| Post Apocalyptic Geo is an average quality article, but could be even better!
Take this article to the next level, and perhaps even further, by editing it, adding pictures, creating more sections, and adding links to make it a High Quality Article, or possibly an Ultra Quality Article! Make sure it sticks though!
Geo the Creature was one of my all-time favorite characters. But something I watched haunted my dreams...
A few months ago, I was at a pawn shop to buy some Geo DVDs so I could relive my childhood. Then I came across a jewel case with a DVD disc inside of it, reading G:TAS-S1; EP14, 114.
Strange! The first five seasons ended in 13 episodes. I never knew there was a 14th episode from season 1 of Geo: The Animated Series. So I got home and inserted the disc into the DVD player.
The intro started perfectly fine, but when I got to the title card of the episode, it said "Post Apocalyptic Geo." I thought it was some kind of horrid joke. So I watched the episode. The episode started off like any other episodes. It showed Geo sleeping in his bedroom and the camera zooms into Geo's face. Then he heard Gree's voice, saying "Geo! Geo!"
Geo jolted out of bed, falling onto the cold hard stone ground and tangling in the bed covers and sheets. He looked up and found himself facing Gree, who held his laser blaster in his left hand and a lantern in the other.
Geo slowly backed up to the wall, keeping his shoulders aligned to the frame. Gree couldn't help but grin evilly, now he had the once-in-a-life-time chance to defeat Geo.
Now he could.
He aimed the lazor-blaster at Geo's scared face, keeping his cold, lifeless eyes locked on Geo's. Suddenly, there was a fuzzy noise in the background, and as Geo began to stand up and aim a fist at Gree, it was too late, Gree blasted Geo. Blood flew everywhere and Gree laughed to himself.
"Now that I have defeated Geo, I can now take over Basopolis! MUHAHAHA!"
The episode ends with Gree smiling as he crept out the room, clutching his laser blaster tight in case it came in handy again.
I took out the disc and threw it out the window.
I swear, I'll never watch Geo again.

Adventure Racing showcasing Connemara in a new light
Gaelforce Connemara in partnership with John West is opening up Connemara's back yard for people keen to test their endurance and adventure spirit. The event formerly known as Connemara Adventure Challenge takes place on May 4th 2019 in Leenane, Co Galway.
Celebrating its 10-year anniversary the team at Gaelforce have introduced a new distance to this stunning route. The new 27km Mini distance offers the same magical scenery but skips the mountain. Making it the ideal introduction for anyone wanting to venture into the world of adventure racing.
The full 32km distance will see participants climb on the foothills of the Maamturk mountains to an elevation of 342m. Participants will explore Connemara by bike, foot and kayak taking in varied views of this magical setting.
Gaelforce Connemara is one of the original Gaelforce races and always a favourite. Bridget Gavin, who participated in the event before taking on a role at Gaelforce says: "It is my favourite of all the adventure races and is definitely the one that got me hooked. Gaelforce Connemara is a totally achievable race." Her tip for any participants is: "Don't forget to stop every so often and look around!"
It is shaping to be a busy weekend in the locality of Leenane with the Connemara Mountain Walking Festival on at the same weekend, which makes it the ideal setting for a mixed group looking for an active Bank Holiday weekend. There are also plenty of activities for all the family such as the 2km looped Killary Coastal Park including a pit stop at the Misunderstood Here, voted in the Top 10 of the world's coolest food trucks by Lonely Planet.
Gaelforce Connemara is proudly supported by John West who will offer a variety of protein options to refuel after the race.
In 2019 Gaelforce has teamed up with Jigsaw, the National Centre for Youth and Mental health as their charity partner. As part of the partnership, participants can donate when registering for the event or become an Everyday Jigsaw Hero and raise vital funds for the charity.

Tchaikovsky's first ballet, Swan Lake, is considered to be the greatest classical ballet of all time. Its romance and beauty has mesmerised audiences for more than 100 years.
Yuri Grigorovich
Yuri Grigorovich is considered to be the greatest living choreographer in the world of ballet today. His ballets dominate the repertory of contemporary works, and his stagings of the classic ballets reflect his personal taste arid his often-stated conviction that drama must always infuse and be expressed through dancing.
He breaks with tradition, yet he himself is rooted in the traditions of classic ballet, by birth and upbringing. He has acute awareness of his inheritance, and of the vital contribution that is made to the performances of today by the guidance of great artists of an earlier generation. On all the Bolshoi's many tours, they are accompanied by such guardians of the classic school as the ballerinas Marina Semyonova (born 1908), Galina Ulanova (born 1910) and Raissa Struchkova (born 1925). To them is entrusted the coaching of young ballerinas, and even established dancers return for help and advice.
Yuri Nikolaievich Grigorovich was born in what was then Leningrad on January 2nd, 1927. His uncle George Rozai, was a character dancer who appeared with Diaghilev's Ballet Russe and his mother, Klaudia Rozai, trained at the ballet school with Semvonova. Many of his family were circus artists and young Yuri was fascinated by the world of the circus, but soon lost his heart to the dance. He describes it as "a love affair that has lasted all my life."
He trained at the Leningrad Choreographic School and along with the other pupils was evacuated to Perm during World War II. He tried to run away (by canoe!) to get to the front but was brought back and eventually graduated in 1946. He joined the Kirov Ballet where he excelled in character roles. His favorite was that of the virtuoso warrior leader Nurali, who can be so sensational in the last act of The Fountain of Bakhchisarai. But he was already, in his formative years, keen to try his hand at choreography and in 1956 was allowed to arrange a ballet to Glinka's Valse-Fantasie for a graduation performance at the Kirov School.
His first major work, undertaken despite the fact that another version already existed in Moscow, was The Stone Flower, to the Prokofiev score which was first performed at the Kirov on April 27, 1957. It marked the first collaboration between Grigorovich and the artist Simon Virsaladze, a man of great culture from Tbilisi, who was to design all his subsequent ballets. In addition to their working partnership they also were the greatest of friends, a relationship that was only broken by Virsaladze's death in 1989, at the age of eighty.
Grigorovich was named ballet master at the Kirov in 1962 but subsequently transferred to Moscow and to the Bolshoi in 1964. Grigorovich was Artistic Director of the Bolshoi Ballet for the following 30 years, a tenure in ballet rivaled only by the founding director of the New York City Ballet, George Balanchine. During Grigorovich's term at the Bolshoi, he staged Spartacus by Khachaturian (1968), Ivan the Terrible by Prokofiev (Moscow, 1975; Paris, 1977), Angara by Eshpai (1876), Romeo and Juliet bv Prokofiev (Paris, 1978; Moscow, 1979), The Golden Age by Shostakovich (1982). Yuri Grigorovich revised classical masterpieces for the Bolshoi Ballet: The Sleeping Beauty (1963), The Nutcracker (1966), Swan Lake (1969) by Tchaikovsky; Raymonda by Glazunov (1984), La Bayadere (1991), La Fille Mal Gardee (1993) by Hertel, Don Quixote (1995) by Minkus.

Kudos to The Flute Society of Washington, Inc. for sponsoring a terrific Mid-Atlantic Flute Fair in Reston, VA on February 18th & 19th.
Their guest artists, Tadeu Coelho and Ian Clarke, were amazing as usual, along with accompanist Tim Carey.
I was thrilled that four of our ScoreVivo pieces were featured in various flute choir reading sessions and performances: Rustic Dance, A Little Joy, Corbit's Charge, and Seventeen Come Sunday.
Many thanks to Sharyn Byer and Wendy Kumer for selecting them and congratulations to Al Hager, Jonathan Cohen, and myself!

This new organic device allows to get an inlet of pre-heated clean air inside the dryer, for approx. 700 watt per square meter of air collectors. It is an optimal way to get heat free from any combustion residue during the drying season, and with a bypass it can heat a huge part of the farm during the winter season.
A simple and fast installation process that can result in a long-lasting saving in fuel and electricity costs. This is a highly repaying investment, furthermore often subsidised by statal aids due to its green energy production.

Jamie McMurray's one last hurrah in the Daytona 500 will come with NASCAR's newest team.
The 42-year-old will make his final Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series start with Spire Motorsports, the team owned by sports management group Spire Sports + Entertainment that emerged last month and acquired the ownership charter previously held by Furniture Row Racing.
McMurray will drive a No. 40 entered in conjunction with Chip Ganassi Racing. It will be his 17th start in the Great American Race. McMurray retired from full-time competition and will serve in an advisory role with Ganassi moving forward.
He has also joined FOX Sports as a television analyst.
"The Daytona 500 is the one race that every NASCAR driver would want to win," McMurray said. "For the rest of your life you get to be introduced or recognized as a Daytona 500 Champion. I'm excited to have the opportunity to potentially be a two-time winner of the race and it would mean so much to celebrate one more win with all of the great partners that have been with me for so many years."
McMurray's Daytona 500 car will carry sponsorship from three partners that have supported him in recent years -- McDonald's, Bass Pro Shops and Cessna. Bass Pro Shops and McDonald's have been on McMurray's cars since 2010, while Cessna has been with him since 2013.
McMurray has made 582 Cup Series starts and has raced for Chip Ganassi Racing since 2010. He also raced for Ganassi from 2002 to '05. Kurt Busch was named to the No. 1 that McMurray had been driving over the past nine seasons.
Following the Daytona 500, the Spire entry will become the No. 77.

WASHINGTON, March 23, 2015 – Relatively short, relatively pithy comments today, on a Monday that appears to be experiencing a modified, limited hangout version of irrational exuberance.
As we learned last week, interest rates aren't going up until they do. The dollar is going up against the euro until it isn't. Oil prices are going down forever until they go up. And nothing is as it seems.
Recent market action feels like Alice must have felt when she encountered that famous mushroom-sitting, hookah-smoking caterpillar. "Whooo … are … you?" the caterpillar famously asked. The average small trader today would have to answer, "I … don't … know…"
This market just seems to get curiouser and curiouser. We have gotten to the point of wondering just what Wall Street's caterpillars are smoking. We'd like some of that stuff ourselves. Maybe it would help us forget just how massively irrational everything has become in the financial world today.
Real estate is tepid. So REITs, having corrected a bit earlier this year, are going back up. Oil, for sure, was going to dive below $40 per barrel for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) within hours, absolutely for sure. Except that between last Thursday and today, WTI has snapped back from the $43 zone to slightly over $47. Interest rates, of course, would be going up to, oh, 6 percent, maybe higher, in June. Now they're not going anywhere anytime soon. More or less. We think.
All this backing and filling is great for the high-frequency traders (HFTs) who love stocks to whipsaw anywhere from a couple of cents to maybe a buck a day, aided and abetted by hundreds of thousands of phony orders they drop into the system and then cancel, the better to move things their way and sucker punch the little guy.
But what's really going on here? We think we know, and it's all like our other metaphor about pick-up sticks. In a messy pile of freshly thrown pick-up sticks, you have to pull each stick out carefully to avoid moving the pile, a trick that eventually become nearly impossible.
Our messy pile of sticks involves symbiotic business, currency and resource action not just in the U.S. but also around the world.
Specifically, the Fed decided to put a hold on the interest rate increases they really, really want to start because the dollar vs. euro move had become incredibly distorted.
With the Europeans finally starting some relatively tepid QE stimulus about four years after they should have launched it, and the U.S. Federal Reserve threatening more and more obviously that they'd likely drop their "patience" in order to increase interest rates soon, the euro-dollar balance shifted with incredible rapidity.
The euro has dropped, in less than a year, from a high point, where it took approximately $1.40 to buy one euro, to a low point last week where, briefly, it took less than $1.05 to make the same swap. That's a huge move in a fairly short period of time.
Not only did this rapid decline threaten to continue, taking the euro below par ($1) vs. the dollar. The strong dollar had also begun to pressure domestic oil prices lower and lower and lower, due to the fact that the dollar was so strong. Lost on the public, and perhaps the Saudis as well, was the simple fact that an appreciating dollar could purchase more oil at lower dollar-denominated prices, meaning that oil prices could drop further and faster than might be healthy for anyone.
In addition, the rampagingly bullish dollar was starting to actually suck a considerable amount of cash out of the Eurozone precisely when the battered economies over there needed cash to start rebuilding their economies. With the promise of potentially much higher interest rates over here, why should European investors dump their money in a system where they essentially had to pay the banks to hold their money, given effective below-zero interest rates on that continent?
It was all too much too fast. We think it likely that, after a few frantic transatlantic phone calls and soulful conversations between banking officials and troubled oligarchs, the Fed decided to pull back, the better to stabilize both the dollar and oil prices in a somewhat higher range than they were heading. But, of course, nobody told us that. Which is why the Maven is telling you now.
So, a confused Wall Street is mostly up today, at least in terms of American stocks. Healthcare still seems to be in a short corrective mode. Consumer durables and utilities are confused. Retail stocks remain fairly strong, even as the pundits swear no one is buying anything. And even copper, long a bellweather for business optimism (until recently) is finally showing some genuine signs of life, indicating that maybe those building trade and real estate stocks (like REITs) aren't behaving so irrationally at all.
Where this goes, nobody knows, but this is what's likely going on under the hood of this market. Until things change again.
Today's trading tips
We finally hit our stop and exited our lovely hedged European stock ETF, HEDJ, for a 12+ percent profit, the best we've had for several weeks during which losses were far easier to book than gains.
We have moved into a small position in the copper ETF (JJC), hopefully to catch what seems to be a long-awaited up-trend over there. We are watching our reduced positions in downstream energy plays Calumet (CLMT) and Kinder Morgan (KMI) recover nicely, at least today, and are also observing that several bond-like ETFs that we hold like PFF (preferred stock holdings) and several individual preferred stocks are starting to sneak back up now that the interest rate increase threat is off the table. At least through May 1, as we were told by Janet Yellen last week.
Since we can trade them without a commission at Schwab, we're also sneaking back into positions in the equal-weight S&P 500 ETF, symbol RSP, as well as Schwab's own small-cap stock ETF, SCHA, given that small caps tend to do better than large cap stocks in an environment like this one, where the little guys are not quite as subject to currency wars as those big multi-nationals.
In addition, we're jumping back in, little by little, to an ETF that follows a broader list of dividend paying "dogs" than the Dogs of the Dow, those Dow stocks that pay the highest dividends. This broader ETF is labeled SDOG, appropriately enough. Similarly, we're trying a second equal-weight S&P ETF labeled SPLV, one we made money in earlier this year.
We are in far more ETFs than actual stocks right now, given that market groups continue to move en masse, making it harder to beat them with individual stock purchases. That could change, but it hasn't yet.

MCMINNVILLE — Tennessee authorities say two former jail officers have been charged with tampering with government records following an inmate's death.
A statement from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says 22-year-old Zechariah Jacob Clark and 28-year-old Steven Thomas Mason were indicted on Sept.6 and arrested Monday. The agency says the arrests stem from the death of a Warren County Jail inmate in January.
The bureau says during its investigation of the death, agents developed information that Clark and Mason did not conduct a required jail walk-through. The statement says jail logs were altered at some point to show that the walk-through had been completed.
Neither man still works at the jail.
It wasn't immediately clear whether Clark and Mason have attorneys.

Does a child have to play to learn? Does a child always learn when they play? Consider the many ways in which children experience learning in the early years.

When Simon Peter saw that (the miraculous catch of fish), he fell down at Jesus' feet, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!" Luke 5: 8
This is just how God is; He enters into our lives in ways that simply make sense. In this case He had spoken a few words and an entire night of futility had turned into a record haul of fish; yet, what had happened was also absolutely miraculous in that it had never happened before, was contrary to all of the laws of professional fishermen, and demonstrated a form of control over Creation that only God can possess. Finally, Peter responds to the presence of God in his life in a very real and vitally important way; for Peter recognizes his own sinful inadequacy, and this acknowledgement opens his heart to the transformational work of Christ.
The Lord walks into my life in this same manner; He brings answers to my needs and shows me the mighty love that He has for me by the fact that He does this despite the condition of my heart and the faithfulness of my mind. In fact, it seems that He often brings these miraculous moments into my view at times when I have simply gone off fishing on my own and walked away from His will. Still, Christ is there, calling my name, preparing a feast for my tired soul, and expressing His desire for my return to Him.
Peter's response is appropriate, for we all need to recognize and to express the sinfulness of our hearts. This is how we realize our deep need for the changes that God wants to make in us, and this is how we release the grip that Satan tries to maintain on parts of our beings. The real beauty to me in this situation is the way that Jesus responds to this vulnerability and confession of weakness. Christ says that we should not fear, for He has great things in store for us, He has a path of travel planned for us, and God, Himself, is committed to walk it at our sides.

Mr Wright abused five boys at Caldicott
Preparatory School between 1959 and 1970
The former headmaster of a school attended by Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg by has been jailed for eight years for sexually abusing pupils.
Roland Peter Wright, 83, of Farnham Royal, Buckinghamshire, abused five boys at Caldicott Preparatory School between 1959 and 1970.
He was found guilty of assaulting five pupils aged between eight and 13.
His sentencing went ahead despite the death of another former teacher who had been due to appear with him.
Hugh Henry, 82, apparently threw himself under a train on Tuesday.
Judge Joanna Cutts QC told Wright: "These offences were so serious that it is beyond question that only a custodial sentence can be justified.
"I have to sentence you for multiple offending against each of these victims.
"This was prolonged activity, the boys were groomed by a master at a school responsible for their care."
Mr Clegg, who was a pupil at the school from 1974 until 1980, spoke of his concern at the news of Wright's conviction at Amersham Crown Court in December.
"I am shocked and appalled by the gross betrayal of trust and violation of childhood innocence that has been shown to have taken place at Caldicott," he said at the time.

Films From India – Our Movie Review of Parched
Movie: Parched (2016)
Director: Leena Yadav
Producer: Ajay Devgn, Aseem Bajaj, Gulab Singh, and Rohan Jagdale
Cast: Surveen Chawla, Tannishtha Chateerjee, Radhika Apte, and Leher Khan
Review: The northern state of Rajasthan is one of the most picturesque and massively popular tourist destinations in India — and it has two sides.
One side is evidenced by an ever-burgeoning tourist trade (on account of its vibrant culture and rich heritage), and the other, a deeply unfortunate one that lies unvisited in the deep interiors, where a lack of education and prosperity run amok.
The latter is the result of unprogressive ideas, which have prohibited growth and the most basic tenets of life.
What often fails to meet the public eye is the deplorable conditions facing women, especially those marred by personal losses and poverty.
And Parched is a brave and colorful attempt to represent the misery and plight of village women in Rajasthan, who are not part of the glowing image of the larger urbanized India, women who are not always able to truly advance and celebrate life.
Parched's lead characters tidily narrate the close chemistry and friendship between four women who face life's tragedies and unruly village behaviors. And while they succumb to pangs of everyday melancholy, they try their best to smile and endure.
The story warms the audience's heart with an earthy and humane touch.
The main heroes here: Rani (Chatterjee), a widow who's caught between an unruly son and the shambles of her villagers who won't let her grow; Laajo (Apte), a woman repeatedly abused by an alcoholic husband who can't see her progress; Janaki (Leher), Rani's young daughter-in law who's been caged in a marriage where the husband seems totally uninterested in her; and Bijli (Chawla), a village dancer who's been victimized by poverty and deplorable societal conduct.
Rani and Lajo's bond is a testimony to true friendship and the balm that heals ravaged hearts and troubled souls.
The two characters are desperate for male attention, one having had no contact whatsoever with any male, having lost her husband at the prime of her youth, and the other having to commune with a man outside her caste in order to embrace the joy of motherhood.
Rani and Lajo look after each other and will stick by each other no matter the situation.
And there are plenty of situations here.
The real hero and charmer to me is Bijli (played with supreme self-confidence by Surveen) who, prior to this, was usually cast in films as the good-looking woman. In this movie, she's more than a beautiful actor. Bijli is unruffled by constant calumny and graces the film as a wild and free spirit who isn't afraid to stand up to oppression and tyranny.
Parched grows on you and forces you to think of an India that sometimes lies buried under the hold of village and fails miserably in according women the respect and affection they deserve. It is a free-spirited march toward the liberation of women who deserve to win and live and along with their victory you feel your own bondages have been snapped once and for all. It's a must-watch.
Rating: (one to five whistles, five being the best): 4 Whistles

Non Payment
The only way costs will mount beyond our initial calculation is if you do not comply with the terms of the loan agreement. If our first collection attempt is declined by your bank – because you have not made sure that there are enough funds available – we will do our best to contact you as soon as possible, as we always hope to resolve the situation as quickly as possible. However, your bank may charge you for not having sufficient funds available in your account.
We will then make further attempts to collect the money from your account and our professional collections team will also keep trying to contact you to discuss the situation. If your circumstances have changed significantly, they will do their best to offer a solution and come to an arrangement that helps you best, which is always our goal.
We do not believe in charging you with ongoing and multiple charges, like most lenders, but interest will continue to mount on your balance for up to 90 days if we can not reach a fair agreement in the meantime. If we do not reach an agreement and we can not recover the money over a reasonable period, your account will be passed to an external collections partner. Legal Action will be taken.
Continued failure to repay a loan will also mean credit bureaus will record the outstanding debt. Finally, your rating will be affected and you probably won't be able to borrow from us again.
None of these things are worth the risk, so if you have doubts about whether you'll be able to comfortably repay a loan, please do not apply in the first place.

ISG is approaching the final phase for the delivery of an 87,000 sq ft fit out for a confidential British multinational oil and gas company situated at Grade A office development, Marina One East Tower.
ISG also delivered its previous premises in 2004.
The scheme will be constructed to meet sustainable accreditation, BCA Green Mark Award.
The fit out includes the creation of open office space consisting 781 workstations, 40 meeting rooms, reception and guest waiting area, an IT support 'bar', quiet zones with sleeping pods, a trading floor housing over 280 dealer trading desks, restrooms and an internal feature staircase connecting two floors.
The highly technical project also involves MEP services to provide high-level critical infrastructure, detailed design and complex systems, all to be delivered within a challenging 16-week timescale.
ISG's project manager, Kwaku Bekoe, said: "The team and partnering trading contractors have worked so well to achieve key milestone dates, from statutory inspections through to the first handover date for the plant rooms and trading desk area.
"This has been a challenging project from day one, with a lot of planning and communications at all levels to ensure everyone is pulling in the same direction.
"From managing the upstream requirements, expectations and design changes, to the downstream management of procurement and onsite co-ordination within a congested site.
"With days to go, it is all coming together so well and we are very excited to see the handover very soon."
The new office will be handed over in January 2018.

He has rescued 5000 destitute people from the streets of Bangalore
In this racing world, where each one of us crib about our busy lives and hardships, there lives a man in the Silicon City of Bengaluru, who endeavors to bring a change by rendering a gallant service to the society. Mr. Joshua T. Raja, famously known as Auto Raja, is the pioneer behind the New Ark Mission- where Hope gets a New Light, since its inception in 1997, the rehabilitation center- 'Home of Hope' has left no stone unturned to give a healthy and happy life to the impoverished souls, both young and old, who would have otherwise died on the street pavements with ruthless diseases.
"Since the day I started, I am running this under public donations only", says Mr. Raja. He exclaims that he has received a lot of recognition from the Government, but none of the governmental bodies have come forward to aid the organization in any way. When asked about his experience so far, he narrates, "Whenever I approach the destitute, passers–by and even the people I intend to rescue are surprised. Some suspect me of luring these people into hospitals and stealing their organs. The destitute themselves are taken aback by me holding them because they have never been approached by anyone before."
The people, who are rescued by the Mission, are often found in unimaginable conditions. Some of them are so weak that they can barely move their limbs, while others who just manage to move need to battle with the street dogs to feed themselves from the leftover in trash bins. Most of them rejected by their families and are living the most merciless lives with their bodies covered with sores.
In its eighteenth year, the New Ark Mission has rescued over 5000 people from the fringes of the city and has provided them with a proper health facility. More than 1500 people have also been returned to their families after proper cure and recovery. The Home of Hope also helps the sick and elderly to die with dignity. It is more than a mere shelter for the poor and neglected. It is a home where the inmates live like a family. It is a family that has become a reality due to the hard work and perseverance of one man and his undying faith in the Almighty. "My goal is to shelter at least 1000 destitute in the days to come." remarks Mr. Raja.
Mr. Raja truly believes, "We should not wait for another Mother Teresa to come; Youth of our country should get awareness to do this social cause."

I pick PR Sreejesh's brains: Mumbai lad Suraj Karkera
Mumbai lad Suraj Karkera is grateful for the opportunity to stay back in Bhubaneswar with the Indian team and learn under his idol PR Sreejesh
Mumbai–based hockey goalkeeper Suraj Karkera considers himself fortunate to be part of the Indian team at the World Cup here. That's because he is a part of the Indian camp inspite of failing to make the 18-member World Cup line-up. He is among the stand-bys, who have been retained by the team management so that they gain valuable exposure at the quadrennial showpiece event.
"It's a great opportunity to be part of a World Cup team in your own country. How many players get that opportunity? If the tournament was abroad, we [stand-bys] would not have been taken along," Karkera, 23, a Malad resident, told mid-day during a visit to the Fan Village at the Kalinga Stadium here
Karkera is in awe of his idol and senior goalkeeper PR Sreejesh. "Sreejesh has been doing such a fine job for Team India over the years. Everything he does is noteworthy — the way he holds and uses his stick, his moves, his dives, his anticipation and skill. I watch and learn every day," said Karkera, a product of veteran Mumbai-based coach Marzban 'Bawa' Patel. Krishan Pathak is Team India's second goalkeeper for the World Cup.
Learning in Bandra
Karkera began playing hockey for his school Children's Acadamy, Malad, and then honed his skills at Rizvi College, Bandra, before excelling under the bar for club, Bombay Republicans. A chance visit by then Junior India coach Harendra Singh (current coach of the senior India team), who was a chief guest at the Willingdon Catholic Gymkhana's rink hockey tournament in Khar in 2015, saw him earn a call-up to the Junior India camp. Thereafter, he played for UP Wizards at the franchise-based Hockey India League and earned his senior India call-up for the 2016 Sultan Azlan Shah event. But an ankle injury saw him miss out.
Senior India debut
He made his Sr India debut the following year and won gold at the 2017 Asia Cup in Dhaka. At the team hotel here, Karkera is sharing his room with another stand-by Jarmanpreet Singh, but tries to spend as much time as possible around Sreejesh. "I constantly pick Sreejesh's brains, ask him questions about goalkeeping and the game in general, and he always responds very patiently.
He says that he learnt some of the finer nuances of the game only after the age of 25, which is quite late, but is happy that we have got the opportunity to learn early. His physical ability notwithstanding, I'm in awe of his mental strength — it's amazing how he manages to perform despite being under pressure all the time," said Karkera, who was a ball boy in the first edition of the HIL in 2013 and played in the fourth edition, again under the guidance of Sreejesh, who was the first goalkeeper of UP Wizards. "I've been chasing Sreejesh since then. I'm still catching up," he said.

As part of European and US/Canadian regulations to reduce accidents, commercial motor vehicle drivers must follow regulations limiting their driving hours.
Lab tests have shown that most people can't really estimate when they become drowsy; as a result, it became essential to regulate driving hours without depending on the drivers' own judgment as to when they need to take a break.
Many countries have their own regulation mechanisms to limit driving hours for commercial vehicles, based on what they estimate would be suitable for their drivers. The most commonly known regulations are the DTCO for the European region, FMCSA for the US, and Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service for Canada.
At Cellocator, we ensure compliance with these regulations through an interface for transferring the data to the backend.
USA & Canada
To properly calculate and present hours of service according to its regulations, an Electronic Logging Device (ELD) is used in the US and Canada. This requires integral synchronization by interfacing with the commercial vehicle Engine Control Unit (ECU); in turn, this automatically captures engine power status, vehicle motion status, miles driven, and engine hours.
Most ELD applications require an ECU data collection device (Fleet Tracking Device) in order to obtain the information they need from the vehicle CANBUS to facilitate the hours of service application.
What is required from the Fleet Tracking Device?
- Provide the necessary data required from the ECU - engine power status, vehicle motion status, milesdriven, and engine hours.
- Large database of vehicle types and models for CANBUS parameter integration.
- The device should be able to connect with the ELD directly, either through a physical interface, wired or wireless connection.
Since the HOS application, ELD and Fleet Tracking Device are usually an integral part of a full Fleet Management solution, choosing the right fleet device is critical as it relates to the entire system compliance, capabilities, performance and durability.
Cellocator, with its Cello-CANiQ product line for Intelligent Fleet Management (FMS solutions), receives the necessary and essential information to facilitate a full ELD application of HOS, as well as advanced features that support the special features and functionalities of a comprehensive FMS solution.
The BT Extender serves as a Bluetooth interface, supporting the wireless communication channels between the Cello-CANiQ and ELD device. Cello-CANiQ, together with the BT Extender, provides the right access to the ELD device and sends the relevant information to fulfill the regulation requirements.
The Digital Tachograph is a recorder of the professional drivers' activities (including rest periods and driving hours). It provides trustworthy information to EU enforcers controlling compliance with Social Regulation (EC) No 561/2006.
The benefits of a digital tachograph include:
- Increases road safety by controlling driving activity (limiting daily driving hours for drivers).
- Ensures minimum working conditions standards for professional drivers.
- Guarantees fair competition between EU transport companies.
- Reduces management efforts and costs.
Connection between the digital tachograph and the on-board computer allows operators to read the driver card and the mass memory while the vehicle is out on the road. Advanced FMS systems warn both the back- office and the drivers in real-time if the permitted driving and resting times are about to be exceeded.
If the digital tachograph is connected to the CANBUS, vehicle-related data can also be registered and processed, in addition to trip-related data. This opens up the possibility to monitor fuel consumption and the drivers' driving style.
How is it done?
The Cello-CANiQ unit uses the online information provided by the DTCO device (note that we have reviewed two DTCO device manufacturers: VDO and Stoneridge) for providing the Fleet Management application with sufficient data for DTCO based reports and alerts, such as:
- Drivers status and working hours reports
- Vehicle working hours and usage
- Violation of working hours regulation alert
- Over speeding alerts
- Using measured vehicle information such as speed and odometer to enrich existing reports
Tachograph data forwarding
There are two sources of information via which the Cello-CANiQ device can receive tachograph data; direct from the DTCO (D8 connector) which is the rich information source, or via J1939 connectivity (according to FMS standards) to the vehicle ECU. The data transfer from the Cello CANiQ device to the backend is performed via Type 11 protocol.
Remote company card authentication and remote data downloading
(This feature is to be developed together with the Fleet Management back office platform)
As part of DTCO regulations, it is required to also support remote authentication and remote data downloading from the DTCO to the backend. The trigger for such a process can come from the DTCO itself or from the backend. For that purpose, the Cello CANiQ unit should be able to connect to the DTCO's CAN interface.
The protocol between the backend and DTCO via the Cello CANiQ unit is defined in the "Digital Tachograph Specification for remote company card authentication and remote data downloading Version 2.0" document.

This last week my daughter and her Dad popped the hood on the car they have been working on for a few months in preparation for her 16th birthday to perform an oil change. This might not be a typical Daddy-Daughter activity, but it is one of the ways we help teach self reliance to our children.
To perform our oil changes we have always chosen Quaker State® Ultimate Durability™ Full Synthetic Motor Oil as our go-to DIY oil! For me, it started with my Dad, because he trusted it and it is a product I know I can trust, plus I have the peace of mind knowing our cars are well maintained.
I purchased the Quaker State® Ultimate Durability™ Full Synthetic Motor Oil – 5 QT at Walmart on rollback for a great everyday low price of $20.24.
Here are a few DIY oil changing tips:
- Invest in a funnel and an inexpensive, but good pan to catch the oil. Safety glasses are also a good idea.
- Have paper towels on the ready for when your hands get a little oily.
- Also a good set of wrenches make DIY oil changes a snap.
- Most cars clearly identify the oil cap. On this car it is yellow and says oil.
- Time oil changes in order to help remind yourself. For example the first day of summer, fall, etc.
- While you have your hood up, check your coolant and windshield wiper levels.
In case the idea of performing a DIY oil change seems like something you may not have the time for, consider choosing the affordability and ease of the DIFM (Do It For Me) $19.88 Pit Crew Oil change at the Walmart Auto Center. It's an easy option and you can still have the peace of mind knowing your car is being taken care of properly.
The Pit Crew Oil Change at the Walmart Auto Care Center includes up to 5 quarts of Quaker State® conventional motor oil (5W-20, 5W-30 or 10W-30), a new oil filter, chassis lubrication (where applicable), battery performance check and tire pressure adjustment as needed. This service meets industry standards. See your vehicle's owner's manual for requirements.
The best part is that with your savings by choosing either the DIY or DIFM option, you can use those savings to purchase other things. Like for instance, stylish accessories to wear while you drive around…..
Way before I turned 16, my parents would have me help with regular car maintenance. Not that I would crawl under the car or anything. Although doing that duty sounded fun to me, but they would have me help with oil changes, filling tires, changing lights, and doing all of those things that help to keep a car running in top condition. As Latinos, my parents wanted to make sure that I learned having a car is both a responsibility and a source of freedom as you use it to secure work, further your schooling, and learn valuable skills and knowledge.
Over the years participating in car duty just came pretty naturally for me, and when I became a mother I knew I wanted to teach my children these same skills. I felt it would be especially important for my teens as they embarked on the driving years. In a few short weeks, my oldest daughter will hopefully be getting her license. As parents, my husband and I hope we have taught this same respect for a vehicle to her, and that if you care for it, the freedom of a vehicle will help you to get places which will enrich and better your life.
Alright, sixteen and driving here we come! Hopefully all of these lessons we have taught her will be remembered!
Thanks for stopping in and I hope next time you are looking for a good oil change option, you choose Quaker State® Ultimate Durability™ Full Synthetic Motor Oil and/or the Walmart Pit Crew Oil Change!

China Warns of Latest National Security Threat: 'Sea Turtles'
Chinese state media sent a clear warning message this week: as the number of young people studying abroad rises, so, too, do risks to the country's national security.
On Wednesday night, state broadcaster CCTV reported that a young man who had studied abroad in an unnamed country had been caught in 2013 taking photos of a military complex in the eastern Chinese city of Ningbo. Chinese students who have returned from studying abroad are typically called haigui, or "sea turtles," in Mandarin.
The broadcaster said the man, named Chen Wei, had assisted a foreign contact in helping track the movement of Chinese coast guard boats and other vessels patrolling a disputed island chain in the East China Sea.
The islands are controlled by Japan, which calls them the Senkaku Islands. But they are also claimed by China, which has its own name for them, the Diaoyu Islands. At the time the incident occurred three years ago, tensions ran particularly high between China and Japan, with the former dispatching ships and planes into the region.
"The year 2013 was the most sensitive time for the situation around the Diaoyu Islands," CCTV said. "If this information was grasped by another party, should there be a minor incident that were to spark a war, our nation's security would be seriously threatened."
Mr. Chen received "200,000 units of a foreign currency," according to CCTV which did not name the currency. He was sentenced to seven years' imprisonment; it wasn't clear when. It wasn't possible to reach Mr. Chen for comment.
"Right now, the number of people studying and working abroad is rising. When people leave their homes, they pay a lot of attention to their personal and property security. Actually, people should be even more mindful of another kind of security: national security," CCTV said.
As incomes have risen, the number of Chinese students choosing to go abroad has likewise vaulted. Between 2008 and 2015, the number of Chinese students in U.S. schools more than tripled to 304,040, according to data from the Institute of International Education.
China isn't alone in worrying that students abroad present rich targets for foreign intelligence agencies. In 2014, the FBI released a 30-minute video cautioning American students in China against the lure of attractive female handlers and easy cash. The film was based on the real-life case of Glenn Shriver, a U.S. citizen found to have taken some $70,000 from people affiliated with the Chinese government. In 2011, he pleaded guilty to conspiring to provide national defense information to unauthorized individuals.
It wasn't clear why Mr. Chen's case was only being disclosed now, although the report comes as Beijing is trying to ratchet up awareness about the need to be vigilant against spies of all stripes.
Earlier this week, state media also publicized the case of a former computer technician sentenced to death after he sold sensitive materials to foreign spies between 2002 and 2011, the year he was detained. Reports didn't state which country received the materials or what year the man was sentenced.
Such cautionary tales have been circulated in the wake of last Friday's first-ever National Security Education Day, which in Beijing was marked by the hanging of posters warning locals about the risks of dating foreigners. Titled "Dangerous Love," the cartoon-style posters featured a charming red-haired foreigner who claims he's a visiting scholar and in that role manages to entice his Chinese girlfriend to hand over sundry government documents.
The bespectacled foreigner is seen giving the ostensible object of his affection flowers and praising her beauty and gentleness. "These materials will be very helpful for me as I write academic articles," he tells her. She ends up sitting handcuffed, crying, in a police station.

Mobile broadband usage in 2010 was three times the size of the entire global internet in 2000, states a Cisco visual networking index (VNI) report. Peter Ford, senior director and head of service provider at Cisco, talks about this potential market in the MEA region.
CommsMEA: What is the current trend for mobile broadband growth in the MEA region?
PF: In 2010, global mobile data traffic almost tripled for the third year in a row, a rate which was higher than anticipated and indicative of trends to follow over the next five years.
According to a Cisco VNI report, the Middle East and Africa region is expected to have the highest regional mobile data traffic growth rates, with a CAGR of 129% (63-fold growth) during the period from 2010 to 2015, followed by Latin America at 111% and central and eastern Europe at 102%. The mobile-only internet population is to grow from 14 million last year to 788 million by the end of 2015.
It is forecast that KSA and UAE will pioneer long term evolution (LTE) adoption in the Middle East. LTE penetration is predicted to reach over 3%, more than Western European averages.
Whilst the Middle East is a smaller market, it is better positioned for growth. In the absence of fixed broadband infrastructure, many are now solely relying on mobile broadband to satisfy their internet needs. It is here where we see the Middle East accelerating ahead of other regions in mobile broadband growth.
CommsMEA: What are the emerging business models from broadband deployments in this region?
PF: The broadband environment is changing, and operators will face challenges in finding the right solutions to complex service differentiation demands, in selecting the most favorable network technology options, and in building the optimal customer service model. As more countries in the MENA region move toward a competitive structure, several opportunities will become available for ISPs and operators with global presence to grab a piece of the local broadband market.
Using new technologies such as wireless broadband and FTTP, it becomes more possible to provide high-speed broadband in an economic manner. This helps in reducing the barrier for entry into the broadband market to new operators, while making it increasingly profitable for existing operators.
While mobile technologies are increasingly being used especially when fixed show limited returns, regional operators have already started using these wireless data technologies to offer their customers broadband services on the go.
CommsMEA: Which areas do you address in the operator space?
PF: We work with mobile operators throughout the Middle East and Africa region in enabling them to build flexible, scalable, and secure networks. The Cisco IP Next-Generation Network (IP NGN) architecture supports medianet, mobile internet transformation, data center, and cloud computing solutions.
CommsMEA: How do you think operators can cope with the growing mobile data demand in the MEA region? How Cisco works with operators in easing their networks for increased efficiency?
PF: As mobile data traffic doubles every year, the mobile internet is at a turning point. We work with mobile operators to identify and quantify the potential savings that can be realised by implementing our various optimisation techniques.
Our IP NGN evolves operators' networks and business models enabling them to uncover potential revenue opportunities from advanced mobile services. For example, the Cisco Mobile Internet Network will help operators to manage the rapid growth in mobile data and profit from it.
We support all leading radio access technologies to create a network of networks with full mobility for faster service deployment, scalability and cost-effectiveness. Our practical tools help operators to gauge the savings potential.
CommsMEA: The emergence of the mobile apps market is dependent on the growth of the local language content. What is the current trend of this market?
PF: Untapped potential, the expansion of 3G networks and increasing use of smartphones are all leading to a dramatic rise in the demand for mobile applications and value added services (VAS) in the MEA region. Over a longer period, the MEA region has been set to be among the top global smartphone markets, with a sustained CAGR of 39% for the next four years. As a result of this growth, mobile manufacturers are increasing their efforts toward the development of Arabic language apps by introducing more locally relevant content and products to consumers.

Marvel will soon gain back control of the X-Men, Fantastic Four and hundreds of other characters as part of the purchase of FOX but there's only one character they should keep…
By Damon Martin — Editor/Lead Writer
2019 will be the year that Marvel finally debuts a leading woman in a starring role with 'Captain Marvel' coming in March and then just two months later 'Avengers: Endgame' will land in theaters effectively shuffling in a new era in the complex and intertwined shared cinematic universe.
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige spent 10 years meticulously building a world where all of the superheroes and villains from comic books would finally exist in the same universe — a device that for some reason had never really been used previously until the Marvel Cinematic Universe was created.
While much of this year is already plotted out at Marvel, perhaps the biggest event that will happen at the studio in 2019 is the expected finalization of the sale where Disney will own the majority of FOX's assets.
The $71.3 billion deal will give Disney control over a lot of properties from 'The Simpsons' to the 'Alien' franchise to FX Networks and the myriad of award-winning shows that come along with it but for all the ways this puzzle will come together later this year, perhaps the most exciting piece that will fall in place is the return of hundreds of Marvel characters who were previously controlled by FOX.
The most obvious characters will be those existing in the X-Men universe — Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Professor X, Magneto, etc — as well as the Fantastic Four, Doctor Doom, Galactus, the Silver Surfer and hundreds more than have been part of the FOX family for more than two decades.
Funny enough, Feige cut his teeth as an associate producer on the first 'X-Men' movie back in 2000 primarily because of his knowledge of the Marvel Universe. Now Feige will get to play in that sandbox once again as he will have the opportunity to incorporate the X-Men, Fantastic Four and plenty more into the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
With that huge influx of characters also come a lot of pending questions because FOX has spent the past 19 years making numerous films primarily surrounding the X-Men with billions made at the box office and many of those movies being critically acclaimed.
In fact just last year, 'Logan' was nominated for an Oscar for best screenplay based on the characters and original story from Marvel Comics.
Beyond what has already been done in the past, two fully produced films are still yet to be released with 'X-Men: Dark Phoenix' and 'The New Mutants' expected to land in theaters even as Disney will actually gain ownership over those movies.
What Feige and the higher ups at Disney will soon have to decide is whether or not it's worth saving anything or anybody from those long string of FOX films or just scrap the entire universe and start over again with new actors, new stories and new origins that will belong solely to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Perhaps the toughest part about those upcoming decisions is the fact that FOX already rebooted the X-Men universe with a cast of younger actors that started out with 'X-Men: First Class' and will continue into the upcoming 'X-Men: Dark Phoenix' sequel.
Included in that cast is James McAvoy, who has received praise for his portrayal of Charles Xavier as well as Michael Fassbender as the villainous Magneto. 'Game of Thrones' star Sophie Turner took over the role of Jean Grey and her on screen sister Maisie Williams will soon play another X-Men character in the upcoming 'New Mutants' film as well.
It's safe to say the two most famous roles in the X-Men shared universe would be Hugh Jackman, who plays Logan/Wolverine and of course Ryan Reynolds, who portrays the loudmouth, fourth wall breaking assassin known as Deadpool.
Because Jackman and Reynolds have defined those roles so heavily over the past few years — not to mention their real live bromance when the cameras aren't rolling — it's understandable why many Marvel fans are hoping that at least those two actors will carry over into the new shared cinematic universe once Disney gains control over the X-Men franchise.
In fact, perusing Reddit and other fan forums will see dozens of theories about how Hugh Jackman should make an appearance, even if it's a brief one, in the upcoming 'Avengers: Endgame' movie just to begin that transition with the X-Men showing up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The problem is Jackman has already made it clear that he's pretty much done playing Wolverine and at 50 years of age — even with his abs — he's on the wrong side of time as Marvel begins plotting out the next 10 years of films.
It's a little different case when it comes to Reynolds and his foul-mouthed portrayal of Wade Wilson aka the Merc with a Mouth aka Deadpool.
Reynolds is only 42 — the same age as Robert Downey Jr. when he was cast as billionaire Tony Stark for the 'Iron Man' movie that launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe — but most importantly he embodies Deadpool more than any other actor in the X-Men films.
If there is going to be a Deadpool under the Disney regime, it essentially has to be Reynolds or they might as well write that character off all together.
Reynolds not only spearheaded the idea that a 'Deadpool' movie could work but he transformed a little known character from the X-Men comics into a massive box office success story. Chances are nobody was ever going to think about making a 'Deadpool' movie much less really putting that version of the character into the X-Men film universe if it wasn't for Reynolds.
Now it will be tricky to find a way to incorporate Deadpool into the Marvel Cinematic Universe — partially because he's an 'R' rated antihero — but mostly because to only use him again, you'd essentially have to rewrite his origin story and pretend he never interacted with the X-Men characters who were a part of the first two films in that series.
Still, that's not an impossible task, especially given Feige's innate ability to weave together characters through a single shared universe without sacrificing time or story for any of them.
As for Jackman, he's definitely embodied Wolverine for nearly two decades but it's easier to replace him than it would be for Reynolds. Maybe a safer bet would be to recreate the X-Men at first minus Wolverine to put some space between the new version of the character and the beloved one played by Jackman through so many movies.
Still, finding a new Wolverine wouldn't be nearly as tough as discovering somebody else who could play Deadpool even remotely close to what Reynolds has done with that character.
As for the rest of the X-Men film universe, nobody is truly irreplaceable.
Patrick Stewart was brilliant as Professor X in the original 'X-Men' movies but no one really complained when James McAvoy took over the role. The same could be said for the brilliant Ian McKellen, who more or less gave up his role as Magneto to the equally menacing Michael Fassbender.
Marvel has rarely missed when it has come to casting characters in their cinematic universe and it's tough to imagine they couldn't scour IMDB and eventually find somebody new to play Professor X and Magneto. Even as much as Jackman has been a great Wolverine, he exited with a beautiful swan song in 'Logan' and there's really nothing left that could top that performance.
It's going to take several years for Feige to truly incorporate the X-Men into the Marvel Cinematic Universe because even as he takes control in 2019, he still has to find a way to build them into their own movies and then plot out how they will interact with the existing characters such as Spider-Man, Doctor Strange and Captain Marvel.
That bit of distance could allow Feige to say goodbye to McAvoy, Fassbender, Jackman and nearly everybody else while finding the right actors to take over those roles in the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The time between movies would also allow them to orchestrate an introduction for Reynolds as Deadpool into the current Marvel Universe without skipping a beat.
Now it's entirely possible that Feige makes a completely different decision than the one we just laid out — and after all he's done, there should be t-shirts printed with the words 'In Feige We Trust' scribbled across the front of them — but the truth is everybody not named Ryan Reynolds who has ever played in the X-Men universe is expendable and starting over fresh would be the best move for Marvel in 2019 and beyond.

SHLB Coalition Statement on FCC Decision to Fund FY2018 Rural Health Care Applicants May 20, 2019
For Immediate Release
Alicja Johnson
Washington, D.C. (May 20, 2019) - Today the Federal Communications Commission issued an Order directing the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) to fully fund all eligible Rural Health Care (RHC) applications for the 2018 funding year. Thousands of rural hospitals, health clinics and other providers depend upon the RHC program to obtain the affordable broadband they need to treat patients and provide telemedicine services.
John Windhausen Jr., executive director of the Schools, Health and Libraries Broadband (SHLB) Coalition, made the following statement:
"The SHLB Coalition is pleased that the FCC has decided to fully fund FY 2018 applications for RHC funding. We also appreciate the recognition that multi-year contracts approved for year one are given 'evergreen' status in future years so that they do not have to go through the competitive bidding process again. Unfortunately, the extension of the filing window is extremely limited and should have been extended to all RHC participants because of the excessive delays in funding. We hope that the FCC continues to work on completing the broader RHC rulemaking proceeding by the target date of June 30, 2019."
About SHLB:
The SHLB Coalition is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) advocacy organization that supports open, affordable, high-quality broadband connections for anchor institutions and their surrounding communities. The SHLB Coalition is based in Washington, D.C. and has a diverse membership of commercial and non-commercial organizations from across the United States. To learn more, visit www.shlb.org.

Imagine diving into a whimsical garden, designed to excite both your mind and senses. Artist Bliss Cavanagh created just that – an incredibly immersive and interactive space at the Newcastle Museum in Australia earlier this year.
The temporary exhibition titled "Summer Sensory Garden" featured an exaggerated natural landscape with playful elements and pops of color to inspire childlike wonder. Filled with towering pom-pom dandelions and oversized luminescent flowers, the space used colorful lighting and reflective surfaces to paint a stimulating visual journey. Textured elements like fuzzy butterflies and sounds of popping bubbles engaged the rest of the senses, transporting guests into a magical new world. Visitors explored and discovered the space in their own way and at their own pace, creating a unique and personalized experience for each individual.
The artist used Nanoleaf Light Panels to create illuminated flowers, drawing in and delighting visitors from all around the exhibit. Cavanagh discovered the Light Panels while working on a previous project and thought they would be the perfect addition for "Summer Sensory Garden." The kaleidoscopic colorways and shape customizations created each perfectly formed petal of the blossoms.
As a strong advocate for mental health and wellbeing, the artist set out to create a space that inspired positivity simply through its environment. The exhibit has even been used for silent sessions hosted for children with special needs, with the museum's curator noting that the lights have had incredible calming effects on children with autism.
The exhibition overall was incredibly well received, and while temporary at the Newcastle Museum, Cavanaugh has and will continue to create such immersive sensory experiences all around the country, and the world.

Apple has introduced iOS9 with Ad blocking capability for mobile web in response to consumers desire for an ad free experience. Does this mean that the milk and honey of the Internet have stopped flowing?
Online advertising is not inherently evil. In fact, advertising allows the Internet to be free. Ads are simply distracting because they are not timely, relevant, and subtle. Contrary to popular belief, the end is not nigh for advertising publishers. Here are three reasons why publishers should soldier on:
1. Consumer Preferences
According to Flurry, 86% of mobile users prefer apps to mobile web. The problem with mobile web browsers is its usability since users are forced to click, search and scroll before they achieve their purpose. Although mobile web browsers may only be a few seconds longer, it accelerates user experience decay.
Apps are created to with a purpose(s) to match a specific intent. According to SmartInsights, the Top 3 Apps are used for games, Facebook, and entertainment. This is a stark contrast with web browsers, which are generally used for informative purposes. Apps provide consumers with tools that are easier, quicker, and useful. So far, App usage is growing and is sheltered from Ad Blockers.
According to eMarketer, mobile app ad spending is accelerating faster than mobile web. Ad blockers appearing in mobile browsers are likely to be a cause of the migration of funds to app ads. But this is not the only factor that drives app ad advertising spending; it's also about the contextual advertising.
Contextual advertising targets specific audience based on time, location, profile, and behaviors. According to a white paper published by Microsoft Research, "US consumers spent 30% more time on mobile apps than on traditional web, advertisers spent 1600% less money on mobile ads." With all these variables, delivering contextual ads with the right ad network is difficult to achieve, let alone optimize.
Programmatic Ad Mediation solves this problem by automatically managing ads across multiple ad networks. This enables publishers to display ads in real time, target specific audiences, platform, and most importantly, ad revenue.
With Programmatic Ad Mediation, publishers optimizes revenue by allowing advertisers to bid for inventory. Meanwhile, advertising platforms automatically adjusts dozens of variables (e.g. bid price, network reach, etc.) in real time based on performance to determine the right campaign settings to achieve the desired return on investment. Algorithms that filter impressions based on behavioral data allow online developers to spend more time developing and less time reading spreadsheets.
While Programmatic Ad Meditation can be built in-house, advertising platforms such as Appodeal have built marketplaces where publishers engage ad networks in auction-based competition for every ad impression.
3. Performance
It's no secret that advertising drives the Internet, but how effective are ads displayed In app vs. mobile web?
Turns out Click Through Rates for app ads are twice as effective as mobile web. This should not come as a surprise since many apps collect a tremendous amount of user data upon signups. This enables ads to be targeted at specific audiences at the peak of engagement.
But fill rate is also an important key performance indicator. By optimizing fill rates, developers can maximize the opportunities for revenue. The challenge is getting the highest bidder to purchase ad space consistently. Manually selecting and running auction based ads based is tedious and repetitive. The benefit of Programmatic Ad Mediation is the ability to sell ad space to the highest bidder automatically.
But wait, there's more...
Earlier this month, TechCrunch reported that Apple approved the app that block ads in native apps through Virtual Private Network (VPN). Question is - how many mobile units use a VPN? According to eConsultancy, 28% use Mobile VPN.
While mobile VPN usage is not a cause for alarm, it is important to anticipate the trends in the mobile advertising industry. There are many tools and techniques to consider. Selecting the best solution begins with focusing on what is easier, faster, and most lucrative.

Goldschmidt, Young HR in 9th for 2-1 D-backs wins
Puts gets 23rd save for D-backs
ST. LOUIS — Paul Goldschmidt and Chris Young homered on consecutive pitches from Jason Motte with one out in the ninth inning, leading the Arizona Diamondbacks over the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1 Thursday night.
With St. Louis ahead 1-0 on Allen Craig's RBI single in the fifth, Motte (4-4) struck out Miguel Montero leading off the ninth. Goldschmidt, who hit a 456-foot homer in Wednesday's 5-2 loss, fouled off three full-count pitches, then drove a pitch to center for his 18th home run of the season. Young sent the next pitch over the left-field wall for his 12th homer.
David Hernandez (2-2) pitched a perfect eighth, and J.J. Putz finished with a 1-2-3 ninth for his 14th consecutive save and 23rd in 27 chances overall.
