Mosquito Spraying
1) Does the City spray for mosquitos? If so, when?
Yes the City sprays for mosquitos typically twice per year, once prior to the 4th of July and once prior to the Mower Co. Fair.
2) How does the mosquito spraying work?
The City hires a contractor to complete a ground application with pickup trucks. The truck travels the city spraying a fog or fine mist that with the proper wind conditions will migrate or drift into backyards, parks and areas along waterways.

What's a Building Permit?admin2014-11-25T15:25:32+00:00
What's a Building Permit?
A building permit gives you legal permission to start construction of a building project in accordance with approved drawing and specifications.
What Good Does a Permit Do?admin2014-12-22T21:01:52+00:00
What Good Does a Permit Do?
Your home or business is an investment. If your construction project does not comply with the codes adopted by your community, the value of your investment could be reduced. Property insurers may not cover work done without permits and inspections. If you decide to sell a home or building that has had modifications without a permit, you may be required to tear down the addition, leave it unoccupied or do costly repairs. A property owner who can show that code requirements were strictly and consistently met–as demonstrated by a code official's carefully maintained records–has a strong ally if something happens to trigger a potentially destructive lawsuit. Your permit also allows the code official to protect the public by reducing the potential hazards of unsafe construction and ensuring public health, safety and welfare. By following code guidelines, your completed project will meet minimum standards of safety and will be less likely to cause injury to you, your family, your friends or future owners.
The Simple Permit Process
Talk to Your Local Code Official Your code official wants your project to be a success and will help you avoid potential problems that could cost you time and money. You will be asked some basic questions (What are you planning to do? Where?), advised of any requirements and, if necessary, referred to other departments for their approval. The code official will provide you with the resources and information needed for compliance with the applicable building codes. You will then receive an application for a building permit.
At this stage you will document the "Who, What, When, Where and How" of the job, along with any sketches or plans of the proposed work. Review Process In a brief amount of time, the code official will review your plans and determine if your project is in compliance with local requirements. If your plans meet these requirements, a permit is issued. If not, the code official may suggest solutions to help correct the problem.
In a brief amount of time, the code official will review your plans and determine if your project is in compliance with local requirements. If your plans meet these requirements, a permit is issued. If not, the code official may suggest solutions to help correct the problem.
Receive Permit
Now that you have been approved for a permit, you have legal permission to start construction. A fee, based on the size of the job, is collected to cover the cost of the application, the review and the inspection process. An experienced code official is available to you should you have any questions concerning your project. You should consider your code official as an ally who will help you make your project a success. Normally, separate permits are required for electrical, plumbing, and heating or air-conditioning work.
Job-site Visits
On-site inspections will be required to make certain the work conforms to the permit, local codes and plans. Again, you will have access to the expertise of the code official to help you with questions or concerns regarding the project and to ward off potentially costly mistakes. The code official will let you know approximately how many inspections may be needed for your project. Usually, a one- or two-day notice is needed when requesting visits.
The code official will provide documentation when construction is complete and code compliance is determined. You will then have the personal satisfaction of a job done right. Enjoy your new surroundings with the peace of mind and the knowledge that they meet the safety standards in your community.

should read as follows:
10.13 GRASS AND WEEDS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY.
Subd. 1. It is unlawful for any owner, occupant or agent of any lot or parcel of land in the city to allow any noxious weeds as defined in Minnesota Statutes Sections 18.77 and 21.72 or grass growing upon any such lot or parcel of land to grow to a greater height than 8 inches. The following areas and types of vegetation are exempted from this provision if managed in a manner so as not to become infested with weeds or to create a stagnant, foul-smelling condition;
a. non-noxious weeds and grass vegetation in wetland areas;
b. non-noxious weeds, grasses and herbaceous vegetation within 50' of designated storm water ponds or within 50' of natural or altered creeks, rivers and stream corridors, including riparian buffer strips, that convey water, provided they are cut to less than 10 inches at least once per year if located within 200' of an occupied residence or developed property;
c. non-noxious weed and grass vegetation growing on land that has been agriculturally zoned land or has a history of being ag land, including pastures, that are fenced and contain animals, provided that a buffer zone of 10 feet between the ag land and any turf grass area will be required;
d. temporary erosion control grasses;
e. maintained and weeded prairie, meadow or natural landscape vegetation that does not contain noxious weed growth and that includes the cultivation of native grasses indigenous to Minnesota provided that the property owner applies for and is issued a natural landscape permit, and maintains the property in a condition sufficient to maintain the permit. Natural landscape permits are required if a proposed landscape includes native grasses that exceed or are expected to exceed 8 inches in overall height. Natural landscape permit applications shall be submitted to the Park Department. No natural landscape permits will be issued unless the following requirements are fulfilled by the owner;
They are set back not less than twenty feet from the front lot line. For the purposes of this ordinance, corner lots shall be deemed to have two front yards;
They are set back not less than five feet from the side and/or rear lot lines to provide a transition zone.

The Native Plant Landscape Area is cut at least once annually between April 15 and July 15 to a height no greater than ten (10) inches;
Turf grass is eliminated and the native plants, trees and shrubs are planted through transplanting or seed by human or mechanical means. Soil erosion should be controlled while the ground is bare of plant growth that is sufficient to inhibit erosion and is the sole responsibility of the owner or occupant;
Written authorization from the City Administrator or his/her designee is obtained for work within conservation or scenic easement areas, including planting, mowing or cutting.
A violation of any of the requirements set forth above will result in the revocation of the natural landscape permit by the City.

Subd. 2. If any such owner, occupant or agent fails to comply with this height limitation and after notice given by the designated weed inspector, has not within seven days of such notice complied, the city shall cause such weeds or grass to be cut and the expenses thus incurred shall be a lien upon such real estate. The City Clerk shall certify to the County Auditor of Mower County, a statement of the amount of the cost incurred by the city.

This Is Us 5.09: "The Ride"
"That's where you and Tess and your mom come in. You are my branches. You are the start of my family tree."
– Randall
It was a big day across the Pearson clan's history in this week's episode. We got to see every member of the family bringing home a baby (or two or three). In the past, we see a wary Jack and Rebecca get ready to take their three newborns home after four days in the hospital (and after apparently Rebecca had a c-section. They look woefully unprepared. Jack hasn't even installed the car seats and he installed them backwards (although by today's standards, he was putting them in correctly by having them face backwards). A security guard points out he's putting them I wrong and then asks why Jack has three of them. Later, on the drive home, Rebeca wishes she could sit in the backseat with the babies because turning hurts her stitches (girl I feel you on that so much). They end up pulling into a gas station (babies screaming their heads off) when another driver cuts them off. Jack kind of loses his mind on the guy but Rebecca pulls him back from the brink. He does end up getting a little bottle of whisky and some mints to hide it before getting back into the car. He does then suggest Rebecca drive so he can watch the babies. By the time they get home, all three babies have fallen asleep and they sit in the car until the babies wake up. Jack admits his drinking and they both worry they aren't going to be good parents before reassuring each other that they will be fine. We even get a montage of the family car as their lives unfold.
In the not-so-distant past, we find Randall and Beth bringing home Annie from the hospital. Randall is thrilled that she has his eyes because as he points out during a trip to Dairy Queen (Beth's request for after the birth), he never had that sort of connection with his parents. He did a family tree in school but they weren't his branches. He thinks now he has a chance to have that sort of connection through his daughters. And he tells Beth he's thinking about another kid already (I agree with Beth, that soon after, don't even mention it), because he wants that connection. I think he's happy with Deja as their third child and I'm sure he's going to be even more thrilled in the future.
Speaking of, we find a young woman in her residency and she's doing her labor and delivery rotation. She bails and ends up in a car with her sister who gives her a gift. The doctor-in-training is pregnant. I knew pretty quickly that it was adult Annie and Deja by their mannerisms and speech patterns. Plus the casting is so spot on for this show. They're heading up to join the rest of the family at the house to say goodbye to Rebecca. Randall is thrilled to have all three of his girls there and just as the episode ends, we see another car pull up so I'm thinking we're going to find out soon whether Kate is still around. I really hope we get to see more of the flash forward storyline in the coming episodes.
In the present, Kate and Kevin's respective trips home with their kids don't go as they hoped either. For Kate, Ellie admits on the car ride home that she doesn't want to do the open adoption. She can't handle it. Kate is hurt by this but Toby assures her that they'll figure it out because as he says, Kate is unflappable. Which is good because he just got laid off. Oof. Right when you've got a new baby (I can so feel that, too). Kevin, on the other hand, is dealing with annoying fans and the paparazzi. First, when Kev is trying to get the car seats into the car, a fan keeps snapping pictures. Kevin lashes out at him and the guy kind of apologies. He sympathizes with Kevin about his kids and Kevin eventually takes a picture with him. Later, on their drive home, Kevin notices another car following them. I bet that fan blew the whistle. Kevin loses his mind when he pulls over and so does the guy (who just keeps snapping pictures). It was very reminiscent of Jack's behavior on the way home forty years earlier. And like then, it takes the woman to diffuse the situation. She does promise to call the guy to let him know when Kevin goes running. I'm kind of hoping she lies to him. She ends up driving home and Kevin has a dream where Jack gets the babies to calm down. Jack tells Kevin not to be so terrified that he's not going to live up to Jack. They have both spent a lot of time being terrified of being (or not being) their dads. It's time for Kevin to figure out what he wants. And he decides he really does want to marry Madison.
This episode didn't make me cry last week's did (and that was a lot of tears). But I enjoyed seeing the family starting out on this journey. It reminded me of our trip home with our son and all the related worry that comes along with having a new little human that is solely dependent on you. I honestly couldn't imagine handling two or three at once (babysitting a pair of twins was enough thank you). It's also hard to believe we are already halfway through the season with only one more confirmed after that. We've got 27 episodes left right now and that doesn't seem like nearly enough time to tell all the stories that are left to tell. Adult Jack, Hailey and the next generation? Miguel and Rebecca's reconnection (and Miguel's background in general). Wrapping up the future with Rebecca's death. It just doesn't feel like it's enough time to say goodbye to this family that has become such an important part of so many of our lives.

Life and Art with Glamma Fabulous: A Bling Bracelet to Die For!!!
So I have been collecting broken vintage and new jewelry for a while and finally felt like I had enough to make this bracelet. I started off with an empty tape tube. I cut a piece out so that it was a standard bracelet size, taped it back together and then wrapped it with black ribbon. I glued the outside of the bracelet and ribbon so that there would not be a "give" when I glued the "bling" on.
I used E6000 glue. Some of the jewels were my Grandmother Bochman's and some were $1 store and thrift store finds. A few of the jewels are from the bridal section at Hobby Lobby when they were 1/2 off. This bracelet is HEAVY!!! But I LOVE it and can't wait to wear it.
I would like to be with you when you wear it and are THE most popular girl in school!

The UGA Opera Theatre presents Fall Opera Gala, Bel Canto
The University of Georgia Opera Theatre will be presenting a Gala concert of highlights from ten different operas by the greatest composers of Bel Canto era music, including Donizetti, Rossini, and Bellini. The performance will take place on October 18th and 19th at 7:30 pm in Hodgson Concert Hall. The era of Bel Canto, which translates to "Beautiful Singing," was a style of singing and composing from the early decades of the 19th century. This style of singing and music is still a primary focus of opera companies world-wide.
The concert will be a major collaboration of three large Music School organizations, UGA Opera Theatre, UGA Symphony Orchestra, and the Hodgson Singers. There will be twelve soloists singing arias, duets, quartets, quintets, and ensembles of some of this era's most beautiful music. The decision to choosing this program, according to Frederick Burchinal, the Wyatt and Margaret Anderson Professorship in the Arts, was to offer "our student singers the opportunity to learn and perform these great operas and the style of singing and to bring to our audiences this "sample platter" of operas that our limited resources and facilities prevents us from offering as complete operas."
"The Opera Theatre wishes to bring to Athens the widest variety of music to inspire the listener to learn more about this era as we did last year with the VIVA VERDI GALA where nine different Verdi operas were presented," says Burchinal. The Opera Department, which includes International Opera Coach Kathryn Wright, decided on the Bel Canto era of music for the October opera because of its focus on the singers' skills and technical prowess above all. The singers of the time were able to "showoff" with their abilities with long dramatic cadenzas, an abundance of upper range notes, long florid legato phrases, rapid fire runs, extended trills and embellishments, and extreme dynamic contrasts. All of these aspects make the operatic selections in the Fall UGA Opera Theatre performance so exciting.
Audiences are in good hands with Professor Burchinal's creative decisions. He came to UGA in 2006 while continuing his International career, along with continuing performances with the Metropolitan Opera as a leading baritone. "I came to UGA to pass on the legacy, skills and love of opera to all the hopeful singers who wish to have the same amazing experiences that I enjoyed during my career," he says. He has succeeded in building an opera program at UGA that assists students in obtaining the skills needed to pursue their own careers. The UGA Opera Theatre program also continues each year would bring to the Athens community the opportunity to enjoy opera performances of the highest quality.
The UGA Opera Theatre strives to bring great singing and music to the opera-lovers in the audience, as well as to those audience members who are wishing to discover what opera is all about. Tickets for the performance are $20 for adults and $6 for students and can be purchased by calling 706-542-4400, online by visiting pac.uga.edu, or by visiting the Performing Arts Center Box Office. For those unable to attend, the opera performance will be streamed on the Hugh Hodgson School of Music's website at music.uga.edu/live-streaming.

After a company or municipal government has sold a bond, it is obligated to pay interest on the bond until the bond matures, which may be for many years. Some bonds include a callable or redeemable feature that lets the issuer pay off the bond without waiting for the maturity date. Often the call provision requires the bond to be redeemed at higher value than the face amount.
When a company issues a long-term bond, it is making a commitment to regularly pay the stated interest on that bond until the bond reaches maturity and the face value is paid out to the investor. With a longer term bond maturing in 20 or 30 years, the issuer may want to give itself a way to pay off the bonds early. A call or redemption feature will be included in the bond prospectus to allow the issuer to redeem the bonds at an earlier date. The redemption feature gives the issuer flexibility that could be a detriment to investors who own the bonds.
In many cases, the call or redemption feature on a bond requires the issuer to pay a "premium" to the face value if it exercises the redemption option. For example, a 20-year bond may be callable after five years with a redemption value of 105. Bond prices are quoted as a percentage of the face value, so if this bond was redeemed, an investor with a $100,000 face value bond would have receive a premium redemption value of $105,000. The premium redemption is a provision of the bond and the issuer cannot offer a lower price.
The usual reason for an early call is because the issuer is paying a high rate of interest, and if the bonds are redeemed, new bonds can be sold at a lower rate. Investors will be required to give up their high-yield bonds and probably have to reinvest the proceeds at a lower rate. A premium price on a redeemed bond takes away some of the sting of having a high-rate bond called in by the issuer.
If your broker shows you a redeemable bond as a potential investment, the broker will quote a yield-to-call as well as the yield-to-maturity. The yield-to-call will include the added return from the premium call price. The bond should be evaluated on the lowest of the two yields, often referred to as the yield-to-worst, as in worst-case scenario. If you really need to have your money invested for a longer period, callable or redeemable bonds may not be the best investment choice.

Review: Modest Mouse Marks 25 years of The Lonesome Crowded West at a Packed Riviera Theatre
Julian Ramirez
Music, Reviews
When you're reaching 30 years as a band and you have as much in the tank as Modest Mouse, you should count yourself as lucky. While there have been elongated breaks between the last few releases, Modest Mouse is not about to start slipping. Last year's The Golden Casket reassured fans that Modest Mouse was still in that game and ready to deliver a great album. Every release is as anticipated as the last, but there is just something special about the tried and true favorites. Thankfully Modest Mouse know this and with the 25th anniversary of The Lonesome Crowded West, that meant a tour playing the album in its entirety was on!
The Lonesome Crowded West is one of those undeniable albums of the '90s, truly capturing a moment in time and making it feel everlasting. It's an album full of all the anxieties and the inevitable disillusionment we all face (and so many on the road/wanderlust metaphors) while shifting from gentle and sad sounds to pulse -ounding ragers. Last week at the Riviera Theatre, Modest Mouse reminded the packed crowd just how special that album continues to be.
Barring the encore and special VIP pre-show, the set stuck faithfully to The Lonesome Crowded West as promised. Seeing a full album, especially one as diverse and as enthralling as The Lonesome Crowded West is always a treat. There's just something about mixing the at-home experience of listening to a beloved album track list with the live show theatrics. Then when you take into account Isaac Brock's commanding stage presence that was on from the start, you have a show that was as relentless as it was cathartic. "Teeth Like God's Showshine" obviously kicked things off as Modest Mouse threw the diehard crowd headfirst into the show.
Despite knowing exactly where they were going next, Modest Mouse's set felt lively and special. There was a rush knowing that after the raw and rollicking "Doin' the Cockroach" and "Cowboy Dan" would be the heartbreaking "Trailer Trash." That three-song portion of the night that fell right in the middle of everything showcased just how eclectic and powering The Lonesome Crowded West is. The anger of a tiresome existence in "Doin' the Cockroach" and the feeling of futility in "Cowboy Dan" lead in wonderfully to the vulnerable "Trailer Trash." The line "And I guess that I miss you and I'm sorry if I dissed you" rang out with all the sadness it needed.
The same could be said about every song that evening. No song felt like it got the short end of the stick. instead every track felt like it got the exact amount of vigor it called for, both from Modest Mouse and the excited crowd. "Out of Gas" and its chant-like cadence had the crowd mesmerized. The rapid fire rage of "Shit Luck" was coupled with flashing lights and audience members letting their frustration out, screaming along. Brock's dark ode to depression "Polar Opposites" echoed along with the Riviera during its labored chorus "I'm tryin', I'm tryin' to drink away the part of the day that I cannot sleep away."
The show came to a close with a three-song encore that took a little side tour of Modest Mouse's catalog. A cover of The Flaming Lips ("Five Stop Mother Superior Rain"), a current tour staple but rarely played before "Edit the Sad Parts," and an older but perennial classic in "Night on the Sun." It was a nice little cherry on top of the evening and even if the band had played some more of their hits throughout the night, I still think the heart of the show would have the enduring quality of The Lonesome Crowded West.

It's all in self-defence
By Jonathan Green
Friends, 1969 November 22
Surrounded by The Business, eating through all the courses of a 'luncheon', gradually accumulating more and more different varieties of food and drink inside – it's hardly the ideal place for an interview. Especially if the interview is with iconoclast supreme – Frank Zappa.
Zappa has earned, or perhaps had foisted on him, the reputation as the King of Freaks. Yet his conversation, in marked contrast to his friend Captain Beefheart, is remarkably earth bound for one who the Captain has described as a Martian.
For a start, Zappa is an amazing businessman; he doesn't disdain the non-musical side of pop, in the way that many rock artists do. His current visit, with Beefheart, to England was for the sole purpose of concluding a deal between CBS and his label 'Straight'.
Unfortunately for our conversation, Zappa was beset by the hordes. In what was laughingly called 'The Clinic' he and the Captain were supposed to entertain the ranks of press, business and so on, who poured, apparently without a break, into the interview area.
We talked roughly from the steak to the brandy. And then it was too late to continue. Urgent hands and voices grabbed at the 'stars' and the show went on. What comes below is the Rolling Stone portion of the Clinic.
Dr. Z prescribes a mean script ...
There were this group of people from Paris who put the shit on this festival mainly because they were scared to death of having large numbers in that city. So these guys who wanted to put the festival on just refused to quit and they finally wound up choosing a cow pasture about two hours out of Brussels. A lot of fog and I guess it must have been twenty or thirty degrees out there, it was really miserable, a few tents and the people began to turn up from nowhere and they turned on the PA and that worked, and they turned on the lights and they worked, and the groups actually began to play and by God they had a pop festival. And then they looked at it and realised that they had to keep on for five days. I was asked to join the festival. They first of all asked for the Mothers to play but there weren't any Mothers at that time, so Pierre Lotez, who I had known for some time, asked me to co-host the festival, but when I arrived there I found that most of the people spoke French and they wouldn't know what the fuck I was talking about so it was useless for me to introduce the groups. So Pierre suggested that I might play with some of the groups. But I was at a great disadvantage because I didn't have my own guitar and I had to use other people's guitars and the amps that were around for everyone at the festival to use and they kept blowing up and fucking up and on top of that some of the groups found it a little difficult to relate to what I was playing. Cause, if you have a group that has certain arrangements and sets that they play every night it's difficult to stick in an alien element that isn't part of the set up. The audience and the reviewer forget about those variables-perhaps seeming a little anxious to prove that I was a crappy guitar player.
First of all there is a wider and larger void (void is exactly the word) between what I play on the guitar and what I write on paper. The intent is basically different. When I get a guitar in my hands what I want to express is what I'm thinking right at that moment, the chord progression that happens to be going by, and eighty per cent of the time I can manage to project what is happening. I'm a composer who plays the guitar, not a guitar player who is out there doing his reputation on the thing and my intent to what I'm trying to do on the instrument involve not just the individual notes but the overall sound of what I'm doing. So wide with so much inside and narrowing down so ... and it's like drawing pictures with it. I try to keep it as spontaneous as possible. I'm really limited when I'm handed a guitar with strings an inch off the finger board designed that way to suit another guitar player's hands. And being plugged into an amplifier that decided not to work the minute you turn your switch on. That gives you a bit of a problem. The rest of the music, the written stuff romantic, rhythmic, exploring not just weird time signatures but polyrhythmic combinations where you can take a bar of 3/4 and ordinarily in that bar of 3/4 you have six eighth notes and I jam things like five eighth notes in the space of four, and five sixteenth notes in the remaining part of the bar. That's for one instrument. For another instrument you have five eighth notes in the space of six eighth notes overlapping the whole thing. This causes some problems sometimes 'cos a lot of musicians don't play those fives convincingly. I found that even among some of the best studio players in LA they see a group of notes with a five over the top and they freak off. And they guess at where they fall and don't really count it out.
(The 'Classical Heads' concert ...)
How cute. The pop classical gap should definitely be bridged but it should be done honestly. Not like slapping a few stringed instruments behind an electric band and having them play a few unison riffs together and following that by some low grade rock and roll, bouncing the two back and forth, and calling it bridging the gap. He should be paying more attention to the works of the modern composers. I see my music as moving towards modern serious music. There were some things on the 'Freak Out!' album, primitive as that was, that were quite contemporary, could stand on their own ... Packaged in a way that would reach a young audience.
The most important part of the progression of the Mothers of Invention was the development of the technical skills of the members. The things we perform among even on our most recent albums were written years ago. And the only reason they weren't performed before is they had to wait till the musicians could actually perform them. The big trend today is toward instrumental music. Finding out all the players that all they were strumming out backing for vocalists can actually play something worthwhile on their instruments. Most of the new orchestra scores are written in pencil in planes, airports and holiday inns. I carry in my briefcase all the things I need to write. I haven't heard most of the music, and I really would like to hear what it sounds like and get on and write some more. Right now we are in the process of trying to figure out who will perform it. If it goes well our little plan would be to get an existing London orchestra to play it. If that doesn't work then I'd have to put together an orchestra of studio players which might not be as tight as an existing orchestra.
My business interests are self-defence. Nothing reprehensible about being paid for doing something you like. I don't like the idea of being a musician because you love music and then having to support yourself by working on a gas station in the day time. I would as soon be paid for the work I like to do. If I am conscientious enough about the work I like to do. I hope I don't have to go out and get a job. Refusal to deal with business is taking it awfully seriously. To say that I'm such an artist is stupid. The thing that pisses me off most about the public reception of the Mothers was the complete stupidity with which they viewed things that I thought were most obvious. The gags that we put on for the groups. People actually thought we were 'Only In It For The Money'. You see these guys on the cover of that album looking like a bunch of ragamuffins and the mere thought of that could possibly be trying to earn a living was an absurd joke. But everyone started to think – 'they' are not artistic they are only in it for the money'. I went 'Whaaat???' when I saw that reaction. I had a conversation on the phone with Paul McCartney about the time of that album and asked to do a parody of that cover. He was shocked and appalled that I would even talk business with him on the phone. 'We have these managers you mean you talk business'. The final outcome to the conversation was 'I can't say I'll ask the other members of the group' and blah and blah and after about six months holding it up it was finally settled with lawyers, their attorney eventually called MGM and said it.
I watch the politics in the States go by and gag over it once in a while. I get involved in it as much as I am an artist and I say what I like about the environment in which I produce my work. To get out in the street and wave a flag is a waste of time, definitely a non functional gesture. It doesn't alter any condition and if you want to be a hippy on the weekends and you want to be involved and don't have anything much to do – go to a demonstration. A lot of people misconstrued the early albums because they didn't see that I was criticising both sides of the fence. On one hand I have Bow Tie Daddy talking about this dude who drinks and goes home in his Lincoln, and then the discussion about the flower punks. And all that album did was alienate the flower punks. I haven't dropped the social stuff. Only the blatant stuff has gone. Political social stuff can exist on a non-vocal level. In a more subtle way. I don't want to carry on doing the same thing for ever.

WSAPC aims to provide a caring and positive environment where all are valued and supported through a personalised curriculum which challenges and inspires individuals to achieve their potential.
Here at West Sussex Alternative Provision College (WSAPC) we operate in 7 separate locations, strategically sited to offer educational provision across West Sussex.
The college was formed in April 2013 and is led by me, Doug Thomas, Head Teacher and two deputies Ben Thomas and Helen Ellis. We work closely with the Governing Body, and in partnership with West Sussex schools and professional agencies. We provide appropriate primary and secondary learning provision for a range of vulnerable and challenging students.
We provide the equivalent of 292 full time places for children and young people from West Sussex who have been permanently excluded, those at risk of exclusion and those out of school for medical reasons.
All our Centres offer educational programmes for young people. Additionally, our Blended Learning Team offers educational support in a child's home, providing personalized learning packages suitable to the circumstances and needs of the young person. Our Inclusion Team works with our colleagues in mainstream schools, to help support and develop educational strategies for children presenting with challenging behaviour and who are consequently at risk of exclusion.
At WSAPC we strive to give our pupils a fresh approach to learning in our alternative provision setting. We encourage our pupils to continue their educational progress both within the time they are with us and when they are ready to move on to other schools and establishments.
We firmly believe that education is a lifelong process and acknowledge that there may have been obstacles and past events that have blocked our pupils' educational progress. With this in mind, we recognise that we need to address both the social and emotional needs of our pupils alongside and in conjunction with their educational needs.
We look forward at all times, confronting the obstacles to learning and then moving on and planning for a positive future.
I would like to welcome you all to our school and to say that whether you are a pupil, a parent/carer or someone who would like to visit us, you are most welcome and do hope that your experience reflects what all of us feel about working at WSAPC.

Introducing Mr Controversial
It's all in the name for Mr Controversial's debut collection at the Artmarket Gallery. We're thrilled to be welcoming Mr Controversial to our portfolio of artists with his fearless, satirical and controversial artistry.
Standing out from the crowd, his pieces will catch you by surprise in awe, shock and relatability. By poking fun at the typical millennial, his categorically hilarious one liners will steal your attention by mimicking of our twenty-first century digital age.
The core of the collection is the 1950s inspired vintage pulp fiction, finished with captivating, thought provoking captions concerning the digital age of dating, flamboyancy and our constant battle of emotions and sarcasm. Mr Controversial's artwork is seriously hot and this collection is not to be missed; register your interest to make sure you get to see these pieces first at the Artmarket Gallery: Register Now.
Find out more about his style, the upcoming release and his take on the world.
Tell us, what's the inspiration behind your work?
"I am really inspired by pulp imagery, vintage Hollywood and Instagram memes (not what your typical artist would say). I want to revive this vintage imagery and make it relatable by putting my own controversial twist on it in order resonate with a modern day art collector. I am always on the hunt for vintage photography, film posters, books and I can't wait to get my hands on them so I can transform them into something completely new with a whole different message. I trawl the internet and car boot sales to find stuff from house clearances that are destined for recycling or landfill. I like to think I rescue this stuff and bring it back to life, giving it new meaning in a new world. Taking it from analogue to digital. I guess I'm also deeply inspired to bring old stuff back to life.
In a broader sense, I draw inspiration from my own life experience, the way social media has completely reimagined and impacted the way we live our lives and inspirational, bold characters from a range of different fields who have left their mark in the world. A few people who have made a significant impact on my world and creativity are: Robert Mcginnis, Andy Warhol, Jack Johnson (the first black heavyweight champ), Ali, Phil Knight (the founder of Nike), Eartha Kitt, Dave Chappelle and a few more. They inspire me because they were unapologetic in their approach and relentless in their work ethic. They achieved great things despite starting with so little and made an impact on the world."
What's the message behind your work? How do you want people to react to the 'controversy'?
"I love that controversy makes people talk, the reason they talk is because they feel something about what they've just seen. Something so powerful that it evoked a reaction and forced them to think. I want people to do the same when they see my work, whether it's subversive, contains a satirical or outrageous quote, includes a sexualised image… if I made them stop, think and feel something then I'm happy."
Mr Controversial makes the mundane life extraordinary and hilariously absurd. Since the rise of social media, our lives have changed. Mr Controversial finds humour in the platforms that channel how we live our lives. He is relentless for who he offends, and is here to leave a mark on the art sphere.
What's the process, where do your ideas come from and then how are they taken from idea to art!
"I like to think of myself as a combination of a collage artist meets oil painter. My work is mixed media and I pull elements from loads of different places and mash them together.
I spend hours hunting down vintage memorabilia, photographs, film posters, books on the web or at car boot sales. From that old photo I spend many more hours wrestling with concepts, ways I can make it different, how I can put a controversial twist on it and how I can incorporate all the stuff that's been swirling around in my mind over the past few months.
I eavesdrop on conversations, I read a lot and I browse through Instagram and chuckle at #MillennialProblems, Love Island, wannabe celebs, memes that make me think 'FML that's so true'. I sniff out content that has got a lot of engagement and deconstruct it to see why it was so compelling, potent and shareable. I take the best parts from this and incorporate it with the concept I have on the boil. I'll then mock things up on Photoshop, print stuff off and oil paint the hell out of it. I create versions and versions of it till I find something I'm happy with.
When I've finished a piece I think 'Wow, that's cool' then I store it away for a few months – never to be seen. When I do come across it again while digging for my car insurance renewal or something like that, I see if it still has an impact on me and if it does, I share it with my audience. Most of the time my followers snap it up before it's advertised for sale which is great as it shows I'm on to something. I have a great bunch of collectors who own some incredible Warhol's, Bradley Theodore's, Connor Brothers' pieces, Basquiat's, who are really engaged with my brand and my art, so stuff rarely stays on the shelf. To be honest, I'm just glad people love my whacky ideas…"
What should we expect with your debut collection with Wishbone Publishing?
"I've been working on my second collection for the past few months now and I am so excited to have teamed up with Wishbone to really give it the amplification it deserves.
It's a blend of unique characters married with satirical quotes and my signature mixed media oil painting style. Some of it is 'tongue in cheek', suggestive and a bit bold, dark, edgy but as long as I made you stop and think for a few seconds I'm satisfied I've done my job as a creative – whether you like it or not. After the success of my first collection, I am so pleased to be rolling out my new collection with Wishbone. We've worked tirelessly together on everything from beautiful framing to print quality, collectability and limited editions…and it's especially exciting to know that my work will be in the Artmarket Gallery!"
Why the anonymity?
"Initially I wanted to stay anonymous because "art" was something weird I did working alone for months, failing, learning, finding my style. My love for art forced me to become a bit of a recluse who barely shaved and only left the house for paint supplies and tea bags. Initially I didn't want to put my name to it, I wanted the art to speak for itself, not be judged by who created it. I didn't even want my co-workers or close friends to know. Since my work has been so well received since I launched this year I am proud to say I am an artist and this is my thing. I've decided to hold onto the anonymity because It makes me feel like (a rather s***e version of) Banksy."
Which is your favourite piece from the new collection?
"I have a few. That's really hard for me to say as I, like other creatives are so critical of their own work. My top three are 'Sin or spend the night alone', 'If my mouth doesn't say it' and 'Leave me alone'. I think they are really bold, powerful and feature strong females who don't take any crap! Like me (well sort of, I'm male. The name kind of gives that away)."
Anywho, stay tuned for the release and thank you Artmarket readers!

By Wilfred Synrem (Chief Editor at KhelAdhikar)

The influx of legal jargons for the removal of panjandrums
By-Rishika Mendiratta (Founder and Managing Editor at KhelAdhikar)
Reagan once said, "Status quo is the mess we are in."
Sports administration is the backbone for the growth and development of the athletes, sports organizations, professional and semi- professional leagues. It provides the necessary impetus for changing the sporting performance of any nation. The love-hate relationship between sports and politics has been a media hot-potato since forever. Due to excessive politicization of sports there has been a detrimental effect to the overall progress of sports in our country. Consequently there is a retrenched resentment in the every Indian sports fan. This article elaborates upon the present system of governance and prospective policy and legislative changes that can be a harbinger of good times for Indian sports.
