The statistics are compiled as follows: The average age of each team as weighted by playing time is shown along the horizontal axis. The average age of each injured player comprising the Premier League Injury Table is shown along the vertical axis. The value in the current Premier League Injury Table is used for the relative size of each bubble.
All statistics are inclusive of Barclay's Premier League matches through 3 November, with injuries reported via The Physio Room at ~1100 GMT on 5 November.
* Note: Southampton have an injury age average (22.5) outside the chart range and are therefore not represented on the chart above.
The Premier League Injury Table can be found here, as well as in the sidebar.

Last week in an interview Cheif Marketing Officer of Microsoft, Chris Capossela on Windows Weekly podcast gave some insights on the company's work over the past one year, not only did but rather hinted that the company is working on a high-end handset. Talked about Windows 10 Mobile and the Windows 10 upgrade for those PC users who are still on Windows 7 and Win 8. Confirming that the company is owrking on a "breakthrough" phone that's the "spiritual equivalant" of the Surface tablet line, and tipped that "we need time to actually go build that". But he never referred to the new phone using the Surface or Surface Phone brand. However, the specificity of his comments appear to confirm that Microsoft is working on a new top-end handset seperate from the usual Lumia design.
With the hint of Capossela during the interview about Microsoft might be working on a 'Surface' branded smartphone, but also asked for patience from interested users. Although we got nothing regardinmg the much-rumoured Surface Phone, a recent report suggests the handset in question will launch in the second-half of 2016. Siad to be powered by an Intel processor that is more powerful than recent Qualcomm offerings.
On the software front, Capossela acknowledged the lack of some mainstream and specialized apps, and the need to attract younger consumers to Windows Mobile, conceding that Snapchat, for instance, is key to this effort. He said getting a large install base is very critical for Microsoft, and that the company is hoping for the sort of adoption it saw with the Windows 10 upgrade for PCs and tablets.
The CMO further said that the company is still trying to push more and more users on Windows 10. This means that the "Get Windows 10" dialogue box will still appear on the computer screens of users. "We're willing to put up with some level of discomfort if we feel like we're getting more and more people to a safer, better operating system that's frankly better for everyone in the ecosystem… it's better for Intel, Dell, HP… our customers," he said in the interview.
Ultimately, Microsoft wants consumers to view updating their PCs in the same way they accept the latest software on their mobile devices. He noted, for instance, that peopple are "comfortable" with updating their Xbox, iPhone and Android devices.
Well, Microsoft's arch rival is Amazon when it comes to cloud-based solutions. He says that Google is far behind in the race and will obviously need to work hard to pivot from an ad-based revenue system, to being an enterprise cloud business. And Microsoft Azure now solidly in second.
For now this iw what we can expect and who knows about the future, it may be Microsoft coming up with a revolutionary device or Surface phone. Stay tuned to grab more information on a "breakthrough" Windows 10 powered phone.

So, it looks like I have become an accidental fare evader. There is a ticketing system called clip card (klippekort) over here where you get 10 trips for a price 1/3 less than that of the equivalent single tickets. There is a machine that you need to enter your clip card in, which will then clip and stamp your card.
Observe the figure. See how the top right of the card had been clipped? Well, that's the wrong end. The machine accepted the first two clips, but subsequent clips didn't work. Of course hindsight is a wonderful thing. Now that I think about it, it's kinda obvious. I mistakenly assumed that the trips will be recorded when the machine takes the whole card in. So when it only clipped the top end, I wondered if we had to record the details ourselves.
At the bottom is the proper clip, which counts down from 10 to 1. I think it would have been more obvious if the count was the other way around (number 1 at the bottom). But that's just me.
Anyway, I guess I am lucky that I wasn't caught by a ticket inspector. That would have been a DKK 750 fine!

SINGAPORE: Southern Anglican Leaders Open Fourth Meeting in Distress
By Edmond Chua
April 20, 2010
A historic gathering of worldwide Anglican leaders started yesterday at St. Andrew's Cathedral. But the fourth 'Anglican Global South to South Encounter' (GS4E) was already marked by intense feelings of distress.
The Anglican Global South, grouping 20 provinces in the southern hemisphere, represents three-quarters of the 75 million Anglicans around the world.
"My sisters and brothers from around the world, I am troubled, I am sad; in fact I am confused," said newly retired Nigerian Archbishop Peter J Akinola.
Speaking at the opening service, Bishop Akinola traced the recent history of the inability of the Anglican Communion to resolve its theological-ethical crisis.
Calls to two erring North American provinces to repent have all been ignored. The Episcopal Church (TEC) had ordained two openly gay bishops, one only recently. The Anglican Church of Canada had blessed same-sex unions.
Many provinces, in turn, declared themselves in 'impaired communion' and 'broken sacramental communion' with the two provinces. Nonetheless, the Communion at large has vetoed all calls for action for the past eight years, Akinola noted. Instead, the Church has resorted to administrative structures in its attempt to resolve matters.
The African bishop openly expressed his fears that an Anglican Covenant, which Global South leaders are expected to discuss at the meeting, would be another ineffective measure.
The signing of a covenant will not stop TEC from pursuing its own agenda. This is evident from the fact of its recent appointment of a lesbian as a bishop.
"The Communion is still unable to exercise discipline," said Akinola. "We lack the courage to call a spade a spade."
Furthermore there is no preventing TEC from signing the Covenant for political reasons and continuing to disregard the 'mind' of the Communion on human sexuality.
Even in the case that TEC does not sign it, the cutting of a covenant would not do any good for Anglican unity.
Akinola said: "If the churches in the Global South sign up, would they then become a new Communion?
"Wouldn't that further polarise the Church?"
The lack of repentance on the part of those provinces has also distracted the Communion from its real mission to make Christ known.
Akinola said: "We in the Global South cannot continue in this way. Yet, we see no light at the end of the tunnel.
"This Encounter must show us the way forward in all of this."
His successor Nicholas Okoh delivered the first thematic address in the evening expressing equal anguish mingled with indignation.
"Our identity as Anglicans now is, putting it mildly, confused and confusing," he said.
Archbishop Okoh called for self-examination and self-repentance.
Speaking in a loud, strict voice, he said: "We in the Global South and the Anglican Communion have sinned.
"We are deeply estranged one from the other. What we are doing is essentially outward and cosmetic. It lacks power and loyalty to God."
In closing, he emphasised the 'absolute' necessity for economic empowerment in the Global South.
Beyond the ethical dimension, the archbishop cited the danger of wealthier members buying the loyalty and compromise of poorer ones.
Okoh also warned of the adoption of another Gospel out of fear, an action he called 'treachery'.
Although the deity of Christ is 'increasingly' becoming offensive in some parts of the Communion, the early Church had witnessed in a pluralistic context.
"To deny these fundamentals is to abandon the way; it is apostasy; it is 'another Gospel', which is condemned in Scripture," he said.
Topics to be broached during the GS4E include Communion structures, missions and ministry and economic empowerment.
Besides the Global South leaders, GS4E is seeing the participation of four Western provinces. Special guests include the Chairman of the National Committee of the Three Self Patriotic Movement of the China Christian Church and a bishop of the Coptic Church.
Primates' (senior archbishops) meetings will be held concurrently with the GS4E.
The GS4E will conclude Friday afternoon.

Market Anarchy Graffiti
This was my project for the week. The hardest parts were macgyvering a flashlight projecter to blow up the stencils and getting the ladders to not tip over on the uneven river bottom. I only had to do commit a little trespassing to get it done!
I know Micha will think it's an improvement.
Nice work. Do you have digital files of the stencils you used that you'd be willing to share? It wouldn't be a lot of work to draft my own, obviously, but one less thing to do is always nice.
I just wrote them in word
I just wrote them in word with the stencillia font on transparency paper then projected them onto cardboard taped to a wall in my basement with a flashlight.
I hate you
I hate you because I hate graffitti.
A Legal and Economic
A Legal and Economic Analysis of Graffiti, by Daniel J. D'Amico and Walter Block (George Mason University and Loyola University New Orleans)
Abstract: A case for the de-criminalization of graffiti is made, based on the existence of an unjust government, and predicated on private property rights. A distinction is made between artistic trespass, or vandalism, on the one hand, which we claim can be undertaken only on private property, and, on the other, graffiti, which in our view can only occur on public property. If the government that claims ownership of the latter is an illicit one, then graffiti can reasonably be interpreted as a justified attack on it, or rebellion.
He said he trespassed
He said he trespassed so it's obviously not his own property. Sounds like vandalism to me. Most property owners aren't interested in putting graffiti on their buildings. I've never heard of murals or other forms of painting on ones own property referred to as graffitti. Mostly graffiti refers to the criminal kind, and mostly it's about communicating vanity. Graffiti is also about forcing communication on others when they don't want it.
Even when it's political, like the bastards who started spray painting up stop signs in my neighborhood with "Bush", it's vandalism. Yes they had a political message and no I didn't want to hear it. Especially since it lowers property values in the area because the second thing they are communicating is that there are malcontents in the area willing to destroy other peoples property.
It adds insult to injury when somebody who isn't willing to respect property rights communicates a political message to me. Who are they to tell me about what is and is not politically feasible when they are willing to violate so basic an issue.
Rent a billboard or an ad in the local paper if you want to advertise. Hell, you can even buy a piece of property to do so if you feel renting is more expensive than ownership. Thomas Paine did fine with his pamplets so I don't even see the need for visual pollution.
He said he trespassed so
He said he trespassed so it's obviously not his own property
Not necessarily, maybe he needed to trespass just to get there.
I doubt it
I have no problem with it if bought an old bridge support and is the owner. Then it's no different than a billboard. I very much doubt that's the case.
Graffiti is also about
Graffiti is also about forcing communication on others when they don't want it.
As opposed to billboards, right?
Especially since it lowers property values in the area
Lots of things lower (and increase) property values. That doesn't make them right or wrong.
Even when it's political, like the bastards who started spray painting up stop signs in my neighborhood with "Bush", it's vandalism.
Oh, boo fucking hoo. Take off your bowtie and chillax a little.
Good good bad
As opposed to billboards, right?
Good point.
Lots of things lower (and increase) property values.
Good point.
Oh, boo fucking hoo.
Not even a point.
"Graffiti is also about
"Graffiti is also about forcing communication on others when they don't want it."
"As opposed to billboards, right?"
Billboards don't force me with my own property.
Billboards can also be controlled by restrictive covenants, and other community means. They tend to be restricted in these ways. Graffitti knows no such boundaries because it's a criminal enterprise. It is in fact straight vandalism. So yes it is wrong. The specific property owners do not want it on their property.
There many other methods of restricting billboards. Like if you put a big sign pointing my way on your property I put one on mine that points your way. The reason it's controlled by this is simple reciprocity. The graffitti vandal just sprays his crap on both our properties. We don't even know who did it.
Last elections libertarian candidate refused to get a drivers license because apparently he didn't understand that private owners of private roads would also have required him to get some kind of license. Probably insurance too. They would likely also put up some signage. What they wouldn't do is want random people to paint up their property.
They especially would not want signage related to safety sprayed up.
Crime reducing property values is a very different thing than most other things that reduce property values.
I don't see where the "market" comes into "market anarchy" if you run around vandalizing other peoples property.
"Oh, boo fucking hoo. Take off your bowtie and chillax a little."
No. The fact they caught these two "grammar vigilantes" also brings tears to my eyes. In fact I think I had an orgasm at the same time.
I'd like to see the laws corrected for graffitti to make restitution a larger part of it. However I think that the risk of getting caught should be factored in. One way to empircally do that is to keep records of actual damage done over time and then make the few who get caught not only pay restitution to their actual victims but to all the other victims averaged over some time period.
So maybe you average damages over a running time period and assess the damages across all vandals who get caught during those periods. They pay a proportion of all damages in proportion to the actual damage caused by them.
Thus if only two vandals are caught. vandal A causes $1500 worth of damage, B $500, with community damages running at $10000 then vandal A would be forced to pay restitution of $7500 and B $2500.
They pay more restitution because there is an empirical measure of 1 in 5 of their being caught. That measure would vary over time. Factoring it up makes the odds fair between property owner and vandal, which it isn't right now. The odds under such a system are 1:1, not 5:1 in favor of the criminal.
Community damages would include physical damage, the cost of cleanup, costs of prosecution, any additional costs required to mitigate against graffitti like special coatings on signs, survellance cameras, etc.
All the victims would be payed recompense out of the funds for their damages.
If the graffitti artist vandals complain about having to pay for more damages than they actually caused we can then tell them "boo fucking hoo, you played the newer fair odds and lost".
BTW, I wouldn't go by what Walter Block has to say. I have his book, "Defending the Undefendable". His intention was to find things that most people regard as undefendable and find valid defenses for them. Which is great when the actual acts are defendable. Unfortunately, he picked a couple that are in fact undefendable.
Walter fails to take into account simple objections to his very often bizzare arguments. Several of his mistakes rest on his failure to understand that the particular crimes violate freedom of association. If I knowingly lie to you claiming as a fact that Jimmy sells tainted beef when he doesn't then that slander or libel is a fraud intended to distrupt both Jimmy and your freedom to associate. Same goes for yelling fire in a crowded room.
He also fails to take into account a reasonable person theory with regards to much of this. Sure there are some freaks who might enjoy being trampled at the exits by someone yelling fire but we certainly shouldn't need to explicitly add "don't yell fire" into contracts. The default should be the other way, and even if we did allow contracts with clauses that endangered people there are plenty of arguments for all sorts of controls on that, like requiring irrational garbage in contracts to be printed in red ink or something.
Even that under certain circumstances, disallowing such "freedom of contract" all together. Similar arguments to why we don't allow people to freely contract themselves into slavery.
Here's an example
Here's an example of a victim who's a farmer who owns some owns some land and has a constant stream of "Graffitti artists" aka. vandals that tresspass on his property and wreck it. He happens to own a nice rock outcropping overlooking the highway.
That link is a mapquest streetview image of a stretch along a highway. I've driven past there over the period of a decade and he is constantly having to whitewash over the graffitti there. This particular owner values whitewashed rocks above graffittied rocks. Since he didn't whitewash all the rocks he obviously values unwhitewashed rocks above whitewashed ones. The "market" of market anarchy has spoken.
I happen to think rock outcroppings look nice and it's probable that the land owner does too. Here is a rock outcropping that I used to own and I would be incredibly pissed if someone had tresspassed to put some graffitti up on it.
The prior owner of this piece of property used to have a grape stake fence to mitigate noise from the road. It was constantly being graffitti up because it was easy access late at night. Mostly it was BS. He would clean and/or replace the fence to clear fix it up. He eventually sold.
However the new owners were asian and then they started getting a few racist "political" comments spray painted too. So they tore down the fence and put up bushes. Which lowered the value of the property to themselves.
Since they wanted the fence there before the graffitti they valued the property more with a fence than with bushes. Obviously free market forces has deemed that the most valuable use, not as signage for racist political messages.
Nice work! So thats not a stencil? Good effort...
I do hope it wasn't private property, though. Being a graffiti artist myself, I am always careful to only tag "public" (government) property, and not private property unless I have the owner's consent.

AudienceScience: What's In a Name?
Revenue Science changes its name, raising the question: will its services change?
Revenue Science changes its name, raising the question: will its services change?
One of the realities apparent to anybody who has worked in new media for awhile is that within a fairly short time things can change very dramatically. Not only do the technologies online marketers use to reach consumers change rapidly, but the business models companies put in place don't often meet set marketing goals a few years down the road.
While interactive marketing, behavioral targeting, search, video, and scores of new technologies are being put into place every day in an effort to more effectively communicate with consumers, there are no hard-and-fast rules. Some companies find amazing market traction with their ideas, while others fade away over time, often leaving behind only an understanding of what doesn't work.
Great ideas are important to any businesses success, but perhaps equally important is how well a company communicates the solutions they offer and how their products and services benefit their target consumers.
The veterans at behavioral targeting company Revenue Science made a decision a few months ago to break away from their old identity in favor of a new one. While it seems very risky to change the name of any company that already has great market success, a new name often does a better job at branding the benefits the company offers the marketplace and gives a better indication of what it does.
As a result, AudienceScience has emerged as a seemingly new player in the world of online behavioral targeting. But it brings with it an established foundation of technology, an understanding of the ad-serving and behavioral targeting markets, and the wisdom that comes with having built a strong behavioral targeting business from the ground up.
To better understand the motivation behind AudienceScience�s recent moniker update, I spent a little time with my friend Marla Schimke, AudienceScience�s vice president of marketing.
Rob Graham: Marla, it seems that things have been going very well for the company during the past few years. What prompted the name change for a company already well known in this industry?
Marla Schmike: As you're already aware, online advertising as an industry is continuously evolving and behavioral targeting as a discipline has changed pretty dramatically over the past few years. The methodologies that we can use to reach online consumers are more diverse and scalable than ever before. When we talk about reaching the right audience with the right message at the right time, we need to think about the tools that we will be offering in the future that unlock the true marketing power of the Internet. As Revenue Science we evolved along with the different disciplines. However, that name did not effectively convey our core value proposition anymore — which is that we help publishers and advertisers to find target audiences. Our new name communicates that mission.
RG: Did you feel that there was a risk in changing the name, even if it offered a more concise description of what the company did?
MS: We worked with analysts, customers, and our board of directors to get their feedback before making the decision on the new name. For us, 2007 and 2008 were turning points for display advertising and behavioral targeting, and we felt it was time to align our company's name with our vision. The feedback that we�ve gotten from our current clients has been very positive, and several have offered that it makes them feel positive and excited about the future.
The bottom line for AudienceScience is that we will still be offering our current level of behavioral targeting expertise and consumers; publishers and advertisers can still expect the same industry-leading targeting technology and advertising marketplace that we've always offered.
RG: So what does the future hold for AudienceScience?
MS: We are excited about some new partnerships that we have on the horizon, and we are also working very closely with the NAI and IAB to ensure that consumers are properly informed when it comes to [behavioral targeting] online. It is very important that people understand that in most cases, online advertising is keeping the Internet free. In order to keep the Internet free, people are going to get online ads. With [behavioral targeting], you get an ad that is interesting to you, thereby improving your online experience.
RG: Please keep me updated so I can share any new events with my readers.
MS: It will be my pleasure!

(Example: http://swz.salary.com/momsalarywizard/htmls/mswl_momcenter.html)
It's an absurd comparison designed to make stay at home moms feel justified. (Not saying I haven't been there, just saying its absurd!)
"Look!" they can shout to their husbands, who clearly aren't displaying adequate appreciation. "Since I put a band aid on little Steven's knee, that equates to two minutes of "nurse salary" which is whatever."
Or "I helped Susie with her spelling words for ten minutes, which is the equivalent of xx teacher pay."
Obviously that's ludicrous. If you are a stay at home mom and really want to find out what you are worth (cold hard cash, not snuggly kissy mommy currency), ask your husband how much life insurance he has on you.
Husband and I were discussing bills the other night and he mentioned he had paid both life insurance premiums. The kids were eager to know what life insurance was, so we explained.
Of course the next question was "Why do you have life insurance on MOM?" Rather than launch into a dissertation of the high cost of childcare and someone has to do your laundry and feed you, I said "Eh, dad will need money to woo your new mom." And with that … conversation over.
They say that a mom's salary is pathetic but the perks are fantastic. I'll totally agree with that!!
But at the end of the day, the financially wise among us will ensure BOTH parents.

Times are tough, and not every burgeoning entrepreneur can find space in his startup budget for schmancy high-rise office space. There are those who would cry about it, and then there's L.A. resident Reginald Banks -- who (allegedly) wasn't about to let his customers down just because he had no stupid overpriced hut under which to sell his wares.
Banks' (alleged) makeshift stakeout of choice? The men's public restroom at Jessie Owens Park in South Los Angeles, which sheriff's officials say he turned into an efficiently run, smooth-operatin' crack den for the community.
There's only one nifty office feature he forgot to make his own: the security cameras.
L.A. County sheriff's deputies reportedly spotted the 47-year-old man selling what they called "rock cocaine" and marijuana out of the very public, very kid-frequented bathroom at Owens Park. Or wash closet, if you prefer your drug dispensaries fancy...
According to City News Service:
Deputies had received complaints about a man selling narcotics at the county-operated park at 9651 S. Western Ave. so they set up surveillance of an area where people had witnessed drug sales.
Sergeant Don Rubio says the tape from inside the bathroom showed the suspect "acting as if the restroom was his office and he was conducting business."
Neat little packages of crack and pot were all lined up and ready for sale -- deputies caught the businessman red-handed -- and it must have been a good amount, because the suspect's bail is at $50,000.
Owens Park only has one review on Insider Pages, and it's nothing but glowing:

You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
"Great workers"? "Clean"? Hmm. Either the girl's a happy customer or Banks is that good at posing as a janitor. Sounds like it may have been "just the park" for a good recession-blurring toke.

Private Residence
Ocean Parks, California
Inspired by the client's love of the Sonoran desert, we transformed the outdoor of their recently remodeled coastal home into three distinct and usable rooms.
Streetside, the front yard was initially unusable due to the sloping terrain. A corten steel retaining wall was fabricated and installed to level this area. With an existing blank canvas, I wanted to convey a sense of the desert and worked to emulate that with a coastal palette of plants. I added a Chilean thornless mesquite tree to soften the façade of the house and provide privacy from the street for the children's bedroom. Wooly bush, kangaroo paw and drought tolerant plants play up color and texture and provide year-round interest, as well as attract birds. African boxwood on the same plane as the wood fence, contrasts with the stepped planes of the corten and concrete block walls and creates additional visual interest.
Between the back of the main house and garage is an outdoor entertainment room.

Tips for career-fair success
According to Lakeland Community College Career Services administrators, employers say they are most impressed with career-fair attendees who come prepared and:
• Dress like professionals who are ready to do business.
• Bring copies of their resumes.
• Research the companies ahead of time to show conscientiousness and knowledge about the organizations.
• Rehearse a one-minute "commercial" about their skills, experiences and accomplishments that would benefit the companies.
Lakeland Community College plans to hold its Fifth Annual Business and IT Career Fair on March 27, the school reports.
According to a Lakeland news release, the event will take place in A Building, Room A-2100 on the college's main campus, 7700 Clocktower Drive in Kirtland, and feature opportunities for full- and part-time employment and internships with a variety of area organizations.
"Job seekers will have the chance to meet many employers face to face, all in one day," the release reads. "Participants can submit resumes, speak with recruiters about their companies or simply obtain information about careers in business and information technology.
The release goes on to state that the event will feature business occupations ranging from marketing, management, human resources and accounting to finance, sales, real estate, customer service and office administration.
On the IT side, the college expects offerings to include jobs like support specialist, software developer, data analyst, web developer, network engineer and more.
Organizers expect more than 30 area companies to be in attendance March 27, including Avery Dennison, CardinalCommerce, Dollar Bank, IGS Energy, IntelliNet, the Ohio Department of Transportation, Robert Half, Sherwin-Williams, STERIS and University Hospitals, just to name a few.
Before Lakeland's last big job fair, Career Services Director Nancy White told The News-Herald everyone is encouraged to attend, even if individuals assume there might not be anything, career-wise, they'll be interested in at these events.
"We always tell people to come," she said prior to the Sept. 26 event. "Even if the specific jobs being offered don't appeal to them, they should just go to network. They could still get the word in to a company or possibly even get a contact name. So that networking value is definitely there."
White has said there are a number of employer "regulars," who have had success recruiting through this event in years past, along with a host of newcomers offering a range of positions, including professional and even management opportunities.
"(Attendees) can expect a wide variety of opportunities," White said.
The 5th Annual Business and IT Career Fair is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. March 27. It is free and not only open to current and former students, but to anyone throughout the communities Lakeland serves.
Visit careers.lakelandcc.edu or call 440-525-7722 for directions, a list of participating employers, available positions, links to the companies' websites and tips for job-fair success.

Manchester Highlands
- Size: 70 acres
- Value: $30 million
- Architect: TR,i Architects
- Owner: Pace Properties
Manchester Highlands is a 70-acre, $120 million retail development located at Highway 141 and Manchester Road in Manchester, MO. Brinkmann was tasked to reshape the challenging terrain that falls more than 100 feet from its high point on the north to Manchester Road on the south. To transform the sloping grade into level parcels for future retailers, the site required movement of 500,000 cubic yards of dirt and 40,000 cubic yards of solid rock – the equivalent of 54,000 large truckloads. Besides the sharp grade, the site involved relocating existing utilities including high-voltage electric lines, gas lines, and water mains.
The development is a 550,000-square-foot, three-tiered, shopping center anchored by Wal-Mart Supercenter, Costco Wholesale Club, Bed Bath & Beyond, and other major retailers. The Brinkmann team built the 44,586–square-foot Best Buy, 35,939-square-foot Bed Bath & Beyond, 10,767-square-foot ULTA, 27,000-square-foot PetSmart, and 35,277–square-foot Nordstrom Rack. To buffer the development from adjacent residential neighborhoods, the project features a 15-foot-high, 800-foot-long landscaped berm. Since the property location is one of the most highly trafficked intersections in West St. Louis County, Brinkmann improved accessibility by adding two lanes to Manchester Road in less than two weeks.

Members of the Sharpsburg Town Council agreed at a special meeting Thursday that they would prefer the rundown house the town recently bought on West Main Street to be restored and used as a residence.
The town bought the house at 135 W. Main St. at a tax sale in late June for $42,500.
"We bought it to make sure it was preserved and to make sure it doesn't become a business. We're a residential community," said Mayor George Kesler at the public meeting called to discuss uses for the house.
The house is known in town as the Mumma house because four sisters of that name lived there from 1930 to 1960, said Town Attorney Charles Wagaman.
Town residents said the house once contained the privately owned Antietam National Museum from at least the 1970s until about four years ago, when it became vacant.

I've been knitting since I was four years old. I clearly remember the day I sat down beside my mother who was knitting a sweater and I asked her to teach me. Ever since I can remember, I've always been awed and inspired by arts and crafts. And they've always consumed me with a hunger to learn. Luckily, my mother had the patience to teach me what she knew, and graciously supported me in the exploration of the things that she didn't.
As a child, I never knit anything other than two foot long Barbapapa-shaped scarves and clothing for my Barbies. I did start knitting sweaters for friends and family when I started my first Undergraduate Degree. Since then, knitting has been my excuse to just sit and relax, whether at a gathering with friends, in front of a television, a movie or during travel.
When I moved to Halifax for my Master's Degree, I experienced a never-ending chain of hardships: September 11th happened within a week of my arrival, my father fell ill the day I flew back after Christmas, Dalhousie University had a month-long Faculty strike, one of my roommates had a nervous breakdown, we lived in a filthy mouse-infested house, my car was broken into and it was the first time I lived away from home for an extended period of time. I desperately missed my friends and family.
While in Halifax, however, I discovered surfing (yes, in the North Atlantic!!!) and Briggs & Little wool. Made in New Brunswick, Briggs & Little wool comes in skeins of every color. And it was then that I started knitting insanely bright wool socks inspired by the colorful houses that line the Halifax streets, which I playfully called my 'ugly socks.'
During the eighteen months I spent in Halifax, I knit dozens of pairs of these ugly socks. I'd send them home to my family as a thank-you for that extra cash that mysteriously appeared in my checking account when things got bad, or well, just because, and to friends for birthdays and special occasions.
Since then, ugly socks have become my calling card. The minute anyone walks into my mother's country home, she holds up a large willow basket offering a choice of these bright socks to protect their feet against the cold of her tile floors. Highly coveted by my friends, they are my only creation that I will not sell. A pair of ugly socks is a gift. Nothing more, nothing less.

No Carve, No Waste, Pumpkin Decorating
It's estimated that 40% of the food grown in the U.S. is wasted. That's $165 billion dollars worth of food that ends up in our landfills each year, taking with it all the water, nutrients, labor and energy that was used to produce it.
These no-carve pumpkin decorations are stylish, simple to make and preserve the flesh of the pumpkin, so they can go from decoration to dessert with zero waste. Buy pie (aka: sugar) pumpkins instead of carving pumpkins for the sweetest, smoothest flesh. Uncarved and kept indoors, pumpkins can last up to three months.
If cooking pumpkins isn't your thing, they can also be composted. Don't have a backyard compost? Join SCARCE on Nov. 4th for the annual Pumpkin Smash (great fun for the kids), and they'll compost your gourds for you. Painted pumpkins are not compostable.

Home > KABOD > Vol. 3 > Iss. 1 (2016)
Article Title
A heated topic among philosophers and theologians alike is the relationship between faith and reason. While a theologian's concern is more often how to understand or define the relationship between faith and reason, an atheist is likely to question whether such a relationship can even exist. In other words, an atheist may question whether faith in God can even be considered reasonable—whether it is justifiable based on all the evidence to the contrary in the world (e.g. the problem of evil). One of the best known expressions of this doubt in the reasonableness of faith is expressed by Antony Flew in his essay "Theology and Falsification," which essentially argues that because a Christian's faith is not subject to being proven wrong by empirical evidence it is meaningless. This essay, after providing a brief biographical sketch, seeks to outline Flew's argument.

Kochu Thommen, J.
1. This case is governed by the Kerala Industrial Employees' Payment of Gratuity Act, 1970 (the 'Act') and the Kerala Industrial Employees' Payment of Gratuity Rules, 1970 (the 'rules'), The only question that is urged before me by the petitioner ('the 'employer') is as to whether or not the 3rd respondent (the 'employee') is entitled to gratutity as provided under the Act and the Rules. According to the employer no gratuity is payable to the employee by reason of the fact that he did not make an application for gratuity within the period prescribed under Section 7 read with Rule 4.
2. Before considering the question in the light of the relevant provisions of the law, I would refer to certain significant aspects of the background of this case. The employee was dismissed by the employer on 25-9-1965 on the basis of certain charges of misconduct. The dispute which arose as a result of the dismissal was referred to the Labour Court, Quilon. An award was passed by the court on 14-1-1969 directing reinstatement of the employee and payment of his backwages. The award was challenged by the employer in O.P. No. 2708,1969 which was dismissed by this Court on 14-9-1971. The employer's Writ Appeal W. A. No. 351/1971 was also dismissed by judgment dated 10-2-1972. Since the amount payable to the employee had not been paid he approached the Labour Court under Section 33C(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act for computation of the amounts payable to him. The was computed by the court by its order dated 1-7-1976. In the meantime, i.e. on 14-10-1970 the petitioner had retired from the service of the employer. Accordingly the petitioner filed an application before the employer for payment of gratuity in accordance with the Act and the Rules. This application was filed only on 27-8-1976. By the impugned order Ext. P. 3, the 1st respondent, the District Labour Officer, Malapuram, rejected the employer's objection urged on the ground of delay and ordered payment of gratuity. The employer filed an appeal before the Appellate Authority. It was dismissed by Ext. P 5. Exbits P 3 and P 5 are now challenged. As I stated earlier the only question which is urged before me by the employer's counsel is as to whether or not it was rightly held that the employee's application for payment of gratuity was not vitiated by reason of delay. The finding of the authorities below that the complaint of the employee filed before the Controlling Authority under Rule 6 was presented within time is not any longer challenged by the employer.
3 The Act provides for payment of gratuity to the employees in factories plantations and other establishments in the State. The establishment of the employer admittedly comes within the scope of the Act. Section 4 provides:
Payment of gratuity.-(1) Gratuity shall be payable to an employee -
(a) on his superannuation;
(b) on his retirement, resignation, retrenchment, discharge or dismissal from service after completion of a minimum period of five years of continuous service.. ... ... ... ...The retirement of the employee is an occasion which demands payment of gratuity. Section 7 prescribes the procedure for payment. It says:
Application for gratuity and procedure for payment.- (1) Any employee who is eligible for payment of gratuity under this Act shall send a written application to the employer within such time and in such form as may be prescribed.
(2) As soon as the amount of gratuity becomes payable the employer shall give notice in writing to the employee and the controlling authority specifying the amount and the employer shall arrange to pay the amount to the employee within such time as may be prescribed.
Sub-section (1) requires an employee who is eligible for payment of gratuity as provided under Section 4 to send a written application to the employer within the time prescribed. Sub-section (2) enjoins the employer to send a notice in writing to the employee and the controlling authority specifying the amount.
4. Rule 4 prescribes the time and the manner in which the employee's application has to be sent as required under Section 7(1). The employee has to apply within a period of 30 days before his retirement and such application has to be in Form III, This is what Rule 4 says:
Application for Gratuity : - (1) An employee who is eligible for payment of gratuity under the Act on his superannuation or retirement consequent on any event other than resignation, retrenchment, discharge or dismissal from service, shall within a period of thirty days before his superannuation or retirement as the case may be, send an application to the employer in Form III.
Rule 5 concerns procedure for payment of gratuity. It says:
Procedure for Gratuity.- (1) On receipt of an application under Rule 4, the employer shall determine the amount of gratuity payable to his employee or his nominee or nominees, as the case may be, and give notice in Form IV to the employee or his nominee or nominees and the controlling authority specifying the amount of gratuity and the employer shall arrange to pay the amount to the employee or his nominee or nominees, as the case may be under intimation to the controlling authority within thirty days from the date of receipt of the application under Rule 4.
Rule 5 would show that the employer's liability to send a notice under Section 7(2) specifying the amount of gratuity arises only upon receipt of an application from the employee under Rule 4. In the instant case counsel points out that the obligation of the employer to send the notice required under Section 7(2) did not arise for no application was received from the employee within the time prescribed under Rule 4(1). It is therefore contended that the employee is not entitled to receive gratuity in the instant case, and that the employer is entitled to appropriate the amount to himself.
5. The employee's application was not sent to the employer in time. To satisfy the rule the application ought to have been sent within 30 days prior to the date of retirement, which was on 14-10-1970. The question is whether the gratuity claimed by the employee can be denied to him for the reason that the application was received long past the date of retirement.
6. The object of the enactment is to confer a benefit upon the employee. Every employee who has put in the required number of years 5 years of continuous service-is entitled to payment of gratuity on his retirement. This right arises by virtue of Section 4. The procedure for the enforcement of that right is mentioned under Section 7. The manner and the time in which the application motioned under Section 7 has to be made is stated under Rule 4. The procedural provisions are meant to implement the substantive provision contained in Section 4. Ordinarily an employee who has failed to make an application in the manner prescribed cannot be heard to complain that gratuity has not been paid to him. The procedure laid down under the Act and the Rules must however be understood with reference to the legislative intent to confer a benefit upon the employee. The procedure has to be understood consistently with the legislative object stated in Section 4 as well as in the Preamble and other provisions of the Act. A recalcitrant employer by recourse to litigation cannot be allowed to evade gratuity on the technical ground that the employee, caught in the web of legal proceedings forced upon him by the employer, failed to file the application within time. The dates mentioned by me show that on the date of retirement the industrial dispute arising from the dismissal of the employee was pending. The award of the Labour Court was challenged by the employer in proceedings before this Court. Even after the proceedings ended, the employer was not minded to implement the award until the Labour Court was approached by the employee under Section 33C of the Industrial Disputes Act. It was only on 1-7-76 the court finally computed the amount. The amount computed by the court did not include the gratuity, for that question did not arise in that proceeding. It was thereafter that (he employee made the application for gratuity. Notwithstanding that application, the notice required under Section 7(2) was not issued by the emyloyer. It is true that the notice is to be issued in terms of Rule 5 only on receipt of an application under Rule 4. But Rule 5 has to be read harmoniously with Section 7 which says that the notice must be issued as soon as the amount of gratuity becomes payable. The amount became payable on the retirement of the employee. That is what is laid down under Section 4. If Section 7 is understood with reference to Section 4, the liability to compute the amount payable by an employer is squarely placed upon the employer as soon as the amount of gratuity becomes payable under Section 4, Although the employer cannot be found fault with for not giving the notice computing the amount payable as gratuity in the absence of an application, the employer cannot divest himself of his responsibility under the Act to pay the amount claimed as gratuity when such claim is made. To read Section 7(1) and Rule 4(1) as mandatory would be to defeat the legislative object The expression used in these provisions is 'shall', But these procedural provisions have to be understood, as stated by the Supreme Court in Motor Owner's Insurance Company Limited v. Jadavji Kesavji Modi and Ors. : [1982]1SCR860 , sympathetically and imaginatively, so that they operate consistently and harmoniously with the object of the enactment. If such purposive interpretation is adopted to understand the true meaning of the provision, 'shall' has to be read as 'may'. Section 7(1) and Rule 4(1) have to be then understood as directory and not mandatory. The result would be that while an employer cannot be penalised for failure to pay gratuity to an employee who has not made an application, the employer cannot refuse to comply with the demand for gratuity upon receipt of a proper application. An application presented by an employee can not be treated as improper, or rejected as invalid solely by reason of delay if the delay has not been deliberately or negligently caused by the employee and if there are justifiable grounds for condonation of the same. But an employee who negligently sleeps over his rights and chooses to file an application at any time of his choice cannot legitimately complain that he has been denied gratuity. The burden is upon the employee in such event to show that the delay has been caused by justifiable reasons. This would be the effect of reading Section 7(1) and Rule 4(1) as directory and not mandatory. In the circumstances, if the authorities under the Act were satisfied that the employee was justified in not filing the application under Section 7(1) within the time prescribed, it is open to them to condone the delay and allow the application to stand on its strength. This is what has been done by respondents 1 and 2. In the circumstances I see no ground to interfere with the impugned orders. The O.P. is dismissed. No costs.

Larviciding is a control strategy, which involves the use of materials and equipment to control the larval or immature stage of mosquito development. Since larvae are relatively contained and limited to specific aquatic habitats, larviciding is a high priority approach to the IMM plan. The primary material used for larval control is Bacillus thurigiensis israelensis (Bti), which is a bacterial agent that acts specifically on mosquito and blackfly larvae and is harmless to all other animal and plant life. The use of Bti is considered biological control, since the agent is a naturally occurring bacterial agent and is not a conventionally synthesized chemical. The material can be applied as either a granule or as a liquid.
Another bacterial agent used as a biological control is Bacillus sphaericus. This material is applied in the form of a granule and is especially effective against Culex mosquitoes. It is primarily used in the spring and fall.
Another non-conventional material used to treat mosquito larvae is methoprene, under the trade name Altosid. This material is considered to be a biorational product. Altosid is formulated either as a liquid, pellet or briquet. Methoprene is an insect juvenile hormone and acts to keep the mosquito larva from developing beyond its larva stage. The immature mosquito dies either as a larva or pupa and does not emerge as an adult.
The larvicide program is divided into three categories of general breeding habitats: (A) Marshland, (B) Woodland, Pastures, and Vacant Lots, and (C) Roadside Septic Ditches.
There are approximately 60 square miles of marshland along the southern border of the parish, which breed a variety of floodwater and permanent water mosquitoes. The most common species that breed in the marsh are Culex salinarius, Culex nigripalpus, and Anopheles crucians, which both produce about 16 generations a year. Culex salinarius is a competent vector for West Nile virus and St. Louis encephalitis and is the mosquito that bites at dusk and dawn. Extremely large numbers can be produced if left unchecked. Culex nigripalpus is a competent vector for St. Louis Encephalitis. Anopheles crucians can cause an extreme nuisance and will seek a blood meal throughout the night.
High tides and/or heavy rainfall following extended drought conditions will produce extremely large numbers of the salt marsh mosquito in many marshland locations. This mosquito is a primary vector for eastern equine encephalitis and will migrate as far as 20 miles from its breeding site in search of a blood meal.
The District has documented hundreds of marshland locations that breed mosquitoes. When mosquito breeding counts reach a specified threshold, as determined by analysis of inspection data, and depending on the species and size of area, larvicide treatments are performed by an agricultural fixed wing aircraft to reduce mosquito breeding. The aircraft can apply Bti as either a liquid or granule, depending on the circumstances. Evaluations of treatments have indicated excellent control with these applications. This allows the District to reduce the amount of use of conventional insecticides.
B. Woodland, Pastures, Vacant Lots
These sites are more inland from the marsh and in close proximity to area residents. Many of the sites are low areas in association with the Pearl, Tchefuncte, and Bogue Falaya River Basins. The primary means of control of floodwater mosquitoes that breed in swales, potholes, and depression areas filled with water, is by the use of Altosid XR Briquets (methoprene) which are about the size of a role of "lifesavers". The District has identified thousands of floodwater breeding sites throughout the parish. The briquets are applied in the early spring to known breeding sites as a pre-flood treatment or before larvae are present. When rainfall occurs and mosquito eggs hatch, the methoprene is slowly released from the briquets into the aquatic habitat and effectively kills the larvae. The briquets remain effective for about five months. A subsequent application is performed in the late summer or early fall.
This larvicide phase is directed at controlling the southern house mosquito, the primary vector for West Nile virus and St. Louis encephalitis. It is imperative that effective larval control be maintained in these areas, in order to reduce the potential risk for an outbreak of these diseases. Larvicide is the primary means of controlling this mosquito. To control and contain the breeding, the District owns and operates six modified right-hand drive trucks equipped with larvicide sprayers that apply the liquid formulation of Bti. The operation is a one-man process and is accomplished by an inspector driving on the shoulder of the road while treating the water in the ditch. Since the waste effluent from residential septic tanks and filter beds enters the ditches continuously, there is always optimum habitat for breeding, and the need for treatment is constant.
During peak breeding times, two additional trucks equipped with a granular formulation of Bti are used in addition to the five right-hand drive trucks that apply liquid Bti.

Disney's D23 Expo is just two weeks away and this morning they confirmed the details for the big "Live Action" panel on the second day of the convention.
As expected there's going to be a lot of Marvel stuff there this year and they'll have set pieces and props from Thor and Black Panther on display on the show floor. The Live Action panel traditionally shows the Disney stuff first, followed by a big Marvel blow out, and then one Lucasfilm movie. This year it looks like we're just getting The Last Jedi there and not Han Solo:
"While the films to be featured in Hall D23 will remain under wraps until showtime, the Studio's upcoming slate includes Pixar's Coco; Marvel Studios' Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther, and Avengers: Infinity War; Lucasfilm's Star Wars: The Last Jedi; Disney's A Wrinkle in Time and Mary Poppins Returns; Walt Disney Animation Studios' Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2; and more."
Disney, Marvel Studios & Lucasfilm – Live Action at The Walt Disney Studios
Saturday, July 15, 10:30 a.m. – Hall D23
The Walt Disney Studios is home to the biggest and most beloved brands in filmmaking today, with a number of highly anticipated projects from Disney, Marvel Studios, and Lucasfilm in the works. At this exclusive Hall D23 presentation featuring never-before-seen footage, surprise star appearances, and more, you'll get a behind-the-scenes glimpse at an exciting array of spectacular films on the horizon from these world-class studios. Cell phones, cameras, and all recording devices will be checked for this presentation.
At the 2015 D23 Expo they showed the first footage from Captain America: Civil War. As Infinity War will be nearly done filming the first movie by the time of the convention it sounds like we'll be seeing something there. Also it looks like this may be where the BTS thing for The Last Jedi will show up.
Traditionally what they show at D23 Expo does not see an online release, unless of course they re-show something at San Diego Comic Con a week later and then release it online. That could happen this year due to the two conventions being a week apart.

Why This Guy REFUSED To Be In The Secret
I just read this awesome report called "How to Make
Your Mind a Money Magnet". Get your copy here:
It's from Dr. Robert Anthony … and how about THIS
for integrity …
I heard this guy was invited to be in the Secret …
but flat-out refused! That's right, he turned down
masses of free publicity and untold fame. Probably
cost him millions.
Why did he refuse?
Well I heard, because he felt the hit movie missed
out one crucial piece of the puzzle. Sound familiar? 🙂
Of course, we hear that a lot these days, don't we? —
"the secret behind the secret". But Dr. Anthony clearly
felt very strongly that something REALLY WAS missing
from the typical "law of attraction" teaching.
So that was the inspiration behind Dr. Anthony's rapid
manifestation program "The Secret of Deliberate
Creation". I've been through the program and here's why
I think it's awesome …
It's one of the most thorough, comprehensive programs
on the law of attraction I have seen (and I've seen
a lot 🙂 ) What I like most about Dr Anthony's course
is that it destroys once and for all, people's over-
reliance on magical thinking. Check it out here:
There's a grounded-ness (is that a word?) in his work,
and a practicality taught in the program that the top
achievers in ANY field will tell you is ESSENTIAL for
massive success.
So if you're struggling to make the law of attraction work
for you, or you sense you may be missing something to make
it work, I HIGHLY recommend you take a good look at Dr
Anthony's program – "The Secret of Deliberate Creation".
Get all the details and order your copy here:
All the best!

Watched the DVD of Captain America. And it was pretty much what I thought it would be - okay, not great, almost good.
Took place during WWII, fighting Germans and their super weapons and the guy with the red head.
I suppose it should have impressed me more, but for some reason, it didn't. The action scenes were good, but it took almost an hour (it seemed) before the action started.
The best thing about the movie was Capt. Am's "girlfriend" Peggy Carter, played by Hayley Atwell, who I never heard of before the movie.
(Her photos on IMDb are here - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2017943/mediaindex )
The end was pretty good. But I won't say what it was in case you haven't see the movie yet.
I'd rate this 5 out of 10.

See the Light: The Music of NOMADELINE
I can fight my own battles, but I'd rather not//and I have no fear for tomorrow or at least I thought//I'm not one for wasting time I'm just trying to live my life right//oh, but if I'm patient I will see the light
On May 18, 2016 Madeline Becker of Sugar and Spice released her very first single See the Light under her musical persona: NOMADELINE. In her own words the song was written from a broken moment looking for hope.
From the moment the first string on the guitar begins telling us Madeline's story, the cosmic feeling that the song is meant to mend more than just Madeline's weary soul is evident. The message she so desperately wants to get across is that she's afraid and she's not. She knows where's she's going and yet she doesn't. She blindly follows her faith in her future and her faith in herself despite the fear and despite the inevitable number of struggles she may face.
With a Lumineers, folk vibe Madeline takes us on a beautiful lyrical journey through the eyes of a young woman who's far from found but full of strength. From her soothing tone that brings a sense of comfort, to her sense of her own influence, this isn't the end of her or her sound. Her ability to 'see the light' through the darkness in her life is inspiring. People need to be reminded of the ever present strength to be found in hope and in faith in ourselves. It is no doubt Madeline has the talent and the positive mindset to go further on this new adventure.
For Madeline, through her creative work she hopes to "use [her] gifts to be a light in this world and help people in anyway possible." If this song isn't proof that she's achieving her goal, I don't know what is.

If I'm not sitting in front of my laptop typing out the next great American novel then you'll probably find me curled up in bed devouring a book. I grew up in a ballet studio finding it best to express myself through the graceful movement. I'm currently trying to live up to Taylor Swift's ideal image of what 22 should look like while encouraging others to follow their dreams. A successful night for me is fulled with good food, laughter, conversations about everything and nothing, and did I mention food? I'm at my happiest singing along to my favorite songs with artists that inspire me, opening my heart up on stage and having meaningful conversations with good friends.

Good Judgement.
You know what to do. And you know what you need to do now and what you can do later. You know if it needs a bandage or a cure. And you know what's going to happen after you're done with it.
Creativity and Curiosity.
You're smart, but flexible. You're open to considering the other perspective, and sometimes you have the responsibility to come up with it. You don't just "do your thing". You're interested in how other people are doing "their things" too, and how all of those "things" can be done better.
You understand the people you work with are as important as you, and believe that what's good for the company and good for the project, are likely what's good for you too. You listen to what other people are saying and understand it. You can communicate well with others in writing and in person because you know you're not alone.
Courage, Passion, and Honesty.
You don't do something wrong simply because you "were told to" and aren't afraid to speak up respectfully when it's important. We want everything to be the best it can be, and you do too. You take risks and responsibility in proportional measure, and you're reliable. When you say it'll be done, it gets done, and when you said it would.

The Luverne girls' golf team edged Redwood Valley 200-202 to pick up their second conference win of the season Thursday in Redwood Falls.
Kenzie Mace secured medalist honors for the hosts after posting a 43, but it wasn't enough to knock off the Cardinal girls.
Makayla Sterrett and Hailey Remme led LHS by shooting 46- and 48-stroke rounds.

"If against our wishes and hopes, we are stuck with mortality, does mortality grant a beauty and grandeur all its own? Even though we struggle and howl against the brief flash of our lives, might we find something majestic in that brevity? Could there be a preciousness and value to existence stemming from the very fact of its temporary duration? And I think of the night-blooming cereus, a plant that looks like a leathery weed most of the year. But for one night each summer its flower opens to reveal silky white petals, which encircle yellow lacelike threads, and another whole flower like a tiny sea anemone within the outer flower. By morning, the flower has shriveled. One night of the year, as delicate and fleeting as a life in the universe."

Once upon a time , three not-so-wise kids stumbled across each other at a college radio station in Glassboro, New Jersey or as some might know it…off Exit 50A.
Many years later, Derek, Rob, and Kaz have arrived to the podcasting world to bring their irreverent (and sometimes irrelevant) hot takes on pop culture, politics, technology, trends, and much more.
They are a good time and even have an award to their credit…shockingly.
