Insiders say Chase Utley & Michael Young could be Phillies most likely traded
After losing two out of three to the hapless New York Mets last weekend, the 2013 Philadelphia Phillies have officially become the disaster that everyone in the Delaware Valley desperately hoped would not happen. The offense is putrid, the bullpen is even worse, and Charlie Manuel is clearly getting more flustered as the days are going by.
If the team declines even further, the team will almost surely deal some of their veterans and slowly start the rebuilding process.
However, the names that the Phillies deal might not, in fact, be starter Cliff Lee and closer Jonathan Papelbon, but rather two aging veterans: Michael Young and Chase Utley, reports CBS Sports insider Jon Heyman.
You have to love the fact that the Phillies can historically never get diddly squat for their superstars. Curt Schilling? Scott Rolen? Cliff Lee the first time? This time the issue appears to be salary. Lee is owed $75 million through 2015 (and $90 million if his option is picked up), while Papelbon is owed $33 million by 2015 and $46 million through 2016 if his option is picked up. Make no mistake, teams will be inquiring about both Lee and Papelbon, but don't be surprised if they're both here in September. If they aren't, chances are the Phillies got a raw deal.
Now back to Young and Utley.
We'll start with Young because, to be blunt, we're saving Utley for last. Overall, Young has had very nice career- too bad his previous 13 seasons weren't in a Phillies uniform. At this point, Young is serviceable. The kind of player you would see on a team a few games under .500. Young is a classy guy who's been dealing with some personal issues this season. His post season appearances with the Rangers give him experience that could definitely help a contending team.
Now on to Utley.
Utley has already missed 31 games this season. His trips to the disabled list have become par for the course for someone whom many considered to eventually go down as one of the greatest second basemen to ever play the game. Could he help a contending team get over the hump? Without question. Chase Utley has never taken a play off in his major league career (which unfortunately is one of the reasons why his career will be shortened). His numbers aren't what they used to be, but and his veteran presence and leadership improves a team by itself. Darren Daulton's best days were behind him when he was traded to the Marlins, but any player from that team will tell you he was the difference maker in their championship season back in 1997.
Of course, be prepared for the backlash (and there will be a backlash) if Utley is in fact, dealt. It's not quite akin to the Oilers trading Wayne Gretzky to the Kings- probably more like if the Twins ever traded Kirby Puckett, but you see what I mean. Despite his decline the last few seasons, Chase Utley is still one of the greatest Phillies ever. It will be a sad, sad day when the franchise will have turned the page and said goodbye to the glory era of 2007-2011. Trading Utley will make that official.
Being that Utley and Young are both past their primes, it's hard to really forecast just what kind of value the Phillies could get for them. Unlike Lee and Papelbon, salary shouldn't be an issue. Young has a little over $8 million left on his $16 million 2013 salary, and Utley has around $8 million on his $15 million salary.
Stay tuned.

At first, the scenario sounds a bit familiar…A diverse and eclectic group of motorcycle builders. An impossible deadline. A race for glory. But this time there's a difference…
It's real.
The Mission: Team Momba will head south from their Milwaukee home base to one of the largest motorcycle events in the nation, AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days July 28-30th at the beautiful Mid Ohio Sports Car course. Vintage Motorcycle Days is also host to the American Historic Motorcycle Racing Association's (AHRMA) premiere national road race and the largest motorcycle swap meet in the country with over 1000 vendors. The combination of these two events provides a unique environment Team Momba hopes to take advantage of. In the team's hearts, all the enthusiasm a group of hopeless motorcycle addicts can muster. In their wallet, a limited wad of cash. And in their race trailer: nothing. For nothing more than the reward of attempting such a challenge, Team Momba will fabricate and construct an AHRMA legal vintage road race bike from parts sourced entirely from the swap meet, pass tech inspection, and race for the podium on Sunday. An impossible challenge? Maybe…but the odds are stacked in Team Momba's favor based on the team they have assembled.
The Momba: Team Momba is made up of an eclectic mix of 12 individuals, pulled deep from the heart of Milwaukee's rich underground classic motorcycle scene. Team members include everything from clean cut engineers and salesmen to tattooed professional roller derby girls. The common bond being a shared love for building, riding, and racing classic motorcycles and enjoying all the fun and camaraderie the sport has to offer. The entire team, including our 4 women members, are involved in some sort of motorcycle racing. Member accomplishments include road racing championships, supermotard AMA pro's licenses, drag racing champions, and even a world land speed record holder. One would be hard pressed to put together a better team for such a challenge. The team was assembled in January, and has been meeting on a regular basis in a run down warehouse in Milwaukee, researching and planning the build literally to the minute. Will it be enough to make Milwaukee proud? Time will tell….checkout MOMBA Profiles to learn more about the team.

The brutal murder of a Peruvian transgender prostitute in Paris, France, has sparked protests from sex workers and LGBT activists who say the country's criminalization of prostitution leaves prostitutes particularly vulnerable to robbery and murder.
Vanesa Campos, 36, was shot and killed in the Bois de Boulogne — a park known to be a pick-up area for prostitutes — after she attempted to protect a client who was being robbed by an estimated 10 men armed with knives, sticks and a handgun, according to a police source who spoke to Le Parisien. Latina prostitutes working nearby said they heard gunshots and Campos yelling out the word, "Todas!" — a Spanish word that translates to "all women" and that served as a code word prostitutes use when they need help. But by the time they arrived, they said she was already on the ground and had to retreat after more shots were fired. Eight people have been arrested in connection with the killing, and five charged with murder and robbery, according to AFP.
In the wake of the attack, hundreds marched in protest on Friday to demand "Justice for Vanesa" and to call on the French government to repeal a law that criminalizes the purchase of sex — a measure that critics say forces prostitutes to work in isolated and dangerous locations to avoid police.
"The law is 100% responsible for Vanesa's death," protester Giovanna Rincon told AFP.
Advocates for the 2016 law have portrayed it as an improvement on past laws targeting prostitution, noting that it doesn't target sex workers for arrest and that it helps foreign prostitutes achieve temporary residence permits if they pursue jobs other than prostitution.

Ram Gopal Vijayvargiya
Ram Gopal Vijayvargiya
Ram Gopal Vijayvargiya(1905 – 2003)
Finding his source of inspiration in Bengal School of Painting, and considering Shailendra Nath De as his "Guru", Ramgopal Vijaivargiya refrained himself from being inclined to any other style or form of art. Hence, balance and temperament are key attributes of Vijayvargiya's work. In the words of RC Tandon, Vijayvargiya's artworks carried a "strong individualistic sense" and since he studied Hindu mythology for a long time, he was at full liberty to explore the gamut of spiritualism and erotic in equal measure. Smooth lines, supple creations were a signature of Vijayvargiya's works and always remained a dominant characteristic of his paintings.

I never read any of Heinlein's "juveniles" while a juvenile, but I recently listened to the audiobook version of The Rolling Stones, which includes a rant about cars:
Despite their great sizes and tremendous power spaceships are surprisingly simple machines. Every technology goes through three stages: first a crudely simple and quite unsatisfactory gadget; second, an enormously complicated group of gadgets designed to overcome the short-comings of the original and achieving thereby somewhat satisfactory performance through extremely complex compromise; third, a final proper design therefrom.
In transportation the ox cart and the rowboat represent the first stage of technology.
The second stage may well be represented by the automobiles of the middle twentieth century just before the opening of interplanatery travel. These unbelievable museum pieces were fro their time fast, sleek and powerful — but inside their skins were assembled a preposterous collection of mechanical buffoonery. The prime mover for such a juggernaut might have rested in one's lap; the rest of the mad assembly consisted of afterthoughts intended to correct the uncorrectable, to repair the original basic mistake in design — for automobiles and even the early aeroplanes were "powered" (if on may call it that) by "reciprocating engines." A reciprocating engine was a collection of miniature heat engines using (in a basically inefficient cycle) a small percentage of an exothermic chemical reaction, a reaction which was started and stopped every split second. Much of the heat was intentionally thrown away into a "water jacket" or "cooling system," then wasted into the atmosphere through a heat exchanger.
What little was left caused blocks of metal to thump foolishly back-and-forth (hence the name "reciprocating") and thence through a linkage to cause a shaft and flywheel to spin around. The flywheel (believe it if you can) had no gyroscopic function; it was used to store kinetic energy in a futile attempt to cover up the sins of reciprocation. The shaft at long last caused the wheels to turn and thereby propelled this pile of junk over the countryside.
The prime mover was used only to accelerate and to overcome "friction" — a concept then in much wider engineering use. To decelerate, stop, or turn, the heroic human operator used his own muscle power, multiplied precariously through a series of levers.
Despite the name "automobile" these vehicles had no autocontrol circuits; control, such as it was, was exercised second by second for hours on end by a human being peering out through a small pane of dirty silica glass, and judging unassisted and often disastrously his own motion and those of other objects. In almost all cases the operator had no notion of the kinetic energy stored in his missile and could not have written the basic equation. Newton's Laws of Motion were to him mysteries as profound as the meaning of the universe.
Nevertheless millions of these mechanical jokes swarmed over our home planet, dodging each other by inches or failing to dodge. None of them ever worked right; by their nature they could not work right; and they were constantly getting out of order. Their operators were usually mightily pleased when they worked at all. When they did not, which was every few hundred miles (hundred, not hundred thousand), they hired a member of a social class of arcane specialists to make inadequate and always expensive temporary repairs.
Despite their mad shortcomings, these "automobiles" were the most characteristic form of wealth and the most cherished possessions of their time. Three whole generations were slaves to them.
The book is also the source of the original tribble and its associated troubles:
The similarities to the flat cats and the some specific story events involving them was brought to the attention of the Star Trek staff when Desilu/Paramount's primary in-house clearance group, Kellam de Forest Research, submitted a report on the script on August of 1967, noting the similarities of "a small, featureless, fluffy, purring animal, friendly and loving, that reproduces rapidly when fed, and nearly engulfs a spaceship". So worrisome was this matter that the producers contacted Heinlein and asked for a waiver, which Heinlein granted. In his authorized biography Heinlein said he was called by producer Gene Coon about the issue and agreed to waive claim to the "similarity" to his flat cats because he'd just been through one plagiarism lawsuit and did not wish to embroil himself in another. He had misgivings upon seeing the actual script but let it go, an action he later regretted.

An upcoming episode of Fireworks Production's Shapath on Life OK will bring some exciting concept which has already been loved and extremely appreciated in Hollywood. The story will feature actors Karan Goddwani and Sanchita Kulkarni.
A source informs us that the story will be shot on the lines of Hollywood movie Matrix. Karan will essay the role of a person who would be disguised inside the cyber world (internet) and commit cyber crimes such as hacking and polluting the web space. A lot of chaos and confusion will take place when the accounts in banks, hospitals and Crime Investigation Departments will be hacked. Aiding him will be Sanchita's character.
When we contacted Karan he commented, "I cannot confirm the story as I am yet to go for a look test. What I know off is that I will be essaying a Supervillain in the show and will have a matrix feel to it. I liked the concept of the show as such kind of a thing has never been shot in Bollywood or television. Essaying distinguished characters is something which every actor looks out for and I look forward to shooting for the same."
All attempts to reach Sanchita proved futile.

The strong odor that forced a flight from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to divert to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on Sunday came from "someone or something in the cabin," according to the airline.
Alaska Airlines told SFGATE on Sunday that a "strong odor was detected onboard during the flight in the aft cabin," and that the airline was investigating the cause of the odor.
[post_ads]Investigators concluded that the odor did not come from a problem with the aircraft, but instead from a passenger or their belongings.
"After a maintenance inspection of [the plane], it was determined the odor was not caused by the aircraft," a spokesperson for Alaska Airlines said on Tuesday. "The cause of the odor is believed to have emanated from someone or something in the cabin. The aircraft is back in service."
The plane was originally headed to New Orleans, and landed safely in Los Angeles around noon on Sunday. No emergency was declared by the crew.
A spokesperson for LAX said there were 136 people on the flight, and Alaska Airlines said the passengers were rebooked on continuing flights to New Orleans.
In June, a passenger on a flight from Spain to the Netherlands gave off an odor that was so overwhelming it induced fellow travelers to vomit in their seats. The smell also forced the pilot to make an emergency landing.
The man suffered from tissue necrosis, and eventually died from the condition.

There are some noises that happen during sex that you pretty much just have to ignore. It happens to all of us — the sound of two bodies slapping against each other, the moist sucky sounds that just sort of happen when things get rowdy, and then, maybe the most dire of all sex sounds, queefing. If anything, we can all take comfort in the fact that it's happening to all women the world over. But in case you had any more questions about the little toots your vagina makes, Cosmopolitan.com spoke with an expert to get to the bottom of the farts that don't come out of yours.
If you've ever queefed, you've noticed that although they sound uncannily similar to a fart, they're missing one distinctive trait of farts: Queefs don't smell. Your smelliest smelly farts are the result of bacteria breaking down and being released as gas during the process of digestion, and then escaping your bod in the form of a little toot. But queefs don't come from digestion, they just come from pockets of air sneaking out of your vagina in one quick burst.
"Queefs happen when air works its way into the vaginal canal and then escapes, sometimes making farty toot-toot sounds as it passes back out through the vaginal opening," Dr. Vanessa Cullins, vice president of external medical affairs at Planned Parenthood, told Cosmopolitan.com. "Queefs don't smell because they're caused by plain old air. They're basically the vaginal version of making fart sounds with your mouth."
So if you want, you can call queefs "vagina farts," but know that it's technically inaccurate. To-may-to, to-mah-to situation, sorta, but like toot-may-to, toot-mah-to.
2. When queefing happens...
While it might seem like a queef only escapes your vagina during the most embarrassing times (like during a silent moment in yoga or during a quiet second during your foreplay), Dr. Cullins explained that they can just sort of happen whenever. "They are sometimes completely random," she said. But. But! There are certain activities that put you more ~at risk~ for some good ol' queefing.
"They're especially common during sex because fingers, penises, or sex toys can easily push air up there," Dr. Cullins said. "Your vagina also expands when you're turned on, which makes more room for air. And vaginal moistness, which increases during sex, helps make that 'poot poot poot' sound."
Because life is unfair and we frankly have very little control over our body's functions, this does mean that, yes, your sexiest moments are also the moments when your vagina is most likely to let out a big fart sound. But there's nothing abnormal about letting out a sputter of queefs every time you have sex — air is a gas, and the nature of gases is that they fill their containers. Sometimes that container just happens to be your cavernous vagina.
3. How to recover from a queef...
Oh, I wish I could give you expert advice on how to gracefully recover from an awkward moment during sex, but I really cannot. Dr. Cullins reassured that queefing is totally "normal and nothing to be embarrassed about." But she also said that there's no surefire way to prevent them from happening. As of yet, there's no queefing equivalent of Gas-X. Although the idea of being able to be "Queef-X" is sexy and intriguing.
"Here's a little secret about sex: it's kinda weird and messy and funny," Dr. Cullins said. "There are smells. There are sounds. There are fluids. Sex is an intimate process that makes some of us feel pretty vulnerable, which is why it's best to save it for someone who treats you with kindness and respect — like the kind of people who couldn't care less how queefy your vagina is."
So sure, queefs are a bit embarrassing, but *sighs romantically* it's the little farty toot-toots in relationships that lead to the kind of long-lasting love we all want. In the end, you just kinda have to accept that life's a toot, and queefs happen.

First Light at Trona Pinnacles
Where is that? Is that on Earth? Does anyone else enjoy finding places that make you question where you really are? There are many bizarre local landscapes that can give us this sense of something alien. The Trona Pinnacles were formed from springs below the surface of an ancient lake pumping mineral rich water up from the ground. This minerals built up into towers over time, only to be revealed to sunlight as the lake subsided. This location has been featured in sci-fi movies and television, including Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica. Mojave Desert, 2017.

The Bus Ride Home
Slightly out of breath from running the last stretch to the bus station, Palo Alto High School seniors Brianna Moreno-Alcocer and Allison Salinas step onto SamTrans Bus 21, each swiping a reflective green card across the sensor in one smooth, practiced motion. Moreno-Alcocer slides into the row of seats first, placing her backpack on her lap as Salinas settles into the seat beside her.
A faint smell of diesel clings to the well-worn and patterned seat covers and the low hum of the bus engine thrums in the background as the vehicle pulls out of the station and onto University Avenue.
With her head resting comfortably on Moreno-Alcocer's shoulder, Salinas interlocks their arms. They have been best friends since freshman year.
"I don't even know how we became friends," Salinas says. "I just needed someone to show me where the bus was."
Both Moreno-Alcocer and Salinas receive a monthly bus pass from Palo Alto Unified School District's Tinsley Voluntary Transportation Program. The VTP program, created in 1986, gives students of color from different districts the opportunity to attend school in PAUSD.
Moreno-Alcocer and Salinas take the SamTrans bus home to Menlo Park and East Palo Alto, respectively. Their bus ride home can take anywhere from 15 minutes to three hours. Though they have experienced harassment, unwanted comments and more, the bus ride to Paly is an opportunity for them to attend a safer high school with more resources, according to Moreno-Alcocer.
Though most students hardly think about their short journey home from school, Moreno-Alcocer's and Salinas' afternoons are consumed by their daily bus ride home. In this issue, Verde documents this uncommon, yet routine, journey home in a series of candid photographs.

OK, I wasn't planning on making another Coffee card, but what can I say, when inspiration hits you follow it.
My friend Robin was hostess for a challenge on SCS for Free for all challenge F4A277
The challenge was a recipe challenge. You had to make a card with items that spelled out J-U-N-E.
For J- I used MFP set called Java Time. I also used Jute twine.
For U- I used UTEE to do Joseph's Coat for SCS mix-ABILITY challenge MIX124. I also used my Unity Beautiful Elements set for the coffee stains
For N- I used newsprint (Unity Classified Newsprint) and I used sentiment "N"eed coffee.
For E- I made an Easel card and I used Eyelets
The cup panel started as white cardstock and it looked like this before I embossed with UTEE and added the dark layer and the gold shimmer spray and the newsprint and coffee stains.
This close up of one of the cups shows the gold shimmer spray behind it. I outlined the cups with gold sharpie marker.

Miner of the Month: Russell Kear
We've been chatting to Miner Guide, Russell Kear AKA Russ to find out a little bit more about his life before and after the Museum.
Russell Kear AKA Russ started mining at the age of 16 at Sharlston before transferring to the Selby Coal Field in 1993. When the Selby Coal Field closed in 2004, he moved to Kellingley where he spent the remaining years of his career.
"One of my biggest memories is the Miners' Strike of 84/85, being only 19 years old when it took place"
Russ was made redundant on 24th July 2015 at the age of 50. Having worked with a few of the men at Caphouse before, he got in touch with the Museum and soon became a member of the NCM team.
"The best part of the job? Meeting people and sharing memories of mining in the past and present – especially giving an insight into the humour miners share!"
"It's great to watch people laugh and say they've really enjoyed the tour."
If you fancy getting kitted out and embarking on a journey 140m beneath the surface, book one of special underground tours today!

Manny Pacquiao Signs With PBC:
Just when DAZN got a big momentum swing in its favor after signing Canelo Alvarez a couple of weeks ago, PBC signed arguably its free agent yet with the announcement that Manny Pacquiao is joining the stable.
The boxing company founded by Al Haymon officially announced it has signed the eight-division world champion to a promotional deal that will not only have Pacquiao fight under the PBC banner but also possibly fight in the United States for the first time since 2016.
Although PBC did not announce exactly when will Pacquiao return to the ring, the press release did say he is expected to be back in action in early 2019. Pacquiao recently told media in the Philippines that he would be returning in mid-January against Adrien Broner. With Pacquiao and Broner now competing for PBC, this makes the fight one that can be made relatively easy. Regardless of who Pacquiao faces in his next fight, which will be announced soon, it will be co-promoted by MP Promotions and TGB Promotions.
As part of the deal, Pacquiao's promotion company, MP Promotions, will promote all of his upcoming bouts under this new alignment with Haymon and PBC. MP Promotions will also work with Haymon to bring some of the best fighters from the Philippines and Asia to the United States to appear on the PBC series.
"I'm very excited about this new chapter in my career and I'm looking forward to a fresh start. I'm reinvigorated by the prospects of bringing up new fighters under the MP Promotions banner. My team will work closely with Al Haymon for the remainder of my career to deliver the most anticipated fights with the top PBC fighters. Those are the fights the fans want to see and the ones I want to have to close out my career," Pacquiao said in a press release sent to Fightful.
Pacquiao, who previously fought for Top Rank Boxing, last fought in July when he knocked out Lucas Matthysse to win the WBA "regular" welterweight title. The fight took place in Malaysia, his second consecutive fight outside of the United States. Prior to the fight in Malaysia, Pacquiao's one and only boxing fight in 2017 took place in Australia where he suffered a shocking loss to Jeff Horn with the WBO welterweight title at stake.
PBC has been riding a wave of momentum in recent months after signing long-term broadcast deals with Showtime and FOX, meaning Pacquiao could potentially be fighting on television once more. Pacquiao's last fight shown on television in the United States, the 2017 loss to Horn, averaged more than 2.8 million viewers and made it the most-watched boxing event on cable television since 2006.
Now with that being said, Pacquiao's next fight against Broner does appear to be heading to pay-per-view. It is interesting to see that PBC, after never really spearheading pay-per-view cards in the past, is now jumping at the opportunity to do multiple paid events in the next few months in the aftermath of HBO no longer doing boxing events starting in 2019.
The idea that Pacquiao would fight on free television does sound nice on paper, but if Pacquiao is to fight in the United States, television alone does not do it. It should be noted that Pacquiao has a large multi-million dollar debt to the IRS and unless PBC gives Pacquiao an insane purse for a televised fight, then that debt will remain a problem. Pay-per-view has always been kind to Pacquiao, whose last fight was against Jessie Vargas. That fight drew about 300,000 buys, so one should expect similar buyrate, perhaps about 350,000-400,000 against Broner, who is a far bigger draw than Vargas ever was in his career.

It has been a wild several days when it comes to the very sensitive issue of same-sex relationships in the U.S. What the headlines of late reflect is that the subject is far from resolved, despite the recent ruling by the Supreme Court that same-sex marriage is legal.
Significant levels of uncertainty about what the law allows and does not has major implications for Mississippi individuals and couples with family law issues. Questions related to domestic partnerships, adoption and more abound and where they exist, consulting with experienced legal counsel is recommended.
If nothing else the developments reflect the complicated nature of the legal process. In Kentucky, you have a county court clerk who has refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex and even some other-sex couples. She has opted to go to jail for contempt of court rather than go against what she says are her religious beliefs that homosexuality is a sin.
And in Tennessee, there is the county court judge who has used the June Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage as one reason for why he denied a divorce to a heterosexual couple in their 60s that wants to split after nearly 14 years of marriage.
To be fair, the judge's decision does say that he doesn't believe the couple made their cases for divorce on the grounds they claimed -- inappropriate marital conduct and irreconcilable differences. But he also used the case to state that the Supreme Court's ruling overturning state constitution definitions of marriage also throws into question what defines divorce. He suggests his hands are tied until the Supreme Court weighs in on that score.
And here in Mississippi the issue remains up in the air. Many readers may recall that State House Judiciary Chairman Andy Gipson told the Jackson Clarion Ledger in June that one option that deserves consideration is simply repealing any requirement for the state to issue marriage licenses.
With matters in such flux, legal questions are sure to be rife.

New Honda Civic Type R rolls into Brandon Honda for July 13 unveiling
Much-anticipated new sports model was born out of Honda's racing heritage
By: Brandon Honda
Honda has been building high performance hatchbacks for European and other foreign markets for several years, but this is the first Type R model to be built for the United States market. The six-speed, manual transmission is a racer at heart. Engineered from the ground up for aggressive performance, its direct fuel injection, 2.0-liter, VTEC turbo, four cylinder engine delivers on power, speed and smooth, responsive handling, even as it gets an EPA estimated 28 mpg on the highway and 25 mpg in combined fuel economy.
It offers 306 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 295 pound-feet of torque between 2,500 and 4,500 rpm with 20.3 psi of boost to achieve 62 mph in just 5.7 seconds, with a top speed of 169 mph. Helical, limited-slip differential and revised, dual-axis Macpherson strut suspension reduce torque steer for a fast, straight launch and steady road handling.
The Civic Type R offers sporty detailing with red accents, LED headlights, a host of Honda's safety technology, 20-inch alloy sport wheels with 10 spokes, climate control and seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system, complete with smartphone integration and reversing camera. It seats five with comfortable, supportive front seats and 60/40 split second-row seating that folds down for added cargo space.
The all-new Type R has a comprehensive aerodynamic package that includes a smoother underbody, front air curtain, a lightweight rear wing, and vortex generators at the trailing edge of the roof line. The muscular body has a best-in-class balance between lift and drag, contributing to greater, high speed stability. With a longer wheelbase than previous Civics and fuel tanks relocated from under the front seats to under the rear, the driver's center of gravity is lowered by 50 mm for even more stability.
Now with three drive modes, a new "Comfort" setting joins the agile "Sport" and track-focused "+R" modes to tailor the adaptive dampers, steering force, gear shift feeling, and throttle response to drivers' preferences and road conditions. Automatic rev matching system makes downshifting smoother and cuts gear shifting time.

It is an award-winning automobile dealer and Green-Star Certified service facility that works proactively to protect the environment.

Deportation & Removal
A deportation order requires illegal UK immigrant/s to leave the UK until s/he is removed. It also prohibits illegal UK immigrant from re-entering the country for as long as it is in force and invalidates any leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom given them before the Order is made or while it is in force.
The deportation circumstances include:
- When the State Secretary holds the person's deportation to be conducive to the public good
- When a spouse or a civil partner or child under 18 of a person ordered to be deported
- When court orders deportation in the case of a person over the age of 17 who has been convicted of an offence punishable with imprisonment.
The Process of UK Deportation
- Where the State Secretary makes a decision of state's best interest to deport a member of a family as such, the decision, and the right of appeal, will be notified and it will at the same time be explained that it is open to the member of the family to leave the country voluntarily if he does not wish to appeal or if he appeals and his appeal is dismissed.
- When a decision to make a deportation order has been taken (otherwise than on the recommendation of a court) a notice will be given to the person concerned informing him of the decision and of his right of appeal.
Appeal to UK Deportation Order
A deportation order may not be made while it is still open to the person to appeal against the State Secretary's decision, or whilst a pending appeal except where the State Secretary is required to make the deportation order in respect of a foreign criminal under section 32(5) of the UK Borders Act 2007. An appeal is not possible within the immigration appeal system against the making of a deportation order on the recommendation of a court; but there is a right of appeal to a higher court against the recommendation itself. Order on deportation may be held in while it is still open to the person to appeal against the particular conviction, sentence or recommendations, or while such an appeal is pending.

February 1: Prince Alwaleed bin Talal of Saudi Arabia, whose investments include large stakes in Citigroup and News Corp, is floating his Kingdom Hotel Investments business simultaneously in London and Dubai. The business could be worth $2bn and would probably be the largest Middle Eastern company to float on the LSE. We expect many more to follow this year and it is interesting, if not hugely surprising, that they should choose London over New York. The main listing will be in Dubai, with global depository shares listed on the LSE. The banks on the IPO are Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank. Kingdom owns interests in 26 properties in 13 countries, including 15 operating hotels and resorts and 11 hotels and resorts currently under construction or in the initial stages of development.
Rumours that Lloyds TSB is in receipt of, or about to receive, a takeover bid have circulated all week. However, they were given fresh impetus this morning by a story in the Guardian's market report. This reported rumours that BBVA of Spain might be stalking Lloyds, although it didn't push the line very hard. The stock is up just over 6 per cent. We are looking into it, of course, but we, too, are very sceptical.
BSkyB beat profit forecasts for the first half as it signed up more subscribers than expected and the rate of customer churn declined. In the six months to December 31 pre-tax profits rose 14 per cent to £390m as revenues increased by 9 per cent to £2.14bn.
Compass has announced the conclusion of a three-month investigation by Freshfields and Ernst & Young into allegations about UN contracts. The report acknowledges there had been "serious irregularities" but attaches blame to "a few individuals within ESS", one of its subsidiaries. It adds that there is "no reason to believe that these issues extend beyond these individuals to other parts of ESS or to the wider Compass Group". Readers will know that Salamander Davoudi has followed this story extremely closely so can expect some good stuff from her tomorrow.
We are also looking for a way back into the Cable and Wireless story from yesterday. I'm extremely interested in what Richard Lapthorne said about the non-recurring items the company disclosed.
And we might look more closely at WPP's difficulties in Italy, which Gary Silverman wrote about in this morning's paper.

BCF Marketing
5400 College Dr.
Graceville, FL 32440
(800) 328-2660 ext. 415
July 23, 2018
The faculty and staff in the Music and Worship Division at The Baptist College of Florida (BCF) combined with worship leaders from across Florida to lead the fourth annual "Elevate" Worship Arts Camp July 9-13 on the Graceville campus. Over forty motivated campers from across the state participated in this year's camp designed for students sixth grade through the twelfth grade. The campers engaged in multiple worship experiences to "elevate" and strengthen their abilities to lead and participate in worship through singing and playing instruments, and other creative expressions such as sign language, drama, puppets, and photography. The incredible faculty, alumni, and other talented clinicians provided instruction during the breakout sessions and encouraged students to reach the next level in their areas of interest.
Back for the fourth year, Rev. Ryan Shipp, Pastor of Worship and Missions at Mandarin Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Fla., served as the camp pastor. BCF graduate Shawn Smith, Music and Worship Pastor at Hillcrest Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Fla., led the group in praise and worship. Both men demonstrated a genuine heart for worship as they shared their hearts during times of worship, group sessions, and devotionals.
The overall camp experience provided participants with opportunities for spiritual development through Bible study, youth-oriented worship services, and daily devotional times. Students were shown the importance of their God-given gifts and abilities, and the joy of using those talents to honor the One who created them. "We are confident that these young people will take the knowledge and ability they have gained during Elevate back home and make a significant contribution to the worship life of their churches," stated BCF Music and Worship Division Chair Bill Davis. "We hope many of them will come back and study with us as full-fledged BCF students!"
In addition to the inspirational worship experiences and class instruction, the campers enjoyed times of fellowship getting to know other Christians their age from around the state. Recreation proved to be yet another important opportunity for fellowship, with events that included a trip to a Blue Springs, a water park, and plenty of fun on the BCF campus led by BCF graduate and Minister of Music at First Baptist Church Graceville, Buddy Goodman. His unique flair with competitive team sports inside and outside kept campers on their toes, engaged, and challenged.
The camp concluded with a combined choir concert and presentations from the various worship classes. "A few days ago, I had the wonderful opportunity to participate in a great musical celebration," stated BCF President Thomas A. Kinchen. "The joy of the occasion was not determined by whether the content was anthems or choruses. It was not dependent upon whether the musicians were well-seasoned professionals or middle school choir members. The occasion was joyous because of the content of the music and the spirit in which it was presented. The closing concert at Elevate, the Worship Arts Camp at The Baptist College of Florida, was a wonderful time of entertainment and worship. Someone might have missed a note, but then what do I know? I know that I saw students and staff, trained and novices all worshipping our Lord, and, for me, that was abundant joy."
Four students received a $1000 scholarship to attend The Baptist College of Florida and continue studying worship arts or one of the other degree fields where the Lord may be leading them. For more information on the music and worship degrees offered at The Baptist College of Florida or information on next year's "Elevate" Worship Arts Camp, please contact 850-263-3261 ext. 427.

Christmas in July!!!
I think April meant for us to go with the Christmas holidays, but I went with New Year's because it always has to take a back seat to the rest of the holidays (actually it may take a front seat since it is the first one...). I used the very cool Framed Mountains Digi Image created by AnnieJ Designs. The image comes with three images of mountains with various tones. I cropped out one of the frames and then cut it with a Spellbinders Oval Die. I also used some crystals from the Zva Crystal Wheel available at Can You Digi It? At $3.50, I think it is one of the best values in crafting out there!
Oh yeah, back the college memories. My first two years in college at the Univerity of New Mexico, I dated a nice young man who belonged to a Fraternity. In order to spend more time with him, I became a "Little Sister" at the Fraterity. The Little Sisters were in charge of a giant party every year. At this party the theme was Holidays - all of them! So we used every kind of holiday decoration you could think of. It was gaudy to say the least, and I am sure you could see it from miles around. There were Christmas lights strung every where, a large American flag hanging in the front yard, carved pumpkins with candles at the front entrance, luminarias lining the sidewalk and driveway, and you can just imagine the inside of the house! I remember the clean-up was the worst!!!
Holiday Hugz to you!!!

The ascendance of the so-called "hard right" in the US and the Trump administration's work to protect its power means it's unlikely the movement will be beaten by Democrats or left leaning parties at this point. The power of the hard right in red-states has become
institutionalized. So perhaps the answer is, instead, empowering traditional Conservatives who are passionate about public education and the environment to take power back in Republican party primaries? That could tilt the balance in a more centrist direction.
Value Voting, which is graduating as part of the Y Combinator programme, develops political targeting software for advocacy groups. They show leaders which of their members are voters, how many votes they need to flip an election, and help them form alliances to get the votes they need to win.
Here's their thinking:
Turnout for party primaries in midterm years is extremely low (10-14% of registered voters). Using Value Voting, advocacy group leaders share anonymized voter data with allies to know which elections they can influence, find candidates to run in those elections, and coordinate messaging across alliances.
The startup is in part borne out of the experience of cofounder James Vaughan, who worked in Congress in 2009. At that point Democrats were getting roasted on Obamacare. Republicans were unwilling to compromise because to do so had become a political liability in the primaries. This loss of compromise between parties is clearly damaging pragmatic politics and thus its ability to deal with the complex problems the country faces.
In terms of traction, groups with a total of 530,000 voters are using the platform. Three alliances have been formed – with 290,000 anonymized voter profiles shared.
How does it work?
Well, the "user", an advocacy group leader, receives an e-mail invite from an ally. After signup, the user joins the alliance and uploads their member data. Value Voting then matches the member data with the voter file – assigning each member a "voter type." Then they anonymize this voter data and add it to the alliance totals. For example, the user will now know that across the alliance, they have 4,000 unique Republican primary voters in a district and it will take 7,000 votes to win the next election.

By Wolters Kluwer Editorial Staff
The Iowa House again unanimously approved legislation providing oversight of Medicaid managed care to deal with reservations raised in previously passed legislation. The House earlier passed similar legislation on a 97-0 vote, but failed to meet a deadline required by the Iowa Senate. The new legislation, House File 2483, passed on a 95-0 vote.
The bill addresses the timeliness of Medicaid payments, denial reasoning, credentialing, prior authorizations, appeals, level of care determinations and a small claims audit. One of the changes approved would decrease guaranteed court-order treatment time from five days to three before medical necessity criteria is applied. As a result, there would be a 40 percent decrease in the cost to Iowa Medicaid, but still allow for treatment over a long weekend.
An analysis by the Iowa Legislative Services Agency after passage of the first attempt noted that the bill's cost would be $4.7 million. However, lawmakers were able to find ways to reduce the price tag to $1.55 million in the new version.

Fine Jewelry
Silver and Rock Crystal Dress Clip, Margret Craver, c. 1936, the bold geometric clip centering a circular cabochon with faceted underside, 2 1/8 x 2 in., maker's mark.
Note: Craver showed a strong interest in gemology and lapidary work, and cut the stone herself. This clip is pictured in Jewelry, Journal of the American Society of Jewelry Historians, 1996-1997, Volume One, p. 13.
Note: From the Estate of Margret Craver Withers (1907-2010).
Margret Craver had numerous accomplishments as a modernist jeweler and metalsmith. She was largely self taught. Craver was born in Pratt, Kansas, and introduced to metalsmithing as a design major at the University of Kansas in the late 1920s. In 1938 she traveled to Sweden to study with Baron Erik Fleming, silversmith to the King. Under his tutelage, Craver refined her craft and sharpened her skills. Silver was her medium of choice, but she also worked in enamel and gemstones. During the war Craver taught metalwork to veterans as a means of therapy at Walter Reed Army Hospital. From there, she was appointed Director, Craft Service Department, at Handy and Harman. Craver cut her own gemstones (lot 460) and rediscovered the lost technique of en resille enameling. Her numerous awards include two from the Philadelphia Art Alliance: First Award in 1938, and Certificate of Merit in 1940 for a bonbonière now at the Art Institute of Chicago; Medal of Honor, Wichita Art Association, 1949 (lot 437); "Woman of the Month" by the American Women's Association, 1949; Honorary Member of the Master Gold and Silversmiths Guild of Sweden, 1950; Gold Medal for Excellence, American Craft Council, 1986; and in 1989, a year after her retirement from metalsmithing, Craver was honored for "Outstanding Achievement in the Visual Arts" by the Women's Caucus for Art. Her work is in numerous museum collections including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Renwick Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Skinner is very pleased to offer selections from Margret Craver's estate that range from the work of others that she collected, such as fellow innovator John Paul Miller (lots 427-429), to Craver's own unique Solar-Lunar Cosmos series (lots 441-451).
Estimate $1,500-2,000
Some tarnish, wear with use, minor surface scratches, no apparent issues.

A preview into 'Livin' the Double Life' of Taeyang, CL, and Oh Hyuk
Jun Ko, Nov. 3, 2017, 11:02 a.m.
A preview has been released of Taeyang, CL, and Oh Hyuk for tvN's new variety show, 'Livin' the Double Life'. The preview gives a little insight into the stars' personality when off-stage. Oh Hyuk continues to remain true to his quiet self, a funny scene playing out when he continues to remain silent to his manager's thrice-repeated question. Taeyang and CL are seen to be going along with their usual day with scenes of Taeyang eating and CL putting on her makeup. Also in the preview, the three stars go through a small interview, where CL opens up about her decision to work in America, Taeyang stating that he would probably be the most talkative, and Oh Hyuk offering a small statement of how he wished the show would be fun for viewers.
'Livin' the Double Life' will air on November 23 at 10:50 PM KST. Check out the preview below!

We left Eceabat early to catch the 10am Gökçeada ferry from Kabatepe, a couple of kilometres south of Anzac Cove. At Kabatepe we rode straight to the top of a 500 metre queue of cars and on to the ferry which then set sail -at 9 am! It seems the timetables have changed for the holiday period. The cars that missed out had at least 3 hours to wait. Anyway, no waiting for us. Cycling is the way to go!
On our way to the island we had good views of the entire peninsula including Anzac Cove. It is almost all flat with a gently sloping shoreline except for a two-kilometre section under a prominent, 700 metre high-point. Guess which part of the coast the allies chose to attempt a landing…
Gökçeada was called Imbros when it was under Greek control and may have been Poseidon's home in the Iliad. Almost all the Greeks were 'encouraged' to leave during the Cyprus war 50 years ago. There are hundreds of abandoned and derelict buildings (houses and Orthodox churches). There must have been a very large rural population once. Many of those settlements may have been destined for abandonment anyway without the assistance of the Turks. Strangely, the Greek settlements are now quite a draw-card for tourists. Unfortunately for us all, I don't think the Turks do tavernas as well as the Greeks and Islam has a dampening effect when it comes to alcoholic beverage service.
Gökçeada is a stunning island with steep shores and mountains and a long valley down the middle. It seems arid although there are several large reservoirs and reliable springs. The hills look quite barren – bare rocky peaks, scree slopes and flanks covered with round, spiky, goat-proof thorn bushes. Most of the old villages are inland. The guide book says this was to avoid pirate raids but permanent water sources (springs) may have been a factor.
Much of the island is occupied by the Turkish army alert to any possible invasion. They're keeping a close eye on those tricky Greeks. There is a precipitous Greek Island (Nisos Samothraki) just 20 km away but no sign of any wooden horses floating this way today. I don't think the Turks are going to fall for that one again anyway.
There was a high-ranking naval officer in Gökçeada township at lunch time. The main street was sprayed with water turning the dust into mud. I hope he didn't get any on his crisp, white trousers. There were security details up and down the street and a pair of white-gloved and white-cravatted military policy marching around. A large group of the local important civilians (men that is) were on-hand in shiny suits and white shirts.
Apart from military big knobs there are lots of visitors exerting huge pressure on accommodation. The three days following Ramadan really stretch the local tourist industry but we found a room for one night. No-one speaks English here and we don't speak Turkish. The cheap Turkish-English dictionary we bought a few days ago is hopeless. International sign language for sleep (head inclined to side with back of opposite hand on cheek) and eat (fingers to mouth), etc works for the basics.
We went swimming at Kaleköy which boasts one of Gökçeada's 'boundless natural beaches'. 'Boundless natural beach' means something different to Australians! Kaleköy was probably a nice bay once but is now dominated by a marina, a military R&R base and an ugly up-market holiday resort. The small section of beach left to the public was wide enough for our swim but the sand was hardly sparkling and the bottom rocky.
We had a siesta and then climbed a small hill in Kaleköy to the ruins of an Ottoman-era fort on the coastal cliffs. It is surrounded by a picturesque, partly-derelict village including some abandoned Orthodox churches.
We watched a gorgeous Aegean sunset from a terrace restaurant overlooking the bay (and sea and Greek island). Another steep island (Nisos Thasos?) to the west became visible through the haze as the sun dropped towards the horizon. We enjoyed nice food once we worked out what was on offer. It would be helpful if waiters were forthcoming when dealing with ignorant foreigners.
We don't know where we will sleep tomorrow – perhaps under an olive tree by the beach. If the accommodation problems persist we may need to return to the mainland although we are aware that Eceabat is booked out for several nights also.

Task -1 in CELPIP speaking is about giving advice to someone, and there are different ways you can advise other people.
Task 1 of the speaking module, assesses candidates ability to advice someone, may be a friend, a sibling, a colleague or a neighbor, about what to do in a fairly common situation, where someone needs to make a decision.
This is one of the only two 90 second answers in the speaking test. Since a candidate has more speaking time for this prompt, aim to provide clear, convincing reasons to strengthen your advice.
There is no right or wrong answer to the problem. During the preparation time, organize what you want to say. A candidate can make some notes, which he /she can refer to while speaking. Speak directly to whom you are giving advice. Instead of saying, "I would tell Sam" speak," Sam one good thing about….. ."
Next be polite and do not order a person. For this make use of modal verb. Like should, could, might. More often, should is used for giving advice, such as, "you should finish your work first" or "you should try that new restaurant".
Further link your ideas together to show how they are related. Use phrases like, "One thing you can do "on the other hand, if you …. "
Lastly you can conclude your advice by giving some words of encouragement, depending on the demand of the question like "All the best"', "Good Luck" , etc.
Here is an example of one of the prompts:->
"Sam is in his secondary school. He is deciding between going study abroad for his higher education or staying in his home country and finish his graduation. Advise him on the advantages and disadvantages of each decision."
Examples of different ways of giving advice
- If you want to learn English, you should start learning it right now.
- If I were you, I would stop smoking
- You'd better start learning now, if you have an exam tomorrow.
- How about going to the cinema
- In my experience …. Works really well
At Masterprep, the trained staff uses different methodologies to elicit a high level response from the candidates, to get the required points for the CELPIP exam.

PETA has once again shaken things up in the politically correct world of animal rights.
This time, it's a campaign to get people to stop using what the group calls "anti-animal" idioms. Things like "bring home the bacon" and "beat a dead horse."
In a tweet, PETA offers up some kinder, gentler alternatives they would like the world to use instead of the ones that take animals' names in vain.
"Words matter," PETA posted on social media, "and as our understanding of social justice evolves, our language evolves along with it."
While many are applauding PETA's linguistics-revision campaign, others have taken to social media to voice surprise, shock and even mild outrage over the group's high-minded refusal to let sleeping dogs lie. Linguistically speaking, of course.
I'd start a parody-PETA account but you'd never be able to tell the difference.
