Alice Park is a little tranquil gem on the eastern side of Bath; a wonderful place for whole families to enjoy. We are situated on the corner of the Gloucester Road and the A4, opposite the new McCarthy and Stone development. We've got eight acres of beautiful land, 6 tennis courts open to all, a family friendly playpark, community garden, boules piste, toilets and there is even some parking. Well behaved dogs (and children) are welcome off lead, and then there is the award-winning cafe.
Although the park is always open, the cafe is now on Summer Opening times, meaning we open everyday at 9.15 but now close at 5pm, a little later at weekends. If you are here, we will try and be here too.
There are regular football coaching days for the under 9's and two tennis clubs, so plenty for the young - and young at heart.
The park is open every day, and so is the cafe - apart from Christmas Day - even in the rain! We close at 4.30 in the winter, and 5.30 in the summer, weather permitting. And if the weather is lovely, we are open late on a Friday Night for Burgers and Alice Park Pizza! Best to phone and book, as this night is very popular! We host many family friendly, community based events, and we would be delighted to see you here; come and visit and find out what makes Alice Park the 'hidden gem'.
Hello and welcome to Alice Park, and of course the Alice Park Cafe.
Back in 2007, I was wandering around this stunning park with my dogs, and often thought 'wouldn't it be great if that tea chalet was open?'. So I decided to do something about it! I wanted to create a very special place, somewhere I would want to go either with or without kids (or dogs), and, although it has taken many years, we are getting there! We have now been here for over nine years, and hope you enjoy your visit. We have worked really hard to develop a great community vibe, and try our best to make the park a perfect family destination; somewhere even Dad can enjoy himself.
We have won awards for our planters in the Bath in Bloom competitions, and are in the process of rejuvenating the pond as we work tirelessly to improve this special place. As of July 2019, we are very proud to present our Wildlife Garden Pond area! Go have a look - don't nick the tadpoles - sit and relax and enjoy nature.
We are a family friendly business with great ties to the local community and a reputation for excellent customer service. Our aim is to provide quality food, drink and entertainment to those who visit the park - so it's stuff for kids, and stuff for adults too.
We have lots events and social gatherings, so make sure to follow our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages to stay up to date with the latest news - we are 'aliceparkcafe' on everything. Registering with us gets you free stuff, early invites to big events, First Choice for tickets and exclusive offers. Register here for a Loyalty Card and enjoy the benefits!
We have a full and comprehensive menu, from our very popular Full Alice English Breakfast, through to home made soup- along with proper chips, paninis, toasties and even our own brand of locally made, school compliant meals for kids - LittleScoffs! If you get a moment, check out the website www;littlescoffs.co.uk. Our influential FLOG food philosophy (Fairtrade, Local, Organic and Good For You) means that you can enjoy high quality food that won't send the kids crazy with E numbers!
We are open every day from 9.15am (10am on Sundays) so, whether you're after an early morning full English Breakfast or a relaxing afternoon Prosecco (yes, we are fullly licenced) Alice Park Cafe can provide what you're looking for. And if it's Friday, and the weather is looking good, why not stay later? Kids can have a proper meal, you can enjoy a steak - yes a quality bit of rump - and stay til 8. We are also available for hire; especially private hire, birthday parties and even weddings, so be sure to pop into the cafe and say hello!
Finally, if you can't make it here, but love what we do, then book Alice Moves - it's the Alice Park Cafe Coffee, Ice Creams and Music all in our very smart Vito Van! Perfect for private functions, car meets, fundraising activities etc get in touch through the cafe or www.alicemoves.co.uk - and if you are at WOMAD in 2019, pop by and say hi.
See you in the park!
Tony, Emma, Jenny, Nick & The Crew
"Before Tony took over the cafe in Alice Park it was just a place to get a watery cup of tea! Tony has changed the whole atmosphere of the park for the better. The park is now a thriving social hub where families come to spend the whole day. Grown-ups can now enjoy some lovely food and a decent cup of coffee with some great sounds."

How do you generate the kinds of ideas that change the world? Create a space where the right people are likely to meet at the right time in the right environment.
The Space
Innovation Works is a 32,000 square foot building located in the heart of London's Downtown. It's designed to attract incredible people, get them talking about one another's ideas, and offer the supports they need to turn those ideas into an achievable plan.
The Incredible People
We don't generally arrive at social change by doing the same old thing the same old way we've always done it. Change occurs when we introduce something different; a different idea, perspective, or approach that stimulates new ways of thinking. By bringing entrepreneurs, businesses, government, nonprofits and charities under one roof and literally removing the barriers between them, we are creating a condition whereby their differences will collide. This collision, messy and marvelous, is where new ideas are formed and where change begins.
Getting Them Talking
Community Animation is exactly what it sounds like: bringing the community and their ideas to life. We could place a group of strangers in a room, stand back and see what happens, or we can develop an intranet or plan a social event that encourages them to connect. We can let new ideas sit idle, or we can develop workshops that will help tenants to nurture and grow their ideas. Community Animation creates a culture of participation. It is an offering, not a requirement, allowing tenants to dip in and out of the community in a way that feels comfortable and natural to them.
The Supports They Need
The feel of a space and the resources and structures inherent in them can either foster or inhibit social innovation. Having access to resources like desk space, meeting space, and shared office amenities allows you to focus on your mission and generating ideas rather than administrative details and costs. Open spaces that are comfortable, where you can either do focused work on your own or have an impromptu chat with a few people in the kitchen, are more likely to result in the birth and growth of original ideas. Remember, diversity is what stimulates new ways of thinking whether in your perspectives or in your environment. A dynamic space is an innovative space.
Innovation Works occupies the space between sectors. We are the sum total of a dynamic group of people, projects and organizations. We are curious. We are dynamic thinkers. We are socially minded. We are ready to break new ground.
These concepts are adapted from the Centre for Social Innovation's Theory of Change. Innovation Works is a CSIx affiliate.
Sounds great, right? Don't take our word for it. Book A Tour
Our Story
Innovation Works was born in a living room amid a small gathering of community champions. Pillar Nonprofit Network programing, staff and resources support the space but at its heart, Innovation Works is a community-driven initiative, made by and for London.

What is the Travel Insurance Plan?
The Travel Insurance Plan offers comprehensive protection for your travel investment. In addition to excellent trip coverage and cancellation protection, the plan also includes a Cancel for Any Reason Waiver Benefit that allows for cancellations up to 24 hours prior to departure (or prior business day, whichever is farther out) for any reason. In the event cancellation is for a non-covered reason under Travel Insurance Plan, the cancellation penalty retained by Globus, minus the travel insurance payment, will be reimbursed under the Cancel for Any Reason Waiver Benefit, in the form of Travel Certificates valid for travel within two years from the original cancelled vacation start date. This Cancel for Any Reason Waiver Benefit does not cover Instant Purchase Air or independently purchased air. Click here for more details.
Return to Top
Why am I asked to give my passport name, gender and date of birth when booking air?
If the name on the airline reservation does not match the name exactly as it appears on your passport or other government-issued ID being used at the time of travel, you may not be allowed to board the plane. It is also important that this information be provided correctly at the time of booking, as any changes to your air booking, which includes spelling, could be subject to a change fee, penalties, higher fares, new schedule, and/or cancellation. TSA information is required within 10 days of booking air with Globus.

Return to Top
Are Globus tours disability accessible?
Globus makes reasonable attempts to accommodate the special needs of disabled and mobility impaired travellers but is not responsible in the event it is unable to do so. Because we cannot provide individual assistance to travellers in many situations, and most of our transportation services are not equipped with wheelchair ramps, we recommend that you view our terms and conditions for details and contact us to learn more.
Return to Top
Why is my contact information collected when I book?
There may be times when unforeseen events beyond our control impact travel schedules and potentially disrupt your vacation. These include, but are not limited to, severe weather conditions, acts of nature, and government travel advisories. Under such circumstances, it is critical that Globus be able to contact you immediately and reliably-including nights, weekends, and holidays-to make sure we've informed you of any possible changes to your travel.
Additionally, the care and safety of our guests have always been our highest priority. There may be a need to contact you while on the trip or to contact someone back home due to an unforeseen event that happens while on the trip. Therefore, in addition to pre-trip contact information, we also require an emergency contact name and number, as well as an on-trip phone number for all travellers.

The Rise of Fine Art Photography
Art photography's fast growth as a hot medium among collectors is a world-wide phenomena: according to Artmarket.com's recent study, photography's price index grew 48% between 2000 and 2015 outperforming the Fine Art market as a whole by 12%.
The reason is twofold:
First, it is affordable. With initial investments in the hundreds rather than thousands of dollars, it is an entryway for Millennials and other generations into the Fine Art market. Photography allows them to start their collections early on and then broaden them later into other genres such as paintings, sculptures and installations.
Second, Fine Art Photography speaks to today's generations in a unique, impactful and lasting way, connecting them with the icons and memorable moments of the modern age. In an era where authenticity is everything, today's collector navigates away from clutter to real, simple and shareable visual stories that move them for their honesty and beauty.
We invite you to capture this unique moment in Fine Art Photography and look forward to speaking with you about growing your collection soon.

When opening up a new venue, lease negotiations are crucial. Many future problems and costs can be avoided if you give the proposed lease contract a thorough analysis. We asked Dan Pope, co-founder of Voodoo Ray's pizza restaurants and Dalston Superstore in London to give us some useful tips on the way.
1. Licenses and restrictions
− This varies from country to country, but in the UK it is important to look through the premises licence in detail in case there are any restrictions. For example, I have come across licenses that require the sale of cooked food with every alcohol purchase. Or ones that restrict dancing completely, which might be a problem even if you don't plan to open a club… Councils can sometimes be pretty tricky!
2. Planning regulations
− In the UK you also have to deal with planning regulations. A bar needs A4 planning, whereas a shop uses A1. If you plan to convert a former shop into a bar you need to apply to the council for a change of use from A1 to A4, which requires dealing with pretty significant bureaucracy including council hearings and public consultations. This can take many months and needs to be done in addition to obtaining a new premises licence, which is an equally arduous process.
3. Neighbours
− It is also critical to bear neighbours in mind. I would always try to avoid venues in quiet areas with immediate neighbours. Even if you spend a fortune on sound proofing the venue, you still need to take into account the impact of people leaving, gathering on the street. We give people lollipops when they leave, as this makes them talk less loudly!
We give people lollipops when they leave, as this makes them talk less loudly!
4. The time frame
− In terms of time frames to open new sites, the actual contract negotiation takes at least 6-8 weeks. Planning and licensing (if required) take another 2-3 months, assuming everything goes smoothly. The actual building work varies of course greatly depending on the work being done − our projects have varied between 6-16 weeks.

Published at Wednesday, May 08th, 2019 - 20:19:37 PM. Kitchen. By Bernyce Lapierre.
Make sure everything has its rightful place in a drawer or cabinet. This works especially well when you have enough storage space. Then, style the slick counter tops with a bowl of fresh fruit or two, for contrast and modern, chic design. Get it all off the counters and into the shelves. Hang a basket on the wall for the mail and then organize everything us in the no-door cabinets. It's a stylish way to design the kitchen, but also a clean, organized way to have space to cook, bake and entertain on the tops of the counters! All you need is a decorative tray that matched your theme and style genre to help organize, de-clutter and personalize! Keep everything in the corners at bay by using little pieces like this to keep it all focused.
Pastel colours have been running riot over the past year or so. From mint green, to candy pink, to luscious lemon; these shades are enough to make your mouth water. I don't know about you, but I can just picture a doting mother and her daughter baking cupcakes in a kitchen like this. Black and white may seem like a safe option to go for, but when you bring gloss into the equation you not only maximise the shine but the style as well. Monochrome is bold, striking and contemporary, plus it's relatively easy to use as well.

MIAMI --- Absolut Financial Resources arranged a $1.75 million loan to Bag Boy Enterprises LLC who acquired the property for $3MM.
The borrower obtained the services of Absolut Financial Resources for financing a real estate acquisition in Homestead, FL.

Situated at SW 137TH Avenue and SW 260th Street, Miami-Dade County, the property is west of the Turnpike, east of US1 at the south east corner of SW 260th and SW 137 Avenue. Five miles from the new Homestead Baptist Hospital, this area in Homestead has seen tremendous growth with both residential and commercial use. Homestead's real estate market is poised for growth due to existing infrastructure and a lack of land for single-family development in Miami-Dade County.

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #TeamJellO #CollectiveBias
It's football time! This week Alabama plays West Virginia in the Georgia Dome. We're so excited to watch the first game of the season! We'll be ringing it in with some game day food. Each football season we try to add a cool, new item to our football food making, so our family was super excited that Jell-O came out with these awesome JELL-O University Mold Kits and that one was for the University of Alabama! Roll Tide Roll!
Our kit came with 4 packs of Strawberry Jell-O but I bought some Pina Colada flavored Jello-O so we could mix the two flavors together to create an awesome tropical flavored Jell-O Jiggler. I also just "had to have" a nice white color so I could replicate Alabama's colors of crimson and white.
With just a few easy steps you can make these tropical layered Alabama Jell-O Jigglers. First, spray the inside of the Jigglers Molds with cooking spray. Add 2/3 cup of boiling water to the Strawberry Jell-O. Stir for 3 minutes until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Pour the dissolved gelatin into the mold, filling halfway. If you have any Jell-O left over, pour it into a heat safe bowl and refrigerate for an extra treat! Place the molds in the refrigerator for about an hour for the Jell-O to firm up some before adding your second color layer. Next, repeat the process using the Pina Colada Jell-O and refrigerate for 3 hours or until firm. When they're ready to take out of the molds, simply run a knife around the edges of the mold to loosen the gelatin. Unmold them and add them to a plate. You're ready to eat!
Look at the detail! Those are elephants on the left and right of the Alabama "A". It says "Alabama Crimson Tide" around the outside of the "A". It was hard to capture with my camera but every little letter came out perfectly. I was so impressed!
Jell-O University Mold Kits can be found for local University teams at Walmart stores in the cities where they are located but if you want to find a larger variety of schools for purchase you'll need to shop online at Walmart.com. I did! Save money when ordering on-line by using this coupon: SAVE 75¢ on ONE (1) JELL-O University Mold Kit.
Our football food includes these fun football shaped mini burgers! We should probably add some cheese on top for the laces, shouldn't we? Either way, they tasted great! We baked yeast rolls for the buns. YUM!
If you didn't know what big Alabama football fans we are, you do now. LOL! This is our English Mastiff puppy, Saban. She's named after Alabama Coach Nick Saban. You can read more about how she got her name in this post. Oh, yes! She's still a puppy. She turned one in April. She's about 130 lbs right now but will grow to be somewhere between 180 and 220 lbs. Here's some information about her furry family. The greatest thing about her is…she's my perfect furry friend. I love her so much. Plus, she makes me laugh! Here's how she looks if rival Auburn wins. LOL!
Which team or teams are you cheering for this season?

TCML 2019 is an 8-day artistic and professional development workshop for self-identified early-career musicians, ensembles, and composers. During the workshop, participants will attend professional development sessions, and be involved in the rehearsal, recording, and performance of new works.
TCML 2019 will be held from June 8-16, 2019 in Toronto, Canada. Applicants should plan for full-day activities during the workshop. TCML 2019 will be held between two main Toronto venues: 918 Bathurst Centre for Culture, Arts, Media and Education; and the Canadian Music Centre.
Visit our accessibility page to learn more about our venues, and to access printable versions of the TCML 2019 information package—these include a large print version, and a version prepared using OpenDyslexic font.
TCML is a peer-mentored workshop. Applicants will be selected in one of three streams: Performer, Composer, or Ensemble. Click here for full info on the application process. 40 participants will be selected—10 composers and 30 musicians. Each participant will be placed in a composer-ensemble working group to collaborate on a new work. In addition, each participant will augment their experience by sharing their relationship to music through self-directed performances, co-composition/improvisation sessions, and/or audio-visual presentations relating to their practice. Each is detailed below.
Composer-Ensemble working groups
We will create 10 working groups. Each group will include 1 composer and 2-5 musicians, or 1 composer and 1 ensemble. Working groups will participate in TCML-facilitated discussions prior to the workshop that will inform a new 6-minute piece drafted by the composer and developed by the working group.
Working groups are designed to feature unique instrument combinations. The TCML process also places greater emphasis throughout the collaboration on the skills and interests of the individuals, such that pieces are written and developed with the participants, not for their instruments alone. This approach fosters trust and open communication. While at TCML, working groups will have 8.5 hours to develop, rehearse, and rework their new piece, which will be performed in concert and professionally recorded.
Opt-In Activities
In addition to working groups, participants may select up to two of the following activities.
Self-directed solo rehearsal and performance // Participants can choose to engage in 5 hours of individual rehearsal time to prepare a solo piece, which will be presented during a participant sharing session. These sessions will be professionally recorded (audio and video). We will prioritize contemporary works, in particular those written by marginalized artists in chamber music. We suggest that works not exceed 10 minutes.
Co-composition/Improvisation groups // Co-create a piece that can take various forms as determined by the skills, creativity, and personalities taking part in the group. TCML will facilitate pre-workshop discussions to determine a process for the participants in order to adopt an approach to sharing and negotiation that is apart from the composer-ensemble scenario. Guest artists (TBA) will participate in the workshop process during TCML. The co-composition group will present their piece as part of a participant sharing session.
Audio-visual presentations // We invite participants to share a 15-minute presentation that demonstrates their connection to music. This can include case studies in community-based organizing strategies, research interests, and information about their musical output. These presentations can include live performance, provided that no rehearsal time is required.
While we cannot guarantee that all participants receive their first choices of opt-in activities, we will do our best to accommodate all participants' selections.

The Kyivstar telecommunications operator sees no legal grounds to provide free services allowing subscribers to retain their telephone numbers when changing from one mobile communications operator to another.
The press service of Kyivstar announced this to
According to a commentary by Kyivstar's department of regulatory and legal framework, number portability service (transfer of telephone numbers from one network to another) is a telecommunications service and, according to the law "On Telecommunications," operators can set their own tariffs for such services.
"Thus, there is no basis for establishment of MNP (Mobile Number Portability) as a free service under the relevant legal realities without making any changes to the law 'On Telecommunications,'" the company said in the statement.
The press service of the MTS Ukraine mobile operator told Ukrainian News that the operator considers it tempting to provide this service free of charge but provision of any telecommunications services (including this service) involves expenditures that need to be evaluated and establishment of sources of funds for financing them.
The Astelit mobile operator (the life:) brand name) told Ukrainian News that the approach of the National Communications Regulation Commission to introduction of number portability services is fully consistent with Astelit's customer-oriented logic.
As Ukrainian News earlier reported, the National Communications Regulation Commission preliminarily approved on December 23 a draft provision on provision of subscriber number portability services and use of personal numbers, which proposes providing such services free to subscribers.

Sunday 27 July 2014, Paul Vallely, The Independent
The former Chief Rabbi is appalled at the lack of protest about the treatment of Christians round the globe, and so should we be
One woman, at least, is safe. Throughout much of her pregnancy, she had been in prison in Khartoum, capital of the Republic Sudan, living with the dread expectation that she would be hanged once her baby was born. Her crime was that she had married a Christian and been accused by the authorities of apostasy, renouncing her faith, even though she maintained she had never been a Muslim in the first place. On Thursday, Meriam Ibrahim's eight-month ordeal finally ended when she was flown out of the country to Rome where she, and her new baby daughter, met the Pope in the Vatican.
But it has been a different story for the 3,000 Christians of Mosul who were driven from their homes in northern Iraq last week by Islamist fanatics who broadcast a fatwa from the loudspeakers of the city's mosques ordering them to convert to Islam, submit to its rule and pay a religious levy, or be put to death if they stayed. The last to leave was a disabled woman who could not travel. The fanatics arrived at her home and told her they would cut off her head with a sword.
Most people in the West would be surprised by the answer to the question: who are the most persecuted people in the world? According to the International Society for Human Rights, a secular group with members in 38 states worldwide, 80 per cent of all acts of religious discrimination in the world today are directed at Christians.
The Centre for the Study of Global Christianity in the United States estimates that 100,000 Christians now die every year, targeted because of their faith – that is 11 every hour. The Pew Research Center says that hostility to religion reached a new high in 2012, when Christians faced some form of discrimination in 139 countries, almost three-quarters of the world's nations.
All this seems counter-intuitive here in the West where the history of Christianity has been one of cultural dominance and control ever since the Emperor Constantine converted and made the Roman Empire Christian in the 4th century AD.
Yet the plain fact is that Christians are languishing in jail for blasphemy in Pakistan, and churches are burned and worshippers regularly slaughtered in Nigeria and Egypt, which has recently seen its worst anti-Christian violence in seven centuries.
The most violent anti-Christian pogrom of the early 21st century saw as many as 500 Christians hacked to death by machete-wielding Hindu radicals in Orissa, India, with thousands more injured and 50,000 made homeless. In Burma, Chin and Karen Christians are routinely subjected to imprisonment, torture, forced labour and murder.
Persecution is increasing in China; and in North Korea a quarter of the country's Christians live in forced labour camps after refusing to join the national cult of the state's founder, Kim Il-Sung. Somalia, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and the Maldives all feature in the 10 worst places to be a Christian.
A few voices have been raised in the West about all this. The religious historian Rupert Shortt has written a book called Christianophobia. America's most prominent religious journalist, John L Allen Jnr, has just published The Global War on Christians. The former chief rabbi Jonathan Sacks told the House of Lords recently that the suffering of Middle East Christians is "one of the crimes against humanity of our time". He compared it with Jewish pogroms in Europe and said he was "appalled at the lack of protest it has evoked".
Why is this in a culture that is happy to make public protest against the ferocity of the Israeli bombardment of Gaza or the behaviour of Russia in Ukraine?

High captures State bronze
By: BRUCE MORGAN Record Express Sports Editor, Staff Writer
The noisier, the better.
That's the mindset of Aerika High when she is competing on the bowling lanes.
So last Friday, as she reached the step-ladder finals in the Pennsylvania State High School Girls Championships, the Manheim Central senior was absolutely hating the silence which engulfed Dutch Lanes in Akron.
"During the first six games (in the qualifying round), all the lanes are on and you can't hear anything," High said. "Then during the step-ladders, there's only your lane on and the guys' lane on and you don't hear a sound coming from anyone … I sat down and my legs were shaking back and forth, so I turned to my coach and said, 'I can't sit down, I'm too nervous.' I had to stand up the entire time."
She channeled that nervousness to defeat Seneca Valley's Sara Ahlgren 205-160 in her opening-round match and then went on to knock off Norwin's Taylor Trump 229-197 in the quarter-final round.
That propelled High into the State semi-finals against Victoria Smith, of Gateway. Unfortunately for the Central star, however, she fell just one win short of the finals, dropping a 197-181 loss and taking home the State bronze. Smith went on to lose 234-187 to Hempfield's top-seeded Justyne Falbo.
"Everyone has their disappointing moments," High said. "I definitely thought I could have beat (Smith) in the semi-finals. I ended up leaving the 7/10 split, so that doesn't help you out very much. That kinda just made me mad. I felt pretty good about the way I was bowling."
As a junior, High placed seventh in the qualifying round at the State Championships. Only the top five advanced to the step-ladder finals, so she missed it by just two spots.
Bowling at Dutch Lanes this year certainly didn't hurt her in advancing to the step-ladder finals for the first time.
"I was confident going in there knowing it was my favorite bowling alley and I could do well," High said, "so I think it definitely helped in my favor for that."
Last Saturday, after the disappointment of losing in the semi-finals evaporated, she was able to appreciate her State bronze medal a little bit more.
"I feel disappointed about (losing), but at the same time, it's just a huge accomplishment to even get third," she said. "So I let that sink in after awhile."
It was a huge accomplishment for High to place fourth in the qualifying round on Friday with a six-game score of 1196. That was eight pins ahead of fifth-place Ahlgren and 66 behind third-place Trump. Falbo and Smith finished 1-2 with 1284 and 1272, respectively.
High was in third place through her first four games with scores of 197-178-199-214. Falbo was second at that same point, but High responded in the fifth game with a 224, winning by five pins over Falbo (219), who was bowling on the same lane.
"I was just trying to beat (Falbo) and she had like, five or six strikes in a row," High said. "And I wasn't striking consecutively."
Eventually, though, Falbo began to leave a few open frames, and High struck out from the eighth frame on, lifting her to the fifth-game win.
"I knew she was my competition," High said, "so it was very competitive."
High dipped to a 184 in her sixth and final game, but it was good enough to punch her ticket to the step-ladder finals.
"I was pleased about the games that were in the 200's, but the whole way through, I knew I was in it, so I really couldn't be disappointed," she said. "It was more just keeping my head in it, not thinking, 'I'm going to make it in the top five," get to my head. I did that every other year and I totally tanked then. I put too much pressure on myself."
Using the same ball that she threw in her six qualifying games, High won her first two matches in the qualifying round by an average of 38.5 pins. Then in the semi-finals, leaving that 7/10 split in the fifth game proved to be one that she would have liked back in her match against Smith.
"Nothing was carrying for me that game and (Smith) was carrying everything," High said. "I think I could have definitely beat her, so I'm a little disappointed."
With her scholastic bowling career behind her now, High, softball recruit at Wagner University is looking forward to her senior season on the diamond.
"I've been standing outside for the first two weeks (of pre-season practice) not being able to do anything," she said, "so I just really wanted to get into the softball season." More HIGH, page B-2


text: #1.0 This guide is for use on un-rooted and rooted phones. The following procedures from #1.3 onwards can also be used on non Lollipop firmwares. Please take the time to read post #1, #2 and #3 through, carefully and thoroughly, before posting. Introduction Without a doubt, the upgrade to Android 5, Lollipop, is one of the biggest things to happen to Android since its launch. Make no mistake... this is a major firmware upgrade and it introduces a number of new features, not the least of which is ART, (Android RunTime), that replaces Dalvik and which, from my own experience, improves battery life and performance considerably. In a nutshell, Dalvik is a JIT, (Just In Time), compiler that operates on each app as it is needed whilst ART does it all just the once, Ahead Of Time, (AOT). This is why, after the initial update, the first boot will take a lot longer than usual whilst ART optimizes each app for the first time. This saves both battery and improves performance. For more information on ART see, Android Runtime. #1.1 The 3 important things to do NOW, before any update are... BACKUP, BACKUP and BACKUP everything on your phone's internal and external, memory. You have been warned! For more information on backing up, see #2.1 (Don't come crying on here if you have failed to take this very, basic, sensible precaution with your valuable data... you've only got yourself to blame! ) #1.2 Why you may be experiencing problems ART does not come without a price and that price is space on your phone's internal memory. Since ART compiles in advance it requires, roughly, about 10% more memory than Dalvik. Therefore, if your phone's internal memory is already chock-a-block full you should make some space as I predict that lack of space will cause more than a few problems initially with this update! Also, when you upgrade not only is the firmware changed but all your app's and settings have to be reconfigured and integrated into the new upgrade during the process. This is in an attempt by Samsung to retain everything on your phone so that you do not have to set it all up again after the change. If you stop and think about the millions of app's and the myriad of settings that this has to take into account then maybe you can understand why there are sometimes problems with phones after new firmware is installed. Some of these problems are caused by app's or settings that are not suitable for the new firmware. Remember, not all app's/games on the Play Store may be compatible with your new firmware yet. This is down to the developers of those apps who have had 6+ months notice to update them. Most have, some have not. Other app's, that work on your existing firmware, have to be updated for the new one, if possible, during the change over. No mean feat... particularly if you've moved apps to your SD card as the system folders for these apps will usually remain on your internal storage and this can cause big problems with separated app and data. These problems can manifest themselves in all sorts of ways, such as... Boot loops App's continually running High battery usage Over heating Storage being eaten up Forced Closes Screen lags High RAM usage Screen freezes Shut-downs These can all occur because the user app's or data have not, or can not, be integrated successfully into the new framework automatically during the change over. Also, the downloaded firmware update itself may have been corrupted. This can easily happen with OTA, (Over The Air), updates where an interruption has occurred with the download. This has also been reported by some who have used the Samsung PC suite, Kies. Steps #1.3 -> #2.7 can be carried out by users, as they will resolve most update issues, prior to posting. #1.3 Wiping the Cache Partition Wiping the cache partition is a useful option to use, particularly after a firmware update as it will clear out any rubbish left over from the previous firmware. It can also get you out of problems if you are experiencing a boot loop. This is, again, very simple to do and does not affect any user data on your phone. See video... Wipe cache partition error on Samsung Galaxy S4 Step #1 Turn your phone OFF. Step #2 Boot into Recovery Mode:- Press and hold, simultaneously, the Volume UP + Power buttons until you see some small, blue, writing appear in the top left hand corner of the screen and release immediately. Step #3 You will then see the small, stock, Recovery menu. Using the Volume UP and DOWN buttons, navigate to the menu item, "wipe cache", or, "wipe cache partition", depending on your model. Step #4 Once the option is highlighted you can use the Power key to enact the wipe and reboot your phone. #1.4 Safe Mode: Is it Firmware or User App problems? Safe Mode on your phone is roughly the same as on you PC. It will boot your phone up and load only the default apps that came with the firmware. It does not install your own downloaded apps. Can also be useful for getting out of a bootloop and allowing you to un-install a problem app. This is very useful for determining whether the firmware is to blame for your problems or if it is down to your own apps and settings. This is not a dangerous procedure and can be done very easily. See the following video... Galaxy S4 Tips and Tricks Android Safemode Boot If you encounter the problems whilst in Safe Mode this would indicate that you probably have a bad update and should refer to #2.7 in post #2. #1.5 User Apps: Wiping cache, data and uninstalling Sometimes a particular app or apps that you have installed, are causing problems and are shown to be doing so, on the phone. In the first instance, you can go to... Settings > More > Applications > Downloaded (The route may vary depending on your model of phone and firmware). Step #1 Navigate to the user app, (see *** for System apps), that you believe is the problem and open it and select, "Clear cache". This will clear the apps temporary cache and you can see if that has helped. See video on cache clearing... Wipe cache partition error on Samsung Galaxy S4 Step #2 If not, you can repeat the above steps and this time select, "Clear data". This will clear your user settings for this app and you will need to re-enter the settings again. Check to see if this has solved your problem. Step #3 If not, repeat Step #1 but this time, "Clear cache", "Clear data", and, "Uninstall", the app. Reboot your phone and, if desired, re-install the app from the Google Play Store and re-configure the settings. *** WARNING! Step #1 can also be used on System apps but be very careful about using Step #2 unless you know exactly what you are doing and Step #3 and/or, "Disabling", apps can be extremely dangerous and render your phone a brick on System apps. #1.6 Battery re-calibration Sometimes, after receiving an update, users complain that their battery is being eaten up. This is quite common as the update can affect the battery chip in the phone, causing it to give unreliable readings. These readings usually self correct over a number of charge cycles however, you can re-calibrate your battery by downloading, free from the Play Store, Battery Calibration and following the simple instructions in the app. This should not be used on a regular basis as the battery should never be fully discharged normally. #1.7 Uninstall any Task Killers You do not need to run task killers on Android and they can cause more problems and a lag in performance... Putting to rest the myths about Task Killers/RAM Optimizers and the like Android Task Killers Explained: What They Do and Why You Shouldn't Use Them #1.8 Speed up a laggy, slow, phone Whilst I do not consider this a fix as such, much in the same way as an aspirin is not a fix for a broken leg, it does help to compensate for any phones that may experience an undue lag in performance, particularly some of the heavier carrier branded models. It requires that you unhide the hidden, "Developer options", menu and alter some of the settings and is very easy and safe to do. Step #1 Go to... Settings > System About device > Build number. Step #2 Tap on Build number 7 times and, "Developer options", will be turned on. Use the, "Back", key to exit and you will now have, "Developer options", turned on and showing before, "About device". Step #3 Go down the list in, "Developer options", until you see.. Window animation scale Transition animation scale Animator duration scale By default, these are set to *1. However, to speed things up, you can select 0.5* on all of the above. This will double the speed of your various animations and make the phone feel snappier. See a video on this... Samsung Galaxy S4 Developer Options Menu If you have tried all the above and your phone is still not right, you will need to do a Factory Data Reset, as shown in the next post, #2.

Why choose alternative cancer treatment instead of conventional medicine? Because conventional medicine is the treatment of choice for acute emergencies but the term chronic health conditions that most people no longer suffer. To cure the symptoms of chronic conditions or diseases, you should treat the cause and not the effect. The effect is a symptom, condition or disease, the cause is unbalanced environment physical and mental/emotional. When the system is blocked and the body in balance and when the internal homeostasis in physical environment and mental/emotional toxins have been released then the body will do what God designed to perform, heal naturally.
Mankind has long sought the secrets of having a healthier physical and spiritual. Be healthy in body, mind and emotions and stay like that created by Christian health lifestyle along with alternative health techniques. Many people who have suffered due to illness or disease have recovered their health after consideration of alternative cancer treatments, and live a long life with abundant energy and vitality.
It is important to understand that the alternative cancer treatment have a purpose to heal the body and mind naturally. The World Health Organization defines health as a State of physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or weakness.

We've come to our final week of the Feathered Star QAL!
Congratulations if you are caught up! Congratulations if you're still hanging in there! Congratulations if you're waiting for the right timing to dig in! The point is, you've challenged yourself to do a difficult thing and I admire that. It's so worthwhile to push yourself and learn new skills, I salute you!
Week Nine instructions: Use the Feathered Star QAL pattern to assemble the quilt top.
Before endeavoring to construct the top, make sure all of your papers are removed from the paper piecing stars and the appropriate sashing strips have been sewn onto the feathered stars according to the pattern. This will make assembly go smoothly!
Start on page 11 of the Feathered Star QAL pattern to begin assembling the Bonus Stars and follow the remainder of the pattern paying VERY special attention to the diagrams.
To get great results: go slow, take one step at a time, check and re-check your sewing in relation to the diagrams, PIN CAREFULLY AND FREQUENTLY, sew and press with care.
My focus has now shifted to quilting and to be honest, I'm stumped! I'm sure something will come to me and when it does, I'd love to share ideas with you!
Question: HOW PERFECT IS THIS PIN?! Anneliese of Eye Candy Quilts generously provided this enamel pin for me to giveaway! It's adorable and precious and perfect for this crowd! ;)
In the last two newsletters that I sent out to the QAL participants, I asked them to share progress photos using certain hashtags and today I used a random number generator to pick the recipient. Kristen Lee was the winner! Congrats, Kristen!!
Kristen has posted many progress photos, but here's just one beautiful example:
I'm not exaggerating when I say that my favorite thing is seeing the beautiful things that you make with my patterns. It's so awesome! Thank you for sharing photos and inspiring us all!
From Janet MacIntyre:
I get excited every single time Chris Simon shares her work, too! ;) Here's just one of her beauties:
It's safe to say that I might hyperventilate as these quilt tops begin to emerge. And I welcome that!
Thank you so much to everyone who has participated in this QAL. It wouldn't have been much fun without you! I am considering hosting another QAL over the winter months (snowflakes?) so make sure to sign up for my newsletter (if you're not already) to hear about any developments. If a busy summer schedule wasn't ideal for you, perhaps a winter QAL would be better?
Hop on over to my closed Facebook group to join the discussion, share pictures, ask questions, get encouragement. We are a community and we'd love to help you out!

Aviation History
PARIS REPORT Pan Am goes firm on 28 Airbuses Pan American vice-president Gerry Gitner flew in from New York and went straight to Le Bourgetto make Airbus Indus trie's most spectacular Show announcement. The airline has signed its contract for $1,100 million-worth of A310s and A320s (today's prices, subject to escalation), and the deal puts options on another $1,600 million-worth of the European consortium's aero planes. The order is for 12 A310-300s and 16 A320s, with options on another 13 and 34 respectively. Pan Am is the first US carrier to order these Airbus types, and when deliv ery is complete the airline intends to operate just a three- type fleet: the two Airbuses and Boeing 747s. This signing marks the culmination of nine months of intense legal discussion over the terms of the order, which allows Pan Am to interchange or substitute different Airbus types as market changes dictate. Delivery of the A310- 300s begins in mid-1987, and of the A320s in mid-1989. The A320s will be powered by IAE V.2500 engines, and the A310s by Pratt & Whitney PW4000s. Financing will be "through normal commercial channels and will involve no export credit", Pan Am says. Gitner says that he has been pleased with the performance of Airbus aircraft which Pan Am has been leasing in the meantime. % Two of Pan American's leased A300s are based in Tokyo, operating hubbed services (three-class cabin) to Manila, Shanghai, Peking, and Seoul. On June 1 Sing apore Airlines started its first non-stop Singapore- Mauritius service using A310-200s. The distance is nearly 4,000 n.m., mostly over water. ATR.ST launched Aerospatiale and Aeritalia have announced the launching of their new ATR42 stretched version, the ATR.ST 60- 70-seater planned for service entry in 1988. The new Franco- Italian regional airliner is a direct rival to British Aero space's ATP and Fokker's F.50. Aeritalia and Aerospatiale are projecting sales of 400-500 for their basic ATR42 airliner, which goes into commercial service this November. They expect to sell 500-600 of the stretched version and its cargo and military derivatives. The ATR.ST will be powered by two Pratt & Commonality between ATR42 and ATR.ST The single-seat IA.58C Pucara is based on experience of anti-helicopter operations in the Falklands Whitney Canada PW124 engines, the same powerplant as the ATP and Fokker 50 are to use. The main change besides adding fuselage sections to the basic ATR42 is increased wingspan, the wing area grow ing from 592ft2 to 657ft2. On a typical 200 n.m. mission in ISA conditions, block fuel-burn is set at 539kg (1,1881b), with block time 55min. The ATR42 and the new ATR.ST are to have the same cockpit concepts: push-button technology, colour-coded dark cockpit, and digital avionics package. China 146 deal confirmed British Aerospace has clinched its $ 150 million deal for the sale of ten BAe 146-100s to the China Aviation Supplies Corporation (CASC). Deliv eries of the 86-seat airliner will begin in June next year, and initially the aircraft will oper ate on regional services linking Lanzhou in China's Central Uplands with Chengau and Lhasa (which is at 11,000ft) in Tibet. The Chinese are understood to have pushed through a tough bargain with BAe, and will probably receive some offset trade as a result. Orders for the 146 have now reached 52 for 11 operators. 0 BAe announced the sale of a 146 to Indonesia for use by President Suharto. Pucara with more punch Fabrica Militar de Aviones is producing a single-seat vari ant of its IA.58 Pucara to meet an Argentine Air Force requirement. The IA.58C is not suggested as a new build, but as a retrofit option for the two-seat IA.58A. The first IA.58C Pucara is expected to fly "before Christmas". The front cockpit of the aircraft is removed and replaced by a new nose section with a 30mm Defa cannon and 250 rounds of ammunition, and retaining the two 20mm cannon with 270 rounds of ammunition, plus either two or four 7 • 62mm machine guns with 900 rounds. The 7 • 62mm guns will be used mainly for training shoots, and FMA says that it is therefore likely that the two-year option will be taken. Underwing pylons can be used for either missiles or bombs, or for electronic coun- termeasures pods. The IA.58C will be fitted with a Saab RGS-2 sight, with automatic compensation for air-to-air or air-to-surface missiles giving a continuously computed impact point. FMA will also update the avionics suite with a new HSI/ADI, VOR/ILS, two VHF (AM and FM), and one HF radio and radar altimeter. Optional extras are an Omega VLF navigation system, IFF, and a radar warning receiver. FLIGHT International, 8 June 1985

Best Tablet
Tablets were initially marketed as the "missing link" between smartphones and traditional computers, combining the instant access of the former with the more usable size of the latter. Since then, tablets have evolved to become the poster child for multi-tasking. Each of these tablets is extremely well-suited for general use, and offers plenty of support in terms of apps and content for just about any purpose.
Best Tablet Overall:
The current generation of tablets neatly bridges the gap between smart phones and laptops, combining the best of both worlds into a single easy-to-use device. All of the following tablets are suitable for all-around use, and more than justify their often premium price tags.
We've taken into account overall performance, in terms of everything from camera quality to whether the tablet responds quickly and is capable of running different types of apps. We've also ensured that each of our picks offers excellent usability and convenience, making the most out of their portable and versatile nature. App support and overall quality are also very important as most tablets are a considerable investment, and should be able to last well beyond when the next model is released.
iPad Air 2
Apple's new iPad Air 2 offers improved performance and cameras over its predecessor, while including fingerprint scanning and packing everything into an even smaller and lighter design. If you're willing to pay the premium price, the iPad Air 2 has allowed Apple to retain its position as the makers of the best tablet current on the market. Read Full Review
Samsung Galaxy Tab S
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S offers a thin and lightweight design, a stunning screen, and excellent all-around performance. If you're prepared to pay more for a premium tablet that represents the best Android tablets currently have to offer, this is the one to go for. Read Full Review
iPad Mini 3
Whereas the previous iPad Mini model was essentially a compact version of the iPad Air, the iPad Mini 3 has received only minor upgrades. This smaller Apple tablet is, at the end of the day, an iPad Mini 2 with a gold finish option and the inclusion of Touch ID fingerprint scanning. If the smaller size and slightly lower price tag than the iPad Air 2 appeal to you more than having the latest processor and technology, this tablet remains an excellent choice. Read Full Review
Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 Tablet
Amazon's Kindle Fire tablets have proven to be the closest to a relentless thorn in the Apple iPad's side. The Fire HDX 8.9 is no exception, rolling out performance that is on par in many ways with the new iPad Air while maintaining a substantially lower price. While you miss out on Apple's app market and Google Play, if your planned use for your tablet does not align with those anyway, Amazon's content ecosystem has plenty to offer. Read Full Review
Microsoft Surface Pro 3
The Surface Pro 3 is Microsoft's latest version of their device meant to replace both your tablet and your laptop - suitable for work and for entertainment. Although most users will probably find that the Surface Pro 3 won't be able to fully replace a laptop, this latest version still has plenty to offer. A large screen, thin and light design, and good all-around performance make this convenient tablet an increasingly strong contender. Read Full Review
Best Budget Tablet:
Budget tablets have evolved significantly in the past few years, becoming one of the most hotly contested market segments amongst manufacturers. These devices often provide performance that mirrors a more expensive counterpart, with the biggest difference coming down to screen sizes.
Each of these budget-oriented tablets offers solid build quality and present valid alternatives to tablets costing hundreds of dollars more. We've ensured that each of the following tablets is suited for general use, although some are designed with a specific purpose in mind such as gaming or media viewing.
Kindle Fire HDX 7
The Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7 offers excellent overall performance, with a lightweight and portable design that lends itself very well to heavy media consumption. This tablet is one of the best available at this price point, especially when paired with an Amazon Prime membership. Read Full Review
Google Nexus 7 Tablet by ASUS
Google's enormously capable Nexus 7 tablet starts at just $230 for the 16GB version, making it an extremely high-value proposition. The latest version Nexus 7 works seamlessly with Google Play and comes with multiple features that make it ready to go right out of the box. Read Full Review
NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet
The Nvidia Shield Tablet was designed with gaming in mind, combining a solid display, powerful processor, and plenty of features for multiple gaming options. Although this tablet is somewhat bulkier than a non-gaming counterpart, it nonetheless offers good all-around performance in a compact and portable package. Read Full Review
EVGA Tegra Note 7
While the EVGA Tegra Note 7 shines most for gaming applications, it offers stout enough performance to make it suited for all-around use. The primary appeal of this tablet outside of its gaming capabilities is its excellent stylus performance for such as affordable price. Read Full Review
ASUS Transformer Pad TF103C
Despite a somewhat cheap-feeling keyboard and a thick design for the tablet itself, the Asus Transformer TF103C offers excellent basic hybrid tablet functionality for an affordable price. If you want a basic, well-performing tablet with the added convenience of a keyboard dock, this is a good choice. Read Full Review
- NancyCL
I'm considering buying a tablet, but am somewhat technologically dumb! Can someone give me info on what I can do on a tablet? Can I access everything I can on a desktop or laptop...i.e., email, surf the net, MS Word, music, movies, books take photos, etc.? Also, do tablets require contracts like cell phones? I don't imagine you can use one as a phone too, can you? Is there a product out there that does everything? Thanks for any help you can offer.Posted on 7/25/2011 12:02 pm |

Jorge Sampaoli: 'It appears that I will not be Chilean coach anymore'
Jorge Sampaoli has confirmed he no longer wants to coach the Chilean national team, but says the details of his exit clause are delaying his official departure.
Former Universidad de Chile boss Sampaoli had caused a stir on Monday by claiming he was being held "like a hostage, against my will," and that he "would not want to work or live in the country," setting off speculation that he would resign as manager.

The 2015 Copa America winner addressed those comments in a news conference earlier on Wednesday, insisting rumours of him wanting out were untrue.
However hours after saying he wanted to stay, Sampaoli made a U-turn, confirming in a follow-up interview with Fox Sports that he indeed wants out as Chile coach.
"It appears that I will not be Chilean coach anymore," Sampaoli told Fox on Wednesday night.
"I hope I can persuade [Football Federation of Chile president Arturo] Salah so he can understand my point.
"It is impossible for me to pay the clause."
The 55-year-old insisted his position with the national team was untenable, and that he explained his situation to Salah.
Added Sampaoli: "I have explained to Salah that the conditions are not suitable for me to stay as Chilean coach."
Earlier in the day, Sampaoli defiantly stated his intention to remain with the team, blaming "malicious people" who wanted to see him out as manager for stirring up controversy.
"I think that Chilean society has to know the truth," Sampaoli said.
"It is not true I do not want to live or work in Chile ... I experienced unforgettable moments [here] ... and [I] plan to continue living in Santiago.
"My contract was leaked and my confidentiality violated to damage my image and that of the country. It is speculated that [I] had accounts with tax havens and [that] made me look like a person who evaded taxes, but official bodies publicly [denied] this information.
"All this has affected me too. I'm part of a successful process, not an idol, but a party that delivered the best [results] to create ... joy [for] the country.
"I want to say that this situation was not created by me, but by malicious people who want me out of the [national team set-up]. They tried to harm me and the country."
