Sailorway student Molly Wade breaks record and wins archery championship

By: Melanie Williamson
What started as something fun to do on a Saturday has turned into a passion for one young girl. Two years ago, Molly Wade and her father went to Bad Boy Bait and Tackle on a Saturday to try archery as something different to do together. She shared that neither of them had ever done this before and it sounded fun. Wade quickly realized she was actually quite good at it, so they kept going. Soon, she had her own bow and was going several days a week.
Last year, at the age of 11, she competed in the 10- to 12-year-ol d age group at the Ohio Archery Association state competition and won all seven events. Wade stated that it wasn't really competitive for her.
In light of her accomplishment, this year she competed in the 15- to 17-year-old group and has come in first in two out of three events and second in the third event. In doing so, she beat the state record scoring a 290 out of 300 possible points. She explained that during the event, all the competitors shoot at the same time. They go through 12 rounds and shoot five arrows in each round for a total of 60 arrows. Depending on how well they shoot, they can earn up to five points per arrow. She has four more state events coming up that she is eager to participate in.
In the meantime, she traveled to Cincinnati for a national competition that was held Saturday, March 17 and Sunday, March 18. In the national competition, she came in fourth in second flight. She shared that there were archers there from all over the world.
When asked how she feels about being a state champion, she shared, "it's always a surprise…it makes you feel really good knowing you're first in the state." Wade currently has two sponsors; Wickstick Stabalizers and Bad Boy Bait and Tackle, but she hopes to continue achieving and getting larger sponsors because this will allow her to travel and go to more competitions. She shared that while she isn't really sure what she wants to do as an adult yet, being a professional archer is something she thinks about.
She went on to say that competing in archery has allowed her to make a lot of great friends from all over the state and beyond. She has also had the opportunity to meet many amazing people including Levy Morgan, who she described as being the best archer in the world.
She stated that the success and the expectations that come along with it can be a little overwhelming. However, she feels she has a lot of support. She said her family, her friends, and her teachers have all been very supportive. She was happy to share that her younger sister, who is eight, has also started shooting.

It has been a busy time for me. For the past few weeks I've been splitting my time at SOE between three different game projects.
Two of them are new projects that I can't talk about yet. I'm very excited about both of them (and think know you will be too!) and look forward to being able to talk more freely about them. One was a temporary post while waiting for the second to ramp up. Now that it has I will be transitioning to it full time.
The third is the project that I've been working on for over four years: EverQuest II. However, with the new project my involvement on EverQuest II is shrinking. My official title has moved away from Technical Director on EverQuest II to being the Technical Director on one of the new projects. Don't worry though: the EverQuest II programming team is in the hands of the very capable Greg "Rothgar" Spence. Plus I fully expect to be available to the EverQuest II team for questions and technical direction for a while to come.
I'm currently finishing up my last task with EverQuest II. This last hurrah is designed to do something very important--increase exposure to EverQuest II. I've been personally involved with nearly every change to EQII's trial program over the past four years, but this is the one I'm the most excited about.
EverQuest II is a very large game. Overwhelming content from the get-go followed by five (Soon™ to be six) expansions have conspired to create a client footprint of about 10GB. Yikes! That takes hours upon hours to download even on pretty fast connections. As my last task, I'm working on reducing the initial download down to about 60MB (which is barely a blip with broadband) and streaming the rest as the client needs it.
A few things make this possible. First, the fetching technology that we're using was first pioneered by the incredible talent on the Free Realms team. This made it much faster for us to get on-demand fetching up and running since they had already done the legwork and experimentation. Second, the fetches are nothing more than HTTP GETs which allows us to distribute all of EverQuest II's 500,000+ individual assets over a very fast CDN. Using a CDN means that we don't have to develop, test, distribute and manage our own file serving solution which obviously would take more time. Third, EverQuest II already has a fairly robust asynchronous resource-loading system that was fairly easy to extend with remote file fetching.
Getting asset fetching in place was really only the beginning of the story. My time since then has been focused on heuristics for prefetching the next assets the client will need and reducing some dependencies on synchronous IO (which would appear to "lock up" the client until the needed assets were fetched). These challenges are far more complicated, but the challenge is welcome!
It's been a great four+ years on EverQuest II, and I look forward to getting people playing after downloading a mere 60MB.
That's really quite excellent news.
I was quite impressed with the way Free Realms streamed data as needed and was wondering if that was going to make it into any other SOE games. I didn't expect to see it added to established titles.
That's awesome news, I'm impressed!
Hope your new project is just as amazing.

Malta: PM Joseph Muscat announces resignation amidst murder allegations
Maltese MP expected to resign as journalist murder case deepens - (image via bbc/youtube)
The allegations stem from the death of a prominent anti-corruption journalist.
by Samantha Spencer (article) and Anne Sewell (video)

Malta Prime Minister Joseph Muscat resigns amidst murder allegations - Video
Joseph Muscat has been a prominent politician in Malta for over a decade. He had been reportedly planning on retiring from political office in the near future. However, retirement seems to be coming earlier than had been expected.
In 2017, Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia was murdered. She was noted for her drive to expose and eliminate corruption. Muscat had promised that justice would be done, as The Christian Science Monitor reports. But an investigation has found possible links to the case that hit close to home for Muscat.
Wealthy businessman arrested, Muscat's chief of staff and two government ministers implicated
On November 30th, Maltese businessman Yorgen French was indicted. He is alleged to have taken part in the plot to murder Caruana Galizia. Earlier in the month, French has apparently been trying to flee the country. But he was stopped by the Maltese military.
Caruana Galizia had previously written about a mysterious company called 17 Black that French owns. She also alleged that there were links between the company and a number of Maltese political figures.
The allegations include bribery and corruption.
After being taken into custody, French made an accusation of his own, according to the BBC. He claimed that the murder was organized by Keith Schembri, Joseph Muscat's chief of staff. In the time since then, Schembri has resigned from his position. Two members of Muscat's Cabinet have also been implicated in the crime. One of them has resigned from his Cabinet position, but he remains a member of the Parliament.
Earlier in 2017, Caruana Galizia published claims about Muscat and his wife, Michelle. According to Caruana Galizia, the prime minister's wife owns an offshore company that was receiving illegal payments.
As the year rolled on, multiple major events occurred. One of them was Muscat winning a second term as prime minister. Four months later, Caruana Galizia was killed.
Soon after reports about the possible connections between Muscat and Caruana Galizia's death, calls began for his resignation.
At first, he resisted. But the public outcry persisted and eventually became too much. In a televised address, he announced that he would step down next month.
Muscat has been prime minister since 2013
Muscat rose to prominence in Malta as a journalist. His opinions could be found in print, on television and over the radio. Despite having been openly opposed to Malta joining the European Union, he would be elected to the European Parliament.
In 2008, he became the leader of the Labour Party. Shortly thereafter, he also became the leader of the opposition in the Parliament.

"Fagots Stay Out"
Thirty years. More, thirty-two, almost. No family. No responsibilities beyond a job I loathed. Nothing to do after work but cruise down Santa Monica Boulevard in my 1963 Volvo P1800, maybe grab a few beers and a bowl of chili.
A long time gone by, drop by drop. Yet it can can come surging back at the oddest times.
For instance.
Things were quiet on Wednesday, so rather than cab it back from lunch on North Michigan Avenue, I strolled the great boulevard. Kids were out in those jackets with the "=" equality sign on them—gay rights— raising money, or gathering signatures or whatever it is they do. I thought up a pithy line in case one came up to me—"You've already won, haven't you?"—but nobody approached me and I walked on, suddenly thinking of Barney's Beanery.
If you lived in Los Angeles, as I did 32 years ago, you know the famous bar with the green and white striped awning, right where Santa Monica Boulevard veers southward, just before it intersects with La Cienega. Opened in 1927, Barney's was a dive with a past: Charles Bukowski drank there. And Clark Gable. Erroll Flynn too. Clara Bow. Bob Dylan. Just about anybody who was anybody in LA. Janis Joplin ate her last meal here, supposedly. The Doors' Jim Morrison once urinated on the bar, and he and Joplin once got into a fist fight with each other here.
I knew of the place, vaguely, through a Tom Petty song, "Louisiana Rain," that has a line "Singing to the jukebox, in some all-night beanery." I'm not sure if Petty was referring to this specific all-night beanery (West Hollywood was not incorporated in 1982, so niceties like closing hours tended to be looser there). But it was enough to get me inside, and I stayed for the chili and the late hours and the convenient pool tables. I liked to stand at the bar on a Friday, sip my beer, hope to meet somebody, maybe, toward that end, get some quarters and treat myself to a solitary game of pool.
So what's the connection between gay rights and this Los Angeles bar? When I frequented Barney's Beanery, in the early 1980s, their distinctive red matchbooks looked like this on the front—I didn't have to grab the image online, but just ducked down into the basement, where I have a big glass apothecary jar filled with dozens and dozens of the matches I once collected as little trophies of my travels and reminders of boisterous times.
Flip the matchbook over, however, and you find this.
From the 1940s onward, Barney's had a sign reading "FAGOTS STAY OUT" in large letters behind the bar and, obviously, on their matches. The story was that in the 1940s there had been a police raid on homosexual acts in the bathrooms at Barney's, and the owner wanted to avoid that kind of thing. Times changed, and there had been protests, around 1970, but they didn't stick. We patrons didn't think much about it—I wasn't a faggot, so didn't mind, and what thought I gave to the matter was sort of a unspoken satisfaction, almost a pride. It was unusual, quirky. I remember thinking the slogan was part of the ambience, a sign that this was a genuine, authentic place, a tough dive that wasn't about to let itself be taken over by a bunch of pansies.
I was 22.
Shortly after I moved back to Chicago, West Hollywood incorporated, and passed an anti-discrimination ordinance. Barney's Beanery took the sign down, and got new matches.
A sign of just how alien that idea is now, when I looked at the matches after all these years, I was struck more by the curious spelling—"fagots"—than the odiousness of the expression. It's a relic of times that are gone, thank God, and never coming back, nothing more. I think a lot of people are like that, still, today. Not so much they are haters as oblivious, which is why education like that being offered by the equality kids on Michigan Avenue is still important. Despite all our clear progress, we aren't as far away from "FAGOTS STAY OUT" as we like to think. You don't have to be a hater to be part of the problem, all you have to do is eat your chili and go with the flow.
Before I returned the matchbook to its glass reliquary, I admired it and, for no particular reason, opened it up, and got a surprise. This:
So I must have met somebody there. Who was "Dina"? No idea. "312"—a Chicago number. Maybe I was still carrying the matches, trying to show off my worldliness, after I got back in Chicago. "Yup, just got back from LA." That sounds like my style. Maybe it was a Chicagoan I met one night in the bar at Barney's. Some things are too effaced by time to retrieve. It'll have to remain a mystery. Probably a good thing, too.
Laws don't keep people from hating or breaking them.
The first time I was called a "fag" was on Halsted Street near Roscoe's.
You don't have to be "gay" to violated.
And, of course, it was a punk bitch group of asses in a car: driving northbound at Halstead and Addison. Nice city.
As for L.A., their gay bars on Highway 1 in Santa Monica circa 2007 are kinda scary.
But always good for a good chat, nice people, and a friendly smile.
H. Ula.
David P. Graf May 15, 2014 at 6:55 PM
I think you are far too optimistic about the battle being over and done with.
Hey man. If you have a duplicate matchbook I'd pay you good folding for it.
Neil Steinberg January 29, 2017 at 8:46 AM
What's your idea of "good"?
Tony Galati May 15, 2018 at 2:03 PM
Now, in the age of Trump, the oblivious are sliding back into the slough of hatred. It ain't over yet.
Grizz 65 May 15, 2018 at 7:31 PM
Damn betcha it ain't over...otherwise, you wouldn't still have a market for "ally" flags...they are half black-and-white, and half-rainbow. I have never actually seen one flying, but they are available online, and since my wife and I both have large extended families and can count the number of gay relatives on both hands, I've thought of buying and flying one.
But people in my neighborhood would probably start calling ME a faggot, and even worse. The skinhead clown across the street just replaced his flagpole with an even bigger one, and has run up a Blue Lives Matter banner, which he now flies 24/7.
My ally flag might even tend to piss him off enough to cause problems, and I don't know how much firepower he might have. We have never spoken, and now we probably never will.
When the schmidt hits the spam in these Untied Snakes, Version 2.0 will be fought over many issues and differences, not just one or two, as Version 1.0 was. And just like the last time, 2.0 will become up-close and personal, and it will get very ugly very quickly.

The Russian Kettlebell Challenge (RKC) is the worlds pioneering and leading Kettlebell certification course. The list of amazing athletes and coaches that have been developed through Dragon Door and Pavel Tsatsouline's RKC curriculum include Steve Cotter, Jeff Martone, Kenneth Jay and Mike Mahler to name a few.
No current Australian certification courses can even closely compare to the standard set by Dragon Door and the RKC.
Be warned. Most current martial arts clubs, gyms, outdoor based group fitness groups and personal training sessions using kettlebells in South Australia, along with most current Australian PDP accredited certification courses are taught by individuals with no formal education or certification in this area. They have learnt from DVD's and books just as we did prior to making the effort and taking the expense to travel and learn from the world's leading coach.
The Head Coach is one of only 6 RKC (Russian Kettlebell Challenge) certified instructors in Australia and the only trainer currently certified by Pavel Tsatsouline and the RKC in kettlebell lifting in South Australia.
Head Coach on the far left with Master of Sports, Pavel Tsatsouline of Dragon Door and the RKC and Expert level Krav Maga instructors Tommy Bloom and Amnon Dharsa on the RKC in Budapest, Hungary.
Kettlebells forge their practitioner's physiques along the lines of antique statues - broad shoulders with just a hint of pecs, back muscles standing out in bold relief, wiry arms, rugged forearms, a cut midsection, and strong legs without a hint of squat-induced chafing. Kettlebells melt fat without the dishonor of dieting or aerobics - losing 1% of body fat a week for weeks is not uncommon. If you are overweight, you will lean out. If you are skinny, you will get built up. According to Voropayev (1997) who studied top Russian gireviks, 21.2% increased their bodyweight since taking up kettlebell lifting and 21.2% (the exact same percentage, not a typo), mostly heavyweights, decreased it. The Russian kettlebell is a powerful tool for fixing your body composition, whichever way it needs fixing.

"The flesh must be broken. The Lord can use us then, not while it is unbroken. While Paul was writhing under Satan's thorn, he could get some estimate, though not a full one, of what the flesh is as God sees it. When it was broken, and Paul did not know what to do, the Lord came to pour sympathy into the writhing heart of Paul."
"Only those who have learned well to be earnestly dissatisfied with themselves, and to be confounded with shame at their wretchedness truly understand the Christian gospel."
"We want to avoid suffering, death, sin, ashes. But we live in a world crushed and broken and torn, a world God Himself visited to redeem. We receive his poured-out life, and being allowed the high privilege of suffering with Him, may then pour ourselves out for others."
"My grand point in preaching is to break the hard heart, and to heal the broken one."
"God uses broken things. It takes broken soil to produce a crop, broken clouds to give rain, broken grain to give bread, broken bread to give strength. It is the broken alabaster box that gives forth perfume. It is Peter, weeping bitterly, who returns to greater power than ever."
"The Word, circumstances, and other believers - these can all be tools to show us our need and create opportunities to choose the pathway of brokenness. The Spirit of God is the arm that wields each of these instruments to bring us to a point of brokenness. However, we must respond to His initiative."
"The prayer that prevails is not the work of lips and fingertips. It is the cry of a broken heart and the travail of a stricken soul."
"Like the rock that was smitten, we too need to be broken, before the rivers of blessing can flow out through us to others. The opposition of men and their false accusations serve to keep us broken before God."
"Happy is he who still loves something he loved in the nursery: He has not been broken in two by time; he is not two men, but one, and he has saved not only his soul but his life."
"Before God could bring me to this place He has broken me a thousand times."
"The church is not a select circle of the immaculate, but a home where the outcast may come in. It is not a palace with gate attendants and challenging sentinels along the entrance-ways holding off at arm's-length the stranger, but rather a hospital where the broken-hearted may be healed, and where all the weary and troubled may find rest and take counsel together."
"Leave the broken, irreversible past in God's hands, and step out into the invincible future with Him."
"Jesus said, "Blessed are the poor in spirit" - contrary to what we would expect, brokenness is the pathway to blessing! There are no alternative routes; there are no short-cuts. The very thing we dread and are tempted to resist is actually the means to God's greatest blessings in our lives."
"Towards himself a Christian should have a broken spirit, but towards God it should be one of rejoicing always in Him. He rejoices not for its own sake nor because of any joyful experience, work, blessing or circumstance, but exclusively because God is his center."


I have been trying to run the example file "05_ThicknessByStress", which is not possible due an error in the C# script as marked in the attached image. Could someone please let me know how I would need to change the code in order to make it work?
So what the error actually is? I mean, what's the message in red ballon? It might be caused by some missing libraries.
I have tried that approach already. It doesn't change anything. The error in the C# component refers to the the line in the C# script which I have highlighted in my first post. There seems to be something wrong with that particular line.

Costa Farms' Monstera deliciosa Named Favorite New Foliage Plant at TPIE
With unique splashes of color reminiscent of a galaxy, Monstera deliciosa 'Thai Constellation', an interesting new variety of the hardy monstera plant, was chosen as Favorite New Foliage Plant at the 2020 Tropical Plant Industry Exhibition (TPIE) in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Grown by Costa Farms of Miami, Florida, the award for 'Thai Constellation' marks the fifth year the company has taken home the prize for Favorite New Foliage Plant.
"It's no coincidence that Costa Farms has won this award for the fifth consecutive year," said Darryl Cheng, creator of House Plant Journal, author of 'The New Plant Parent.' "They lead the industry by introducing top quality plants of rare and exotic varieties and making them accessible to all plant lovers."
This new variant of the monstera deliciosa has found a strong following on social media. It's large, glossy cut leaves with small splashes of creamy white color make it a truly gorgeous addition to any plant collection. As the plant ages, the leaves take on a different structure, which is how Monsteras earned the nickname "Swiss cheese plant."
"A plant like this is ideal for those consumers looking for dramatic and showy foliage," said Mike Rimland, plant hunter at Costa Farms. "Its eye-catching leaves have a cosmic-like draw to them."
'Thai Constellation' can be grown just about anywhere indoors. It can tolerate low light, but grows faster and becomes more dramatic in a bright spot. In most areas, it can take some direct sun on its leaves when grown in the house. The plant is somewhat drought tolerant, so you don't need to worry about keeping up with the watering all the time. Water it regularly, just enough to keep the soil from drying out.
"The monstera trend has expanded beyond the plant industry and into fashion and retail," said Rimland. "Plants that have variegated foliage are particularly trendy, and we expect to see a lot of interest in 'Thai Constellation' because of its good looks and easy care requirements."

Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah says he will only hand invitations to committed players in response to criticisms for leaving out several top names for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Kenya on September 8.
The 56-year-old named a 21-man squad without captain Asamoah Gyan, the Ayew brothers, Wakaso Mubarak and Emmanuel Agyemang Badu.
"If a player says he's not well or he is injured and won't be available for a particular match, it is my job to make sure there is another player available to fill the void," Appiah was quoted as saying by SportsworldGhana.
"I have never had any problem with anybody. The national team is not for me, it's for Ghana.
"I keep saying that nobody is bigger than Ghana and I'm looking for players who are committed and ready to kill themselves for the nation," he added.
The Ayew brothers have not been part of the Black Stars since last September, with reports suggesting they are in the bad books of the coach, for not travelling with the team to Congo for a World Cup qualifier.
Ghana top Group F with three points, two ahead of Kenya.


A top class field from 18 countries is now confirmed for Newport on Saturday, August 20. The big guns from the world of women's cycling are preparing to battle it out on the tough three-lap, 114km Welsh course in this, the eighth leg of the 2005 UCI World Cup series.
Acknowledged as one of the strongest women's professional teams on the circuit for many years, Team Nurnberger are set to have a strong showing in the Usk Valley. Current World Cup leader and last year's champion Oenone Wood of Australia, together with team-mate Judith Arndt (Germany) make a formidable pair, suggesting that a Nurnberger jersey could well be first over the line.
Fierce competition is expected however from Buitenpoort-Flexpoint, with Sweden's double World Champion Susanne Ljungskog and Mirjam Melchers-Van Poppel of the Netherlands both keen for a win. Lying second and third respectively in the current World Cup standings, both riders have everything to play for as the series draws close to its climax in Germany this September.


The report came as the World Health Organization warned that the fight to stop Democratic Republic of Congo's ninth confirmed outbreak of the hemorrhagic fever had reached a critical point.
Merck donated thousands of doses to World Health Organization and anticipates filing for licensure and approval by regulatory agencies next year, said Pam Eisele, a company spokeswoman.
Ebola responders in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are revealing more about local practices and community mistrust, which in some instances are hampering the actions needed to curb the spread of the disease in the country's outbreak hot spots. There have been 58 confirmed, probable and suspected cases of Ebola - and 27 deaths - as of Tuesday.
Three experts from the UK Public Health Rapid Support Team - two epidemiologists and a data scientist - are also being deployed to the DRC to assist UK aid partners in tracking the spread of the disease so that it can be tackled quickly and effectively.
Of the confirmed Ebola cases, 14 are in Iboko, 10 are in Bikoro where the outbreak began and four are in the Wangata area of Mbandaka.
Health officials are particularly concerned by the disease's presence in Mbandaka, a crowded trading hub upstream from the capital Kinshasa, a city of 10 million people. In previous Ebola outbreaks, patients have also left the hospital despite doctors urging them not to.
Ebola is highly contagious and spreads through contact with the bodily fluids of its victims, often during burial rites.
The virus enters the body through broken skin or mucous membranes in the eyes, nose or mouth, and can also spread through sexual contact. Said Berkley: "So the idea that there is only a subset of people who are going to get it is complicated".
The escapes unfortunately are not surprising, said Dr. Isaac Bogoch, an infectious disease physician with Toronto's University Health Network who treats tropical diseases.
Lucey said that "there are quite a few experimental vaccines, both from the West and from China and from Russian Federation", yet only one investigational Ebola vaccine is being used in the current outbreak - recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus-Zaire Ebola virus (or rVSV-ZEBOV), made by pharmaceutical giant Merck.
The WHO said vaccine manufacturer Merck has provided it with 8,640 doses of the vaccine and an additional 8,000 doses are expected to be available in the coming days. Among the almost 6,000 people who received the vaccine at that time, no Ebola cases were recorded 10 days or more after vaccination.
"It is really the detective work of epidemiology that will make or break the response to this outbreak", he said.
"The commitment and sacrifice of those on the front line is the most important element of this outbreak", he said.
Doctors Without Borders (MSF), which was one of WHO's harshest critics over the West Africa outbreak, agreed that the response this time was far better. The Republic of Congo and the Central African Republic, which have land and river borders with the affected areas, are at particular risk as there is a constant movement of people between the countries.
WHO Regional Director for Africa, Matshidiso Moeti, said WHO is helping these countries scale up preparedness so they can detect, investigate, and manage the disease. Meanwhile, millions of dollars from the Congolese government and worldwide aid have been allocated to combat the spread of the deadly disease, including up to $8 million from the U.S. Agency for global Development.
UNICEF spokesman, Christophe Boulierac said schools are crucial for minimizing the risk of transmission among children.
"The next few weeks will really tell if this outbreak is going to expand to urban areas or if we're going to be able to keep it under control", WHO's emergency response chief, Peter Salama, said at the United Nations body's annual assembly.
We'll see what Incognito decides to do, but on paper, it certainly makes sense for both sides. Miller didn't want to say too much about the situation with Incognito.
Before they get to that stage, Sharapova would possibly have to get past Czech 6th seed Karolina Pliskova. Serena, who was ranked No. 1 before giving birth in 2017, is now ranked at No. 453.
Investigators said they are hoping that tidbit of information coupled with the surveillance video will result in a tip-call. The driver then begins repeatedly hitting the SUV with the hammer, breaking the driver's window.
A Treasury spokesman did not reply to a request for further clarification of Tuesday's guidance. The group declined immediate comment when contacted by Reuters .
Trump said he was given the option of leaving immediately after the ceremony, or staying to shake hands with all the graduates. We are going to stand up for our values.
The task is quite simple for the two sides competing at Wembley Stadium on Saturday; win and you're back in the Premier League . And assuming he didn't, Fredericks must surely be in for a ban which will roll over into the Premier League next season.
The Fayetteville National Cemetery will hold its ceremony on Monday (May 28) at 10 a.m., and the event is open to the public. These small flags will adorn individual gravesites at the cemetery, located at 1520 Harry Wurzbach Road in San Antonio .
Houston has outscored the Warriors by 11 points in 47 minutes during the West finals with Harden on the floor and Paul resting. Late in the fourth quarter, Chris Paul suffered a hamstring injury that forced him off the court in the final minute.
He was ready, in other words, to stick to football for a while, at least when it came to anything happening on the field. Now I know that the kneelers and their defenders say, "it's free speech!" "That's what this says to me and to mine".
The development of Andy Robertson from a relegated Hull City side to the UCL finalist is one story to tell in the future. Never had a team successfully defended the modern Champions League until Los Blancos achieved this feat last season.

BR Mark 1 Coach
British Railways Mark 1 was the family designation for the first standardised designs of railway carriages built by British Railways. Following nationalisation in 1948, BR had continued to build carriages to the designs of the "Big Four" companies (the Great Western, Southern, London Midland and Scottish and London and North Eastern railways), and the Mark 1 was intended to be the standard carriage design for use across all lines, incorporating the best features of each of the former companies' designs. It was also designed to be much stronger than previous designs, to provide better protection for passengers in the event of a collision or derailment.
The Mk 1 coaches were built in two distinct tranches: the early vehicles (1951–60) and the 'Commonwealth' stock (named from the type of bogie used) from 1961 onwards.
The four BR Mark 1 suburban coaches pictured make up the NNR set. All restored to traffic in 2017.

Botte Shots: Why does baseball have such a hard time finding stars with top overall pick?
By Peter Botte
Jun 05, 2018 | 12:35 PM
The numbers suggest that Casey Mize has a better chance of turning out to be Paul Wilson or Mark Appel than he does to be Ken Griffey Jr. or Chipper Jones.
The latter two superstars incredibly are the only players to be drafted first overall in 54 years of the MLB draft – as Mize, a right-handed pitcher out of Auburn, was on Monday night by the Tigers – to eventually be enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Casey Mize is the overall No. 1 pick in Monday's MLB Draft, but history suggests he likely won't be a superstar. (Alex Trautwig / MLB Photos via Getty Images)
It's really an incredible number when you consider how much time and money is invested by teams in the draft every year, and especially when you see that the three other major North American sports have had far more success in projecting the star power of the top overall selections in their respective selection processes.
The NBA, by contrast, has had 17 No. 1 overall picks (and counting) reach the Hall of Fame in its sport, followed by the NFL (13) and the NHL (eight).
So why has the rate of busts in baseball historically been so much higher than the other sports?
[More Sports] Derek Jeter now understands how special his Hall of Fame career really was »
Obviously, the proliferation of injuries, particularly with pitchers, has derailed several careers, but there have been just as many players who simply have never lived up to their lofty projections.
Hall of Famer Chipper Jones (Frank Franklin II / AP)
This is not to suggest that there haven't been plenty of fine players taken first overall whose careers fall just below the Junior/Chipper HOF level. Five others joined that duo to win MVP awards, including perennial All-Star catchers Joe Mauer and Buster Posey, who still might be Cooperstown-bound upon the conclusion of their careers.
Alex Rodriguez, of course, is perhaps the biggest name among that group and he certainly has the gaudy statistics to merit Hall inclusion. But fellow performance-enhancing drug cheats Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens still haven't come particularly close to enshrinement, and players in A-Rod's category as those suspended after MLB instituted official PED rules – such as Rafael Palmeiro and Manny Ramirez – have fared even worse in the balloting.
And while Bryce Harper and Carlos Correa are young superstars seemingly on a Hall trajectory, the loaded Astros clearly whiffed on two other No. 1 overall selections in 2013 and 2014 with pitchers Appel (already retired) and Brady Aiken (injured), respectively.
In fact, David Price (2007, Tampa Bay) won the 2012 Cy Young award and he's been a five-time All-Star selection, but Stephen Strasburg (twice) is the only other pitcher of 18 selected first overall (including Mize, now) to make the Midsummer Classic more than once.

Locally, the Mets have owned the No. 1 pick five times, with only Darryl Strawberry (1980) making an impact at the major-league level (eight All-Star selections), even if his career still holds something of a what-could-have-been quality due to off-field problems with drugs and alcohol.
In 1966, the Mets selected California catcher Steve Chilcott over an Arizona State outfielder named Reggie Jackson; Chilcott seriously injured his shoulder in the minors and never played a major-league game.
Two years later, they chose California infielder Tim Foli with the first selection – with Thurman Munson going to the Yankees at No. 4. While Foli did last 16 years in the majors, he never made an All-Star team and hit just 25 homers with a .593 OPS over 1,696 career games.
In 1984, the Mets went with Pennsylvania outfielder Shawn Abner atop a draft that ended up with only two future All-Stars – Jay Bell (eighth) and Mark McGwire (10th) – taken in the first 20 picks. Abner never played for the Mets and in only 392 games elsewhere.
And the aforementioned Wilson (1994) never lived up to his Generation K billing, suffering a torn labrum in his right shoulder and posting a 4.86 ERA over 170 games, including just 26 with the Mets.
[More Sports] Luis Rojas: Meet the new Mets manager »
Meanwhile, the Yankees only have owned the first overall pick twice through the years, albeit with equally poor success.
Brien Taylor (Jim Sulley / AP)
Ron Blomberg (1967) is known more as the answer to a trivia question as the first designated hitter in baseball history; he hit 52 homers over parts of eight big-league campaigns. Blomberg at least reached the majors; left-handed pitcher Brien Taylor (1991) suffered a serious shoulder injury in a bar fight and never donned the pinstripes.
As for the other sports, Tim Duncan and LeBron James obviously will soon add to the NBA's list of No. 1s in the Basketball Hall of Fame, with early returns also looking promising for more recent selections such as Anthony Davis and Karl-Anthony Towns.
The NFL figure doesn't yet include Peyton Manning, or his brother Eli, and we'll see about Cam Newton, Andrew Luck and a few others chosen during this decade.
Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin clearly are Hall of Fame locks in hockey, with Patrick Kane, Steven Stamkos and John Tavares consistent All-Stars and perhaps on the way, with recent picks Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews also already established among the game's elite.
[More Sports] Reggie Jackson can no longer one-up Derek Jeter »
While that should put the other sports all into the double digits in No. 1 picks becoming Hall of Famers over the next decade, for whatever reason, baseball continues to lag behind.
OUTTA BOTTE EXPERIENCE
The Philadelphia Eagles had zero players kneel during the national anthem last season and/or remain in the locker room during the playing of the song.
President Trump still rescinded Tuesday's planned White House visit for the Super Bowl champs, a team hailing from the city in which the Constitution was written and the one whose mascot happens to be the national bird and just as much of a symbol of American freedoms as the flag Trump believes those "SOB" NFL players are so disrespecting.
Yes, that grudge from his USFL antitrust days and from his failed attempt to buy the Buffalo Bills remains alive and well, in case anyone was uncertain.

- No problem at all with Mickey Callaway holding team meetings or publicly calling out Conforto/Matz/Bruce, etc. for boneheaded lapses or lack of fundies. That's the job.
But the first-year manager needs to cool it with ever using the pressure of New York as an excuse for his team. That never is going to fly here.

The 1960 Italian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at Monza on 4 September 1960. It was race 9 of 10 in the 1960 World Championship of Drivers and race 8 of 9 in the 1960 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers. The race was won by American driver Phil Hill driving a Ferrari 246 F1.

Race summary
The 1960 season had been a frustrating one for Ferrari's Formula 1 program as they campaigned their obsolete Dino 246, a front engined car as the rear engined design established supremacy. Due to the boycott by British teams, the championship had already been decided for Jack Brabham and Ferrari had gone without a victory. Seeing an opportunity, the Italian organizers decided to maximize Ferrari's one advantage —straightline speed— by using the combined Monza road and banked oval circuit, making the fast Monza even faster.

Citing the fragility of their cars and the dangers of the banking, the major British factory teams of the day—Lotus, BRM, and Cooper, all boycotted the event, leading to a cobbled together field of private entrants and Formula 2 cars.

The race was a processional affair, with Ginther leading at the start and eventually being overtaken by Hill. The pair with teammate Willy Mairesse raced on to a rare 1–2–3 team result for Scuderia Ferrari. The boycott also allowed Scuderia Castellotti to score its only world championship points with Giulio Cabianca finishing fourth in his Cooper T51, two laps behind Hill and ahead of Scuderia Ferrari's fourth entry, Wolfgang von Trips in a 1.5 L-engined (conforming to F2 regulations) Ferrari 156 F2 car.

It was the first victory by an American driver in a Grand Prix since Jimmy Murphy in 1921, and, excluding the Indy 500, the first by an American in the Formula One  World Championship.

It was the last Formula One World Championship victory by a front-engined car, although the Ferguson P99 won the non-championship Gold Cup at Oulton Park in 1961.

If Speaking of Research was a person in the US, entering its sixth year of life, they should have received vaccines for the following: chickenpox, diphtheria, Hib, HepA, HepB, flu, measles, mumps, pertussis (Whooping Cough), polio, pneumococcal, rotavirus, rubella and tetanus (a similar schedule exists in the UK). All of these have depended on animal research (see previous links). If we were born prematurely we would have relied on incubators and corticosteroids, both products of animal research. Asthma is also common, affecting 1 in 10 children in Britain; once again, treatments are thanks to animal experiments.
Given the huge benefits of animal research, it is important that people continue to stand up and explain clearly and scientifically, the reason that animal research must continue. To celebrate our five year anniversary, some of our committee members came together to produce a number of pledges of what they would do to communicate the importance of this issue as SR enter its sixth year.
Speaking of Research have moved from strength to strength over the past 5 years. Our website readership in 2012 more than doubled from the year before, and we are now the most read pro-animal-research website on the web.
What will your pledge be?
Posted on April 10, 2013 April 10, 2013 by EditorPosted in News, SR NewsTagged animal research, communicating science, science communication, speaking of research, vaccines.
Happy birthday!!! I pledge to work on getting that silent majority to be un-silent!! =) Even if you just open up to your family or friends about how you really feel about animals in research, you are moving forward. For some of us, it is not worth the personal strife trying to talk to some of our more radical family directly but we can always find some small ways to encourage others and make our feelings known. Even if it is just coming here, reading our posts and commenting favorably. That is a step in the right direction and we thank you!!!!
Congrats to the Team for a job well done. Keep up the good work, a silent majority is behind you!

Early Cum Laude Inductees Announced
Sep 13 2018 4:01 PM
On Friday, September 7, Germantown Academy Director of College Counseling Karen Mason announced the fall inductees of GA's Chapter of the Cum Laude Society.
Cum Laude is the most significant academic honor at GA. The high school version of Phi Beta Kappa, its ranks are filled with some of the most successful and intellectually adventurous people in the United States. GA is incredibly proud of the following first round inductees from the Class of 2019: Jason Chee '19, Scott Cho '19, Brynne DiDonato '19, Daryl Dohner '19, Priya Dudhat '19, Andrew Feng '19, Kevin Hou '19, Vinit Joshi '19, Eric Nawrocki '19, Priya Padhye '19, Daniel Ritz '19, Zoe Torrey '19, Derek Walkush '19, and Kristine Wang '19.
For nearly a century now, GA has been a member of the Cum Laude Society, whose tenets of excellence, justice and honor form the basis of the highest cumulative academic award bestowed at GA. In total, GA is permitted to admit up to 20 percent of each graduating class into the hallowed ranks of Cum Laude. Following the junior year, GA admits 10 percent of the class, and then in June the faculty admits another 10 percent based on their performance through senior year.
The Cum Laude Society recognizes the members of the graduating class who, throughout their Upper School careers, embody the Society's mission. The Society inducts those students demonstrating a superior academic record in the most rigorous coursework, a deep commitment to integrity and a strong adherence to the GA Honor Code, and a passion for learning both in and out of the classroom.
At the end of the school year, the school will honor all of the Class of 2019 Cum Laude inductees at a special ceremony.

Christmas chaos has broken out in supermarkets across the UK as last-minute shoppers squabble over turkeys and limited parking spaces.
Brits who rushed to the shops in hope of bagging their festive treats with just two day until Christmas were met with empty shelves and people stocking piling their trolleys.
Shoppers found themselves trapped in car parks due to high levels off traffic and then stuck on congested motorways.
Sophia Howard was stuck in Tesco's car park in Chelmsford for an hour and questioned on Twitter why nobody was managing traffic flow.
An onlooker told how two elderly women came to blows over a turkey in Liverpool and had to be separated by staff, calling their spat 'turkey rage'.
He described the events on his Twitter page, writing: ' 'All kickin off in Sainsbury's Rice Lane. Turkey rage. Nuts. Two old dears having a full on kick off over a turkey. Had to be separated by staff. Serene it ain't.
Further north of the country, Tom Clark told Hull Live: This is the worst part about Christmas - shopping and traffic.
Meanwhile on Twitter, those who had braved the shops took to the social media platform to complain about the chaos that had erupted inside supermarkets nationwide.
Peter Monggomery also appeared confused as to why people stock pile food, writing: 'Heading to the supermarket at this time of year, I'm never sure if people are shopping for Christmas lunch or the Armaggeddon.
Those heading out on Christmas Eve have been warned to expect severe significant delays in some areas.
In Surrey today, there were major problems on the M25 anti-clockwise following a crash involving a number of vehicles. Three lanes were closed at one point.
Half of UK motorists will take to main roads or motorways on Monday, according to AA research.
Analysis by the RAC and traffic information supplier Inrix predicted that roads will be busiest between 11am and 1pm.
The worst road for long delays is expected to be the M1 northbound from Junction 21 (Coventry/Leicester) to Junction 26 (Nottingham/Ripley).
The M25, M5, M6 and M40 have also been identified as 'likely to see significant delays' over the festive period.
In addition to the threat of long queues, drivers are also being hit with Christmas getaway fuel costs at a five-year high.
UK forecourts are charging motorists an average of £1.21 per litre for petrol and £1.31 per litre for diesel, according to Government data.
The last time prices were this high in the run-up to Christmas was 2013.
Some of Network Rail's 330 Christmas engineering projects have already begun, forcing a number of lines to be closed.
Airports are seeing a spike in demand in the build-up to Christmas.
Travel trade organisation Abta expects more than 4.7m people to head abroad from the UK between December 18 and January 2.

'America's favourite hot what?' you may be asking. 'I don't know' is the answer, because this isn't even a hot sandwich.
I suppose it's time for a bit of a confession, dear readers: as a kid, I hated tomatoes, and then I got older and hated mayonnaise, and so the years passed and I made it through almost three whole decades without ever eating a BLT. Well, no more, friends! And now I'm a convert. Except, in this case, BLT actually stands for 'British Lettuce and Tomato,' because, as we've discussed before, American bacon is just not available over here in Scotland. The tomatoes over here are so much better than the ones in the US, though-- sweeter, more flavourful, and cheaper-- so I guess it's an even trade.
Anyway, this is the kind of meal to make on a night where you have fun plans that don't start until late in the evening-- like us, last night. It's simple but filling, and even though there's no way you can consider this a healthy sandwich, at least one of the main ingredients is a vegetable-- so you're not totally off base having it before a night of partying.
Plus, other than 'Tossed Salad, Four Ways,' this is officially my favourite recipe name I've come across so far. And although this is the first time in my life I've garnished a sandwich with an olive, I think from now on I'm going to demand that all my sandwiches come that way. They're at least 13% more delicious than standard sandwiches, so consider it next time you're making your lunch.
If you're in the UK, you can use lardons to make this, like we did, but it might not be the most useful way to make a sandwich since they're so small that they tend to roll out. Alternately, you could buy pancetta in strips and saute it briefly, then use that (which tastes like a thinner, crisper version of American bacon). But most of all, if you're in the UK, don't ever taste American bacon, or you'll never be able to get used to existing in a world without it.
5 spoons out of five. This recipe is amazing, and you should go home and make it for dinner immediately. Don't wait 29 and a half years to have your first BLT.
Toast the bread and spread 2 slices with a thin layer of mayonnaise.
Lay one slice of lettuce on each mayonnaise layer.
Layer slices of cheddar on top of lettuce, followed by tomato, bacon, and the other slices of bread.
Garnish with two olives speared on a toothpick.

R. Kelly assistant says he made her write false confession
Posted at 7:15 PM, September 13, 2021 and last updated 4:15 PM, August 22, 2022
By JIM MUSTIAN Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — R. Kelly's longtime assistant testified Monday that the R&B superstar was so paranoid, he once asked her to change into a robe to demonstrate she was not wearing a wire.
"He could get pretty heated," said Diana Copeland, who was Kelly's assistant for 15 years. She told jurors he made her cry at times.
Copeland testified that Kelly kept strict policies for his entourage and once compelled her to write a letter falsely confessing to stealing from him.
Still, Copeland said she did not witness any of the alleged abuse — including kidnapping and sexual assault — described by a long list of witnesses over the past month in Kelly's racketeering trial at a federal court in Brooklyn.
The Grammy-winning, multiplatinum-selling singer has denied accusations that he led a criminal enterprise that sexually exploited women, girls and even boys during a 30-year career highlighted by his anthem "I Believe I Can Fly." His lawyers have portrayed his accusers as groupies who are lying about their relationships with him.
Copeland's testimony revealed new details about Kelly's unusual routines and the degree to which he relied upon his inner circle.
She said he had no control over his own bank account and had "no idea where his royalties were going."
"He didn't even know his own Social Security number," Copeland said. "That was a huge problem."
The singer, born Robert Sylvester Kelly, has trouble reading and writing and would have Copeland draft his text messages before the advent of voice-to-text applications.
Kelly lived a nocturnal lifestyle in which he often didn't start his day until 5 p.m., played basketball at midnight and remained in the recording studio until the sun came up, Copeland said.

Some of the greatest innovations in outdoor gear, and in general, are born out of a marriage between necessity and creativity. Existing options don't meet all needs, or fall short in specific areas, and we can either choose to accept what's available, or create something new. The team behind Father Nature Outdoors chose the latter, and in 2011, the idea for the Integrated Camping Blanket was born.
The Integrated Camping Blanket combines features from two classic outdoor sleeping options - backpacking quilts and sleeping bags. Quilts are easy to pack, versatile, easy to get in and out of, and a cinch to set up. But they're drafty, and if you toss and turn, you'll find you need to tuck yourself back in frequently. Sleeping bags are generally warmer, keep drafts out, and give you additional options for comfort, like hoods. But they don't allow for much freedom of movement, and when you're lying down, a good bit of the insulation underneath you is compressed.
Image courtesy of Father Nature Outdoors.
As part of a collaborative effort to test, provide feedback, and improve the design of the Integrated Camping Blanket, I had the chance to put the blanket through its paces. It's designed to be used like a three season backpacking quilt, but if you're looking for a more sleeping bag-like experiences, you have options.
In warmer temperatures, simply cover up with the Integrated Camping Blanket, and use the footbox sleeve for your feet, or slip your sleeping pad inside. If it's a bit cooler out, the Integrated Camping Blanket can be secured around your sleeping pad and clasped shut like a sleeping bag. You can also slide your sleeping pad into the footbox sleeve and buckle the blanket together for the best of both worlds. Two blankets can also be paired together as a couples sleeping bag.
Most often, I found myself using the Integrated Camping Blanket like a quilt. I lay down, slip my feet into the footbox, and curl up; having my feet covered when I'm sleeping is generally a must. The Integrated Camping Blanket allows me the freedom to throw the covers off without dealing with a zipper, but still lets me keep my feet tucked in. The FNO team has plans to add an elastic band beneath the footbox in order to keep the footbox snug beneath the sleeping pad and eliminate drafts.
The blanket comes with its own compression sack. Image courtesy of Father Nature Outdoors.
Given I use inflatable sleeping pads almost exclusively, I love that the blanket integrates with just about every sleeping pad. But if you're a Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Mattress user, you might not find it as comfortable, given you're in direct contact with your sleeping pad. The FNO team notes that oval self-inflating mats work best with the version of the blanket I tested, and they're working on prototyping new version that work on a wider range of pads. During testing, I found it worked well with my Therm-a-Rest NeoAir All Season Air Mattress.
When I tested the Integrated Camping Blanket as a sleeping bag, I found the loop closures keep the blanket folded over and secured better than snaps on other quilts I've tried, which is great. I'd love to see one or two more loops for a more secure closure, though the draft collar definitely helps keep the heat in when I want it.
The Integrated Camping Blanked isn't just for people!
The blanket is also durable, but soft. The outer shell is ripstop nylon, the inner shell is nylon, and the blanket is filled with superloft synthetic insulation. The FNO team is looking at different fills for future product releases in addition to a slimmer, lighter design. The design I tested fits folks up to six feet tall and 200 pounds.
Bottom line? For an MSRP of $159, I'm incredibly impressed by what the FNO team was able to create. The Integrated Camping Blanket is a versatile, well designed product you can use in your tent, or around the house, which is more than I can say for any sleeping bag I've tried. I'd love to see a few additional loop closures for a more secure fit, and a way to avoid direct contact with my sleeping pad. I can't wait to see what the team comes up with in the future.
Huge thank you to the FNO team for providing me with a complimentary blanket to test, and as always, the opinions expressed here are my own. Have you ever tried a camping blanket? Think you'd give this one a go?


Bangalore, May 12 :The Bangalore Electric Supply Company (BESCOM) today sought an eight per cent average increase in tariff from the Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission to meet a deficit of Rs 751 crore for the current fiscal.
BESCOM sources told UNI that increase in tariff amounting to about 40 paise per unit would fetch an additional income of Rs 390 crore with the balance deficit covered through subsidy from the State Government.
BESCOM had shown a Transmission and Distribution loss of 22 per cent for the region for the year.
KERC would call for objections on the proposals putforth by BESCOM and would give its order in about four months.
The overall loss of the five electric supply companies in Karnataka this year was expected to be around Rs 2500 crore. The Government subsidy was put at Rs 1800 crore.

School History and Profile

Camps/Activities
Parent Opinion Survey
Parent Info Book
Bus transport is provided for the majority of our students in either our Belvoir bus or a Dyson's bus. Each bus is staffed by a bus driver and a bus chaperone.
The ultimate transport goal for a growing proportion of our students is that they can independently travel to school. This skill will ease the transition to work and adult education placements when they leave Belvoir. Some students walk or ride their bikes to school. Some travel by public transport.
An application must be made for your child to be eligible for bus transport and this form can be found in your enrolment pack. You will be notified if your child is eligible for transport and be given details of bus pick-up and drop-off times and what bus your child will be on. As we have many children using this service, it is not possible to vary times. However, we do aim to have our students at school by 9am and depart at 3pm.
Bus Safety: Our bus chaperone will work with parents, staff and the students to ensure that your child travels safely on the bus. All children must wear a seat-belt, remain seated and refrain from eating on the bus. The chaperone will ensure that your child receives their closer supervision if assistance, extra attention, social stories, a special object or book to hold is needed.
On rare occasions, when a student is unwell, particularly anxious or disruptive and their safety and that of others is compromised, the Principal may ask the parents to transport their child for a short period of time until a revised safety plan is put into place.
Use of buses during the School Day
Community Access is an important part of your child's weekly program and all groups participate in at least one community outing per week. In most instances, the students are transported on the buses owned by the school. At the beginning of each term, your child's teacher will send a term timetable Community Access notification and permission slip home which will clearly outline excursion destination and dates. We ask that you read this notification and if you are happy with your child to be involved in those excursions, sign and return to school. If you have any concerns, please contact your child's teacher by phone, person or indicate in diary.
The Department of Education and Training Victoria (DET) offers several different types of transport assistance under the Student with Disabilities Transport Program (SDTP).
• The Department offers a bus service to and from government specialist schools. Each bus service has a chaperone on board and is currently funded in-kind until further notice from the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) (see Victorian Transport)
• The School Bus Program (SBP) provides transport to students attending government and non-government schools in rural and regional Victoria. This service does NOT provide a chaperone, currently assessed on the travel independence of the student.
• A Conveyance Allowance is available to those families who use their private vehicles to transport their child to and from school. This allowance is calculated on the distance travelled between home and the school OR the nearest designated bus stop (min of 4.8kms).
• Transport from a NSW address, requires certain criteria to be eligible and is controlled by the NSW Department of Education and Communities. The process is very lengthy and ruthless (see NSW Transport).
Families in rural and regional Victoria can get help with the cost of transporting their children to their nearest school or campus. This is known as the conveyance allowance.
The conveyance allowance is available to students travelling by:
private bus
or to students whose nearest school is not serviced by a free school bus.
The conveyance allowance is a contribution towards transport costs and is not intended to cover the full cost of transporting children to and from school
Attendance at a specialist school does not automatically entitle a student to assistance or preclude parents/guardians from being primarily responsible for their child's transport arrangements.
The Students with Disabilities Transport Program provides transport assistance for eligible students attending their designated government specialist school.
The program aims to facilitate substantive equality for students with a disability and is a contribution towards and an acknowledgement of the additional costs families may incur as a result of attending a specialist school.
The conveyance allowance is available to families who meet certain criteria.
Students attending a specialist school or special setting must:
attend their nearest government or non-government specialist school or Department-recognised special setting
reside 4.8km or more by the shortest practicable route from that school/campus attended
reside within the Designated Transport Area (DTA) https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-KFQ7VVUx_e6cn4jPfOJf7rDlzyEsvJ-&usp=sharing for the government specialist school attended (applicable to government students only)
be of school age (5 to 18 years old at time of application) and reside in Victoria.
Apply for the allowance
Families can complete an application form and submit it to their school, or the school can complete the form on their behalf.
Payment amounts
Depending on how a student travels to school, an eligible student may be granted a conveyance allowance based on:
the least expensive public transport fares and/or
a distance based allowance when travel is by private car and/or private bus.
Apply for Special Transport Consideration
From Term 1 2017, Victorian government and Catholic schools will use the new Victorian Curriculum F-10. Curriculum related information is currently being reviewed and may be subject to change.
For more information on the curriculum, see:
The Victorian Curriculum F–10 – VCAA
Families can apply for special transport consideration if bus options are not suitable or appeal a transport decision. This must be done via their child's school.
The school should assist the family to complete an application and make sure supporting documentation is included. For example, a doctor or welfare agency report.
Transport special case consideration application form (docx – 62.63kb)
Transport special case consideration information sheet (doc – 218.5kb)
If the application falls within the Department's transport policies, the application will be considered.
In most cases a decision is made within 15 working days. An application may be referred to the special case consideration panel.

It was Monday, July 2, at 4 p.m. There were tempting appetizers from Moxie Café, respectable wines for imbibing, and a group of groovy guests, not to mention an awesome venue–the Santa Maria Valley Discovery Museum.
Yet this was my saddest hobnobbing experience ever. About 100 folks gathered to bid farewell to one of the Central Coast's treasures. This was the last official appearance of Chris Slaughter, the museum's executive director and guiding light for the past several years.
Chris and her husband, oral surgeon Dr. Joe Slaughter, were on their way to Atlanta, Georgia, for a new life. Not that the old one was so bad, but a dental practice in the South made Joe an offer he couldn't refuse.
Discovery Museum board member Diane Adam dubbed the event "New Beginnings." Nancy Gastelum will assume the mantle of executive director, truly a new beginning for the museum and for the Slaughters.
The local nonprofit world was represented by Kim Colby, Terri Lee Coleman, Judy Frost, and from Allan Hancock College, president Kevin Walthers and Susan Houghton.The Sun's general manager Kim Rosa and her trusty sidekick Colleen Garcia made an appearance, as did Jeff Barnes, city librarian Mary Housel, and Ken Parker.
Discovery Museum Board president Michelle Tabisola was there along with board members Roy Reed, Bill Thompson, and Dave Wright.
Chris had been instrumental in getting the Orcutt Children's Art Foundation off and running. She was also a Santa Barbara Foundation trustee, and for several years, had been the PR person for Café FX.
There was more than one case of teary eyes as Chris, herself teared up, made her parting remarks.
Atlanta: our loss, your gain. Lucky, lucky you.
