BETHEL – Gabby Woods broke her own school record and Clinton-Massie posted a season best team score in the SBAAC girls golf outing at the Colonial Pines Golf Club.
Woods had a 3-under par 31, besting her old nine-hole mark of 34. She had four birdies and a bogey in her round.
Woods' season averaging going into the match was 36.5. Her highest round of the year is 40.
As a team, the Lady Falcons shot a season-best 174 to win the outing. Taylor Anderson's 44 was a season-best.
Wilmington was third with a 201.
Lilly Middleton posted the low score for the Lady Hurricane. Madison Gilbert had a 49.
In the season-long team standings, Clinton-Massie is comfortably in front with 963. Clermont Northeastern is second at 1020 and WHS third at 1073.
Woods is at 176 in the player of the year standings. Middleton is tied for second with 231.
So it would seem, both Woods and the Lady Falcons' team are in good shape to claim titles with the 18-hole league tournament and one nine-hole outing remaining.
Marci Ellis of East Clinton had a 61 and Regan Grogg of Blanchester shot a 70.


This all sounds pretty good on paper, right? Well let's find out how it appears in practice. In this review, we will have a look at their drag and drop editor and see if it's any good for producing a website, site or online shop.
On The broad range of website building alternatives, Weebly resides at the end that is comprehensive and provides all you want to get started and develop your website. It is in contrast to options where you buy, set up, and handle all of the"bits" of your site separately.
Utilizing Weebly is sort of like leasing and customizing a apartment in a wonderful development rather than buying and owning your own house. You are still in control of decor, cleaning, and everything living-wise — but you leave the building, plumbing, security, and infrastructure to the house owner. That point is critical because there's usually a direct tradeoff between convenience and control.
Website Builders as a group compete with choices like WordPress.org (which offers the free software to construct a site that you own & control — visit my WordPress setup guide here) all the way to choices like typing real HTML code into a text file. Make sense? Awesome, let's dive to the Weebly review.
One Other fast aside — a revelation — I get referral fees from all the companies mentioned in this post. My opinions & study derive from my experiences like a paying client or adviser to a paying client.
You might find that elements snap into place And organize themselves flawlessly on the webpage. Other options, such as Wix, forego the grid , so it is quite possible to end up with overlapping components. With Weebly, no probability of that happening.
Working with text is also a breeze in Weebly. You simply click what you want to edit and sort your own words in the box. Some other solutions use"entrance masks" that are a bit more subjective and not necessarily easy to utilize.
So are there Any drawbacks? That depends. If you want to have more freedom with your designs, then you may feel frustrated with the rigid grid system. You ought to go to get Wix. This competition also has an automatic solution (Wix ADI) that may build the web site for you pretty much by itself. You can perhaps shave a couple of minutes of your site building time.
Additionally, there are two things we'd like to see. First is a worldwide reverse button. It is possible to undo what you type in text boxes, but it would be wonderful to erase mistakes once you add or move elements. Secondly, Weebly doesn't have a general media database which keeps all of your pictures. You're going to have to re-upload images for each and every element that needs them.
Let us get 1 thing out of the way first. if You are an advanced SEO specialist who certainly must rank #1 on search engines for a very competitive key word, you may have a tough time with Weebly. It is not impossible, but there are limits.
· Your headings are limited to H2. There's a free program that lets you add headings from h1 to h6, however, it messes a bit with your formatting. We wonder why Weebly doesn't incorporate it into their system.
· Certain pages (categories and product pages) include a mandatory string for your URL. You get things like www.yoursite.com/store/p1/my-product/yellow. Not a huge issue unless your site is not in English. Same with the website articles, they will have'/site /' in the URL structure and this can not be changed.
Just as we Know, very secure. The business takes security very seriously. They promote strong passwords, and supply SSL encryption on all programs. The free tier will operate on https which offers an excess layer of security. Especially important for on-site personal data exchange (e.g. credit card or email address).
Regrettably, we wish Weebly offered more in the method of backup and restore systems. You have to look after it manually by conserving your website as a .zip file regularly. And there is no restore function in case disaster strikes. Wix, for instance, monitors new adjustments and lets you jump back in time to a previous version of your website.
The First thing to note is that Weebly doesn't have a whole lot of template designs (around 50), but you should easily have the ability to find one you like. There are different classes available. Online Store, Business, Portfolio, Personal, Event and Blog.
They automatically look great on every Device (by being responsive), and they can be adapted to match your own personal requirements, using the templates as a base. No need for you to get a web design degree!
We'd say yes, with a caveat. It is great to Sell physical and digital products for small and medium-sized stores, but not for big ones. Although you can use the import and export function to handle large number of items, you might discover Weebly lacking in features for enormous stores.
Ultimately, it's worth noting that although You're able to create a store using the Starter and Pro plan, updating to Business and higher makes more sense. You are going to get the automatic delivery and sales tax calculator, which is extremely useful for serious shop owners. Furthermore, you won't need to cover an additional transaction charge of 3%.
You bet! There are no less than 300 apps in Quite a few classes like eCommerce, Communication, Marketing, Social, or Site Tools. Some are free, some are compensated. Some are constructed by Weebly, some by third party programmers. For the latter, there is always an (unlikely) chance that it may shut down a single day. Also a pity the programs produced by Weebly are quite limited.
However, 1 thing all of the programs have in Common is a super easy installation feature. One click and bam! All apps are tested and will work immediately on your website. We attempted some cool ones like a way to include tables, event calendars, and data bars to display special info. Our only qualm is that the quality and quantity of apps is a slightly inferior those from the Wix App Store.
Weebly provides Hosting for all of the sites which are built on their platform. That can be good or bad, however in Weebly's situation, it is a pro. They have rapid load rates. Their sites are optimized for their own hosting. They take care of security against hackers and spam. With company plans, they even install and maintain SSL across your whole website. Here's my speed test.
There Are still speed and security dangers, but it's an edge for many site owners to have someone else take care of speed, security, backups, etc.. The price tag is bundled with pro and completely free accounts, so it is a solid value-add.
Whenever You start some piece of software — no matter how instinctive — there is that moment where you think"ok, what do I do now?" This process is called onboarding, and it's also incredibly hard to implement well.
The Software manufacturer doesn't want to be annoying, but they also wish to provide help. I really like how Weebly assembles in solid onboarding and education not just via email drip sequence but also via little info buttons constructed with their platform.
One Promoted advantage of using a comprehensive website builder is you won't need to write HTML or CSS code. You can just drag and drop elements. Everything you find in the builder is what you receive on the site.
It is Not always that simple. There is a whole lot of nuances to"drag and drop." Most of us actually mean"I want to click and drag this element and transfer it into a general area where it will seem good — you know, mechanically centered, etc." In other words, it's like playing tee-ball rather than baseball…or bowling with gutter guards up. You want to do something, but also have a bit of help.
For The most part, Weebly pulls this off. Their drag and drop really works. And, for the control freaks among us, they provide access to some custom CSS module, so that you may edit the template to precisely your own choosing.
With An all-inclusive system, client support can troubleshoot and fix any matter. This is a huge advantage of website builder platforms in general, but especially using Weebly since they have telephone support.
The Big advantage of creating your own website on your host is that you don't need to depend on a platform's feature set. If you proceed the stage route, it's essential to be sure they have all the features you desire and need.
Even Beyond the complex necessities, Weebly also includes features including forums, subscription choices, integrated marketing options, file uploads, etc.. They also have eCommerce alternatives, which I will cover individually below.
If You go the comprehensive website builder course, Weebly's feature set should offer whatever you will need for typical personal/business sites (though as we will see in the Cons section, you really do need to be especially aware of innovative options).
If You are starting a website and plan on selling a few things here and there or in case you have an offline presence (ie, pop-up shops) and you would like to market online, the Weebly offers a ready-made alternative with closely integrated ecommerce characteristics which should just get better.
I have Been using website builders for 20 years since the Homestead.com days and have been closely paying attention to this industry for the previous five decades. 1 overarching trend is a company's structure pushes product investment more than the marketing group or the product group.
Even In a fast paced marketplace, a organization's structure and finish goals will dictate how it acts and what investments it gets. As I outlined in my Wix vs. Weebly vs. Squarespacestructure can vary wildly among direct competitors.
Total Pricing is very competitive not only compared to other all-inclusive website buildersbut also with buying your own hosting. Their Starter plan starts approximately $8/mo when paid up front. Plus they don't possess the typical caps of other site builders. The Pro plan adds solid features and stays under $12/mo.
And Again — you will notice that everything is accessible and unlimited. There are no limits on pages or storage space. And unlike competitors like Wix, they remove all ads with the initial paid grade.
In comparison To building your own site on your host and especially with other site builders, Weebly's pricing is very aggressive. Cost is not everything, however I love how they structure it.
There's No way to add custom content forms (except within an individual page). If you're arranging a massive site (such as hundreds of pages), the articles within Weebly would need a private system to maintain it sorted and readily accessible.
The Last huge drawback of Weebly is that moving to a new platform is difficult. If you would like to move somewhere else, including your own WordPress powered site, Assessing your articles and redirecting your URLs are going to be a difficult procedure.
Since Weebly allows for HTML editing, most marketing tools and attributes can be added to your site. But as you still don't have 100% control over your site & server — it can be challenging and/or impossible to add advanced marketing tools like an EV SSL, custom email collection tools, custom analytics packages, custom social stocks, specific Schemas and A/B testing computer software.
In The jargon — the principal issue isn't having"origin" or"FTP" access to your server files. This isn't an unsolvable problem, but it's something to be aware of if you're arranging a long-term project.
A bonus for Weebly is that their eCommerce performance. You can sell products from the Weebly site without changing platforms or doing any special developments. It fits in effortlessly and has solid performance.
It's Great for sites which are mostly lead-generation, informational, etc but also wish to sell a few products. It's also a good match for anyone testing out products before going into a long-term stage. It is not a long-term fit for websites that are eCommerce-first. For all those, an internet store you own with WordPress + WooCommerce or even a specialty eCommerce platform like Shopify (review) or Bigcommerce (review) would be a much better match.
If You are wanting to build a long-term content or direct generation website, then I'd look at WordPress.com (for content) or Wix (for overall drag & drop) rather than Weebly. Even if Weebly meets your needs now, they may not in the future.
When we first started testing Weebly many Years ago, it was just another website builder. That has completely changed. Weebly has evolved into an outstanding website building tool which is far better than most competitors. It's simple, uncluttered and simple to use — which is precisely what people with limited technical abilities need when it comes to creating their own internet presence.
Of course, it's not 100% perfect. We'd like To observe a bit more templates, as an example. Finding an email address attached to a domain name is also a little pricey, as they urge G Suite, which costs $5 a month, per user. (Although there are workarounds, as you can see in the FAQ below).
But all in all, Weebly reaches the very top of our list of site builders. Their ease of use combined with cool tools such as the iOS or Android app for editing your site on the move, or the number of add-ons available from the app center makes it robust, and fun to use.

Map, Turtle Tracks
Most turtles are thousands of kilometers south of where we initially satellite tagged them by now. Christie is an excellent example of this. She is the classic post-foraging (feeding) season "Canadian" leatherback.
Asha and Beverly, on the other hand, are a different story. These tracks are anomalous. Asha actually recently briefly popped back into Canadian waters! She's just about 500 kilometres from where we tagged her at the start of August.
"It's not behaviour we've ever previously observed in leatherbacks that have just finished a foraging season in continental shelf waters off Atlantic Canada," said Canadian sea turtle expert Dr. Mike James. "What we've observed with these two turtles is more akin to what has been observed for turtles departing nesting beaches in the western Atlantic."
If you click here and also here, you will find the tracks of leatherback turtles that were satellite tagged on nesting beaches in South America and the Caribbean. Some of them travelled through the same area Beverly is in.
"Asha and Beverly are effectively staying at high latitudes, at least for now. But although these are northern waters, they are not cold because they are under the influence of the warm Gulf Stream current," Mike continued. "The edge of that current represents a dynamic, productive environment where the turtles are clearly finding prey. It's possible the turtles may even over-winter at high latitudes within the influence of the northern edge of the Gulf Stream; however, at this point, it's really too early to tell. Either turtle would still have plenty of time to head down to Trinidad or one of the other nesting colonies and nest this season."
I wish you could hear the precise note in Mike's voice as he talked—a combination of "Hmm, why doesn't this fit the pattern?" and the exciting, "Hey! This doesn't fit the pattern!" crossed with a dose of extreme, infectious curiosity.

The Watchtowers was released in 2016 by HiG through CundCo.
This mini expansion features watchtowers that you can build in and around Carcassonne. Each tower watches over different things and is more valuable the more it watches over.
This expansion has been developed for the Carcassonne base game and its rules still apply. You can combine it with other expansions - but at your own risk – i.e. there will be no official rules for these combinations.
Shuffle the 12 land tiles showing the watchtowers together with those from the base game.
When you draw a land tile showing a watchtower, place it according to the known rules.
After placing a land tile showing a watchtower, you may place one of your meeples on the tile according to the normal rules. You may place it on a city or a road, or in a field as a farmer. You may not place it on the watchtower itself.
Example: You place a tile showing a watchtower and place a meeple in the city. You may not place it on the watchtower though.
When a completed road or a city contains a tile which features a watchtower, and there is a meeple on the feature (city, road) on that tile, the watchtower is scored first. The completed road or city is scored afterwards.
This does not apply to farmers. Farmers do not trigger scoring for watchtowers.
Example 1: Your city has been completed. First you score 8 points (4 meeples x 2 points) with the watchtower. Then you get 6 points for the city.
Example 2 - Same situation with a different watch tower: you score 4 points with the tower (4 tiles showing a part of a city x 1 point) and then 6 points for the city itself.

Five people were arrested after two activists chained themselves to a 100kg concrete block to prevent vehicles from entering a Sussex drilling site on Monday (June 12), according to Sussex Police.
Lara Bloch, 22, unemployed, of Southmont, Brighton, and Sarah McNichol, 22, unemployed, of Princes Terrace, Brighton, were arrested and charged with disrupting lawful activity, contrary to Section 241 of the Trade Unions Act, after allegedly locking themselves on to each other at the entrance to the site.
A police spokesman said: "Both have been bailed to appear before Worthing Magistrates' Court on July 11.
"Three further people arrested on suspicion of wilfully obstructing a highway, contrary to the Highways Act – an 84-year-old woman from Egham in Surrey, a 65-year-old woman from Staines-Upon-Thames in Middlesex and a 24-year-old man from Brighton – were all released under investigation.
Exploratory oil drilling at Broadford Bridge, Billingshurst, has been the focus of various campaigns for many months, but last month site permit holder UK Oil and Gas confirmed work was expected to start 'shortly'.
Police liaison officers were called to the scene on Monday, and specialists arrived soon after to cut the protesters from a concrete block.
A spokesman for Sussex Police said officers have been at the site since drilling started to deal with protesters.
This protest comes after a 41-year-old man from Lindfield was arrested on May 25 on suspicion of causing wilful obstruction of the highway and subsequently released under investigation, police said.
A spokesman for UK Oil and Gas said: "We support the right to peaceful protest, but this type of anti-social behaviour is an extraordinary waste of precious police resources and is solely aimed at preventing us from going about our lawful business.
"Given recent events in Manchester and London, these people should realise that the police have far more pressing calls on their valuable time and resources.

Here is a video explaining the workshop "In Silico Building" (tutors: Paul EHRET & Philipp EVERSMANN) taking place in the Faculty of Architecture at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). They produced the stunning folded steel structure which you saw on during our unit trip and which was part of the "Material Matters" exhibition at the Centre George Pompidou in Paris, france.
Below are two videos made from the exercises shown at the DS10/Inter9 Grasshopper class at the Architectural Association.
The first video shows the trail left by points constrained by springs, end points and gravity. The Arch moves up and to the side, leaving a beautiful trace which reminded me of the pictures of Edouard Muybridge. It was done with Grasshopper and the free Kangaroo plugin by Daniel Piker.
The second video is a very simple example of recursion using Hoopsnake byVolatile Prototype for Grasshopper: A line rotates on another line and this new line becomes the currrent one on which the rotation is done and so one and so forth. Depending on the angle of the rotation and its location on the curve, these amazing patterns get created.
This is an Arduino workshop that we are organising at the Google Campus, London, in November 2012 with Simply Rhino. It is a is a five days long initiation to the concept of adaptive structure. After two days of advanced Grasshopper, Processing and Arduino training, we will provide simple physical modeling components as well as actuators and sensors to create responsive structures reacting to movement, light and forces.
Tutors: Gennaro Senatore, Daniel Piker, Ollie Palmer and Arthur Mamou-Mani.

Design in all disciplines is becoming more and more centered around digital tools. Previously very specific manual skills were prioritised, however increasingly digital tools are being learnt, skills that can be applied across disciplines, such as Architecture, Fashion and Industrial design.
With this in mind and having always had a interest for the body, textiles, and dealing in 1:1 scale, I recently joined the a AA Paris visiting school, 'BUILDING FASHION', which, used various Architectural techniques and 3D Modelling software to develop garments.
We began by material testing, both physically and digitally, taking the opportunity to utilise and develop my Grasshopper and Kangaroo skills on the surface of the body. I looked at the idea of tenacity and opacity and translating it into a simple material system. I developed a simple strip system, which when manipulated increased the complexity of the elements, creating interesting geometric shapes and performative functions.

Also known as the "liquidation" bankruptcy, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy provides protection from creditor harassment and financial relief from many of the debts that overwhelm individuals. This is the most popular form of bankruptcy available because it allows individuals to discharge credit card debt, medical bills, unsecured loans and more without having to repay a single dime. In addition, any creditor lawsuits or wage garnishments must immediately cease after an individual files for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
If you are considering this widely popular and highly efficient form of bankruptcy, it is wise to contact a lawyer before proceeding. In order to qualify for this type of bankruptcy protection in Florida, you must be able to pass a means test. A means test evaluates your income compared to the median income level in your area, and you must make less than the median income to qualify for Chapter 7 protection. Even if you know that you earn less than the median income, you will still have to undergo a means test to determine how much disposable income you have.
Call a Stuart bankruptcy lawyer today!
One of the benefits of filing under Chapter 7 bankruptcy is that you will be able to keep all of your exempt assets. While these assets differ from state to state, your home, vehicle, and other personal assets are all protected by the State of Florida constitution. Filing for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy can be a complex process that requires the guidance of a skilled attorney, but it is almost always the quickest form of bankruptcy available. Here at Crary Buchanan, we have decades of experience helping individuals file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection. Throughout our years of experience, we have gained unique insight into bankruptcy law and the intricacies of Chapter 7 claims. A lawyer from our firm will walk you through the process involved with Chapter 7 bankruptcy so that you can achieve the financial freedom that you need.

Instagram's ad spend grew more than 100x sequentially this quarter.
Advertisers can't get enough of Instagram, according to ad agency MEC Global. Speaking on Nomura's fourth-quarter Internet advertising trends conference call, the agency's head of social media for North America Noah Mallin said his clients are spending "something like 11,000%" more on Instagram ads in the fourth quarter compared to the third quarter.
That's some news that will make Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) investors smile. Of course, the sudden increase in Instagram ad spend isn't a complete surprise, considering Instagram just opened its ads API this summer. But the amount of growth and where it's coming from should please Facebook investors and put some fear into Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) investors.
That growth rate doesn't give investors much to go on. 11,000% more than $1 is just $110. Luckily, Mallin provided a few more details. He expects his clients to spend about 2% of their Facebook budgets in the fourth quarter on Instagram ads. For reference, analysts are currently expecting Facebook to generate around $5 billion in ad revenue this quarter -- 2% is $100 million.
$100 million might not sound like much compared to the amount Facebook brings in, but it's more ad revenue than Twitter made in all of 2011 -- the first full year of its promoted products. 2011 also happens to be the year when Twitter was the same age Instagram is now.
What's more, Mallin says, "We're not seeing cannibalization." So, that 2% of Facebook ad spend is all incremental to Facebook's revenue. He also indicated that Facebook's ability to cross-target users on both Instagram and Facebook help feed ad spend on both platforms.
In other words, Instagram's growth isn't coming from Facebook. If anything, it's fueling more spending on the parent company's platform.
Twitter is growing its ad revenue in spite of its lack of user growth. This comes from increasing the number of businesses bidding on ads for its platform, the amount each business is spending, and how many ads Twitter shows to its users.
Now that Instagram has opened its ads API, it could stop more businesses from trying Twitter and opting to use Instagram instead. What's more, it will limit the amount any advertiser will spend on Twitter. The only lever Twitter can exercise control over is its ad load, which provides limited growth (since you can't have a timeline full of ads).
The immediate results of Instagram's open ads API and the lack of Facebook cannibalization indicate that marketers would rather spend their social ad dollars on Instagram than smaller social networks like Twitter. As Instagram continues to grow, and Twitter's user growth slows even more, the latter will have an even harder time attracting advertisers and more ad spend.
Investors should look for more insights on Instagram's early advertising efforts during Facebook's fourth-quarter earnings report due in late January. Management has yet to release anything official regarding Instagram's ad business.

Press Releases U.S. Rep. Gallagher: Introduce bipartisan Promising Pathways Act
U.S. Rep. Gallagher: Introduce bipartisan Promising Pathways Act
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) today joined Reps. Mike Quigley (D-IL), Bruce Westerman (R-AR), and Eric Swalwell (D-CA) in introducing the bipartisan, bicameral Promising Pathways Act. The bill would create a means for FDA to streamline provisional approval for drugs that may treat or prevent a serious or life-threatening disease or condition. Companion legislation was introduced in the U.S. Senate by Senator Mike Braun. Click HERE for bill text.
"By expediting the process in which critical medicines can hit the market, we support innovation and improve patients' access to lifesaving treatments," said Rep. Gallagher. "I'm proud to support this common-sense bill, and look forward to working with my colleagues to get this across the finish line."
"I am proud to have introduced this legislation alongside my colleagues today," said Rep. Quigley. "Every day, people across America are diagnosed with neurodegenerative diseases with few to no options for treatment or cures. As we continue to face a global pandemic, we have all had to sit with the fear that accompanies a fast-moving, devastating, fatal disease. This gives us just a small insight into the suffering patients with ALS—and other terminal illnesses—have been facing for years. This bill necessarily disrupts the status quo, prioritizes new strategies for treatment, and pushes the envelope for innovations in the effort to find cures."
"Scientific research has made great progress with potential treatments and cures, but I frequently hear from patients suffering with terminal conditions and who can't get access to necessary therapies," said Rep. Westerman. "The lengthy approval process and high costs associated with clinical trials delay companies from getting potentially lifesaving medication into the hands of those who need it most. The Promising Pathways Act would create another avenue of access, allowing patients to receive safe, effective medicine, even if they don't qualify for the strict clinical trial requirements. I'm pleased to join my colleagues in introducing this bill, and with Sen. Braun's companion bill in the Senate, we can hopefully get this legislation passed and signed into law as quickly as possible."
"The Promising Pathway Act would require the FDA to create a prioritized high-speed lane for evaluating drugs intended to treat, prevent, or diagnose serious or life-threatening diseases, including those that pose an epidemic or pandemic threat," said Rep. Swalwell. "I'm committed to finding cures for those suffering from rare and potentially fatal diseases, and this bill helps us fight for those with conditions like ALS and cancer while also strengthening our response to future pandemics."
As a member of the ALS caucus, this bill is a part of Rep. Gallagher's work to improve access to lifesaving treatments for those with terminal illnesses like ALS.
"A tragic diagnosis of ALS automatically imparts a fatal and swift downward spiral. Urgency in finding a treatment and cure becomes the touchstone for each person living with ALS. By introducing the Promising Pathway Act Congressmen Gallagher, Quigley, Swalwell and Westerman are providing another arrow in the quiver for the FDA to quicken the release of potential life enhancing treatments. We encourage quick passage of this life saving legislation," said Tom Kettler, Public Policy Chairman and Past President ALS Association Wisconsin Chapter.
"The ALS Association strongly supports the Promising Pathway Act to create a faster pathway for new therapies," said Calaneet Balas, president and CEO of The ALS Association."This bill advances efforts to bring effective treatments to everyone with ALS as soon as possible. We look forward to working together to ensure Congress passes this bill quickly."
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) refers to the clinical trial process for prescription drugs in phases, i.e. Phase I, II and III. Early clinical trials (Phases I and II) establish and confirm safety while providing a considerable amount of data, often enough to statistically predict successful confirmatory trials. Confirmatory trials (Phase III) further test effectiveness and are the last step to a drug entering the market for patients' use under a New Drug Application or Biologics License Application approval.
However, Phase III trials are extremely time-consuming and expensive, in some cases costing billions of dollars. If the FDA determines a drug doesn't meet its standards of safety or effectiveness, small pharmaceuticals attempting to bring innovative drugs to market and compete with large drug companies can go bankrupt during Phase III trials.
The Promising Pathways Act would allow pharmaceutical companies to petition the FDA for provisional approval if the drug has cleared early stage clinical trials, already having proven safety and showing significant evidence of effectiveness. The company could then sell their drug at a market acceptable rate, give patients access to innovative treatments and compete with large, monopolistic pharmaceuticals to lower consumer cost.

15 Unique Things To Do In SF's Golden Gate Park
Park activities range from horseback riding on the beach to lawn bowling and even a place to use your fly fishing skills.

Golden Gate Park (GGP) in San Francisco contains a multitude of areas that cater to unique sports, activities, and hobbies. The park contains 1,017 acres of land with specialized areas for numerous sports and activities to enjoy if you know where to look. Here are a few unique activities that have a home in Golden Gate Park.
1. Archery
@hellatrumpet via Instagram
San Francisco has a surprisingly long history with archery, with the current range dating back to 1933. It's a fairly simple range with 9 large hay bales sitting at the edge of a field, which archers affix targets to. On a given day you'll run into archery enthusiasts from all walks of life wielding powerful compound bows, popular recurve bows, and traditional longbows, to name a few. If you'd like to use the range, plan ahead, as there are no equipment rentals or instruction available on-site. Several local shops can get you outfitted and teach you, beginner, to advanced lessons. For rentals and lessons check out SF Archery, with lessons also available through SF Recreation and Parks.
Location: 47th Avenue and Fulton
2. Disc Golf
@scottyvotography via Instagram
Disco Golf was invented in the 1960s and formalized as a sport in the '70s. It's similar to golf but instead of balls and clubs, players use flying discs, with a goal of reaching each hole in the fewest throws. GGP built its tightly wooded 18-hole course near Marx Meadow in 2007, which is fun for beginners and challenging enough for experts. No equipment rental or instruction is available on-site but the SF Disc Golf Club is a great resource for information and upcoming events.
Location: 99 Marx Meadow Drive
3. Fly Fishing

You probably won't catch any Rainbow Trout in GGP, but you can definitely keep your casting and fly-fishing skills sharp at the Angler's Lodge and casting pools. The Lodge and pools were dedicated in 1938 and have hosted casting classes and national tournaments ever since. The site is managed by the Golden Gate Angling and Casting Club (GGACC) and has served as a refuge for local anglers as well as a hub of innovation in the angling and casting community. The casting pools are open to the public and free to use. More information on equipment rental and lessons is available on the GGACC website.
Location: 1232 John F. Kennedy Drive
4. Lawn Bowling

The SF Lawn Bowling Club (SFLBC), established in 1901, holds the title of "America's oldest municipal lawn bowling club." With two beautifully maintained rinks and a historic clubhouse, the game is frequently and enthusiastically played here by newcomers and veteran bowlers alike. Related to other similar boules games like bocce and petanque, Lawn Bowling is played by throwing a small ball or "jack" down the rink and then taking turns rolling flat-sided balls or "bowls" with the goal of getting them as closer to the jack than your opponent. The SFLBC offers free lessons on an appointment basis.
Location: 320 Bowling Green Drive
5. Horseback Riding
A ride through GGP on horseback isn't just for the park rangers. Chaparral Ranch uses the park's Bercut Equitation Field as a home base and offers children's pony rides, riding lessons, and exciting trail rides. For an enjoyable outing in the park individuals and groups can book a 60-minute ride through the park or 90-minute rides on Ocean Beach. Rides are available Wed-Sun 10am-5pm.
Location: Bercut Equitation Field
6. Horseshoes

The GGP horseshoe pits are fairly well hidden in the northeastern corner of the park and occupy what feels like a micro canyon. Constructed in 1926, the site features 16 pits, and a giant bas-relief of a horseshoe pitcher built into the hillside. No equipment rental is available, but if you have your own horseshoe the pits are free to use and first come, first served.
Location: Conservatory Drive East, just North of the Fuschia Dell.
7. Pickle Ball

This fun and accessible sport is a mix between tennis, badminton, and ping pong, and you can play it at the Lisa & Douglas Goldman Tennis Center in GGP. The sport was invented in 1965 but has has enjoyed a recent surge in popularity.
Location: Lisa & Douglas Goldman Tennis Center
8. Bocce
@sfrecpark via Instagram
Two beautiful Bocce courts are available to use in the park's Stanyan Edge recreation area. Bocce is an Italian ball game where teams take turns rolling large balls (bocce) towards a smaller ball (pallino), with the goal of getting your bocce closer to the pallino than the other team. It's a great party game that rewards precision over strength and is equally easy to play with an Aperol spritz in hand. The bocce courts are conveniently located next to Flywheel Coffee's outdoor cafe, adding a nice Italian vibe to the whole experience.
Location: Stanyan and Page Street
9. Model Yacht Sailing
Spreckels Lake is home to ducks, turtles, and most importantly, miniature yachts. Yes, the lake is home to SF's Model Yacht Club where white-sailed replicas of classic yachts, both powered and sail, are lovingly built, stored, maintained, and launched on Spreckels Lake. The club started in 1898 and maintains a clubhouse directly across from the lake. The best time to see these boast in action is Saturday for sailboats and Sunday for powerboats.
Location: Spreckels Lake
10. Drum Circle

A weekly drum circle is held every Saturday and Sunday at the base of Hippie Hill, from mid-day until late afternoon. This casual drop-in consists of a core group of performers who bring guitars, didgeridoos, and a variety of percussion instruments. In an area with '60s icons plastered on every storefront and t-shirt shop, the drum circle feels like a rare and honest connection to the area's Summer of Love roots. Bring your own drum or just lay down a blanket and enjoy the music.
Location: Hippie Hill at Robin Williams Meadow
11. Handball/Racquetball

Hidden behind Big Rec Fields baseball diamond are the park's handball and racquetball courts which offer two indoor and two outdoor courts for the sports. Both games are fun, and strenuous, and enjoy a dedicated following across SF. Bring your own equipment but no reservation is required to play.
Location: Between Big Rec Ball Field and Nancy Pelosi Drive.
12. Roller Skating
Skatin' Place is a small paved area for anyone on rollerskates and blades who wants to join the fun. You'll find a dedicated community of skaters present throughout the week with a vibrant community of skaters converging on the weekends. Expect some impressive dance moves, funky tunes, great outfits, and a welcoming community.
Location: East of the 8th Avenue entrance off of JFK Drive in Golden Gate Park.
13. Skateboarding
The Waller Street Skate Park is a local hub for the skateboarding community where all skill levels are welcome. The large concrete area features boxes, rails, and ramps that attract skaters of all ages.
Location: Waller and Stanyan
14. Vintage Base Ball
Big Rec baseball diamond is one of several venues where you can enjoy Bay Area Vintage Base Ball, a league of teams that play with 1886 rules equipment, and etiquette. They play with hand-turned baseball bats, vintage-style baseball, and other era-specific equipment. It's a little bit of history and a lot of fun.
Location: Big Rec Ball Field – Nealon Diamond
15. Row/Paddle Boating

Whether you choose to row or paddleboat your way around Stow Lake, you're in for a very good time. The scenery is incredible and it's a fun and easy way to explore the area. Migratory birds, stone bridges, flowers, and towering trees all make for a storybook experience.
Location: Stow Lake Boathouse.
