Illinois JJDPA FFY2010 3-Year Plan Update #1
Section 4 - Plan for Compliance with the Disproportionate Minority Contact (DMC) Core
4C - Progress Made in FY2009
Statewide & Site's Progress
Peoria County
JJDPA Title II - Update #1
2010 Title II 3-Year Plan Update #1 (pdf)
Peoria County DMC continues to monitor juvenile justice data related to their identified target populations. These are youth charged with aggravated battery and youth detained on warrants for failure to appear for a court date or technical violations of probation. Through the implementation of community programs, as well as efforts to work with school and court officials to bring systemic change, a reduction in DMC has occurred.
A county-wide DMC assessment conducted in 2004 determined that substantial numbers of African-American youth admitted to detention were held as a result of aggravated battery charges, and that nearly half (47 percent) of aggravated battery charges stemmed from incidents at school. Looking closely at the circumstances of those aggravated battery charges, the DMC Project concluded that modifications to the county's risk assessment instrument and implementing a Balanced and Restorative Justice (BARJ) Program might lead to reductions to DMC. Teacher training in the use of Peace Keeping Circles began at one high school and one middle school in FY 2006.
Although the Circles training occurred in 2006, the foundation for this effort began in 2005 with planning and sub-committee meetings with Peoria Public Schools. From the time of the meeting with school officials in November 2005, there was a steady decline in aggravated battery admissions to the Peoria County Juvenile Detention Center. The purpose of our meetings was to facilitate, rather than direct, discussions about police reports and data related to aggravated battery offenses. After reviewing the information, the School District agreed to enforce the correct implementation of the current discipline protocol that included several steps before involving the police. It appeared, through the police reports, that the protocol was not being followed and that law enforcement personnel were being introduced into the situation far too early, resulting in confrontation.
The DMC Coordinator co-facilitated the Circles training, which require an extensive time commitment on the part of both the teachers and the trainers. The duration of Circle training is 24 hours, as teachers meet for three days, eight hours each day. The teachers invested a combined total of 2,088 professional development hours toward the betterment of their students. Training 87 teachers required 144 total hours of training on the part of the DMC Coordinator. Peoria DMC believes the commitment on the part of the teachers is impressive and will be evident as they facilitate Circles at their schools.
Staff from five schools participated in the Circles training, which potentially allows for 1,166 students to be impacted by the supportive, healing benefits of Peacemaking Circles. The children who attend these five schools are from neighborhoods in Peoria with high rates of crime and poverty. Two of the five schools work exclusively with youth exhibiting negative or violent behavior, placing them at high risk for suspension and/or expulsion. In addition, these schools have a predominantly African-American population. A further reduction in the number of minority youth detained is anticipated, as the number of referrals between school and juvenile detention decrease. A survey covering January through May of 2009 was given to the teachers and students who participated in the training. The survey gauged participants' assessment of the overall effectiveness and usefulness of the training. At Manual High school, 68 percent of respondents claimed that the trainings helped to improve respect between teachers and students, 58 percent said that negative behaviors in class have reduced since the circles began, and 53 percent reported that relationships between teachers have improved.
Progress has steadily increased. Three additional schools have implemented Peace Circles: the Kiefer School, Manual 7/8 Grade Academy and the Knoxville Center for Success. At this time, a data tracking system is being developed to monitor the effectiveness of Circles. This is in addition to surveys, which will again this year be distributed at the end of the school year. Peer Jury was successfully implemented at Manual High School and also at Manual 7/8 Grade Academy as well as the Knoxville Center for Student Success. Efforts will be made to continually measure the effectiveness of Peer Jury in keeping youth from going deeper into the criminal justice system. Although Peoria has just begun this evaluation process, to date, none of the youth seen in Peer Jury have penetrated deeper into the juvenile justice system of Peoria County.
Peer Jury was successful at Manual High School and will this school year be implemented in the Manual 7/8 Grade Academy as well as the Knoxville Center for Student Success. The site will continue to monitor the effectiveness of Peer Jury in keeping youth from going deeper into the criminal justice system. Although the evaluation process has only recently begun, to date none of the youth seen in Peer Jury have penetrated deeper into the juvenile justice system of Peoria County.
Domestic Violence Proposal
Since the beginning of the year, Steven Kossman and Jeff Gress, co-chairs of Peoria's Juvenile Justice Council, and the Detention Superintendent have worked to develop an alternative to secure detention for juveniles charged with Domestic Battery. Currently, juveniles charged with Domestic Battery are automatically detained per our detention screening instrument. This provision was incorporated in the instrument as previously there was no other alternative placement available other than secure detention.
Through CCBYS (Comprehensive Community Based Youth Services), juveniles charged with Domestic Battery can be referred to this program for investigation into alternative placement. Referral to this program would be limited only to those juveniles charged with Domestic Battery in which no serious injury or medical treatment was necessary for the victim. A protocol for such a situation was developed and shared with our Juvenile Division State's Attorney for review. Unfortunately, to date there has been no further movement on the proposal, as it has stalled with the State's Attorney's Office.
The Peace Project
In this final year of its current DMC grant from the IJJC, Peoria County's goal is to switch from a 'project' to 'programs.' This is an opportunity to share this funding with the community so that reduction can occur towards the over-representation of minority youth involved in the juvenile justice system. DMC dollars will be used to leverage programs to ensure that our efforts to reduce DMC continue once Commission funding ends.
These seed dollars are an investment in the lives of the youth in our community and will support programs geared toward creating peace, reducing crime and preventing youth involvement with the juvenile justice system.
Because funding is not sufficient to support a DMC Coordinator position, the Peace Project is a way to incorporate community collaboration and capacity building into our efforts to reduce disproportionality.
The goal is to leverage new and innovative programs/activities by providing seed funding. Ideally, these programs and/or activities will be sustainable through other means once Commission funding ends.
Juvenile Justice Council
$22,500 available for mini-grant distribution
Will review Peace Project and make recommendations for change/improvements
Develop Peace Project Ad-hoc committee (Ad-hoc committee members cannot apply)
Committee will finalize application process (application, timelines, distribution)
Committee will define reporting process for awardees
Committee will review applications and select awardees
The Peace Project will seed the development of new programs and or activities. These seed dollars will not replace funding to support existing programs, but could be used for program expansion to support programs/activities that would otherwise not exist without this funding opportunity.
Four programs were selected to receive funding. The state DMC Coordinator served on a review committee charged with reviewing and selecting the program applications. Each program will submit a quarterly report beginning January 15, 2010. All reports will be shared with the IJJC and the Peoria County Juvenile Justice Council. Additionally, each program will appear before the Council to discuss the progress of their program.
The Lawndale DMC Advisory Board continues to provide information to the IJJC on a quarterly basis. The reports describe detention strategies and community initiatives, and illustrate the progress made in FY2009.
The Lawndale Community is located on the west side of Chicago and is sometimes referred to as North Lawndale and South Lawndale. The 2000 Census reports the following data for the North Lawndale Community: total population, 41,768; Caucasian, not Hispanic, 383; African-American, 39,363; Hispanic, 1,896; unemployed, 16 years of age and over, 3,304; and families with incomes below poverty, 3,958. The data for South Lawndale are as follows: total population, 91,071; Caucasian, not Hispanic, 3,210; African-American, 12,097; Hispanic, 75,613; unemployed 16 years of age and over, 3,626; families with incomes below poverty, 3,905. Although the exact number of youth between the ages of 10 through 16 years in the Lawndale Community is unknown to the site at this time, the DMC Coordinator is currently working with the Illinois Department of Human Services to obtain this information as it is anticipated to be a significant number. There are more African-American youth in this community than any other race.
The Lawndale DMC site was launched in 2002. At its inception, a committee was formed to select a program coordinator, to lay the groundwork for the Advisory Board, and to define Lawndale's geographic boundaries. After conducting several interviews, a Coordinator was selected and then trained by the Burns Institute (BI). Members for the Advisory Board were selected based on the diversity suggested by the BI model. The members included community-based agency representatives, Chicago Police Department representatives, data analysts, Cook County Juvenile Probation Department personnel, Cook County Assistant State's Attorney representatives, and Cook County Juvenile Court Judiciary. Through the collaborative process, it was agreed that community boundaries would be determined by three ZIP codes - 60608, 60623, and 60624 -- all within the boundaries of the 10th Municipal Police District. These ZIP codes became the focal point for collecting arrest and detention data.
The Lawndale DMC has focused on 15- and 16-year-old African-American males brought in on juvenile arrest warrants as its target population. Attention has also been given to the total number of youth detained in the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center, particularly those youth who hail from the Lawndale area. Through dedicated efforts made by the Lawndale DMC, reductions have been seen in both of these areas.
In the third year, the Governance Board, based on community input, implemented community initiatives designed to provide employment skills, improve the relationship between teen fathers, their children, and girlfriends, develop leadership skills in teens, and engage Lawndale parents in meaningful forums. These programs continue to operate with community involvement.
Lawndale Youth Community Action Network (LYCAN) serves as a youth leadership/community organizing committee. This group meets bi-monthly to identify, discuss, and plan strategies to address local community issues related to youth involvement with Juvenile Justice. The youth develop strategies to improve community relationships between residents, local police department, and juvenile court personnel. This committee is comprised of approximately 30 community (non-system involved) and court-involved minors.
The Bridges-to-Manhood fatherhood program serves youth from the Lawndale community. This curriculum-based program provides service to court wards identified as fathers or fathers-to-be. During 2009 approximately 50 youth participated in the program.
Lawndale has also remained active in reducing recidivism through prevention programs. In the summer of 2009, over 30 system-involved youth participated in a tutorial program through Sylvan Learning Centers. Each of the youth received tutorial services across various academic disciplines. Follow-up with each youth's probation officer have shown that the youth have demonstrated improved academic performance for the 2009-2010 school year.


Stigma, or the devaluation of a person is a huge and pervasive problem in HD. In varying degrees, it burdens virtually all in families touched by this disease. Stigma is a two-edged sword: an outside cutting edge from public and intra-family sources, and an equally destructive inside cutting edge that is self-directed.
The factors that may contribute to stigma in HD have never been studied. But learning from studies of stigma in other diseases, it is likely due to a combination of several characteristics that define the disease: chorea, mental illness, cognitive loss and genetic basis of illness. Part 1 of this series will focus on chorea and how this symptom may contribute to stigma.
Chorea Chorea is HD's most visible symptom, and it likely contributes to stigma. Though not studied in HD, abnormal body movements and related stigma has been examined in Tourette Syndrome (TS), and to a lesser extent in Parkinson's disease (PD).
Tourettes: TS is a condition that has many similarities to HD. Though other symptoms can occur, TS is characterized by uncontrollable movements of the extremities or "tics". As in HD, the severity varies among individuals. Also like HD, the TS individual is not aware of the body movement although observers certainly are.
A recent study described how those with TS are perceived in public to address the question of why TS stigma is severe [Davis KK 2004]. Investigators showed that body movements are highly attention getting, and are psychologically disruptive to the public viewer. The TS individual is perceived as being out of control, which in turn can generate fear and anger among observers, particularly if the movement threatens to go into another's social space. And like HD, the body movements and abnormal gait are mistaken for, and automatically associated with alcohol or drug abuse -- that serves to further increase stigma. The degree of motor symptoms correlates with stigma, and in turn may result in frustration and anger directed at the observer.
As quoted in the Davis article, those with TS describe these reactions of people in public:"the staring, the strange looks, fear, the anger, hostility, or avoidance, or being stared at on the subway, edged away from at a bus stop or in line at the grocery store, pointed at outright by a whispering unthinking child. " These public reactions to TS are very consistent with those that occur in HD when chorea is prominent.
In TS, stigma is considered an important reason for drug treatment of tics. The "response of the environment is an important determinant of how disabling this symptommay be"[Sandor P 2003]. The author used "environment" to refer to both public and family situations.
Parkinson's: In PD certain parts of the movement disorder, the freezing of gait -- which disrupts walking -- is correlated with more stigma [Moore O 2007]. Younger age of onset in PD (less than 50) where more severe motor complications occur also correlates with stigma levels [Schrag A 2003]. Might a similar finding occur with a study in HD: more chorea, more stigma?
Summary: The mechanisms that cause public stigma to tics in TS are likely the same as those that chorea causes in HD: Like the tics of TS, chorea is highly visible, the HD individual similarly appears out of control with movement into others' physical space, and the gait is mistaken for alcohol abuse. Contrast this with Parkinson's disease (PD) for which there is lesser stigma than that of TS or HD: the movement disorder of PD is less visible and much more physically constrained in space and is not perceived as threatening by the public. But, even in this disease, stigma correlates with severity of visible motor symptoms.
Editor's comments: In a perfect world, we -- and society -- could separate the movement disorder from the person within, or we could all generate thicker skins so stigma wouldn't hurt -- and harm -- as much. But until the world is more perfect, might a greater effort to treat chorea decrease public stigma (at least that related to this symptom) for HD individuals and their families?
My opinion: Chorea is harmful. Just like tics, chorea harms by creating stigma -- and just like tics, when chorea is severe enough to contribute to stigma, this is reason enough for a treatment trial with care to balance benefit against the risks of drug treatment for each individual.


chris isham - Warning: Do Not Sleep in This Shirt!
This is more of a warning then it is a review. After reading all of the previous reviews I decided it was time for me to own this beauty of a shirt. Unfortunately, I spilled some bleach on one of the sleeves and it was relegated to night shirt status. So, after watching duck Dynasty and Call of the Wildman last week I put on my now sleeveless Three Wolf Moon Tee and hit the hay. The next thing I knew I had a nightmare about being attacked by three wolves on a mountain during a full moon. When I woke up I was completely drenched in sweat and covered in bite marks.
Laura Ponticello "Chatty Cathy" - Need a book to satisfy your hunger?
Let's face it- there alot of authors who proclaim to be great writers, but really stink. As a vigorous book lover, I read with all my friends in my book club and we tend to tear apart authors's that want to inspire women, but really put us to sleep.
That's why, I have to share with everyone, the book that satisfies my hunger, so much, that I want more and more. The Unlikely Lavender Queen- a must read for women, that takes the reader on amazing adventures. So many of us, can't fathom, being like Elizabeth Gilbert, in Eat, Pray and Love and running away somewhere to find ourselves.
That's why, YEAH, I loved indulging in Jeannie's adventures- you go girl! Books clubs, great conversation book over tea & chocolate, well at least, that's we have in my book club. Off for Unlikely Lavender Queen, - she rocks! Gotta tell all your girlfriends about this book.

WI vs IRE 2020: West Indies announce squad for first two ODIs of the three-match series
The selection panel of Cricket West Indies (CWI) on Wednesday announced the 14-man squad for the first two ODIs of the three-match series against Ireland. The day-night matches will be played at Kensington Oval in Barbados on January 7 and January 9.
Jason Holder is the only player to miss out from the Windies' last ODI assignment, a 2-1 series defeat away to India.
"The decision was taken to rest Jason due to the heavy workload he has had over the last year," the International Cricket Council (ICC) quoted West Indies' selector Roger Harper as saying.
"With an important year ahead for West Indies cricket, we saw this as the best opportunity to give him a break to recharge his batteries and refresh his mind so he could be ready to perform at his best as our Test captain throughout 2020, as the number one ranked all-rounder in Test cricket and an important member of the team in the white-ball formats", the statement read.
"This series against Ireland offers us the opportunity to build on the performances in India, build confidence as a team and for individual players. Just like the series against Afghanistan, the Ireland series is an important one for us, one we must win," Harper added.
Squad:
Kieron Pollard (c), Sunil Ambris, Roston Chase, Sheldon Cottrell, Shimron Hetmyer, Shai Hope, Alzarri Joseph, Brandon King, Evin Lewis, Keemo Paul, Khary Pierre, Nicholas Pooran, Romario Shepherd, Hayden Walsh Jr.

John Wick Chapter 2- The movie works, but its matrix doesn't
Posted on February 25, 2017 by paupakiwis
A mafia boss with a distinct European accent goes, "He's committed. He's focused….". Who is this person , well endowed- given the stock of buffed of men in silk suits decorating the peripheries of his tastefully lit cabin -singing litanies about? He's responding to his second in command's suggestion to eliminate the reason for their shift in location. The reason being a person. Not just another person, but the eponymous hero-John Wick. The bombastic prologue segues in a dark alley from where a sinewy silhouette walks towards. Enter, Keanu Reeves. We were expecting a hero to service the legend that was so elaborately woven around. What we instead get is the sight of a man trudging his way into the frame, like Dravid after third session at crease.
Let me first make one thing clear, I'm not as dismissive of Keanu Reeves like I was of Hank's atrocious hairdo as Robert Langdon. He's a fine looking guy. And like Hanks he doesn't have a distinct persona that would let him have a fourth wall breaking conversation from the vintage of a larger than life role. I never complained about him in the Matrix franchise. That ecosystem warranted a neutral looking bland person and it got one. But the Die Hard, Commando, Taken template of films are essentially testosterone spiking trips, as avant garde as the posturing may seem. John Wick's core is set in this space. Just that there's sincerity instead of swag, modesty instead of attitude. It's as tedious as it would've been, had Arjun played Raghavan in Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu.
When Bruce Willis moused through the nooks and corners of Nakotomi Tower to single handedly bring the villain's empire down , it was sheer delirium. An epidemic of wolf whistling ensued. And Mc Clane gladly acknowledged with a,"Yippee ki–yay, motherfucker!". And like that pop culture found an another parlance for posterity.
We're constantly being reminded that this lethal person's god's handpicked population control technique, ahh…"the boogeyman" as the people around hype him to be. But not in one of the infinite stunt sequence do you feel this palpable danger these people were talking about, if anything he looks endangered. It's that strange space we find ourselves in, were the one killing seems to be in danger more imminently than the ones getting killed. Vulnerability is a good thing- if it were an under dog account -it brings plausibility. But not when you're fashioning a legend of sorts. You don't want to shine on the fault lines.
All this critique isn't to take anything from the set pieces, that are invigoratingly staged. They're choreographed with a staggering vision; with an unctuous imagination. Like the stretch when two gunmen nonchalantly sprinkle bullets as they weave through a busy crowd, the claustrophobic combat in the train that ensues or the dexterous shootout in a dark tunnel But all of that translates to such uninspired action on scene, that it feels like a school annual day gig, with Reeves going through the motions with a post coital face, keeping track beneath his breath, of every kick and punch delivered. He's neither a skilled martial artist nor a luminous star to overlook the fact of not being one.
A man's assaulted pup's killed by a bunch of teenagers, one of who is a son of a Russian mafia lord. But little do they know that the pup ain't just another pup. It's the last gift from his late wife. And the man's no ordinary person. He's John Wick, one of the deadliest assassins on the face of earth. He's part of a brotherhood that lets him shop guns like shoes.He goes on to single-handedly reduces the mob empire to a debri of corpses and brick. End of first film.
Rinse and repeat-Sequel!
It does make for one hell of a read and it should've stayed that way. That way it could've teased our imagination about who could play John Wick.Some movies are better left in the pages till the right guy comes through. A star, who can elevate the material beyond the pages. That's the thing about star wattage, it makes a hero out of a mercenary when played right. And the lack of it, makes the mercenary,well…..Keanu Reeves.
Mani Ratnam- A master of imitation
There is this sweet spot in movie making that exists between imitation and inspiration that auteurs keep hitting from time to time. Nayagan is a wonderful case in point. Kamal and Ratnam's doff-of-hat homage to Coppola's Godfather, resulted in the creation of the most iconic characters in pop culture, Velu Nayakar. Nayakar was modelled on Corleone, looked like Varada Raja Mudaliyar and drew from Haasan's persona. It was a thesis on effectively implementing a western trope to eastern sensibilities-staying true to both, without diluting the other. This was first among the many times, Mani Ratnam would go on to paint vivid pictures of inspiration on celluloid.
Sometimes the inspiration came from a peer's work, like in the case of Mouna Ragam which is his interpretation of Bhagyaraj's Antha 7 Naatkal. Mouna Ragam like A7N dealt with that icky space between a husband and his wife's unrequited past romance. Like Rajeev, Mohan was a debonair gentleman who went out of his way to find a cozy spot for his wife outside the precincts of matrimony. They were dignified men, keen listeners content to be the number two in their woman's life. Antha 7… was a colourful tale with comedy, romance, tragedy and drama operating in tandem under the vigil of a path-breaking screenplay that lent each central character with dignity and empathy. Mouna Ragam dialed up the wife's disgruntlement, killed her ex and focused more on the evolution arc of the relationship with her husband, from being one of "kambilipoochi" like repulsion to a place of reverence. It felt like a vibrant Woody Allen film with a brilliant Ilaiyaraja score and a lot less cynicism.
Thalapathi was a case of inspiration from mythology and folklore. It was a contemporary adaptation of Karna's life- his friendship with Duryodhana, tumultuous relation with his estranged mother and his administering of dharma, Rajni style. It audaciously plucked the essence of central characters from Mahabharatha and tossed them in and around the heat of Chennai's vigilante establishments. It made for a riveting watch. Ditto with Roja, that spun the story of Satyava-Savitri against the backdrop of Kashmiri insurgency. The mythical anecdote suddenly assumed different shapes and connotations. It became a chest thumping account of a woman's resilience. It also turned a sort of flagship movie on nationalism, courtesy the invigorating Tamizha Tamizha sequence. The subversion of Yama into a humane terrorist was another stroke of genius.
If some of Mani's inspirations came from movies and some from mythology, some came from lives and times of personalities. Like the iconic Iruvar. It was his cinematic ode to the MGR-Karunanidhi saga. Like an overseeing conscience, it surreptitiously follows the journey of the two doyens of Dravidian politics through insignificance, friendship, one upmanship, envy, bitterness, ignominy and their eventual separation. It lets us partake in the head space of the two of the most fascinating men, as they traded blows at each other, lending relatability to prosaic anecdotes we've hitherto read and heard over the years, without taking sides.
And to bring to life, the story of how the founding stones of the nation's biggest business empire were laid, as a fascinating personal account is no mean stretch. Guru did this and more. It gave us a manipulative protagonist who took to business like life and to life like business. Gurukant Desai was a capitalist subversion of Nayagan's,"Nallu Peruku Naladhu na, Edhuvum Thapilla" commandment. The ruthlessness, the scant disregard for the rule book were all there, but unlike Velu Nayakar, all this doesn't culminate in the path of altruism. Guru's a scrupulous businessman. Period. When in a tight spot, he greases his way out. Like with every biopic worth its salt, Guru keeps us pondering from scene to scene, if this was Ambani or just Gurukanth. Ratnam never really bothers. He simply keeps blurring the line between the two.
Seen as a naive connoisseur of cinema, these are fascinating films with top notch production values, timeless performances, lilting scores. All in all, timeless pieces of art. If one wants to scratch beyond the surface, then these are masterful retelling of popular lives, progressive deconstruction of folklore and "what-if" discourse of enigmatic personas. What better way to embalm the legend of MGR, than through Ratnam's direction, Mohanlal's acting and Rahman's score?

Sheyla Gutiérrez Ruiz (Varea, Logroño, 1 de janeiro de 1994) é uma ciclista profissional espanhola. Atualmente corre para o UCI Team Feminino de Movistar. Sheyla participou ademais no Campeonato Mundial de Ciclismo em Estrada de 2014. Em novembro de 2015 foi anunciada como parte da equipa inaugural da equipa Cylance Pro Cycling para a temporada de 2016.

Biografia

Bons postos em categorias inferiores e estreia profissional
Como ciclista juvenil foi sexta no Campeonato Mundial em Estrada 2011 e sétima no de 2012 de sua categoria. Ademais, nessa categoria, foi campeã da Espanha em 2012.

Estreiou como profissional em 2013, na equipa vascão de categoria UCI Lointek. Em sua primeira corrida profissional, a Volta à Costa Rica disputada em fevereiro, conseguiu acabar em 15.ª posição a 17 min 55 s da vencedora depois de sofrer um desfallecimiento na 4.ª etapa onde perdeu mais de 13 minutos; ademais apareceu entre os primeiros postos das classificações secundárias dessa corrida.

Destacando no calendário nacional
Em junho de 2013 ganhou o Campeonato da Espanha em Estrada sub-23 (ao ser sexta no Campeonato em Estrada com sozinho 19 anos), ainda que esta vitória não se considera oficial ao não existir categoria sub-23 a efeitos UCI nos campeonatos nacionais. Ademais, um mês depois, foi a vencedora da Copa da Espanha, em categoria sub-23, depois da corrida disputada em Villamediana de Iregua, proclamando-se ademais subcampeona general de 2013.

Em 2014 começou a destacar algo mais tarde desta vez no final de maio com um 7.º posto no Grande Prêmio de Plumelec-Morbihan Feminino. Pouco depois fez-se com o terceiro lugar no Campeonato da Espanha em Estrada. No entanto, não subiu ao pódio de dito campeonato como só lha outorgou a medalha de ouro em categoria sub-23. O mesmo que a ocorreu em seu dia a Lizzie Armitstead entre outros ciclistas sub-23 destacados. Finalmente, ainda que a medalha de bronze recolhesse-a Leire Olaberria que ficou 4.ª, a efeitos UCI (que oficializa as classificações) Sheyla ficou 3.ª apesar de que não recolhesse dita medalha de bronze. Pouco depois começou a preparar a pista onde conseguiu a medalha de prata no Campeonato da Espanha Perseguição. Todo isso fez que conseguisse debutar em seu primeiro Mundial na prova em estrada, em 2014, com sozinho 20 anos ainda que mal disputou uma volta já que teve que abandonar devido a um ataque de asma.

No final do 2014 e princípios do 2015, devido a sua boa actuação nos Campeonatos da Espanha de Pista, foi às concentrações da Seleção Espanhola de dita modalidade conseguindo finalmente praça para os o Campeonato Mundial do 2015 na especialidade de Scrath.

Progressão internacional

Primeira vitória internacional
Ao igual que no 2013 de novo acumulou bons postos em corridas internacionais, todas elas em provas de um dia. Assim em março foi 6.ª na Omloop van het Hageland (Tielt-Winge) e 7.ª na Grande Prêmio Cholet-Pays de Loire (em março) e 6.ª na Classique Morbihan e vencedora do Grande Prêmio de Plumelec-Morbihan (em maio). Essa vitória foi um facto destacado a nível nacional já que foi a primeira vitória internacional de categoria UCI que conseguia uma ciclista espanhola depois da obtida por Eneritz Iturriaga numa etapa do Trophée d'Or Féminin 2008 e a primeira em toda a história que ganha uma corrida internacional profissional de um dia.

Todo isso fez que fora seleccionada para os Jogos Europeus ainda que com discretos resultados. Dias depois pôde-se desquitar conseguindo a 2.º praça no Campeonato da Espanha Contrarrelógio uma especialidade na que não tinha destacado até data e na que até ela mesma se surpreendeu de seu resultado. Pouco depois, com a Seleção da Espanha, conseguiu o 10.º posto na Tour de Feminin-Ou cenu Ceskeho Svycarska outro posto destacado para ela já que até data não tinha obtido nenhum top-tem em corridas por etapas, o mais perto o 15.º da Volta à Costa Rica de sua debut.

Progressão na pista
Ao dia seguinte de acabar a corrida por etapas checa, e sem preparação prévia específica, viajou a Atenas para disputar o Campeonato Europeu de Pista sub-23 onde conseguiu o 5.º posto na Perseguição por Equipas, 6.º na Perseguição Individual e 4.º no Scratch.

Ao UCI WorldTour Feminino

Sua progressão não passou desapercibida para as melhores equipas do mundo e face ao novo circuito mundial criado em 2016, o UCI WorldTour Feminino, foi fichada pela nova equipa estado-unidense do Cylance-Inspire (definitivamente chamado Cylance Pro Cycling) onde vai coincidir com o diretor desportivo espanhol Manel Lacambra e corredoras prestigiosas como Shelley Olds entre outras. Esse contrato não passou desapercibido para os meios desportivos espanhóis e inclusive generalistas quando até data mal dedicavam artigos completos e detalhados de ciclismo feminino e para isso tinha que ir a meios especializados em ciclismo ou meios regionais.

2017
Em 2017 Sheyla ganhou a clássica belga Le Samyn des Dames por adiante da holandesa Amy Pieters e a australiana Tiffany Cromwell e ademais foi top-10 em grande parte das clássicas de princípio de temporada.

2019
Em 2019 Sheyla foi investida pela Cofradía do Vinho de Rioja com uma distinção outorgada a diferentes profissionais por seus méritos e trajetória.

2020
Em 2020 devido a pandemia mundial de coronavirus, Sheyla realizou uma cuarentena na que se esteve a treinar para os Jogos Olímpicos de Tokio e formando para o estudo do grau de psicologia.

Red-shirted gang beats Pueblo man in Bessemer
An anonymous informant told police that a Colorado Springs gang was responsible for badly beating a 54-year-old Pueblo man Thursday in a Bessemer alley.
The victim flagged down police in the 1900 block of Pine Street just before 6 p.m. He told them he had just been attacked as he walked through the alley of that block, according to a report by Pueblo police Cpl. Charles Burnham.
The victim told police four strangers wearing red shirts hollered, �What's up?� and began beating him. He was treated at St. Mary-Corwin Medical Center for multiple wounds and abrasions to his scalp and head.
A witness, who refused to tell his name to police, said a gang from Colorado Springs known to cruise Pueblo in a red Ford Crown Victoria had attacked the man.
Consuelo Lee Aguirre, 18, no address listed, was arrested Friday on suspicion of criminal mischief and domestic violence. She is free on $10,000 bail.
Misty Dawn Baker, 24, of Midway, was arrested Thursday on a warrant for auto theft. She is in jail without bail pending advisement in court.
Keith Douglas Poor, 42, of the 1800 block of MacKenzie Road, was arrested Thursday on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, following too closely and possession of a controlled substance. He is in jail without bail pending advisement in court.
Tyrone Miguel Robinson, 32, of the 900 block of Fortino Boulevard, was arrested Friday on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, driving with a revoked license and second-degree burglary. He is in jail in lieu of $30,000 bail.

Over 2,200 Sikh pilgrims from India arrived here on Friday to celebrate Baisakhi festival at Gurdwara Panja Sahib in Hasan Abdal city of Pakistan's Punjab province. The pilgrims, who arrived at Wagah railway station by two special trains, were received by Secretary of the Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB) Tariq Khan and Pakistan Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee president Sardar Tara Singh.
Baisakhi is celebrated to mark the beginning of a new harvest season. Under the framework of the Pakistan-India Protocol on Visits to Religious Shrines of 1974. Every year, a large number of Sikh pilgrims from India visit Pakistan to observe various religious festivals and occasions. He said special security arrangements have been made for them and elite force and rangers are deployed along with them for their security.
Talking to reporters, leader of the Indian delegation Sardar Varmindar Singh Khalsa expressed the hope that the government will issue visas to a large number of Indian Sikh pilgrims on the occasion of 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev. "We are anxiously awaiting that occasion and hope the government will issue maximum number of visas to the pilgrims," he said, stressing that people-to-people contact between the two countries would help in improving ties between the neighbours.

The ability to race fast boils down to only a handful of factors. They are of course interrelated but here is your one shot guide to the performance measures as far as I understand them.
Fast-twitch muscle fiber percentage in the running muscles. From my limited understanding everyone has somewhere between 10% and 40% of their running muscles as fast-twitch muscle fibers. Where you stand on this scale basically indicates where you have the potential to race. I probably have 15-20% fast-twitch, I'm slow but not as slow as some. Usain Bolt probably has the maximum amount of fast-twitch fibers. Interestingly enough David Rushida probably also have the same amount of fast-twitch muscle fibers as Usain Bolt, but he was raised in a different culture thus an 800 running instead of 100 and 200. I'll discuss cultural difference later. Ideal training: hope that your parents are both doctors with personalities who set world records on the side.
Biomechanics or anatomy of your bones and joints. Basically some, perhaps most, people do not have body structures to handle the rigors of training. In this respect, I'm nearly perfect. By perfect I mean there are probably only a handful, perhaps a few thousand or tens of thousands, of people that have the angles that I do or better than I do and can handle the stress that I throw at my body. Although, I feel this aspect is largely influenced by your single digit years when your bones and muscles are still growing. I'll get to that later as well. Ideal training: same as above plus do everything active when you are young.
First is the percent of muscle fibers used. In an all out sprint away from a lion you will be using probably 100% of your muscle fibers because your body really wants to get away from the lion. When you go for a casual run over relatively flat ground you will be using roughly 30% of your muscle fibers. The more fibers that you use the less force each fiber will use to propel you at a given speed and the longer you will be able to maintain that pace. Ideal training: 8s-12s hill sprints, starts, lifting weights, 100m and 200m hard, and runs over 60 minutes in length (yes I mean long runs).
Next is anaerobic capacity, the amount of lactate you can handle in your body before you start jogging again. For the top guys this is 20-25mmol of lactate at the end of an 800m. This is well understood and trains in only a couple of months. There are many literature sources that describe training for this. Ideal training: 10x400m at mile or 1500m race pace with two minutes rest, basically any interval session with repetitions one minute to three minutes at a pace around 1500m to 3000m race pace.
Third is maximum oxygen uptake or VO2Max that is basically the maximum amount of oxygen that you can breathe in and out, typically 100% ranges between 5k pace for the top athletes and 3k for slower athletes, and it might even be the mile for untrained individuals. Again there is a plethora of training info out there about maximum oxygen uptake. Ideal workouts: interval sessions of two to five minutes repeats at 3k to 5k race pace.
Fourth is lactate threshold which ranges from 2mmol to 7mmol, typically averaged to 4mmol but it is the pace you can manage to run for 1 hour. It is kind of like the maximum aerobic pace. This is a steady state. If you run 1mmol faster than your lactate threshold in a one hour race you will hit the wall and your legs will get really healthy and you will have to slow down significantly. Ideal training: 20 minute tempos at lactate threshold pace.
Fifth is what I refer to as aerobic capacity. It is typically given as 2mmol and other times as marathon pace, but I feel it is realistically the pace you can handle for 3-3.5 hours. This is the magic bullet of distance running. Unlike all of the previous paces, which accumulate lactate and more or less have a time limit that you can handle that particular stress, aerobic capacity has no ceiling. When the top guys are trotting 4:40s pace in marathons it is because they have the ability to run 5:00 minute miles aerobically or using very little lactate. Ideal training: lactate threshold +3% to +25% for highly trained athletes and +3% to +35% for lesser trained athletes. That means for a person with a 6:00 minute per mile lactate threshold (moderately lesser trained) paces of 6:11 (+3%) to 7:48 (+30%) per mile will produce the most advantages, given that the training is over level ground with good traction, running up and down muddy hills will slow your pace considerably but keeps a high effort even at much slower paces.
Aerobic efficiency is the ability of your muscles to use most of the oxygen being transported to them. Famous efficient runners are Alberto Salazar and Derek Clayton who had low VO2Max values and high efficiency. Ideal training: 8s-12s hill sprints and 200m sprints (increase your heart stroke volume so you pump more blood to your muscles) and more aerobic capacity pace running. Typically the guys that run the most have the highest efficiencies. Also, small calves (less mass on the pendulum) one of those factors you don't really control.
Metabolic efficiency is the ability to burn fats instead of carbohydrates, a critical factor in marathon success. If properly trained you will not hit the wall or slow dramatically in the later stages of a marathon. Ideal pace is lactate threshold pace +5% to +15%. Ideal training: 45 minutes to 90 minutes at lactate threshold pace +5% to +15%, either at a constant pace or progressing from +15% speed to +5% speed. Also, runs over two hours at slower paces help, but runs over two hours increase the risk of injury for most people.
What the kid or athlete does the first 10-15 years of his or her life. The more active a kid is at a young age the better the ability to recover throughout at least one's 20s. In other words, Ryan Hall grew up in Big Bear, a very active mountain town in California. He played every sport before finding running at age 15. My parents never bought me a game system, but they bought me a plethora of sporting equipment and now I'm as healthy as they come. I think that more and more kids these days have sedentary upbringings, thus we get injuries on our college team.
The volume of the work that the athlete has done in the recent past. The more that one does, the more one can do. If you start running and run five miles a day every day it will be hard for weeks or even months, but there will come a point after several months when five miles every day becomes easy. It will take at least several months, but eventually it will be easy. In other words, when I am averaging 15+ miles a day I can do my hardest workouts and come back a few days later and do another hard one. A great quote I read a few weeks ago: "But if you're not tracking time or distance you can do almost anything." It is in reference to Lindgren running 40 miles a day as a teenager.
if you grow up running and walking barefoot you have the best chance of having above average flexibility. Many of the east African professional runners have leg flexibility far greater than most Americans. I feel it is due to going shoeless for most of their first 10-15 years. My flexibility is terrible.
The mentality to pursue, whatever you are pursuing. The will to fail and fail again and again. Some people just don't have it (cough, cough, instant gratification Americans).
Getting back to cultural difference between Jamaica, Kenya, and the United States. David Rudisha has a 400m PR of 45.50s, Usain Bolt has a 400m PR of 45.28s, and here is a guy Robert Griffin, that I have never heard of but he plays football instead of running track even though he was a track athlete who ran 49s in the 400m hurdles and 46.9s in the open 400m in high school. In Jamaica Bolt chose running so that he could be the best in the world versus just another good soccer player. In Kenya Rudisha chose running, because it is the only sport in Kenya. In the US Griffin chose football because it is the only sport in the US, I mean it is a sport with lots of money, I mean it is the sport with the most fans. He did run at Baylor under Clyde Hart for a semester and ran in the semifinals at the Olympic Trials in 2008, as basically a high school senior.

The hare in the forest is always boasting, and on this day he says he can run the fastest of all the animals in the forest, and challenges the other animals to a race. None of the others will race him, except the tortoise. The gentle and sensible tortoise sets off in the race, and the hare rushes off, laughing at the tortoise. Most people know how this story ends, and Judy Hamilton tells the story charmingly in this edition. This classic fable is originally by Aesop who lived in Ancient Greece in 620 BC. The story has changed through time, and has many re-tellings, but today we interpret the story as one of using ingenuity and skill to overcome boastful, or difficult people and bullies.


The last month or so has been a wild ride. Lots of shooting and lots of assisting. Of course, this can cause a not-so-timely posting of images and projects. So over the next week or so there will be several posts being made while I attempt to catch up to now.
Just over a week ago, the 5th issue of Regale Magazine was released. I was asked to create some photography for a few of the stories that would be in this issue. The majority of the content of this issue was related to technology and two of the images that I created were playing within that theme. The first story was that of the effect that technology has on relationships. Being someone who is immersed in technology nearly every second (for better or worse) and with the understanding that technology and relationships are both very complex intangibles, I chose to create something literal with a bit of historical relevance.
Playing off the sort of cliché idea of someone reading a book in bed with the bedside table keeping the other awake, I wanted to update just a bit to make the connection between this classic idea and the current technological state.
The second piece that I was asked to create was about Instagram and why it should be used. Admittedly I am not exactly the best at Instagram and because of that, the conceptualizing process was not easy for me. What ended up being the focus of the image was something I was almost completely unaware of as being a thing. Instagramming your creation at Froyo.
Working quickly was essential for this shot and I am still not satisfied with the result. Using speed lights to light the surface was tricky as the screens of the phones were all rather dark in comparison. Using a slow-sync was just barely allowing me enough time to expose for the phone screens before motion blur and shake became a real issue. Though the issue is already running, I haven't abandoned the idea that a successful image is hiding in here somewhere.
The third assignment for this issue was another departure for me. Not in photographic terms, I am very familiar making this type of work. Rather, the content was something that took me a minute to wrap my brain around. I was asked to create a few pieces to accompany a story on what are called alternative engagement rings. Not being familiar with regular engagement rings, this took some research.
Eventually, I discovered Adam Foster. Foster is a jewelry maker and artist in Saint Louis focusing on the custom and non traditional. I was able to visit his storefront and workshop for an inside view on alternative jewelry.
It is always great to be able to take a look into what another artist is doing and what their space is like. I am someone who romanticizes process and really love seeing the process that artists go through to create their work. I will be making another post with a few more images of Adam, his work and his space soon and I plan to go back in the future to make an extended body of work.
As always I enjoy a good challenge when trying to cover something or make art to contribute a visual element to a story. I will be looking forward to the next challenge and the next time I am taken out of my comfort zone for the sake of photography.

Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignancies and leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Tremendous reports have demonstrated that a wide variety of receptor tyrosine kinases play a causal role in gastric cancers. Receptor tyrosine kinase MET, aka. hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR), has been frequently found dysregulated in gastric carcinomas. MET is a single-pass receptor tyrosine kinase localizing on plasma membrane and specific for hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF)1. Activation of MET/HGF regulates many cellular processes, such as proliferation, survival, motility, angiogenesis and morphogenesis. In gastric cancer, aberrant MET/HGF signaling pathway has been found dysregulate cell proliferation, contributing to angiogenesis, oncogenesis, tumor cell invasion and metastasis, and also protection from apoptosis in cancer cells. Therapeutic strategies targeting MET/HGF thus hold promise for gastric cancer. Handful of studies on MET signaling in gastric cancer have looked into the underlying mechanisms of dysregulated MET signaling in gastric oncogenesis. Recently it was reported that several RTKs including MET can translocalize into mitochondria of cancer cells. An important role of mtMET (the mitochondrial-localized MET receptor is referred to as mtMET) in cancers is suggested. In this study, we aim to understand the function and substrate of mtMET of SNU5 gastric cancer cell line. Based on preliminary data from qualitative profiling of mitochondrial proteome, we identified different components of endocytosis pathway. Functional assays using different endocytic inhibitors coupled with immunofluorescence staining approach were applied to study the translocalization of MET into mitochondria. Abundance and phosphorylation of MET in mitochondria were severely disrupted when endocytosis was inhibited. We proposed that MET is activated and endocytosed, followed by translocation of a portion of MET into mitochondria of cancer cells. Moreover, our findings have suggested the participation of other mechanisms in the mitochondrial translocalization of MET. Co-immunoprecipitation and TMT-based high-throughput quantitative proteomic approach were also adopted to identify the potential substrates of mtMET in mitochondria. Among the proteins which were identified at high confidence level, a major fraction is involved in catalytic activity and metabolic process in mitochondria. Proximity ligation assays have revealed that mtMET has direct protein-protein interaction with two novel substrates, HMGA1 and PKM2. Taken together, this report suggested a novel functional role of mtMET in regulation of energy metabolism in mitochondria. The present study has disclosed a novel paradigm of mtMET signaling in gastric cancer cells and thus contributed to the ongoing efforts to therapeutically target aberrant RTK activities in human cancers.

California's dropout crisis affects every community in the state. When students drop out of school, they drop into the community where they live. Compared to high school graduates, research documents that dropouts have: higher rates of unemployment; lower earnings; poorer health and higher rates of mortality; higher rates of criminal behavior and incarceration; and increased dependence on public assistance. These generate substantial economic losses to the nation, to the state, and to local communities.
These profiles document the magnitude of the dropout problem in local communities throughout California and the economic losses that they generate. They also estimate the economic benefits to reducing dropouts and the reductions in violent crimes that will likely result.

The process of teeth extraction dates back as far as the practice of dentistry. At one time, it was the only solution available for severe, chronic tooth pain. Fortunately, dentists today can make the extraction procedure less painful and replace the missing tooth with a realistic dental prosthetic afterward.
A dentist may occasionally diagnose a patient's tooth decay or damage as too severe to adequately treat with a filling, crown, onlay or inlay. When this occurs, the patient may opt to take the tooth out completely instead of undergoing repeated attempts at restoration procedures that have little chance of success.
Dentists typically perform extractions of wisdom teeth to reduce oral discomfort or prevent damage to surrounding teeth. An impacted tooth is positioned in such a way that it cannot fully emerge. This can lead to pain and gum irritation. An impacted wisdom tooth located at an abnormal angle in the jaw may put pressure on the adjacent tooth leading to crowding. Extraction may reduce the risk of cavities in the adjacent molar by making proper brushing and flossing easier in that area of the patient's mouth.
Extensive bone loss from periodontal disease can cause teeth to loosen and eventually fall out on their own. A patient may choose extraction to avoid the ongoing discomfort of dealing with a loose tooth. Rarely, a dentist may recommend pulling a tooth for patients with excessively crowded teeth. The patient might choose to have this done in preparation for a fitting with orthodontics to correct severe misalignment problems.
A general dentist or oral surgeon does a complete patient workup including x-rays and a full medical and dental history. The dentist will use this information to identify the position of the teeth, sinuses, nerves and any underlying problems such as bone disease.
The dentist will provide local numbing, conscious sedation or full anesthesia depending on the complexity of the extraction process and the patient's tolerance for pain or anesthetic medications. A friend or family member must accompany patients who receive sedation or anesthesia to drive them home after the procedure. The patient may receive antibiotics before or after the extraction to limit the chances of infection.
A general dentist may perform a simple extraction on a tooth protruding vertically above the gum line. The patient receives an injection of a local anesthetic to numb the treatment area. The dentist will grasp the tooth firmly with forceps and rock it back and forth to loosen it before pulling it completely free. The patient may take over-the-counter pain medications to manage any post-procedure discomfort.
A dentist who specializes in oral surgery performs more complex extractions that entail cutting into the gums and underlying bone. The oral surgeon may have to drill into the patient's jaw and break up an impacted tooth to remove it in pieces. The patient receives a local anesthetic injection supplemented with conscious sedation if needed. The dentist may prescribe pain medication for the patient to take for several days after the extraction. The patient must follow post-operative instructions to reduce bleeding, promote the formation of a blood clot in the extraction site and reduce the risk of complications.
Dry socket occurs frequently in patients who have an impacted tooth extracted. This painful side effect happens when a blood clot fails to form or breaks free allowing air to come into contact with the underlying jaw bone. A dentist will place a medicated dressing on the wound site to help resolve dry socket. Less common complications include adverse reactions to anesthetics, infection, injuries to surrounding teeth, nerve damage, jaw fracture, long term soreness or a hole into the sinus cavity.
Dentists and patients often prefer using dental implants for restoration after a tooth extraction. Implants most closely emulate the function and look of real teeth and do not require grinding down adjacent teeth to support a traditional bridge. Dentists may fit patients who require extraction of multiple teeth with an implant-supported bridge or partial denture. A dental surgeon may need to perform bone grafting to support an implant if the patient has suffered bone loss in the treatment area due to advanced periodontal disease.
A dentist will recommend replacing a pulled tooth whenever feasible. Dental insurance typically covers simple extractions and some complex extractions; but the coverage may not extend to all restoration options. However, replacing a tooth rather than leaving a gap helps keep the surrounding teeth from shifting out of place and promotes better oral health over the patient's lifetime.

Donald Trump	You know, my faith is one that admits some doubt
Lufthansa CEO: It's "Irresponsible" To Sell $11 Flights – One Mile at a Time
By admin on July 14, 2019 No Comment
Lufthansa's CEO, Carsten Spohr, has made some controversial comments today about the cheap fares charged by some of the carrier's major European ultra low cost rivals.
Lufthansa's issues with cheap fares
Spohr has said that airlines selling flights for less than 10EUR (~11USD) is "economically, ecologically, and politically irresponsible." He said that "flights for less than 10EUR shouldn't exist."
Not surprisingly, Spohr has motivation for what he's saying — Ryanair and EasyJet have been growing significantly in Germany, and have been selling very cheap tickets from there. Spohr says that "nobody is going to push us out of our home markets" and that "the price war leaves its traces with us as well."
He also states that Ryanair and EasyJet are "losing a massive amount of money" as they try to grow market share in Germany. The impact of this has been felt so much that it has caused Lufthansa to lower their profit forecast.
Rather conveniently all of this comes as Lufthansa's low cost Eurowings division is restructuring, and I'm guessing that's not unrelated to EasyJet and Ryanair.
My take on Spohr's comments
Spohr's comments are both outrageous and self-serving, in my opinion, and are one of the sillier ways I've seen Lufthansa attack their ultra low cost carrier competitors (and they've tried a lot of methods).
Is selling cheap fares economically, ecologically, and politically irresponsible?
Economically irresponsible?
Maybe we've been looking at different annual reports, but both EasyJet and Ryanair are exceptionally profitable. They just have a different way of selling tickets than Lufthansa, and that should be totally fine.
Most people aren't actually paying 10EUR to fly — they may pay for seat assignments, bags, beer, lottery cards, etc. And the business model works for them.
If his suggestion is that the airlines aren't making money as they grow market share in Germany, isn't that the case for many airlines? Typically routes aren't profitable from day one for airlines — it takes time to grow market share, and that's something Lufthansa should be well aware of here.
Ecologically irresponsible?
To me this is the most interesting point. There's no denying that travel has become a lot more accessible globally thanks to ultra low cost carriers, and nowadays there's a lot of debate over whether that's a good thing or not.
With governments increasingly trying to decrease airline emissions, and with KLM even encouraging people not to fly, times are different than in the past.
But Lufthansa seems to be taking the position here that the correct way to lower emissions is to eliminate cheap ways to fly? That's convenient. Where's their campaign encouraging their full fare business class passengers from having an e-meeting, rather than flying out to meet face-to-face?
Ironically Ryanair has a significantly more fuel efficient short haul fleet than Lufthansa does (they exclusively operate 737s that are an average of under eight years old, while Lufthansa operates all kinds of planes, many of which have a higher per seat cost), so Ryanair's per passenger emissions are lower.
Politically irresponsible?
I'm not 100% sure what Spohr is referring to. My guess is that he's referring to how EasyJet and Ryanair have some creative ways they've set up their business to lower costs. If that's the case, there are plenty of airlines where that's the case, and it's telling that he's only singling them out after they expand in Germany.
In my opinion Spohr is off base with his comments. For so long, Lufthansa has taken Germany for granted, and now EasyJet and Ryanair are finally giving them some competition on short haul flights.
There's nothing economically irresponsible about this, because the airlines selling cheap flights are profitable.
As far as ecological responsibility, there's no doubt we're seeing a trend towards trying to lower emissions, but I don't think cheap tickets is the problem. A person paying 10EUR to fly Ryanair has just as much of a right to fly as someone paying 60EUR to fly Lufthansa, in my opinion.
What do you make of Spohr's comments? Is it irresponsible for airlines to sell super cheap tickets?

Two in one—We show here that the highly strained trans,trans-diolefin (E,E)-1,5-cyclooctadiene can perform efficiently two different click reactions at fast reaction rates. It is capable of first undergoing [3+2] cycloadditions with 1,3-dipoles at a reaction rate comparable to that of strained cyclooctynes. The resulting cycloadduct can then perform a much faster inverse-electron-demand Diels–Alder reaction with tetrazines, effectively linking an azide to a tetrazine. Thus, (E,E)-1,5-cyclooctadiene could have many applications in chemical biology and polymer chemistry.

But it didn't make a difference. I also tried to add bouncycastle in my pom file and I instead got:

This could be fixed by applying the solution described here but then I get back to the initial error.
Any idea of what I could do? I works on my local machine, it's only when I deploy that the issue appears.
This app is using Apache http so an alternative would be to inject support for these ciphers directly at that level. Can it be done?

A: This actually has nothing to do with Alpine or OpenJDK 14. I found the solution at http://www.gubatron.com/blog/2019/04/25/solving-received-fatal-alert-handshake_failure-error-when-performing-https-connections-on-a-custom-made-jre-with-jlink/ , just add jdk.crypto.cryptoki to the list of modules to add with jlink

There's more than one kind of "OUTSIDERS" in new sci-fi thriller; see the trailer
Wednesday, February 16, 2022 | News
A world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, it's seeing release next month.
Vertical Entertainment brings OUTSIDERS to theaters and VOD March 11. Directed by Delmar Washington from a script by Tucker Morgan, it stars Skylan Brooks, Rutina Wesley (TRUE BLOOD), Taryn Manning (KAREN), Shane West, Clark Backo and Bill Engvall. The synopsis: "When high school student Jaylen Brown [Brooks] finds himself under suspicion after his classmate disappears during a party, prejudice quickly begins to boil to the surface of his small southern town as all fingers point toward him. Working against the clock to clear his own name, he begins to unravel a massive web of secrets that all point to otherworldly forces at play."
"I hope OUSIDERS will inspire audiences to expand the dialogue over racial tensions in America and how together, we can unite over a common ground," says Washington, who makes his feature debut with this movie. "As the director, I'm beyond grateful to be partnering with Vertical to bring this film to the masses."
"More than just a sci-fi thriller, OUTSIDERS shows how the bonds of family and friendship are tested when the inconceivable happens and there's nowhere left to run," says Vertical's Rich Goldberg. "The emotionally charged performances by the entire cast are what originally drew us to the story and are sure to keep viewers breathless with anticipation."
