Read on for their stories!
"Finned" Lions Girls Swim Team Makes History
By Amelia Wolfgramm, Head Swim Coach
Rowland Hall's swim team made their mark on history this season with the girls team taking the Region 13 title and then topping it off as 3A state champions, the first region and first state championship in Rowland Hall girls swimming history! An amazing feat and well deserved for a tight-knit group of hard working student-athletes.
The team welcomed a new coaching staff this year as well, with Amelia Wolfgramm as Head Coach and assistants Hope Feliciano and Cole Jackman taking over the program. The season started off with a whopping 25 swimmers—the largest number ever—who were on varying levels of skill. However, by the end of the season, one might have a hard time discerning the rookies from the experienced athletes as the progress of the team as a whole was incredible to witness. Led by captains Bella Goh, Sophie Hannah, Skylar Diamandis, and Hayden Stotts, the Winged Lions were able to swim their way to a successful season.
At the Region 13 meet held at South Summit High School in late January, our boys team placed third and the girls team took first. On the boys side, the 200 medley relay team placed third and the 400 free relay took second place; Skylar Diamandis took fourth in the 200 free and third in the 100 fly; Lucas Erickson took first in both the 500 free and 200 IM; and Alex Fort placed third in the 50 free and fourth in the 100 free. Noteworthy performances from the girls team included Alison Puri who placed first in the 100 free and third in the 200 free; Grace Smith took second in the 200 IM and 100 fly; Ella Vitek took first in the 50 free and 100 back; Katie Moore place second in the 100 back; and the 400 free relay team took first place.
Qualifiers from the girls and boys team then traveled to compete at the state 3A meet held at the Wasatch Aquatic Center in Heber City on February 8, a meet that was a combination of 1A, 2A, and 3A schools competing for the 3A state titles in boys and girls competition.
Seven of our boys team members qualified for state—Skylar Diamandis (12), Lucas Erickson (10), Alex Fort (12), Matthew Goh (9), Connor Johansson (11), Alex Kahler (10), and Hayden Stotts (12). All swam personal best times at the competition, with two of our swimmers taking home medals for their efforts: co-captain Skylar Diamandis placed fifth in the 200 free and sophomore Lucas Erickson took second in the 500 free and third in the 200 IM. The boys 400 free relay consisting of Skylar, Lucas, Alex Fort, and Matthew Goh finished fourth. Our boys team placed tenth of twenty teams.
Nine members of our girls team competed at state: Ella Bagley (10), Mia Chamberlain (11), Bella Goh (12), Sophie Hannah (12), Katie Moore (9), Charlotte Orford (10), Alison Puri (11), Grace Smith (9) and Ella Vitek (10). Every one of them swam personal bests in their events as well, with multiple athletes winning medals: Goh third in the 100 free; Hannah sixth in both the 200 and 100 free; Moore fifth in the 100 back, Puri fourth in the 200 free; Smith second in both 200 IM and 100 fly; and Vitek second in the 100 back and state champion in the 50 free. To top it off, our 200 free relay team (Grace Smith, Alison Puri, Sophie Hannah, Ella Vitek) and our 400 free relay team (Bella Goh, Grace Smith, Sophie Hannah, and Ella Vitek) swam to first place finishes in both events! Our nine swimmers amassed 279 points to win the state 3A title over much larger teams and thus gained a place in Winged Lion athletics history.
Our combined girls and boys team scores placed Rowland Hall in second place overall of the twenty-two teams who competed: an amazing season for a great group of athletes.
At our end of season awards night, we were pleased to recognize several swimmers with special awards. From the girls team, Ella Vitek was named Most Valuable Swimmer; Maddy Eatchel, Most Improved; and Bella Goh, Coaches' Award. On the boys team, Lucas Erickson was named Most Valuable Swimmer; Jonah Thomas, Most Improved; and Skylar Diamandis, Coaches' Award.
A shout out to the entire team on a wonderful season full of good times and great performances—thanks and a huge congrats to all of the aforementioned student-athletes, as well as teammates Sadie AbuHaidar, Cate Christiansen, Sasha Diamandis, Maddy Eatchel, Grace Macintyre, Sarah Wahlen, Luke Nicoloff, Jonah Thomas, and Ziteng Zeng. The coaching staff is looking forward to next season already!
Boys Basketball Earns Region 17 Championship
By Ronnie Ross, Head Coach
The 2017-2018 boys basketball season ended with Rowland Hall playing for fifth place in the 2A state tournament, capping off a historic season with the team posting an undefeated 10-0 league season to win the Region 17 championship trophy, the first since 2000.
This strong season started long before region play began, as the team had a solid off-season consisting of team camps, individual workouts, weightlifting and pre-season tournament play. At the University of Utah team camp, they went 4-2, which marked the first wins at this team camp in two years. Heading into the Big Mountain Jam in July, they were playing even better and competed well against higher classification schools. The boys started to trust one another, led by senior captain and shooting guard Jack Dischmann and junior point guard Trey Provost.
After deciding their goal for the season was to make it out of the first round of the state playoffs, the players carried their summer experience into their pre-season practices and continued to work hard. With that goal in mind, the coaching staff scheduled a tough pre-season to prepare for the competitive play that would await in the post-season. And so, to kick off the season and with two starters out of town, Rowland Hall took Judge down to the wire behind the tough and consistent play of sophomore Boston Ballard. Next up was Roy High, a tough 5A school, and a game that saw our team lead most of the way, powered by the rebounding and interior play of sophomore Isaiah Adams. Although we dropped that heartbreaker to Roy, it was clear that our players were starting to understand the process and were stepping up to the challenge.
The pre-season was wrapped up at the Holiday Tournament in Riverton, where we played Kearns, Riverton, Cyprus, and Wasatch. In each of those games, the coaching staff was proud of the way in which the team competed with 5A and 6A schools, as we worked hard to affirm our identity. Players began to gain confidence and showed their potential. We took some tough losses, but didn't stop competing, a trait that we had hoped to instill and were happy to see in action.
Heading into region play, we were very eager to begin playing 2A schools. Region play began against APA West Valley, a game during which Dischmann poured in 45 points, a career high. The team carried this momentum into the next two games, beating APA Draper and Merit Academy before meeting undefeated Rockwell at their home court. The matchup proved to be tough, with our team taking an early lead. After halftime, Rockwell went on a run and put us on our heels for the first time of the season, a situation that in previous years would have caused us to fold; however, with a tough summer and pre-season schedule behind them, we were pleased to see that the team was prepared for the test this time. Led by Provost's 15 points and eight assists, the boys battled through Rockwell's run and pulled off the big win on the road.
Following Rockwell, we faced rival Waterford, whom we had not defeated in the previous two years. Fueled by Isaiah Adams' 12 points and ten rebounds, we finally took down the Ravens. After these two wins, we were 5-0 in region play and ready to face the second half of the season. The boys were determined to keep the winning streak alive and felt they could win our region. With this confidence, we ended the season 10-0 to capture the Region 17 trophy, the first undefeated season in school history and the first region championship in 18 years.
We entered state as a No. 1 seed and met a tough North Sevier No. 6 seed from Region 18. In the always tough first round of "win or go home" play, senior forward Youssef Salama had a career game, refusing to allow us to be sent home. Inspired by Youssef, the team rallied to ensure they met their goal of making it out of the first round, aided by a game high 17 points scored by Isaiah Adams. This win was the highlight of the year and sent us to Richfield as part of the "elite eight."
In Richfield, we lost in the quarterfinals to Duchesne, who would go on to take second place in the state, but we bounced back the next day to beat North Summit handily. On Saturday, we dropped the fifth place game to a tough Enterprise squad and ended the season with a sixth-place finish at State, the best in over a decade. Coach Ro, Coach Zach, and I were very proud of the team's performance—they played with heart and determination throughout.
The coaching staff would like to extend congratulations to the following players who ended the season in the top 20 across all classifications in some statistical categories: Isaiah Adams, first in rebounds and third in blocked shots; Trey Provost, fourth in steals and 14th in assists; and Boston Ballard, fifth in assists and 13th in steals. Jack Dischmann ended the year fifth in points per game scored in 2A.
The team concluded the year with an awards celebration hosted by Tiffanie Provost. The following players were recognized with end of season awards:
Team MVP: Jack Dischmann
Co-Defensive Players: Youssef Salama and Isaiah Adams
X-Factor Award: Trey Provost
Most Improved: Maya Royer
Coaches' Award: Boston Ballard
Thank you to each of the players in the program—Isaiah Adams, George Adondakis, Boston Ballard, Tristam Gaylord, Giorgio Gianoulis, Augustus Hickman, Issac Holbrook, Ben Houden, Galib Ibrahima, Alex Klebingat, Nektarios Mantas, Andy Merrill, Oscar Percy, Trey Provost, Maya Royer, Zander Smith, Alex Tokita, and Milo Yeates, and especially to our three seniors, Jack Dischmann, Adin Mustajbegovic, and Youssef Salama—for making this a very exciting and memorable year.
Girls Basketball Has Strong Season
By Bill Tatomer, Head Coach
The Rowland Hall girls' basketball team concluded their 2017-2018 season attending the 2A state tournament in St. George. This game capped a fantastic year for the Lady Lions with many reasons to be proud.
Success for the Lady Lions started this year during the summer with 15 girls participating in the team's weeklong camp. This experience culminated with the hoopsters playing in 18 games at the University of Utah, which allowed the girls to come together as a team. Momentum continued when the official basketball season started in November with their first practice, and the girls never looked back.
Led by senior team captains Gillian Larsen and Meg Janes, the squad battled in 40 junior varsity and varsity contests this year. The junior varsity team finished the year with an impressive 16-2 record and the varsity team finished at 16-6, taking second place in Region 17. Both lineups played inspired basketball over the four-month schedule. Highlights this year included two region victories over archrival Waterford and several close wins over challenging opponents like Kemmerer, Wyoming (a one-point win in the final second), and Hayden, Colorado. Playing with confidence and an emphasis on team, this year's squad solidified as a hoops family on and off the court and had a ton of fun competing together. There were a lot of great memories made.
This year, the team was fortunate to have three senior players on the squad. Returning last year's MVP Allison Bagley, Coaches Award winner Gillian Larsen, and senior standout Meg Janes, strong leadership and direction were not lacking. These three seniors set the example of grit, spirit, composure, and hustle for the rest of the team to emulate. Undoubtedly the success of this year's team was a direct result of these three athletes and their outstanding leadership and basketball ability. A host of junior girls also made their mark this year. Juniors Ally Hansen, Claire "Sandy" Sanderson, Kat Lanham, Sam Carlisle, Tess Edgley, and Leah Button were all instrumental in the program's success, modeling incredible focus and determination in all practice and game situations. Additionally, sophomore standout and last year's Offensive Player of the Year Sophie Stinnett, paired with freshman sensation Imani Mendenhall, brought unbelievable athleticism, maturity, and toughness to the squad. The future looks bright for the program with the return of these talented student athletes and with junior varsity standouts Chloe Coleman-Houghton, Olivia Bikhazi, Anna Jiricko, and Lillian Brown ready to take on the challenge of a varsity role next season.
The team concluded the year with a banquet hosted by Tina and Bryan Bagley. This celebration was a wonderful way to honor and remember all of the incredible memories made on the court and off. The awards ceremony recognized the following players as voted by their fellow players and coaches: Team MVP – Sophie Stinnett; Team Offensive Player – Allison Bagley; Team Defensive Player – Gillian Larsen; and Coaches Award – Leah Button. Additionally, Region 17 first team All Region honors were awarded to Allison Bagley, Gillian Larsen, and Sophie Stinnett, and next year's team captains, Ally Hansen, Leah Button, and Claire Sanderson were announced. The banquet was a fantastic way to culminate an unforgettable season with food, fun, and a heartwarming tribute video by cinematic genius Tess Edgley, all while spending time with our wonderful basketball O'hana.
Thank you again seniors for all of your hard work, commitment, and passion for the sport and the program over the past four years. Your legacy will surely live on for years to come. Go Lady Lions!
Academic All-Region Honors Announced
Each sports season, the Region 17 Board of Managers recognizes those senior athletes who are varsity starters or regular performers on their varsity squad and who have a 3.75 or better non-weighted, cumulative GPA with Academic All-Region honors.
Congratulations to basketball athletes Gillian Larsen and Youssef Salama on being named to the Region 17 Academic All-Region team!
Post-Season Recognition for Winged Lion Boys and Girls Basketball Players
Three Winged Lion basketball athletes were recently recognized by the Deseret News with All-State honors as voted by 2A coaches from across the state.
Congratulations to senior Jack Dischmann, team MVP and fifth leading scorer in 2A, who was named First Team All-State; sophomore standout Isaiah Adams, number one rebounder and number three shot blocker in the state, named Honorable Mention All-State; and sophomore girls basketball sensation Sophie Stinnett, team MVP, named Honorable Mention All-State.
Four Winged Lion boys basketball players and three members of the girls basketball team were also named by vote of coaches to the Region 17 All-Region team: Jack Dischmann, Trey Provost, Isaiah Adams, Boston Ballard, Allison Bagley, Gillian Larsen, and Sophie Stinnett.
Dischmann also received the prestigious honor of selection to two 2A All-Star teams: the Monroe Lions Club 2A All-Star Team and the Utah High School Basketball Coaches Association All-Star Team. Jack competed in a 1A vs. 2A vs. 3A All-Star contest in Monroe at South Sevier High School on Saturday, March 10, followed by competing in a 2A vs. 1A Coaches' Association All-Star game on March 23 at Olympus High School.
Senior Allison Bagley was named to the 2A Girls All-Star team, the first ever pick to a girls All-Star team for a Winged Lion player. Allison played in a 2A vs. 1A contest on March 17 at Stansbury High School.
Congratulations to these student-athletes on these honors—we are proud of you!
Two Rowland Hall Coaches Receive Honors
Two Winged Lion coaches were recently recognized by their colleagues as outstanding coaches in their sport.
Head girls soccer coach Bobby Kennedy was named by the United Soccer Coaches—a national organization—as the Utah High School Girls Soccer Coach of the Year for Private and Parochial Schools.
Coach Kennedy led our team to an undefeated 2017 season, a region title, and the 2A state championship. BK does an incredible job with the girls soccer team year in and year out and has been recognized a number of times for his coaching prowess.
Amelia Wolfgramm, first year head swim team coach, was named the 3A Girls Swim Coach of the Year at the state 3A swim meet held in February. Coach Wolfgramm led the Winged Lions girls team to its first-ever region and state championship titles. An accomplished swimmer herself, Coach Wolfgramm still holds the state 3A record in the 100 back. Her passion has been an inspiration to this year's swim team.
Congratulations to Coach Kennedy and Coach Wolfgramm on honors well earned!
Thanks to Booster Club Liaisons
A heartfelt thank you to the following Winged Lion Booster Club parent volunteers who were liaisons for a winter athletic team this year: Robin Puri, swim team; Ashley Holbrook and Marianne Arrigona, boys basketball; and Sarah Button and Karen Edgley, girls basketball.
Your willingness to organize other parents for drinks and snacks and to work at the ticket/concessions table at home basketball games, as well as to spearhead arrangements for awards celebrations is much appreciated. You truly made a difference for our teams and coaches. Many thanks!

Sharknado 6 is right around the corner, and now we have some truly wild plot details about the sixth installment in the infamously cheesy Syfy franchise. The summer 2018 TV event will apparently include time travel, dinosaurs, and Noah's Ark, among other things.
Sharknado was not supposed to become a national treasure. It was a silly TV movie wherein a bunch of pretty people with lackluster acting skills struggle to survive the preposterous amalgamation of a school of sharks and a tornado, hence the name. Viewers latched on to the ridiculously campy fun of the film, making it a bona fide hit, and revitalizing the previously waning career of star Tara Reid. Since then, the movie has spawned four, soon to be five sequels, becoming a silly yearly tradition for Syfy fans.
Related: Sharknado Writer Has a Story to Cover 3 More Movies
Bloody Disgusting has now revealed the (wild) plot details for the sixth Sharknado installment. After losing his family to the deadly sharknados, Fin (played by Ian Ziering) discovers the ability to travel through time using the sharknados as a sort of portal. His mission is to bring his family back to life through the powers of time travel and/or prevent the threat of the terrifying fish funnels altogether. In a new spin on Sharknado 5's world-traveling plot, Fin's time traveling will bring him in contact with all manner of legends and historical figures. You can read the full synopsis below:
"All is lost, or is it? Fin unlocks the time-traveling power of the SHARKNADOS in order to save the world and resurrect his family. In his quest, Fin fights Nazis, dinosaurs, knights, and even takes a ride on Noah's Ark. This time, it's not how to stop the sharknados, it's when."
Poster art has been revealed in advance of the film's summer release (see the photo of the poster, featured above), and shows Ziering wearing a black leather jacket and holding a chainsaw, clearly ready for battle.
Reid will return to co-star with Ziering, along with Cassie Scerbo as Nova Clarke. Details on celebrity cameos have yet to be revealed, nor has the film's tongue-in-cheek subtitle. The franchise is infamous for shoehorning popular celebrities into sarcastic roles throughout the films. Everyone from Fabio to Bret Michaels and Margaret Cho made an appearance in Sharknado 5, so we can expect some equally big (and surprising) names to be attached to the upcoming sequel.
The Sharknado franchise has embraced its fanbase with enthusiasm. Sharknado 2: The Second One gained its subtitle through a Twitter contest garnering over 5,000 submissions from fans. The cast has been very vocal about their appreciation for the fans, giving them full credit for the franchise's success.

Everyone in the MMA is ugly.
I'm not talking hook nose or unsightly mole. I mean really truly f*ugly.
These are a hideous group of men. One of them had an overbite so severe, if he tried kissing you he'd scrape your lips off. Another looked like the unfortunate child of an illicit union between a troll and an ork who just happened to be first cousins.
And that explains everything.
First the beards. Those aren't grown out of piety or tradition, they are an attempt to hide as much of the offending growth (head) as possible. If I looked like a member of our Religious Party I think I'd be rubbing Rogain on my forehead and cheeks as well as my chin.
Secondly, the hatred for women. We all ask, "Why do they hate women so much? Why? Why? Why?" And the answer has been staring us in the face all this time, except we never noticed because we were too busy shielding our eyes. Women keep turning them down!
Don't agree? Skeptical? Okay...visualise this:
You are 14 years old. Puberty just hit you like the Bubonic Plague in Mumbai. Nipples are hardening. Underarms are sprouting. Crotch is itchy. That uncomfortable growth under your Shalwar doesn't seem to be going away no matter how many times you hit it and dammit sometimes hitting it just seems to be making it stronger. It's like the Incredible Hulk rampaging up towards your naara. And then you see her. Your first girl. They aren't easy to come by in the small town of Chak 42, but here one of them is. All long hair and bouncy jiggly parts. And all of a sudden a small flower blossoms in your chest. Running a finger over the three strands of manly mustache that adorn your upper-lip you call forth on every bit of courage that God can provide you with. You look to heroes of the past. Heroes like Timurlain and Saladin, heroes your teachers at the Madrassah taught you about while you sat on their lap focusing very hard on everything but the wrinkly liver-spotted hand that's been climbing up your thigh. There will be time to scream into the pillow later. Besides, say the older boys, it's all a part of growing up...um...what was happen...oh yes! The girl in front of you! She walks with a grace that makes the goat that was your first lover seem ungainly and awkward. You wish she had horns you could seize, a beard on her chinny chin chin that you could grip. Lacking that you promise yourself a search for placeholds on her later. First to talk. Then to...
You walk up to her. A group of friends hoot and whistle at you from the corner. It's getting harder to tell if they are mocking you or hitting on you these days. Better talk to her quick. You stand in front of her, hands clasped behind your back. Then...then you ask her:
"Would you like to become my first cousin?"
Her laughter is cruel. She catches her breath just long enough to tap her long fingernails on your upper row of horizontally protruding teeth, then bursts into another fit of giggles. Two days later you see her making out with that muscular army cadet from the military training camp down the road.
You will get back at her. One day. You will get back at her.
And then, several years later, when the wound has festered and ripened, along comes a man named Zia-ul Haq. A military man. Unlike you. But an ugly man. Just like you. And with his power and your hatred, vengeance is had.
A tad extreme I admit. But possible. Heck, looking at those Mullahs you can see they've never gotten an affirmative response to a request for a dinner and a movie. And so they hate the women that hurt them so.
So how do we fix things? Am I suggesting women start sleeping with the members of MMA. I would never condone such an action. But still,that would be an interesting NGO Charter now wouldn't it...

"Freedom Fighters: The Ray," a new animated series with the actor Russell Tovey providing the voice of the main character, is to debut Friday. The series is about a band of DC Comics heroes who live on Earth X, a parallel world in which Germany won World War II. Six episodes will be available on CW Seed, the CW network's digital content site.
Fans of the DC TV universe were introduced to this version of the Ray in live action and played by Mr. Tovey during the two-day, four-part "Crisis on Earth X" crossover last week, which included episodes of "Supergirl," "Arrow," "Flash" and "DC's Legends of Tomorrow." (The Ray was originally introduced in Smash Comics No. 14, published in 1940.)
Amid fighting Nazis — and evil versions of the title heroes — the story made time for quiet moments, two weddings and some gay, lesbian and bisexual representation. White Canary (Caity Lotz) had a dalliance with Alex Danvers (Chyler Leigh), the sister of Supergirl, but the biggest surprise was the reveal of the relationship between the Ray and Citizen Cold (Wentworth Miller), which included an onscreen kiss. Mr. Tovey answered some questions about the episode and the future of the Ray by phone on Wednesday. These are edited excerpts from the conversation.
Are you a big superhero fan?
Growing up, I always wanted to be a superhero. That's always been something I astral projected. So when this came up, it was an easy yes — especially for what the character stood for. It magnified my excitement in portraying him. Most of my acting mates — everyone wants to play a superhero. It's definitely one of the boxes you want to tick. It feels wonderful to be ticking that box in a big way and with a big, pink triangle.
The depiction of the relationship between two of the gay heroes, the Ray and Citizen Cold, stood out during the "Crisis on Earth X" story line.
It made me very happy. Wentworth is just one of the nicest guys I've worked with. He's so supremely Zen and open. We had the best time and we hung out outside of filming and he's become a friend. I said, "People are liking us; the Ray and Cold together." He was thrilled. It's kind of crazy that in 2017 that's still seen as the unseen. Someone tweeted me or Instagrammed me a message. They are gay parents. Their son was watching the show and ran in to them and said, "There are two superheroes who do what you do," when they kissed each other. He was so happy about it. So many people have been so supportive of seeing two superheroes who are gay played by two actors who are out. It seems like it became a bit of a moment. I couldn't be prouder to be one half of that moment.
This project was announced in August last year, but it is finally coming to fruition. How do you feel?
I was nervous. I love "The Flash." I watch "Legends of Tomorrow." I've seen a bit of the "Arrow" and of "Supergirl." To be part of that world, I felt the pressure of portraying a superhero — what that means to fans, what this character will mean going forward. I wanted people to connect to him and want to see more of him and embrace him as part of the DC Universe.
How was the reception?
Someone forwarded a link where there were some guys trolling me. Someone was like, "Why have they revoiced Russell Tovey? Maybe he couldn't do the American accent?" I was like: You've actually complimented me. It is my voice. They didn't need to revoice me. As an English actor, going into an American production with a huge American audience, that was something I wanted to get right.
What can we expect from the animated series?
We meet the Ray and we meet him on Earth X, where we met him in the crossover episodes. [The animated series will also introduce the Ray's parallel earth counterpart, Ray Terrill, a housing lawyer.] The Ray is dying and he transfers over to contact Terrill and give him his powers. You then see how Terrill becomes the Ray.
Will we see the Ray's relationship with Cold?
You may see a relationship blossom is all I can say. You're going to see a lot of Ray Terrill's friendships and how, in a parallel world, they are different. The scripts are so well written, beautiful and moving. When I read the scripts, I was sobbing at one point. I was really, really touched by the story. This is a guy who is gay and what he's going through and what becoming a superhero does to him.
What are you hoping the impact of this will be?
I'm just so happy that it's out in the world. On prime time TV, you've got two superheroes that are gay kissing and who are played by gay actors — hopefully one day that will be normal. I want the Ray to become someone that gay kids watching TV — who might feel a bit out there and not accepted or who don't understand themselves — can relate to.

S7 Technics paints S7 Airlines' aircraft
Related Articles
S7 Technic's painting shop in Mineralnye Vody, Southern Russia, is challenged with painting 17 of S7 Airlines Airbus A320 and Boeing 737-800 aircraft into its new brand livery. The first aircraft of the batch were redelivered to S7 Airlines from Mineralnye Vody at the end of last year.
The S7 Technics' painting experts are using a new enamel on the S7 Airlines's aircraft, which was not used in the previous livery.
"In terms of material, the main difference between the new livery and the previous one is that the new S7 Airlines' livery requires application of an enamel with MICA effect," Danil Naumenko, deputy director of S7 Technics' Mineralnye Vody facility comments. "This material is more demanding in terms of the quality of its application and the painting team's qualification. It also takes more time to dry between applying different layers. But its advantage is that this new enamel with MICA effect retains all of its features – for instance, a very beautiful play of colors – up to 7-8 years, not 5-6 years in case of finish enamel or the basecoat / clearcoat system".
In early February S7 Technic's painting shop redelivered 11 freshly painted into the new livery aircraft to S7 Airlines.

Indeed. Fabien reported the same problem a few weeks ago.
The gb.jit component does not compile anymore with new versions of gcc,
whose C++ is now less tolerant apparently. The default C++ norm has
changed, but I'm not sure if the problem is exactly there.
I hate more and more that language. :-(

"Where do babies come from?" Gift asks.
"Babies.' She pouts and throws her hands out in innocent curiosity. 'Erm, where did I come from?"
Fide winces, opens his mouth furtively and shrugs. He had not known she was sitting in front of him on her little fairy patterned dining set. It's light green and faces him squarely, her bowl of cereal upturned on it in a greasy, creamy mess. She, smiles, clasps her little fleshy hands together and sits up, waiting for Uncle to answer. He, on his part, hesitates, flexes his fingers nervously and shifts on his chair. He does not know what to say, how to explain, or begin.
She waits, patiently, for his answer.
Now, that he looks at her, he begins to think she looks like Fiyin, his sister. His late sister that died while giving birth to Gift.
Fiyin! He sighs. He had successfully avoided thinking about that name and any discussion that would bring up the name with the neighbours or, even, his mother. He wasted no time in taking down her pictures that evening when he returned from the hospital. Her locked room haunted him too and he avoided passing in front of it. Even Gift. Right from the day his mother had brought her home he had never been comfortable being around her and had always avoided crossing her toddling path or looking at her for a sec. Even now, as she sits in front of him, he fights a million and one urges to jump up from his seat and dash out of the living room.
He doesn't. He struggles to keep his cool on the seat and she waits, – patiently, silently, – with a smile like that on Fiyin's face when she…
"Oh Christ!" He exclaims in his head. He lights the last cigarette in the pack and picks a beer from the cartoon under his chair. It hits the empty bottles on the floor and echoes a grim sound. He uncorks the beer with his teeth and swigs.
There is something I should have done four years ago. Something which, as I sit and stare at you on your little dining set Grandma bought for you when you were two, now seems easy, but I must confess it really wasn't. Well, it wasn't as that then. I should have been a man and stepped up. I would have, though, if I had not lost my voice. If the subtle, earnest entreaties of my mind had not been easily drowned out by the noisy, cooing passion surging up my stomach and throbbing my John. My head whirled ecstatically and my two friends, Frank and Gboyega, stuffed up my mouth simultaneously with their joints. I coughed at each drag, a messed–up novice I was, and they did not stop until the three of us had gone through five wraps and three bottles of Chelsea local dry gin. We were on the sixth wrap when they came along. Three of them. Three full-formed ladies trudging through the night. They were almost the same height and stature, – that was all I could make out as they advanced towards us and, their hips swayed to the clink-clank their high heels made. I couldn't make out their faces in the poorly illuminated street. NEPA had taken it upon themselves to rid the street of electricity that night and I did not bother trying to make out their faces, – even when we got close. It was quite dark and we had waited two hours in the freezing cold. I just wanted to get it done with and go home.
"Hey, there are three of them and there are three of us." Frank began drunkenly. He gulped greedily from the bottle that Gboyega had opened before we sighted the girls. I snatched the bottle from him and downed the remaining content. It was hot and burnt harshly as it ran down my throat, through my guts and inflamed the throbbing passion threatening to blow me up.
The night suddenly grew darker and blurrier and all I remembered was dragging one of the girls down with me. I woke in Frank's toilet, face-down, in a pool of my vomit.
That night Fiyin did not come back home. Nor the next, or the day after the next. She came back six days later while Mama Fide was grinding tomatoes on the mortar she borrowed from Mama Jeje, one of the over thirty neighbours in the multi-storey, multi-roomed houses popularly known as civilian barracks they live in. Mama Fide had spent the last six days fretting and worrying over Fiyin, her last child and only daughter, and almost had an heart attack when Fiyin did not pick up her calls on the first two days, and on the third the operator began advising her to call back later as the number she had dialled was switched off.
The numerous neighbours had taken turns, individually and collectively, to advice Mama Fide to take heart and not lose sleep over Fiyin's absence. Children of nowadays, they said, they are not worth worrying over. She could be out there enjoying herself, who knows?
Mama Fide kept quiet all through their admonition, betraying no slight emotion. Towards the middle of the second week, she was grinding tomato on the balcony on the last floor. She lifted her head to wipe the beaded sweats forming and, momentarily, caught sight of Fiyin dragging herself limply into the compound. Her eyes lit with fiery excitement and she shot up, out and down the zig-zag stairs to expend her pent-up motherly affection on her lost but found daughter.
"Oh Jesus, you are great! Thank you. Where have you been? Iwo omo yii? Ehn, you this child. You wanted to kill me, abi? What would I have told your late father's relatives? Ehn, tell me." She blurted in the middle of hugging and pecking, turning and examining her. Fiyin submitted herself to her mother's cross–examination silently, wearily as she hoped the gathering neighbours would just keep their peace and spare her their exaggerated excitement at seeing her.
Fiyin became a ghost of herself. She slept more than usual, often dozing off during her favourite TV series or while reading. She slept through the day and through the night. Her voracious appetite was nowhere to be found and she began picking on her food, counting and naming them in the process. She kept to herself mostly, only responding curtly to questions.
Mama Fide could not believe her ears. Fiyin had begun vomiting. Once, twice, then repeatedly until she noticed and her suspicions took the best of her. She had had to drag Fiyin down to the hospital for a check-up.
"Pregnant!" She repeated, dryly.
"Yes ma.' The doctor acquiesced. He fingered some papers nonchalantly. 'From what I can see, she is two weeks and some days gone."
Mama Fide turned to face Fiyin wide-mouthed.
"How come?"
Fiyin did not respond. She turned towards the examining bed and traced the creases. During the following months, she only traced the cracks on the walls and imaginary wrinkles on the face of her mother while she tried her possible best to find out who was responsible for the pregnancy.
Fiyin's water broke the day before Fide's final exams were to commence. Fide was, finally, scanning through his Physiochemistry textbook, glad to have taken his mind off wondering why she had been fixing her eyes on him for the past nine months as though she was trying to make up her mind on something concerning him. She never did make up her mind, he guessed, as he suspected and caught her always eyeing him. She never threw away her face.
Mama Fide rushed into the living room, from her room, as soon as she heard Fiyin scream. She threw herself beside her and after inquiring the reason for the scream and only getting further grunts and sharp screams in reply, discerned instinctively it was time.
"Eh, drop that book Fide. Come and assist me in carrying your sister to the hospital. Her water has broken."
"Push!!!" The doctor barked.
Fiyin held my right arm desperately as she tightened her stomach muscles in obedience. She was sweating and crying and almost yanked off my arm from its joint. Her dirt-studded, unattended fingers dug deeper into my flesh, making me whimper.
"Push dear,' the doctor petitioned once more, 'I think I can now see the head."
Fiyin hesitated. She took a long, cursory look at me and motioned me closer. I drew nearer, placing my ear strategically in front of her mouth.
"I knew it was you."
"Me?" I ask, dumbfounded.
"Yes, you, Brother Fide.' She turned my face so I could look straight into her eyes. 'I knew it was you nine months ago on Osope Street."
"I don't get you." I defended myself blankly. Suppressed memories begin to flood my head.
"You and your two drunken friends. I smelt your perfume. Night Walker.It was you who did this to me."
I withdrew gradually from her, my jaw falling involuntarily. I couldn't believe what I had just heard. The delivery ward gained on me like a cop rushing in on a criminal in the act. Caught, red-handed. I found it difficult to breathe and to even gasp.
"Push dear. We are almost there. Just one more push."
She mustered up all the strength she had, compacting her muscles as her stomach tightened to the maximal pressure it could bear.
"That's good dear… It's a girl."
"Her name shall be Gift." Fiyin announced tiredly.
The first baby cry was let out and Fiyin's stomach muscles relaxed to their position. She looked me stolidly in the eye, smiled and let out the ghost. Unable to look at you, the product of my drunken rash act, I stared at Fiyin stolidly. She laid stone cold, her smile intact as though mocking my miserable state.
I hope Frank and Gboyega had their sisters that night. Wait, Gboyega is the only child but he might have had his cousin or a distant cousin or someone remotely or complexly related to him, – you know, all these mother's-sister's-brother's-wife's-mother's-brother-ish. Oh wait, we are all children of Adam and one way or the other, we don't need any blood or filial tie to prove it, the three of us raped our sisters!
Oh, crap! What, the hell, am I thinking?
Mother keeps ranting. I take long drags and drown the smokes with mouthfuls of beer. She says, "You don't have a life,' (Well, what's this I am living?) 'You are stupid and dumb.' (Hell, I know that myself.) 'and you are the worst mistake to have ever happened to me." (Perfect, that's an achievement.) She says all these in two hurriedly spoken languages, out-of-place proverbs and a hundred and ninety seven plus sentences, – some too long I didn't know if they count as a sentence, two or more. I couldn't help but keep count. She gets tired and dash into her room. I used to feel sorry for her but tonight I don't.
You don't say anything, just like your mother. You sit patiently and watch me with those dark eyes that look as though Fiyin had plucked off hers and inserted them in your sockets. And that smile…
"Why do you always have to smile when looking at me?"
My mind is black and blank, and my face is expressionless. I only wished that on that fateful night, I had done the most honourable and bravest thing I would have ever done in my damned life.
If only I had zipped up my trousers and tugged Frank and Gboyega back to their senses by breaking the empty gin bottles on their head, or, better still, stabbed them to death, then the world would have been rid of three rapists and three rape victims. I wouldn't have raped my sister and be plagued with those horrible guilt pangs that drove me dumb and paranoid during my last semester exam in medicine school. I would have become a doctor, have a posh house on the Island, marry a beautiful damsel and have Mother off my back. Maybe, then, I would have become the best thing to have ever happened to her and the world in general. That wouldn't have been crap.
Seriously, if only I hadn't lost my wits and voice, if I had been a man just for ten minutes instead of a depraved idiot I wouldn't have been your father and your mother, my sister, would still be alive. You, you would still be at that place we pretend to know but actually don't know. That place that would have been the perfect answer to your question, 'Where do babies come from?'
Fide drops the empty bottle among the strewn pile on the floor. He sucks the last of the cigarette and stamps the end with his bare feet. It burns his sole lightly but he feels nothing. He had taught himself not to feel anything. He, crosses his arms, raises his head and locks eyes with his eager, anticipating daughter's.
He clears his throat and scratches his unkempt hair, wondering what to say.

See the following pictures where I have drawn examples. However they could be scattered anywhere in the image and have fuzzy boundaries so some thresholding is necessary.
The output should be something like, "(x1,y1,x2,y2) average 95% white, (x3,y3,x4,y4) average 92% black", etc
What algorithms can scan images and pick up features like this, efficiently?

It's bright and early on New York time when we speak to Andriani, but she's been up a while to walk her dog round the gorgeous Central Park, which is super close to her place. Oh, the dream! The North London native relocated to New York a few years ago alongside her husband when a job op arose for him. Sounds like a fairy tale, doesn't it! Living in New York had always been one of Andriani's dreams and so the pair upped and left London behind for the vibrant hustle and bustle of NYC.
Let's cast back a few years to the shoot of the look we're going behind today: Andriani had not long gone at it alone, leaving her days as a makeup artist's assistant behind her and found herself on set with a young photographer and stylist, both of whom were in the same position. It's a truth known that any freelance venture is a hustler's game, particularly in the beauty industry, and so relationships and connections are everything. Andriani tells us she wished that she had been a bit braver and put herself out there more, but you live and you learn, and Andriani has some incredible names in her little black book now!
Fortunately the young trio, enthusiastic to try new techniques and throw themselves into the shoot, got on like a house on fire, which led them to work together for years after. The shoot, a few years old now, remains in Andriani's book due to its overwhelming popularity – and we can see why. Although the shoot has a very clear 80s/disco look, there's something about the editorial that makes it so modern, even now. The retro shoot seems fitting now as the magazine it was shot for now resides in magazine heaven. RIP More Magazine – we miss giggling at your Barbie doll modelled sex positions.
Andriani cites model Amber's (who she also went on to work with again) face "a dream to work with" for her symmetrical features, making it the perfect canvas for this eclectic disco look! The team picked a handful of looks for the beauty editorial and kept the look contemporary and fashion forward by combining a number of different textures on the skin, layering powders and creams together. A cream eyeshadow was used over the eyelid before purple and gold powders were blended through the socket line. The photographer also used coloured gels to create the illusion of disco lights.
It all sounds very artistic, which isn't surprising given that Andriani is a Fine Art graduate of the prestigious Central Saint Martins here in London. Art remains a passion for Andriani and a hobby she has picked back up since moving to New York. Not only has the city reunited her with art, but workwise she's had the opportunity to paint some of her favourite models, as well as on some incredible shoots for huge brands as well as Victoria's Secrets' girls, which she describes as, "great to get her hands on their faces!"
And from gorgeous gals to fit fellas; Andriani has also worked on a lot of campaigns for sports giants such as Nike or Adidas, often working with big sports players in rugby or football. Having little knowledge of either sport (us too, doll) meant being star struck was never an issue, but chasing stars from set to set to change their looks while managing their entourages sounds suuuper stressful to you or I, however Andriani thrives on it! "I love shoots where there is a really big team, a big energy and everyone is bouncing off each other. I like being busy on set. I like jobs where you're a bit challenged in some ways," she revealed.
So with so many beautiful human beings in her chair, what is Andriani's signature look? "Clients will always comment on how I finish their skin. I have a real formula of the way I do things; I like to mix things together to have real skin. I'm not into that kind of mask look. I need the perfect canvas before I can do the rest. I am keen on eyebrows as well," which leads us perfectly to Andriani's biggest beauty faux pas – eyebrows! Don't judge us, we just had to know!
"I look at pictures of myself as a teenager and I look like a football, just this little round head. Whenever I see someone with bad eyebrows I just want to fix them. I plucked the hell out of them as a teenager and it wasn't until my first day at makeup school when my teacher pulled me aside and said, 'you are not touching your eyebrows until you leave this school.' On the last day she tweezed them for me and I think that spurred on this eyebrow obsession.
Well Andriani we have to agree with your teacher – natural is best! And your eyebrows are divine now, lovely!

College baseball player snaps aluminum bat, still gets on base
Pete Blackburn @PeteBlackburn
You've probably seen plenty of broken bat singles in baseball, but have you ever seen a broken aluminum bat single?
Behold, in all its glory:
Article continues below ...
It comes from the weekend series between Florida and Vanderbilt, and that's Gators catcher J.J. Schwarz knocking a single despite the destruction of his metal bat. Not only did Schwarz score the unlikely base hit, he also got two RBIs out of it as a result.
It was that kind of day for both Florida and Vanderbilt, as the Gators came away with a blowout 20-8 win against the Commodores.

Popular Italian Eclectic Restaurant
Frisco loves Italian food. At least, that is my conclusion after seeing the crowds waiting for seating at Crudo on a recent weekend night. What folks line up for is an eclectic menu of (mainly) Italian-inspired dishes drawn from acknowledged fan favorites. Things like fried calamari ($13), pizza margherita ($13), chicken parmesan ($16) and veal saltimbocca ($26). There are some French-inspired items like French onion soup ($7), some that depend on classification (is the charcuterie actually salumi?), and some obligatory nods to the popularity of steak (Black Angus Filet Mignon, $28). It is a something-for-everyone model.
We started with a bowl of black mussels ($12) in a tomato sauce peppered with substantial slices of Spanish chorizo. The mussels were good, but the sauce so absolutely divine that we belatedly asked for the spoon to sip it which we should have asked for when we ordered.
Kobe Short Rib Tortellini ($12) was three tortellini pockets stuffed with kobe beef and also topped, like a hat, with a slice of kobe. I found the hat slice chewier than I expected but liked the earthy Chianti glaze draped over the top.
Stuffed Shrimp ($23) set 3 nicely meaty shrimp atop an addictive creamy mascarpone risotto and accompanied them with shaved cuts of asparagus and roasted peppers.
Sea Scallops Lobster Tortellini ($29) was three tortellini, reasonably fully stuffed with lobster, and three sea scallops bathed in lobster sherry sauce. To make this look like a plateful, some greens, (and those asparagus cuts from the stuffed shrimp dish), were tossed over the top of the tortellini. This buried them, which struck me as an odd plating arrangement but provided the fun of excavating them with my cutlery.
Desserts are crowd pleasers from Italy and places beyond such as Tiramisu ($8), Key Lime Pie ($8), and Chocolate Lava Cake ($8).
There is a good selection of wines by the glass that vary from $10 to $24. The Recchia 'Ca Bertoldi' Amarone ($24) is the most expensive glass, but recommended as a very serious red for those meat and pasta dishes. Surprisingly, to me, the 50-selection wine list is only about 20% Italian. I would have thought that, focusing on the food of the country with the most types of wine in the world would lead to a heavy emphasis on Italy. Also, despite the success of Sangiovese, Vermentino and other Italian grapes in Texas, there is not a single Texes wine. The full bar also mixes capable cocktails and beer is available. Happy hour rocks 4-7pm, Monday through Thursday.
The wood panelled room gets noisy when full and a couple will have to raise their voices to hear each other across a 2-top table. The tables are also close set. I was on the outside of ours and one consequence was that I was brushed against three times in the course of dinner, once by a bus boy. Ask for a table outside the major trafficked routes. Parking is easy, right outside.
As a mid-priced and mainly Italian restaurant, open for lunch and dinner, Crudo is a welcome addition to Frisco's emerging dining scene.

High Power Load for Testing Eurorack Power Supplies
The Power Waster is a module designed for stress testing power supplies. It draws 500 mA from each rail of the power supply. These can be paralleled to increase the current draw. The draw for each rail can be disabled via jumper on the front panel so that when combining multiple Power Wasters one can draw differing amounts of current on each voltage rail. This is primarily useful for power supply developers and sadists.

Five of them brought their message to Cape Coral today, making their case for changes being placed on the ballot in November in the wake the school shooting that left 17 people dead and another 14 wounded in Parkland.
David Hogg, Charlie Mirsky, Ryan Deitsch, Chris Grady and Alfonso Calderon were among the hundreds attending the Constitution Revision Commission public hearing that began at 1 and will continue until 7 p.m. at The Westin.
It is the fifth of six such hearings to be held on the CRC's 2018 "Road to the Ballot" public hearing tour to determine which among 37 constitutional amendment proposals will be placed on the General Election ballot for voter consideration.
Only Hogg and Deitsch actually spoke during the hearing, while others from local schools expressed their views by putting up red and green cards to express their pleasure or displeasure on the measures speakers brought up.
The meeting is open to - and intended for - the public and no tickets or RSVPs are required although speaker cards are needed to address the CRC.
The appointed commission convenes every 20 years to examine and bring forward constitutional amendments for voter consideration.
There are 37 active proposals being considered this go-around from among the 103 that made it out of the committee process in the fall, with a prohibition on wagering on greyhound racing also drawing comment thus far today.
Also expected to draw much comment is the so-called primary loophole.
Currently, primaries are open in Florida if the candidate slate is limited to one party. A write-in candidate on the ballot, however, closes the primary. Critics say this violates the spirit of the open-primary provision as write-in candidates often do not campaign.
Other proposals include a ban on offshore drilling, a residents' bill of rights proposal, and dog races and death benefits for survivors of first responders and military members.
The CRC has until May 10 to complete its work with its final report then due to the Secretary of State.
Any amendments then will be placed on the 2018 General Election ballot in November. The threshold for an amendment to pass is 60 percent.
The Westin Cape Coral Resort at Marina Village is at 5951 Silver King Blvd.
f you can't attend, you can still provide input at flcrc.gov , via email to email@example.com , by calling (850) 717-9550 or by mailing your comments to the Constitution Revision Commission, The Capitol, 400 S. Monroe St., Tallahassee, FL 32399

The project aimed to compile and catalogue archaeological evidence on early iron smelting in Sri Lanka and thus took up research aims and questions already addressed in the framework of the research group (A-5) Iron.
Research Topic: "iron"
Early Iron in Eastern Europe (A-5-6)Research project
The spread of iron metallurgy into Europe has been a long lasting debate since the beginnings of iron production are hardly comprehensible. Apparently, the southern part of Eastern Europe played a major role in the introduction of this complex pyrotechnology doubtless due to its integration into the Circumpontic network and the proximity to the Near East. The research project aimed to highlight the development of the earliest use of iron in Eastern Europe.
Iron mining in the Tyrrhenian Sea (A-5-4-2)Dissertation
The Topoi dissertation project A-5-4-2 constitutes the physical-geographical part of the interdisciplinary research project (A-5-4) Iron mining and smelting in the (northern) Tyrrhenian Sea. The dissertation focuses on a landscape-archaeological perspective on human–environment interactions on Elba Island (Tyrrhenian Sea; Tuscany, Italy) during the period of pre-industrial iron smelting (5th century BCE– 1st century BCE/CE and 10th to 13th century CE).
Iron, landscape and humans on Elba in 1st millennium BCE (A-5-4-1)Dissertation
The doctoral project A-5-4-1 represents the archaeological part of the interdisciplinary Topoi research project (A-5-4) Iron mining and smelting in the (northern) Tyrrhenian Sea. The dissertation deals beside the topography and chronology of iron smelting sites also with the impact of iron mining and smelting on the landscape of Elba Island in the 1st millennium BCE. In addition, it concentrates on a diachronic investigation of the antique mining work/slavery and on an economic historical classification of the Elban iron production in the Mediterranean context.
Phoenician and indigenous spaces in Southern Iberia: innovation, interaction and transformation in the ancient economy of metals (A-5-COFUND-1)Third-party funded project
The project focused on investigating the relationship between Phoenicians and indigenous Iberians during the Early Iron Age (9th-7th c. BC) with respect to the exploitation of mining resources and production of metals in southern Spain.
The beginnings of iron smelting in the area of the Przeworsk culture (A-5-2-2)Dissertation
The spread of technical innovations such as iron smelting required basic natural resources (iron ore) and manual skills along with social acceptability and necessity. The dissertation investigated the beginnings of iron smelting in the area of the Przeworsk culture (Poland). It is assumed that the earliest stages of local and regional iron production coincide with the emergence of the Przeworsk culture within the 2nd century BC.
Human and Environment Interactions in the Environs of Prehistorical Iron Smelting Places in Silesia and Brandenburg (A-5-2-1)Dissertation
Within the framework of the interdisciplinary research project (A-5-2) "Iron mining in the Przeworsk Culture", this doctoral thesis dealed with the human-environment interactions of early iron smelting in the Widawa catchment area in Lower Silesia, Poland.
Iron mining and smelting in the Tyrrhenian Sea (A-5-4)Research project
The project focused on a topo-chronological reassessment of iron smelting on Elba in Antiquity and the environmental impacts of ancient metallurgy on the island.
Iron Technology in the Museum (A-5-7)Research project
The revision and new conception of the prehistoric exhibition at the Museum für Vor- und Frühgeschichte in Berlin affected, among other things, the museum's Pre-Roman Iron Age division, featuring artifacts from ancient Europe and Eurasia. In setting up the new exhibition at "Neues Museum", the focus was not only on portraying Iron Age cultural groups, but also and especially on the subject of iron and iron smelting as a new raw material and a new technology.
Iron Smelting in the Baltic Region (A-5-5)Research project
This project conducted fundamental research into deposits and smelting sites in the southwestern Baltic region. In the course of the project, the group analyzed, recorded and mapped sites that may have met the prerequisites for independent iron smelting.

Boho Dancer
Wednesday 2nd November 2011
Behind the name Boho Dancer lies a melancholic soul in a powerful woman. The core of the band's music is the reckless yet fragile expression of Ida Wenoee, The grandiose music has a stripped- down Nordic tone, which creates a captivating and unexpected depth. Drawing on influences as diverse as Patti Smith, Nina Simone and Simon & Garfunkel, Boho Dancer provide a complex and unique sound that is both contemporary and primordial.
The music always played an important role in Ida's life. She always felt the need to express herself through music and as a teenager she stumbled upon her mother's old acoustic guitar. Since then a stream of songs have flowed from the young artist. After a year of formal musical studies, Ida realised that this wasn't satisfying her growing need of expressing her musical ideas. She embarked on an uncertain but rewarding journey with one single goal: to fullfill the big potential of her songwriting talent. In her band Boho Dancer, she found an environment where she can flourish.

09/01/19 (written by kheinle) – Mexico's high levels of violence are indisputable. The country is on track to have more homicides in 2019 than any year on record. Journalists are three times more likely to be killed in Mexico in 2019 than any other nation in the world. The country is grappling with a recent display of extreme violence when 27 individuals were burned to death at a strip club in Veracruz on August 27. What the causes and solutions of that violence are, however, have been widely debated.
Mexico's New Criminal Justice System (Nuevo Sistema de Justicia Penal, NSJP) has often been labeled the cause of the crime and violence, the effect, and/or the solution. Some of these opposing takes are discussed below.
Background on the NSJP
Mexico's New Criminal Justice System (Nuevo Sistema de Justicia Penal, NSJP) has been in effect for over three years. Former President Enrique Peña Nieto (2012-2018) rang in the system's official launch on June 18, 2016, in Mexico City. This ended the judicial system's eight-year implementation period stretching from 2008 to 2016 that was inaugurated by former President Felipe Calderón (2006-2012). Read more about the NSJP in Justice in Mexico's special report, "Criminal Procedure Reform in Mexico, 2008-2016."
The life of the NSJP has spanned multiple presidents' sexenios. It has been more than 11 years since the launch of its implementation in 2008, and more than three years since the end of the implementation period in 2016. Unprecedented amounts of resources (financial, capacity building, academic, infrastructure, etc.) have been poured into the NSJP's development and significant progress has been made. Yet the system still garners mixed reactions from the public, government officials, judicial system operators, academics, and beyond.
Critics Weigh In
Human rights activist Alejandro Martí, head of the organization México SOS, has been a critic of the overhauled justice system, arguing that it plays a role in perpetuating impunity in Mexico. "The fundamental problem of the [NSJP] is the corruption," he said in June 2019. "And corruption produces this terrible impunity, which I have said for years. Impunity is a result of all the wrongs of Mexico." A recent study by México Evalúa found that more than 90% of crimes committed in 31 of Mexico's 32 states and federal entities were left unresolved. In seven states, impunity rates top 99%.
Martí also called out elected officials – particularly governors – and the police for the pervasiveness of corruption within their systems. He reminded the media with which he spoke that "half of the group of kidnappers who killed my son were police," referencing his son's murder in 2008 that led him to become an activist. Martí leveled his criticisms during a press conference that was promoting Mexico's 8th National Forum on Security and Justice ("8° Foro Nacional de Seguridad y Justicia") held June 7-8.
Former Mayor of Mexico City (Ciudad de México, CdMx) Miguel Ángel Mancera also voiced his concern that the New Criminal Justice System is responsible for higher levels of insecurity in the nation's capital. In an interview with Ciro Gómez Leyva in June 2019, Mancera argued that the NSJP led to the release of nearly 15,000 formerly incarcerated individuals to the streets of Mexico City in 2014 as part of the legal reforms. The NSJP is therefore, he reasoned, partially to blame for the kidnappings and assaults that now occur. Mancera did acknowledge that Mexico City has long dealt with challenges related to drug trafficking and criminal activity, but that they were being addressed. Mancera's comments came in response to criticism from current Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum, who said the actions of former government administrations are responsible for today's crime.
Supporters Come to the Defense
Understandably so, a strong supporter of the New Criminal Justice System is the president of Mexico's Supreme Court (Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación, SCJN). Justice Arturo Zaldívar, who joined the court in 2009, recently came to the justice system's defense.
"With the unfortunate situation our country encounters with high levels of insecurity and impunity, there is no shortage of voices that claim the new [justice] system is responsible for these ills," said Justice Zaldívar. "What is certain is that the new criminal justice system is neither the cause nor the effect of that problems that we face. More likely, it is the probable solution to them." He continued, emphasizing that a strong and effective criminal justice system is critical to achieving peace and justice. "If we want a better country, if we want a country in which laws are respected, if we want a country where we live in harmony with peace and justice," he said, "we should advance on the path on which we've come, we should perfect the accusatorial criminal system, [and] we should respect and value the richness of due process, the presumption of innocence, and the right to defense."
His comments came as part of the bilateral conference, "Diálogos sobre el Sistema de Justicia Penal con el Reino Unido," held August 12-15, 2019, in Mexico City. It is an annual meeting between the United Kingdom and Mexico that started in 2015. Each year, justices from both countries gather to exchange experiences and best practices, host mock courtroom hearings, and learn from one another, writes Excélsior. Despite the U.K. and Mexico operating different styles of criminal justice systems, the conference offers an opportunity for judges, public defenders, prosecutors, and law students to convene. This year's topic focused specifically on oral trials, a pillar of the New Criminal Justice System in Mexico.
These are but a few of the many examples of criticism and support leveled towards Mexico's New Criminal Justice System and its role or lack thereof in crime and violence nationwide. Justice in Mexico has explored both these topics throughout the years, which can be read about here.

If you are an Ass : A very loyal and sweet person. Your loyalty can never be doubted. You are quite honest and sincere when it comes to your attitude towards working. You are a very simple person, indeed. Absolutely hassle free, humble, and down-to-earth!! That explains the reason why your friends cling on to you! You have a good taste for clothes. If your wardrobe is not updated with what is trendy, you sure are depressed. Popular and easy-going. You have a little gr! oup of dignified friends, all of them being quality-personified.
If you are a Slug : Always up to some sort of a mischief! The mischievous gleam in your eyes is what makes you so cute and attractive to everyone. You are an extremely fun-to-be-with kind of person. No wonder people seek your company and look forward to include you for all get-together. However, you are sensitive which is a drawback. People need to select their words while talking to you. If someone tries to fiddle around and play with words while dealing with you, it is enough to invite your wrath. God bless the person then!
If you are a Cockroach : Quite contradictory to your name, you are a peace loving person. You best try to avoid a situation wherein you are required to fight. An outdoor person, you dislike sitting at one place for a long duration. You are a born leader, and have it in you how to tactfull! y deriv e work from people. You love being loved and when you receive your share of limelight from someone, you are all theirs!!!! Well, well… Hence some people could even take an advantage, flatter you to the maximum and get their work done. So be careful…..
If you are a Parasite : An extremely lovable, adorable person, sometimes shy, with a passion for quick wit. At times, you prefer quietness. You love exploring various things and going into depth of each thing. Under normal circumstances you're cool but when given a reason to, you are like a volcano waiting to erupt. You're a fashion bird. People look forward to you as an icon associated with fashion. Basically, you mingle along freely but don't like talking much to strangers. People feel very easy in your company. You observe care in choosing your friends.
If you are a Skunk : You are near to perfect and nice at heart! . The e xamples of your kindness are always circulated in groups of people. You, too, love peace. You wouldn't like to retaliate even to a person who is in the wrong. You are loved due to this. You do not wish to talk behind one's back. People love the way you always treat them. You can give, give, and give love, and the best part is that you do not expect it back in return. You are generous enough. Seeing things in a practical light is what remains the best trait of you guys.
If you are a Bullfrog : You symbolize a very happy-go-lucky approach in life. Whatever the surroundings may be, grim or cheerful, you remain unaffected. In fact, you spread cheer wherever you go. You are the leader of your group of friends! and good at consoling people in their times of need. You dislike hypocrisy and tend to shirk away from hypocrites. They can never be in your good books, no matter what. You are very methodical and organized in your work. No amount of mess, hence, can ever encompass you. Beware, it is easy for you to fall in love….
If you are a Snake : You are mysterious. You are someone who can handle pressure with ease, and can handle any atmosphere without going berserk. You can be mean at times, and love to gossip with your selected group. Very prim and proper. You like all situations and things to be in the w! ay you desire, which, sometimes is not possible. As a result, you may lose out in some relationships. But otherwise, you love to help people out from difficult and tight spots when they really need you.
If you are an Ape : Very impatient and hyper!!! You want things to be done as quick as possible. At heart, you are quite simple and love if you are the center of attraction. That way, you people are unique. You would like to keep yourself safe from all the angles. Shall your name be dragged or featured in any sort of a controversy, you then go all panicky. Therefore, you take your precautions from the very beginning. When you foresee anything wrong, your sixth sense is what saves you from falling in traps. Quite a money minded bunch you people are!
Here's mine..some are true some are not, i guess...it's up for you to know!!!hehehe
