it’s not going to be overbearing,” Reidy said “It really is modernizing the site,” he added the dealership is seeking a finding from the Zoning Board of Appeals because the side yard setback is less than 15 feet from the neighboring Harbor Freight Tools at 303 Russell the Planning Board continued to March 5 a hearing on site plans for a landscaping business at 243 Russell St. as the landowner is questioning the level of oversight the board is giving the project owner of In the Green Gardens at 243 Russell St. told the board he reached out to Heritage Land Surveying & Engineering Inc of Southampton to prepare an improvement plan identify wetlands and complete a traffic study But Robert Roy said that during the 25 years he and his wife Stacia have owned the property there have never been issues with drainage as alleged by the neighbors who own the buildings at 245 Russell and 241 Russell Roy said tenants at his property have included a tanning salon and Hadley Fence and Hastie Fence companies Roy said it would be unfair to make “unacceptable and unreasonable” demands of a recent college graduate trying to start a business he’s trying to correct all these deficiencies,” Roy said adding that renting the property is his retirement income Roy said the preliminary price tag for plans is exorbitant I can’t even imagine what it’s going to be to put a drainage system in,” Roy said and I don’t think Steve is going to bear the cost of it.” Dwyer said a professional evaluation of the site is important noting that previous changes in use on the site slipped through town oversight planners also approved a 10-square-foot construction sign for Pioneer Valley Hotel Group’s Towneplace Suites by Marriott which is being constructed at 237 Russell St you agree with our use of cookies to personalize your experience measure ads and monitor how our site works to improve it for our users there are 15 Eagle Scouts in the graduating class of 125 That means 12 percent of this year’s Wantagh graduates earned the highest rank in Scouting all 15 Eagle Scouts started together in the same Cub Scout pack — Pack 191 the boys joined one of three Scout troops: 96 the guys never forgot their time together in Pack 191 So when it was time to graduate from high school earlier this month “Tony’s Flock of Eagles” reunited for the photo above membership and marketing chairwoman for the Pequott District of the Theodore Roosevelt Council One of the most challenging and time-consuming parts of becoming an Eagle Scout is the Eagle project lead and complete a significant service project that benefits their community Each of these 15 Eagle Scouts did just that the Eagle Scouts will take what they’ve learned in school and Scouting to college They’re headed to an impressive array of different universities in New York The future — for these 15 young men and for our world as a whole — looks bright indeed Contribute to the National Eagle Scout Association (NESA) Scholarship Fund Donations to this fund go directly to providing scholarships to deserving Eagle Scouts allowing them to pursue their dreams and make a positive impact on the world Help wanted: Staff still needed in these areas at the 2019 World Scout Jamboree Keeping your cool: Five tips for better Scouting in the heat Aaron Derr is the senior editor of Aaron on Scouting and Scout Life magazine and also a former Cubmaster and Scouts BSA volunteer Michael Freeman is an associate editor of Scout Life and Scouting magazines Sheniece Chappell is an associate editor of Scout Life and Scouting magazines Bryan Wendell is the founder of Bryan on Scouting (now Aaron on Scouting) Watch Cub Chat Live every Friday at 2 p.m. CT on Facebook Live for tips Watch Troop Talk Live every second Wednesday of the month at 2 p.m. CT on Facebook Live for ideas to help your troop.

Volume 5 - 2019 | https://doi.org/10.3389/fbuil.2019.00102 This article is part of the Research TopicSeismic Analysis and Retrofitting of Historical BuildingsView all 14 articles seismic vulnerability and risk assessment of two samples of churches located in Teramo and Ischia island (Naples gulf) both affected by the most recent earthquakes that occurred in Italy we applied a simplified method particularly suitable for seismic evaluations at a territorial scale providing a global resulting score to be compared among the cases analyzed The data obtained allowed us to provide vulnerability maps and a seismic risk index for all the considered churches the calculated indexes permit a preliminary health state evaluation of the inspected churches for ranking the priorities and planning additional in-depth evaluations The structural analysis of monumental buildings belongs to a multidisciplinary study where different types information are converging such as construction history (year of erection geometrical and structural critical survey it is possible to firstly diagnose the causes that produce instability and/or degradation of structural elements which are very often multiple and generally act simultaneously these causes can be classified as intrinsic or extrinsic: the former refers to the origin and nature of the monumental buildings and to their vulnerability; the latter is related to the site geographic conditions The Italian territory is characterized by a high seismicity level demonstrated by the last earthquakes that occurred in the recent past such as in Irpinia (1980) These events unfortunately gave rise to serious consequences in terms of death and damage to historical buildings and theoretical procedures are required in order to assess the seismic vulnerability of the structures and to design specific interventions useful for repairing the damages or avoiding future ones after collecting all information (structural and related to potential threats in the area) necessary for evaluating seismic vulnerability and the resulting risk indexes the achieved results are compared and discussed The obtained results show that the considered methodology is also useful for comparison of the seismic risk of different geographical areas a new territorial seismic risk score is also proposed In order to assess the seismic performance of an existing structure, the current Italian Design Code (Ministry of Infrastructures and Transports, 2008a,b; Cecchi and Calvi, 2010; Directive of the Italian Prime Minister, 2011; Ministry of Infrastructures Transports, 2018) defines the design criteria and the performance targets to be satisfied under an earthquake action These indications are useful for assessing vulnerability combined with the seismic hazard for evaluating the resulting seismic risk as well as all the possible effects in terms of expected damage that an earthquake can produce in a determined time and area a document integrating Stovel's manual and introducing physical nature threats caused by climatic factors and chemical nature hazards Seismic risk is the measurement of the expected damage of buildings placed at a specified site in a given time interval It is considered as the combination of three factors in order to assess the seismic risk of a built area knowledge of only the hazard is not enough since it is also necessary to carefully estimate the different construction vulnerabilities present during the seismic event and the related economic and social value of their content In this paper, the methodology applied refers to a recent work carried out by the University of Basilicata for providing territorial risk maps for planning useful intervention plans also addressed to increase cultural heritage resilience (D'Amato et al., 2018; Fuentes et al., 2019a) by considering both natural and anthropic threats the method is applied only for a seismic risk analysis involving the application of three distinct tools Tool 1: Priority attention on actions related to the buildings according to their exposure value (E); Tool 3: Evaluation and quantification of the seismic vulnerability level (V) The choice of this simplified method is due to the fact that it allows assessment of seismic risk at a territorial scale before a real seismic event just supposing different earthquake magnitudes such as the ones proposed by the GNDT or Italian civil protection are based on a post-earthquake survey of damages with visual analyses the method permits a fast appraisal of a large number of ancient churches in a certain area requiring very simple information about dimensional features Once the first seismic risk screening is conducted it is possible to carry out more in-depth analyses in order to program retrofitting interventions the present simplified model does not take into account the cumulative damage due to repeated shocks (for example or due to a series of events acting on unrepaired buildings) that influences the vulnerability of the buildings investigated and the simplified method considered is applied to two different samples of churches located in two distinct geographical areas: it allows one to perform comparative seismic risk analyses at a territorial scale The simplified procedure allows one to separately score exposure value (application of Tool 1), seismic hazard (Tool 2), and seismic vulnerability (Tool 3). Then, the so-obtained scores are multiplied in accordance with the relationship (UNDRO, 1979; FEMA, 2004): as well as financial and scientific values seismic risk assessment has been performed unless the score E is assigned by means of Tool 1 It considers the risk from different points of view with the aim of conducting a qualitative analysis that leads to the identification of threats conditioning the performances of buildings configured as sporadic events with catastrophic generally corresponding to continuous processes with low or gradual consequences except for the cases of sporadic events (i.e. fires caused by industrial activities and forest fires) with catastrophic consequences The risk scenarios are divided into the best They are determined on the basis of the statistical principle that considers a higher probability of catastrophic events in areas already affected by earthquakes The main natural threats are earthquakes and tsunami and dangers due to atmospheric environment the erosion index and the physical stress ones are defined and electrochemical threats are of the following different nature: - Health-ecological: epidemics or parasites - Socio-organizational: wars; social hardship manifestations; terrorism; vandalism; tourist pressure; population overload; relative humidity increase; air or terrestrial accidents; and forest fires; - Severe demographic decline with consequent building abandonment and consequent lack of maintenance: material deterioration those that influence cultural heritage the most are air and water pollution which cause deterioration of materials and the environment Scenario description and classification of threats according to damage severity Parameter evaluation and quantification in order to calculate the vulnerability index the vulnerability index V may be evaluated with the following relationship: the sum is extended to all possible parameters considered the higher the seismic vulnerability of a structure which may fall within the following ranges: - Low vulnerability: 0 < V ≤ 10.81; - Medium vulnerability: 10.81 < V ≤ 55.52; - High vulnerability: 55.52 < V ≤ 100 In the following, each parameter considered is described in detail. More information may be found in Dı̀az Fuentes (2016) and D'Amato et al. (2018) By indicating as Δh the foundation difference altitude the four considered classes are as follows: - Buildings placed on rocky terrain with slopes equal to or lower than 10% and any Δh; - Buildings placed on loose ground with slopes lower than or equal to 10% and Δh = 0 - Buildings placed on rocky terrain with a slope of 10–30% and any Δh; - Buildings placed on loose ground with Δh ≤ 1 m and in the absence of unbalanced pressures due to embankments also verifying one of the following conditions: A ground slope lower than 10% and 0 < Δh ≤ l; A ground slope of 10–30% and Δh ≤ l; a ground slope of 10–30% and Δh ≤ l - Buildings placed on rocky terrain with a slope of 30–50% and any Δh; - Buildings on loose ground and Δh ≤ l which verifies one of the following conditions: Absence of unbalanced thrusts due to embankments Presence of unbalanced thrusts due to embankments All the other cases that do not fall into the previous classes In the case of a rectangular building, a significant parameter is the ratio between the dimensions of minor and major sides β1 = a/l × 100 (Figure 1). In case of plan layouts with different shapes, in addition to the β1 parameter, it is necessary to take into account another parameter β2 = b/l × 100, which is the ratio between the deviation size and the larger dimension (Figure 1) The assignment to a given class is made on the basis of the most unfavorable conditions set by the β1 and β2 parameters as follows: β1 ≥ 80 and β2 ≤ 10 60 ≤ β1 <80 and 10 < β2 ≤ 20 40 ≤ β1 <60 and 20 < β2 ≤ 30 β1 <40 and β2> 30 It is necessary to take into account the presence of porticoes having a significant surface compared to that of the building as well as towers of significant height and mass compared to the remaining part of the building the ± ΔM/M ratio is considered - ΔM is the mass variation between two successive levels; Percentage variations <10% can be considered negligible the ΔM/M ratio can be replaced by the ±ΔA/A ratio where A and ΔA are the plan covered surface and its variation The four classes to be considered are as follows: - Buildings with uniform mass distribution over the whole height; - Buildings with mass continually decreasing - Buildings with porticoes and loggias of modest size; - Buildings that present backwardness resulting in a decrease of the floor area >10 and <20%; - Buildings with towers with a height <10% of the total building - Buildings with porticoes or loggias having surface >10% and equal to or <20% of the total covering floor area; - Buildings with retractions involving a reduction of the floor area more than 20%; - Buildings with towers with a height more than 10 and <40% of the total building The aim of this parameter is to evaluate the presence of walls (without considering partition walls) intersected by transverse ones that are able to constitute an efficient constraint to prevent the development of out-of-plane overturning mechanisms The vulnerability classes are the following Buildings having the following geometrical features: - Slenderness (height/thickness) <8; - The internal room width should not be more than 2.5 times the wall thickness; - Door and window must be located at a distance from the nearest free edge almost three times the wall thickness; - The distance between the wall bracing axes must be <6 times the wall thickness; - The wall relative verticality must not be >10% of its height - Buildings with only three of the Class A geometric features - Buildings with only two of the Class A geometric features - Buildings that do not have the geometrical features described in class A and projections that can cause damage to people or things - Buildings with windows and fixtures well-connected to the walls; - Buildings with balconies that are an integral part of the horizontal structures - Buildings with external fixtures poorly bounded to the walls and with small false ceilings not well-connected The organization of the vertical elements is evaluated regardless of the material characteristics of walls The significant element is the presence and effectiveness of the connections among orthogonal walls in order to ensure box structure behavior efficiency - Existing buildings consolidated or repaired according to the actual seismic rules - Buildings with good connections among orthogonal walls - Buildings that do not have adequate connections between walls and upper floors; - Buildings with orthogonal walls having a good connection at all levels and floors built up with materials different from the original ones; - One-story buildings composed of orthogonal walls not adequately connected which instead have a good connection between the walls and the roofing system thanks to continuous horizontal structures made of original materials or materials compatible to the existing ones in terms of strength and stiffness It depends on the material and masonry type - Square stone masonry having a good-quality mortar; - Tuff masonry with low porosity and a good-quality mortar; - Masonry composed of solid bricks having a good-quality mortar; - Retrofitted masonry according to the current seismic rules - Stone masonry composed of non-homogeneous elements having a good-quality mortar; - Masonry composed of solid bricks having a medium-quality mortar - Squared masonry stones with irregularities having plaster and medium-quality mortar; - Non-squared masonry stones having plaster and medium-quality mortar - Sack masonry stones having plaster and medium-quality mortar; - Squared masonry stones having plaster and medium-quality mortar; - Masonry bricks having low-quality mortar Masonry types that do not fall within the previous classes This parameter expresses the type and properties of horizontal structures b) Effective floor–wall connections; - Buildings that do not satisfy the third requirement of the previous class - Deformable floor having good connections among walls - Buildings that do not fall within the previous classes The roof elements influencing the building's seismic behavior are as follows: thrusts on the perimeter walls and strength difference with respect to the masonry building - Buildings with non-thrusting roofs having edge beams and/or metal tie rods - Buildings with non-thrusting roofs without edge beams and/or metal tie rods; - Buildings with non-thrusting roofs having edge beams and/or metal tie rods with the absence of efficient connections between the roof and walls - Buildings with thrusting roofs made of the original building materials or materials compatible to the original ones in terms of strength and stiffness and without edge beams and/or metal tie rods; - Buildings with non-thrusting roofs made of the original building materials or materials compatible to the original ones in terms of strength and stiffness and without edge beams and/or metal tie rods This parameter considers the actual building status - Walls in good condition without visible cracks but with possible lesions generated by earthquakes - Buildings with medium-size cracks (width of the lesion: 2–3 mm); but with walls having a conservation status leading toward a significant resistance decrease Buildings that do not fall within the previous classes The parameters useful for the vulnerability evaluation are as follows: - Accessibility: in case of a catastrophic event buildings have no accessibility to roads and/or infrastructures; - Abandonment: the building is in an abandoned context; - Population density: the building is located in a densely populated area; - Isolation: the building is located at a considerable distance from the city center; - Relationship with the geographical context: the building is in a situation of conflict with the site; - Relationship with the built context: the building is in a situation of conflict with the adjacent constructions; - Community relationship: the building is in a situation of conflict with the social context; - Disinterest: the physical and social environments have no relationship with the building - Buildings that do not have any of the above conditions - Buildings that have almost three of the above conditions - Buildings that have almost six of the above conditions - Buildings that have more than six of the above conditions Some interventions on buildings are useful for improving the response toward seismic events it was observed that invasive interventions with materials different from building original ones cause high vulnerabilities - Structures without interventions to the building system; - Structures with modifications to the building system by reversible interventions made of materials compatible to the original ones in terms of strength and stiffness - Structures with modifications to the building system by non-reversible interventions made of materials compatible to the original ones in terms of strength and stiffness - Structures with interventions made of materials compatible to the existing ones that have modified the building mass - Structures with interventions made of materials incompatible to the existing ones in terms of strength and stiffness The parameters affecting fire resistance are as follows: - Presence of ornaments and flammable materials; - Faulty fireplaces with soot and grease accumulation; - Low standard in organization of fire drills; - Fire danger due to smoking or kitchen operations The resulting seismic risk score (R) may be calculated, in accordance with the simplified method considered, as follows (D'Amato et al., 2018): where the H score is increased to unity for having a resulting score higher than 1 the seismic risk score R increases as the vulnerability V and/or the hazard scoring H increases the vulnerability and the risk assessment of two samples of churches are presented the chosen churches are located in two different geographical areas The first group of churches is located in Teramo hit by the L'Aquila earthquake in 2009 The second group of churches falls within the Ischia island Teramo is the provincial capital of the homonymous province, located in the northern area of Abruzzo. It is placed within the Tordino Valley, a hilly area near the Gran Sasso Mountain, which extends toward the coast with a rich vegetation of vineyards and olive groves. It is the third most populous town of the Abruzzo region and has an area of about 10 km2. The churches investigated, distributed within the Teramo area as reported in Figure 3 indicating also the city hamlets where they are located: Saint Catherine of Alexandria church (Teramo); Saint Michael Archangel church (Magnanella Saint Francis of Assisi church (Villa Romano Saint John in Pergulis church (Valle San Giovanni Location of investigated churches in the city of Teramo Some images of the considered churches are reported in Table 3. For sake of completeness, the main geometric features of each church are reported in Table 4 the major and minor dimensions and the height of the hall and of the apse (if present) are reported information about the presence of the bell tower and its estimated height are given as well Geometrical features of churches investigated in Teramo Saint Francis of Paola church (Forio municipality); Most Holy Annunciation church (Lacco Ameno municipality); Saint Sebastiano church (Barano d'Ischia municipality); Saint Michael Archangel church (Forio municipality); Saint Mary of Loreto church (Forio municipality); Saint Francis of Assisi church (Forio municipality); Most Holy Annunciation coven (Forio municipality); Saint Mary of Soccorso church (Forio municipality); Table 5 depicts some images of the considered church samples, while the main geometric features of each church are reported in Table 6 Location of churches investigated in the island of Ischia Geometrical features of churches investigated in Ischia From the analysis of all the collected information related to sporadic and continuous events [described in the section Hazard Scoring (H)], it has been possible to qualitatively evaluate the potential damage severity that could affect the examined churches. The evaluations are numerically reported in Table 7 where the damage assigned for each event is in bold and underlined One can easily note that the investigated area of Ischia has a hazard score H greater than that of Teramo the potential threats that could produce damages are greater than those in the Teramo area Scenarios description and classification of threats for church samples a comparison between vulnerability and seismic risk score for each church is represented in the form of a histogram Vulnerability (V) and the resulting seismic risk (R) scores the number of churches falling into each class (from A to D) for a given vulnerability parameter the distribution of the classes may be observed Distribution of parameter classes for Teramo churches there is a prevailing class for some of the vulnerability parameters such as position of the building and foundation (no resistant system type and organization (no a prevailing class for each parameter is observed in almost all cases with the exception of the parameter distance among walls (no where classes A and B have been assigned to the same number of churches the following considerations can be remarked: Class A of the parameter position of the building and foundations (no 1) has been assigned to almost all the churches since they are located on loose ground with a slope not higher than 10% and with discrete geotechnical properties it has not been possible to detect the in-elevation differences of the foundations due to the absence of appropriate geological analyses; 8) has been attributed to all churches since rigid floors have never been observed; It has not been possible to give objective judgments on the connection quality among orthogonal walls and between walls and horizontal structures because of the presence of frescos and decorations the experience suggests neglecting a good level of connection among walls because orthogonal walls were generally simply juxtaposed to each other showing in most of the cases overturning mechanisms especially in the façade elements; Almost all roofs are made of timber elements that have it is rare to find edge beams with the exception of those where the roof was built in recent times Even the presence of metal tie rods is quite rare: they are absent in the majority of cases; The churches located in Teramo have a vulnerability index ranging from 21.22 to 66.32 The churches located in Ischia have a vulnerability index ranging from 25.93 to 46.46 The Ischia island hazard index (H = 1.31) is greater than that of Teramo (H = 0.78) In order to determine the church sample and the geographical area that are subjected to the highest seismic risk a new territorial seismic risk index ρ is proposed as follows: and ΣSj is the total area of investigated churches the ρ index is equal to 63.13 for Teramo churches and to 67.47 in the case of Ischia churches The higher ρ value in the case of Ischia churches is probably due to their higher vulnerability with respect to Teramo churches a simplified method recently developed and validated for ancient masonry churches has been applied to case studies The proposed method separately evaluates hazard (H) and vulnerability (V) in order to assess the seismic risk at a territorial scale The method is a very useful tool because it quickly provides a territorial preliminary ranking for screening the intervention priorities and for considering different earthquake scenarios as well The method is also versatile for comparing seismic risk evaluations performed in different geographical areas The case studies examined involved two samples of churches located in Teramo and in the Ischia island in the gulf of Naples The territories of churches have many features in common but there are some differences modifying the vulnerability index calculations the analysis of results shows that all the churches of Teramo have a medium vulnerability index The most vulnerable church is the Saint Catherine of Alexandria Even the Ischia churches have a medium vulnerability index with the highest value found in the case of the Saint Michael Archangel church it has been possible to estimate the vulnerability of inspected church areas by means of a new territorial seismic risk index ρ which depends on the territory area covered by the churches and on their seismic risk index R may be applied

The starting point for the topic came from the section "Oracle" from Superinteressante Magazine where readers send in questions that reporters and editors rush to answer The journalist gathered research he had already done in the past on how mathematics applies to the theory of evolution I put together scraps of various other things I had already done and somehow it seemed to make a lot of sense I wrote the text together with a friend who was originally a source from the Federal University of ABC (UFABC-SP) who is a physicist specializing in the theory of general relativity,” recalled the journalist To answer one of the most philosophical questions about the subject Vaiano turned to books such as “Apologia do Matemático,” by Godfrey Harold Hardy “Most mathematicians believe that mathematics was discovered because it is an experimental science But I was more certain of this before reading Bruno’s article because he points out the difficulties that Platonism also brings If mathematics is extracted from empirical experience Reporter Murilo Salviano, from the program Fantástico, on TV Globo, recalled the context in which the report that took 2nd place in the award was produced “Last year we experienced this very difficult situation in Brazil when investment in science and education began to be questioned with the possibility of cutting CNPq (National Council for Scientific and Technological Development) grants.” Together with the broadcaster’s team to see first-hand the reality of young medalists in the Brazilian Public School Mathematics Olympiad (OBMEP) who were counting on a R$100 grant to continue their studies “We saw that these R$100 are a lifeline for many people who barely have enough to eat saw these scholarships as a way to help its students progress The reporter recalled that at the school of Natália Brito there were more than 120 Olympic medalists The only three doctors in the city also received scholarships from the competition throughout their training “When we hear someone from Brasília who is more technical saying that it is a matter of priority and that cutting scholarships can save the economy these scholarships are saving the economy of the interior of the country education and progress to these regions,” said Murilo Gomide highlighted the great repercussion that the story attracted contributing to avoiding the cuts in scholarships “Murilo managed to show the human dimension of journalism very well in this story starting from an individual case to the collective and showing the social impact that a public policy decision has on people’s lives,” he assessed Gabriel Alves, from Folha de S.Paulo, shared the experience of following the progress of 4th and 5th grade students at Escola Estadual Henrique Dumont Villares, in Cotia, São Paulo, in the face of a new mathematical approach, more creative, open and visual. report that came in 3rd place in the award showed that one year after adopting the new way of teaching the subject 51% of third-year elementary school students had performance considered advanced in Saresp (School Performance Assessment System of the State of São Paulo) Gabriel explained what caught his attention in the approach developed at Stanford University and applied in Brazil by the Mathematical Mindsets Program “It was a particularly collaborative class I saw that all the students were disciplined which was very different from the chaos I imagined in a 4th and 5th grade elementary school I noticed that mistakes lost their negative stigma and became a kind of ladder for learning,” he said Viana praised the quality of the works presented “The objective of the award is to encourage the presence of scientific knowledge in the mainstream media which is our best instrument for reaching society as a whole And your contribution is a beautiful example of how this can be done by highlighting all dimensions of science: its social importance its human importance for the development of society and the country Next Thursday (19), it will be the turn of the winners in the “Scientific Dissemination” category Jorge Pontual, Carolina Oddone, Guilherme Eler and Marília Marasciulo to detail the award-winning reports in a webinar with Helena Nader, vice-president of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences (ABC), and journalist Sabine Righetti.

A little more than half of the players who have earned the Smith Cup were recognized for both their ability to pitch and hit and Felci is the newest member of that illustrious list she turned in

how she’ll finish her career Felci is champing at the bit for the 2024 season it’s my senior year and I want it to be a big year acknowledging the disappointment of losing in last season’s CHSAA

suspension of Ms Leleivyte remains in force until a hearing panel convened by the Lithuanian Cycling Federation determines whether she has committed an anti-doping rule violation under Article 21 of the UCI Anti-Doping Rules," the UCI statement read. Leleivyte, who turns 24 this week, was set to take part in the 2012 Olympic Games in London as part of Lithuania's road cycling team. She can now either accept a ban, thereby sacrificing her place in the Games and her results from June 12 onward, which include a 13th place overall at the Giro Donne, or request a B-sample analysis. In 2011, Leleivyte was the Lithuanian national champion and placed ninth in the world championship road race. She was eighth the year before in the Geelong worlds and won a stage and took third overall at the 2010 Ladies Tour of Qatar. but have responded to the rulings on social media.Michael Schar of AG2R-Citroen objected to being disqualified for throwing a bidon to a spectator during the Tour of Flanders Schär disqualified from Tour of Flanders as new UCI rules come into play Asgreen stuns van der Poel to win Tour of Flanders Early disqualifications at Tour of Flanders Giro d’Italia and Vuelta a España.Get the latest with our sport podcasts on your favourite podcast apps.Watch on SBS SportSport News Marianne Vos (Nederland Bloeit) crushed the third stage to Fermo(Image credit: Giro Donne)Best young rider is Rasa Leleivyte (Vaiano-Solaritech)(Image credit: CJ Farquharson/WomensCycling.net)Best Italian(Image credit: CJ Farquharson/WomensCycling.net)Fermo is the hometown for Marina Romili she was greeted warmly by the peloton and presented with a maglia rosa on the podium(Image credit: CJ Farquharson/WomensCycling.net)Shara Gillow lines up in the maglia rosa with her Bizkaia -
