Sophomore crew member becomes row model to his former team
Courtesy of Ithaca Athletics Department
Ithaca College sophomore crew member Jake Lentz decided to take the fall semester off to focus on his sport, but this time it is as a coach, not an athlete.
By Matt Vander Plaat — Staff Writer
Sophomore rower Jake Lentz is spending his fall semester a little differently than most Ithaca College students. Instead of taking part in class on Zoom, he spends his mornings riding a boat along the Barrington River in his hometown of Barrington, Rhode Island, coaching crew with the East Bay Rowing club. The COVID-19 pandemic opened the door to participate in the sport he loves from a completely different lens.
When the summer concluded and the college went online for Fall 2020, Lentz began to weigh his options. After spending the summer as an assistant at East Bay Rowing — the club he rowed for in high school — working with adults who were trying crew for the first time, Lentz was offered a job for the fall as the head coach of the novice rowing team, as well as an assistant to the East Bay varsity rowing team.
The club offers a junior crew program for students age 13 and up and adult rowing programs for those over 21. Both the novice and varsity teams are for high school students. Lentz said different factors played into his decision to take the semester off to coach.
"The biggest driving factor for me was that we had a book club with the Ithaca crew team," Lentz said. "We read a book [called 'Wanted: Rowing Coach' by Brad Lewis] on coaching, and I started to see that aligning more in my future. Then, as Ithaca was making their decision, Deb Sullivan, the director of rowing [at East Bay Rowing club], said she would love to have me on the coaching staff, so I thought staying home to do that wouldn't be the worst thing ever."
Sullivan said that Lentz returning for the fall greatly benefits East Bay Rowing.
"He is a fantastic role model," Sullivan said. "He works hard with a fabulous sense of humor, and he has established the line between coach and athlete. The rowers we have absolutely love him, and he's a phenomenal coach, so it was kind of a no–brainer."
Ithaca College senior rower Ethan Maines also noted Lentz's work ethic and humor. He said that Lentz brings a strong balance of the two traits for the Bombers along with being a great athlete.
"He is one of the best combinations on our team of both hardworking and able to joke around and lighten things up when needed," Maines said. "In addition to being great personalitywise, he is also one of the strongest and fastest athletes on the team."
Lentz said he has a hectic schedule to manage because he has to work with rowers of different skill levels, talk to parents about what he is teaching and develop training programs. Between the novice and varsity teams, Lentz coaches 28 athletes.
His team is in the water rowing two days a week and doing land training twice a week. Land training days are conditioning days that usually entail cardio or high–intensity interval training workouts. Lentz said that on these days, he tries to incorporate some socially distanced competition. Training on the water also looks different than usual because of COVID-19. The team is split into smaller groups, and they row in single or double boats rather than the typical eight–person boat.
Lentz said he uses techniques he learns from being on the college's crew team and applies it to his coaching. He uses drills and workouts that the Bombers use in his practice plans, which he said makes it easier for him to explain to his athletes because he has already done them. Sullivan said she expects him to use the workouts that he has learned in college to help to push the rowers.
Lentz said that being able to coach crew allows him to learn lessons that he would not get from an athlete's perspective.
"I've definitely learned about being prepared and transparent," Lentz said. "Also being a leader and learning how to be a teacher because you have to make sure that you're more than a coach and able to help the rowers with advice outside of rowing."
David McMillan, senior captain of the East Bay Rowing club team, said Lentz brings a different dynamic than other coaches.
"He brings a more relatable coach to the team," McMillan said. "Most of the coaches are older into adulthood, but, with him still being in college and from our team, it shows the guys that if you keep working hard and rowing well, you will have a chance to row in college like he does."
McMillan was a sophomore on the East Bay Rowing team when Lentz was a senior in high school. Lentz said that as a senior on the team, he took McMillan under his wing and even gave him a nickname, "Dirty Dave."
McMillan said that Lentz uses his experience as a rower to lead the team as a coach. He said Lentz focuses on every team member to ensure that they are getting better.
"Jake's leadership style is definitely vocal," McMillan said. "He's really good at making sure everyone is doing exactly what they're supposed to be doing and making sure that they're doing whatever it is exactly how he would do it. He's quick to correct someone but never in a way that is harsh or aggressive."
Lentz said that he plans to return to the college in the spring if classes are in person. He said he knows he needs to take advantage of this opportunity to coach at such a young age.
"After I finish my rowing career at Ithaca, I want to stay in the rowing world," Lentz said. "I want to hopefully do some post-collegiate rowing and then get into coaching. I'm hoping this experience that I have now will give me a jump–start into coaching after college."

Eat your heart out Frank Sinatra! Check out those blue eyes!
I made these at our Knitting Guild's annual Day Camp. This was our 3rd Annual. I am proud to say I helped start the tradition of these 2 years ago. This year the theme was "Monsters". We made these toys to donate to the local Children's Hospital for kids going into surgery. Everyone made theirs different. We used Berrocco Comfort Worsted and I used safety eyes. I crocheted the eye patch and the white circle for the ogre. I followed the pattern on the Pirate but found picking up stitches to be a bit fiddley. So I just reversed the 1st half by starting with a small cast on of 6 stitches and increased in an opposite way until I got to the part of the picked-up stitches and then just continued with the pattern from there. It was really interesting to see all the sizes that came out with the same pattern and yarn but different knitters and needle sizes. I made these for BWM (DGS) and plan to make more to donate. We got super fun goodie bags and lots of good company at the KNOW (Knit at Night Out West) Daycamp. Can't wait to see next year's theme!


Escape Room, but what is that?
This is my blog to show the process and give a behind the scenes look at Inbetween Realities.
Inbetween Realities is a project merging Escape Rooms and Augmented Reality together!
You lost me at Escape Room.
Escape rooms are amazing. You get locked in a room with a group of your friends/family and have an hour to solve puzzles/challenges to escape.
I'm taking that one step further, and integrating Augmented Reality (AR) into the experience.
AR Headsets overlay graphics onto the real world. So you still see and interact with your friends and space around you, but you can also see extra graphics added in.
You might look down the street and see Godzilla crossing the road.
Or you might open the fridge and see a Gremlin.
But it's a lot cooler if the AR could react to what you do.
What if you could throw a tennis ball, and Godzilla chased after it wagging his destructive tail?
What if the gremlin got into the fridge because you left a trail of food luring him to a chilly trap?
At the moment that's very hard to achieve, but in a curated space like an escape room, we can get a lot closer.
This blog will also show some of what it is like to quit your job and become a creator.
It'll show what it's like opening a small business that's never been done before.
And it'll show lessons learned for creating location-based AR experiences.
So subscribe and come along for the ride!

People aged over 18 to be offered Covid-19 booster vaccine
All people aged over 18 to be offered Covid-19 booster jab
By Bill Edgar BillEdgarNews Live Reporter (Darlington)
ALL people aged 18 and over are to be offered a Covid-19 booster vaccine as part of efforts to tackle the spread of the new Omicron variant.
Millions more people in the UK will become eligible for a third booster dose after early evidence suggested that higher antibody levels may protect better against the variant.
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) is now advising that all adults aged 18 to 39 should be offered a booster dose, in order of descending age groups, to increase their level of protection.
Those aged 40 and over are already eligible for a booster vaccine.

Booster doses should be given no sooner than three months after people have had their second dose of an original vaccine – shaving three months off the current six-month wait, according to the JCVI.
In further advice, young people aged 12 to 15 should be offered a second dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine, no sooner than 12 weeks after their first dose.
The JCVI also said that severely immunosuppressed people should be offered a booster dose no sooner than three months after completing their primary course of three doses.
Professor Wei Shen Lim, chair of the JCVI said: "Having a booster dose of the vaccine will help to increase our level of protection against the Omicron variant.
"This is an important way for us to reduce the impact of this variant on our lives, especially in the coming months.
"If you are eligible for a booster, please take up the offer and keep yourself protected as we head into winter."
The JCVI said that both the Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines can be given as a booster for adults – with equal preference given to both.
Experts believe the new Omicron variant could reduce the effectiveness of vaccines in stopping people getting infected, though they think vaccines may still protect against severe disease.
However, it could be three more weeks before further details emerge from scientists on how transmissible the variant is, whether it evades vaccine protection and whether it causes more severe disease.

On Monday afternoon, health ministers from the G7 group of nations are holding an urgent meeting to discuss the impact of the new Omicron variant.
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), preliminary evidence suggests Omicron carries a higher risk of reinfection.
The UK now has nine confirmed cases of the variant after the Scottish government announced on Monday morning it had discovered four cases in Lanarkshire and two in the Greater Glasgow and Clyde area.
One other case has been identified in Brentwood, Essex, with another in Nottingham, while a third case was detected in England on Sunday in a person with travel links to southern Africa who visited Westminster before leaving the country.
Scotland's Deputy First Minister John Swinney said that some of the Omicron variant cases identified in Scotland have no travel history, which suggests there is a degree of community transmission.
From Tuesday, the wearing of face masks is set to be compulsory in shops and on public transport, while PCR tests will be brought back in for travellers returning to the UK.

June 30 is the last day for Gordon Illg's term as NANPA's 25th president and when the board terms for Sean Fitzgerald and Ted Moreno end.
If there was a prize for the most meetings presided over, Gordon definitely qualifies! In the last twelve months, Gordon led twelve teleconference board meetings, three teleconference executive committee meetings, two in-person multi-day board meetings, and the NANPA Business meeting held at the 2019 Summit in Las Vegas. Not to mention, he participated in almost weekly meetings with me plus dozens of committee and planning meetings in the past year. Gordon has been great to work with, and even though he travels a lot for his workshop business, he was always available to answer questions and kept in regular contact with me. Gordon will continue his board service to NANPA as Past President for another year—where he'll still get to attend plenty of meetings (but won't have to lead them!)

Google Images Adds Image Rights Metadata
October 5, 2018 by Blog Poster
Google Images will now include IPTC creator, credit and copyright information . . . if you have it in the image file. In Lightroom, Bridge and other software, you can apply IPTC metadata with presets.
In late September, Google announced that, in a major update to Google Images, it would be adding "rights-related meta data," where available, to photos. Collaborating with CEPIC, a coordinating body of stock and news agencies, museums, libraries and art galleries, and IPTC, the "global standards body of the news media," Google designed a way to access the Creator and Credit metadata for photos. That is, assuming you've included the metadata in your original upload. Google will also be adding copyright notices in the near future.

The Houston Maritime Museum has educated and entertained visitors for fourteen years with the mission "To capture and preserve the wonder and influence of maritime history and the marine industry with focus on the development of Houston, the Texas Gulf Coast, and the State of Texas." Located on the outskirts of the Museum District, the museum has eight galleries filled with model ships, images, and artifacts that trace maritime navigation from the Bronze Age to the present. The collection is so extensive that the museum has outgrown its space and has plans to move to a larger site along the Houston Ship Channel, a fitting place for visitors to discover the wonder and influence of the maritime world.
Even though Houston became one of the world's largest ports during the twentieth century, the maritime industry was not represented among local museums. Established in 2000, the Houston Maritime Museum (HMM) was an extension of founder James "Jim" L. Manzolillo's unique experiences, personality, and lifelong association with the ocean. As a naval architect, Manzolillo traveled extensively, collecting artifacts from around the world. He eventually decided to share them with the public, and Houston offered a logical place to do that. Hence, Manzolillo began channeling his resources to create a museum to engage people of all ages in the history of ships and sea exploration.
Master modeler Ronald Roberti's exquisitely detailed model of the USS Confederacy illustrates how eighteenth-century shipwrights documented all the details of a proposed ship's designs for approval before Computer Aided Design (CAD) or even much skill in drawing flat representations of compound ship hull curves.

Gas, groceries, restaurants and hotels are available in this quaint river town. Head northeast over Triangle Pass and Trail Peak on gravel and dirt roads through the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. On a clear day, you will be treated to views of three volcanoes: Mount Hood, Mount Adams and the infamous Mount Saint Helens; which had a devastating eruption on May 18, 1980. Created by a lava flow over 20,000 years ago, The Guler Ice Caves are worth the time to see and is the ideal spot for a trailside lunch. The route continues over Trout Lake Creek, Takh-Takh Meadows, and then down to Highway 12 arriving at Packwood where gas, hotels, restaurants and groceries are available.
Heading east from Packwood, you will cross over White Pass and skirt Rimrock Lake before turning north onto gravel roads leading to Bethel Ridge. Stunning mountain views including Mount Rainier and Mount Adams can be seen from a basalt ridge that drops off sharply to the Tieton River Valley below. After a rugged section of rutted roads along the ridge, a long descent brings you to Highway 410 near the small town of Nile where you can grab lunch. Next, you head over Cleman Mountain (nicknamed Babyhead Hill), passing through the Oak Creek Wildlife Area and then down Evans Canyon. Or, you can take a detour around to Wenas Road where you will then rejoin the more challenging riding as you are led to a steep dirt road that winds up and over the rocky, treeless Umtanum Ridge. After descending the historic Old Durr Road, there is a small water crossing at Umtanum Creek and a section of asphalt running into the college farm town of Ellensburg its full services.
Paved roads head north from Ellensburg toward Table Mountain and Lion Rock Lookout in Wenatchee National Forest. High elevation and twisty dirt roads with views of the Central Cascade Mountains make this a very enjoyable section. From Lion Rock to Beehive Reservoir the route is stunning, rugged and remote. The path at 6,000 feet along Table Mountain provides views to the west. Elk can often be seen in the beautiful Haney Meadow. From there the road traverses a ridgeline with spectacular views of Devil's Gulch and the Columbia River to the North. The route passes nearby Beehive Reservoir before descending the Mission Creek Valley to the town of Cashmere which has gas, groceries, restaurants and hotels.
Heading north up Nahahum (pronounced Nah-Hum) Canyon from Cashmere brings you to a 360-degree view atop Chumstick Peak at 5,810 feet elevation. The route winds up and over Roaring Ridge in the Entiat Mountains before descending steep switchbacks to the one-store town of Ardenvoir which has a small cafe, gas and basic rations. The next 30 miles have a gain of over 4,000 feet as riders climb McKenzie Ridge and the Chelan Mountains. Views of Lake Chelan can be seen as you pass through the Slide Ridge area on the descent to 25 Mile Creek State Park. A pavement road follows the Southern Lake Chelan shoreline east to the full-service town of Chelan.
Head north from Lake Chelan past the Echo Valley Ski Area toward Cooper Mountain, a 5,867 foot summit with stunning views. The route then passes Black Canyon Creek and skirts Fox Peak before descending the Gold Creek Valley to the Methow River and Highway 153. Heading north on Highway 153, you will pass the one-store town and gas pump in Carlton before heading east on Benson Creek Road. The path heads up past Thrapp Mountain and Woody Mountain before dropping down into the valley to Highway 20. After a short highway section, you will head north on scenic Loup Loup Canyon Road in the Loup Loup State Forest. The steep Ruby Grade descends toward a site where the mining town of Ruby once existed. A sign at the site describes a bustling mining community that was the center of commerce in the Okanogan area until the market for silver collapsed in 1892. Gravel and paved roads take riders to the one-store town and gas pump in Conconully. In addition to the store, there are lakes and a state park in the area.
Your final day of riding north starts off with pavement and eventually turns to dirt again as you reach Salmon Meadows in the Okanogan National Forest. You will soon enjoy views as you climb up and over Lone Frank Pass (the highest point on the WABDR). After a short distance, the route enters Loomis State Forest and heads up the ominously named "Skull and Crossbones Road" where an old homestead cabin and corral can be seen before heading down to North Fork Toats Coulee Creek. There is a geocache near the viewpoint above Cold Springs Campground up Ninemile Creek Road. The final stretch of dirt winds down steep switchbacks into a spectacular valley just south of Palmer Lake in the Sinlahekin Valley. With the dirt and gravel behind you, pavement leads you north past Palmer Lake through the former town of Nighthawk along the Similkameen River to the Nighthawk border crossing from the US into Canada. Next you will turn south and ride along Highway 97 where you will turn west to head over the scenic Highway 20 to the remote mountain town of Winthrop.
The longest day yet but all pavement takes you over the North Cascades highway where you will eventually intercept Interstate 5. Turning south, you will head through Seattle (home of Touratech USA) on your way back to TourUSA.
With your memories sharp, its time to head home and make your friends and family jealous as you regale them with stories of your adventures.

Q: Cauchy criterion problem Suppose that $\{x_m\}$ is a sequence of positive, non-zero numbers such that $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} {x_n}$ diverges, and let $S_n = x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n$. Moreover, suppose that for all $m \geq 1$ and $n \geq 1$, $\sum_{j=1}^{n} \frac{x_{m + j}}{S_{m + j}} \geq 1 - \frac{S_m}{S_{m + n}}$. Use the Cauchy criterion to show that $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{x_n}{S_n}$ diverges.
I'm not very sure how to tackle this problem. I somewhat understand how to approach it but I'm unsure how the formal proof would look like. Any hints or assistance is much appreciated.

A: Assume that $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{x_n}{S_n}$ is convergent. Let's write out the Cauchy criterion: Let $\varepsilon>0$ be any number less than $1$ (if you want you can fix e.g. $\varepsilon=\frac{1}{2}$). Then there is some natural number $N$ such that for all $m\geq N,k\geq 1$ we have $$\sum_{j=m+1}^{k+m}\frac{x_j}{S_j}<\varepsilon$$
By shifting indices we get: $$1-\frac{S_m}{S_{m+k}}\leq\sum_{j=1}^{k}\frac{x_{j+m}}{S_{j+m}}<\varepsilon$$
Now what happens if we let $k\to\infty$?

Aberdeen Anguish
By Evil Knievil 16 February 2018

A day in the life of a fund manager: the chairman emailed early yesterday with the pithy advice that something had gone on at Aberdeen. Since he is a card-carrying, kilt-swirling Scot, I presumed that in that northern city they had run out of IrnBru. I let the matter slip.
But when the butler brought in the decanter of single malt and a copy of the Evening Standard I finally twigged. For, as readers no doubt know, Lloyds Bank are withdrawing a startling £110bn of FUM from StandardLifeAberdeen (SLA). I call that money.
The problem with fund management is that it is getting costlier to practise (think MifidII – as considered below) and outperformance – surely the purpose of the exercise – is virtually impossible. The only hope is through achieving economies of scale. Therefore kissing goodbye to c. 20% of FUM must be a very considerable blow.
It gets worse. Yesterday, I read through the latest document from Alan and Gina Miller's True and Fair campaign, which covered – all 35 pages – how MifidII is applied in practice. As readers know, I am no respecter of MifidII since the cost is outrageous, its drafting is absurd (because it lacks clarity) and it is riddled with the quite unacceptable presumption that Brussels knows best. However, it is clear that a lot of fund managers are behaving quite outrageously. They must be heading for litigation of one sort or another where they will lose and the costs will be appalling. This is not a happy prospect for the development of a business.
Finally, a few years ago, Murdoch piped up with the advice that the BBC is elitist or put another way was not infantile. Further, it was not difficult to wonder how the BBC would easily raise the licence fee. And so one toyed with the prospect of rather less of the BBC. But, as matters have now emerged, the dissolution of, say, BBC Radio 4 would be a national tragedy given that its production quality is so high. Indeed, I would cheerfully pay £500 p.a. for just Radio 4.
Yesterday evening on Radio 4 (11.00 p.m. to 11.30 p.m.) a Sarah Kendall told the story of teenage life in Australia. This was enthralling and astonishing. Wise readers can catch up. One does not often encounter quality such as this.
Two years ago , as a Swiss resident but with a UK NI number, I was able to place my Swiss pension fund lump sum into a Hargreaves Lansdown Vantage Fund and Share Account. In January I was informed that because I live outside the EEA, and therefore not entirely trustworthy, they will no longer permit any further remittances of funds into the account. If I decide to move ten miles down the road and live in Divonne Les Bains in France, or heaven forbid, move much further afield to Bucharest, all will be forgiven and I can start remitting funds again. This is madness.

So where's the evidence? Well, astronomers point towards the 'Cold Spot', a massive area in the CMB Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) which stretches a staggering BILLION light-years across.
To take a peek at this cosmic microwave background is to glimpse the primordial universe, a time when it was less than 400,000 years old.
Looking at the so-called "Cold Spot" spotted by scientists in the cosmic background radiation, scientists believe they've found 'evidence' that other universe—besides our own obviously—exist out there, and it may be evidence we are living in a MULTIVERSE.
So, the question here isn't "Are we alone in the universe" but is our universe ALONE out there? The existence of other universes changes EVERYTHING.
Ok so, let's take a minute and try to understand everything scientists are telling us.
As scientists have explained, The Cosmic Microwave Background or commonly referred to as CMB is the leftover light from the Big Bang.
The Big Bang theory is the prevailing cosmological model for the universe from the earliest known periods through its subsequent large-scale evolution. It describes how our universe expanded from a very high density and high-temperature state and offers a comprehensive explanation for a broad range of phenomena, including the abundance of light elements, the cosmic microwave background, large scale structure and Hubble's Law.
The CMB is the FURTHEST thing from us in the visible universe and it's located all around us, everywhere we look, even though we can't see it with the naked eye due to the fact it's a super low energy, as it has been there from the beginning of the universe.
For several years, scientists have studied the CMB, its temperatures, and characteristics and found something increasingly suspicious. The CMB usually has a temperature of about 2.7 Kelvin except in one specific place: The so-called COLD SPOT, an area in the universe which challenges everything scientists thought they knew about the CMB.
The peculiar temperature in the cold spot has baffled experts. Even though the temperate is only a few microkelvin lower than the remaining parts of the CMB, it is CONSTANT across the entire region—which stretches a staggering BILLION light-years across, hence why this area of the CMB challenges EVERYTHING we know about the universe.
So, how can you explain those temperature variations? Well, astronomers have come up with a number of different explanations which 'partially' explain the "Cold Spot" and why it's even there in the first place.
There are some astronomers who believe that the cold spot is there because our satellites and instruments had some errors.
However, many other experts agree that the most mind-being explanation of them all is the most likely: The Cold Spot exists in the CMB because it's exactly where ANOTHER universe bumped into ours.
Interestingly, simulations of the standard model of the universe show that the Cold Spot could not have been a random occurrence. So… if it's not a completely random occurrence, the chances are great we have found the ultimate evidence of other universes existing beside our own.


BENTONIA, Miss. (AP) — The National Weather Service confirms two tornadoes touched central Mississippi Sunday.
A survey shows a twister with top winds of 90 mph (145 kph) struck Bentonia at 1:37 a.m. Sunday. The tornado, rated EF-1 on the enhanced Fujita scale, traveled for 1.5 miles (2.5 kilometers) before lifting off. The path was as wide as 200 yards (180 meters).
The tornado damaged homes and a store, destroying several barns and sheds.
A second tornado with top winds of 75 mph (120 kph) hit near Flora. The tornado, rated EF-0, traveled for 6.4 miles (10.3 kilometers) before dissipating near Madison. The path was as wide as 150 yards (135 meters).
High winds and hail Saturday partially collapsed a Greenville nursing home's roof, with nearly 50 residents evacuated.

Disappearance of human rights defender Dr. Ernesto Sernas García
About Ernesto Sernas Garcia
On 6 November 2018, 22 members of Sol Rojo announced that they were acquitted of the charges against them after three years of a judicial process marked by irregularities. The group was legally represented by human rights defender and lawyer Dr. Ernesto Sernas García.
On 10 May 2018, human rights defender and university professor, Dr. Ernesto Sernas García disappeared in San Agustín de las Juntas, Oaxaca. His disappearance coincides with a decisive moment in a criminal procedure against 23 activists he is legally representing.
About Dr. Ernesto Sernas García
Dr. Ernesto Sernas Garcia is a Constitutional Law professor at Universidad Autónoma Benito Juárez de Oaxaca and had been legally representing 23 activists, members of Sol Rojo, a left-wing labour rights organisation, that were arbitrarily detained in 2015 and accused of terrorism and carrying explosives. Although they have been released, the criminal procedure against them is ongoing. At the time of his disappearance, Dr. Ernesto Sernas Garcia was about to submit evidence that could have proved irregular criminal procedures and human rights violations against the 23 activists.

8 November 2018 : Activists represented by disappeared human rights lawyer Ernesto Serna García acquitted
17 May 2018 : Disappearance of human rights defender Dr. Ernesto Sernas García
Activists represented by disappeared human rights lawyer Ernesto Serna García acquitted
On 6 November 2018, 22 members of Sol Rojo announced that they were acquitted of the charges against them after three years of a judicial process marked by irregularities. The group was legally represented by human rights defender and lawyer Dr. Ernesto Sernas García, who disappeared on 10 May 2018, in circumstances related to this case. His work was essential to the present outcome.
Dr. Ernesto Sernas Garcia is a Constitutional Law professor at Universidad Autónoma Benito Juárez de Oaxaca. He had been legally representing the 22 members of Sol Rojo. He disappeared on 10 May 2018, just before submitting the evidence that resulted in the acquittal of the activists.
On 6 November 2018, the 22 activists members of Sol Rojo announced that they were acquitted of the charges of terrorism and carrying of explosives filed against them on 7 June 2015, when they were arbitrarily arrested for participating in a peaceful demonstration. The criminal procedures following the arrest were marked by irregularities and human rights violations of the defendants, including reports of torture in custody. Before his disappearance, Ernesto Sernas Garcia had gathered key evidence that proved the innocence of the Sol Rojo members and demonstrated the pattern of criminalisation against them.
On 28 September 2018, the United Nations Committee on Enforced Disappearances (CED) issued an urgent action to the Mexican State on the disappearance of Ernesto Sernas Garcia, urging the Mexican authorities to carry out a thorough investigation. The CED also requested protection measures for Ernesto Sernas Garcia's family and for members of Sol Rojo. Up to date, the defender's family has not received information regarding progress in the investigation into his disappearance from the Mexican authorities
View the Urgent Appeal
Local human rights organisations have criticised the government for its lack of a meaningful response to Dr. Ernesto Sernas Garcia's disappearance. The government has not informed Dr. Ernesto Sernas Garcia's family about having opened an investigation and has not publicly addressed the disappearance.
The lack of effective investigations into attacks against human rights defenders, and the failure to sanction the perpetrators and provide adequate protection has generated a climate of impunity that prevents human rights work and provides an opportunity for attacks to be carried out.
According to reports provided by local organisations, Oaxaca is the second most dangerous state to carry out human rights work, and responsible for almost 60% of all recorded attacks against women human rights defenders in Mexico. So far in 2018, there have been at least 28 attacks against human rights defenders in Oaxaca, including three killings of indigenous defenders.
Front Line Defenders is concerned about the disappearance of Dr. Ernesto Sernas García, as it believes his disappearance is linked to his legitimate human rights activities. Front Line Defenders expresses further concern at the climate of impunity and the lack of a safe environment for human rights defenders in Mexico.

With the recent passing of the Right to Try Act, which gives terminally ill patients access to experimental treatments that have not yet been approved by the FDA, it may be important to understand if and how this impacts the benefits you currently offer your employees. The first thing to know is that Right to Try does not mandate or require insurance coverage of experimental drugs, nor of their potential side effects. Another thing you may not know is that while experimental drugs were previously available under Right to Try legislation in 38 states, only one patient has taken advantage of the benefit.
According to the Self Insurance Institute of America, it is important for those with self-funded plans to review how the plan document treats access and payment of experimental drugs. It is also important to determine how your plan currently covers experimental drug treatments and side effects under the FDA Expanded Access program. Finally, we recommend having a conversation with your TPA to identify not only any potential compliance issues that may exist within your current plan, but how your company would like to treat Right to Try related expenses going forward.

Oppo A7 vs Vivo Y95 vs Vivo V9 Pro: Price in India, Specifications, Features Compared
Confused between the latest Oppo A7, Vivo Y95 and Vivo V9 Pro? In this blog post, we're comparing these three smartphones in brief.
Amit Dua
Published On: Nov 27, 2018 | Last Updated: Nov 27, 2018
Vivo recently launched a new budget smartphone dubbed Vivo Y95 in the Indian market. The device comes with a water-drop notch, gradient back and somewhat decent specifications. In terms of pricing, the device directly competes with the previously launched Oppo A7 and Vivo V9 Pro. While all three smartphones share similar specifications and design, the phones are fundamentally different. In this blog post, we're comparing the latest Vivo Y95 to Oppo A7 and Vivo V9 Pro.
Oppo A7 vs Vivo Y95 vs Vivo V9 Pro: Build, Display
The Oppo A7 comes with a large 6.2-inch IPS LCD display with 720 x 1520 pixels resolution, 19:9 aspect ratio and 271 ppi pixel density. The device boasts a screen-to-body-ratio of 81.6 percent thanks to the water-drop notch and thin bezels. For an added protection, the device comes with a Corning Gorilla Glass 3.
Vivo Y95 also share similar design ideology with a tear-drop notch on the front and a gradient back giving it a premium look. It also features a large 6.2-inch IPS LCD display with 720 x 1520 pixels resolution, 19:9 aspect ratio and 270 ppi pixel density. The Y95 has a screen-to-body-ratio of 82.9 percent.
Vivo V9 Pro, on the other hand, features a traditional notch and looks like any other budget device. It sports a 6.3-inch IPS LCD display with 1080 x 2280 pixels resolution, 19:9 aspect ratio and 400 ppi pixel density. The device has a screen-to-body ratio of 84.9 percent.
Clearly, Vivo V9 Pro takes a lead owing to higher resolution, pixels density and surprisingly higher screen-to-body ratio. If you care about design more, then Oppo A7 and Vivo Y95 might interest you.
Oppo A7 vs Vivo Y95 vs Vivo V9 Pro: Hardware, Performance
The Oppo A7 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 chipset paired with 3/4GB of RAM and 32/64GB onboard memory. The Snapdragon 450 is an octa-core processor clocked at 1.8GHz and fabricated over the 14nm manufacturing process.
The Vivo Y95 runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 439 octa-core processor paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The Snapdragon 439, on the other hand, is made over the 12nm process but has a lower clock speed.
Vivo V9 Pro packs a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset paired with 6GB of RAM. The Snapdragon 660 is made over the 14nm manufacturing process. It has a 12.2% faster clock speed than the Snapdragon 450.
If you're looking for a powerful smartphone which can handle heavy tasks with ease, the Vivo V9 Pro would be a much better choice since it has a higher RAM capacity and comes with a powerful chipset.
Oppo A7 vs Vivo Y95 vs Vivo V9 Pro: Camera Setup
Oppo A7 has a dual camera setup with 13MP (f/2.2 aperture) primary sensor and a 2MP (f/2.4 aperture) secondary sensor. For selfies, the device has a 16MP snapper with f/2.0 aperture.
Vivo Y95 has the same dual rear camera as that of Oppo A7. It also features 13MP and 2MP sensor with even same aperture. The front of the device, on the other hand, has a 20MP selfie shooter with f/2.0 aperture.
Surprisingly, Vivo V9 Pro also features the same 13MP+2MP dual camera setup at the back but with an aperture of f/2.0. It has a 16MP selfie shooter again with f/2.0 aperture.
While all three smartphones flaunt the same rear camera setup, you might be able to get a little bit better performance on Vivo V9 Pro. Although the difference will not be that big of a deal. As far as the selfies are concerned, Vivo Y95 has clearly taken the edge with its high 20MP sensor.
Oppo A7 vs Vivo Y95 vs Vivo V9 Pro: Battery, Software
The Oppo A7 is fueled by a large 4,230mAh battery and runs on the latest version of its Color OS 5.2 on top of Android 8.1 Oreo. Vivo Y95 is powered by a 4,030mAh battery and runs on the latest version of its FunTouch OS 4.5 on top of Android 8.1 Oreo. The Vivo V9 Pro, on the other hand, has a smaller 3,260mAh battery with same software configuration as that of Vivo Y95.
Oppo A7 vs Vivo Y95 vs Vivo V9 Pro: Price In India
Oppo A7 is available on both the popular e-commerce Flipkart and Amazon for a price tag of INR 16,990. It comes in two colour variants: Glaring Gold and Glaze Blue. At the time of writing this post, the device is available with 5% discount offer on HDFC cards. Vivo Y95 also comes with the same price tag of INR 16,990 and also comes in two colour variant: Starry Night and Nebula Purple. Vivo V9 Pro, on the other hand, will set you back a tad higher INR 17,990. But for that extra INR 1,000, you're getting a powerful processor, 6GB of RAM and overall decent specifications.
Oppo A7 vs Vivo Y95 vs Vivo V9 Pro: Verdict
Both Oppo A7 and Vivo Y95 share similar design ideology, similar specifications and even the same price tag. They both have a tear-drop notch, fewer bezels and looks somewhat premium. Even though Vivo V9 Pro is not the latest device, it still manages to beat the other two in terms of performance. When it comes to price for value among these three devices, Vivo V9 Pro seems like a better option.

'Being in Beta' is the title we have given to this series of publications following our inaugural launch in 2017. 'Beta' is a term used for products that are released and tested in order to learn and improve upon. In our case, it refers to the continual culture of learning, and openness.
We live in an unprecedented era. The world is becoming smaller and more accessible. But our experiences of it are being filtered through a smartphone device. Our minds are bombarded with data, and due to our busy lives, we revert to binary and polarised thinking - believing any information thrown at us. Wedon't have time for meaningful critique, nor the willingness to question fundamental assumptions around topics of interest.
This third publication in the series is entitled Tipping Points. We chose Tipping Points as the title because it exemplifies the enormous effort required to reach the point where the balance of public discourse begins to tip and where one starts to make a real difference with their writing.
"Decolonising Identity: Why it is essential to survive in a post-colonial world"
"Dissecting Ayurveda: Is its practice legitimate in the UK?"
"Mending Broken Politics: Can We Govern Society Without An Ideology?"
"Women, Tradition and India: Caught In The Cross-Fire In A War Of Narratives"

Today we are directed toward our inner power. It's a day to go inside and become very aware of your personal energetic resources and where they are being used. Focus your center of concentration (locus of control) on the inside of yourself, not on the outer world and watch how things are moving around.
Mars makes a square to Pluto today. This energy is in conlict. Mars wants to move forward and Pluto wants to take down. Oftentimes this brings emotional confusion and a layer of depression. We are less likely to spiral into confusion if we pull in our power and settle it inside instead of trying to make strides. Practice the technique of the wise owl in the tree and huddle back to the stance of observer.

Turkey boss defends his company
15 February 2007, at 10:08am
UK - Food company boss Bernard Matthews has defended his firm following an outbreak of bird flu at one of his farms.
Writing in the Daily Mirror, he denied there had been any cover-up of the farm's links to Hungary, where the same strain of bird flu was found in geese.
Speaking for the first time since the crisis in Suffolk began, he said allegations that information may have been withheld were "completely untrue".
The H5N1 strain of bird flu was found at the Holton plant on 3 February.
Scientists have said the strain of H5N1 bird flu at Holton and that which infected geese in Hungary were "essentially identical".
Mr Matthews said: "I'm sorry for any confusion but this has not been of our making.
"There has been absolutely no cover-up at our end. I've been upset about allegations that we may have withheld information. That is completely untrue.

The snow has given us a bright scenic view from our windows here in our secluded bush. The children love singing their Christmas carols. Soon it'll be time to get our tree.
Last year's tree will not soon be forgotten. It was a prize winner tree. Enthusiastically it was placed on a round coffee table, in front of a window.
We don't have a lot of treasures in our house; our true treasures are crowded around our table. But we did have a set of antique Christmas bulbs that had been given to us years ago by my great aunt and uncle. They had meticulously taken the utmost care of their beautiful ornaments, and they were still wrapped in their original tissue and boxes. We hadn't used them while the children were small. My husband Dave suggested the children were big enough now.
Carefully every decoration was hung, along with gingerbread men, and we had a wonderful time. The children were quietly playing, and reading, when we heard "CRASH"! We all came running. There in a heap lay a very overwhelming disaster! Coloured pieces of glass and gingerbread everywhere! Poor five-year-old Joel burst into tears, somehow expressing the helplessness we all felt.
Thinking now more of him than the tree, we stopped and prayed, "Father, thank you none of the children were hurt. Thank you even in our disappointments, you are with us." Then we tried to figure out how, or where to start cleaning up. Dave lifted the tree upright. As he lifted it, more and more bulbs dropped! We had used a different tree stand, apparently not as secure as usual!
Later that day I was on my way to pick up our Christmas cards from the printer. I knew it would be one of my last times driving, as I am losing my sight. As I reflected on our initially beautiful tree, it occurred to me that in our lives there are so many beautiful dreams and goals that are just like those antique bulbs we can't replace. None of them are wrong in and of themselves, but we all have times when our world comes crashing down with no warning! There are changes, adjustments, or an ending in an area of our lives we didn't expect. All of those thoughts were rolling through my mind. Then I came to a wonderful realization: even if everything in my life falls, and breaks, as long as I stand on the Rock, instead of the sinking sand, I'll make it''.
Jesus said, "I will never leave you or forsake you" (Heb. 13:5). We have a Heavenly Father who loves us, who knows how many hairs are on our heads (Matt. 10:30). We are safe with him as our Shepherd, no matter what happens in our lives. This revelation has helped me SO much in the past year. There have been many victories, and side by side, many hardships where "bulbs have shattered"! How wonderful to focus on Christmas, and remember, Christ was born, because of LOVE!
Update: This article was written last year and it has now been two years since I have driven. My eye specialist had said not to even think about eye surgery because I am high risk. I could not see my whole kitchen table any more and daily functioning was becoming increasingly more difficult. This fall the specialist said I didn't have much to lose and on Nov 29, the operation was performed. Never in my wildest imagination did I ever dream I would drive again. The surgery was a wonderful success and I now have 20/20 vision in one eye. My other eye is also scheduled to be operated on.
I will never forget the day the tree fell over and the wonderful lessons I learned. There really can be peace in the storms of life. I can't wait to put my bulbs on the tree this year and SEE them.

Q: Why does auth.log warn of a possible break in attempt? I have a server which receives backups from a remote server via rsync authenticated by ssh-keys. The rsync comes via a ddns URL, to a high numbered forwarded port.
The sending server is on a normal home internet line, fow which the ISP assigns a dynamic IP. The IP of the sending connection changed about a week ago, and since then, /var/log/auth.log has contained the following message every time the ssh connection is initiated. I've checked that the new IP address does belong to the site where the sending server is located.
Apr 11 08:30:15 someserver sshd[25447]: reverse mapping checking getaddrinfo for hostXXX-XXX-XXX-XXX.some.isp-name.com [XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX] failed - POSSIBLE BREAK IN ATTEMPT!

What's causing this warning, and is there anything I could/should have done to avoid it?

A: The comment in the code explains it well:
/*
 * Map it back to an IP address and check that the given
 * address actually is an address of this host.  This is
 * necessary because anyone with access to a name server can
 * define arbitrary names for an IP address. Mapping from
 * name to IP address can be trusted better (but can still be
 * fooled if the intruder has access to the name server of
 * the domain).
 */

Basically as descrbed in the comments. This is significant thread if you have access based on source IP (HostBased authentication). It is less significant if you have some filtering or so.
If you don't like this error, you can always use UseDNS no in your sshd_config and this message should go away.


The MTi 1-series, MTi 10-series, MTi 100-series and MTi-G-710 are 3-D orientation sensors that are used in various applications. Typical use of the Motion Trackers (MTs) is in industrial applications such as measurement and correction, control and stabilization, or navigation.
The interfaces are USB, but serial interfaces (RS232, RS485, RS422) are implemented for the encased MTis. The MTi 1-series also supports I2C and SPI.
With Xsens software development kits, you can integrate Xsens MTs in any system or OEM application. Product-specific kits provide a COM interface that is easily accessed in MATLAB® (version 6.5 and higher), making real-time data access simple. Sample MATLAB code is included that demonstrate how to access the COM interface and how to use the MTs.


Smart thermostats are just one of the many elements of a smart home—one in which lighting, heating, and electronics are controlled remotely from one central "hub." A home automation device, the smart thermostat allows its users to control a home's heating, program temperatures according to a schedule, and adjust settings. Best of all, these functions may be performed remotely, because smart thermostats connect wirelessly.
In an automated home, the smart thermostat has three functions: to pare down power usage, to keep the residents comfortable, and to learn and predict resident preferences and routines. From there, the choices are seemingly endless—the most sophisticated smart thermostats begin "learning" their users' behavior as soon as they're installed and powered on to adjust to your everyday schedule.
Investing in a smart home—and a smart thermostat—makes sense for a number of reasons. First of all, smart thermostats ensure energy savings, because they make it easier, simpler, and more intuitive to turn off heat in an empty house, for example—even from afar. According to a 2004 EPA study, homes with simple thermostats boost better energy savings than those with programmable thermostats, probably due to consumer confusion about how to program and reset.
Enter the smart thermostat: streamlined, simple, intuitive, and connected. Companies like RCS, Honeywell, Linear, and Trane are producing lightweight, easily-programmable thermostats that connect seamlessly to your smart home network. And Z-Wave home automation technology systems, for example, are compatible with most smart thermostats, making setup and everyday use a breeze.
Once you begin to explore the world of smart thermostats, you'll be amazed at how far technology has come. The Allure Eversense, for example, combines heating technology with speakers and screens, turning off the heat or AC when a user leaves the room, then restarting it when the room is occupied again. And the Honeywell Lyric monitors temperature while also taking into account humidity, understanding intrinsically that a muggy 72 degrees is not the same as a "dry" 72.


> The SA native and communications coordinator for Equality Texas is a longtime equality advocate — a label that's exceptionally broad, but still doesn't quite capture the breadth of causes Cuellar supports. Cuellar's a practical communicator, organizer and clear thinker in a time when there are too few of them. And, at a time when polarization is the principal hallmark of public discourse, Cuellar gets her point across without being unnecessarily abrasive or obtuse. She's out to win, to make San Antonio a better and more equitable place for the LGBT community, women, underprivileged kids — anyone whose voice might be marginalized or doesn't get a fair shake — and she's smart about how she goes about it. Cuellar is also at the forefront of bridging the digital divide in San Antonio, both by working toward an open and fair internet for everyone and by ensuring that the web — just like water, electricity and other necessary utilities — is accessible to people all over the city. As tech companies concentrate in San Antonio — and as Google Fiber lays out thousands of miles of fiber optic cable throughout the city — voices like Cuellar's will become even more important to make sure that folks in digital deserts aren't left even further behind.


There's something just so right about a beefy engine in a tiny car. The Abarth 595 models take that formula and really amp up the details. Whether you choose the Turismo or the Competizione models, you get a 1.4-litre T-Jet turbo engine driving the front wheels in a lightweight body that spells fun with a huge F. There's now also a track-tailored Trofeo model too.


I was going to screenshot the relevant <10 seconds or so of that video, but if I have to sit through the whole slideshow then everyone else can too.
Yes... landscaping. Will definitely do another shot when that happens, I just won't do it weekly unless there are noticeable changes. Which is why I included it this week - first hill visible and the supports are now fully and finally in place; having been concreted/grouted in place.
From those distant shots the lift hill angle really shows the point of connect well on Rivals peak height and first drop. Looking great!
Used JWorld's photo to project an estimation of the finished height, please excuse my MS Paint skills.
I would've liked to seen a tower here.
Yeah... still perplexed by that mess @Skeeta. It's like someone wanted the minimal aesthetics of a-frame supports despite it not being possible from an engineering standpoint.
A tower centered around the highest point, with the track hanging out from it so as to appear even less supported would have been a more sensible approach you would have thought.
I know it's ugly as sin, but i feel like these supports are far easier to construct and install than a giant tower.
personally i think it would have looked better, i'm not against the idea, but that's my 2c.
Glad it's not just me who thinks this. The ride will be awesome and no one goes on a coaster for the supports, but my god that first drop in it's incomplete state looks ugly.
Grabbed some quick pics on the way home.
Ignore this, photos already posted.
If you look at some of the previous lift hill photos, the lift hill supports connect to the track at a 90˚ angle.
The supports there right now might look ugly, but once the entire thing is built, everyone will be looking at the top of the drop and that joker face, not the mess of supports halfway down.
I know sometimes people post things up quickly, but its great to come into this thread and not view the same photo from a slightly different angle 12 different times, just so everyone who took a photo of the same thing got to post it.
This has to be one of the most photographed rides in history and it's not even running yet - so thanks for being considerate!
@AlexB You got it wrong. He never posted a photo in the first place.


Posts this time of year generally revolve around release announcements. As I've said before, I don't want to clutter this blog with news since, let's face it, that's not why anyone comes here. But there are generally some buzzworthy announcements made at the year's end, some from artists that I blog about.
Speaking of this year nearing extinction: I've been putting a bit of thought into how I'll be able to summarize "2010 in music". I'm at a loss for a specific adjective--my interests have been all over the place, it seems--but one description that's crossed my mind is "The Year I Realized I Was Too Old To Like Every New Trend In Music." I specifically think of chillwave--quasi-electronica borne out of the bedrooms of iMac producers--that was a force this year. In fact, "chill" would seems to be a descriptor of all the hip sounds these days, whether they're actually chillwave or just spacey indie folk or hipster post-punk, and so on. The "chill" aesthetic is in. At any rate, I can take or leave a lot of it, specifically chillwave. It isn't exactly wheelhouse music for me (let's not forget I've done features about Uncle Tupelo and Tom Waits this year) but I couldn't ignore the fact that a few of the biggest buzzmakers were regionally relevant.
Most notably, I direct your attention to Chaz Bundick, aka Toro y Moi. A fellow USC grad with whom I share a lot of mutual friends (ATTN: I have namedropped a celebrity with whom I am vaguely associated--at this time we ask that you be awestruck. Thank you - MGMT [not the band]), Chaz's project has exploded to international acclaim. It blows my mind that this dude who used to quietly walk around campus and play in a local pop-punk band is now an internationally recognized genre defining up-and-comer. I couldn't be happier for the guy, who by all accounts is one of the nicest, most humble dudes you could know.
What I'm getting at here is that, despite the fact that I've largely shrugged off chillwave, I'm happy to hear that I'll have some new TyM tracks to take in before long. For the second consecutive February, Chaz is releasing a new LP. Underneath the Pine drops on February 22, and you might prepare for a more full-band sound, as I hear he's expanded his stage show. This is a good thing and something I expressed a desire to see in my review of his Charleston show, back in April.
Here's to hoping there's no sophomore slump for Mr. Bundick--just more groovy tunes that lead me to engage in awkward whiteboy gyrations when no one else is around.
