DA charges Gilroy couple with human trafficking
GILROY, Calif. (KGO) -- A Gilroy husband and wife have been charged with human trafficking for locking a man in a liquor store, where he worked 15-hour shifts, seven days a week, slept in a storage room, bathed in a mop bucket, and was never paid, the Santa Clara County District Attorney's office said.
In a release, the DA's office said Amarjit and Balwinder Mann, both 66, are accused of threatening the victim with deportation if he told the truth to law enforcement.
An investigation estimates that the couple, who own a profitable liquor store and market, stole more than $150,000 in wages from the victim and three other employees. Officials believe the Manns engaged in predatory recruitment of their workers from India and lured them with promises of travel and financial independence.

The Manns face charges of labor human trafficking, witness intimidation, and wage theft involving a total of four victims. They will be arraigned Monday afternoon at 1:35 p.m. at the Hall of Justice in San Jose. If convicted of the felonies, they could face prison time.
"Slavery officially was abolished in 1865," District Attorney Jeff Rosen said. "Tragically, we are seeing examples of it in 2020. My office will prosecute anyone to the fullest extent of the law who practices this kind of criminal and inhumane exploitation."
The DA's office said in late Feb. 2020, an Alcoholic Beverage Control inspection discovered the victim at M&M Liquors located on Westwood Drive in Gilroy. The agent contacted a man who appeared to be living in a small storage room in the back area of the store, which is a major red flag for human trafficking, officials say.
Agents noted a thin mattress lying over milk crates, an office desk contained folded clothes in each drawer. On top of the desk, there were pots and pans for cooking and next to the desk, there was a mop sink with a faucet approximately three feet off the ground and a shampoo bottle. Investigators later learned the victim was bathing from the mop sink.
The investigation further concluded that the man had flown from India in 2019 expecting to travel to the U.S. with the couple. Instead, they took his money and passport and put him to work without pay or a key to leave the liquor store at night.
Three other men - two who worked at the liquor store and one who worked at the market across the street - told agents that they worked marathon hours and were paid a pittance. One said he had no idea about the concept of a minimum wage.

Jillax: Religious Pluralism in the Jewish State!
Religious Pluralism in the Jewish State!
One thing that is hard to grasp when you first land in Israel is not only the cultural diversity in the country (Jews are not only North American with origins in Eastern Europe, there are Jews from almost every country: Iran, South Africa, Ethiopia, Mexico, China, India), but the religious pluralism that exists.
Seth and I went downtown to Ben Yehuda St. Saturday night since it is always packed (because most stores are closed during the day for Shabbat, the Jewish day of rest). Towards the top, an Asian group of young adults were singing beautiful Christian songs. An audience had formed around them, and I was shocked to see that religious Jews were enjoying the music as well.
About 100 meters down the street (a pedestrian mall), there were 3 Haredi (ultra orthodox) men: one was playing the keyboard, the other singing, and the third dancing with a HUGE yellow flag that had the words "Mashiach" (Saviour) printed on it. Every once in a while a few religious, and even non-religious young men would jump in and dance.
It's nice to be reminded that in the holy city for Judaism, Christianity and Islam religion can be enjoyed together, and appreciated by all.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) was established in 1965 to develop national policies and programs to address housing needs in the U.S. One of HUD's primary missions is to create a suitable living environment for all Americans by developing and improving the country's communities and enforcing fair housing laws.
HUD helps people by administering a variety of programs that develop and support affordable housing. Specifically, HUD plays a large role in homeownership by making loans available for lower- and moderate-income families through its FHA mortgage insurance program and its HUD Homes program. HUD owns homes in many communities throughout the U.S. and offers them for sale at attractive prices and economical terms.
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) was established in 1934 to advance opportunities for Americans to own homes and is now a part of HUD. By providing private lenders with mortgage insurance, the FHA gives them the security they need to lend to first-time buyers who might not be able to qualify for conventional loans.

HomeCancerWorld PlusThe fight against cancer benefits from a stronger European union of registries
The fight against cancer benefits from a stronger European union of registries
30 July 2018 CancerWorld Plus, Featured, Systems & Services 0
CW+ 2
In February this year there was a significant announcement from the European Commission – the Joint Research Centre (JRC) launched the European Cancer Information System (ECIS), the result of several years' work to integrate data from European cancer registries. The ECIS has data from about 150 European population-based cancer registries from 25 EU member states and 7 non-EU European countries.
It comprises an anonymised database of 34.5 million cancer cases at present, excluding non-melanoma skin cancers, and provides a new and visual way of presenting cancer incidence, mortality and survival data. It also has estimates for this year (2018) based on Cancer Incidence in Five Continents for incidence and WHO for mortality in a collaboration led by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), with also the European Network of Cancer Registries (ENCR) and the International Association of Cancer Registries.
It is the successor to recent projects such as Eurocourse and its European Cancer Observatory, and the JRC says it is designed to be updated quickly. The intention is that there will be an annual call for data from registries to enable comparisons of cancer burdens across Europe using the most up to date information. (The most recent registry data in ECIS is currently from 2014, and the JRC needs to ensure the system is fully operational before the next call for data. Some national datasets date from as far back as 1968).
It has not had much attention, which is not surprising as cancer registries tend not to be the subject of much interest, despite the data often making headlines, mainly to expose poor outcomes in countries such as the UK. But as Anna Gavin, chair of the ENCR, says, the ECIS now provides a mechanism for cancer registries to submit a common dataset for quantifying the burden of cancers, following trends and changes over time. It will also power the Eurocare survival studies, which have been instrumental in influencing policymakers to take action on national cancer outcomes.
Many coutries still have only partial registries
So called "high resolution" studies, such as Eurocare, Rarecare (the rare cancers project), EPIC (the cancer and nutrition study), and a range of childhood cancer studies depend on registries. Cancer registries also of course underpin many aspects of public health and healthcare concerning cancer, from prevention to screening to treatment and its organisation. They continue to play a crucial part in public health policy on tobacco control.

Dr Gavin, who is also director of the Northern Ireland Cancer Registry, notes that "the ECIS does not yet contain data on all of Europe, as some countries do not yet have registries that cover the whole nation. The Netherlands, Nordic countries and the UK are among those that do have complete coverage but not so France and Italy, where there are many regional registries." For the EU, only about 65% of cancers are currently counted in registries. "A priority for the JRC is to develop a common mechanism for estimating the national cancer burden for countries with partial cancer registration to enable direct and more accurate comparisons between countries," she adds.
The ECIS depends though on national registries, and one of the missions of ENCR is to provide training and guidelines to enable registries to adopt standard, secure processes that ensure high quality data – Dr Gavin can't emphasise enough how much work has to be carried out by registries using internationally agreed rules and guidelines to clean and anonymise data before release.
That work, though, needs continued investment. "We see a huge difference in support that registries across Europe receive from their health ministries," she says.
Ana-Maria Forsea, a dermatologist based in Romania, has taken an interest in cancer registries, spurred by disparities in melanoma registration and data availability for quality of care assessment, which she says echoes the registration inequalities among countries for all cancers. In a 2016 paper, she reviewed the status of population cancer registries in Europe, noting progress but also obstacles as diverse as lack of trained fulltime staff, lack of IT support, variable regulatory frameworks for registry function and data collection, the impact of data privacy regulation, variable monitoring of data quality, and, at the root, lack of funding and political will.
While welcoming European initiatives, including best practice recommendations and the ECRN's efforts in providing training and tools, she says that "the picture has been slow to change as it is still the case that registries are underfunded and underperforming in some eastern European countries, which are then impeded in their key task of informing cancer control planning decisions." While population registries should at least provide basic data on incidence and mortality of different cancer types, Forsea says the gaps become larger when it comes to recording and reporting more key factors such as cancer treatment type and timeliness, follow-up and quality of life. "Registries that enjoy adequate funding, stable administrative structure and robust electronic linkages between hospitals and registries that allow automated processes are the best performers, mostly in northern and western Europe."
Melanoma, adds Forsea, exemplifies cancer inequalities, with wide variation in survival between eastern and western Europe, likely to result from disparities throughout the patient journey, from prevention and diagnosis to treatment access and data registration. Collecting complete and accurate information in registries that can help produce quality indicators for optimising care, and harmonising this collection across countries, is the way forward, as a group of experts including Forsea describe in a recent paper on the EU-MELACARE study, which is run under the European Registration of Cancer (EURECCA) project.
New practices make cancer registries richer and more useful
The paper notes that general population cancer registries tend to be too variable in coverage and data quality for melanoma, and looks more closely at the few population-based melanoma registries that exist, as well as a number of clinical registries (i.e. hospital based). Specialist registries are able to collect many more variables about melanoma cases, and also more early cases from a wider range of sources, as a lot of early melanomas are treated outside of cancer centres. As such, they are able to provide substantially more information for care evaluation, monitoring and planning. For example, the Dutch Melanoma Treatment Registry is tracking how new drugs are working in advanced melanoma.
Rolodex (Photo by flickr user Matt, CC licence 2.0)
It is important to learn from models of good practice, says Forsea, such as with Norway's melanoma registry, which is seen a "blend between a pure clinical registry and a classic national cancer registry", and indicates the direction of travel for population registries. The Nordic countries are among the most advanced in cancer registry development, and the combination of clinical and population level data is all the more powerful.
As Dr Gavin notes, only population-based registries can provide unbiased information as they cover a defined geographical area for all patients, and so can be used for epidemiological research, to assess screening programmes, follow cohorts of patients and so on. "A hospital registry includes data only on patients treated at the hospital, usually with no defined geographical area. The hospital may treat referrals of more difficult cases and so comparisons of outcomes are not valid unless case mix is taken into account."
Next steps in registry development can also be seen in the UK, where information on life beyond diagnosis and first treatment for cancer patients is under study , such as patient reported outcome data from men living with prostate cancer (the Life after prostate diagnosis project), and identifying risk of breast cancer recurrences. (See here for details of the N. Ireland cancer registry's partnership with Macmillan, including the prostate and breast projects, and also this paper by Macmillan – Measuring recurrence, progression and functional outcomes in patients with cancer).
The Cancer Data Dashboard in England is a good example of what can be achieved in presenting a wider dataset, initially in the most common cancers (so far it covers breast, prostate, lung and colorectal, including treatment data on colorectal and lung; quality of life is in development but there are patient experience measures).
The challenge of data linkage in the age of stricter privacy regulations
Dr Gavin notes that there is also a wide range of genomic and biological information that could be linked confidentially to registries, such as HPV status, important in cervical and head and neck cancers. But beyond cancer data there are also opportunities to link registries with other types of information. "For example, we can investigate children with leukaemia to see how they do academically by securely linking anonymised data for analysis."
Co-morbidities and psychiatric conditions are other medical data that could be linked, to identify groups that require extra support. Biobanks that are collecting information on healthy adults to understand risk factors for disease later in life are another candidate for linkage (see here for a presentation on the UK Biobank and a pilot linkage with England's National Cancer Data Repository).
Indeed, "data linkages and cancer registries" is the theme of the upcoming ENCR scientific meeting in Copenhagen, notes Dr Gavin. But while new developments are important, the conference also dedicates a whole day to training on data coding, and there's a workshop on data protection, important given that the EU's General Data Protection Regulationcame into force on 28 May this year. Getting the basics right and ensuring registries are doing things the same way remains a core mission, such as coding haematological malignancies correctly and putting in the administrative nuts and bolts so that registries can issue timely, clean data under applicable laws.
Another initiative that kicked off this year is the EU's Innovative Partnership for Action Against Cancer (iPAAC), the successor to EPAAC and CANCON.Work package 7 is on cancer information and registries, and will be piloting integration with clinical and administrative data to derive data on cancer care pathways and costs, and it will also pilot long-term follow-up of survivors and develop more informative epidemiological indicators. The leader is Roberta De Angelis, who is a member of the Eurocare team.
Meanwhile it is important that the role played by registries is more widely publicised, not least among policymakers and politicians. Forsea was a speaker at a European Parliament event hosted by MEP Charles Tannock in May – "Skin cancer registries in Europe: from knowledge to action", run as an MEPs Against Cancer meeting with the Association of European Cancer Leagues and Euromelanoma. Needless to say, Forsea's talk was, "Why registration is indispensable for skin cancer control".

Met Office – COPing to predictions
Anthony Watts / April 14, 2012
People send me stuff. Today I got a document dump, not quite on the Scale of ClimateGate but interesting nonetheless.
These are the Met Office's past reports to the COP climate conferences going back to 1998, containing predictions about climate change. WUWT readers will surely be interested in examining how accurate those predictions have turned out to be. For example, here's a figure from the COP4 report in 1998:
There is too much information here to take in today, so this seems like a perfect opportunity for crowd-sourcing bu WUWT readers. In comments make your points with references to the document, and excerpts, and compare to what we know today with appropriate references and citations.
I'll publish another thread on what you've found.
These are all PDF files, some as large as 5MB.

Researchers needed
Ben Pile says:
I tried to do something similar with IPCC predictions recently. Finding the raw data for predictions can be hard, but I found this handy tool, which allows the reverse-engineering of charts. http://digitizer.sourceforge.net/
RobRoy says:
–"The majority of the research work carried out within the Met Office Hadley Centre
uses a world-leading global climate model that includes many different components of the climate system."– OOH, "World-Leading" model. Must be good.
joep17901 says:
Just like with psychics, ignore the failed predictions and concentrate on the 1-2% they get right.
A ring through the nose is bull leading, which mainly means it goes where you want him to go.
Frumious Bandersnatch says:
Yeah, but be careful you don't get (Al) Gored by the data.
Werner Brozek says:
This is with reference to the first graph which is also on COP4, page 5, where the land temperature was expected to greatly increase over this past decade. Crutem4 is now on woodfortrees, but there is a slight problem. It only goes to the end of 2010. Mathematicians may wish to improve on my crude analysis, but for what it is worth, here is what I did. I took the slope of crutem3 from 2002 to December 2010 and found it to be -0.00200314. Then I found the slope from 2002 to January 2012, its latest value, and found it to be -.00793462. The drop for the additional 13 months was 0.00593. The slope of crutem4 from 2002 to December 2010 was 0.00585. So if I am allowed to make the assumption that when crutem4 is completely updated, that there would be a similar drop, there will be NO temperature change in land for the past decade.

Oh if I only had some time…on a drop-dead rush job but just great material to analyse.
Ben – thanks for the link – good stuff.
Stephen Singer says:
These reports future temp change graphs do not use the same baseline years for baseline ave. temp.
COP4 and COP6 use a baseline temp of 1860 – 1890. By COP8 it looks like 1960-1990 perhaps. Then the rest maybe 1980-2010 perhaps. Mostly it's not specifically stated what the baseline year range is for ave. temp.
Even with the changing baseline years for ave. temp the temp change charts temp change out to 2100 is fairly consistant at 3-5 deg. C.
feet2thefire says:
You don't even have to look past 1980 to see it is garbage.
None of the curves show the ~1950-~1980 decline. The curves aren't real data prior to the date of the graph. That makes the entire graph fake.
The curves look like they were taken straight off the fake Mon Loa "real time" but actually artificial linear CO2 curve.
Peter Whale says:
Until the models can replicate the past future predictions are a biased guess that maintains funding.
NetDr says:
Between 2000 and today the AR4 models predicted .33 ° C warming. Actual warming has actually ZERO so the error is infinite.

Cool link Ben. What a great idea – reverse-engineering visual data to its numerical form (allowing for further numerical analysis beyond that which can be achieved by a human staring at a chart). Nice. Thanks.
hagendl says:
"Probably the greatest uncertainty in future projections of climate arises from clouds and their interactions with radiation … even the sign of this feedback remains unknown" — IPCC (TAR 2001)
"Cloud effects "remain the largest source of uncertainty" in model based estimates of climate sensitivity" — IPCC (AR4 2007)
"Uncertainty in the sign of projected changes in climate extremes over the coming two to three decades is relatively large because climate change signals are expected to be relatively small compared to natural climate variability". IPCC Special Report on Extremes 2012
See further quotes at: Roger Pielke Jr. & WUWT
COP4 p 5
The reason why climate predictions are so uncertain is that, once climate change begins, consequential changes will feed back, either positively or negatively, on the original warming. These feedbacks are poorly understood.
However, in COP12 there is no mention of "clouds", "feedback" or "feed back" or "sensitivity" or "sign" or "hindcast", or "validate" or "verify" or "verified" . However, there are 13 occurrences of "likely". e.g.,
observations show that the fraction of the planet's land surface in drought has risen
sharply since the start of the 1980s. Comparison with computer model simulations suggests this is likely to be due to human induced climate change.
How do we know that the MetOffice did not get their predictions backwards like the CSIRO as found by David Stockwell in Tests of Regional Climate Model Validity in the Drought Exceptional Circumstances Report
The most worrying failure was that simulations showed increases in droughted area over the last century in all regions, while the observed trends in drought decreased in five of the seven regions identified in the CSIRO/Bureau of Meteorology report. Therefore there is no credible basis for the claims of increasing frequency of Exceptional Circumstances declarations made in the report.
I noticed that the predictons made in 2000 were much lower than those made in 1998.
[they were still way wrong but lower.]
warren knott says:
The Met Office have just been given a £60 million grant to improve their computer system for climate change research. Money makes the world go round.
Net Dr. Good one. Infinity is pretty big; is it not.
COP12 from 2006 devotes four pages to PRECIS, Providing REgional Climates for Impacts
It "is a regional climate modelling system allowing Hadley Centre regional climate models to be set up over any region and run on a PC (under the Linux operating system) with a simple user interface.
"It also includes a suite of data processing, analysis and display tools so experiments can easily be set up, run, analysed and data made available for wider application and dissemination.
"PRECIS is designed for researchers (with a focus on developing countries) to construct high-resolution climate change scenarios for their region of interest.
"These scenarios can be used in impact, vulnerability and adaptation studies, and to aid in the preparation of National Communications, as required under Articles 4.1 and 4.8 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)."
COP12 focused on its use in India, China and Africa. It would be interesting if WUWT could obtain PRECIS, if at all possible, to give an insight into how the Hadley Centre are creating regional climate models and related studies to present to the UN.
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/precis/
I suppose you could make the case that a ring on the finger is miss leading. Misleading seems like a better term to describe the global climate model from the Hadley Centre rather than world-leading.
Crispin in Johannesburg says:
60 million pounds? Have they considered buying a couple of copies of Piers Corbyn's laptop? That would save a lot and provide much more valuable and accurate forecasts.
By the time the 10th report comes out, the predictions will have morphed into exactly what occurred. And then they can say they were right.
Mmmmmm!
COP 12 – 2006 – Met Office Hadley Centre
"Even though (globally) total rainfall will increase as the climate warms, the proportion of land in
drought is projected to rise throughout the 21st century because some areas are likely to experience less rainfall, and evaporation will be enhanced in a warmer climate."
But won't other areas of land get more rainfall? Does all this extra rainfall have a particular preference for the open sea? I have no idea.
Detection of a direct carbon dioxide effect in continental river runoff records
Continental runoff has increased through the twentieth century1, 2 despite more intensive human water consumption3. Possible reasons for the increase include: climate change and variability, deforestation, solar dimming4, and direct atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) effects on plant transpiration5.
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v439/n7078/abs/nature04504.html
Brief Communications Arising
Continental Runoff: A quality-controlled global runoff data set
Gedney et al.1 attribute an increase in the twentieth-century continental runoff to the suppression of plant transpiration by CO2-induced stomatal closure, by replicating a continental runoff data set2. However, we have concerns about this data set and the methods used to construct it, in addition to those already raised3, which we believe may undermine their conclusions.
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v444/n7120/full/nature05480.html
I find it staggering how much the Met Office relies on models to make its projections. No wonder so many people died of cold in the UK after being snowed in over the past few years.
I downloaded the 1998 COP4.
This document was produced by a literal Who's Who of British climate scientists: UK Met. Office Hadley Centre: Chris Folland, David Parker, Briony Horton, John Mitchell, Tim Johns, Christine Coughlan, Anne Keen, Nick Rayner , David Roberts, Andy Jones, Paul Jacobs, Simon Tett and Geoff Jenkins
Climatic Research Unit, University of East Anglia: Keith Briffa, Phil Jones, Mike Hulme and David Viner.
The Figure on page 4 shows the UK Met/UEA predicted temperature anomalies from 1859 through to 2100. These predictions were made by "the new Hadley Centre Climate model." Experience leads one to suspect that the even newer Hadley Centre climate models constructed since 1998 would predict pretty much the same trends.
On top of these predictions, I've plotted HADCRUT3 global anomalies out to 2012, normalized to their 1851-1900 mean. The result is here: http://i44.tinypic.com/ser3ok.jpg or, if they can be made to appear: The original Legend is included.
Both plots are on the same scale and were adjusted to the same frame dimensions. So, the lines are directly comparable just by inspection. If you look hard, you'll see the original tick-marks below mine. For the following comparisons I estimated the mean trends, ignoring all the random temperature spikes.
Comparison shows that the UEA measured global anomalies consistently undershoot the predicted anomalies after about 1950. By 2012, the measured global temperature is about 0.3 C cooler than the predicted global temperature.
I then normalized the GISS land anomalies to their 1880-1900 mean and again plotted them over the UEA predictions. The disparity in land temperature anomalies is much worse than the global disparity. The result is here: http://i43.tinypic.com/2rcrkau.jpg, or, if they can be made to appear: The original Legend is again included.
The GISS land surface anomalies again consistently depart from the predicted land surface anomalies after about 1950. By 2011, the measured land anomalies are a full 1 C cooler than the predicted land surface anomalies.
It would look like CRU GCM falsification to me, if I believed that the surface air temperatures could be measured to better than (+/-)0.5 C accuracy and/or that GCMs could actually produce a valid air temperature prediction.
The Met Office must realize these predictions are going to be cut to threads? Why did they release them? Sorry I can't help in the breakdown, I'm only here for the geeky snark.
There have been no negative consequences, if fact quite the opposite these people have prospered very well from their data manipulation and production of scary models.
So this will continue until they face negative consequences.
Terminate a couple of careers and stop the financing for all the nice new toys would send a strong signal.
the first thing you would have to do is plot out the ASSUMED emissions scenario ( BAU) verses the ACTUAL emissions data. If that's close, then you can compare the prediction to the actual.
Its like this: Suppose I have a model that predicts miles to empty given an Assumed fuel flow rate
So, if you run your car at the current throttle setting for the next 2 hours, your MTE (miles to empty) will be Xt, Xt2, etc etc. You run that model based on an assumed throttle setting.
Now you get to test it. But, instead of a throttle setting that you assumed the driver sometimes runs above that setting and sometimes runs below that setting.
Problem: you cant simply compare the model run ( which assumed condition X ) against a test run where the test conditions were not controlled.
Since we cant control the experiment ( the emissions ) we cant SIMPLY compare a prediction to reality. You first must check the emissions scenario and see how well it tracks with reality.
If you want controlled experiments then your only hope is to install a world government that controls emissions. And we dont want that. Or you can do a range of emissions scenarios..
Which data set should be used when analysing these predictions versus reality? I was given the impression that CRUTEM3 was not good because it did not cover the polar regions well. Presumably, we now have the cream of the crop with both CRUTEM4 and BEST. Is one better than the other? I checked out the year 1996 with both and there are HUGE differences! For example, with BEST, January 1996 was 0.282 and August was 1.095 for a rise of 0.813 between January and August of the same year. However with CRUTEM4, January 1996 was 0.208 and August was 0.220 for a rise of only 0.012 between January and August of that same year.

For the posted chart, how can global temperature change be more than sea or land? Shouldn't it be between the two, about 70-30 towards the sea end?
Phil's Dad says:
the first thing you would have to do…
Of course Mr M is right about looking at the assumptions in the models first. Perhaps we could ask them to release their data and code so we could do that. What do you think Mr M?
In the mean time – as afar as I can tell – emissions seem to be about the same or slightly higher than their A1F1 assumptions and temperatures well below.
"I am always happy to be in the minority. Concerning the climate models, I know enough of the details to be sure that they are unreliable. They are full of fudge factors that are fitted to the existing climate, so the models more or less agree with the observed data. But there is no reason to believe that the same fudge factors would give the right behavior in a world with different chemistry, for example in a world with increased CO2 in the atmosphere."
– Freeman Dyson
COP10 (2004) excerpt:
http://wattsupwiththat.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/cop10.pdf
The Hadley Centre has developed a method to estimate the uncertainty in climate models, the largest source of uncertainty in climate predictions over the next 50 years. Preliminary results suggest that:
– the most likely global average temperature rise for a doubling of the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide is predicted to be 3.5 °C, with a 90% probability that the warming will be between 2.4 °C and 5.4 °C;
Not a word about aerosols in this COP10 document – I presume their FABRICATED aerosol numbers are buried within the climate computer models.
How do I know the aerosol numbers (pre-1970) are FABRICATED? Because if they used real aerosol numbers, the "most likely global average temperature rise for a doubling of the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide" (Climate Sensitivity to CO2) would not be 3.5C – it would probably be 1.0C or less.
They use the phony aerosol data to fudge their climate computer models so that they can falsely claim to hindcast (model the past) accurately, and voila – can therefore claim to accurately model the future.
It is all nonsense – their models grossly over-predict global warming due to many fatal flaws in their input assumptions – the phony aerosol data is needed to then "adjust" the more obvious resulting consequences of these false inputs (particularly exaggerated Sensitivity) – one lie begets another.
If you want controlled experiments then your only hope is to install a world government that controls emissions. And we dont want that…..
Yea, but the UN, World Bank and WTO does.

So I looked at just one of their graphed predictions; the green one, since it is the most prominent, and it raised a question. Starting at around 2050, and going to 2100, the climate is predicted to start undergoing much larger temperature swings, than anything in the history up to 2000.
So what is it in their green model that causes everything to go pear shaped in 2050; do they switch to a different random number algorithm in 2050 ?
They are. The red (global) is between the green (land) and blue (sea). And in about the ratio you say. But over the last 11 years, neither the land, sea, nor globe warmed. See

On the other side of the world, rising waters will drown many beaches on Canada's Atlantic coast by 2030, says John Shaw, a research scientist with the Geological Survey of Canada.

So the Global Dictatorship would have to be in power for 800yrs of 'controlled emission' to get to see if there really is anything to CO2 AGW/CC due to the 800yr lagtime effect. Am i right?
son of mulder says:
Just looking at the 1998 COP unperturbed model thay seem to have temperature going down in 1998 as opposed to the El Nino. Are they implying that the 1998 El Nino was caused by anthropogenic CO2 or is their unperturbed model rubbish, not being able to predict a very significant climate event in its year of production? And if their unperturbed model is rubbish what do we expect the others to be?
Pat, I suspect that it has been taken down from the UK Met Off site by now but in about 2007 they announced a brand new model for their brand new £30m computer which would PREDICT the daily weather and climate to 10 years out and that they would be selling these forecasts commercially. They used that model to predict that the majority of years from 2009 would be hotter globally than 1998. That's why they had to invent HadCru4. They needed it to make 2010 the warmist year ever, ever ever. They crooks and thieves. They take money from the UK pensioners (£482 / month maximum) to play their dangerous climate games. Richard Betts has been putting himself around the internet with his "be polite and you will be alright" method in support of his friends at the CRU and their climate model which, incidentally, in case you didn't know, is accurate and has predicted everything that has happened.
Mosher says
So, Steven, we should stop all model research in favour of real, empirical science, yeh ?
Well then we can take their most dire predictions, as emissions have been about as great as the worst case do nothing to control CO2 scenarios, what with India and China as well as many other nations developing. Therefore the accuracy of the predicted result is worse then we thought.
TXMichael says:
The worm has turned —
What was a trickle of dissent has become a stream. 16 Scientist here, 49 Astronauts there, and treasure troves of documents. The release of this UK Met Office material is another component of what will soon become a torrent of rebuke; as scientist and policy makers flee the sinking ship that is CAWG dogma. Soon people will begin to brag about having left first — the " I knew it was all a load of ____ when . . . " crowd. For the money/power grubbers in the CAGW camp, I hope they ride it into the depths. For those easily mislead, I hope that they will learn to exert some independent thought next time. And for a generation of young scientist with degrees in climate studies and computer modeling, I feel sorry. Populist band-wagons may be great social moves, but then often leave one's career in disarray.
Stephen, coincidentally, I recently made a comparison between the retrodiction of that particular brand new UK Met climate model, and the 2011 and 2012 CRU global temperature anomalies.
Here's the plot: http://i43.tinypic.com/160plhj.jpg
All the lines are zeroed at 1985. The white line is the UK Met model retrodiction with 95% confidence intervals in fading red. The dark blue line is the CRU global temperature anomalies to 2011, and the dark green line is the CRU global temperature anomalies to 2012.
Darned if in the 2011 data, the observed anomaly trend wanders away from the retrodicted anomalies after about 1996. By 2011, the measured anomalies are threatening the 95% confidence limit.
But somehow by 2012 the anomalies were corrected by the Ministry of Truth in Climate Science, and voila!, they are properly right on target over the model line. Climate science, by Winston Smith, et al.

26, in Houston.Rams, Sept.I was curious what you're seeing, if any similarities between the Saints' defense in practice and the 49ers' defense you faced in practice, in your time in San Francisco for half a season.It'd be huge, Armstead said.Played 4 seasons at Auburn University after redshirting the Tigers' 2010 BCS National Championship campaign'�Four-year starter on the offensive line for the Tigers with 49 career starts, second most among SEC offensive linemen, and 4th-most in Auburn history'�In 2014, started 14 games at both guard spots'�In 2013, started all 13 games at right guard for the SEC champions'�In 2012, started 12 games at right guard and left tackle'�As a redshirt freshman in 2011, played in 13 games with 10 starts.
But you have a vision of what you're trying to accomplish in that particular setting and not be afraid to to step in and try to help and serve.Entering 2020, his six career interception returns for touchdowns are tied for third in the NFL since 2009.We'll just be out at stake.Williams and defensive tackle Tyeler Davison ; defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins, receiver Michael Thomas, safety Vonn Bell and defensive tackle David Onyemata ; and cornerback Marshon Lattimore, offensive tackle Ryan Ramczyk, safety Marcus Williams, running back Alvin Kamara, linebacker Alex Anzalone and defensive end Trey Hendrickson .He also ran a youth world record 10 100-meter dash in the 2017 Florida Relays.
He can separate from defensive backs quickly and was once a sprinter in high school.They know how to lead a locker room and push guys in the right direction.I mean, listen, we'd love to get the Who Dat chant going before the game, we'd love to hear the crowd getting crazy, everything else.
I was able to enjoy my best 10 professional years as trainer with the Chiefs when Marty Schottenheimer was coaching there.Jurassic Quest's own Safari Sarah, Dino Dustin, Captain Caleb, Prehistoric Nick and Park Ranger Design Custom Shirts provide a fun-filled soundtrack for the hour-long trip back in time to help visitors navigate the dino herd and learn little-known dino facts '?packed with plenty of lighthearted humor to tickle funnybones of every age !Lance would be the perfect pick for the Lions at No.Again, we look at our roster from top to bottom, and we have to make decisions.
It shows a lot about him as a person and a player, that he can deal with that and then succeed at those positions.And maybe what did you take away from that game as a play-caller?Again, another guy that's asking the right questions, that's detailed in the meetings.Nicknamed The Truck .
But the ground-game production '?264 yards on 45 carries '?aligned with some of the recent outputs by the Saints , who won their fourth straight NFC South Division title and retain designs on capturing the No.Those two guys, Josh has been here for eight years and started for probably the last seven, eight year, whatever it was.Very few sacks given up, very few mental errors.Certainly I do not get a chance to study it as much, but I do know that going against him in practice and things of that nature he is just extremely intelligent.
I didn't care that I went to Ohio State, it doesn't matter in the NFL.NFL football center Max Unger grew up on his family's McCandless Ranch, a 7000 acre working cattle ranch that starts on the slopes of Mauna Loa stretches down to Hookena Beach.How I see it, as a defense, we have work to do.He's got a great aura about him.
Again, they will probably be, I would say, we're going to look at the board just like we did in the first few days, right?Sure, the play on the field matters, but say to anyone that's been to the Senior Bowl second floor Renaissance and they'll know exactly what it means.He's served as the House Captain for Shell for the last decade.Curry will return to his roots in the quarterback position group as he was a four-year starter at the University of North Carolina from 1998, where he left Chapel Hill with school career records of 4 passing yards and 6 yards of total offense.New Orleans runs for 137 yards per game and the Chiefs allow 128 rushing yards, so that appears to be a recipe for ball control.
On the contrary, it is a very fair test of golf, despite it being a tour event host.

News: Xiaomi makes billions in just 12 hours, YouTube to remove ads for a fee, Netflix Watch
by Edgar Cervantes on April 9, 2015
@tech_sasquatch
Xiaomi celebrates its birthday by making boat loads of cash, YouTube contemplates subscription service and Netflix releases its own wearable.
Xiaomi sells billion in half a day
Xiaomi is breaking selling records left and right, and most of their phones sell out in a matter of minutes, but what they have just accomplished is stunning. The Chinese manufacturer recently put together its 5th birthday MiFan Festival, in which they discounted a good amount of devices and accessories.
You want to try guessing how much they sold? Well, we can tell you it was well over RMB 2 billion, which equals to well over $300 million USD. If that's not impressive enough, let us tell you this event only lasted 12 hours.
They sold 2.12 million phones for a revenue of RMB 2.02 billion. They also sold over 38,000 Mi TVs, 200,000 Mi Bands and 247,000 Mi Power Strips. They made about RMB 190 million in just accessories!
Opinion: That's a lot of millions for a 12-hour sale, guys. Some of the larger manufacturers are probably dying of envy right now. The company is growing strong. I say it won't take more than a couple years for them to become prolific in the mobile industry, all over the world.
YouTube subscription service to get rid of ads
Hating those pesky YouTube ads? I know, they can be annoying, but it's the only way for your favorite YouTube to get compensated for their hard work. At least that is the only way now, but Google is always thinking of better ways to monetize YouTube. The latest news revolves around a subscription service that is to come later this year.
Signing up for this subscription service would allow you to watch YouTube without watching a single ad. This information comes from an official email sent to YouTube partners, where they are informed of the upcoming changes.
We are not sure whether this will be better or worse for content creators, but it looks like they really have no option but to accept the 55% of whatever YouTube makes out of these subscriptions. They can opt out, but then all their videos would be set to private. Not fun, right?
Opinion: Life is not easy for a YouTuber. All these changes are happening way too often.
The Netflix Watch is the ultimate binge-watching machine
Everyone is going bananas over the Apple Watch, but Netflix has something better for you. There are no words to describe this, so why don't you just watch the announcement video?
Opinion: It seems April 1st came a little late to the guys at Netflix. Loving it!

My study abroad experience was well worthwhile, I was able to learn more about the culture of Korea and as well as the Korean language. I feel the most important thing I learned was that I shouldn't hold back on anything and because of that, I have become more confident in myself than I ever was before.
The professors are one of the best professors I ever had.
I had so much storage in my dorm room, it was very spacious for a two-person room.
The quality of the food was very good and it was cheap.
All of the students from KU were very friendly and made me feel welcomed.
I did get a small cough while I was there, thankfully the campus was right next to a pharmacy where I was able to get the medicine I needed. It was a really easy process for me too.
I felt very safe in Korea, I was able to go out at night and not have to be on high alert for anything, I felt very safe when I was there.
It was one of the happiest times of my life, I would do it all over again because I gained so many precious memories and relationships that I never want to forget.
I believe you could have spent a lot less on food but I went out all the time for 3 meals a day and bought a lot of clothes while there.
Do you have any general money-saving tips for future study abroad participants? Buy food from a supermarket so you can save money since the dorms have fully equipped kitchens.
Not many people spoke English so it encouraged me to use the language more.
Do you have any tips/advice on the best ways to practice the language for future study abroad participants? Take a class before going to the country and learn the alphabet and how to read the language.
* What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? I do know more Korean now than I did when I was in Korea, I wish the level of Korean I am at now was the level I was at when I was in Korea.


By Nicole Leeper | Senior Director of Communications I've been immersed in orphan care for five years now - three of them spent working for World Orphans - and I'm still learning. At this point I'm convinced that God will be teaching me about orphan care for the rest of my life. He uses many methods and people to show me the intricacies of His heart for the fatherless: our staff, the Haitian pastors I've visited, our missionaries who take the time to message me on Facebook, His Word, our volunteers, the families caring for children, and the children themselves. There is a lot to learn and I'm thankful for the soaking I've been able to do.
Yes it's true. Orphan care does not belong to me, to you, to World Orphans, to UNICEF, to the western privileged world, or anyone else on this earth. Orphan care belongs to God. It's His. Every messy situation, every family coming together, every church at work, every little thing about it. It belongs to God. He is the One with the blueprint for orphan care. So where do we come in?
As I stated above, God has the blueprint. So, what does He do with us? I often picture Jesus in a garage working on carpentry. I come along as a child and He teaches me how to build with Him. First he gives me a toy hammer and a box of plastic nails, patiently watching me and finding joy in my process of growth. At some point I graduate to a real hammer, and even though I miss the nails from time to time, He graciously loves me as I learn.
The way I see it, he's given some of us a saw, some a hammer, some a level, and some other supplies. He takes the time to patiently teach all of us about His heart for orphans and allows each of us to be part of the story in a variety of ways.
What tool are you in the toolbox of God? Maybe your tool is being an adoptive parent. Maybe it's being a fundraiser. Maybe it's educating caretakers. One of my tools is graphic design. I invite you to consider your tool. I promise that you are equipped with skills that God can use to care for those He loves. Ask Him to show you his blueprints and your place in His story.
We know what the kingdom of God looks like, and in this we can find joy in the mess while we pursue, "…what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding".
Join us in spending time getting to know the blueprints of the Father, identifying the tools He's given you, and jump into the messiness with us, until they all have homes.

Updated: Men accused of murdering Daphne Caruana Galizia formally indicted
Tuesday, 16 July 2019, 10:44 Last update: about 5 years ago
Vince Muscat, George Degiorgio, and Alfred Degiorgio have been formally charged with the assassination of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, 21 months to the day since she was killed in a car-bomb near her home.
Attorney General Peter Grech filed the bill of indictment against the trio on Tuesday morning.
The compilation of evidence against the three has been ongoing since December 2017, when they were arrested in a raid in Marsa. The three accused would have been eligible for release on bail next month had they not been charged as local law states that a bill of indictment must be served within 20 months of facing charges.
The accused had time and time again attempted to apply for bail, the most recent attempt being Muscat's through a new lawyer last Monday. Each time however, the application for bail was unsuccessful.
The men will now stand trial for allegedly creating, planting, and detonating the bomb that killed the journalist on 16 October 2017.
Over the past weeks, questions had been raised over the time taken by the AG's office to issue the bill of indictment, with reports speaking about the possibility that the suspects could be released on bail.
The Council of Europe has also, through a report it adopted late last month, instructed the Maltese government to call a public inquiry into the murder within the next three months.
While the three suspects have been charged, many still feel that the mastermind behind the murder is still at large.
Government statement
In a statement, the government noted that the three persons accused of the murder of Ms. Daphne Caruana Galizia have been issued with a bill of indictment.
"This is further proof of the commitment and good functioning of the Maltese institutions," it said.

Premier opens new 'Library at the Dock' centrepiece at Docklands
Premier Denis Napthine today joined Planning Minister Matthew Guy and Lord Mayor Robert Doyle to open 'Library at the Dock', a new state-of-the-art library and community centre located in the heart of Docklands.
Speaking at the launch of 'Library at the Dock', Dr Napthine said the new centre would provide the local community with a great place to meet, read a book and enjoy a coffee, or study.
"'Library at the Dock' will act as a vital hub for this growing community and ensure we are continually improving the liveability of Docklands," Dr Napthine said.
"It will provide world-leading spaces for all members of the Docklands and wider community to learn, explore and enjoy."
The $23 million library and community centre is a joint initiative of the state government developer Places Victoria, Lend Lease and the City of Melbourne.
"This project has been a priority for local residents and is a great example of what can be achieved when governments work together with local organisations, the private sector and the Docklands community," Dr Napthine said.
The library's state-of-the-art facilities include digital and traditional library collections, a recording studio, editing suites, and a gallery and exhibition space that recognises Docklands' heritage.
Planning Minister Matthew Guy said the library also fulfils a vision for environmental excellence by creating Melbourne's most sustainable civic landmark.
"Constructed primarily from cross laminated timber and recycled hardwood, Library at the Dock has been rated with a six-star green-star energy efficiency, making it Australia's most sustainable community building," Mr Guy said.
"The library is located at the iconic new intersection of Collins and Bourke streets, maximising views from the park through to the water."
Lord Mayor Robert Doyle said the building was the product of great minds and rare talents.
"We have delivered a world class building, through a unique partnership, that will serve Melbourne and Docklands for generations to come," Cr Doyle said.
'Library at the Dock' is part of the Victorian Coalition Government's Docklands Community and Place Plan, aimed at making the Docklands one of Australia's most liveable suburbs.
The Coalition Government is also investing $18 million for a new park and community oval in north-west Docklands as part of the Community and Place Plan.
The government has also invested $20 million to improve public transport in Docklands including extending tram services down Collins Street right to the door of the new library.
"The Coalition Government is committed to investing in major infrastructure projects and world class community facilities in Docklands to further enhance the liveability of this great area," Dr Napthine said.

Bill Gates has added a geothermal startup to his clean energy fund's first bets
The $1 billion Breakthrough Energy Ventures fund is also pouring money into geothermal, grid storage, biofuels and more.
by James Temple
Bill Gates's $1 billion clean energy fund just opened up its checkbook for the first time. Breakthrough Energy Ventures will announce today it's investing in a host of startups developing technology that can confront the growing dangers of climate change.
Among the first selected was a startup in Berkeley, California, that is applying fracking techniques to the geothermal industry in the hope of converting far more of the planet's latent heat into a source of clean energy.
If Fervo Energy's technologies work as intended, they could enable existing geothermal sites to boost electricity production, or allow entirely new areas to tap into heat within the earth's crust. Increasing geothermal generation could ease the broader shift to cleaner energy systems, because it can provide always-on power or ramp-up as needed, unlike variable wind and solar farms.
The other businesses on Breakthrough's inaugural list of portfolio companies, first reported by Quartz early Wednesday and now posted on Breakthrough's site, include grid-storage startup Form Energy; solid-state battery company QuantumScape; MIT's fusion spinout Commonwealth Fusion Systems; biofuels firm DMC Biotechnologies; Pivot Bio, which is developing replacements for nitrogen fertilizer; CarbonCure, which is storing carbon dioxide in concrete; Quidnet, which makes subsurface pumped hydro storage; and Zero Mass Water, which created technology to pull water from air.
The investment amounts haven't been disclosed.
Fervo CEO Tim Latimer, who previously worked as a drilling engineer for BHP Billiton's shale operations, says the startup intends to use the funding to move forward with field deployments to test and refine their so-called enhanced geothermal systems. The company's other cofounder is Jack Norbeck, who was a reservoir engineer at The Geysers in Northern California, the world's largest geothermal field.
Geothermal energy takes advantage of heat naturally generated under the earth's crust, which warms underground reservoirs. This water works its way toward the surface, in liquid and gas form, through a network of porous rocks and fractures. Geothermal plants use deep wells to tap into that steam, leveraging it to drive turbines and generate electricity.
But geothermal generally works only in regions with the perfect combination of underground heat, fluid, and adequately permeable rocks. Many places meet the first two conditions but not the last one.
For decades now, scientists have been exploring the potential of enhanced geothermal techniques to increase underground permeability, generally by pumping water through an artificial well to widen existing fractures. To date, however, results have been mixed.
An earlier MIT study concluded that modest federal investments into research and development in this area could add more than 100 gigawatts of new generating capacity for clean energy in the United States within 50 years—or the equivalent of about 50 Hoover Dams.
Fervo's founders—currently fellows at the Cyclotron Road program at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory—believe they can improve the performance of enhanced geothermal systems by isolating multiple zones inside a well and optimizing water flow within each of them.
While some of the technical details are proprietary, Latimer says the company is using horizontal drilling techniques that have become far cheaper, thanks to improvements developed by the booming natural-gas industry. It is also employing fiber-optic temperature gauges that can run through underground wells, along with other sensors and simulation software, to create a clearer understanding of underground structures and dynamics.
Enhanced geothermal systems, however, do raise risks and concerns. Critics fear the process may contaminate drinking water and generate earthquakes, much as fracking and subsequent waste water injection have.
Geopower Basel's enhanced geothermal project in Basel, Switzerland, was famously halted around a decade ago following a series of earthquakes. In addition, geothermal AltaRock Energy scrapped a demonstration project at The Geysers in 2009 after confronting technical challenges and public concerns over potential seismic dangers.
"As with any project, there are inherent risks that we need to manage for," Latimer says. "But we know a lot more about the subsurface networks now than we did in years past, and we can apply these lessons to make sure we develop systems safely and effectively."

Fort Patience, historisch richtiger Vestung de la Patience, später auch  genannt (), ist eine Festung aus dem 17./18. Jahrhundert im Ort Apam an der Küste Ghanas.

Die Niederländer errichteten Fort Lijdzaamheid auf Bitten eines einheimischen Herrschers, der sich von mächtigen, mit den Briten verbündeten Nachbarn bedroht sah. Der Name "Vestung de la patience" liegt begründet in der langen Bauzeit der Festung, das heißt ursprünglich eher eines einzelnen Steinhauses, die den Zeitraum 1697 bis 1702 umfasste. Er erinnert an die Geduld, die man bei der Erbauung der Festung aufgebracht hatte aufgrund von ständigen Streitigkeiten, die seitens einiger europäerfeindlicher Häuptlinge der Nachbarschaft vom Zaun gebrochen wurden. Das Land gehörte zum Zeitpunkt der Erbauung des Forts dem König von Acron und stand Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts unter der allgemeinen Schutzherrschaft der Fanti-Konföderation. 1704 wurde das Haus befestigt und mit acht Kanonen versehen. 1782 eroberten die Briten die Festung, drei Jahre später nahmen die Niederländer sie wieder ein.

Die Stadt Apam wurde am 1. März 1811 im Rahmen des Fanti-Aschanti-Krieges von den Aschanti eingenommen, geplündert und zu großen Teilen zerstört. Das damals holländische Fort blieb jedoch von den Aschanti verschont. Ungefähr eine Woche nach dem Wiederabrücken der Aschanti besetzte eine akimische Armee unter der Führung des Okyenhene (König von Akim-Abuakwa) Atta Wusu Yiakosan die Stadt mit dem Ziel, dadurch einem Teil der Aschanti-Armee den Rückzug abzuschneiden, die in nahegelegenen Küstenbereichen operierte. Da die Holländer allgemein als Verbündete der Aschanti galten, ließ Atta das Fort stürmen. Es wurde ausgiebig geplündert und zu großen Teilen zerstört, das heißt die Mauern wurden teilweise eingerissen und sämtliche Geschützlafetten zertrümmert bzw. unbrauchbar gemacht. Die zuvor im Fort befindlichen Compagnie-Sklaven entkamen nach Fort Beraku (Berracoe), das sich zu der damaligen Zeit ebenfalls in holländischem Besitz befand. Der angebliche Grund für diesen Gewaltakt der Akimer war, so wurde hinterher behauptet, dass der als Kommandant amtierende holländische Sergeant dem Akimer-König nicht den Rückzugsweg verraten wollte, den die aschantische Armee bei ihrem Abmarsch genommen hatte.

Einige Zeit später bauten die Niederländer das Fort wieder auf. 1868 wurde die Festung im Rahmen des großen Austauschs von Stützpunkten an der damaligen Goldküste zwischen den Niederländern und den Briten britisch.

Die Festung wurde in moderner Zeit als Polizeistation und auch als Postamt genutzt, heute wird dort ein Gästehaus betrieben.
