A convicted rapist named Matias Reyes has claimed he alone attacked the jogger. Reyes' claim, backed by DNA evidence, has forced prosecutors to reinvestigate accusations that the system railroaded the defendants, all of whom were 16 or younger at the time. The five defendants have completed their prison sentences, but their lawyers have said the men now want to clear their names. (AP Photo/Malcolm Clarke) MALCOLM CLARKE, AP

NEW YORK — A former prosecutor in the Central Park Five case has resigned from at least two nonprofit boards as backlash intensified following the release of the Netflix series "When They See Us," a miniseries that dramatizes the events surrounding the trial.
On Tuesday, the president of Vassar College posted a letter on its website saying that Linda Fairstein had resigned as a Board of Trustees member.

"I am told that Ms. Fairstein felt that, given the recent widespread debate over her role in the Central Park case, she believed that her continuing as a Board member would be harmful to Vassar," Elizabeth H. Bradley wrote.
The victims-services agency, Safe Horizon, also confirmed Fairstein's resignation on Tuesday, thanking her for "her decades of pioneering work on behalf of victims of sexual assault and abuse."

Messages requesting comment from Fairstein were not immediately returned.
Fairstein was the top Manhattan sex crimes prosecutor when five teenagers were charged with the 1989 rape and beating of a female investment banker jogging in Central Park. The attack became a national symbol of urban mayhem at a time when New York City's murder rate was nearing its historical peak.
The teens said they were coerced into confessing their involvement in the attack. Their convictions were overturned in 2002 after convicted murderer and serial rapist Matias Reyes confessed to committing the crime alone, and DNA linked him to it.

Fairstein observed the boys' 1989 interrogation, conducted by another prosecutor and police. She didn't personally try the case.
Since its collapse, she has denied the teens were coerced and has defended authorities' conduct in the case, explored in a 2013 documentary by Ken Burns.
The city reached a roughly $41 million settlement with the five the next year, while not admitting any wrongdoing.

"Good and Bad" (2017 version) was the result of a collaboration between Fang Fang and WXPN radio host Dan Reed who designed an alternate arrangement based on Fang Fangs' 2015 version of the song. After hearing "Good and Bad" on Fang Fangs' 2015 album "For Fans of Fang Fang" Reed suggested changes be made to the song with the goal of creating a more "radio friendly" composition and improving the overall quality of the recording. "Good and Bad (2017 version) features extended chorus' and an alternate beginning and end to the song as compared to the original recording.

Aubrey McKnight writes the Ladies of the Abberly Theater series for Boroughs Publishing Group, with a new release coming soon: A Family for Christmas: An Abberly Theater Christmas Story.
Romance. In a vaudeville type theater in Victorian London, no less. I'm not sure how I came up with the idea. At the time I was working on a Victorian mystery, and had hit a particularly uncrackable writer's block. So I set that manuscript aside and began to consider a complete rewrite or perhaps just let it stew for a while. I chose the latter. I hate plotting. I hate rewrites even more.
However, I knew I needed to keep my writing focus going during the break, so my critique partner (Lark Eden aka Quinn Langston) suggested I try writing a short story. Something more than a magazine article, but not a full blown novel. Something to keep my mind working and my hands busy typing (and out of the cookie jar) while the mystery worked itself out. My critique partner and I do that; dare and push each other. A lot.
Iphigenia and the Showman was the first book in the Ladies of the Abberly Theater series. A female magician and the theater owner who makes her a star. It's in Iphigenia that we meet seamstress and former stage performer, Madelyn LeCavalier, one of the characters around which A Family for Christmas centers. At the height of her popularity, Madelyn (featured in book 2: Maddy and the Gambler) was attacked by a zealous fan. The attack left her profoundly disfigured and unable to bear children.
In A Family for Christmas, Madelyn is dealing with her friends, Iphigenia and Calliope (featured in book 3: Calliope and the Viscount) starting families. She knows her husband, Will, would make a wonderful father and mourns the fact she won't be able to give him children of their own. Enter two homeless, motherless children, Thomas and his sister Annie. Madelyn has never considered adoption, much less discussed it with her husband, but these children need a home and Will is ready to be a father. Everything is wonderful…until their abusive biological father, who had abandoned them just before their mother died, returns from sea. He wants them back, if only to have someone to fetch bottles and take out his anger on. Will he take the children away from the only security they've known since their mother died? Or can Madelyn and Will convince a judge to allow them to keep the children safe from harm?

October is one of my favorite months of the year. The changing of the leaves is at the top of the list, but another reason I like it so much is that by this time of the year I've had all the salad I can stand. And I'm dying for some comfort food. Food that simmers for hours, makes the house smell like home, and fills your stomach and your heart. Okay, and sometimes your arteries, but we do try to update the recipes.
Summer heat doesn't really lend itself to heavy food, even though using the oven isn't the big deal it used to be. At this time of year breakfast muffins and savory dinners compete for time and attention in our house. Beef stew and fresh biscuits, or homemade chicken pot pie. Roast turkey isn't just for Thanksgiving anymore. I've got one in the fridge right now for dinner on Friday. We'll have it along with some fresh mashed potatoes.
I think mashed potatoes are my favorite fall food. We only have them a couple times during the year. I would forgo dessert for serving of a good mashed potato casserole.
Do you have a favorite food you look forward to having in the fall?
Confession: I read my first horror novel at nine. And it was The Shining, by Stephen King. My daughter is now nine and while she loves to read Goosebumps, I believe I would draw the line before anything by Stephen King. But, I was an avid reader, there weren't many books around, and my mom loves horror.
My point is that I cut my reading teeth on Stephen King. Now, though, I find horror books (and movies) to be too depressing. I prefer the happy endings in romance novels. But, I know that lots of people disagree about horror. Especially in October. I guess not watching scary movies in October is like not watching A Christmas Story in December–something I do faithfully.
So, from someone who is easily scared but knows a thing or two about horror, here are my top three favorite movie boogeymen.
He's scary. He is so freaking scary. The only way to be safe is not sleep. That is not only basically impossible, but will cause hallucinations after about three days. They even did an experiment in which they dropped a cat into a tub of water every time it entered REM (dream) sleep. The cat died. Granted, this is horrific in it's own right and they'd never be allowed to conduct an experiement like this today, but we cannot not sleep.
And so, eventually, this baddy is going to get you.
The unstoppable, malicious killer. Who cares if he was wronged in his life? There's something so essentially frightening about someone who kills in cruelly inventive ways and will not be stopped. Not ever. Oh, you may be the one person who survives. But, come next movie… ice pick to the brain.
Another cruel little killer. Except not only will he kill all the people you love, he frames you for it and he wants to displace your soul and take over your body. And no one will believe you. I think that's the scariest part of all. How awful would it be to try to warn someone you love that they're in danger (or someone investigating you for murder) only to see them die?
Also, Jennifer Tilly is his doll bride. So much win there.
If you've never seen these movies, which took on epic proportion with sequels, I strongly suggest you check them out in the spookiest month of the year.
Who are your favorite supernatural villains?
Julie Jarnagin: Hey guys. Can you believe it's already October? This year is flying by. In honor of the new season, I thought I'd share a few things I love about this month.
Sweater Weather – I love when I can pull my boots and cozy sweaters out of my closet.
Family Traditions – Taking the kids to the pumpkin patch, trick-or-treating…I get to be a kid again.
Coffee – Of course I drink coffee all year round, but there's something extra satisfying about a cup of warm coffee this time of year – especially a vanilla latte from my favorite coffee place downtown.
Gone Girl – I just finished the book, so I'm extremely excited to see the movie (although, I have a love/hate relationship with the novel. If you've read it, you'll probably know what I'm talking about.) A coworker, and I have recently started a tradition of reading the books that are going to come out as movies and going together. It's a fun girls' night out.
What are your favorite things about October?

7 New (2017) Papers Forecast Global Cooling, Another Little Ice Age Will Begin Soon
By: Marc Morano - Climate DepotDecember 28, 2017 10:25 AM
Via: http://notrickszone.com/2017/12/28/7-new-2017-papers-forecast-global-cooling-another-little-ice-age-will-begin
By Kenneth Richard on 28. December 2017
Temperatures To Decrease 0.5°C-0.7°C
Due To Low Sunspots, Solar Minimum
Image Source: Abdussamatov, 2012
During 2017, 120 papers linking historical and modern climate change to variations in solar activity and its modulators (clouds, cosmic rays) have been published in scientific journals.
It has been increasingly established that low solar activity (fewer sunspots) and increased cloud cover (as modulated by cosmic rays) are highly associated with a cooling climate.
In recent years, the Earth has unfortunately left a period of very high solar activity, the Modern Grand Maximum. Periods of high solar activity correspond to multi-decadal- to centennial-scale warming.
Solar scientists are now increasingly forecasting a period of very low activity that will commence in the next few years (by around 2020 to 2025). This will lead to climate cooling, even Little Ice Age conditions.
Thirteen recently-published papers forecasting global cooling are listed below.
Sun et al., 2017
The contrast analysis between the periodic movement of the planetary system and the periodicity of solar activity shows that the two phenomena exhibit a period change rule of 179.5 years. Moreover, orderly orbits correspond to high periods of solar activity and disorderly orbits correspond to low periods of solar activity. … Therefore, a certain relationship exists between the movement of the planetary system, solar activity, and global climate change.
The movement of the planetary system can thus be used to interpret the periodic trends of the movement of the Sun and global climate change. … A period change rule of a 179.5-year cycle is observed. This period change rule is consistent with the change that takes place once every 2 centuries (about 160 to 210 years) for solar activity and global climate change.
The Sun is headed into a grand minimum, that is, a period of unusually low solar activity. A relatively low number of or nonexistent sunspots are observed during the protracted solar minimum. Since 1000 AD, there have been six protracted solar minimums, namely, the Oort minimum (1040–1080 AD), Medieval Minor minimum (1150 1200 AD), Wolf minimum (1270–1350 AD), Spörer minimum (1430–1520 AD), Maunder minimum (1620–1710 AD), and Dalton minimum (1787–1843 AD). [A]ll the orbits of the planetary system are in disorder during the six protracted solar minimums.
The planet juncture index and heliocentric longitude are also in disorder during the six protracted solar minimums. The numerical simulation results show a high number of sunspots and strong solar activity [warming] during the orderly orbit and a low number of sunspots, low solar activity, and the occurrence of a protracted solar minimum or little ice age during the disorderly orbit. … [T]he results indicate that the solar minimum and little ice ages correspond to the planetary system's disorderly orbit.
Nurtaev and Nurtaev, 2017
A reconstruction of total solar irradiance since 1610 to the present estimated by various authors an increase in the total solar irradiance since the Maunder Minimum of about 1.3 W/m² [2]. This is a huge amount of energy, taking into account the Earth's total land mass.
More sunspots deliver more energy to the atmosphere, by way of increased brightness of the Sun and solar wind what tend to warm the Earth. Solar activity affects the Earth in many ways, some which we are still coming to understand.
In accordance with National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) forecasting the solar cycles 24 and 25 will be very weak: averaged sunspot numbers W-35 for the solar cycle 24 and for the solar cycle 25 less than W-35 , NGDC (2009). Total Solar Irradiance will equal -1365. (23 cycle -1366). This actually will lead to a decrease of the temperature on 0.5 – 0.7°C in both averaged solar cycles, in Geneva will decrease to 1.5 °C. Temperature of air will be lower in the Northern Hemisphere. Precipitation rate in Caucasus will be more in average on 100-150 mm in dependence from location.
The World Ocean level also will be lower, due to more snow and glacier accumulation on continents.
Yndestad and Solheim, 2017
Deterministic models based on the stationary periods confirm the results through a close relation to known long solar minima since 1000 A.D. and suggest a modern maximum period from 1940 to 2015.
The model computes a new Dalton-type sunspot minimum from approximately 2025 to 2050 and a new Dalton-type period TSI minimum from approximately 2040 to 2065.
Periods with few sunspots are associated with low solar activity and cold climate periods. Periods with many sunspots are associated with high solar activity and warm climate periods. … Studies that employ cosmogenic isotope data and sunspot data indicate that we are currently leaving a grand activity maximum, which began in approximately 1940 and is now declining (Usoskin et al., 2003; Solanki et al., 2004; Abreu et al., 2008). Because grand maxima and minima occur on centennial or millennial timescales, they can only be investigated using proxy data, i.e., solar activity reconstructed from 10Be and 14C time-calibrated data. The conclusion is that the activity level of the Modern Maximum (1940–2000) is a relatively rare event, with the previous similarly high levels of solar activity observed 4 and 8 millennia ago (Usoskin et al., 2003). Nineteen grand maxima have been identified by Usoskin et al. (2007) in an 11,000-yr series.
Twenty-seven grand minima are identified with a total duration of 1900 years, or approximately 17% of the time during the past 11,500 years (Usoskin et al., 2007). An adjustment-free reconstruction of the solar activity over the last three millennia confirms four grand minima since the year 1000: Maunder (1640–1720), Spörer (1390–1550), Wolf (1270–1340) and Oort (1010–1070) (Usoskin et al., 2007). The Dalton minimum (1790–1820) does not fit the definition of a grand minimum; it is more likely a regular deep minimum that is observed once per century or an immediate state between the grand minimum and normal activity (Usoskin, 2013). Temperature reconstructions for the last millennium for the Northern Hemisphere (Ljungquist, 2010) show a medieval maximum temperature at approximately the year 1000 and a cooling period starting at approximately 1350, immediately after the Wolf minimum and lasting nearly 500 years, with the coldest period in what is referred to as the Little Ice Age (LIA) at the time of the Maunder minimum. A cold period was also observed during the time of the Dalton minimum. The Maunder and the Dalton minima are associated with less solar activity and colder climate periods. In this investigation, minimum solar activity periods may serve as a reference for the identified minimum irradiations in the TSI oscillations.
All solar indices have maxima between 1920 and 1940; the majority of the maxima occur in the 1930s. The Hoyt-Schatten irradiance model has been calibrated and extended with the newest version of ACRIM TSI observations (e.g. Scafetta and Willson, 2014, Fig. 16); it is employed in this analysis. In the following section, this reconstruction is referred to as TSI HS. A mostly rural Northern Hemisphere composite temperature series 1880–2013 shows strong correlation with the TSI-HS reconstruction, which indicates a strong solar influence on the temperature of the Northern Hemisphere (Soon et al., 2015). … A visual inspection of the TSI wavelet spectrum reveals the dominant periods in the TSI data series in the time window between 1700 and 2013. The long wavelet period has a maximum in 1760, 1840, 1930, and 2000, with a mean gap of approximately 80 years.
Lüdecke and Weiss, 2017
The Sun as climate driver is repeatedly discussed in the literature but proofs are often weak. In order to elucidate the solar influence, we have used a large number of temperature proxies worldwide to construct a global temperature mean G7 over the last 2000 years. The Fourier spectrum of G7 shows the strongest components as ~1000-, ~460-, and ~190 – year periods whereas other cycles of the individual proxies are considerably weaker. The G7 temperature extrema coincide with the Roman, medieval, and present optima as well as the well-known minimum of AD 1450 during the Little Ice Age. We have constructed by reverse Fourier transform a representation of G7 using only these three sine functions, which shows a remarkable Pearson correlation of 0.84 with the 31-year running average of G7 [global temperature over the last 2000 years]. The three cycles are also found dominant in the production rates of the solar-induced cosmogenic nuclides 14C and 10Be, most strongly in the ~190 – year period being known as the De Vries/Suess cycle. By wavelet analysis, a new proof has been provided that at least the ~190-year climate cycle has a solar origin.
G7 [global temperature over the last 2000 years], and likewise the sine representations have maxima of comparable size at AD 0, 1000, and 2000. We note that the temperature increase of the late 19th and 20th century is represented by the harmonic temperature representation, and thus is of pure multiperiodic nature [it is of natural solar origin].
It can be expected that the periodicity of G7, lasting 2000 years so far, will persist also for the foreseeable future. It predicts a temperature drop from present to AD 2050, a slight rise from 2050 to 2130, and a further drop from AD 2130 to 2200, upper panel, green and red curves).
Zharkova et al., 2017
Using a summary curve of two eigen vectors of solar magnetic field oscillations derived with Principal Components Analysis (PCA) from synoptic maps for solar cycles 21-24 as a proxy of solar activity, we extrapolate this curve backwards three millennia revealing 9 grand cycles lasting 350-400 years each. The summary curve shows a remarkable resemblance to the past sunspot and terrestrial activity: grandminima – Maunder Minimum (1645-1715 AD), Wolf minimum (1280-1350 AD), Oort minimum (1010-1050 AD) and Homer minimum (800 900 BC); grand maxima – modern warm period (1990-2015), medieval warm period (900-1200 AD), Roman warm period (400-10 BC) and others. We verify the extrapolated activity curve by the pre-telescope observations of large sunspots with naked eye, by comparing the observed and simulated butterfly diagrams for Maunder Minimum (MM), by a maximum of the terrestrial temperature and extremely intense terrestrial auroras seen in the past grand cycle occurred in 14-16 centuries.
We confirm the occurrence of upcoming Modern grand minimum in 2020-2053, which will have a shorter duration (3 cycles) and, thus, higher solar activity compared to MM. … One of the examples of fitting incorrectly the oscillating function with a linear regression approach is shown by Akasofu (2010) (see her Fig. 9), when explaining the modern era recovery of the Earth from the little ice period and the incorrect use of a linear part of the temperature variations for the extremely incorrect prediction of the terrestrial temperature growth in the next century.
Stozhkov et al., 2017
One of the most important problems facing humanity is finding the physical mechanism responsible for global climate change, particularly global warming on the Earth. … Summation of these periodicities for the future (after 2015) allows us to forecast the next few decades. The solid heavy line in Fig. 1 shows that cooling (a drop in ΔT values) is expected in the next few decades.
Figure 2 shows the dependence between the annual average changes ΔT in the global temperature in the near-surface air layer and charged particle flux N in the interval of altitudes from 0.3 to 2.2 km. We can see there is a connection between values ΔТ [temperature] and N [charged particle flux]: with an increase in cosmic ray flux N, the values of changes of global temperature decrease. This link is expressed by the relation ΔT = –0.0838N + 4.307 (see the dashed line in Fig. 2), where the ΔT values are given in °C, and the N values (in particle/min units) are related to the charged particle flux measured at an altitude of 1.3 km. The correlation coefficient of the line with the experimental data is r = –0.62 ± 0.08. … Our results could be connected with the mechanism of charged particle fluxes influencing the Earth's climate; it includes, first of all, the effect charged particles have on the accelerated formation of centers of water vapor condensation, and thus on the increase in global cloud cover. The total cloud cover is directly connected with the global temperature of the near surface air layer.

The coming cooling: Usefully accurate climate forecasting for policy makers
This paper argues that the methods used by the establishment climate science community are not fit for purpose and that a new forecasting paradigm should be adopted. Earth's climate is the result of resonances and beats between various quasi-cyclic processes of varying wavelengths. It is not possible to forecast the future, unless we have a good understanding of where the earth is in time in relation to the current phases of those different interacting natural quasi periodicities.
Evidence is presented specifying the timing and amplitude of the natural 60 ± year and, more importantly, 1000 year periodicities (observed emergent behaviors) that are so obvious in the temperature record. Data related to the solar climate driver are discussed and the solar cycle 22 low in the neutron count (high solar activity) in 1991 is identified as a solar activity millennial peak and correlated with the millennial peak – inversion point – in the RSS temperature trend in about 2004. The cyclic trends are projected forward and predict a probable general temperature decline in the coming decades and centuries. Estimates of the timing and amplitude of the coming cooling are made.
If the real climate outcomes follow a trend which approaches the near term forecasts of this working hypothesis, the divergence between the IPCC forecasts and those projected by this paper will be so large by 2021 as to make the current, supposedly actionable, level of confidence in the IPCC forecasts untenable.
The global millennial temperature rising trend seen in Figure 11 from 1984 to the peak and trend inversion point in the Hadcrut3 data at 2003/4 is the inverse correlative of the Tropical Cloud Cover fall from 1984 to the Millennial trend change at 2002. The lags in these trends from the solar activity peak at 1991 (Figure 10) are 12 and 11 years, respectively. These correlations suggest possible teleconnections between the GCR flux, clouds, and global temperatures.
Unless the range and causes of natural variation, as seen in the natural temperature quasi-periodicities, are known within reasonably narrow limits, it is simply not possible to even begin to estimate the effect of anthropogenic CO2 on climate. Given the lack of any empirical CO2-climate connection reviewed earlier and the inverse relationship between CO2 and temperature [during the Holocene, when CO2 rose as temperatures declined] seen in Figure 2, and for the years 2003.6–2015.2 in Figure 4, during which CO2 rose 20 ppm, the simplest and most rational working hypothesis is that the solar 'activity' increase is the chief driver of the global temperature increase since the LIA.
Torres and Guzmán, 2016
Conclusions Based on our results, we propose the use of the Wolf's Number Oscillation Index (WNOI) – as a more uniform alternative to the ONI – in the range over 30 and below -30. The analysis of the material presented and the arguments discussed allows us to define a possible relationship between phenomena related to Solar Cycle, the ENSO, climatic conditions, as well as some criteria for the establishment of public policies for preservation and remediation of the environment in the long run. We can conclude that solar activity oscillations impact the earth climatic conditions to such a extent that they become measurable only in the long run. The magnitude of the Solar Cycle – from 7 to 17 and a mean of 11.2 years – seems to support this statement. Based on the similarities of the Solar Cycles 5 and 24 we can expect a longer period of cold weather for the years 2022 y/o 2034, corresponding to the Solar Cycles 24 and 25.
Sanchez-Sesma, 2016
This empirical modeling of solar recurrent patterns has also provided a consequent multi-millennial-scale experimental forecast, suggesting a solar decreasing trend toward grand (super) minimum conditions for the upcoming period, AD 2050–2250 (AD 3750–4450).
Solar activity (SA) has non-linear characteristics that influence multiple scales in solar processes (Vlahos and Georgoulis, 2004). For instance, millennia-scale solar oscillations have been recently detected, like those of about 6000 and 2400 years, by Xapsos and Burke (2009) and Charvátová (2000), respectively, with important and interesting influences in the near, past and future climate. These millennialscale patterns of reconstructed SA variability could justify epochs of low activity, such as the Maunder minimum, as well as epochs of enhanced activity, such as the current Modern Maximum, and the Medieval maximum in the 12th century.
We can conclude that the evidence provided is sufficient to justify a complete updating and reviewing of present climate models to better consider these detected natural recurrences and lags in solar processes.
Evans, 2016
Four manifestations of unconventional climate influences are identified, each with at least as much effect on surface temperature as the direct heating effect of changes in total solar irradiance (TSI): external-driven albedo; countervailing cooling during TSI peaks, implied by the absence of corresponding peaks in the surface temperature record (the "notch"); the long-term sensitivity of surface warming to TSI increases; and the delay of ∼11 years between changes in underlying or smoothed TSI and the corresponding changes in surface temperature.
We hypothesize these are all manifestations of a single force whose exact mechanism is unknown but whose crucial properties can be deduced: "Force X" modulates the Earth's albedo, and lags TSI by one sunspot cycle or half the ∼22-year cycle of the Sun's hydromagnetic dynamo. A second, alternative hypothesis is of "force N" for the notch and "force D" for the delayed force causing the other three manifestations. The notch-delay solar model can explain the global warming of the last few decades and centuries in terms of force X/D. Several solar indicators including TSI peaked ∼1986, but surface warming continued until ∼1998, which is explained by the delay.
The notch-delay hypothesis predicts sustained and significant global cooling starting sometime in the period 2017 to 2022, of ∼0.3°C but perhaps milder (TSI estimates vary), as force X/D falls off in response to the marked decline in underlying TSI from around 2004—one of the three biggest and fastest falls in TSI since sunspot records began in 1610.
Abdussamatov, 2015
A long-term negative deviation of the Earth's average annual energy balance from the equilibrium state is dictating corresponding variations in it's the energy state. As a result, the Earth will have a negative average annual energy balance also in the future. This will lead to the beginning of the decreasing in the Earth's temperature and of the epoch of the Little Ice Age after the maximum phase of the 24-th solar cycle approximately since the end of 2014.
The influence of the consecutive chain of the secondary feedback effects (the increase in the Bond albedo and the decrease in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere due to cooling) will lead to an additional reduction of the absorbed solar energy and reduce the greenhouse effect. The start of the TSI's Grand Minimum is anticipated in the solar cycle 27±1 in 2043±11 and the beginning of the phase of deep cooling of the 19th Little Ice Age for the past 7,500 years around 2060±11.
Thus, the long term variations of the solar constant (allowing for their direct and secondary impacts, with the latter being due to feedback effects) are the major and essential cause of climate changes because the Earth's climate variation is a function of longterm imbalance between the solar radiation energy incoming into the upper layers of the Earth's atmosphere and Earth's total energy outgoing back to space.
Mörner, 2015
By about 2030-2040, the Sun will experience a new grand solar minimum. This is evident from multiple studies of quite different characteristics: the phasing of sunspot cycles, the cyclic observations of North Atlantic behaviour over the past millennium, the cyclic pattern of cosmogenic radionuclides in natural terrestrial archives, the motions of the Sun with respect to the centre of mass, the planetary spin-orbit coupling, the planetary conjunction history and the general planetary-solar-terrestrial interaction. During the previous grand solar minima—i.e. the Spörer Minimum (ca 1440-1460), the Maunder Minimum (ca 1687-1703) and the Dalton Minimum (ca 1809- 1821)—the climatic conditions deteriorated into Little Ice Age periods.
Lüdecke et al., 2015
The Earth's climate shows a rather regular oscillation of ∼ 200 year period during the last millennia. However, frequency, phase, and strength of the oscillation are found to vary in different time series of temperatures and for different times (see Figs. 4–6, and 5 8). Nonetheless, the relative historic stability of the cycle suggests that the periodic nature of the climate will persist also for the foreseeable future.
Figure 9 shows the Tsine representation from AD 1800 to AD 2100 derived from the ∆Tsine representation by a π/2 phase shift. It gives correctly the 1850–1900 temperature minimum and shows a temperature drop from present to ∼ AD 2080, the latter comparable with the minimum of 1870, as already predicted in the studies (Steinhilber and Beer, 2013; Liu et al., 2011) on the grounds of solar activity data alone.

x^2 \equiv a \pmod {2^L}.
$$
Is it possible to conclude that there is number $C> 0$ such that the number of solutions modulo $2^L$ to the congruence is at most $C$ for any $L$? Thank you.

A: Hint: if $x^2 - 1 = (x+1)(x-1)$ is divisible by $2^L$ with $L \ge 3$, exactly one of $x+1$ and $x-1$ is divisible by $2^{L-1}$.

A: Let us trace along an argument inspired by the proof that $a \equiv 1 \pmod{8}$ has square roots in $\mathbb{Z}_2$, in order to find out the number of square roots $\pmod{2^L}$.
First, since $a$ is odd and is a square, we know that if $L \ge 3$, then $a \equiv 1 \pmod{8}$; say $a = 8b + 1$.  Then for $n^2 \equiv a \pmod{2^L}$, we must have $n$ odd, say $n = 2m + 1$.  Then
\begin{align*}
(2m+1)^2 \equiv 8b+1 \pmod{2^L} & \Leftrightarrow 4m^2 + 4m + 1 \equiv 8b+1 \pmod{2^L} \\
& \Leftrightarrow m^2 + m \equiv 2b \pmod{2^{L-2}}.
\end{align*}
Now, by Hensel's lemma, since $p(x) = x^2 + x$ is a polynomial with $p(0), p(1) \equiv 0 \equiv 2b \pmod{2}$ and $p'(0), p'(1) \equiv 1 \pmod{2}$, for any given $b$, there are exactly two solutions of $m^2 + m \equiv 2b \pmod{2^{L-2}}$ for $m \pmod{2^{L-2}}$: one with $m$ even, and one with $m$ odd.  Now, each of these two solutions determines $n \pmod{2^{L-1}}$; we thus get at most 4 solutions $\pmod{2^L}$.
(And in fact, this reflects the comment by J. W. Tanner that if $n$ is a solution, then the general solutions are $\pm n$ and $2^{L-1} \pm n$.  To see this, note that if $m_0$ is one of the roots of $m^2 + m \equiv 2b \pmod{2^{L-2}}$, then $-1 - m_0$ is also a root.  This also implies there are exactly 4 solutions in all cases with $L \ge 3$, since $n$ odd and $L \ge 3$ implies all these values are distinct.)

the banners will be travelling south again in just a months time , to connect up with our southern brothers , handover to occur at the New England ride event .
martin , do we have any local swap meets on the radar this month ? I have a feeling that the formally Gatton swap meet is now held at Laidley , could be on the radar ...maybe 27th - 28th of October ?
if so ...does this sound like a suitable place for us to get together ?
but open to other options like Saturday meet .
I'm free the weekends of 20 & 21 October, also 27 & 28th. I should be back from Mexico by the 19th. It'd be great to meet up with newer members since I departed our land girt by sea six years ago.
Charlie Laidley swap meet is on the 27th and 28th of Oct. However I am heading off on 19th of Oct for approximately 4 weeks of driving holiday. Driving from here down to Vic to visit rellies and mates, then off to Tas for a couple of weeks. Up until my departure I'm available every day except Tuesdays and Fridays.
but for others ….whats the collective thoughts ?
No worries Charlie, you wouldn't happen to have a spare fuel cap in your stash. I went to fill up the other day and couldn't open the cap. I did the hole drill trick, and when I pulled it apart I found one of the two engagement pins had broken off. I managed to drill it out and glued in a cut down pop rivet shaft. It should do until I find a replacement.
I guess your after a new cylinder with the pins at the bottom ?
Charlie I'm in, where do you want to meet in Dayboro. The normal spot seems to be the bakery.
maybe over mount Mee if the weather holds ?
Yep, that should work. I know where the bakery is.
There are quite a few eateries at the North Pine country park where the guild is located.
likely just me and martin again ????
rain all the way home ...but good to be out and about ...thanks guys !!!!
Rain what rain?? Although it was humid enough to form large drops which fell occasionally. We had a lovely picnic under the bakeries umbrella. This was followed by a lecture in brick fault finding and how to load and tie down a motorcycle onto the back of a tilt tray. RACQ response time was a blistering 3 hours.
Gerty is looking really well, Charlie.
By the way, did I tell you what colour is in that tin of mine for the project?
I will be rolling into the SE Qld region on or about the 27th of this month and would love to catch up. Prolly hit the New England highway going north but want to traverse Bells Line, the Putty & Thunderbolts again after leaving this area (in Victoria now).

hope you get to do the Oxley either up or down from port Macquarie to Walcha ...still on my to do list ...the going up that is !!
@Saxon7 wrote: Gerty is looking really well, Charlie.
no Sean ...not yet ...but may see it in the not too distant future , all being well ..ive booked a few extra days off work for some exploring the new England area before and after the tablelands ride ..
not sure on plans just yet but perhaps pending clear sunshine Saturday ???
What time on Saturday the 27th do you fellas reckon you'll meet at Laidley Swap? I'm on a much tighter schedule than anticipated due to time spent with family in Clunes. I've had to cut short extended plans for rides and visits in Victoria and will likely be rolling into Queensland via the New England highway on Saturday morning.
What time do you want to leave Brizzy, Charlie? A mate of mine is coming down from Toowoomba who I hope to catch up with.
Yep, Rick & I will be arriving Laidley before ten AM if the creek don't rise, good lord willin'.
Three K's take a break after escaping the Lockyer Valley's humidity up in the tall trees on the Top of the Range above Toowoomba beyond Highfields.
Sorry I missed it, currently tin topping in Vic. Daughter and Son in Law house sitting and awaiting a few parts I've managed to score along the way.
Don't listen to Martin. It's another magnificent weekend of weather down south.
Those Queenslanders look a bit heat stressed. Even TWB is wearing a hat.
That camping reserve looks pretty good Charlie.
Camped in Esk in the end. Its proximity to food & beverage dictated. At 7AM after a sound sleep I was on the road and by a quarter to eight approaching Mt Glorious. Jeez, this place has grown (crowded).
Reckon I'd easily win dual awards of oldest moto and most insect covered, such was the glisten off most of the bikes.
Big Bro wants your cash.

Saturday we went to watch the grand daughter at a cricket clinic. In the Latrobe valley temperature was 14C and windy. We took shelter in the scorers box.
Heading down to Melbourne from LV this morning it started at 11C warmed up to 12C just before Melbourne. Probably got to about 18C in Melbourne. Crossing to Tas tomorrow didn't book a cabin going as deck cargo.

Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson, who co-chaired the White House's deficit-reduction commission last year, said Tuesday the U.S. could face a destabilizing fiscal crisis in two years or even sooner.
At a Senate Budget Committee hearing on Tuesday, both men chided Congress for focusing so much time and energy on cutting domestic discretionary spending, which makes up about 12% of government spending, and not focusing enough on entitlement programs and the tax code.
The U.S. has $14.1 trillion in debt and is projected to run a $1.65 trillion deficit in 2011. Debt levels are projected to grow rapidly, which many believe will force the U.S. to borrow more money from other countries.
"This problem is going to happen long before my grandchildren grow up," said Mr. Bowles, who was White House chief of staff during the Clinton administration. "This is a problem we are going to have to face up to it maybe two years, maybe a little less, maybe a little more."
He said the crisis is "predictable" and will take place when "our bankers over there in Asia begin to believe we are not going to be solid on our debt, that we are not going to be able to meet our obligations. Just stop and think a minute what happens if they stop buying our debt. What happens to interest rates? What happens to the U.S. economy? The markets will absolutely devastate us if we don't step up to this problem. The problem is real. The solutions are painful, and we have to act."
Mr. Simpson, a former Republican senator from Wyoming, said, "I think it will come before two years."
Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the ranking Republican on the panel, said "the remarks you have just made are very sobering."

Report: Over 100 Fake Domains Registered Relating to Facebook's Libra
Cyber threat intelligence firm Digital Shadows has reportedly discovered over 100 fake domains relating to Facebook's forthcoming stablecoin Libra.
Cyber threat intelligence firm Digital Shadows has discovered over 100 fake domains registered relating to Facebook's forthcoming stablecoin Libra, the Independent reported on July 1
As of June 19, researchers at Digital Shadows had found over 100 domains registered relating to Libra and several dozen referring to the associated digital wallet Calibra, with some of them containing malicious content. The firm divided the websites into two groups — those impersonating Libra's official website, and those promoting scams.
"Instead of relying on media buzz and hype around the brand, these types of scams instead aim to convince victims that they are on a legitimate website, and therefore more likely to trust it with their personal and financial data," said Alex Guirakhoo, a strategic intelligence analyst at Digital Shadows.
Scammers reportedly use Greek, Cyrillic, and other alphabets that resemble the Roman one used in English to look like the official domain by, for example, replacing a lower-case "a" with the identical Cyrillic character "a."
Digital Shadows identified one website that offered visitors to purchase Libra with ether (ETH) with a 25% bonus. At least six of the domains reportedly copied the Libra and Calibra website by means of the aforementioned homographic technique. Guirakhoo said that "for the most convincing of sites, it can be nigh-impossible to determine which is legitimate and which is fake."
As reported yesterday, Facebook removed ads for a bitcoin (BTC) scam that masqueraded as posts by the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, after thousands of investors handed over personal information and money to criminals based in Ukraine and Argentina.
In late June, data from Google Trends' search analytics resource indicated that searches for bitcoin were continuing their ascent the week after the unveiling of Facebook's new cryptocurrency Libra, even as searches for Libra itself have tapered off since June 18 — the date Libra's white paper was published.

Working meeting with Novgorod Region Governor Sergei Mitin
Mr Mitin briefed Vladimir Putin on the region's socioeconomic situation, measures to develop mass sport, and plans to open a museum dedicated to composer Sergei Rachmaninov in the region.
Mr Mitin Mitin Sergei said that industrial growth came to 112 percent in 2015. One of the region's biggest enterprises, the Akron plant, will launch Russia's biggest ammonia production facility this year. In the sport sector, the region opened the Whitewater Slalom Centre last year and built a football stadium.
Mr Mitin noted that the estate where Sergei Rachmaninov (1873–1943) was born was located 30 kilometres from Novgorod. The composer's mother and grandmother are buried in the region, and his name has been given to streets, a college, and an international music festival held in Novgorod. The region has now proposed establishing an international Rachmaninov centre near the composer's birthplace. Many Russian musicians have expressed their support for the idea.

The Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) have formally announced that they will vacate their London premises at One Portland Place, London, UK this month. All members directly affected by the move were informed in early September.
IChemE's lease on One Portland Place will come to an end on 24 November 2018 providing a timely opportunity to reduce the Institution's spatial footprint. With the advent of webinars and online meetings, room utilisation has changed significantly in the past decade, resulting in a significant decrease in demand.
To allow the Institution time to complete all the dilapidations all meetings, hosted by IChemE staff or members, going forward will be held at alternative venues.
Permanent IChemE staff currently based at One Portland Place will vacate the premises and be relocated to new accommodation at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) offices at One Birdcage Walk, London, UK. The location in Westminster is also home to amongst others, the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) and the Institution of Railway Signal Engineers (IRSE).
One Birdcage Walk has also been identified as a suitable space to hold future IChemE meetings and events. Staff and members are also able to host meetings at a choice of three other venues including: the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) at One Great George Street in Westminster; the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE) at Bastwick Street in East London; and the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3) at Euston Road in Fitzrovia.
The move will therefore provide IChemE with access to excellent facilities at a number of prime London locations and improve collaborative working with sister engineering Institutions.
"The move from One Portland Place has been in the pipeline since my arrival 18 months ago. We are now at the stage of making the final arrangements, and I'm pleased to announce our move to co-locate with the IMechE at One Birdcage Walk today.
Members interested in booking a venue for upcoming meetings and events related to IChemE business should get in touch with their IChemE staff point of contact, or email membersupport@icheme.org for more information.

Home Health Care Home health company Mavencare expands to Boston
Home health company Mavencare expands to Boston
Mavencare, a home care startup based in Toronto, has grown its U.S. presence by expanding its service coverage to Boston, Massachusetts.
The company harnesses technology to provide hospital-quality care to seniors in their own homes.
In a recent phone interview, Mavencare co-founder and CEO Adam Blackman explained how the startup's approach works.
First, it vets caregivers and matches selected applicants to specific patients based on their needs. During service appointments, caregivers use the Mavencare mobile app to collect data regarding each patient's medical conditions. The company then uses algorithms and machine learning capabilities that identify potential risks in the patient. "That triggers alerts for our nurses and social workers to actively get involved in real time to investigate and take action as required," Blackman said.
The goal is that this system will prevent avoidable adverse health events like a visit to the emergency department.
Patients' family members can also utilize the Mavencare app to receive updates on their loved one's health, give feedback and know when the caregiver signs in and out.
Blackman also discussed his startup's background story. A physician by training, he spent part of his career working for various health services organizations. When his 91-year-old grandmother fell ill and ended up in the hospital, Blackman experienced how challenging it was to ensure she was getting the best care.
Around that time, he met his co-founder Nukul Bhasin, an engineer who now serves as Mavencare president and CTO. He went through a situation similar to Blackman's. Bhasin's grandfather was sick, and his family was unable to adequately care for him at home.
Based on their shared experience, the duo decided to build Mavencare, which officially launched in 2015 in Toronto. In 2016, it expanded to New York City and has now spread to Boston.
Why select the capital of Massachusetts? "[W]e felt that that market had the most opportunities for partnerships across the healthcare system that would value the level of data collection and our ability to deliver better health outcomes for the elderly patients we serve," Blackman said.
Going forward, he noted that Mavencare's plan is to continue to expand in the Northeast.
The Toronto company is one of multiple organizations operating in the home health space. Companies like Honor and Hometeam are also addressing the nation's aging population. When asked what sets Mavencare apart from competitors, Blackman pointed to its use of technology to hire and match caregivers to patients and collect relevant patient data that can be used to identify potential risks.
