Today’s [Sep, 22,] equinox
signals the change of season, from summer to fall in the Northern Hemisphere
and in the Southern Hemisphere from winter to spring. But why do Earth’s
seasons change?
----Our seasons change due to our planet’s angle of tilt – 23.5
degrees – relative to our orbit around the sun. If Earth did not tilt at all,
but instead orbited exactly upright with respect to our orbit around the sun,
there would be minor variations in temperature throughout each year as Earth
moved slightly closer to the sun and then slightly farther away. And there
would be temperature differences from Earth’s equatorial region to the poles.
But, without Earth’s tilt, we’d lack Earth’s wonderful seasonal changes and our
association of them with the various times of year – associating a fresh

Asian stocks inching lower after
intraday rebound lifts U.S. equity markets
Published: Sept. 23, 2020 at 12:28 a.m. ET
Asian markets were mostly lower on Wednesday as investors
kept a wary eye on how the coronavirus pandemic will affect the economic
outlook.

The head of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, is pressing
Congress for more aid to support the economy’s recovery, citing worries over
the lingering impact of the pandemic.
“In fact, even as Fed Powell has sounded caution about the
strength and steadiness of a recovery — contingent on ‘keeping the virus under

U.S.-China tensions take center
stage at U.N. as Trump accuses Beijing of unleashing 'plague' September 22, 20205:12
PM
NEW
YORK (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump told the United Nations General
Assembly on Tuesday that China must be held accountable for having “unleashed”
COVID-19 on the world, prompting Beijing to accuse him of “lies” and abusing
the U.N. platform to provoke confrontation.
China’s President Xi Jinping struck a conciliatory tone in his
pre-recorded virtual address to the General Assembly, calling for enhanced
cooperation over the pandemic and stressing that China had no intention of
fighting “either a Cold War or a hot war with any country.”
But China’s U.N. ambassador Zhang Jun rejected Trump’s accusations
against China as “baseless” and said “lies repeated a thousand times are still
lies.”
Trump and Xi, leaders of the world’s two largest economies, laid out
competing visions at a time when relations have plunged to their worst level in
decades, with coronavirus tensions aggravating trade and technology disputes.
Trump, facing a November re-election battle with the United States
dealing with the world’s highest official number of deaths and infections from
the coronavirus, focused his speech on attacking China.
He accused Beijing of allowing people to leave China in the early stages
of the outbreak to infect the world while shutting down domestic travel.
“We must hold accountable the nation which unleashed this plague onto
the world, China,” he said in remarks taped on Monday and delivered remotely to
the General Assembly due to the pandemic.
“The Chinese government, and the World Health Organization – which is
virtually controlled by China – falsely declared that there was no evidence of
human-to-human transmission,” he said.
“Later, they falsely said people without symptoms would not spread the
disease ... The United Nations must hold China accountable for their actions.”
The president promised to distribute a vaccine and said: “We will defeat
the virus, and we will end the pandemic.”
Xi’s address contained what appeared to be an implicit rebuke to Trump,
calling for a global response to the coronavirus and a leading role for the
WHO, which the U.S. president has announced plans to leave.
“We should enhance solidarity and get through this together,” he said.
“We should follow the guidance of science, give full play to the leading
role of the World Health Organization and launch a joint international response
... Any attempt of politicizing the issue, or stigmatization, must be
rejected.”
----
Xi took an apparent swipe at Trump’s “America First” policy in a
statement on Monday to a meeting celebrating the U.N.’s 75th anniversary.
“No country has the right to dominate global affairs, control the
destiny of others, or keep advantages in development all to itself. Even less
should one be allowed to do whatever it likes and be the hegemon, bully or boss
of the world. Unilateralism is a dead end,” he said.

Huawei's supply chain has been
'attacked', says chairman September 23,
20204:03
AM
SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Huawei Technologies [HWT.UL] will
do everything it can to strengthen its supply chain which has been “attacked”,
its rotating Chairman Guo Ping said on Wednesday.
Guo was speaking at the Chinese smartphone and telecoms gear maker’s
annual Huawei Connect event in Shanghai that focuses on information and
communications technology.
He did not give details about the attack.
The company has been facing mounting pressure from the United States,
which last month further tightened restrictions to choke Huawei’s access to
commercially available chips.
In August, Richard Yu, the CEO of Huawei’s consumer business unit, said
that starting on September 15, the company would cease manufacturing its most
advanced chips under its Kirin line.
Those are the chips that power Huawei’s high-end phones. Concerns that
the company’s phone division will fold has led consumers to rush to purchase
the company’s handsets. Vendors say that prices have spiked by as much as 500
yuan ($73.69) for some devices in response to high demand.
The company had been stockpiling chips from various vendors in advance
of the restrictions’ implementation. Analysts expect its existing supply of
Kirin chips will run out next year.
The U.S. restrictions, however, allow for
companies to apply for a license from U.S. authorities in order to continue
supplying Huawei. Already, some businesses have attempted to make use of the
policy.
Intel has said it has received licenses to
supply certain products to Huawei. China's Semiconductor Manufacturing

Huawei unveiled earlier this month its new

has been barred from providing updates to the company.
The
operating system will first launch on internet-of-things devices and later on
smartphones toward the end of the year, the company has said.

Grand Chicago Hotel in
Foreclosure, a Symbol of Covid-19’s Toll on Hospitality Industry Thor Equities,
owner of the Palmer House Hilton, is in default on its $333.2 million first
mortgage, court papers say By Sept. 22, 2020 5:30 am ET
The Palmer House Hilton has been one of Chicago’s grandest
hotels for more than a century. Charles Dickens and Oscar Wilde were guests.
Frank Sinatra serenaded diners at its supper club. Over the past 15 years, the
owner spent $173 million to overhaul the hotel, modernizing most of the 1,641
rooms.
But today, the property faces a bank foreclosure and has
become one of the most potent symbols of the troubled hospitality industry during
Covid-19 .
Wells Fargo Bank said in court papers last month that the
hotel’s owner, real-estate investor Thor Equities, was in default on its $333.2
million first mortgage, making the property one of the first major foreclosure
actions during the pandemic. The Palmer House was worth $305.5 million shortly
before Wells Fargo filed its action, appraisers said.
A Thor spokeswoman declined to comment.

Hong Kong leader says cannot demand
rights protection for 12 arrested by China September 22,
20207:12 AM
HONG
KONG (Reuters) - Hong Kong has no legal basis to demand that any particular
rights be extended to 12 Hong Kong people detained in China as they tried to
flee by boat and they will have to face the law there, the city’s chief
executive said on Tuesday.
The 12 were arrested on Aug. 23 for illegal entry into mainland Chinese
waters after setting off from Hong Kong in a boat bound for self-ruled Taiwan
following a crackdown on pro-democracy activists in the former British colony.
Their failed bid to flee to Taiwan has highlighted the fears that many
people feel in semi-autonomous Hong Kong about what they see as China’s
determination to end any push for greater democracy in the financial hub.
Chinese police have said the 12 were suspected of illegal border
crossing. China’s foreign ministry has called them “separatists.”
Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam was asked at her weekly news
conference if she could ensure that the 12 would be afforded human rights
safeguards such as presumption of innocence, fair trial and legal
representation.
“We do not have the legal basis to do the things that you want us to
do,” she said.
Mainland authorities have said the legitimate rights of the 12 were
being protected according to the law.
China’s legal system is controlled by and loyal to the ruling Communist
Party, meaning courts do not usually challenge party or government accusations.
Lam said the 12 would have to face the law in mainland China before they
could return to Hong Kong to face justice for any crimes committed at home.
All 12 were suspected of crimes in Hong Kong related to anti-government
protests that erupted last year. Ten had been charged, released on bail and not
allowed to leave the city.
They are being detained in the neighbouring city of Shenzhen.
Their fate is being closely watched in Hong Kong amid apprehension about
Beijing’s greater control over the city especially since it imposed a national
security law in June.
Beijing and Hong Kong government say the law is aimed at tackling
subversion, separatism, terrorism and collusion with foreign forces.
Critics say it undermines the special status the city was guaranteed
when Britain handed it over to China under “one country, two systems” formula
in 1997.

Finally, how or not,) that 8 person US Supreme Court
might function. Well at least it’s not a court based in Hong Kong or Shenzhen.
Here's How The Supreme Court Will
Function With Eight Justices Leading Up To The Election The justices have already ruled on emergency
requests this year related to how states handle voting during the pandemic.
Posted on September 18, 2020, at
11:06 p.m. ET
WASHINGTON — The death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg leaves the US Supreme
Court with eight justices heading into the fall, setting the stage for possible
tie votes from the nation’s highest court during the most litigious election
cycle in recent history.
In one sense it’s a repeat of 2016, when the death of Justice
Antonin Scalia in February 2016 — and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s
decision to block then-president Barack Obama’s nominee — meant the court only
had eight justices during an election year.
But with the Nov. 3 election just seven weeks away, the
legal landscape is dramatically different than it was four years ago. Voting
rights groups and the Democratic Party are racing to court to expand mail-in
voting during the coronavirus
pandemic while President Donald Trump and the Republican Party are waging a
multimillion-dollar, multistate effort against it . To date,
there are more than 300 election-related cases pending in state and federal
courts, according to litigation tracking sites.
And beyond any legal fights over how Americans can vote
during a deadly pandemic leading up to November, there’s the specter of another
Bush v. Gore situation — an inconclusive election, with results delayed
by an overwhelming number of mail-in ballots, followed by weeks of fighting
over ballot counts and furious litigation by lawyers for Trump and Joe Biden
that winds up before the Supreme Court. Trump and Biden are reportedly amassing
teams of hundreds of lawyers and preparing to spend millions of dollars to
fight in court over the election.
In a July interview with Fox News Sunday , Trump was asked
if he would accept the results of the election if he lost. “I have to see,” he
replied.
Election-related cases are most likely to reach the Supreme
Court in the coming weeks as emergency applications, where the losing party in
a case asks the justices to immediately pause a ruling — known as a “stay” —
while an appeal moves forward. Each justice is assigned to handle emergency
applications from each of the country’s 13 circuit courts. Under normal
circumstances, they rule on those requests alone.
But a justice can refer an emergency application to the
full court to decide, which typically happens in high-profile or especially
contentious cases. When that happens, it takes a majority of the justices to
vote to grant a stay and stop a lower court ruling from going into effect.
If there’s a 4–4 decision in Ginsburg’s absence, the
request is denied. That would leave whatever lower court ruling was at issue in
place.

An $18B initiative to ensure any future vaccine against
COVID-19 is fairly shared throughout the world has secured the backing of 156 countries and territories,
representing about 64% of the global population.
Notably absent was the United States, which cited the
involvement of the WHO for its lack of participation (it plans to withdraw from
the organization by next July). Russia and China, which have both already
issued emergency use licenses for COVID-19 vaccines, were also not on the list.
The goal of COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access Facility, or
COVAX, is to have 2B doses available by the end of 2021, while participating
territories will be able to hedge themselves against the failure of any
individual candidate.
COVAX is being led by the World Health Organization (WHO),
the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and Gavi, the
Vaccine Alliance.
"Vaccine nationalism will only perpetuate the disease
and prolong the global recovery," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom

A tiny instrument to measure the
faintest magnetic fields Date:
September 8, 2020
Source:
Swiss Nanoscience Institute, University of Basel
Summary:
Physicists have developed a minuscule instrument able to detect extremely faint
magnetic fields. At the heart of the superconducting quantum interference
device are two atomically thin layers of graphene, which the researchers combined
with boron nitride. Instruments like this one have applications in areas such
as medicine, besides being used to research new materials.
To measure very small magnetic fields, researchers often use
superconducting quantum interference devices, or SQUIDs. In medicine, their
uses include monitoring brain or heart activity, for example, while in the
earth sciences researchers use SQUIDs to characterize the composition of rocks
or detect groundwater flows. The devices also have a broad range of uses in
other applied fields and basic research.
The team led by Professor Christian Schönenberger of the University of
Basel's Department of Physics and the Swiss Nanoscience Institute has now
succeeded in creating one of the smallest SQUIDs ever built. The researchers
described their achievement in the scientific journal Nano Letters .
A superconducting ring with weak links
A typical SQUID consists of a superconducting ring interrupted at two
points by an extremely thin film with normal conducting or insulating properties.
These points, known as weak links, must be so thin that the electron pairs
responsible for superconductivity are able to tunnel through them. Researchers
recently also began using nanomaterials such as nanotubes, nanowires or
graphene to fashion the weak links connecting the two superconductors.
As a result of their configuration, SQUIDs have a critical current
threshold above which the resistance-free superconductor becomes a conductor
with ordinary resistance. This critical threshold is determined by the magnetic
flux passing through the ring. By measuring this critical current precisely,
the researchers can draw conclusions about the strength of the magnetic field.
SQUIDs with six layers
"Our novel SQUID consists of a complex, six-layer stack of
individual two-dimensional materials," explains lead author David
Indolese. Inside it are two graphene monolayers separated by a very thin layer
of insulating boron nitride. "If two superconducting contacts are
connected to this sandwich, it behaves like a SQUID -- meaning it can be used
to detect extremely weak magnetic fields."
In this setup, the graphene layers are the weak links, although in
contrast to a regular SQUID they are not positioned next to each other, but one
on top of the other, aligned horizontally. "As a result, our SQUID has a
very small surface area, limited only by the constraints of nanofabrication
technology," explains Dr. Paritosh Karnatak from Schönenberger's team.
The tiny device for measuring magnetic fields is only around 10 nanometers
high -- roughly a thousandth of the thickness of a human hair. The instrument
can trigger supercurrents that flow in minuscule spaces. Moreover, its
sensitivity can be adjusted by changing the distance between the graphene
layers. With the help of electrical fields, the researchers are also able to
increase the signal strength, further enhancing the measurement accuracy.
Analyzing topological insulators
The Basel research team's primary goal in developing the novel SQUIDs
was to analyze the edge currents of topological insulators. Topological
insulators are currently a focus of countless research groups all over the
world. On the inside, they behave like insulators, while on the outside -- or
along the edges -- they conduct current almost losslessly, making them possible
candidates for a broad range of applications in the field of electronics.
"With the new SQUID, we can determine whether these lossless
supercurrents are due to a material's topological properties, and thereby tell
them apart from non-topological materials. This is very important for the study
of topological insulators," remarked Schönenberger of the project. In
future, SQUIDs could also be used as low-noise amplifiers for high-frequency
electrical signals, or for instance to detect local brainwaves
(magnetoencephalography), as their compact design means a large number of the
devices can be connected in series.
The paper is the outcome of close collaboration among groups at the
University of Basel, the University of Budapest and the National Institute for
Material Science in Tsukuba (Japan).
