  eccentricity is ruled out
In the Milankovitch theory, the peak near 0.01 (100 kyr period) is attributed to eccentricity, the peak near 0.024 (41 kyr period) to obliquity, and the peak near 0.043 (23 kyr period) to precession.
The region of the 100 kyr peak for the delta18O data is replotted in figures 2A and 2B with an expanded frequency scale.
Unlike the 400 kyr cycle, which is far enough mismatched from the 100 kyr to be suppressed (at least in principle) by the models, the 95-125 doublet peaks are too close.

 LBL-35665.html
The 70 kyr precession of the vector (in the invariable plane), when measured in a coordinate system in which it is not centered (the frame of 1850), becomes mixed into the inclination to yield the apparent 70 kyr nutation.
We hypothesize that the 100 kyr variation in the orbital inclination is the dominant one seen in the climate data, rather than the 100 kyr period of eccentricity.
The presence of the 70 kyr "anomalous" peak is related to another previously ignored orbital frequency, that of the orbital precession Omega.

Kyr has been commissioned by numerous music organizations including the Oregon Repertory Singers, San Francisco Symphony Chorus, Yale Symphony, Oregon Symphony, Eugene Symphony, New England Philharmonic, Cleveland Chamber Symphony, Back Bay Chorale (Boston), Third Angle (Portland), California EAR Unit (Los Angeles), New England Philharmonic, and San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra among others.
In 1974, Kyr graduated from Yale summa cum laude and continued his education in England at the Royal College of Music in London, and at Dartington Summer School for the Arts, where he studied with Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, who later commissioned his work, Maelstrom, for the Fires of London.
Kyr completed his Master of Arts at the University of Pennsylvania in 1978, studying with George Rochberg and George Crumb.

 Milankovitch and Tuning
The equatorial plane precesses with a period of 25.8 Kyr and the orbital plane precesses with a period of 70 Kyr.
In addition, the Brunhes Matuyama magnetic reversal at 780 Kyr BP is a convenient dividing point, and there is a transition from a dominant 1/100 Kyr to a 1/41 Kyr oscillation band around this same time.
The starred subscripts in Table 3 indicate that the given period is potentially a precession or obliquity frequency modulated by the 1/404 or 1/94.8 Kyr frequencies of eccentricity.

In the center of Kyr, the desert of Endless Peril and Misery (often known simply as Misery) is named thus to reflect its deadly nature.
This forms a safe Southern border for Kyr since the only people who travel this way are Slavers, who use secret routes to transport slaves from the far jungles of the Frontier to Kyr..
Since Kyr broke the shackles of the monstrous invaders known as the Jenna, and marched into Bereny to help them do the same (Berenians tell the story differently, uninformed as they are) the path was laid to allow trade to begin again between the two lands.

 EXPERIMENTING WITH ICE-AGE CYCLES IN A SPREADSHEET   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The first is 625 kyr long, the others are 615 kyr each, for a total of 1855 kyr.
The Milankovitch spectrum peaks at 98 kyr, the Croll spectrum at 125 kyr and 80 kyr, and the Laplace spectrum has no power around 100 kyr at all.
One can see that in the Croll chron obliquity and precession combine to produce long cycles, but these cycles tend to be multiples of 41 kyr (80 kyr, 123 kyr)(as well as eccentricity-related: 125 kyr).

 Homo sapiens
The material dates to approximately 25-26 kyr, and is extremely variable in the expression of its traits.
A date of 130 kyr was originally given (uranium/thorium) but it was determined from shell, which is notoriously inaccurate for this method of dating, and the shell was from a lower level, making the Omo 1 specimen younger in any event.
It is now absolutely certain that Australia was inhabited by at least 60 kyr to 50 kyr, and there is evidence that indicates the first habitation occurred by 115 kyr.

 Homo neanderthalensis
The range of traits in Neanderthals is ver broad, and specimens can be looked at in three groups: early Neanderthals (approximately 250 kyr to 130 kyr), the Neanderthals that existed during the transition to the Upper Paleolithic (approximately 130 kyr to 45 kyr), and the late surviving Neanderthals (after 45 kyr).
The remains from the earlier level (G3) date to approximately 42 kyr, and are contemporary with the l'Horus remains.
The most recent stratigraphic level from Vindija (G1) dates to approximately 32 kyr, and has been claimed to be late surviving Neanderthals with modern human affinities, as well as the remains of modern human beings, with no affiliation to the European Neanderthals.

His Beatitude, the Archbishop of Ohrid and Metropolitan of Skopje, kyr kyr Jovan (John), after confirming several times before the public that he would voluntarily go to serve the sentence to which he was convicted, went on his way to the prison Idrizovo, near Skopje.
When he was stopped, the Archbishop kyr kyr John and the vehicle in which he traveled were thoroughly inspected, however, not even once did the police give a written confirmation that it conducted an inspection.
Indeed, after the mindless verdict for the Archbishop kyr kyr John we are ashamed to say that we are the citizens of this country called Republic of Macedonia.

 NEW DATING OF EUROPEAN ICE SHEETS IMPROVES THE QUATERNARY OF THE RHINE REGION
The wrong dating of stage 5 (Eemian interglacial) with 125 kyr seemed to be confirmed erroneously by independent dating of an interglacial in coral reefs with a real age of 125 kyr.
Regarding the settlement it becomes clear, that there are confused stage 5 (80 kyr) with stage 7 (125 kyr).
Its record, "based on oxygen isotope data from marine fossils that reflect the size of continental ice sheets" (SCHRAG 2002:23) is proportional to the known sequence of European ice sheets.

The Government of the Republic of Macedonia continues the legal persecution against His Beatitude kyr kyr Jovan (John), the Archbishop of Ohrid and Metropolitan of Skopje, with unchecked fury.
It can be easily concluded by virtue of the last enforceable verdict sentenced to the Archbishop Jovan (John) by the Court of Appeals in Skopje regarding the criminal offence ‘embezzlement’ referred to in Article 239 paragraph 4 in conjunction with paragraph 1 of the Penal Code of the Republic of Macedonia.
The authorities have begun the terror in 2002 expelling in the street His Beatitude the Archbishop of Ohrid and Metropolitan of Skopje kyr kyr Jovan (John), then still the Metropolitan of Veles Diocese of the Macedonian Orthodox Church, from the administrative building of the Veles Metropolis, without any court warrant.
