What happens during a hurricane?
During a hurricane, strong winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surges can cause significant damage to buildings, infrastructure, and vegetation. Flooding is a common issue due to the heavy rain and storm surges, and high winds can uproot trees and cause power outages. Overall, hurricanes can be extremely destructive and dangerous natural disasters.
There are many factors which are required to cause a hurricane. But the first is a low pressure core which creates a system of showers and thunderstorms. These storms move out over warm ocean water and the moisture feeds and strengthens them. As this group of storms intensifies and organizes, the Coriolis effect starts the air spinning in a counter clockwise direction if it is in the northern hemisphere or clockwise if it is in the southern hemisphere. When the circulation becomes closed the system is called a tropical depression. When sustained winds reach 39 mph the storm is called a tropical storm and is given a name. When sustained winds reach 74 mph the storm is called a hurricane.
How did Hurricane Katrina affect the economy?
This is a very big question, touching a lot of different areas of business and economics. I will answer only the part that deals with my area of expertise - agriculture. First, Katrina did a lot of damage to that portion of Louisiana's sugarcane crop that is grown in the area south of New Orleans. Fortunately, that's a small percentage of the crop. (But Rita, a month later, hit southwestern LA, and did some serious damage.) Furthermore, areas that were flooded with saltwater will have issues in the future. Too much salt in the soil is not good for crops. Again, fortunately, not many acres of crops are grown in that area. As Katrina continued to move inland, it weakened, but still had some strong winds and heavy rainfall. Crops in the Mississippi delta sustained some damage, particularly cotton. By the time Katrina passed through Mississippi, it was merely a tropical depression, no longer worthy of a name, but was still referred to as "the remnants of Katrina". Winds were not seriously strong, and crop damage was minimal. But, the heavy rains were still present, and actually BENEFITTED crops in the Midwest. Livestock in the affected area suffered. Many drowned in the flooding. Others got free of their pens and wandered off, eventually dying due to lack of care. I saw one picture of a dead cow in the fork of a tree 12 ft off the ground. Meanwhile, the port of New Orleans was closed for a long time. This closure extended past the beginning of harvest season in the Midwest and Great Plains. The Mississippi River is the usual transportation route for much of the grain grown in that area, but this was not an option, with the port closed. Farmers had to find other ways to ship their grain. Or store it until it could be shipped.
Why is godfather called ninong in the Philippines?
Since Tagalog (Philippine language) is derived from Spanish, the term "ninong" is presumably derived from the Spanish word "padrino". "Padrino" means godfather and Spanish speaking people may call a padrino, "nino" for short. Hence, ninong from nino.
However, this is very presumptive, untrue and baseless to the least. "Ninong" and "Ninang" are pure tagalog titles for sponsors for marriages, and later, for baptism who were to act as second parents of the children to be baptized or couples to be married according to the age old rites of the tagalog natives. Take note that tagalog language was indigenous as people who spoke it, as ancient as the cantonese, hokkien and other Chinese languages and European or African dialects as revealed, say, in a Rosetta stones. It follows, therefore, that the tagalog "ninong" and "ninang" were ancient terms of endearment of the tagalog natives just like the spanish "padrino".
Where did Hurricane Katrina hit?
The hurricane hit the southeast United States, but caused the most damage to New Orleans, since the city is below sea level.
Hurricane Katrina made three landfalls in the US. The first was in southeast Florida as a Category One. The second was near the mouth of the Mississippi River (Category 3 or 4), and the last around Waveland, Mississippi as a Strong Category 3.
Some levees in New Orleans (proper) didn't falter until the storm was well inland. Mississippi suffered as much catastrophic damage from Katrina as eastern New Orleans, with houses washed away for hundreds of yards from the shore. Mississippi was in the Northeast quadrant of the storm,which is the most dangerous quadrant for winds and tornadoes. In Waveland, MS there were Category 3 winds and a high storm surge inundating areas south of Highway 90 and Interstate 10 for about 5 or 6 hours, but the water receded rather quickly because the area is above sea level.
To clarify:
New Orleans' Ninth Ward received the most damage, which was due to flooding caused by the levee breaking. But the Mississippi gulf coast received the most storm (wind) damage. The damage from the initial hit in southern Florida was comparatively minor.
How do people measure how many calories a specific food type provides?
Chemists often burn the food with another type of fuel in a sealed container called a calorimeter. The heat from combustion then heats up water around the combustion chamber. If for example you burn x amount of fuel in this same calorimeter and the water temperature goes up 1 degree, and with this same x amount of fuel plus the food of interest the water goes up 2 degrees, you know that the food caused a 1 degree temperature change. I believe 1 cal is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1g of water (or 1ml) 1 degree Celsius.
What was the worst hurricane that hit Florida?
1926 Miami: The blow that broke the boom : The 1926 storm was described by the U.S. Weather Bureau in Miami as "probably the most destructive hurricane ever to strike the United States." It hit Fort Lauderdale, Dania, Hollywood, Hallandale and Miami. The death toll is estimated to be from 325 to perhaps as many as 800.
The "Great Miami" Hurricane was first spotted as a tropical wave located 1,000 miles east of the Lesser Antilles on September 11th. The system moved quickly westward and intensified to hurricane strength as it moved to the north of Puerto Rico on the 15th. Winds were reported to be nearly 150 mph as the hurricane passed over the Turks Islands on the 16th and through the Bahamas on the 17th. Little in the way of meteorological information on the approaching hurricane was available to the Weather Bureau in Miami. As a result, hurricane warnings were not issued until midnight on September 18th, which gave the booming population of South Florida little notice of the impending disaster.
A violent storm originating over tropical or subtropical waters, characterized by violent rainstorms and high-velocity cyclonic winds.

How many hurricanes came and names from 1945-2007?
A system is given a name when it attains tropical storm or subtropical storm status. The names go in alphabetical order. So for example, if there is a hurricane called hurricane Allen, ( like there was in the past ) the next storm in that basin in that year will go to B, like hurricane Bonnie. However letters not commonly used in names may be excluded. In the Atlantic Ocean the letters Q, U, X, Y, and Z are not used. In the eastern Pacific basin Q and U are not used. Each year has a list of names that is recycled every six years. This gives a total of 270 names on that system. A somewhat different system is used for Central Pacific hurricanes which uses 12 names ber year on a 4 year cycle giving a total of 48, bringing the total For hurricane names to 318. In other parts of the world the storms we call hurricanes go by different names such as typhoons. The generic term for such a storm is tropical cyclone. Other basins total to to 523 names, manning that, in total, there are 841 currently available tropical cyclone names. When a storm in bad enough it has its name replaced. And the retired name is, in most cases, never used to name a future storm.
What type of people do narcissists look for?
People who have some kind of self esteem issues. Maybe people who think that they're not pretty, skinny, smart maybe all or one or maybe some other reason all together, such individuals would readily worship a Narcissist as they would put that person on a Pedestal. Narcissist thrive on adoration & compliments so they'd probably love to surround themselves with people who fulfill their need for that.
Narcissists will look for someone that has an ideal vision of them. Narcissists view people as mirrors that reflect an image back to them so they like to surround themselves with people who reflect back a positive image of themselves so if you act adoring or believe the narcissist is wonderful/great, you will attract their attention.
They pick suppy sources who are physically attractive and, often who have a skill/talent in an area they need or admire. It makes them feel good if they can trick and attract the attention of a beautiful women or skilled person but they won't pick someone they feel is more powerful than they are.

What advantages might a socialist system have in responding to the needs of the poor?
The socialist system is based on the notion of equality for everyone, everyone has a job and everyone has a place to live. Everyone has to forfeit their class rights in a socialist system. A socialist system has universal health care and dental care, childcare, as well as similar access to resources such as food and water. Ideally, the socialist system could cater to the needs of the poor because it provides equal access to all folks, regardless of income.
Although advantageous to the poor, the socialist system can mean heavy taxation on all citizens. There could be corruption as well as unequal access to resources which means that the people who tow the party line usually have more access to better goods. The socialist system means highly unusual labor quotas, food ration cards, long lines at the store, or below superior quality goods available.
