Hurricane Catarina?
it's called Cyclone Catarina. Cyclone Catarina was an extremely rare South Atlantic tropical cyclone. Catarina hit southeastern Brazil in late March of 2004, and though not the first southern Atlantic tropical cyclone, it was the first positively identified hurricane-strength system in the basin. Formation: Catarina developed off a cold-core stationary upper-level trough became established offshore southern Brazil on March 12, 2004. Whether Catarina was a result of global warming is still debatable. There have been claims of global warming, but none has been solidly proved, as yet. Typically, tropical cyclones do not form in the South Atlantic Ocean, due to strong upper level shear, cool water temperatures, and the lack of a convergence zone of convection. Occasionally though, as seen in 1991 and early 2004, conditions can become slightly more favorable. Formation of another storm in the same region with similar intensity is extremely rare, because at the time, it was the 'strongest ever'. However, there have been other similar but less intense South Atlantic storms like the Angola tropical cyclone of 1991 and another cyclone in the same area in Brazil in mid/late January of 2004.

I stole my best friend credit card, what do i do now?
about 2 months ago i stole my best friends credit card one night after a night of drinking. The next morning i realized that i still had the card. thinking that i could get away with it i used it to put gas in my car, and to buy cigarettes. Not thinking i continued to use the card about 10-13 times at various gas stations to fill my tank. About 2 weeks ago the police discovered the tapes from all the various gas stations, becasue my friend and his family reported the stolen card they were able to go into the police station to identity the thief, low and behold it was me.... the, "best friend". i feel so horrible about this, and have lost most all of my friends. My friends wont talk to me, and even un-friended me on facebook... i am so hurt that i did this, and mad at myself. i just dont know what to do. i am in therapy right now, but i still think about it day to day. i realize that i am a bad friend, probably the worst, and the trust that was broken will never be revived. i just need to know what people think about all this.....
Did you get your teen a car for their 16th birthday?
For my 16th a while back I got an '07 Toyota Yaris - it's leased to own though and not just bought out.
What will be the answer if a multiple choice test consisting of 10 questions with four choices each, and the student guesses the answer to each question? What is the probability that he gets 8 questions correctly?
For each question we have 4 choices. So if you have 10 on such questions, you ll have :4*4*4*4*4*4*4*4*4*4= 4^10 = 2048Getting 8 correct means=> 8 corrects and two wrongs3/4 is the probability if a question is answered wrong1/4 is the probability if a question is answered correctlyso we can consider this probability :P=(3/4)*(3/4)*(1/4)*(1/4)*(1/4)*(1/4)*(1/4)*(1/4)*(1/4)*(1/4)=> P=0.00000858306But as we can select any combination of 2 from 10 for being wrong, so we need to multiply P by (10,2)=10!/(2!*8!) =45so the answer is P*45 = 0.00038623809So not very lucky to answer randomly!By the way, is it a question from your home work assignment? ;) ;)
Will liquor stores/gas stations accept my temporary license, despite its sketchiness?
I got my wallet stolen and had to replace my drivers license. At the DMV, they gave me a rather sketchy looking piece of paper that is supposed to pose as a temporary license. It has all of the normal identification that is seen on a normal license, including a photograph. If I were to buy beer at a gas station, would this identification be suitable?
