The storm was the fiercest to hit Britain in October since the Great Storm of 1987, with wind gusts reaching , and gusting at up to over much of the south of England. Its barometric pressure fell to , over the North Sea making it one of the deepest lows recorded in the country in October. The lowest land-based pressure observation reached at RAF Fylingdales. The storm contributed to the Autumn 2000 western Europe floods. Meteorological history On 26 October 2000, a deep low pressure centre anchored between Greenland and Iceland, trailing a cold front across the North Atlantic Ocean which spawned three strong storms. Cyclone Oratia developed in the Atlantic to the southwest of Ireland on 28 October 2000 during a strong upper-level jet. The low explosively deepened, with a drop in pressure in 18 hours preceding 18:00 UTC on 30 October 200 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Battle Of Torà

He incorporated the account in his ''Miracula sancti Benedicti'' around 1043.Carl Erdmann (1977), ''The Origin of the Idea of Crusade'', trans. by Marshall W. Baldwin and Walter Goffart (Princeton: Princeton University Press), 99–100. The four Christian counts of the battle were Raymond Borell of Barcelona, Bernard I of Besalú, Wifred II of Cerdagne, and Ermengol I of Urgell. The German historian of the Crusades Carl Erdmann supposed the leader of the Muslim army to be Abd al-Malik, the son of the recently deceased ''hajib'' Almanzor.

Runways may be a human-made surface (often asphalt concrete, asphalt, concrete, or a mixture of both) or a natural surface (sod, grass, soil, dirt, gravel, ice, sand or road salt, salt). Runways, taxiways and Airport apron, ramps, are sometimes referred to as "tarmac", though very few runways are built using Tarmacadam, tarmac. Takeoff and landing areas defined on the surface of water for seaplanes are generally referred to as waterways. Runway lengths are now International Civil Aviation Organization#Use of the International System of Units, commonly given in meters worldwide, except in North America where feet are commonly used.

Temporally-ordered Routing Algorithm
The Temporally Ordered Routing Algorithm (TORA) is an algorithm for routing data across Wireless Mesh Networks or Mobile ad hoc networks. It was developed by Vincent Park and Scott Corson at the University of Maryland and the Naval Research Laboratory. Park has patented his work, and it was licensed by Nova Engineering, who are marketing a wireless router product based on Park's algorithm. Operation The TORA attempts to achieve a high degree of scalability using a "flat", non-hierarchical routing algorithm. In its operation the algorithm attempts to suppress, to the greatest extent possible, the generation of far-reaching control message propagation. In order to achieve this, the TORA does not use a shortest path solution, an approach which is unusual for routing algorithms of this type. TORA builds and maintains a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) rooted at a destination. No two nodes may have the same height. Information Information is an Abstraction, abstract concept t ...
