As far as I know, there is no other definitive, simple and precise guide…

monthly totals ranging from one year to another, and differ from the local climatology. In spatial terms, it is shown that the rainfall is not evenly distributed in the Amazon Basin due to the occurrence of weather systems that reduce or increase rainfall in relation to climatological average. As an exemple we can mention the activity of the Humidity Convergence Zone and the South Athlantic Convergence Zone, which help the formation of unstability regions in a large piece of Amazon, as…

(N.B. This is not the same as refraction, which is when a particle or wave changes direction after going from one medium to another medium.) Light can…

cynicism or perhaps it’s learned behavior from watching artists turn from creative to careerist, but it’s not going to happen. James Murphy may have lost his edge by the time he formed LCD Soundsystem, but he gained perspective, even wisdom. And one of the primary things he’s projected from the start is that he cares, deeply, about what he does, the decisions he makes, and the reasons for them. “When I was 30 I promised myself that I’d be out by 40 and I’m 40 now.
