What is the average category for hurricanes?
I have to do a science thing about hurricanes and I wanted to know what hurricanes average category-wise. I think it’s Category 3 but i need some clarification.
A cat five is the strongest.

EARTHQUAKE IN HAITI = High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program
High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program
The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is an investigation project jointly funded by the US Air Force, the US Navy, the University of Alaska, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).[1] Its purpose is to investigate the ionosphere and establish whether some of its properties can be used for communication or surveillance purposes.[2] Started in 1993, the project is proposed to last for a period of twenty years. The system was designed and built by Advanced Power Technologies[citation needed] (APTI) and since 2003, by BAE Advanced Technologies.[1]
The facility currently operates a VHF and UHF radar, a fluxgate magnetometer, a digisonde, and an induction magnetometer alongside the transmitter facilities.

Use A Bad Credit Credit Card To Repair Past Disasters
Use a credit card to get you out of the mess caused by credit cards? If you’re trying to repair a damaged credit history, bad credit credit cards may hold part of the key. The trick is all in choosing the right option and using it wisely.
Your credit report is a listing of all sorts of information about you, including when and how you pay your bills, if you’ve got overdue accounts, if you have a history of defaulting on loans and if it’s safe to trust you with borrowed money. On the flip side, it also can show that you handle money responsibly, that you’ve paid off debts and that you are a fine upstanding citizen who pays accounts off on time and properly. Bad credit credit cards can help you change the image that your credit report reflects – as long as you actually use them appropriately.
Why a bad credit credit card? Obviously, if you qualify for a low interest option, you wouldn’t need to be reading this, would you? If you’ve had trouble applying from most lenders, though, there are options designed for people with spotty, stained or downright tattered credit. In some cases, you may have to go so far as applying for a secured credit card – where you deposit 1-2 times the amount of your credit limit into a bank account as collateral – in order to get a card that you can use – but the results are worth it. Here’s why.
One feature that most bad credit options share is their reporting habits. Most credit companies only make reports to the credit bureaus when you miss payments or are late on them. Credit cards that are marketed as ‘credit repair’ cards, on the other hand, often report every payment that you make, and label your account ‘in good standing’.
This is important if you’ve had credit troubles in the past. While many infringments will stay on your credit record for up to six years, the further in the past they are, the less they’ll count with prospective creditors. If you had a bad spot of trouble four years back, but your credit report now shows two years of regular, on time payments to a credit card company, the picture that emerges is of a regular person who had a tough time, but has since recovered and is paying their bills on time. That’s even better an outlook than a person who had a spot of trouble four years ago, and hasn’t used credit since.
Obviously, you’ll pay a bit more for your credit card than if you had spotless credit. Bad credit issuers are taking a bigger risk by giving credit cards to those who have had trouble in the past. To offset that risk, they’ll charge higher interest rates, and quite possibly membership fees and service charges. That doesn’t mean, though, that you’re stuck paying a fortune in unreasonable fees and rates.
If you shop carefully, you’ll find companies that aren’t taking advantage of your vulnerability by tacking on outrageous fees. You can compare various options online where you’ll find a full selection of the best offers available in the UK today.

Hurricane Sleuth
Getting the dirt on hurricanes of the future
When a hurricane comes around, it’s best to get out of the way–unless you have a thing for risky behavior! Or, perhaps, you’re in the business of studying them. If that’s the case, a good way to get data out of a hurricane is to head straight into one. That could involve a white-knuckled flight into the eye of a storm in a specially designed aircraft called a “Hurricane Hunter.”

Back-up Data
In nowadays computer takes important place almost in every people life. We use computers for all types of things including entertainment, work, and corresponding with others. And there is a lot of important information which we don’t want lose. And the better way how to make these data safe from various disasters is to make backup copies!
What is backup?
Backup is the activity of copying files or databases so that they will be preserved in case of equipment failure or other catastrophe.
Why do backup files?!?
It is really good question and here is some statistics:
? PCs are infected with viruses at a rate of more than 10% each month.
? Over 50% of PC users have lost an electronic file they thought they had sufficiently stored.
? 9% of people have admitted never backing up their files.
? 32% of data loss is caused by human error.
? 7% of data loss is caused by computer viruses.
? 3% of data loss is caused by natural disasters. (www.3dbackup.com)Statitstics show that there are many different ways how to lose so important information and that kind of disasters happen. So better be prepare!Backups are useful primarily for two purposes: to restore a computer to an operational state following a disaster and to restore small numbers of files after they have been accidentally deleted or corrupted.
What to backup?
For most computer users is not obligatory to do backups for all files which are on computer, because its takes a lot of storage place and not always necessary. The main idea for backup process is to do copy from files which are important and is not replaceable.
This can includes:
? Bank records and other financial information.
? Digital photographs.
? Music you purchased and downloaded from the Internet.
? Personal projects.
? Software you purchased and downloaded from the Internet.
When to backup?
It would be perfect make backup copies to new and critical data constantly they are in computer, but for other data once a week! How often you do backups depends on how much your files change.How offten do this, its depend on you,but remember that backups is only then effective if they are made regulary!!!
Where to backup?
There are two main backup location groups:
? Local backup – a copy of a file or document that is located on the computers hard disk drive or removable devices. This type of backup is not very safe, because, if something cause computer hard disk or removable device where is these backups, you may lose these data.Suggestion – save backups to more than one device and store these devices in different places.
? Internet backup – a copy of a files or document that is located on the internet server. This type of backups is safe from that way, that they are in safe place. But there is another hand – if something are saved to internet that mean that there are frauds from hackers.Suggestion – choose internet backup serviss which save your data in crypted format!Now it is in your hands…BE PREPARE OR NOT TO BE!!!
