John Gould (14 September 1804 – 3 February 1881) was an English ornithologist (bird scientist).
The Gould League (a bird group) started in Australia in 1909, was named after him.
His knowledge of the birds now called "Darwin's finches" was a turning point in the Charles Darwin's thinking about evolution by natural selection.
They are barely mentioned in Charles Darwin's book, On the Origin of Species.

Red-violet is a deep tone of rosy magenta.
It may also be considered a reddish tone of purple or a bluish tone of rose.
On the old fashioned, now obsolete red-yellow-blue pigment color wheel (in which red, yellow, and blue were regarded as the primary colors and orange, green, and violet were regarded as the secondary colors), red-violet was a tertiary  color between red and violet on the red-yellow-blue pigment color wheel and thus was the equivalent of pigment purple.
The other tertiary colors on a red-yellow-blue (RYB) color wheel were called blue-violet, blue-green, yellow-green, yellow-orange, and red-orange.
Meaning of red-violet
Red-violet is used to represent wine (especially in advertising and in animated films), and thus is associated with the Greek god Dionysus and with celebrations, parties, night clubs and the theatre in general (In Greek mythology, Dionysus was the god of the theatre as well as of wine).
Electric purple observed on spectrum beyond violet by ultraviolet sensitives
It has been reported by ophthalmologists that those who have their lenses removed and replaced with clear plastic intraocular lenses can see partway into the ultraviolet and view electric purple (a tone of red-violet) on the spectrum beyond Violet because it has been shown that the retina has some ultraviolet sensitivity which is normally blocked by the natural lens.
Presumably, tetrachromatic animals such as birds can also see this color on the spectrum.
These observers able to see partially into the ultraviolet describe the color they can see beyond violet in the ultraviolet as a sort of lilac, that is, a reddish-violet (purple) color that is the color of the lilac flower. (
Presumably this color that they see would be electric purple, since electric purple is a pure chroma on the color wheel and would presumably be the color we would see on the spectrum beyond violet if we could see into the ultraviolet.)

An infection caused by Candidiasis
Candidiasis, often called yeast infection or thrush, is a type of infectious disease.
It is a fungal infection (mycosis).
The disease is caused by any of the Candida species of yeast.
Candida albicans is the most common species.<ref name="Baron">{{cite book | author = Walsh TJ, Dixon DM | title = Deep Mycoses in: Baron's Medical Microbiology (Baron S et al.,

Causes Candida yeasts are common in most people.
The yeast is usually controlled in the body.
When the yeast grows without control, an infection happens.
A weakened, unhealthy, or young immune system may allow candidiasis to develop.
HIV/AIDS, cancer treatments, steroids, stress and not enough nutrients may cause candidiasis.
Antibiotic and steroid use are the most common reason for uncontrolled yeast.
Antibiotic kills some bacteria, and changes the balance of microorganisms in the body.
This may allow the yeast to multiply.
Candidiasis in the throat and mouth
Esophageal candidiasis is an infection of the esophagus by Candida albicans.
The disease happens in unhealthy people.
Sometimes people will get the infection when they are treated with chemotherapy.
People with AIDS can also get this infection more often.
One sign of esophageal candidiasis is painful swallowing.
Weight loss can happen when a person has esophageal candidiasis for a long time.
Oral candidiasis is a yeast infection of the mouth.
It is located on the mucous membranes of the mouth.
It is caused by Candida albicans, Candida glabrata or Candida tropicalis.
Candida may appear as thick white or cream-coloured areas on mucosal membranes.
The infected mucosa of the mouth may look inflamed.
In babies the condition is called thrush.
For babies, it is usually painless and causes no pain.
Adults may experience discomfort or burning sensation.
In healthy persons, candidiasis is usually a very small infection of the skin or mucous membranes.
These areas include:
the mouth (oral candidiasis)
the vagina or vulva (vaginal candidiasis or thrush)
folds of skin in the diaper area (diaper rash)
the nipples while breastfeeding
the penis or foreskin
the armpit
the ear
the skin around or in the nostrils
the ears
Candidiasis is a very common cause of vaginal irritation, or vaginitis.
It can also occur on the penis or scrotum.
In unhealthy patients, the Candida'' infection can affect the esophagus.
It could get everywhere in the body.
This would cause a much more serious health condition, a state called candidemia.

A graphics processing unit (GPU) is a processor that renders (or creates) images, animations, graphics and then displays them on the computer’s screen.
A strong GPU is able to process complex animations and graphics smoothly and efficiently.
Images which GPUs calculate (render) may be 2D or 3D.  For most applications, the GPU has to render two dimensional (2D) pictures.
Modern GPUs are so powerful, that there is no difference in 2D performance between low-cost and expensive GPUs.
Some applications use 3D pictures to simulate three-dimensionality.
Examples include video games, and applications for design and technical construction (CAD).
The 3D acceleration performance of GPUs differs greatly.
Generally, more expensive GPUs can render faster than low-cost ones.
The first graphics cards were used in the 1970’s ,within arcade machines, as a cheaper alternative to Random-Access Memory (RAM).
However, graphics cards were not viable for consumer products until the release of the Large Scale Integration (LSI) circuit chip in the 1980’s.
During the early-to-mid 1990’s, graphics cards that were capable of 3D support became more common in arcade, computer and console games.
The first consumer-level GPU ,meant for personal computers, was the Nvidia GeForce 256, which was released in 1999.
Modern Uses
GPUs are commonly used in computers, and video game systems to render graphics for video games that may not be playable without the proper GPU.
However, other devices such as virtual reality headsets and driverless cars, such as Tesla, also use GPUs The tasks a GPU can do include, calculations, artificial intelligence programming, photo editing and other applications.
The term GPU computing, combines all tasks a GPU can do, that go beyond simple calculation and output of pictures.
It is also known under the term General Purpose Computation on Graphics Processing Unit.
Tasks are calculation of physics, Artificial Intelligence or even acceleration of video and picture editing.
One of the first applications to support GPU computing is Adobe’s Photoshop CS4.
NVidia’s approach: CUDA
NVidia calls their attempt at GPU Computing CUDA.
This is NVidia's interface for using their GPUs for general computing tasks.
CUDA is based on the C programming language.
ATI’s approach: Stream
ATIs decided to call their attempt Stream.
There were some earlier attempts under a different name prior to Stream’s release.
Such as, ATI's graphics driver “Catalyst 8.12” in December 2008.
S3 Graphic’s approach
S3 Graphics showed a first application for video editing which is accelerated by their latest GPUs.
Yet, there is no information whether S3 Graphics will continue to increase their efforts in GPU computing.
The latest milestone in GPU computing was AMD’s announcement of a Super-Computer based on GPUs at the CES in January 2009.
It will be built of more than a thousand GPUs and will have a computing power of one petaflop.
External GPU
An external GPU is a graphics processor located outside of the housing of the computer.
External graphics processors are used with laptop computers, which lack a powerful graphics processor.
On-board graphics chips are not powerful enough for graphically intensive tasks.
Therefore, attaching a GPU to some notebook is desirable.
GPU Accelerated Video Decoding
Most GPUs were made in the year 1995 to support YUV colour space and hardware overlays, and many GPUs made since 2000 also support MPEG primitives.
This process of hardware accelerated video decoding.
Most recent graphics cards even decode high-definition video on the card, offloading the central processing unit.
GPU Interfaces
Early GPUs used Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) interface to communicate with the motherboard of a computer, a type of slot which is still used today for simple motherboard add-ons such as extra audio-processing cards or USB ports.
As graphics cards became more powerful and graphics applications more demanding, a faster kind of interface called Advanced Graphics Port (AGP) was created and then PCIe x16 (PCI Express 16-lane) after it, the current overall standard.
In 2008 PCIe 2.0 was introduced, doubling the speed of PCIe 1.0 and still working with older PCI Express interfaces.
PCI graphics cards will only work in PCI slots; AGP will only work in AGP slots.
PCIe graphics cards will not function in PCI slots and PCI graphics cards will not function in PCIe slots.
However, PCI Express 2.0 graphics cards will work in PCI Express x16 1.0 motherboard slots and vice-versa.
Multi-GPU systems
Multi-GPU Systems are computers which use more than one GPU.
Generally this is used in high-end home computers to accelerate computer games, but there is also the ability to have one GPU rendering normal game scenes and one GPU calculating physics.
This is currently supported by nVidia’s GPUs only and called PhysX. ATi and Intel have developed their own physics engine named Havok.
History of Multi-GPU systems
The first attempts in Multi-GPU Systems were done by 3Dfx, which was bought by nVidia later.
Their Voodoo video cards, which were 3D only accelerators, could be hooked up to a second Voodoo video card to gain more performance.
This was called SLi.
Theoretically the performance would double, practically it increased far less, depending on the video game, which is still a problem in today’s Multi-GPU Systems.
Later, 3Dfx built more than one GPU on one video card.
It’s latest video card, the Voodoo 6, was based on four GPUs, but it was never released.
However there exist several engineering samples of the Voodoo 6, mostly owned by collectors.
nVidia’s SLi
After nVidia bought 3Dfx, Multi-GPU Systems were dead for several years until nVidia came up with this idea again in 2004.
As nVidia had bought all technologies and market names from 3Dfx, too, they simply used the name SLi again.
Today’s SLi works with up to three video cards, which is called 3-way-SLi.
There were also attempts with four cards, but this failed due to limitations in the DirectX9 API.
Today’s DirectX10 API however would support this.
Despite the video cards, a SLi compatible motherboard is needed to build a SLi-System.
Such motherboards have several PEG Slots (the successor to AGP, based on PCI-Express Technology) for more than one video card.
nVidia offers various Multi-GPU video cards, where two GPUs are built on one video card.
These are often called Dual-GPU video cards and do not need a SLi compatible motherboard.
ATI’s CrossFireX
ATI’s Multi-GPU Technology is called Cross Fire.
It works quite the same way, though there are fewer limitations for video card combinations.
CrossFire was renamed as CrossFire X in 2007 to represent the possibility to combine more than two cards.
Today, it is possible to have a CrossFire X system based on four video cards or two Dual-GPU cards.
Just like with SLi, there is the necessity for a CrossFire compatible motherboard in order to build a CrossFire System.
One Dual-GPU video card from ATi does not necessarily need such a Crossfire compatible motherboard, however for two of them, it is needed.
The 1970 Atlantic hurricane season was the period of time in 1970 that tropical cyclones formed in Atlantic Ocean.
It officially began on June 1, 1970, and it ended on November 30, 1970.
Strong storms of 1970 include Hurricane Celia, which killed 20 and caused severe damage.
Also, Tropical Storm Dorothy killed 51 people, most in Martinique.
These are the names set aside for 1970.
Names that were not used are in .
After this season there was one name that got retired: Celia.
In 1974, the name "Carmen" was used instead.
Detailed information on all storms from 1970
The Orange Bowl Game is an American college football bowl game at the Dolphin Stadium.
It is played every year.
It first started on January 1, 1935.
Gary Karr (born  20 November 1941), is an American classical double bass virtuoso and teacher.
There were several double bass players in his family, but he did not meet them.
He studied with several teachers.
He went to the Juilliard School.
In 1962 he became famous when he was a soloist in a nationally televised New York Philharmonic Young People's Concert, conducted by Leonard Bernstein.
On that famous telecast, Karr performed "The Swan" from Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saëns.
Gary Karr has given performances in many parts of the world.
He has published a number of books for learning to play the double bass.
After 40 years as a concert artist he retired in 2001 to Victoria, British Columbia, where he lives with his dog Shin-Ju.
In 1967, Karr founded the International Society of Bassists (ISB), an organization which encourages the playing of the double bass all over the world.
Every two years the ISB has a big international conference.
Olga Koussevitzky, widow of the conductor and double bass player Serge Koussevitzky (1874-1951) heard Karr play when he was young, and gave him the beautiful Amati double bass made in 1611 which her husband had played.
Karr later gave this double bass to the ISB so that double bassists world-wide could play on it.

The 1996 Atlantic hurricane season officially began on June 1, 1996, and lasted until November 30, 1996.
Tropical Cyclones can and have formed outside these dates but not in 1996, because Hurricane Marco ended on November 24.
The 1996 Atlantic hurricane season was very active, but not as active as 1995, but it was more active then 1997.
Tropical Storm Arthur was the first tropical storm of the 1996 season.
It started on June 17 in the Bahamas as Tropical Depression One.
One became Tropical Storm Arthur late on June 19.
Tropical Storm Arthur made landfall in Cape Lookout, North Carolina was a weak tropical storm.
It moved to the east and went back into the Atlantic Ocean and died on June 21.
Arthur killed no one and caused only $1 million in damage.
Hurricane Bertha was the first hurricane of the 1996 Atlantic hurricane season.
It started on July 5 near the Cape Verde Islands.
On that same day it became Tropical Storm Bertha.
By July 7 it became a hurricane, during that day it struck Antigua, and Sint Maarten.
Bertha moved along the edges of the islands in the Bahamas.
Hurricane Bertha made landfall in North Carolina on July 12 as a category 2 hurricane.
It quickly got weaker and died on July 14 as it entered Canada.
Bertha killed 9 people and caused $335 million in damage.
Hurricane Cesar
Hurricane Cesar started off the coast of Venezuela on July 24, it was a tropical depression at this time.
It slowly got stronger, becoming a tropical storm the next day and a hurricane by July 27.
On July 28 it made landfall as a hurricane in Nicaragua.
Cesar weakened to a tropical storm over land, but it reached the Pacific Ocean and later on it became Hurricane Douglas.
Hurricane Cesar killed 77 people and caused $206 million in damage.
Hurricane Dolly started as Tropical Depression Four near Jamaica.
It got stronger and it became Tropical Storm Dolly soon after.
Tropical Storm Dolly became Hurricane Dolly just before it made landfall in the Yucatan Peninsula on August 20.
It weakened over land and entered the southern Gulf of Mexico as a tropical depression.
Dolly quickly got stronger again and became a tropical storm.
Just before it made another landfall in Mexico, it became Hurricane Dolly again on August 23.
The storm weakened a lot over Mexico and it died on August 26.
It killed about 14 in Mexico.
Hurricane Edouard
Hurricane Edouard was the strongest hurricane of the 1996 Atlantic hurricane season.
It started as Tropical Depression Five near Cape Verde on August 19.
Tropical Depression Five did not become Tropical Storm Edouard until August 22.
By the next day it had gotten stronger and it was Hurricane Edouard at this point.
Hurricane Edouard strengthened fast, peaking as a category 4 hurricane on from August 24 - 28.
After this, it weakened slightly, back to a category 3 hurricane.
It turned to the north and repeated this but did not again re-strengthen into a category 4 hurricane.
On September 2, Hurricane Edouard passed only 90 miles to the south of Massachusetts.
By the next day Hurricane Edouard had died.
Fran started on August 23 as Tropical Depression Six.
It slowly got stronger because Hurricane Edouard was near it.
The depression became Tropical Storm Fran on August 27.
Fran became a hurricane on August 29, weakened back to a tropical storm on August 30, and became a hurricane again on August 31.
Hurricane Fran did not get much stronger until it began on a track more to the north.
By September 5, it made landfall in Cape Fear, North Carolina as a category 3 hurricane.
It died on September 8.
Fran caused the deaths of 26 people and caused $3.2 billion in damage.
Tropical Storm Gustav
On August 26, Tropical Depression Seven started.
It slowly grew and became Tropical Storm Gustav.
It headed northwest and did not get any stronger because of the large size of Hurricane Fran and wind shear.
Wind shear also caused in to die on September 2.
Hortense started on September 3 as the eighth tropical depression in 1996 in the Atlantic.
It slowly strengthened, becoming Tropical Storm Hortense on September 7, four days later.
As a tropical storm, it passed into the Leeward Islands and entered the Caribbean Sea.
Continuing to slowly strengthen, it became Hurricane Hortense on September 9.
Hurricane Hortense made landfall on the southwestern part of Puerto Rico.
This resulted in $155 million in damage and the deaths of 18 people.
It also moved along the coast of Dominican Republic, which killed 3 people.
It soon re-entered the Atlantic Ocean, and it quickly strengthened.
By September 13, it had become a 140 miles per hour, category 4 hurricane.
Hortense started moving faster, but weakened at the same time.
Finally, by September 15 it had made another landfall in Nova Scotia.
In Nova Scotia, there was $3 million in damage.
Hurricane Hortense died on later on September 15.
Isidore started on September 24 a few hundred miles south of Cape Verde.
It headed westward and later peaked as a category 3 hurricane.
Hurricane Isidore began heading north after it became a category 3 hurricane.
Isidore weakened and died on October 1.

Unused storm names
In the spring of 1997 the following names got retired: Cesar, Fran and Hortense and there are replaced by Cristobal, Fay and Hanna for the 2002 season.
Nilotic is a word that refers to a number of people who speak Nilotic languages.
Today they live in Sudan, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Ethiopia.
Most of them are farmers, raising cattle.
Patkoló started to play the double bass when he was only 13.
This is quite a young age to play the double bass which is a very large instrument.
He soon showed his amazing talent and two years later won 1st prize in the National Slovak Competition.
Since then he has won many other competitions, including the International Double Bass Competition in 1999 in Iowa, USA.
The following year he won the Johannes Matthias Sperger International Music Competition, which is the world’s most famous competition for double bass playing.
Many other prizes followed.
He finished his studies in Munich in 2005.
He got a scholarship from the foundation organized by  the violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter.
This foundation has encouraged several composers to write new solo works for the double bass.
Mutter’s husband, the conductor Sir André Previn, composed a concerto for violin, double bass and orchestra, which was first performed in 2007 by the Boston Symphony Orchestra with Previn conducting and Mutter and Patkoló as soloists.
A notable recent collaboration is with composer Gediminas Gelgotas.
Their performance of Gelgotas' Sanctifaction premiered in February 2018 with publications by the Gramophone Magazine and the Strad.
In June 2018 both musicians performed live on BR Klassik.
Patkoló is asked to perform all over the world.
He now teaches at the University of Music Basel.
Healesville Sanctuary, or the Sir Colin MacKenzie Fauna Park, is a zoo at Healesville in  Victoria.
It only keeps animals that come from Australia.
It has a history of breeding Australian animals.
In 1943 it became the first zoo to breed a platypus.
The only other zoo to have bred a platypus is Sydney's Taronga Zoo.
It also helps by breeding  the endangered Helmeted honeyeater.
It is one of three zoos in Victoria run by Zoos Victoria; the others are the Melbourne Zoo and the Werribee Open Range Zoo.
The zoo is in a natural bush setting.
Paths wind through different habitat areas with wallabies, wombats, dingoes, kangaroos, and over 200 Australian birds.
There are tours, bird shows and information areas for visitors.
Dr Colin MacKenzie (knighted in 1929) set up the Institute of Anatomical Research in 1921.
It was on  of land which had been part of the Coranderrk Aboriginal Reserve.
The Reserve was given to the Healesville Council in 1927.
It became the Sir Colin MacKenzie Sanctuary in 1934.
By 1947 the sanctuary had grown into a major tourist attraction and the management was taken over by the Victorian government.
Since then the zoo has grown with new special features and facilites including the $6 million Australian Wildlife Health Centre in 2005.
Brush-tailed Rock-wallaby (Petrogale penicillata)
Helmeted honeyeater (Lichenostomus melanops cassidix)
Mountain Pygmy-possum (Burramys parvus)
Orange-bellied Parrot (Neophema chrysogaster)
Spotted Tree Frog (Litoria spenceri)

Tropical Storm Barry is a tropical cyclone that grew rapidly.
It made landfall on Florida in early June 2007.
It was the second Atlantic named storm of the 2007 Atlantic hurricane season.
Barry formed in the Gulf of Mexico and moved toward the northeast, reaching top wind speeds of 60 mph (95 km/h).
It then weakened and first reached land near Tampa Bay, Florida.
Barry quickly weakened after wind shear blew away most of the thunderstorms.
Barry moved up the East Coast of the United States and by June 5, it was taken over by an even bigger storm.
Rain from Barry in the Cuban province of Pinar del Río hurt three people and damaged 55 houses.
In Florida, Barry caused heavy rain in an area that had been in drought.
Flooding and wet roads killed two people in traffic accidents.
Rough seas killed one surfer in Pinellas County, Florida.
In Florida and Georgia, the rain helped firefighters fight wildfires.
Damage from the storm was minor.
On May 29, a weather system in the Yucatán Peninsula created a small area of thunderstorms over the Yucatán Channel.
The thunderstorms got stronger near the weather system.
By May 30, clouds from the area reached from Nicaragua to the southeastern Gulf of Mexico.
Another weather system, called a tropical wave, created a storm on May 30.
The next day, a cyclone formed inside the system.
The storm moved towards the north-northeast, and slowly gained strength.
More thunderstorms formed near the center, and the system became a tropical depression.
A tropical depression is a type of storm.
The depression developed an area of squalls (sudden, violent storms with wind and rain).
A Hurricane Hunters airplane flew into the area to collect information about the cyclone.
At the beginning, the tropical depression looked to be both a tropical and subtropical cyclone.
On June 1, the National Hurricane Center named the storm Tropical Storm Barry.
Barry was now 235 miles (375 km) to the west of Key West, Florida.
Barry moved quickly towards the north.
On June 2, it reached its strongest with winds of 60 mph (95 km/h).
After Barry reached its maximum strength, strong wind shear removed much of the thunderstorms from the tropical cyclone.
The center of the system then increased in length, and it began to weaken.
At 1400 UTC on June 2, Barry made landfall near Tampa, Florida while it was at tropical depression status.
As Barry moved inland, it weakened more.
Later that day, the National Hurricane Center said that Barry had died out over northeastern Florida.
What was left of Barry continued to move northeast.
On June 3, it moved onto shore again, this time in South Carolina.
Late on June 4, the extratropical system entered New England.
Late on June 5, what was left of the cyclone was taken over by a larger weather system, near the border of the U.S. state of Maine and the Canadian province of Quebec.
When Barry was named as a tropical storm, the National Hurricane Center sent out a tropical storm warning for the west coast of Florida from Bonita Beach through Keaton Beach.
Also, a tropical storm watch was issued from Keaton Beach, northward to Saint Marks.
An inland tropical storm warning was also sent out for inland parts of Charlotte, Citrus, DeSoto, Hardee, Hernando, Highlands, Lee, Levy, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, Sarasota, and Sumter counties.
The storm increased the risk of rip currents, so officials told swimmers to stay out of the water until the storm left the area.
A tornado watch was sent out for the southern part of the state, but it was removed after the storm lost strength.
Barry caused heavy rain in Florida, the most rain being 6.99 inches (178 mm) at Palm Beach International Airport.
Other areas reported over 3 inches (75 mm) of rain.
The rain helped to get rid of drought conditions.
It also helped in fighting bad wildfires across the state.
In Brevard County, the rain caused a large sinkhole, a hole in the ground, to open in the middle of a road.
Other roads were flooded.
On Interstate 95, near Lake Worth, another sinkhole closed two lanes of traffic.
Wet slippery roads caused many traffic accidents in the state.
In Brevard and Volusia counties, drivers were killed in traffic accidents.
On Interstate 4, a tractor trailer crashed into a guardrail because of the weather.
The storm caused stormy seas along the coastline of Florida, with a storm surge of 4.78 feet (1.46 m) at Clearwater Beach.
The waves caused minor beach erosion.
The high surge also caused minor flooding on many roads near Tampa Bay.
At Indian Shores, a woman died after being injured by the high seas.
Barry caused high winds in Florida, which reached 47 mph (76 km/h), near the southeastern coastline of the state.
The winds knocked down trees and caused power failures.
In Carrolwood, one person was injured when a tree crashed onto their house.
The storm created at least two tornadoes, including some that damaged fences and power lines.
One possible tornado in Goulds, Florida left about 2,000 people without power.
Rest of the country
The storm also caused heavy rain in Georgia of up to 8 inches (203 mm).
The rain helped put out wildfires.
It also caused some minor flooding, and in Savannah, there were a few minor car accidents.
Winds blew down some trees and power lines.
Heavy rain from the storm moved across much of the East Coast of the United States.
High winds also occurred in South Carolina.
The remains of Barry caused strong winds along the Atlantic coast.
They reached 60 mph (97 km/h) near Charleston, South Carolina.
Around 200 houses in Craven County, North Carolina lost power.
In southeastern Virginia, the storm caused over 60 traffic accidents.
Ten people were injured in them.
High seas off Cape Fear left a sailboat with three people needing rescue from the Coast Guard.
Rain went north into the Mid-Atlantic States and New England, with 4.50 inches (113 mm) at Absecon, New Jersey, 3.91 inches (99 mm)  near Central Park, New York, and 3.19 inches (81 mm) at Taunton, Massachusetts.
Several roads and driveways were damaged by flooding in the Finger Lakes region of New York State.
Flash floods were seen in southeast New York, and high wind gusts caused some damage to trees.
In New Jersey, winds pushing over land caused high tides and minor coastal flooding.

The 2009 Atlantic hurricane season was a time period of 2009 when tropical cyclones were likely form in the Atlantic Ocean.
The season started on June 1, 2009 and it ended on November 30, 2009.
In this season Tropical Depression One formed early, on May 28.
In June and July there were no storms.
The most recent occurrence of no storms in June or July was in 1992.
In total there were 2 tropical depressions, 7 tropical storms, 3 hurricanes, and two of the three were major hurricanes.
On May 28, a small storm formed off the coast of North Carolina and became a tropical depression, called "One" by the National Hurricane Center.
The National Hurricane Center said that Tropical Depression One might strengthen into a tropical storm, but it did not because the water was cold and did not give enough energy to the storm.
It weakened and stopped being a depression the next day.
Tropical Depression Two formed on August 11 south of Cape Verde.
The system moved west and dissipated on August 13.
On August 15 the remains of Tropical Depression Two reformed.
Tropical Depression Two quickly strengthened into Tropical Storm Ana.
The storm continued west towards the Leeward Islands.
A few days later as the storm was still headed for the Leeward Islands it weakened to a tropical depression.
Ana struck Dominica on August 16 and dissipated the next day.
Hurricane Bill
On August 15, Tropical Depression Three formed and quickly strengthened into Tropical Storm Bill.
On August 17 Tropical Storm Bill became Hurricane Bill.
On August 18 Hurricane Bill became a major hurricane (Category 3+).
Hurricane Bill quickly strengthened into a category 4 hurricane on August 19, but weakened back on to a category 3 on August 20.
Hurricane Bill weakened to a category 2 on August 21, it again weakened the next day to a category 1 hurricane.
As a category one hurricane Bill came close to a landfall in Nova Scotia.
Near midnight (Eastern Time Zone) on August 23, Bill made landfall in Newfoundland and became extratropical the next day.
The remains affected United Kingdom.
Tropical Storm Claudette
Tropical Storm Claudette formed in the Gulf of Mexico as Tropical Depression Four early on August 16.
At 12:15 p.m. EDT the same day, it strengthened into Tropical Storm Claudette.
Early the next morning Claudette struck Santa Rosa Island, Florida.
Tropical Storm Claudette weakened and dissipated on August 18.
Tropical Storm Danny
Tropical Storm Danny formed north of Puerto Rico on August 26.
Danny top winds were at 60 mph.
Danny did not become a hurricane.
Danny instead, moved toward North Carolina as a weak tropical storm.
On August 29 Danny weaken into a depression and lost it clouds to an extratropical storm.
Danny did not reach North Carolina before losing its cloud.
Danny killed a boy in North Carolina due to rip currents.
Tropical Storm Erika formed on September 1 as Tropical Storm Erika, meaning it was never a tropical depression.
Tropical Storm Erika moved mostly west for most of the lifespan of it.
On September 2 Tropical Storm Erika made landfall in Guadeloupe.
Tropical Storm Erika weaken to a tropical depression and a remnant low on September 3.
The remnant low caused some rain to some of the northern islands of the Caribbean Sea.
Hurricane Fred
Tropical Depression Seven formed on September 7 south of the Cape Verde Islands.
Later on September 7 it became a tropical storm and was named Fred.
Early the next day, Tropical Storm Fred became Hurricane Fred, the second hurricane of the season.
Hurricane Fred became a major hurricane (Cat 3+).
Fred slowly weakened after becoming a category 3 hurricane.
On September 12 while a tropical storm, Fred became a remnant low and is no longer a tropical storm.
Tropical Depression Eight formed near Cape Verde on September 25.
Tropical Depression Eight was said that it would become a tropical storm, this did not happen.
Tropical Depression Eight instead became a tropical wave on September 26.
It is no longer a tropical depression.
Tropical Storm Grace
Tropical Storm Grace became a tropical storm late on October 4, it was also never a tropical depression while it was forming.
Tropical Storm Grace moved towards Ireland, but went into a frontal system on October 5, Grace was not a tropical storm anymore.
The remains affect Ireland and the United Kingdom.
Tropical Storm Henri
Tropical Storm Henri was a weak storm that stayed out in the ocean for most of its life.
It formed from a tropical wave on October 6 while moving northwest across the Atlantic.
On the next day, wind shear around the storm caused it to weaken into a remnant low.
Its remains were last seen near Cuba.
The storm did not come close to any land and did not cause any damage to property.
On November 4, Tropical Depression Eleven started in the Caribbean Sea.
Later that same day it became a tropical storm and was given the name "Ida".
Ida became a hurricane just before landfall on November 5.
Ida weakened fast over land and was a depression before the end of the day.
On November 6, Ida came back into the Caribbean Sea just north of Honduras.
Ida became a tropical storm again on November 7.
Ida later on became a hurricane again and weakened back to a tropical storm on November 9.
Ida made landfall in Alabama on November 10.
The storm died only about 4 hours later.
The remains of Ida became a nor'easter that killed 9 people.
