190510 Scientific approach to the 2017 Flood

Theres a study out of the Mahasarakham University about the 2017 flooding of Sakon Nakhon Province.  Much of the blame is directed at Tropical Storm SONCA, which dropped close to a foot of rain on the city.

Seems to me much of the flooding resulted when water was released from a dam for fear that it might burst. I might be wrong, but doubt it.


The article has a lot of higher learning jargon which make little sense to the average reader.
Interesting is the breakdown of two types of monsoons: southwest and northeast. 
I'd correct the southwest to include west and northwest (as witnessed over the last few days).
The northeast monsoon generally starts around the Buddhist rain retreat

190506 Two ladies stocking lightbulb shelves claim "Don't have"

It's a very typical answer for various reasons.
I did a pantomime act of motion sensor and was directed to day-night sensors. Motion sensors were a shelf above.
 
They are great for those nighttime adventures to the refrigerator and even the toilet.  No switches to search for.

Daylight detectors operate during the day and in darkness. Others only function in darkness.


You will need to look at the side panel. Different brand names have different specifications. I prefer the 90 second delay.  Some sensors detect motion through the top of the bulb, while other sense through the sides.
