NASA satellite imagery revealed that Cyclone Felleng is packing some powerful thunderstorms with overshooting cloud tops. An overshooting (cloud) top is a dome-like protrusion that shoots out of the top of the anvil of a thunderstorm and into the troposphere.

During the night-time hours (Madagascar local time) of Jan. 28, NASA-NOAA's Suomi NPP ...

But those studies did not factor in what types of chores the husbands were doing. The new study, published in the February issue of the journal American Sociological Review, shows that sex isn't a bargaining ...
