Talk:List of book titles taken from literature

Needs a better introduction
I'm tempted to add a "Lack of Context" tag to this article. I think an introductory paragraph needs to be added to explain what this list is all about, as it is not immediately obvious. 23skidoo 03:21, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Addition of unsourced tag
Editor Otto4711 has yesterday added the tag. I didn't create this list in the first place, but I have edited it. I think that the demand for sourcing is unreasonable. The only way in which the list as a whole could be sourced is if it was based on a similar published list. It isn't that, because it's based on wikipedia content, like a disambiguation page. Nobody demands sourcing for disambiguation pages, because they are simply lists of links within wikipedia. Structurally this is very similar. For each individual entry the appropriate sourcing is the statement within the article giving the origin of the book name, and mostly this is indeed present. If Otto4711 thinks the the whole list should be deleted, he should propose that explicitly (though I'd vote against), but asking for sourcing is asking the impossible. SamuelTheGhost (talk)
 * I agree, so I have been bold and have removed it. The point of sources is for the information inserted in Wikipedia to be verifiable, and each entry of this list is immediately verifiable: in a sense the column "Literary reference" is the, well, reference for the respective table row. Goochelaar (talk) 18:15, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Somebody added the tag back about a year ago and I support that change. For some books with titles referencing other literature, the connection may seem obvious, but it's not always. I can imagine there have been titles that might look like they were taken from literature but weren't. With that in mind, I added a column in the table for references that corroborate the claim that the title of a book in one column of the table actually is taken from the literature mentioned in the other column in the table. Anybody else is welcome to add citations in that column for rows in the table that are not yet cited. --Dugan Murphy (talk) 18:56, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

bias
It's too English-world centered--83.60.60.8 (talk) 11:26, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Should we have a separate page for the Bible?
We already have one for Shakespeare and I think Bible quotation titles are probably up there in frequency with Shakespeare quotation titles. StrexcorpEmployee (talk) 14:03, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

California State Route 59

State Route 59 (SR 59) is a state highway in the U.S. state of California located entirely in Merced County. It connects State Route 152 near El Nido to the city of Merced and beyond, ending abruptly at the intersection of County Routes J59 and J16 in Snelling.

Route description
SR 59 begins at SR 152 as Los Banos Highway. The highway travels north through the town of El Nido until entering the city of Merced, where it runs concurrently with the SR 99 freeway and with SR 140. SR 59 leaves the concurrency on the west side of Merced and travels north as the Snelling Highway. The highway winds up the Sierra Nevada foothills until it passes through Snelling, where it ends.

SR 59 is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System, but except for a portion in Merced is not part of the National Highway System, a network of highways that are considered essential to the country's economy, defense, and mobility by the Federal Highway Administration.

Future
In January 2010, the Tuolumne County board of supervisors made a formal request to the state to add the entire length of County Route J59 as a northerly extension of State Route 59 from its terminus in Snelling, Merced County, to the intersection of State Routes 108 and 120 in Tuolumne County.

Scotland, PA

Scotland, PA is a 2001 American black comedy crime film written and directed by Billy Morrissette as a modernized retelling of Macbeth. The film stars James LeGros, Maura Tierney, and Christopher Walken. The Shakespearean tragedy, originally set in Dunsinane Castle in 11th-century Scotland, is reworked into a dark comedy set in 1975, centered on "Duncan's Cafe", a fast-food restaurant in the small town of Scotland, Pennsylvania. The film was shot in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Plot
In 1975, Duncan's, a fast-food restaurant owned by Norm Duncan in the tiny hamlet of Scotland, Pennsylvania, hosts a variety of workers. Joe “Mac” McBeth is passed over for a promotion to manager by Douglas McKenna, who has been embezzling the restaurant's money. Three stoned hippies, one a fortune teller, inform Mac that they see a bank drive-thru style restaurant in his future as management. Mac and his wife Pat then play informants on McKenna, and Duncan recognizes the value of Mac's efforts on behalf of the restaurant. Duncan shares with the McBeths his plans to turn his failing burger joint into a drive-through, and Mac realizes how profitable the drive-through could be, after which Duncan is hit in the head with a refrigerator door and passes out briefly. Pat then decides to murder Duncan in a staged robbery. Mac and Pat attack Duncan to acquire the combination to the restaurant's safe, and Mac assaults Duncan, but is distracted by a vision of the three hippies, allowing Duncan to fall head first into a deep fryer that splatters and burns Pat's hand. Investigator McDuff arrests a local homeless man, to whom Pat has given Duncan's jewelry, and the restaurant is willed to Duncan's eldest son, Malcolm. Malcolm sells the restaurant to the McBeths who immediately realize Mac's ideas, and the restaurant's business takes off.

Investigator McDuff returns to Scotland, where the homeless man is cleared, and the McBeths focus their attention on Malcolm. Banko, Mac's friend, questions why Mac had never mentioned the drive-thru concept. Mac grows withdrawn and paranoid and on a hunting trip contemplates killing off Banko, but a vision of the three hippies dressed as deer distracts him. Pat becomes obsessed with her burn injury and accuses people of staring at her repulsive-looking hand, though no scar is visible. Mac then kills Banko with the homeless man's gun, and the body is discovered while new celebrity Mac gives a press conference. Mac calls on an hallucination of Banko to ask a question at the press conference and loses his sanity as the town watches on TV. He then returns to the woods to look for the hippies while Pat becomes deluded into thinking her hand is falling off. Mac then completely loses his sanity, answering and talking on the phone when no one is on the other end. In one conversation, the hippies suggest he kill McDuff's family. Mac grabs the sheriff's gun and orders the officer to call McDuff to the restaurant, where he then shoots McDuff, but the gun proves to be empty. They then wrestle for the inspector's gun on the roof of the restaurant and both fall off. Mac is impaled on the horns of his car. Pat self-medicates with alcohol, but then cuts her hand off and bleeds to death. McDuff takes over the restaurant, fulfilling his dream of working with food.

Cast

 * James Le Gros as Joe 'Mac' McBeth, Macbeth
 * Maura Tierney as Pat McBeth, Lady Macbeth
 * Christopher Walken as Lieutenant McDuff, Macduff
 * Kevin Corrigan as Anthony 'Banko' Banconi, Banquo
 * James Rebhorn as Norm Duncan, Duncan
 * Tom Guiry as Malcolm Duncan
 * Amy Smart as Stacy (Hippie #1), Three Witches
 * Timothy Levitch as Hector (Hippie #2), Three Witches
 * Andy Dick as Jesse (Hippie #3), Three Witches
 * Billy Morrissette as man walking his dog in front of the diner at the start of the film

Production
In South Windsor, Connecticut, his hometown, "I (Morrissette) was 16 and worked at Dairy Queen, and I hated my boss. I had read 'Macbeth' that same year and started telling people that this play would be hysterical if it took place in a fast food restaurant and everyone in the restaurant is named Mac". Morrissette completed the script in 1998.

Press kit
The press kit for the movie was printed in the form of a CliffsNotes booklet, written by Professor David Linton of Marymount Manhattan College, which is what Morrissette was reading when he was studying Shakespeare.

Music
The soundtrack is made up of Bad Company songs because, in Morrissette's words, "the band's catalogue was surprisingly inexpensive".

Reception
Orlando Weekly called it "high-spirited", with "era-hopping giddiness"and "a rib-poking gambol".

The New York Observer called it "a trailer-trash version of Macbeth that should be avoided like an Elizabethan pox" and "grubby low-budget sendup of 70’s pop culture".

Movieguide called it "a hilarious, modern re-telling of William Shakespeare’s great tragic play" and a "morality tale".

Salon.com called it "a one-note movie — the note being a smart-aleck adolescent's idea of a Shakespeare parody".

SPLICEDwire called it "deliriously funny, fast and loose, accessible to the uninitiated, and full of surprises".

Awards
The film was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival in 2001.

Adaptation
In 2019 it was announced that a musical adaptation would premiere Off-Broadway at the Laura Pels Theatre by Roundabout Theatre Company. The musical, directed by Lonny Price, features book by Michael Mitnick, music and lyrics by Adam Gwon, and choreography by Josh Rhodes. It starred Ryan McCartan, Taylor Iman Jones, Megan Lawrence, Jay Armstrong Johnson, Jeb Brown, Lacretta, Will Meyers, Alysha Umphress, Kaleb Wells, and David Rossmer.

Dialing for Dollars

Dialing for Dollars was a franchised format local television program in the United States and Canada, popular from the 1950s to the early 1990s.

Format
At the beginning of a typical Dialing for Dollars program, the host (a local television personality) would announce the day's password, which often contained one or more of the following: a secret word, the amount of money at stake, and a randomly determined "count." Each time the game was played, the host would randomly select and call a telephone number, using either numbers previously submitted by viewers or slips of paper cut from residential telephone directories. If the chosen person answered the call within a set number of rings and gave the correct password, he/she won the money at stake; if not, money was added to the prize for the next playing. The prize was reset to a starting value after it was won.

The count, when it was part of the password, consisted of a number from 1 to 9 and a direction of "up" or "down." The host drew a slip cut from the telephone book(s) for the viewing area, each containing several numbers, then used the count to choose the number by counting down from the first number listed or up from the last one. For example, a count of "6 Down" meant that the sixth number down from the top would be called. A common password was "the count and the amount," or the day's count and the total money at stake on that particular playing.

Dialing for Dollars originated as a radio program in 1939 on WCBM in Baltimore, Maryland, hosted by Homer Todd. With the advent and rise of commercial television broadcasting in the U.S. during the late 1940s and 1950s, the format switched to television and was franchised nationally as a popular, low-budget way to fill local market airtime, especially in the late mornings.

On some stations (such as KTVU hosted by Pat McCormick, who also did voices for the Charley & Humphry puppets during a local cartoon show), the Dialing for Dollars format would be used during the local telecasting of a morning or afternoon movie. The film would be interrupted by a Dialing for Dollars segment every so often, rather than going to a commercial break, after which the program either went to a commercial or directly back to the film. On others, such as WKBW's version and WTNH's version, both versions are variety shows complete with studio audience and mini-games, The difference between both stations is that WTNH's version also contains special guests and performances after dialing games or mini-games. However, WKBW's version runs for an entire hour, and WTNH's version runs for 30 minutes as normal.

By the mid-1970s, the popularity faded for the Dialing for Dollars format, as competition developed from daytime talk shows, and more sophisticated game shows coming from syndication. Another factor in the show's decline was the trend of fewer households having stay-at-home members available to answer the phone during the day. Dialing for Dollars left the Baltimore airwaves in 1977 (although it is still seen in a few markets), after giving away $800,000 locally in its 38-year run there on radio and television.

Broadway producer Lee Guber attempted to resurrect the concept on a national basis in 1987, meeting with Canadian broadcaster Peter Emmerson with regards to hosting what would have emanated from the former GFG Productions facilities in Brooklyn. The project was never completed due to Guber's illness which was diagnosed soon after; he died of a brain tumor on March 27, 1988.

The program has also been satirized on the Canadian sketch comedy series SCTV.

Live with Kelly and Ryan carries on the tradition with its daily Travel Trivia contest, and a few local shows directly trace their lineage to Dialing for Dollars (an example is AM Buffalo).

The program was also referenced in Janis Joplin's classic hit song "Mercedes Benz" from the 1970 album "Pearl".

More recently, cable network Adult Swim has periodically revived the concept beginning in mid-2018 for their online livestream; due to the original concept being rendered obsolete by the advancement of technology, instead viewers of the livestream must memorize a certain word (indicated by the onscreen appearance of a plane marked "SPY"). Viewers that enter their phone number into the Adult Swim website can then have a chance to be picked to win a prize of some sort if they are picked during the drawing (which is broadcast Thursdays at 9PM on the livestream) and say the correct word.

Other local formats
A similar format, The Money Man, was used on WLOS-TV Asheville, North Carolina, in the late 1960s. Host Bob Caldwell would call viewers and ask them to tell how much money was in the jackpot and name the show or star of the day. This aired in late afternoons, during reruns of Perry Mason and the station's 5:30 PM newscast.

Another similar format, the Prize Movie, aired for many years on WUAB-TV in Cleveland, Ohio; host John Lanigan would call people in a manner similar to Dialing for Dollars, and would spin a wheel containing photos of both station personalities and stars of the syndicated fare seen on the station; he would then ask the caller to identify that person. If they did so successfully, they won the jackpot (which always ended in 43 cents). This lasted for many years until the station opted to replace the Prize Movie with a slate of syndicated talk shows in the fall of 1993; this was a failure and the Prize Movie was brought back in January of 1994 and ended for good that August.

WFLI-TV in Chattanooga, Tennessee, beginning with its first year of operation in 1987, ran a 30-minute live and locally-produced program entitled 53 Trivia Spin. The program was equivalent to the Dialing for Dollars format, hosted by Bob Broome and Cynthia Davis. Bob would give the viewers a question, and then a person would call in to answer the question. Once the caller gets a correct answer, the caller then chooses a number between 1 and 18 (including two "53" spaces) that were listed on the wheel before Cynthia would spin it. Once a random non-selected number was landed, the caller would win a selected amount of money or a smaller prize that was given such as coupons and tickets. If a selected number was landed, a big prize would be given to the caller such as vehicles and trips. Prizes were changed each round.

Gelnica

Gelnica (Gölnicbánya, Göllnitz) is a town in the Košice Region of Eastern Slovakia. It has a population of 6,076.

Names
The name comes from the name of the river Hnilec derived from Slavic word hnilý (rotten). The initial g in the German form Göllnitz indicates that the name was adopted by Germans before the spirantisation of Slavic g to h in Slovak (around the 12th century). The current Slovak name Gelnica comes from this secondary German form. The Hungarian Gölnicbánya (bánya – mine) refers to the town's mining activity.

Geography
It is located in the northern part of the Slovak Ore Mountains, in the Hnilec river valley, which flows a few kilometres downstream into Hornád. The town lies at the both banks of Hnilec, has an altitude of 375 m, and is located around 38 km from Košice.

History
Carpathian Germans chiefly from Bavaria began to settle the formerly Slavic settlement during the 13th century. By 1264 it was an established mining town and became a royal mining town of the Kingdom of Hungary by 1276, from where the first mentioned is recorded (as "Gelnic"). For many years Gelnica was a chief mining town in Szepes County of the Kingdom of Hungary. Silver, copper, but also gold, quicksilver, lead and iron ore were mined in the mines. Between 1465–1520, Gelnica lost most of its privileges. The town's population in the second half of the 16th century is estimated at 1000 people, whereby the ratio of Germans and Slovaks, who were the main ethnic groups, is estimated to have been 3:1. In 1910, the town's population of 3833 inhabitants consisted of 2095 Germans, 1098 Slovaks and 606 Hungarians. The German population was expelled in 1945.

Sights
The town includes the ruins of a medieval castle, destroyed by a fire in 1685. Other attractions include a Gothic church and Renaissance town hall, both remodelled along Baroque lines, and a mining museum.

Demographics
According to the 2001 census, the town had 6,404 inhabitants. 95.92% of inhabitants were Slovaks, 1.55% Roma, 0.84% Germans and 1.02% Czechs. The religious makeup was 72.00% Roman Catholics, 15.88% people with no religious affiliation, and 4.03% Lutherans and 3.28 Greek Catholics. The Turchan's, or Turchon's, resided here until 1895.

Twin towns — sister cities
Gelnica is twinned with:

Lüders band

Lüders bands are a type of slip band or stretcher-strain mark which are formed due to localized bands of plastic deformation in metals experiencing tensile stresses, common to low-carbon steels and certain Al-Mg alloys. First reported by Guillaume Piobert, and later by W. Lüders, the mechanism that stimulates their appearance is known as dynamic strain aging, or the inhibition of dislocation motion by interstitial atoms (in steels, typically carbon and nitrogen), around which "atmospheres" or "zones" naturally congregate.

As internal stresses tend to be highest at the shoulders of tensile test specimens, band formation is favored in those areas. However, the formation of Lüders bands depends primarily on the microscopic (i.e. average grain size and crystal structure, if applicable) and macroscopic geometries of the material. For example, a tensile-tested steel bar with a square cross-section tends to develop comparatively more bands than would a bar of identical composition having a circular cross-section.

The formation of a Lüders band is preceded by a yield point and a drop in the flow stress. Then the band appears as a localized event of a single band between plastically deformed and undeformed material that moves with the constant cross head velocity. The Lüders Band usually starts at one end of the specimen and propagates toward the other end. The visible front on the material usually makes a well-defined angle typically 50–55° from the specimen axis as it moves down the sample. During the propagation of the band the nominal stress–strain curve is flat. After the band has passed through the material the deformation proceeds uniformly with positive strain hardening. Sometimes Lüders band transition into the Portevin–Le Chatelier effect while changing the temperature or strain rate, this implies these are related phenomena Lüders bands are known as a strain softening instability.

If a sample is stretched beyond the range of the Lüder strain once, no Lüder strain occurs any more when the sample is deformed again, since the dislocations have already torn themselves away from the interstitial atoms. For this reason, deep drawing sheets are often cold rolled in advance to prevent the formation of stretcher-strain marks during the actual deep drawing process. The formation of Lüder bands can occur again with a deformation over time, since the interstitial atoms accumulate by diffusing processes called precipitation hardening (or aging).

2007 Pacific typhoon season

The 2007 Pacific typhoon season was a near average season which featured 24 named storms, fourteen typhoons, and five super typhoons. It was an event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation, in which tropical cyclones form in the western Pacific Ocean. The season ran throughout 2007, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and November. The season's first named storm, Kong-rey, developed on March 30, while the season's last named storm, Mitag, dissipated on November 27. The season's first typhoon, Yutu, reached typhoon status on May 18, and became the first super typhoon of the year on the next day.

The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, to the north of the equator between 100°E and the 180th meridian. Within the northwestern Pacific Ocean, there are two separate agencies that assign names to tropical cyclones, which can often result in a cyclone having two names. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) will name a tropical cyclone should it be judged to have 10-minute sustained wind speeds of at least 65 km/h anywhere in the basin. PAGASA assigns unofficial names to tropical cyclones which move into or form as a tropical depression in their area of responsibility, located between 115°E–135°E and between 5°N–25°N, regardless of whether or not a tropical cyclone has already been given a name by the JMA. Tropical depressions that are monitored by the United States' Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) are given a numerical designation with a "W" suffix.

City University of Hong Kong
Since the 2000 typhoon season, the Laboratory for Atmospheric Research (LAR), of the City University of Hong Kong have issued forecasts of activity for each upcoming typhoon season. Forecasts were released in April and June predicting how many tropical cyclones, tropical storms, and typhoons there will be during the season. During the season, the LAR is predicting a below average season with fewer than usual tropical cyclones. In its April forecast, the LAR predicted that 28 tropical cyclones, 25 tropical storms, and 14 typhoons before in its June forecast predicting 27 tropical cyclones, 24 tropical storms and 14 typhoons.

Tropical Storm Risk Consortium
Since the 2000 typhoon season, the Tropical Storm Risk Consortium (TSR) of the University College of London have issued forecasts of activity for each upcoming typhoon season. During 2007, forecasts were released in March, May, June, July and August predicting how many tropical cyclones, tropical storms, typhoons and intense typhoons there will be during a season. In its March forecast, TSR predicted that the season would be about 15% below average with 24 tropical storms, 15 typhoons and 7 intense typhoons. In its May forecast, TSR predicted that the season would now be near normal with 27 tropical storms, 17 typhoons and 8 intense typhoons forming during the season. Within their June July and August forecasts, TSR forecasted the season would be near normal with 27 tropical storms and 17 typhoons forming.

National meteorological service predictions
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), reported on January 27, 2007, that they were expecting 15–19 tropical cyclones to move through their area of responsibility, during the upcoming typhoon season. They also predicted that due to the weak El Niño event that was occurring the first tropical cyclone wouldn't move through their area of responsibility until May.

Seasonal summary
According to PAGASA, the Philippines had its second quietest season with 14 named storms since the 1998 season, with the 2010 being the most quiet season.

Typhoon Kong-rey
On March 26, the JTWC identified a broad area of low pressure in the Western North Pacific. It moved west-northwestward over the next few days, slowly gaining organization. According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, it became a tropical depression on March 30. The next day, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert due to an increased consolidation of the low-level circulation of the system. The JTWC issued its first warning on Tropical Depression 01W late that evening local time. As it continued to strengthen, the JTWC upgraded it to a tropical storm, the first of the season. The JMA followed suit, and named the system Kong-rey. The name was submitted by Cambodia, and refers to a character in a Khmer legend, which is also the name of a mountain.

Kong-rey continued to organize and intensified into a severe tropical storm early the next morning local time. The JTWC then upgraded it to a typhoon on April 2. As the system took a more poleward track towards the Northern Mariana Islands, the National Weather Service office in Guam noted that damaging winds were now not expected on the island. Elsewhere in the Marianas, preparations were made and flights were cancelled in anticipation of the typhoon. Kong-rey passed through the islands in the early hours of the morning on April 3 local time. The JMA upgraded Kong-rey to a typhoon later that afternoon, as it developed an eye. It strengthened slightly further before encountering wind shear and colder sea surface temperatures and was downgraded back to a severe tropical storm on April 4. As Kong-rey accelerated towards the northeast, it began undergoing extratropical transition early on April 5 and the JTWC issued its final warning. The JMA issued its final warning on the morning of April 6 after it had completed extratropical transition. No casualties or major damage was reported.

Typhoon Yutu (Amang)
On May 15, a significant consolidation of organisation in a tropical disturbance located south-southeast of Guam led to Dvorak technique numbers equating to a windspeed of 45 kn from the Air Force Weather Agency. Later that day, the Japan Meteorological Agency designated the system a tropical depression, and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert. The next day, the JMA began issuing full advisories on the tropical depression. It developed slowly, resulting in a reissuance of the TCFA later that day. In this second TCFA, the JTWC noted "an increasingly well-defined" low-level circulation centre. The JTWC upgraded the system to Tropical Depression 02W at 1200 UTC, based on satellite intensity estimates and QuikSCAT. The JMA designated 02W as Tropical Storm Yutu early on May 17, as the system strengthened further. The name 'Yutu' was contributed by China, and refers to a rabbit in a Chinese fable. The JTWC followed suit 3 hours later, upgrading the system to Tropical Storm 02W as it moved quickly westwards, heading for Yap. Tropical storm warnings and watches were put in place for most of the Yap State, but were later cancelled after Yutu passed through quickly.

It then took a northwesterly turn, entered the PAGASA area of responsibility on May 18 as it reached severe tropical storm strength, and was named "Amang". Later that day, the JTWC upgraded it to a typhoon, and identified a "distinct eye feature", and the JMA upgraded the severe tropical storm to a typhoon at 1800 UTC as it continued to intensify. It began to recurve towards Iwo Jima, undergoing rapid intensification, with "enhanced poleward outflow and low vertical wind shear". It reached its peak on the evening of May 20, as a strong Category 4-equivalent typhoon, just short of becoming a super typhoon. Despite moving into cooler waters, its strong poleward outflow helped it to maintain a high intensity, while carrying a 20 nautical mile-wide eye, on the early morning of May 21. It then began to gradually weaken, passing over Okinotorishima and near Iwo Jima that day as it sped off to the northeast. Maximum winds on Iwo Jima occurred around 1500 UTC that day, with 66 kn sustained gusting to 104 kn, when a minimum central pressure of 976 hPa was recorded. It then started extratropical transition, and the JTWC issued its final warning on the morning of May 22. The JMA issued its last advisory after extratropical transition completed a day later.

Tropical Storm Toraji
An area of disturbed weather formed in the South China Sea on July 2 and gradually consolidated over the next two days as it moved west-northwestward. A Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert was issued by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center on the morning of July 4, and later that day the disturbance was upgraded straight to a tropical storm just south-east of Hainan Island. It made landfall on the island shortly after. China claimed that a tropical depression formed in the morning on July 2, made landfall in Hainan later that afternoon with maximum sustained winds of 15 m/s and deepened to 988hPa before making its second landfall. The Japan Meteorological Agency upgraded the tropical depression to Tropical Storm Toraji on the morning of July 5 while it was in the Gulf of Tonkin, after the centre of the storm had emerged back over water. The name Toraji was contributed by North Korea and refers to the broad bellflower (platycodi radix). Toraji made landfall in Vietnam around 1200 UTC later that evening, having not strengthened much while over the Gulf of Tonkin. The JMA never analysed the storm beyond 994 hPa and minimal tropical storm strength. The JTWC issued its last advisory after landfall, and the JMA followed suit shortly after.

Throughout Guangxi Province, an estimated 1.11 million people were affected by Toraji. Heavy rains produced by the storm inundated an estimated 7,500 hectares of farmland and damaged 1,300 homes. The flooding forced about 147,000 people to evacuate to safer locations. Damages from the storm amounted to ¥73.6 million (US$9.7 million). Several small fishing boats sank off the coast of Vietnam, the fate of the crews are unknown. Several other offshore incidents occurred, including a few collisions resulting in a minor oil spill. Throughout northern areas of the country, an average of 155 mm of rain fell, leading to flooding and landslides. At least 27 homes were damaged and 13 others were destroyed by the storm, leaving hundreds of millions of Vietnamese đồng in losses. A power station at a military base was damaged during the storm, leaving roughly 40 million (VND; US$2,240).

Typhoon Man-yi (Bebeng)
The Joint Typhoon Warning Center began to track an area of disturbed weather just north of the equator on July 4. The circulation centre and surrounding convection started to take shape, although the system was in a "marginal upper-level environment" with moderate vertical wind shear. Surface pressure drops of less than 0.5 mb (hPa) were observed on July 6, as the system moved westward. Early on July 7, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) listed the system as a weak tropical depression. Hours later, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert, as the system consolidated further with "deep convective banding" and improving upper-level conditions. The JTWC issued its first warning on Tropical Depression 04W later that day, and forecast a gradual intensification, as weak to moderate wind shear and weak poleward outflow balanced the effect of high ocean heat content. The JMA began issuing full tropical cyclone advisories on the tropical depression at the same time. As the depression gained more organisation, it was upgraded to a tropical storm that night by the JTWC. The JMA finally upgraded it to a tropical storm later that evening as the large system consolidated, naming it Man-yi. The name "Man-yi" was contributed by Hong Kong, and is the Chinese name of a strait turned reservoir (the High Island Reservoir). Man-yi continued to organize and became a severe tropical storm on July 9, when downed electricity lines caused widespread power outages on Guam. Tropical storm warnings and typhoon watches were put in place for most of Yap State at some point during the storm. Strong waves from the typhoon capsized a ship 375 mi to the northwest of Guam, killing three and leaving six missing. The JTWC upgraded the storm to a typhoon on the afternoon of July 10, based on Dvorak technique satellite intensity estimates of 65 kn by both the JMA and the JTWC. Early the next day, the system entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility and was named "Bebeng" by PAGASA. At the same time, the JMA upgraded Man-yi to a typhoon.

Moving over warmer waters, Man-yi underwent rapid deepening late on July 11 and early on July 12 as it churned towards Okinawa in Japan. The United States Military upgraded the Tropical Cyclone Condition of Readiness (TCCOR) levels for Kantō, Yokosuka, Sasebo and Okinawa on the afternoon of July 12 as Man-yi neared the islands. Man-yi was upgraded twice to super-typhoon strength over the next day as it passed through the prefecture, with a 1-minute peak of 155 mi/h. The passage of Man-yi resulted in 37 injuries and widespread power outages in Okinawa. The TCCOR level for Okinawa was downgraded to 1R (recovery) on July 13 while Kantō, Yokosuka and Sasebo's levels were all upgraded in anticipation of the typhoon. Man-yi made brief landfall in Kagoshima Prefecture on Kyūshū early the next day before turning to the east and making brief landfalls in Kōchi Prefecture on Shikoku and in Wakayama Prefecture on Honshū. As it interacted with land and started to undergo extratropical transition, the typhoon weakened and was downgraded to a tropical storm by the JTWC and a severe tropical storm by the JMA. It became extratropical on July 15 according to the JTWC and hence it issued its final advisory. The JMA issued its final advisory two days later.

Typhoon Usagi
On July 26, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center identified an area of disturbed weather east of the Mariana Islands. This area moved westward and increased in organization, and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert on the system on July 27. The Japan Meteorological Agency designated the system a tropical depression later that day. The next day, the JMA began issuing advisories on the depression, and the JTWC followed suit, designating it Tropical Depression 05W.

The system quickly strengthened as it approached the Mariana Islands, and the JTWC upgraded it to a tropical storm six hours later. The JMA did so early on July 29, designating the system as Tropical Storm Usagi. The name Usagi was contributed by Japan, and means "rabbit" in Japanese. The National Weather Service office in Guam issued tropical storm warnings for Pagan Island and Agrihan in the Northern Marianas shortly after the system was upgraded.

Usagi passed between Pagan and Agrihan later on July 29, and began to quickly strengthen. The JTWC upgraded it to a typhoon later that day, citing Dvorak technique numbers indicating an estimate of 65 kn and a developing eye. The system gradually turned toward the northwest, and the JMA upgraded it to a severe tropical storm early on July 30, and then to a typhoon on July 31 as it passed to the south of Iwo Jima. Usagi moved northwest over warm waters, reaching peak intensity on August 1 before weakening due to cooling sea surface temperatures and increasing wind shear as it approached Kyūshū. Usagi made landfall on August 2 near Nobeoka, Miyazaki as a rapidly weakening typhoon, and it was downgraded to a severe tropical storm shortly after. The system continued weakening rapidly as it moved across Kyūshū and Honshū, and the JMA downgraded it to a tropical storm later that day.

The JTWC downgraded the system to a tropical storm late on August 2 and issued its last advisory early on August 3 as it began to undergo extratropical transition. Usagi then made further landfalls on northern Honshū in Aomori Prefecture before becoming fully extratropical on August 4, leading the JMA to stop advisories. Usagi was responsible for 18 injuries in Kyūshū.

Tropical Depression 06W
An area of disturbed weather developed in the South China Sea on July 31. Despite strong wind shear in the area, the system gradually increased in organization as it remained nearly stationary, and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert on the system on August 2. The JTWC classified the system as Tropical Depression 06W shortly after, with the JMA designating it a tropical depression at the same time. Despite strong wind shear in the area, the system slowly intensified as it meandered along the coast of Vietnam, and the JTWC upgraded it to a tropical storm early on August 4. However, later that day, the JTWC downgraded the storm back to a depression due to the loss of most of the convection.

At least 60 people died in Vietnam due to extensive floods. Total rainfall from 06W in Vietnam throughout the course of the storm was over 24 in. Total rainfall in Hainan during the passage of the tropical storm was 9.1 in. In Thailand, the remnants of the storm lead to two casualties and about 272,757,962 Baht ($7.5 million US$) in damage.

Typhoon Pabuk (Chedeng)
A tropical disturbance developed southeast of Chuuk early on July 31. The system moved west-northwestward over the next several days with little change in organization. On August 4, however, organized convection quickly began to redevelop, and the Japan Meteorological Agency began monitoring it as a tropical depression. The system continued to strengthen, and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert on the system early the next day, noting that its environment was "strongly favorable for development". The Japan Meteorological Agency designated the system Tropical Storm Pabuk shortly after. The name "Pabuk" was submitted by Laos, and refers to a large freshwater fish in the Mekong River. The JTWC designated the system Tropical Storm 07W at about the same time, and on August 5 PAGASA named the system Chedeng. As Pabuk continued to move to the northwest, it gained some organisation as it slowly developed outflow. It was upgraded by the JMA to a severe tropical storm on August 6. Moving westwards towards Taiwan, an area of convection south of Pabuk separated and formed its own low-level circulation. Pabuk's upper-level outflow inhibited this new area of convection. Strengthening slightly, Pabuk was upgraded to a typhoon on the morning of August 7. The JTWC downgraded Pabuk to a tropical storm later that day, with the JMA downgrading Pabuk shortly before landfall. It made landfall in southern Taiwan around 1630 UTC according to Taiwan radar and crossed the southern tip of the Hengchun Peninsula in Pingtung County. The JTWC re-upgraded Pabuk to a typhoon at its next advisory, however, citing a small eye at landfall, before downgrading it to a tropical storm again three hours later.

After passing over Taiwan, Pabuk took aim at Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Observatory and Macau's Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau both hoisted strong wind signal 3 on August 9 as the system passed to the south of Hong Kong. The JMA downgraded the storm to a tropical depression later that day and issued its final public advisory, with the JTWC following suit shortly after. The tropical depression then turned back to the east-northeast on August 10, forcing the HKO to re-issue signal 3. The HKO also warned that winds were expected to strengthen further locally, and that the Hong Kong Education Bureau had suspended all classes for the day. The HKO upgraded Pabuk to a tropical storm and subsequently issued the gale or storm warning signal 8 at 2:30 pm HKT (0630 UTC) later that day as Pabuk moved closer to the territory. This was replaced by signal 3 later that night as Pabuk took another turn in direction and headed west inland into Guangdong. Early next morning, Pabuk resumed a northeasterly track, edging once again closer to the Pearl River Delta before it weakened further and HKO cancelled all signals.

At least 11 people were killed in the Philippines by Pabuk.

Tropical Storm Wutip (Dodong)
A tropical disturbance developed to the south of the developing Tropical Storm Pabuk on August 5, and was first mentioned by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in its Significant Tropical Weather Outlook on August 6. The Japan Meteorological Agency designated it a tropical depression later that night. By the next day, although still attached to Pabuk and being inhibited by shearing from an upper-level outflow anticyclone over Pabuk, the JTWC issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert. As Pabuk moved away, the depression gradually strengthened, and the JMA designated it Tropical Storm Wutip early on August 8. The name Wutip was submitted by Macau, and means butterfly. It struggled against land interaction, however, and did not strengthen considerably, remaining poorly organised. The storm quickly weakened, and the JMA issued its last advisory on Wutip early on August 9, downgrading it to a tropical depression. The JTWC issued its last advisory shortly after. Upon being classified a tropical storm, ships within 450 km of the storm were advised to take precautions and those not within that range were urged to avoid it.

Tens of thousands of residents in the northern Philippines took shelter from the storm as there was a high likelihood over severe flooding due to already saturated grounds. Schools throughout the area were canceled for several days due to the storm. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) placed Batanes under storm signal 2 while the Babuyan Islands were under storm signal 1. In Taoyuan County, Taiwan (now Taoyuan City), a level three emergency response warning was put in place as Wutip approached the island. Fourteen flights in and out of Taiwan were canceled due to the approaching storm and all ferry service was canceled.

Previously saturated by Typhoon Pabuk, the outer bands of Wutip produced torrential rains over Luzon, Philippines, triggering numerous landslides and flash flooding. Two people were killed in a landslide in northern Luzon while another was electrocuted in knee-deep flooding in Manila. Widespread street flooding resulted in large traffic jams and numerous road closures. Ten homes were destroyed and another 32 were damaged by Wutip. A total of six people were killed by the storm, three due to electrocution, and seven were injured due to a tornado. A total of 239,292 people were affected by the storm and damages amounted to PHP16.8 million (US$349,000). Following the flooding, the civil defense operations center in the Philippines deployed relief teams supplied with food to assist the affected regions.

Typhoon Sepat (Egay)
An area of disturbed weather developed west of the Northern Mariana Islands on August 11. Early the next day, the JMA began issuing advisories on the depression, and the JTWC followed suit, designating it Tropical Depression 09W. Twelve hours later, the JTWC upgraded the tropical depression to a tropical storm based on Dvorak technique satellite intensity estimates and the storm exhibiting tightly curved convective bands. An upper-level low helped to reduce wind shear that had been affecting the storm. The JTWC also warned of the possibility of rapid intensification. The JMA upgraded the depression to a tropical storm later that day and named it Sepat, a name contributed by Malaysia referring to a freshwater fish species.

By early on August 13, Sepat had moved into PAGASA's area of responsibility and attained the local name "Egay". The JMA upgraded Sepat to a severe tropical storm shortly after. Late that night, Sepat underwent rapid intensification as expected, and was upgraded by the JTWC to a super typhoon the next morning. Sepat slowed in forward speed and took a turn from a west-southwest motion to a more poleward one. Continuing to intensify, Sepat reached a peak minimum central pressure of 910 hPa on the morning of August 16. High ocean heat content and good equatorward outflow allowed Sepat to maintain its intensity, but an eyewall replacement cycle began later that night, resulting in weakening. It made landfall in eastern Taiwan between Taitung and Hualien on the morning of August 18 local time at around 5 am (2100 UTC August 17) and weakened to a minimal typhoon. After crossing the island, Sepat held on to minimal typhoon intensity before weakening to a severe tropical storm that night. It made a second landfall, in mainland China, about 24 hours after landfall on Taiwan and was downgraded to a tropical storm the next morning. It further weakened inland and the JMA issued its final advisory on the morning of August 20.

On August 15, monsoon rains brought by Typhoon Sepat flooded and paralyzed traffic in Metro Manila. Classes and services in government offices were suspended until August 17.

Typhoon Fitow
On August 28, an area of disturbed weather that had lingered east-northeast of Saipan became better organised. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center initiated warnings on Tropical Depression 10W the next morning, and the JMA initiated advisories on a tropical depression the same day. Under favourable conditions, the system intensified quickly, becoming Tropical Storm Fitow by afternoon and a severe tropical storm by the evening of August 29. The name Fitow was contributed by the Federated States of Micronesia, and is Yapese for a beautiful fragrant flower. Rapid intensification ensued, and Fitow became a typhoon early on August 30. Fitow made landfall near Tokyo, Japan late on September 6 as a minimal typhoon. The JMA downgraded Fitow to a severe tropical storm early on September 7, and a tropical storm later that day. The cyclone degenerated into a remnant low on September 8.

In Japan, seven people were killed, and at least 50 were injured, as Fitow brought strong winds and heavy rain. Over 80,000 houses experienced a power outage. Transport in and around Tokyo was also affected, with nearly 200 flights cancelled and many commuter trains suspended. In the Tama area west of central Tokyo, flood warnings were issued for the Tama River, and many homeless people who lived along its banks were swept away.

Severe Tropical Storm Danas
A disturbed area of weather northwest of Wake Island formed early on September 3 and tracked north then northwest, becoming more organised, and on September 6 was recognised as a full tropical depression by the JMA. A TCFA was issued on the same day. The storm continued northwest-ward toward Japan, becoming Tropical Storm Danas early on September 7. The storm slowed its westward movement and headed north, and then northeast, becoming a severe tropical storm on September 9. By the 11th, cooler waters had weakened the storm down to a tropical storm and the storm degenerated into a remnant low later that day. The name Danas was submitted by the Philippines and is defined in the Filipino language as "to go through an experience" High waves from Danas injured two people in Japan.

Typhoon Nari (Falcon)
An area of disturbed weather developed northwest of Guam on September 10 and moved northwestward, slowly increasing in organisation. The Japan Meteorological Agency began monitoring the system as a tropical depression the next day. The depression continued to organise and strengthen, and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert on it during the afternoon of September 12, and began issuing advisories on Tropical Depression 12W an hour later. The JMA followed suit early on September 13 and initiated advisories on the system; PAGASA named the system Falcon shortly after. The depression continued to intensify, and the JMA upgraded it to Tropical Storm Nari later that morning. The storm then underwent rapid intensification that afternoon and evening, strengthening from a tropical depression to a typhoon in just 18 hours. The JMA upgraded Nari to a severe tropical storm late that afternoon, and by late that evening, Nari was upgraded to a typhoon. Nari reached its peak on September 14, and began weakening soon afterwards. It turned extratropical right after landfall in South Korea at tropical storm strength. At least 20 people have been killed or are missing due to the flooding caused by Nari. Rainfall totals reached a record 590 mm in Jeju, South Korea. The name Nari was submitted by South Korea, and means lily.

Typhoon Wipha (Goring)
An area of disturbed weather formed southeast of Naha, Okinawa early on September 13. This area gradually became better organised, and a TCFA was issued late on September 14. The JMA upgraded the storm to a tropical depression on September 15, and the JTWC soon followed suit with Tropical Depression 13W. PAGASA named the storm "Goring" later that day. On September 16, the storm had gained enough organisation to be designated as a tropical storm. On September 17, the storm underwent rapid intensification and quickly strengthened into a typhoon. It continued to strengthen rapidly and was upgraded by the JTWC to a super typhoon early on September 18. In the early hours, local time, of September 19, Wipha slammed into Fuding, near the Fujian–Zhejiang provincial border in China. However, before the storm made landfall it weakened slightly, becoming a Category 3-equivalent typhoon. Wipha originally threatened to pass over Shanghai, which would have made it the most destructive Chinese typhoon in over a decade. However, it veered to the south, making a direct impact unlikely. Throughout the Shanghai and Fujian-Zhejiang area, nearly 2 million people evacuated, including 1.5 million in Zhejiang and 291 thousand from low-lying areas, due to the threat from Wipha. The Xinhua News Agency considered the evacuations to be the region's most extensive in over a half century.

Boats, ferries, and ships were called back into port to take refuge in harbors. At both airports in Shanghai, at least twenty flights were canceled and fifty postponed. The typhoon also caused FIFA to reschedule four matches in the Women's World Cup. Flooding was severe. In the area, at least 80 streets were flooded and brought water levels in several rivers and reservoirs to dangerous levels. In total, nine people were killed and damage was estimated at over $880 million (US$).

Tropical Depression 14W
An area of disturbed weather formed about 460 nmi west of Guam early on September 19. It was recognised as a minor tropical depression by the JMA later that day. On September 20, the JTWC initiated advisories on Tropical Depression 14W. Initially forecast to become a tropical storm, it was impacted by strong vertical wind shear and degenerated into a remnant low on September 21.

Tropical Storm Francisco
An area of disturbed weather formed about 190 nmi south-southeast of Hong Kong early on September 19. It was recognised as a minor tropical depression by the JMA on the 21st, and upgraded to a full depression on the 23rd. The JTWC recognised Tropical Depression 15W at the same time. Nine hours after being declared a full depression, the JMA and the JTWC upgraded it to Tropical Storm Francisco. The storm traveled due west and over Wenchang on Hainan Island on September 24. Land interaction and moderate wind shear caused Francisco to weaken to a tropical depression as warnings were discontinued. The name 'Francisco' was submitted by the United States and is a common Chamorro man's name. A ship, carrying eight people sank over the South China Sea during the storm. Two of the people on the ship were rescued but the other six were listed as missing.

Severe Tropical Storm Lekima (Hanna)
A tropical disturbance wave near the Philippines gradually developed. PAGASA was first to upgrade it, declaring it Tropical Depression Hanna on September 27, and upgrading it to a tropical storm the next day. It made landfall in central Luzon early on September 29, and shortly thereafter the JMA declared the system Tropical Storm Lekima. It continued to strengthen and was upgraded to a severe tropical storm on September 30 (the JTWC upgraded it to a typhoon) and remained at such until landfall. It dissipated over land on October 5

Lekima brought heavy rains to Luzon causing a landslide that killed eight people, including three children, in Ifugao Province, while another person was found dead in Quezon City. Torrential rains also caused landslides, flooding, infrastructure damage, and disruption of transportation service in other parts of the country. Over 100,000 people were evacuated in southern China as the storm approached, and more than 20,000 fishing boats were recalled back to the harbors. On October 3, Lekima made landfall in Vietnam as a severe tropical storm. About 100,000 houses were destroyed and at least 42 people were reported dead or missing in Vietnam.

Tropical Storm Haiyan
A tropical low formed northeast of Wake Island on September 29, and it developed into a tropical depression late on September 30, which was operationally analyzed as an extratropical cyclone by the JMA on the next day. On October 2, the JMA classified the system as a subtropical depression, and on the next day, it upgraded into a tropical depression at noon on October 3, when deep convection over the system dissipated again. The JTWC analyzed that the depression had intensified into a tropical storm, early on October 4. Although operationally identified as an extratropical cyclone, the JMA analyzed that Haiyan had intensified into a tropical storm at 00:00, and had organized well enough that it had formed an eye-like feature, as well as deep convection and curved banding. UTC on October 5. Early on October 6, the JMA operationally upgraded the system to a tropical storm, but their post-storm analysis indicated that Haiyan had started to weaken and soon become a tropical depression at 06:00 UTC. The agency downgraded Haiyan to a tropical depression operationally late on the same day, as well as the JTWC downgraded it to a tropical depression at the same time in best track data. On October 7, Haiyan became totally exposed with a clear low-level circulation center, along with Severe Tropical Storm Podul, began to interact with it early on the same day, prompting Haiyan to accelerate northwards. Soon, the JMA declared that Haiyan had dissipated, and the remnants were later absorbed by the new extratropical cyclone transitioned from Podul. However, the JTWC determined that Haiyan completely dissipated late on October 7. Originally not recognized by JTWC, Haiyan was added to the best track database and designated as 27W in their post-season analysis.

Typhoon Krosa (Ineng)
In late September, a new system formed east of the Philippines. PAGASA declared it a tropical depression (Ineng) early on October 1, and the JMA and JTWC soon followed. It was upgraded to a tropical storm early on October 2, named Krosa. Rapid intensification took place on October 2 and it was upgraded to a typhoon by the JTWC by midday. As it intensified, it gained a wide, ragged eye and began to track to the west, becoming a typhoon by the JMA early on October 3. It continued to rapidly intensify that day before leveling off as a Category 4-equivalent typhoon on October 4. Fluctuations in intensity soon followed as Krosa approached Taiwan, as the JMA upgraded it to 105 kn and the JTWC to a super typhoon early on October 5. It slowly weakened afterward before making landfall in northeastern Taiwan on October 6. At least 17 people were reported injured there, as the typhoon headed for China. An evacuation of 730,000 people from China's Zhejiang and Fujian provinces was ordered on the evening of October 6. The extratropical remnants of Krosa crossed the International Date Line on October 12.

Severe Tropical Storm Podul
On October 6, a tropical depression east of Japan was upgraded to Tropical Storm Podul while racing northeast. It was short-lived over the northwest Pacific and degenerated into a remnant low early on October 7. One person was killed due to the effects of Podul in Japan.

It was upgraded to severe tropical storm status by JMA in post analysis.

Tropical Storm Lingling
On October 9, a disturbance from the North Central Pacific crossed the International Date Line, and became a tropical depression in the North Western Pacific, just east of the Date Line on October 11. It was upgraded to Tropical Storm Lingling by the JMA, and to Tropical Storm 18W by the JTWC, early on October 12. Lingling headed northeast, and gradually became weaker. On October 13, the JTWC issued its final advisory, and two days later the JMA did the same. An extratropical low incorporating the remnants of Lingling dissipated a few days later.

Typhoon Kajiki
An area of disturbed weather formed in the open ocean early on October 17, and tracked north-east. The JMA and the JTWC declared this area a tropical depression very early on October 19. Six hours later, it was upgraded to Tropical Storm Kajiki. Rapid intensification continued; another six hours later, it was upgraded to a severe tropical storm. Kajiki became a typhoon early on October 20 as it rapidly intensified. The storm reached peak intensity as it hit Iwo Jima and then gradually began weakening. The storm dropped upwards of 233 mm of rain on the island. The airport on Iwo Jima reported winds gusts up to 140 km/h.

Severe Tropical Storm Faxai (Juaning)
On October 25, an area of disturbed weather was classified as a tropical depression by the JMA; early the next day the JMA named it Tropical Storm Faxai as it moved north-west. The JTWC picked the system up as a tropical depression early on the 26th, but declared it extratropical twelve hours later without strengthening it to a tropical storm. PAGASA declared the system Tropical Storm Juaning around the same time the JTWC picked it up. Later on October 26, the JTWC resumed advisories as a tropical storm. The JMA declared Faxai a severe tropical storm as October 27 began; the same day, the JTWC stopped issuing advisories once more due to Faxai having completed its extratropical transition. The JMA also stopped issuing advisories on the same day.

Faxai killed one person and injured three others in Japan. One home, two hectares of farmland, and 2 km of roads were damaged by the storm. At the height of the storm, 9,605 residences were without power. Heavy rains trigged seven mudslides throughout the country. One ship sank during the storm. Total damages from Faxai totaled to ¥150 million ($1.5 million US$).

Typhoon Peipah (Kabayan)
An area of disturbed weather developed east of the Philippines on November 2. it was designated as Tropical Depression 21W & Tropical Depression Kabayan by PAGASA on November 3. It then went on to rapidly develop later that day and was upgraded to Tropical Storm Peipah by the JMA on November 3. Pepiah is a popular pet fish in Macau. Early on November 4 it was upgraded to a severe tropical storm. Later that day, just before landfall in the northern Philippines, the JTWC upgraded it to a typhoon. Upon landfall in Palanan, Isabela Province, it pounded strong winds over Northern Luzon, thus unroofing houses, downing power lines and blocking many roads. Once it emerged in the Philippine Sea, the JMA also upgraded it to a typhoon. The strengthening trend was short-lived, though, as hindered outflow weakened the system on November 7. It dissipated on November 9 before reaching Vietnam.

Tropical Storm Tapah
Early on November 8, the JTWC reported that an area of convection had persisted about 910 km, to the east of Guam. Quickscat data had revealed that there was weak troughing at the surface but no closed low level circulation center existed. Lying under the edge of an upper-level ridge the disturbance was in an area of moderate amount vertical windshear. Over the next couple of days an anticyclone helped to develop the disturbance so that the JMA declared it a Tropical Depression on November 11. Later that morning a TCFA, was issued by the JTWC later that morning as deep convection was now organizing into a partially exposed low level circulation center. Later that day the JTWC designated the depression, as 22W whilst it was located 530 km, to the southwest of Iwo To. The Depression at this stage was beginning to turn towards the north with deep convection consolidating since the TCFA was released, and was strongest along the northern edge of the system which was enhanced by poleward outflow into the midlatitude westerlies. Early on November 12, the depression was upgraded to a Tropical Storm by both the JMA and the JTWC with the name Tapah being assigned whilst located to the southeast of Iwo Jima. Both 1-minute and 10-minute peak windspeeds of 65 km/h, were reached as the JMA and the JTWC upgraded the depression to Tapah. It remained at this intensity until later that day when both the JMA and the JTWC downgraded it to a Tropical Depression, and issued their final advisories whilst it was going through an extratropical transition before it dissipated early on November 13.

Typhoon Hagibis (Lando)
On November 18, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center issued a TCFA on a Tropical Disturbance located east of the Philippines. Later that day the disturbance was upgraded to a Tropical Depression 24W by the JTWC. PAGASA also declared it Tropical Depression Lando early on November 19, and also upgraded it to a tropical storm soon after. The JTWC also upgraded it to a tropical storm that day. Early on November 21, the storm strengthened into a severe tropical storm. Later that afternoon, the JTWC upgraded Hagibis to typhoon status, and the JMA followed late that evening. The storm then wobbled off the coast of Vietnam beginning on November 22 where it gradually weakened. By November 24, due to its interaction with Typhoon Mitag, the storm turned back eastward in the South China Sea towards the Philippines once again. The JTWC issued its final advisory on November 27, although it was maintained by the JMA as it made landfall once again over the Philippines. It weakened to a depression east of the Philippines on November 28 and the JMA issued its final advisory.

Hagibis caused the deaths of nine people, all in the Visayas and Mindanao island groups.

Typhoon Mitag (Mina)
On November 20 an area of disturbed weather east of the Philippines strengthened and was classified as Tropical Storm Mitag by the JMA. The JTWC followed suit not long afterwards. The storm strengthened significantly early on November 21 and became a severe tropical storm. Later that day, the JTWC upgraded Mitag to a typhoon, and the JMA also upgraded it late that evening.

Philippine officials ordered the evacuation of 200,000 people on November 23, mostly from the Bicol Region as Mitag approached the coast. Additionally, the province of Albay declared a state of calamity.

As Mitag remained stationary in the Philippine Sea for a day as a Category 2-equivalent typhoon, it changed its course and instead of hitting Catanduanes and the Bicol Region, it will make a landfall at the Aurora–Isabela area. Nonetheless, PAGASA announced that there was still a possibility for the typhoon to once again change its course. The storm turned northwest towards northern Luzon and made landfall late on November 25. It tracked across the island and was downgraded to a severe tropical storm before emerging back over water on November 26. It turned back to the east before reaching Taiwan, and became extratropical on November 27.

Ten fatalities were attributed to Mina. The remnants of Mitag contributed to heavy rains in Okinawa which damaged 3 km of roads and triggered one landslide.

Tropical Depression 25W
On November 24 an area of disturbed area formed about 400 nmi south east of Guam. During the following day the JTWC issued a TCFA on the developing system whilst the JMA designated it as a minor tropical depression. On November 26 the JTWC designated the depression as Tropical depression 25W Over the next couple of days it tracked towards the north west maintaining its peak wind speeds of 25 kn. The depression then started its extra tropical transition on November 27 as it interacted with the Baroclinic zone, the JTWC then issued its final warning on 25W. This was because the depression would succumb to the increasing vertical sheer and decreasing sea surface temperatures as it completed its extra tropical transition.

Tropical Depression 26W
Possibly from the remnants of 25W, an area of disturbed weather formed south-east of Yap on November 26. The next day the JTWC issued a TCFA on the developing system. On November 28, the JMA declared it as a minor tropical depression, whilst later that day the JTWC followed suit and designated it as a tropical depression, with the JTWC assigning the number 26W to the depression. However the Tropical depression quickly became extratropical later that day with the JTWC issuing their final advisory on the storm later that day. However the JMA continued to monitor the Depression until it dissipated the next day.

Storm names
Within the Northwest Pacific Ocean, both the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) and the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) assign names to tropical cyclones that develop in the Western Pacific, which can result in a tropical cyclone having two names. The Japan Meteorological Agency's RSMC Tokyo – Typhoon Center assigns international names to tropical cyclones on behalf of the World Meteorological Organization's Typhoon Committee, should they be judged to have 10-minute sustained windspeeds of 65 km/h. PAGASA names tropical cyclones which move into or form as a tropical depression in their area of responsibility located between 135°E and 115°E and between 5°N and 25°N, even if the cyclone has had an international name assigned to it. The names of significant tropical cyclones are retired, by both PAGASA and the Typhoon Committee. Should the list of names for the Philippine region be exhausted then names will be taken from an auxiliary list of which the first ten are published each season. Unused names are marked in.

International names
During the season 24 tropical storms developed in the Western Pacific and each one was named by the JMA, when the system was judged to have 10-minute sustained windspeeds of 65 km/h. The JMA selected the names from a list of 140 names, that had been developed by the 14 members nations and territories of the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee. During the season, the name Peipah was used for the first time, after it replaced the name Vamei used in the 2001 season.

Philippines
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration uses its own naming scheme for tropical cyclones in their area of responsibility. PAGASA assigns names to tropical depressions that form within their area of responsibility and any tropical cyclone that might move into their area of responsibility. Should the list of names for a given year prove to be insufficient, names are taken from an auxiliary list, the first 10 of which are published each year before the season starts. The names not retired from this list will be used again in the 2011 season. This is the same list used in the 2003 season, except for the names Bebeng, Goring, Hanna, Lando, Mina, Nonoy, Pedring, Ramon, and Sendong, which replaces Batibot, Gilas, Harurot, Lakay, Manang, Niña, Pogi, Roskas, and Sikat. The names Hanna, Lando and Mina were used for the first time this year; Bebeng was previously used in the 1999 season. While Goring was previously used in the 1997 season. Names that were not assigned are marked in.

Trans-tubular potassium gradient

The trans-tubular potassium gradient (TTKG) is an index reflecting the conservation of potassium in the cortical collecting ducts (CCD) of the kidneys. It is useful in diagnosing the causes of hyperkalemia or hypokalemia. The TTKG estimates the ratio of potassium in the lumen of the CCD to that in the peritubular capillaries.

The following is the formula for calculating the TTKG:

$$ TTKG = {\frac{urine_K}{plasma_K}} \div {\frac{urine_{osm}}{plasma_{osm}}} $$

Note that this formula is valid only when Uosm >300 and UNa >25

The validity of this measurement falls on three assumptions: Significant reabsorption or secretion of K in the MCD seldom occurs, except in profound K depletion or excess, respectively.
 * (1) Few solutes are reabsorbed in the medullary collecting duct (MCD)
 * (2) Potassium is neither secreted nor reabsorbed in the MCD
 * (3)The osmolality of the fluid in the terminal CCD is known

A typical TTKG in a normal person on a normal diet is 8-9. During hyperkalemia or high potassium intake, more potassium should be excreted in the urine and the TTKG should be above 10. Low levels (<7) during hyperkalemia may indicate mineralocorticoid deficiency, especially if accompanied by hyponatremia and high urine Na.

During potassium depletion or hypokalemia, the TTKG should fall to less than 3, indicating appropriately reduced urinary excretion of potassium.

Sound
Is the process of Luder banding what makes for the characteristic creaking sound metal can make as it bends? —BenFrantzDale 03:30, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

 * (3.5 years later…) I think it is the twinning, not the Lüders bands, that causes the sound.

Lüders ?
Hello,

in French, we write Lüders with an s. In Germany, they also put an s but as it is in compound names, it could be the possessive (similar to english "'s").

Who's right ?

Indeed, the name is Lüders with an "s", from W. Lüders. I suggest changing the name of the page to avoid further confusions. Marechad (talk) 21:10, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
