Storm (Marvel Comics)

Storm (Ororo Munroe) is a fictional superheroine appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, commonly associated with the X-Men. The character first appeared in Giant-Size X-Men #1 (May 1975), and was created by writer Len Wein and artist Dave Cockrum.

The daughter of a tribal princess from Kenya, but raised in Harlem and Cairo, Storm is a member of a fictional subspecies of humanity known as mutants, who are born with superhuman abilities. Storm has the ability to control the weather and can fly. She is a member of the X-Men, a group of mutant heroes who fight for peace and equality between mutants and humans. Possessing natural leadership skills and some of the most formidable powers in her team, Storm has led the X-Men from time to time, and has also been a member of the Avengers and the Fantastic Four. As an adult, Storm married her fellow superhero Black Panther, and was by marriage made queen consort of the African nation of Wakanda, but lost this title when they divorced.

The character is one of the most prominent X-Men, having appeared in many X-Men incarnations. Storm appears in five installments of the live-action X-Men film series, where she is portrayed by actress Halle Berry and by Alexandra Shipp in X-Men: Apocalypse.

Storm (Don Lawrence)

Storm is a soft science fiction/ fantasy comic book series originally (and for most albums) drawn by Don Lawrence.

Storm (Heather Nova album)

Storm is Heather Nova's follow-up album to South and her first independent record since departing from the label V2 Records. Nova financed the Storm album herself and released it in a handful of countries. The large United States market was not included. However, in 2007, Nova reported on her official website that she was working out a way to distribute her releases in America.

Simple and bare, the album is pure raw folk/ pop. The lyrics are still typical Nova. The album itself was a collaboration with the band Mercury Rev.

The track "Let's not talk about love" features vocals from French artist Benjamin Biolay

The lead single "River of Life" did little to help album sales due to its lack of a radio-friendly sound (that dominated South) or commercial ability. Nova fans may interpret the lack of pop flourishes to be a testament to a love of music and her desire to further develop as an artist rather than succumb to commercial pressures (which Nova cited as being her reason for leaving her previous label.)

Upon the release of Redbird, an article written in promotion by Nova's record label offered a sales figure of 400,000 copies for Storm, a strong figure for an independent release with limited distribution and lack of any radio play for the single.

Storm (Norwegian band)

Storm was a Norwegian Viking metal band that originally included Fenriz of Darkthrone and Satyr of Satyricon. Later on, Kari Rueslåtten, formerly of the band The 3rd and the Mortal, also joined them on vocals. The project only released one album, titled Nordavind, released in 1995, which makes them among the first viking and folk metal bands.

Storm (novel)

Storm is a novel written by George Rippey Stewart and published in 1941. The book became a best-seller and helped lead to the naming of tropical cyclones worldwide, even though the titular storm is extratropical. The book is divided into twelve chapters: one chapter for each day of the storm's existence.

Storm (ice cream)

Sold at Hungry Jack's fast food restaurants, a Storm is a flavoured ice cream dessert similar to McDonald's McFlurry ice cream. The product consists of vanilla flavoured soft serve ice cream served with either one of three flavours; Cookies & Cream ( Oreo), Flake or Rainbow ( Sprinkles). The selected flavour is then whipped together with the ice cream using a blender.

Storm (Vanessa-Mae album)

Storm is the seventh album by classical and pop musician Vanessa-Mae.

Storm (soft drink)

Storm was a lightly carbonated, caffeinated lemon- lime flavored soft drink. It was test marketed by PepsiCo in some areas of the U.S. in 1998 as part of Pepsi's attempt to become more competitive in the U.S. clear lemon-lime soda market, one which was dominated by Coca-Cola's Sprite. Storm differed from Sprite in that its flavor was uniquely subtle and had a very slight bitterness to it, as well as having caffeine.

Although Storm was only offered in test markets, Pepsi included it in their marketing of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, and offered cans with characters in both Storm and Light storm varieties.

Pepsi already had an existing offering, lemon-lime Slice, although it, like Sprite, was caffeine-free.

Pepsi dropped Storm while it was still in the test market stage. Test markets included Denver, Indianapolis, Omaha, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Milwaukee, and Philadelphia. Lemon-lime Slice was dropped in favor of a new formula, marketed as Sierra Mist in 2000.

Storm (Theatre of Tragedy album)

Storm is the sixth studio album by the Norwegian gothic metal band Theatre of Tragedy, released in March 2006. It is the band's first album with a new lead singer Nell Sigland. The song "Storm" was released as the album's only single. The album shows something of a return to gothic metal, although its sound is much lighter and more upbeat than that of earlier albums and it still uses modern English lyrics. The band embarked on a European tour to support the release.

The cover art was designed by Thomas Ewerhard, who also made the covers for Assembly and Forever Is The World.

The song "Senseless" was originally titled "Seven", as it is written in septuple meter and is the seventh track on the album.

Storm (event processor)

Apache Storm is a distributed stream processing computation framework written predominantly in the Clojure programming language. Originally created by Nathan Marz and team at BackType, the project was open sourced after being acquired by Twitter. It uses custom created "spouts" and "bolts" to define information sources and manipulations to allow batch, distributed processing of streaming data. The initial release was on 17 September 2011.

A Storm application is designed as a "topology" in the shape of a directed acyclic graph (DAG) with spouts and bolts acting as the graph vertices. Edges on the graph are named streams and direct data from one node to another. Together, the topology acts as a data transformation pipeline. At a superficial level the general topology structure is similar to a MapReduce job, with the main difference being that data is processed in real time as opposed to in individual batches. Additionally, Storm topologies run indefinitely until killed, while a MapReduce job DAG must eventually end.

Storm became an Apache Top-Level Project in September 2014 and was previously in incubation since September 2013.
