5. In meteorology, a widespread change in atmospheric pressure that is in addition to cyclonic and normal diurnal changes; A storm surge was predicted on the news in the morning.
6. With electricity, a sudden rush or burst of current or voltage; a violent oscillatory disturbance: A power surge at the city's generator produced a sudden blackout in the whole area.
7. An uneven flow and strong momentum given to a fluid: There was a surge of water in the tank resulting in a rapid, temporary rise in pressure.
8. A sudden unplanned change in an electrical system's voltage which is capable of damaging electrical equipment: An example of such a surge would be especially an increase in voltage significantly above the designated level of 120 volts for U.S. household and office wiring, or 220 volts in Europe or in other parts of the world.
9. Etymology: from Latin surgere, "to rise"; a contraction of surrigere, "to rise" from sub-, "up from below" + regere, "to keep straight, to guide".

Electrical surges refer to sudden unplanned changes in an electrical system's voltage that is capable of damaging electrical equipment, especially an increase in voltage significantly above the designated level of 120 volts or 220 volts.

The maximum power, usually 3-5 times the rated power: A surge capacity can be provided to an electrical system over a short time without damage to the system.

A component that responds to the rate of change of an electrical current or voltage: A surge suppressor prevents damage from a sudden fluctuation in electrical power, especially a large increase above a predetermined value.

A surge suppressor is often used to protect computer systems and other electronic equipment.

The regulation and control of temperature, specifically internal body temperature: Thermoregulation is the control of heat production and heat loss and specifically the maintenance of body temperature through physiological mechanisms activated by the hypothalamus (a neural control center at the base of the brain concerned with hunger, thirst, and other autonomic functions).

Thermoregulation concerns the various physiological processes by which the body regulates its internal temperature.

Thermoregulation is the process by which an organism regulates its internal body temperature which takes place by means of various physiological processes but can also involve behavior, such as moving away from a condition of extreme heat or cold.

The two most common forms are ectothermic and endothermic regulation.

An instrument to regulate the temperature; thermostat: Jane checked the thermoregulator on her radiator which automatically controlled the temperature by starting or by stopping the amount of heat.

Translated: "Where there is no direct law, the opinion of the judge is to be taken, or references to be made to similar cases."

Uncontrolled; unmanageable; rebellious: The parents, Jim and Jenny, had real problems trying to control their unruly son who behaved quite badly towards his brother.

Translation: "The banners of the king come forth" is the title of a hymn on the Passion of Christ, written by Vanantius Fortunatus, bishop of Poitiers (died about A.D. 600) and assigned to Vespers during Passiontide.

Translation: "Chance, not wisdom, governs human life."

Another interpretation: "Life is mostly a matter of luck."
