The Polar Vortex Over the past few years the United States has endured some abnormally chilling temperatures. Especially in the northern states, there have been record breaking low temperatures. Temperatures dropped so low that there were videos going viral of people throwing hot water into the air that immediately turned to snow as soon as it hit the cold air. People could also blow bubbles outside and they would instantly turn to balls of ice. There were hundreds of people left with power and
potential to demolish towns, and can take lives. A tornado is a type of vortex. A vortex is essentially a rotating funnel that occurs from downdrafts that pull a medium, such as air or water, downward. Tornadoes are vortexes, and vortexes happen in day to day life, even if you don’t live in Tornado Alley. An everyday example of a vortex is when you pull the drain of a bathtub or sink and a rotating whirlpool occurs. This is a vortex. Tornadoes occur under this same principle, but with air in thunderstorms
A Heated Debate On The Polar Vortex Since the beginning of 2014, meteorologists have been using a new vocabulary word to describe the phenomenon of extreme cold temperatures North America has been experiencing, named the “Polar Vortex”. It is called a vortex because of the strong winds that are present in the upper atmospheres in the polar regions of the earth. When the vortices at the poles become weaker, they start to move towards the equator, unleashing arctic storms at latitudes that are typically
Vortex filaments are one-dimensional regions of concentrated vorticity in an ideal fluid. These are important models of localised vortex structures that often emerge as distinctive features in a variety of physical phenomena. Vortex filaments can be used to describe various physical phenomena, such as the flow of superfluids, and to model filamentary structures that arise in geological and climatological systems and magnetohydrodynamics\footnote{\eg tornado's and slender plasma-filled tubes in the
of water followed a three dimensional vortex pattern – a pattern that occurs at every stage of the hydrologic cycle. The dynamic toroidal vortex has been discovered to be the foundational basis for all life. Examples of the torus shape in nature range from the electromagnetic fields generated by the human heart, to the basic shape of a tree, to the geometric structure of the universe. The vortex is the mainstay of implosion technology and the toroidal vortex in particular is considered to be the
and grief leading to the year of magical thinking where all irrational thoughts made sense. Joan Didion portrays grief as a psychological illness through her magical thinking of delusional desires to control and change fate, her constantly haunting vortex effects to overcome the tragedies, and her literary allusions and intertextuality to cope with the grief. One of the many ways Didion portrays grief as a mental illness is the As a child, Didion had been trained in times of trouble to “read, learn
Introduction: Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare disease affecting 1-4 people per million. The median survival rate is 10-15 years, with 35% of patients diagnosed with PNH dying within five years3. PNH is characterized by thrombocytopenia, leucopenia, and thrombosis . Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria should be suspected when the patient has hemoglobinuria with a negative Coombs test, aplastic anemia, and myelodysplastic syndrome . PNH often goes undiagnosed and because of the
outcome of who will win the race. We went on this roller coaster twice and won both times. Some other roller coasters we went on are The Bat, Vortex, Fire hawk, and Delirium. The Bat is a suspended roller coaster (we went on this one once). The Vortex is a steel and metal roller coaster that is 148 feet tall. It has a lot of loops and turns. We went on the Vortex twice. Fire hawk is a roller coaster where you lay on your back and go heat first down the roller coaster (don’t worry you are secured!). It
definition: It is that which is versus (turning into) uni (one). Universe. And it is mostly space, as you know. And it is mostly outer space as you call it. Before anything, your universe is space. Space. What about before space? To understand the Vortex of Sirius and the Sirius Connection, realize that before your universe existed, before it was even conceived, there was nothing. First space had to be created. As with any dimensional creation, first comes space. We have suggested that the Goddess
reach winds as high as 300 miles per hour (483 km/h) or higher, have a path that can be as wide as two miles (3.2 km) or more, and can travel for dozens of miles on the ground before dissipating. The types of tornadoes include landspout, multiple vortex tornado, and waterspout. Landspouts are a kind of tornado not associated with the mesocyclone of a thunderstorm... ... middle of paper ... ...he tornado.

Moreover, many challengers of the bladeless turbines shed light on the fact this new invention is not entirely as new as it seems. Vortex is not the first company to use wind oscillations to generate power or energy, the idea has been around since as early as the 1980s. Solar Energy Research Institute studied the idea, and the problems that arose were not the oscillating turbines ability

The study of physics and fluid dynamics in swimming has been a field of increasing interest for study in the past few decades among swimming coaches and enthusiasts. Despite the long history of research, the understanding of how to move the human body effectively through the water is still in its infancy. Competitive swimmers and their coaches of all levels are constantly striving for ways to improve their stroke technique and overall performance. The research and performances of today's swimmers
southeast. Then the higher altitude winds from the southwest give the air in between a slow rolling motion. The air rising into a growing thunderstorm lifts the rolling air, forming vertical counter clockwise and clockwise vortices. The clockwise vortex usually dies and winds from the surface help cause the storms updraft to tilt. (Williams, p.186) T.T. Fujita, of the University of Chicago, developed a scale from 1 to 5, which is weakest to strongest. Tornadoes that have winds below 116 to 189

Best Protein Shaker Protein is best when it is sourced from whole foods, but if you’re not able to get the entire daily protein requirement from food, you can get it from protein powders. Protein powders can serve as an alternate meal or as a post-workout supplement. Protein powders are convenient and can be easily absorbed and digested when compared to whole foods. The best protein shaker should be able to suit your protein drinks. In order to maximize the potency of your protein powder, the best

The park uses the water to it's advantage on the rides too, for example on Vortex, there are parts of the ride where it looks asif you are going to land in the water, which can be very scary, causing the ride to be more thrilling which achieves the rides target to be frightening. The park is situated only 20 miles from the centre

swirling mass of wind that only scares the bejeezus out of you or leaves destruction on its wake. What is a tornado? Also known as twisters, cyclone and funnel, a tornado is a tube of air that touches both the ground and clouds and spins rapidly. For a vortex of wind to be called a tornado, it must touch the ground. How is a tornado formed? Tornado formation follows several steps and involves different factors. It starts with large thunderstorms that happens in cumulonimbus cloud. When wind direction and
