heat burst surprise Kansas



Wichita, Kansas, residents are still recovering from a bizarre weather system thattemperatures spiked to 20 degrees in minutes in the early morning hours of Thursday.
KSN Channel 3 meteorologist JD Rudd explained the causes of soaring temperaturesat night often known as "the outbreak of the heat." First, the winds gusted up to 69 mphat about 11:00 Wednesday, when temperatures were still in the 80s. 00:22, temperatures are 85 ° in the region. Less than 20 minutes later, the temperature spikedto 102 degrees, and winds around 50 mph Suddenly continues.
By 3:00, the temperature dropped again and the wind stopped.
Heat bursts are rare, forecasters said the Wichita Eagle.
They are caused by storms "collapse" of the strong winds that hold them in place. Whenthe rain falls on a very dry air, the air begins to decline, and that the mass of airbecomes warmer falls. When the air hits the ground, it spreads rapidly, causing windgusts.
"... You have to have perfect conditions to get these things," National Weather Servicemeteorologist Chance Hayes told the newspaper.
Wichita area received almost no rainfall in May, if the conditions were certainly dry enough for a burst of heat occurs.

Da Vinci Mona Lisa Mystery; Real Secret Codes Discovered

Leonardo Da Vinci’smysteriousMona Lisa has just gotten even more intriguing. The Italian genius apparently painted tiny numbers and letters into the eyes of the enigmatic painting, but their meaning is unclear.
The 500-year-old Renaissance masterpiece has long puzzled art historians, from Mona Lisa’s wry smile to the identity of the woman in the painting. Some believe it is Da Vinci himself, painted as a woman.
As for Da Vinci, he was a fan of riddles and secret codes and his paintings formed the basis of the best selling fictional work “The Da Vinci Code.”
[ad#Google350x250]
The book by Dan Brown and the 2006 movie based on it starring Tom Hanks claimed the Mona Lisa contained secrets about the life of Jesus Christ.
The book postulated that Christ had a child with Mary Magadelene and established a blood line that exists to this day.
The real codes in Mona Lisa’s eyes may not be quite so consequential, but they are mystifying, nonetheless, not only for what they may mean, but also because of that fact that Da Vinci was able paint them so small.
The letters and numbers cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Italy’s National Committee for Cultural Heritage said the symbols were detected through high resolution images of the painting.
“To the naked eye the symbols are not visible, but with a magnifying glass they can clearly be seen,” said Committee President Silvano Vinceti.
“In the right eye appear to be the letters LV which could well stand for his name Leonardo Da Vinci, while in the left eye there are also symbols, but they are not as defined,” he said.
“It is very difficult to make them out clearly but they appear to be the letters CE or it could be the letter B. You have to remember the picture is almost 500 years old so it is not as sharp and clear as when first painted,” he added.
In the arch of the bridge in the background the number 72 can be seen or it could be an L and the number 2, he said.
The clue to the codes was found in a 50-year-old book about the painting that was discovered in an antique shop. It mentions the codes and symbols, Vinceti said.
“It’s remarkable that no-one has noticed these symbols before and from the preliminary investigations we have carried out we are confident they are not a mistake and were put there by the artist,” Vinceti said.

Beautiful Football Fans

When I played football, fans are definitely not like that! As I recall, they were teenagers with flags or old who cursed everything and everybody. Believe me, with fans like these, I want to run and play until I die. Maybe someone can organize the World Cup of these girls, so we can enjoy for a whole month.
