☆ Tornado facts: How they form and what to look for

Scott Cunningham/Getty Images“Sometimes, it may appear that a storm is in a perfect environment for a tornado to form, yet it never does. The updrafts and downdrafts work in tandem to pull the horizontal column of air down to form the tornado. “The most telltale sign that a tornado could be forming, when you are looking at a close-range severe thunderstorm, is the ‘wall cloud,’” says Miller. The wall cloud is a lowering of the cloud base that will lead to the vortex, or spinning of air. The presence of a wall cloud doesn’t always mean a tornado will form, but it certainly ups the odds.

Frumusețea e în suflet” – Mihaela Milea. „Frumusețea e o abstracție a lumii în care trăim”„Pentru mine, frumusețea este relativă. Și nu pot să nu zic și de frumusețea interioară, fiindcă anume ea va salva lumea: zâmbetele oamenilor, bunătatea, înțelepciunea, dragostea etc. Fiecare om e capabil să găsească frumusețea în aproape orice expresie a artei, a unui obiect sau a unei ființe. Lumea pune standarde în modă, în oameni și, mai nou, pe media de socializare, unde se cuvine să ai o viață frumoasă.

“What a joyous occasion!” Bill Cunningham said last year of the Fifth Avenue Easter parade, calling it “a carnival celebration of spring.” He explained to us that the parade, which gained popularity in the 1880s, started as an after-church fashion procession by the residents of Fifth Avenue. It evolved into an occasion for people to dress up in even more whimsical costumes with “centuries of style represented,” he said. He started photographing the parade in the 1950s and continued until 2016, two months before he died. His pictures capture the humor, oddities and imaginativeness of the event, where fanciful hats, brightly colored clothes and enthusiasts of all things vintage are found on every block. Here are some of his photos, unpublished until now, from the past six years.
