Lightning likes to take the path of least (electrical) resistance. Air has an extremely high electrical resistance, so lightning will strike just tall objects so it doesn't have to travel as far th...
Lightening strikes from a point of excess electrons (negatively charged) to a path to a deficit of electrons (positively charged). As a rule, lightening usually strikes from the clouds to the grou...

I would say here no. Most diving bodies have moved to an online learning course, instead of books etc, however this course will be how you certify. It will certify one of you. Steps for learning t...
All useful [climbing] carabiners will have a rated weight, engraved on them, usually in kN (kilonewton). Even non-climbing ones should have a rated weight. Based on the picture, and the descript...

100% no. The best case scenario your going to get is an anal thermometer. You have to be pretty high up in management to use one of those on your self properly. Oral, infrared, or "stick on" therm...
PADI wouldn't allow you to share the material; almost certainly there's a non-sharing clause in the licence. However this is moot as the background reading material is only part of the course. T...
Dehydration is a very bad thing when diving and can lead to DCS (Decompression Sickness) as the blood thickens. One of the most important scuba devices is a Pee Valve which allows you to urinate...
According to this article on Wikipedia The earliest artificial climbing walls were typically small concrete faces with protrusions made of medium-sized rocks for hand holds. Schurman Rock in Se...
The amount of nitrogen in your body is only part of it. Nitrogen is absorbed quicker by your lipid, or fat, tissues at greater depths. The cut off point for a non-deep PADI qualified diver is 30m. ...
1) You can expect the lowest Jun-Sep temperatures will be above 0 °C most of the time. Coldest temperatures on Kredarica (2515 m, in Slovenian Alps) in 2016: Jun: -1 °C July: -2.1 °C August: -3 ...
As far as the raccoon goes, there really isn't a whole lot out of the ordinary taking place in this story. It's basically a raccoon doing raccoon things. Raccoons are inquisitive animals and very...

That looks like a mangrove snapper, (there are quite a few different names of snapper) and I am making the identification on two things, the pattern of diamond shaped spots and the top fin being wh...
Can I safelly assume, that it will not get much below 0°C in summer in the Alps at around 2000 meters altitude? I would say that very broadly this assumption will hold, but the question is what yo...
In order to do this, you need the weight of the projectile and its velocity. The way to measure the velocity is to use a modern gun chronograph, you shoot the projectile through the to screens and ...
No better than 3 MOA, probably more like 6 MOA, and they aren't very effective past 75 yards because they quickly loose velocity and start tumbling end over end. A smooth bore firearm is simpl...
