Columbus Day
.
On the second Monday in October American people celebrate Columbus Day.
As you know, Columbus was an Italian explorer who discovered the New
World in 1492. Three hundred years later they organized a ceremony in New
York City to remember the discovery. First they called the new holiday
Discovery Day and celebrated it with parades, banquets ['bæn kwit] and
dances. Later, in 1869, the holiday got a new name - Columbus Day. Not all
Americans like the idea of celebrating Columbus Day. For a lot of Native
Americans (Indians) the discovery of America by Europeans means the
beginning of a very sad period in their history.

Lightning is a naturally occurring electrostatic discharge during which two electrically charged regions in the atmosphere or ground temporarily equalize themselves, causing the instantaneous release of as much as one gigajoule of energy. This discharge may produce a wide range of electromagnetic radiation, from very hot plasma created by the rapid movement of electrons to brilliant flashes of visible light in the form of black-body radiation. Lightning causes thunder, a sound from the shock wave which develops as gases in the vicinity of the discharge experience a sudden increase in pressure.
