When you look through your windshield or at wet roads during bad weather, the light can scatter in many directions, creating glare and making it hard to see.

This is because light waves naturally move in all directions, but when they hit something like water or glass, they can start moving in one direction. This creates glare, which makes things look fuzzy and bright.

Polarized lenses in cameras can help reduce this glare. These lenses are designed to only let in light moving in one direction, which cuts down on the scattered light and makes the image clearer.

This is why your phone's camera can often see the road better than you can during rain or fog - it filters out the visual noise and highlights the important details.

But, apart from these things it is best to stop the car to the side with parking lights on and wait for the storm to clear.

WARNING Contains strong language - News & Awareness education |
Sacramento, California.— Man caught stealing a catalytic converter from parked car
Instagram@smithbrosclassics

Thieves are targeting these devices, which are located under vehicles, because they contain precious metals that are valuable to scrap metal dealers — and because they’re easily accessible and lack identifying markings.

Specifically, there are three types of metals that help the catalytic converter remove toxins from vehicles’ emissions: platinum, palladium and rhodium. There’s only a tiny amount of each metal inside each converter, but a little goes a long way. The prices of these already-valuable metals have quickly increased by hundreds of dollars an ounce in recent years.

Scrap metal dealers will pay close to $100 for the typical catalytic converter. However, the metals found in some exotic and foreign car models can fetch more money, even up to $400.

A FLASH BLACK MOMENT IN HISTORY:

Mobile libraries in African American neighborhoods in the 1950s were vehicles, often buses or vans, that were equipped with books and other reading materials.

These mobile libraries were aimed at providing access to books and educational resources to communities that were otherwise isolated from libraries and other sources of information.

They were especially important in Black American neighborhoods, where segregation and poverty often made it difficult for people to visit traditional libraries.

The mobile libraries would visit various locations in the community, such as schools, community centers, and public parks, making it easier for people to borrow books and expand their knowledge.

They played a significant role in promoting literacy and education in Black American communities during the 1950s and beyond.

19th Century African American School
The beginning of the 19th century showed no interest in educating African Americans, but around 1865 when slavery was successfully abolished, educating African Americans started to make its way to the surface. The South initially forbid African Americans from going to school because they were afraid of their education becoming more important than their duties as slaves. The North had run down, no resource schools for African Americans, but they were far inferior to the white schools. Education started in the church at Sunday school, where reading was a major subject taught. Reading was necessary in order for the children to be able to read the bible, which in turn made them “better Christians.” The first African American public High School was built in 1870, Paul Laurence Dunbar. Small schools were around as early as 1807 and were established in homes and churches, though they were still far inferior to the white schools, it was a major step to actually have schools built for the African Americans. The teachers were under qualified, and were required to teach in a one room schools with children of all ages.

Bernoulli's Principle is a fundamental concept in fluid dynamics that describes the relationship between the speed of a fluid and its pressure. It states that as the speed of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases, and vice versa, as long as the flow is steady and the fluid is incompressible. This principle is often used to explain various phenomena in fluid mechanics, such as lift in aerodynamics, the behavior of fluids in pipes, and the operation of carburetors and wings. In simple terms, Bernoulli's Principle illustrates how the energy within a fluid is distributed between its kinetic energy (speed) and its potential energy (pressure), providing valuable insights into the behavior of fluids in motion.
