an opposite charge to the other conductor, resulting in an electric field between them that acts as an electrical energy reserve. Thunderstorms are most likely behaving like capacitors: the clouds are one plate, the ground another, and the atmosphere is the dielectric insulator.

Since the clouds are connected to the ionosphere, electric charges carried into the ionosphere by the solar wind cause increases in the electrical energy in the clouds, which also increases the stored charge in the ground. That accumulated charge overcomes the atmosphere’s ability to keep the two separate, so they reach out to each other in the form of “leader strokes.” When the two lightning leaders meet, a circuit between the clouds and the ground (or between one cloud and another) is completed: lightning flashes.

ClickThe Hinds County Sheriff's Department has seized two strip clubs in the Jackson area; Danny's and Black Diamond's.

Authorities have chained the doors of both establishments. This stems from a lawsuit regarding a man who was beaten by employees at Danny's in 2011.

According to court documents, the plaintiff was leaving the club, when "suddenly and without warning" the employees confronted him and struck him several times, injuring him.

The documents go on to say that the employees had "apparent authority to act on behalf of the defendants as a result of their uniform". The plaintiff states that he received significant medical bills and expenses and "has experienced great pain and suffering, mental anguish, lost wages and other damages as a result of the attack and his injuries".

In 2013, the owners
