The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is a community service and work-based job training program for older Americans. Authorized by the Older Americans Act, the program provides training for low-income, unemployed seniors. Participants also have access to employment assistance through American Job Centers. SCSEP participants gain work experience in a variety of community service activities at non-profit and public facilities, including schools, hospitals, day-care centers, and senior centers.
Lightning and Thunder. Lightning is the spark caused when electricity that has built up in a thunderhead discharges. One theory is that air in motion rubs particles of ice and rain moving downward against particles moving upward. As the particles rub together they become charged with static electricity.
What causes thunderstorms? Thunderstorms form when an air mass becomes so unstable that it overturns (convects) violently. Thunderstorms are most common in the afternoon over land, when daytime heating of the land by the sun causes the lower part of the troposphere to become unstable from higher temperatures and more water vapor in the air.
