Why is it that when holding a hose horizontally and water flows from the end of the hose then twisting the nozzle of the hose to partially closed causes the water to shoot farther from the end?

Closing a hose nozzle makes the opening smaller. The same amount of water tries to flow though a smaller area. It is like a bunch of people trying to go through a door at the same time. The only way they all can get through in the same time is if they all line up and walk faster. That smaller opening causes an increase in the speed of the water (higher velocity). Because the water is moving faster, it travels farther before the natural force of gravity causes it to fall to the ground.

Do's and don'ts in holding a microscope?
believe it or not microscopes aren't that hard to use. there's a nob that you use to get in focus. the farther away you are from the specimen the bigger it will look. the point of a microscope is that your lens (the glass thing at the bottom) as far away as possible with out making it blurry. depending on what microscope your using there will be a mirror or a light. If your using a mirror you try to tilt it so it will get as much light as possible. if you are using one with lights try different combinations in till you get the best view.

Yes, in my experience it does at least partially because holding it in lets your bloodstream absorb more of the THC at a time. But you should balance how long you hold it in with how much of what you have yet to smoke continues to burn away.
