How do you capture and store the lightning?

You invent the device that does it. Although the electrical output is obviously huge when it occurs, the energy in the pulse drops down to nearly nothing in milliseconds. A lightning rod that fed into an electromagnetic field revolving inside a circular torus might allow the energy to be "trapped" inside the magnetic field and around inside there not physically touching anything, and then slowly retrieved. Good luck.

How can you open a suit case that you have forgotten your number lock for it?

Hi I have just reset the combination (3 thumbwheels, 0-9 on each thumbwheel) on a pair of CARLTON SUITCASEs. These are the hard shell type with 2 wheels, 2 cam-action side hook/clasps and 1 cam-action top combination hook/clasp with folding handle.

TOOLS- 1 bright light(I used a pencil LED torch), 1 thumb (preferably still attached).

METHOD- have the case facing you, so you can read the CARLTON on the lock, shine the light on the righthand side of a thumbwheel, if you look closely in the half millimetre gap, you can reflect light from metal below. if you push the thumbwheel round 1 full turn, you will have noticed a slot which didn't reflect. Align all 3 slots, and read the pattern. Because this isn't the combination, but the barrels are in the right order, so keep them in this pattern, then rotate all 3 thumbwheels at once. When the slot aligns with the internal mechanism, the button will retract and the case will open. This procedure takes about 30/45 seconds. Once the case is opened you can reset the combination in 10 seconds. On the underside of the combination unit is a metal tab, slide tab to the right, reset the combination, write it down in a safe place, slide metal tab back to the left, finished. I hope these instructions are useful, and i hope your not an airport baggage handler...

How did pesticide DDT threaten the population of the brown pelican?

DDT, a pesticide widely used in the mid-20th century, threatened the brown pelican population by causing eggshell thinning, which led to decreased hatching success. The chemical accumulated in the pelicans' bodies through the food chain, affecting their reproductive health. As a result, many eggs would crack or break before hatching, leading to a significant decline in their population. The use of DDT was eventually banned in the U.S. in 1972, helping the brown pelican population to recover over time.
