![]() Jun 21, 2017. The summer solstice is upon us: June 20th and the 21st will be the longest days of 2017 for anyone living north of the equator. If pagan rituals are your thing, this is probably a big moment for you. If not, the solstice is still pretty neat. Technically speaking, the summer solstice occurs when the sun is directly. It's that beautiful time of year again in the Northern Hemisphere, when the June solstice - your signal to celebrate summer - is nearly upon us. The summer solstice is upon us: June 20th and the 21st will be the longest days of 2017 for anyone living north of the equator. If pagan rituals are your thing, this is. If not, the solstice is still pretty neat. Technically speaking, the summer solstice occurs when the sun is directly overhead the Tropic of Cancer, or 23.5° north latitude. In 2017, this will occur at exactly 12:24 am (Eastern) on the 21st. (But we can celebrate on either day.) Below is a short scientific guide to the longest day of the year (though not, as we’ll see, the longest day in Earth’s history — that happened back in 1912). 1) Why do we have a summer solstice, anyway? ![]() Okay, most people know this one. Earth orbits around the sun on a tilted axis (probably with some other massive object billions of years ago, back when it was still being formed). So between March and September, Earth’s Northern Hemisphere gets more exposure to direct sunlight over the course of a day. The rest of the year, the Southern Hemisphere gets more. It’s the reason for the seasons: () In the Northern Hemisphere, 'peak' sunlight usually occurs on June 20, 21, or 22 of any given year. That’s the summer solstice. By contrast, the Southern Hemisphere reaches peak sunlight on December 21, 22, or 23 and the north hits peak darkness — that’s our winter solstice. () 2) How many hours of sunlight will I get on Tuesday? That depends on where you live. The further north you are, the more sunlight you’ll see during the solstice. Alaska-based climatologist created: On the off chance you live near the Arctic Circle, the sun never really sets during the solstice. (By contrast, during the winter solstice, Fairbanks only gets about three hours of sunlight.) Here’s another cool way to visualize the extreme of the summer solstice. In 2013, a resident of Alberta, Canada — several hundred miles south of Fairbanks, but still in a high latitude — took this photograph of the sun’s path throughout the year, and shared it with the astronomy. You can see the dramatic change in the arc of the sun from December to June. (You can easily make a similar image at home. All you need is a can, photo paper, some tape, and a pin..). This is a 6 month pinhole photo taken from solstice to solstice, in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. We are one of the sunniest cities in Canada, and this shows it nicely.Posted by on Note that the solstice also gives us the longest twilight of the year, usually about after sunset. (Brettschneider has more charts on that; his is worth your time.) Side note: This year, coincides with the solstice. (Ramadan’s dates vary each year, but in 2017 it runs from May 26 to June 24.) Which makes for a grueling challenge in some places: Muslims are supposed to fast until sunset during Ramadan, but for those living in Norway, Sweden, or Iceland, daylight can last up to 20 hours. 'In these cases,' Vox's Jennifer Williams, 'Muslim religious authorities have decreed that Muslims can either fast along with the closest Muslim country or fast along with Mecca, Saudi Arabia.' 3) Is the solstice the latest sunset of the year? Not necessarily. Just because June 20 is the longest day of the year for the Northern Hemisphere doesn’t mean every location has its earliest sunrise or latest sunset on that day. If you live in Washington, DC, you missed the earliest sunrise — it happened back on June 13. But you can still catch the latest sunset on June 27. If you like, that’s arguably the most exciting day of the summer. 4) What does all this have to do with Stonehenge? No one really knows why was built some 5,000 years ago (at least I don’t, sorry).

There are many attractions to being a billionaire. You could open a private zoo, commission statues depicting yourself as various historical figures striking heroic poses, or—if you want to go full Blofeld—hollow out your private island to hide a moon-melting death ray. Alternatively, you could forget such fripperies and just buy. You don’t need to be an actual billionaire to afford one, but you do need to be somewhere toward the top of the 1 percent. Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös says that owners will almost exclusively be ultra-high-net-worth individuals, those with more than $30 million in cash and liquid assets. While the standard Phantom won’t be priced significantly above the outgoing version—figure around $450,000—it will be possible to more than double that through the sort of personalization that Rolls encourages its buyers to indulge in, such as installing commissioned art in the dashboard or color-matching the exterior to the exact shade of the sunset behind your beach house in the Maldives. This is a car for people who don’t care what it costs. The Architecture of Luxury The first Rolls-Royce Phantom was produced as long ago as 1925, and the company claims that the nameplate is the longest-serving in the automotive industry. While that’s true, there have been long gaps between some of the earlier generations. Regardless, (we’re asked to refer to it as Phantom VIII in the style of a monarch or a Star Wars sequel) directly replaces the 2003-era Phantom VII, which was the first Rolls-Royce developed under BMW ownership. The Phantom VIII is the first car to sit on Rolls-Royce’s new aluminum spaceframe platform, officially known as the Architecture of Luxury, which will underpin all future models including. The exterior design has undergone a less revolutionary transformation when compared with the outgoing model, gaining more curves and a radiator grille that integrates into the front of the car better than the last Phantom’s freestanding chrome Parthenon. But despite some modest reduction in exterior dimensions, the Phantom VIII has lost none of the VII’s ability to shock and awe, especially in some of the snazzy two-tone paint finishes that Rolls-Royce chose for the cars used for the media launch in Switzerland. Courtesy Extended As you’d expect, our Phantom experience began in the back seat of an extended-wheelbase model. While Müller-Ötvös says that eight out of 10 Phantom owners will drive themselves at least occasionally, and that U.S. Buyers are the most likely to take the wheel, the extended-wheelbase (EWB) model—8.6 inches longer than the regular car—probably will be piloted by a chauffeur. And not a robotic one, either. Ingress is still made through a rear-hinged “coach door” in Rolls-speak—the unpleasant connotations of the more usual “suicide” reference thus being deftly avoided—and the rear cabin is every bit as special as you’d expect. The carpet pile is ankle deep, the adjustable seats offer a variety of massages, and there’s a refrigerator mounted in the center console complete with a clip-in decanter. Sadly, the last item proved empty during our ride. The interior feels very traditional, with a predictable abundance of wood and leather and old-fashioned rotary heating controls rather than digital displays: red for hotter, blue for colder. But there’s plenty of well-disguised 21st-century tech, too—apparently one of the key demands from buyers of the old car. ![]() ![]() Wednesday, July 26, 2017 4H Fair Entry Day9:00 AM 4-H Small Animal Show1:30 PM Rodeo Museum on the Midway3:00-11:00 PM Kids Tractor Pull, Registration5:00 PM, Pull 5:30 PM Commercial, Ag Exhibits, & Vendors open on the Midway Beer Garden open to public, Bull Pen and West Side Beer Garden 6:30 PM-1:00 AM Nebraska’s Big Rodeo, Rodeo Performance 7:30 p.m. KIDS NIGHT–11 & under free *Queen Coronation Teen Dance at dance pavilion on the rodeo grounds, Music by “Finch on the Run”10:00 PM to 12:00 AM.

CREDIT: Courtesy of Showtime It’s official: “” will end after its fifth season on, Variety has learned. Production on the fifth and final season begins next week in London with the first table read happening tomorrow in the U.K. Season 5 is slated for a 2017 debut and will consist of seven. The critically acclaimed and award-winning comedy, which paints a behind-the-scenes picture on the entertainment industry, stars “Friends” alum. ’s confirmation of the final season comes after long-running speculation that the series would end, with LeBlanc tweeting late last year that he has to shoot. Fueling the fire of the show’s imminent ending, Showtime’s president of programming Gary Levine told reporters that there is a “real possibility” the show would end after Season 5 this past January at the Television Critics Association winter press tour. “‘Episodes”‘ scathing portrait of network executives has kept me on my best behavior these last several years, for which I am grudgingly grateful to Jeffrey and David,” said Levine. “I love this show and can’t wait to see what comic heights Matt and company will scale during the fifth and final season of our inspired series.” Related Co-creators David Crane and Jeffrey Klarik commented: “We have had the best time making this show. Showtime has been the opposite of every network we write about. If it were up to them we could go on making ‘Episodes’ forever. But we’ve told the story we set out to tell and we’d never want to outstay our welcome.” In Season 5, LeBlanc is the host of “The Box,” a wildly successful game show. Unfortunately, the world seems to have forgotten he was ever an actor. Meanwhile, Sean (Stephen Mangan) and Beverly (Tamsin Greig) are forced to work for Sean’s former partner Tim (Bruce Mackinnon), perhaps the worst showrunner in the history of television. Carol (Kathleen Rose Perkins) is out of a job, out of money and possibly out of show business. And Merc (John Pankow), a producer on “The Box,” never resists the opportunity to ruin Matt’s life. Klarik will direct all seven episodes. “Episodes,” which premiered in 2011, has received 10 Emmy nominations including outstanding lead actor in a comedy for LeBlanc and outstanding writing for Crane and Klarik for every single season the series has been eligible. The industry-insider comedy has also been nominated twice for best series at the Golden Globes with LeBlanc winning the best actor Globe for the first season. Crane and Klarik exec produce “Episodes” with Jimmy Mulville of Hat Trick prods. For LeBlanc, the long-rumored ending of “Episodes” comes as the “Friends” fan-favorite is eyeing his return to broadcast comedy — CBS greenlit a with a hefty series commitment, meaning it will likely be ordered for the 2016-17 television season. ⬇️?| TRACKLIST| ? ⬇️ 01 Chris Tomlin - Home 02 Micah Tyler - Never Been a Moment 03 Tauren Wells - Hills and Valleys 04 Tenth Avenue North - I Have This Hope 05 Casting Crowns - Oh My Soul 06 Crowder - Forgiven 07 NEEDTOBREATHE - 'TESTIFY' 08 MercyMe - Even If 09 Lecrae - Blessings ft.
