Daylight saving time begins soon: when do we change the clocks?

#Daylightsavingtime #March8 Since the winter solstice on Dec. 21, 2019, the nights have been getting shorter, and the days are longer. So, when do we change the clocks?

Daylight saving time (often erroneously said as daylight savings time) begins Sunday, March 8, 2020.

That Sunday, the clocks will spring forward, causing areas that practice daylight saving time to lose an hour (don't worry, the hour is gained back in the fall).

When the clock strikes 2 a.m., the time will change to be 3 a.m.

Most of the United States practices daylight saving time, much to the disdain of lawmakers including Lancaster County Sen. Scott Martin (R-Martic Township).

Arizona is the only state that refrains from practicing daylight saving due to the summertime heat.

The residents of Arizona prefer their cooler nights as a break from the harsh temperatures, according to the National Geographic.

The amount of sunlight will get progressively longer until the summer solstice, which is June 21, 2020.

A Brief History of Skittles - Taste the rainbow

#Candy #Skittles #TastetheRainbow The candy that we are so familiar with today first came into existence in 1974. Skittles spent the first five years of their lives solely in Britain since it wasn’t until 1979 that North America got a chance to taste the rainbow. There is much speculation surrounding the creator of Skittles, as nobody really knows exactly who first made them. One story suggests that a British man named Mr. Skittles looked at a rainbow one day and wondered how it would taste. Other sources state that the Wrigley Company, founded in 1891, created candy and other confectionery, including Extra chewing gum. However, although Wrigley produces Skittles today, it is widely accepted that an unknown British company was the original manufacturer. After three years of being imported to North America from the UK, Skittles started being manufactured in the US and Britain. There were very few flavors compared to the varieties available today. Consumers enjoyed gra...

Celebrate Christmas with the Top 15 greatest films

#ItsaWonderfulLife #Elf #AChristmasStory #xmas A great Christmas movie will not only make the grade for the test of time, but it can become a beloved part of a person’s life. Ask 15 people which is their favorite holiday film, and you may get 15 different titles. Our photo gallery focuses on the 15 titles we believe are the best of all time. Scroll through the gallery, read our descriptions, and debate with us the order, ranked best to worst, and which ones you think are missing. Our list is led off by the Frank Capra classic “It’s a Wonderful Life” starring James Stewart, a film that was deemed a box office bomb when it was first released. It was the relentless airings on television over the past few decades that made it a favorite for many families. Stewart is also featured in the lesser-known but still wonderful “The Shop Around the Corner.” While that movie is uplifting, other funnier flicks that made our cut are “A Christmas Story,” “National Lampoon’s Christmas...
