“The Midnight Sun”

Always ahead of the times, Rod Serling was thinking about climate change back in 1961 when he penned this episode, which features an Earth thrown out of orbit and inching ever closer to the sun. Serling gives us an uncomfortable taste of what this apocalypse might be like, from the physical heat to the mental breakdown of society.

no idea for #37 yet.... will think on that one.
Burger King was the first. I tried it when it came out since I have an allergy to beef, gives me migraines (yes it sucks LOL)
Haagen-Dazs has no meaning so the answer would be D) nothing
Funny though, when I was in Highschool, I worked at a local party store cooking pizza. One of the ice cream coolers had a Haagen-Dazs sticker with a typo that had a "z" instead of the "g" and I always joked that my name only had one "a' in it. ;-) Was called Haazen Dazs for a while. LOL

Yep . Old Samuel Adams
As a young man, Samuel Adams failed in several business ventures, including as a tax collector and as a brewer. However, he was instrumental in rallying support for independence and it’s believed that he was a primary organizer of the Boston Tea Party. He later inspired brewer Jim Koch, who named his company’s signature lager after the patriot.

If you count the minute hand lining up with the hour hand for every minute . That happens 1440 times a day .
If you just count the hours . Then 24 times a day .

I am not going to be posting any color inquiry puzzles . Unless I am seriously asking you what color it is . I have a high degree of colorblindness . .
It used to be higher . I could always see shades of color . But could not distinguish the different shades . yellows and oranges , oranges and reds , reds and browns and greens , browns and greens and greys and blues , blues and purples , etc .
As always I went by familiarity . Stop signs and fire trucks are red . And Santa . Just knowing that is enough to get by . No one is going to ask you what color that stop sign is . If they did and I didn't know it was supposed to be red . I would probably say brown .
I think that familiarity goes hand in hand with exercising my eyes and forcing them to look closer . What I mean is , when I built my website . You may have noticed it is quite colorful .
On the scrolling announcement :
May the SUN always be with you
I wanted to match those colors to the description . It was much harder than you could imagine .
Welcome to Valley of the SUN Casual Club . Your link to WGT online Golf . This is our open forum . Free for anyone to use . Enjoy the many features it has to offer . Free to look . Free to register
It took me a day I think . I kept asking my wife if I was close yet . After many " NO's " and then a few " Closer's ". She finally said " Close enough ".
So I think that exercise helped me a little . Like maybe a 20 % improvement in my color abilities .
But not really enough to distinguish more than a few . If I told you something was purple . And you said " No it's blue " . Then I would have to believe you .

Next week sees the start of golf's British Open.
For this puzzle, we have added a cryptic 19th hole on the golf course that rewards extraordinary scores with the prize of an actual flag. On the 19th hole, if you score 2 under par, you are given a flag of Albania. If you score 3 under par, you are given a flag of the remote island Tristan da Cunha. If you score an incredibly unlikely 4 under par, you are given a flag of Ecuador. Explain a possible logic to this?

25,122 PostsWho's the Greatest 'Jeopardy!' Contestant of All Time?
A game show that gives away the answers doesn't sound like a hit in the making. Merv Griffin was on to something, however, as "Jeopardy!" would become appointment viewing for millions of households long after the show premiered in 1964. The current version debuted in 1984, which is when Alex Trebek took over hosting the long-running game show, and though the beloved emcee announced he'd been diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer last year, his duties have continued unabated. That includes the just-concluded "Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time" tournament, which pits the show's three highest-earning contestants — Ken Jennings, Brad Rutter, and James Holzhauer — against each other for the first time in an effort to determine, once and for all, who is the greatest "Jeopardy!" contestant ever.
The first to win three games (not necessarily in a row) was named the greatest of all time. As of this last night, Jennings did just that: he won three, while Holzhauer won one and Rutter never picked up a victory. All three were chosen for good reason, of course; as the tournament — and, though it hurts to say it, perhaps an entire era of "Jeopardy!" itself — comes to a close, here's a look back at the show's most impressive records.Consecutive games won: Ken Jennings
Jennings won 74 consecutive matches in 2004, setting a record that no one has come close to — Holzhauer is in a distant second with 32. Jennings won $2,522,700 over the course of that run, and his total earnings, including tournaments, is $3,522,700. He also holds the record for most correct responses per game at 33.1.All-time winnings: Brad Rutter
If you include tournaments, Rutter edges out Jennings in this category by a considerable sum: his $4,688,436 in winnings is enough to make him the highest-earning competitor in the history of game shows. That includes his original five-day streak in 2000 and numerous matches in five subsequent tournaments; until "The Greatest of All Time," in fact, he had never lost to a human opponent. Watson, the IBM computer designed specifically for the show, beat Rutter and Jennings in 2011.Single-game winnings: James Holzhauer
Holzhauer doesn't just hold the top spot in this category — he holds the top 16. He won $131,127 in a single episode last year, $130,022 in another, $118,816 in yet another, and so on and so forth. He's third in all-time winnings after Rutter and Jennings, with a total of $2,712,216, and second in consecutive matches won with 32.
These accolades — all of which can be found in the "Jeopardy!" Hall of Fame — make it difficult to argue that anyone else should be competing for the title of Greatest of All Time. Regardless of who emerges victorious, all of them have made a legacy for themselves on the show that's only surpassed by that of Trebek.

7 Surprising Facts About the Summer Olympics
07 | 09 | 2021
The Summer Olympics have been a staple in the sports world for decades. From high flying gymnasts to first-rate swimmers, these world-class athletes capture the hearts of audiences around the world as they compete for gold. Celebration, connection, and inspiration might be the biggest takeaways from this global event. The Summer Games have seen many changes over the years, and while you might think you know the Games, there could be a few things that surprise you.The Olympics Began More Than 100 Years Ago
The first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens, Greece in April 1896, and was much smaller than the spectacle put on today. An estimated 280 athletes, all male, from 12 countries attended these Games, competing in 43 events including swimming, wrestling, and tennis. Members of the royal family of Greece helped organize the event, which saw 60,000 spectators during the 10 days of festivities.The Olympic Rings Symbolize Every Competing Country
The five linking Olympic Rings represent the union between the five inhabited continents and their athletes. The colors of the rings — blue, yellow, black, green, red, and white (the background) — are symbolic, too. Every nation’s flag contains at least one of these six colors. Pierre de Coubertin, a founding member of the International Olympic Committee, was the mastermind behind the rings, which made their debut in 1913.
Ice Sports Were Originally Part of the Summer Games
That’s right, figure skating and ice hockey were included in the Summer Games. Men’s, women’s, and pairs’ figure skating were all part of the 1908 and 1920 Summer Olympics, and ice hockey made its Olympic debut at the 1920 Antwerp Games. These seasonally perplexing sports were played during the Summer Games just once; they found a more appropriate home at the first Winter Games in Chamonix in 1924.
A Few Summer Sports Got the Boot
There are some Summer Olympic sports that appeared in early Games but for safety or other reasons, they were axed from the competition. The tug-of-war, for example, was featured in the Summer Games from 1900 to 1920 before it was retired. Other interesting sports that were removed include roller hockey, hot air ballooning, powerboat racing, and glima, a form of Icelandic wrestling. Thankfully, the dueling pistols event only lasted for one year, at the 1906 Athens Games, before it was discontinued.
The 2021 Summer Games Will Feature Four New Sports
The Tokyo Games will see four sports make their Olympic debut when karate, skateboarding, sport climbing, and surfing join the ranks. These won’t be the only fresh faces at the Games. Baseball and softball were previously cut from the Summer Olympics but are being welcomed back for the 2021 competition. Several new events within existing sports will also make their debut, including 3-on-3 basketball and mixed-gender relays in track and field and swimming.Great Britain Has Won Gold at Every Summer Olympics
Great Britain has a longstanding relationship with the Olympics. Impressively, it is the only country to have won at least one gold medal at every Summer Olympics since 1896. It is also one of only five countries that have been represented at every single Summer Games; the other four countries to achieve that milestone are Greece, France, Switzerland, and Australia. Team Great Britain represents all of the United Kingdom, including the Crown dependencies, and most of the British overseas territories.Artists Were Once Participants in the Summer Games
Decades ago, the Olympics weren’t just for sports. Artists were also invited to participate in the Games. From 1912 to 1952, painting, sculpting, architecture, writing, and music were part of the competition. Unfortunately, the 151 medals that were previously awarded for Fine Arts have been stricken from Olympic record and are not included in countries’ current medal counts.

Lol . That is another right answer . Or the media .
But I was looking for :
Do you remember Nelson Mandela dying in prison? How about Jiffy peanut butter? What about the beloved children’s book series The Berenstein Bears? If you have vivid, specific memories of any of the above, you’re suffering from the Mandela Effect — when multiple people remember facts or experiences that don’t match reality. (For the record, Mandela died free and surrounded by family in 2013; the peanut butter was and is called Jif; and it’s The BerenSTAIN Bears, not Berenstein.) The paranormal author and researcher Fiona Broome has been collecting memories that don’t match reality on her website, MandelaEffect.com, since 2009. The site started after she and other attendees at a convention began chatting about memories that differ from real events, and specifically Broome’s recollection of Mandela dying tragically in prison. In the early days of the website, some users speculated that the discrepancies were caused by the existence of parallel universes, or “timestreams,” that people had been moving between without knowing it. The idea has since caught on across the internet, with the Berenstain Bears example particularly popular.

Things You Never Knew
Times Square is one of the most unmistakable landmarks not only in New York City, but also across the world. You’ve probably seen its massive neon billboards appear in blockbuster movies, television commercials, postcards, and — of course — during the famous New Year’s Eve ball drop. Located at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue between West 42nd and 47th Streets (and shaped more like a bowtie than a traditional city square), Times Square sits at the heart of Midtown Manhattan’s theater and entertainment district. It is one of the world’s busiest pedestrian areas. But how much do you know about this vibrant landmark? Read on for eight interesting facts about the aptly nicknamed “Crossroads of the World.”It Wasn’t Always Called Times Square
For such a conspicuous landmark, Times Square had humble beginnings. Once an area surrounded by countryside and used for farming by American Revolution-era statesman John Morin Scott, the area now known as Times Square fell into the hands of real estate mogul John Jacob Astor in the 1800s. By the second half of the 19th century, it had become the center of the city’s horse carriage industry and home to William H. Vanderbilt’s American Horse Exchange. City authorities named it Long Acre Square, which was a reference to London’s historic carriage and coach-making district. This name remained until 1904, when The New York Times moved its headquarters to a lavish new skyscraper called One Times Square. Just eight years later, the newspaper relocated again to a nearby building, but the name Times Square stuck.Its Eponymous Billboard-Clad Skyscraper is All But Empty
Decorated with dazzling neon-lit commercial billboards, One Times Square remains one of New York City’s most emblematic skyscrapers. This 363-foot-tall, 25-story structure was the tallest building in the city when built in 1904 for The New York Times, and it paved the way for the bustling commercial area around it. Yet more than a century later, despite being surrounded by some of the world’s most expensive real estate, the skyscraper is almost completely unoccupied, save for a Walgreens pharmacy situated on the ground floor. Walgreens leases all the building’s space up to the 21st floor; however, the company generates more income from billboards on the building’s exterior than it would from tenants. The only other tenant is Jeff Straus, who coordinates the square’s New Year’s Eve celebrations from a 22nd-floor office.Hundreds of Thousands of Pedestrians Cross the Square Every Day
Welcoming around 360,000 pedestrians per day as of late 2019, Times Square is one of the most visited places on the planet. Wondering how it's possible to make an accurate count of so many people? It’s done with 18 surveillance cameras attached to six buildings set around the square that monitor 35 different locations. During peak times, as many as 450,000 pedestrians traverse the square. And on several occasions, the square has witnessed estimated gatherings of over one million people (though some sources claim those figures have been inflated). Two of the largest gatherings in Times Square were on August 15, 1945, for a celebration that marked the end of World War II, and for the 1999 millennium celebration on New Year’s Eve.One of History’s Most Famous Photos Was Taken Here
If there’s one image that encapsulates the jubilous end of World War II, it’s Alfred Eisenstaedt’s V-J Day in Times Square. The photo depicts a carefree moment when a U.S. Navy sailor embraced and kissed a nurse against the backdrop of celebrations in Times Square. It was taken on August 14, 1945 — the day Japan surrendered, bringing the war to an end — and first appeared in Life magazine later that month. However, since the photograph was taken at a spontaneous moment, it wasn’t until decades later that the identity of the photograph’s subjects was determined. With the help of facial recognition technology, the man was confirmed in 2005 to be U.S. Army veteran George Mendonsa; the woman is Greta Zimmer Friedman. A similar photo of the embrace by U.S. Navy photojournalist Victor Jorgensen provided inspiration for artist Seward Johnson’s series of computer-generated statues called Unconditional Surrender, which have been displayed in various cities around the country.There Are Fascinating Works of Public Art — If You Know Where to Look
Stand at the point where Broadway meets 7th Avenue and you might hear an unusual humming sound resonating from the grate of a steam vent. The sound is intentional, part of an art installation named Max Neuhaus’s Times Square. Some say it resembles a pulsating drone, while to others it is reminiscent of the chime of church bells. Other public art works adorn Times Square, too: Stop by just before midnight and you’ll see the billboards turn into Midnight Moment, the world’s largest and longest-running digital exhibition. And of course, don’t forget to visit the lifelike statues of entertainer George M. Cohan and soldier and military chaplain Francis P. Duffy, which grace the Red Steps, part of the TKTS Booth for Times Square and a great vantage point to take in all the action.Astronauts Can See the Square from Outer Space
Thanks to the many neon signs and billboards, Times Square and the Great White Way of Broadway are easily visible from the International Space Station — one of the few places on Earth that astronauts can easily identify. And that’s by design: A bylaw stipulates all buildings on the square have a minimum amount of lighting. Due to the square’s high visibility, both in space and on Earth, companies pay hefty annual fees to advertise here — the latest figures estimate somewhere between $1.1 million and $4 million per year. For the square’s largest billboard, it can cost up to $3 million per month.The New Year’s Eve Ball Drop Has Taken Place for Over a Century
Since 1907, people from all corners of the planet have traveled to Times Square on December 31 to wait excitedly for the glistening New Year’s Eve ball to drop. The ball descends on a custom-designed flagpole at the top of One Times Square as a digital clock marks the 60-second countdown to midnight. Sign designer Artkraft Strauss created the first ball out of iron and wood, and it featured 100 25-watt light bulbs. Today’s Waterford Crystal Times Square New Year’s Eve Ball weighs 11,875 pounds and features 2,688 crystal triangles and 32,256 multicolored LED lights. Only two years have passed without a ball drop: 1942 and 1943, when the bright lights of Times Square were switched off during wartime.

It has been reported that a phantom golfer haunts the bunkers and fairways at St Andrews Old Course, but rather than being a wicked, malevolent spirit, it’s said to be quite helpful.
Tales have been told of a ghostly figure that helps local golfers locate and retrieve their stray balls from the rough.
The ghost is understood to be a manifestation of 19th century golfer ‘Young’ Tom Morris, who from the age of just 17 won the Open Championship an incredible four times in a row.
Young Tom Morris suffered a tragic end. In 1875, he was returning home from a golfing trip to discover his wife and baby had died in labour. Devastated, the golfing legend was found dead just four months later having suffered a heart attack. He was just 24 years old..

Patrick Hamilton, the ghost of St Andrews University
Patrick Hamilton was a 16th century student and teacher at St Andrews University whose spirit, it is claimed, still maintains power over the institution to this day.
As a protestant reformer, Hamilton was charged with heresy and endured a particularly excruciating death. His sentence was carried out on a cold winter’s day in February 1528.
He was burned at the stake outside the front entrance to St Salvator’s Chapel - but it wasn’t as quick as the accused would have hoped.
The 21-year-old burned from noon till 6pm as his executioners struggled to get the fires going.
At one point, gunpowder was placed under Hamilton’s arms, causing severe injury to his hands and face, but still the flames refused to rise.
Hamilton’s final words before he perished were “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit”. He is regarded as Scotland’s first martyr of the reformation.
A scorched likeness of his face is said to have been burned into the stone of the tower he was facing while being burned alive. Visitors are told to look up at his ghostly image..
Patrick Hamilton’s initials mark the spot where he was executed. Students at the university are warned not to step on the monogram for fear that curse will be placed on them and they will fail their exams. Students must partake in the annual May dip, which involves running into the North Sea at 5am, in order to wash away the bad omens. Another way is to strip naked and run - backwards - three times around St Salvator’s quad between classes.
Some students say they have experienced the sound of crackling and the smell of burning flesh near Hamilton’s execution site.

The Veiled Nun of St Leonards
One of St Andrews’ most famous ghost stories is that of the Veiled Nun of St Leonards. Visitors down the short stretch towards St Leonards Kirk known as Nuns Walk have been known to encounter a horribly disfigured phantom.
The story goes that a local girl was so heartbroken after her lover’s death that she decided to mutilate herself so that no man would be attracted to her ever again. The girl sliced off her ears, split her nostrils, branded her cheeks and cut off her eyelids and lips. She later joined a nunnery, but would die from her self-inflicted injuries.
Today she lurks up and down Nuns Walk where she has been known to lift her veil at passersby unlucky enough to cross her path..

Like Young Tom Morris, many of St Andrews’ ghosts are actually quite kind. One who falls into this category is the St Rule’s Monk who appears from time to time on its ancient stairs. The monk is said to allow visitors safe passage up the stairs, ensuring they make it to the summit of the tower without mishap..
In the 1950s it was reported that one visitor to the tower was offered assistance on the stairs by a ‘kindly monk’ who was blocking his path. When he refused, the man reported he felt nothing as he ‘squeezed’ past the monk on the tight stairs.
Not all the spirits to be found within St Rule’s are quite so friendly, however...

The White Lady
The White Lady has been sighted on numerous occasions over the past 200 years. Dressed all in white, she is said to inhabit the precinct around the ancient cathedral and can often be seen waving a handkerchief from a window at St Rule’s Tower - the ‘Chamber of Corpses’ as it was known to the Victorians. She is said to detest visitors to her ‘lair’.
Back in 1868, stonemasons, undertaking work within the tower, discovered a series of coffins within a ‘hidden’ sealed chamber. One of the caskets was without a lid and contained the well-preserved remains of a woman wearing a white dress and white leather gloves.

Cars Running Headlights All Day Get Huge Reward
The Two Truths Every Modern Car Owner Must Know
Closely inspect your insurance bill before you pay it.
Two shocking studies prove that insured drivers have significantly overpaid. This is the trick your auto insurer does not want you to know.
After much research and feedback, here is a list of the potential discounts. Following these steps may save the average driver hundreds. In fact, a survey of 1,000 zipcodes found that the average driver may save $859.00 a year by finding the right insurer. What you're about to see has been used by many drivers in June to look for extreme insurance discounts.
First, there's a little known rule to getting a safe car discount. If your car has anti-lock brakes, day-time running lights, or air bags – you qualify for a discount. If you qualify for 2 or 3 of these discounts, the savings are extremely high.
Next, to max out your savings, this brings us to driving record discounts. There are a few insurers that will give a discount for no traffic tickets within 3 years. Secondly, having no car accidents in the last 3 years shows to an insurer that you're skilled at avoiding accidents and your care while driving.
Additionally, where you park your car matters. If you live in a qualified postal code or neighborhood without a lot of thefts, you may save even more.
Here's another big finding that's unknown to many drivers. Consumer Fed has warned that 45% of major insurers unfairly hike up loyal customers’ rates just to maximize profits – insurers call it “price optimization.” This means your insurer will keep barely increasing your rate so it's statistically unlikely that you'll leave – this way your insurer makes a higher profit. The rule to fight back is simple. To get the biggest savings, compare discounted rates from a vast network of insurers (that are licensed in your area).

At around age 23, the average person falls off what the researcher Jennifer Aaker calls ‘the humour cliff’: we start to laugh and smile less and less. The average 4-year-old laughs and smiles 300 times a day, the average 40-year-old — 300 times every 75 days..
Life gets increasingly miserable .
I'd also laugh more if all my worries were to eat and to play and to nap..
