Yesterday, First Lady Casey DeSantis posted the details of this initial victory over this enemy on her Facebook page and was described as indoctrination. And the stance of Governor Ron DeSantis was clear with a recent stroke of the pen signing HB 7, into law. This is obvious by the mass exodus from the public school system to homeschooling and charter schools. Parent awareness of it has grown more than ever before.

Patriots are more AWAKE than ever and have a recurrent enemy in the crosshairs. Sunrise tends to occur a few minutes earlier each day during the winter and spring and a few minutes later each day during the summer and fall.Thank goodness Education in America is finally on everyone’s minds. In the tropics, dawn and dusk are shorter, while at polar latitudes, twilight lasts for several hours. At temperate latitudes, this corresponds to a time interval of about one hour. As soon as dawn breaks, you know the sun is no more than 18 degrees below the eastern horizon. This is even easier to calculate than sunset. With a little practice, you can estimate the time of sunset to within 15 minutes or so. Conversely, if the shadow has moved to the left of the first stone, you are facing due south. If the shadow has moved to the right of the first stone, you are facing due north. Take notice of where the stick’s shadow has moved relative to its position 15 minutes earlier. Wait for 10 or 15 minutes then repeat the above procedure.

Insert a long stick into the ground and mark the tip of its shadow with a stone or other small object. In the summer, the sun takes a correspondingly longer amount of time to move 15 degrees, from just over an hour in the tropics to nearly two hours at high latitudes.ĭetermining east and west without a compass may require some practice however, the following is a tried and true method. During winter, the sun’s path through the sky is shorter, and the sun will cover 15 degrees in less time (30 – 45 minutes) depending on your latitude. During spring and fall, 15 degrees corresponds to roughly one hour. Once you have determined west, place your pinkie over the sun’s disk, and measure the distance to the western horizon in 15 degree increments. If you have a compass, determining the cardinal directions is straightforward. The distance between the tip of your thumb and tip of your pinkie will be roughly 15 degrees. To approximate 15 degrees of sky, spread your fingers apart and extend your arm straight out. During an ideal 12 hour day, the sun will move westward 15 degrees each hour. Next, imagine the sky as a large semicircle extending 180 degrees from horizon to horizon. Areas north of the Arctic circle (66.5 degrees N latitude) or south of the Antarctic circle (66.5 degrees S latitude) experience the midnight sun during the summer and a corresponding period of perpetual darkness during the winter. This phenomenon occurs because the Earth is tilted 23.5 degrees with respect to its rotational axis. The farther you get from the equator, however, the longer the daylight hours will be during summer and the shorter they will be during winter. At the equator itself, days and nights are 12 hours long every day of the year. First, there are two factors which determine day length – your distance from the equator and the season of the year. Calculating the times of sunrise and sunset may seem like a daunting challenge to someone unaccustomed to sky watching, but with some basic knowledge and a little practice, it is a relatively easy skill to learn.
