Walking tourist route "History of Jews in the World" (2.5 hours).
In 1765, 607 Jews lived in Mir and its environs. In 1806 - 807 (of whom 30 were merchants, 106 were tailors), in 1833 their number increased to 1583 (75.5% of the total population of the town), and in 1847 there were already 2273 people. The largest number of Jews was registered in 1897 - 3319 (about 62% of the total population). In 1939 there were 5,500 inhabitants in Mir, 3,300 of whom were Jews. Most of them are artisans and traders, some of them are wealthy merchants. Worldly merchants were engaged in industrial entrepreneurship. Leasing was a widespread occupation among the Jewish population. Of great importance in the economic life of Jewish families were occupations related to the production and sale of alcoholic beverages. In this area, there was fierce competition between landowners, Jews and the state. Thus, the Jews of the World in 1696 obtained from the princes of the Radziwills the privilege of selling "hot" drinks. Starting from the 18th century. The world is an important spiritual center of Jewry in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Commonwealth.
Remarkable architectural objects related to the life and religion of the Jewish community have survived to this day. It can be considered that the only complex of buildings of the "synagogue courtyard:" "has survived in the world. the so-called "cold" and "warm" synagogues, a school, as well as kagal and yeshiva buildings.
If Christians and Muslims of the World had one religious object each, then Jews had several. So, in 1886 there was 1 synagogue and 8 prayer schools.
Kirova Street, 33.Museum of Culture of the town of Mir Viktor Sakel "Mirsky Posad".
Getting acquainted with the history of Jews in Mir should start with a visit to this private museum, located in the building of an old tavern. Perhaps it was here that Vladislav Syrokomlya once met a sad coachman, who told him his love story, which became the plot of the romance "When I served as a coachman at the post office." Most of the exposition is devoted to Jewish themes. The exhibits of the museum were collected by the owner himself during search activities. Contacts: 8029 9294268. Email: (hidden)
Kirova Street, 25. Today is the post office. Previously it was one of the buildings of the yeshiva. It was opened in 1815 and was one of the most famous higher educational institutions for male Jews. In terms of the number of students, it was the second largest after Volozhinsky (about 300 people) in the Lithuanian direction. In 1939 it was moved to Vilnius.

The synagogue, which means "meeting house", served as a gathering place and a focus of the spiritual and cultural life of Jews. There were several such temples in Mir. The largest synagogue, which was also called "cold", was built according to the project of 1896 in the style of classicism. It was mainly used for celebrations. According to other sources, this building was part of the Mir yeshiva.
The building was called cold because the existing stoves did not sufficiently heat the synagogue.
At the synagogue there was a prayer school "Vysikun" ("Vasikin" - one who starts to pray before sunrise).After the Great Patriotic War, the building was thoroughly rebuilt - a portico, columns and a balcony with a wrought-iron lattice appeared on the facade, the inner space was divided into classrooms. Since 1950, it has housed a secondary school, and in recent years - an educational and production complex.
The building of the present restaurant "Mirsky Posad" housed a synagogue. +3751596 71233 The merchant synagogue or "Teplaya" is the current building of the Belarusbank branch. While the empty building near the hotel "Mirsky posad" and the restaurant is supposedly a mikvah-water reservoir, in which ablution is performed for the purpose of purification. According to the testimony of old-timers in the former building of a kindergarten on Kirov Street, 20 once housed the kagal (the administrative governing body of the Jewish community).
In the building of the city library, Kirov str., 22 (tel. 80159671203) there was Heder — a religious elementary school.
Next to the city library, 20 Kirov street (heder), there was a boarding house for school students. Now it is a residential building, the house of a rabbi. 1 May Street, 1
Another synagogue was located here. And with her the Prayer School "Zhukhovitskaya Crafts". After the destruction of the building as a result of a fire on August 9, 1892, it was first restored in a wooden form, and after another fire in 1894 - in a stone one.Another synagogue was located here. And with her the Prayer School "Zhukhovitskaya Crafts". After the destruction of the building as a result of a fire on August 9, 1892, it was first restored in a wooden form, and after another fire in 1894 - in a stone one. The construction was completed in May 1897. And today the building of this prayer school can be seen standing on the street. May Day. It almost did not change its appearance and represents a "classic" view of a synagogue on the territory of Belarus. Recently, the building housed the House of Consumer Services. Today it is a residential building. In the very center of the village of Mir, there are several quarters of very interesting and attractive ordinary urban development of the late 19th - early 20th centuries. At the same time, individual buildings that make up this historical development even date back to the 18th century.
Old-timers claim that the building in the photo to the right was a Jewish tavern. In confirmation of this, the image of a glass in the decor of the facade. Others testify that there was a pharmacy (there were 4 of them in World) of the Jew Pernik, and on the facade there is not a glass at all, but a pharmacy beaker. By the way, it is known that he was a prisoner of the ghetto. He managed to escape, after which he lived in Israel.
Not far from the cafe "Ragneda" on the 17 September square is the store "Products". According to available information, this building housed the pharmacy warehouse of the Jew Schwartz Charny.
The history of the Jews of the World during the Great Patriotic War is tragic. It was from that time to the present day that the number of representatives of the Jewish diaspora in the world came to zero.
Yereyskie cemeteries, st.Soviet (according to some sources it was founded in the 16th century, according to others - from 1731), After the Nazi occupation, most of the graves were destroyed, many gravestones were stolen or used for construction purposes. The path to the left of the entrance leads to the grave of Eruham hai-Levi Leibovich, the son of Abraham, the spiritual leader and teacher of the local yeshiva, the author of several religious books. The grave of 1936 is today a place of pilgrimage for Jews from all over the world.

Yablonovshchina tract (1 km from Mir towards Nesvizh). An obelisk of 1966 at the site of the deaths of 750 Jews in June 1942.
Today, there are even legends about the life of Jews in the world. There was a large bowl for donations in the synagogue. They said that everyone who puts money there will receive ten times more, and whoever takes from there will be cursed forever. Once a thief ran into the synagogue, grabbed as much money as he could from the holy vessel and rushed away. At the same moment on the street he was knocked to death by a wagon. Since then, a ghost has been wandering around the synagogue at midnight. And if he meets anyone at such a late hour, he tries to foist that damn money.
Here's another story told by local historian Viktor Sakel. An elderly woman lived not far from the Mirsky Posad Museum.For many years she kept memories of how, during the war, she witnessed how the Nazis shot her neighbors - a Jewish family - just because a baby was crying in her mother's arms. The old woman often complained that she heard children crying at night. Once
Viktor Yanovich had to spend the night in the museum building. Horror gripped him from what he heard: the shots and the crying of the child were not fiction.

In 1939, America decided it would stay out of WWII, as it was a European war. Eventually America decided to intervene.
After the war started and it looked like America's allies would have a difficult time winning, America decided to start selling weapons to Britain, but only if they came to us and payed in cash.
America also sold them destroyers if America could gain the right to build military bases around the Atlantic Ocean.
America eventually declared the western hemisphere neutral, and had ships patrol near the boundary of the western hemisphere and tell Britain the location of any submarines encountered.
After America stopped sending large amounts of oil and iron to japan, they attacked Pearl Harbor and America quickly joined the war.
Throughout the war America's economy kept climbing out of the Great Depression. This is due to the jobs that mass production created. Even females were allowed to start working in places that were male only before, such as factories for gun and ammo production.

The internet contains so much information that I consider it the new textbook. Almost everyone knows how to use a computer. Millions of people now get their e-mails through their smart phones, i-pads and even some watches when they are away from their computers.
Access to the internet is available everywhere you go. Adults use this new textbook to look up weather information, health issues or to stay in touch with their favorite sports team. It has become an integral part of our lives.
Retrieving information from the net has become the number one source for information needed for reports and projects for students. Parents are using it to home school their children from kindergarten to twelfth grade.
Public schools and even some private schools are now using computers as their source of textbooks so that students don't have to carry home the heavy tomes. Some schools even allow students to "check out" a laptop to take home.
As with any tool, when using it the user has a responsibility to know how to use the device and how to take care of it and most importantly the etiquette of using social media. This is called digital citizenship or digital responsibility.
There are hundreds of universities and colleges that are offering on-line courses. For students who have a learning disability, college courses at home via the internet can be a saving grace.
For students who have a working knowledge of computers and have some marketable skills, many job opportunities await them. Many sites now list job openings for IT personnel. Some of these jobs can be done at home via the computer.
I know a home schooling parent's time is limited and the public or private school teacher doesn't have much extra time to spend looking for supplemental materials to use.
I also know how frustrated I get when I go to a website because I think I will get some free worksheets or other material. THEN when I get there, I may get one free worksheet and have to sign up for a monthly fee. A few sites may require a minimal fee. These are sites that do have samples that you can look at first before you commit to a financial outlay.

Here is a site that will appeal to all mothers, whether you homeschool or not. Mom's Agenda is a business that was started by a mom that was busy and needed a way to keep dates organized as well as her LIFE.
This is not an agenda (schedule) made by someone sitting behind a desk but by someone who had a busy lifestyle and found a way to get it together. I hope these beautiful agendas, daytimers and calendars find a way into your home and life!
You will find a list of recommended websites on the educational websites page.
BEWARE of bogus websites or link farms. These are sites that rate high on the search pages, but offer nothing. For instance, you might see Educational Directory. Thinking this is a great site, you go to it only to find it has thousands of other sites to go to. You have to filter through these to find the ones you want.
Also, be aware of legitimate websites versus phishing websites. Phishing is an attempt by cyber-criminals to get sensitive information such as financial and banking status. They usually use e-mails as the initial contact. It is important for you and your family to be able to recognize these attempts.
Take this 3 minute quiz to find out how much you know about legitimate sites. Make sure anyone in your family that uses the computer takes this quiz. Go to Open DNS.
As I find good web sites, I will add them to the list. Please let me know if you find a website I should include on this list. I will check it out. If it fits my criteria, I will add it so that others might benefit from it.

Buddhism arose in northeastern India sometime between the late 6th and early 4th centuries BCE. It is often associated with meditation, philosophical questioning, and an ethic of compassion. The popular view holds that Buddhism rejects ritual, magic, and image worship, and is largely compatible with science. Yet this characterization is strikingly different from what the religion has historically meant to Asian Buddhists. And it fails to capture the vitality that many contemporary artists—particularly those working in digital media—find in that abundant tradition.
In Korean-American artist Michael Joo’s 2005 installation Bodhi Obfuscatus (Space-Baby), 50 live surveillance cameras in a geodesic halo and 100 mirrors and monitors fragment the serene face of a late 2nd-/early 3rd-century Gandharan statue of a standing Buddha. The statue’s right hand, now broken off, was most likely originally raised with the palm facing outward, the gesture of reassurance. Aided by fiber-optic lights, the cameras cast a series of projections onto flat video screens that surround the sculpture, in a more or less direct homage to the Korean-born visionary artist Nam June Paik, the video-art pioneer who authored the concept of electronic wallpaper and created the 1974 installations TV Garden, a multiscreen literalization of its title, and TV Buddha, a seated Buddha statue perpetually contemplating its own image on a video monitor.
Joo’s work is intimate and “very silent,” he told the Brooklyn Rail in October 2022. “We had this carpeting and everything to deaden the sound as well.… The effect was to get you to focus on yourself, your own presence when you’re in the space.… As one’s eyes adjusted to the light, I wanted that whole image to be absorbed at once.”

World Labyrinth Day in Schools
World Labyrinth Day is always the first Saturday in May.
Therefore, typically World Labyrinth Day in Schools is celebrated on the Friday prior.
I wanted to use this post to showcase those resources.
This is an Australian initiative, so it’s really exciting!
Even if you are not celebrating World Labyrinth Day in a School setting, I really encourage you to have a look at the various links.
There is even some printable finger labyrinths!
For more general information, check out my other labyrinth posts 🙂
If you are local, there are a number of links to Melbourne Labyrinths there.
I also plan to do another post before the end of the week detailing some of the local walks that are planned around Melbourne and Victoria.
So if you know of one, or you are planning one yourself, let me know in the comments!

Around 1900, electric motors and internal-combustion engines were still equally popular in automobiles.
Particularly in the United States, the smooth electric powertrain was more prevalent in urban traffic, while the internal-combustion engine was the preferred choice in rural areas thanks to its greater range. An electrically powered vehicle was also the first to break the 100 kilometer-per-hour barrier. On April 29, 1899, Camille Jenatzy reached a top speed of 105.882 kilometers per hour in the vehicle named “La Jamais Contente”.

At Bosch, the history of automotive electric motors dates back to the 1960s. Even then, the idea was to find an alternative system that would produce lower emissions than the internal-combustion engine. Proposals for high-performance batteries that could store far more energy than the conventional lead batteries of that era formed the main catalyst for the intensive research this field.
For their first project, the engineers replaced the spark-ignition engine and transmission of a standard vehicle with a Bosch electric motor. Thanks to an electronic control, the motor could also be run as a generator, and thus recover braking energy.
In October 1974, seven electric buses were put into passenger service in Mönchengladbach for a large-scale field test. Bosch provided the electric motors, electronic control units, and auxiliary systems. Weighing six metric tons, the battery was transported separately on a special single-axle trailer. It had a range of 80 kilometers and was regularly exchanged every two hours at a special station. Changing the battery was fully automatic, and took just under five minutes.
One year previously, at the 1973 IAA motor show, Bosch had presented a development report on a hybrid-drive passenger car fitted with both an internal-combustion engine and an electric motor. Up to that point, the batteries of most hybrid vehicles had been charged by a generator powered by an internal-combustion engine. The novelty in the Bosch project was the use of the internal-combustion engine to both charge the battery and drive the vehicle, meaning it used far less energy overall.
Despite such groundbreaking research results, these developments still did not get beyond the project stage. Insufficient battery power remained the major hurdle. All the same, the research work continued. During the 1980s and 1990s, Bosch worked together with automakers on numerous studies and prototypes of hybrid and electric powertrains.

The first production cars to use Bosch hybrid technology were the VW Touareg and the Porsche Cayenne, launched in 2010. They were also the world’s first parallel full hybrids. These vehicles offer automakers a flexible, modular electrification solution that does not require a special transmission.
They use state-of-the-art control technology to manage the interplay between internal-combustion engine and electric motor. In total, Bosch has already completed more than 50 electrification projects for customers.
Each year, Bosch invests 400 million euros in electromobility. More information you can find here.

The model for state building proposed by the great German sociologist Max Weber emphasizes the establishment of the state’s monopoly of violence and the transition from patrimonial to rational legal authority.
One of the most critical processes associated with these transitions was the role of the state in creating a “nation”. A famous study of this is provided by the historian Eugen Weber whose book Peasants into Frenchmen studied how the French state based in the Paris basin spread out throughout France, and gradually imposed, particularly via schooling, a French identity that had previously not existed in most of what is now France. The state came first and then a French identity followed.
This has become the canonical model of the emergence of modern institutions and the modern state.
regular exercise can substantially improve memory, although different types of exercise seem to affect the brain quite differently…
But the women who had exercised, either by walking or weight training, performed better on almost all of the cognitive tests after six months than they had before.
There were, however, differences. While both exercise groups improved almost equally on tests of spatial memory, the women who had walked showed greater gains in verbal memory than the women who had lifted weights.

I bet you all must have read and seen many things about this ultimate definition of architecture, this herculean monster, guarding infinite secrets and treasures which the Pharaohs wanted to die with, you have understood some, some you didn’t! Some sounded fascinating and something you believed is true and you are desperate to know everything dark about it. So here we are, presenting everything that you always wanted to know.
The great pyramid of Giza (pronounced Gizeh) build in 4th dynasty 2250 B.C i.e. exactly 4264 years in past from 2015, was built by Pharaoh Khufu and is rightfully named after him. You must be living under a rock if you have not seen any picture of the pyramid till now but trust me, this is nowhere close to how spectacular it must have looked when it was made of smooth white limestone covering which has completely been destroyed by now. Topped with a golden apex, it would have been a sight to behold. This is how it would have looked like.
IMPOSSIBLE ARCHITECTURE AND HIDDEN MYSTERIES:
Quick outlook: (just for info)
147 metres (481.4 feet) tall, each of the four sides averaging a length of 216 metres (755.75 feet), sides rise at an angle of 51°52′ and is aligned with each of the four divisions ( cardinal points) of the compass. Scriptures say that it took 20 years to make. Years of 3D scanning, surveying and approximating, we now know that the pyramid weighs approximately 5.75 million metric ton. Inner core is made from hard yellow limestone while the outer casting was made from smooth white limestone. The interior chambers are made from solid blocks of granite.
If you just sum all that up, Even if the workers worked continuously for 20 years, they would have to put in place about 32 metric ton (32.3761 to be exact) of slab every hour, which also had to be cut out from hard limestone and granite. That is about putting in place an equivalent of three largest land animal ever recorded (African elephant, 11 tons) every hour. The granite used in the hard core and inner chambers were brought from Aswan, through Nile – a journey of roughly 1000 km. Remember these rocks were first cut before sending to Giza and granite on a hardness scale scores about 7, i.e. it would have been extremely hard to cut millions of rocks of granite each weighing about 1.5 – 3 tons. The only technique we think the Egyptians had known to use was to just smash dolerite rock into the granite till it breaks down. Even with continuous smashing, only few millimetres of shaping would have been achieved every hour. Also they didn’t knew about wheels. They used to wet the sand (experimentally proven, reduces friction by almost a factor of 0.5) and drag stones on it to the working site.
Finally and most interestingly, in 1940, a British pilot discovered that each side of the pyramid were actually indented concavely to make it have a total of 8 equal sides. What’s weirder is that these can only be noticed at the dawn and dusk of spring and autumn equinox. What’s most weird is that why they made it such that it is only visible from the top? Who did they wanted to show?
TREASURES AND SECRETS
The great pyramid of Giza, was raided many times in history by thieves and rulers so there is absolutely no hope that we will be able to discover all the treasures that was originally in the pyramid. However, one thing is for sure we will discover many more treasures.
Why? Because out of all the 123 pyramids in Egypt, only this one has secret doors in the shafts, in turn hidden in king’s and queen’s burial chamber, both in exact same location. These chambers were discovered by treasure hunters in late 1800s.it is so narrow that human cannot go inside. Only recently could we design robots to go inside. While inside the shaft, the robot was soon blocked by another wall, same place in both south and north shaft. When a hole of few millimetres was drilled and a camera was slowly inserted inside, few feet away, in both walls, there were other doors which had big copper handles, which was the first out of all 123 pyramids. We are still not successful in finding what’s behind those doors.
Also the most important thing for the pyramid – the true burial chamber of Pharaoh Khufu, the mighty ruler who build this impossible structure hasn’t been found till date.
Dr Zahi Hawass, former head of the Supreme Council of Antiquities under President Mubarak’s regime, has announced that there are significant discoveries still to be made in the Valley of the Kings, including a secret burial chamber which he believes lies in wait inside the Great Pyramid.
He believes and I quote, “whatever lies beyond those doors with copper handle is worth a lot both spiritually and historically not to mention the million pounds they may worth”.
QUICK LOOK :
As far as we know, ever since being made, the Arabs were the first to enter the great pyramid in 1820 AD. They entered forcibly since they couldn’t find the secret entrance. Under caliph, Al mamoun, the Arabs broke into the great pyramid by boring into the limestone with crude instruments. After months they did manage to break in and find the descending passage. The connection of the descending passage with the ascending passage was blocked with granite plugs so they bored around these also. They finally reached the King’s and Queen’s chamber and found nothing (except the empty granite box called "the empty coffin". They were disappointed. No treasures, mummies, etc. were found.
Ever since 1166AD, we got documentations how this empty coffin made a strange melodious sound.
Alexander the Great also spent time alone in the King's Chamber like many famous people throughout history. What draws these individuals to this place?
This monstrous relic is not at all free from curses and ghosts. Legend has it that Khufu leaves his resting place at the stroke of midnight and roam. In fact ways are made in the pyramid itself that leads to a total of 5 boat pits where Khufu could take the boats and cross the channel to the Neverland.
Throughout the nurturing period of the tourism industry, even to this day, people have reported seeing a man with his three children, roaming dressed like that of 1920s. They would pass through walls.
To end with, here’s a li'l history riddle. We have found Egyptian mummies tested positive for cocaine. What’s the big deal? Well cocaine plants are native only to Americans. But wasn’t Columbus the first one to discover America?

Specifically, GE will partner with researchers from Arizona State University and Cornell University to study the unsteady spray phenomena that's thought to be ideal for fuel injectors. Through Large Eddy Simulation, GE hopes to discover an ideal spray pattern and fuel injector design, and reduce its number of lengthy, real-world optimization trials. While the research is initially aimed at aircraft engines, the knowledge gained from these experiments may work its way into GE's other products, such as locomotive engines and land-based gas turbines.

The big news following the 59’ Uprising was, of course, the escape of the Dalai Lama from Lhasa, which was featured in cover stories in TIME, LIFE, Reader’s Digest and other journals and papers.

One of the things that we try to steer away from when teaching using the common core method is to get away from wrote memorization, teachers answering questions for students and basic surface learning.
Assessment, or testing, usually takes the form (in my class) of an essay or a multiple choice exam. I decided to try something to help students review for a test but at the same time provide instant feedback from students as to their understanding of the material.
3-2-1 Assessment: (after discussing a topic or subject)
1. On separate sticky notes, each student writes (1) one question they still have, (2) two things they do not understand and (3) three things they have learned.
2. When finished, students affix the sticky notes to a bulletin board, poster or piece of chart paper divided into three columns labeled “3”, “2” and “1”.
3. Student’s notes can then be reviewed to construct a picture of a classes understanding and identify areas of reteaching.
This method takes moments and it gives the teacher near instant feedback as to student understanding.
Another way you can use this, if your school allows the use of cell phones for classroom work (and if they haven’t, you are in a museum and you are the curator of the museum), is to set up an internet poll where students can text their answers and then watch the bars raise or lower.
The best internet polling site that is totally free is www.polleverywhere.com. All you have to do is create a free poll using their easy to use instructions. Ask a question such as how well did you understand (insert random concept here)? Give them three answers such as “fully understand”, “understand somewhat” and “totally don’t get it.” Your students then text a number to another number on the screen and get an instant poll result.
Try this once and you will not go back to the old way of doing things. It is loads of fun and makes your students feel like their voices are being heard.


Although the Moon appears very bright in our sky, it only reflects about 16 per cent of the sunlight that falls on it, making it about as bright as an asphalt parking lot. The Earth, in contrast reflects about 40 per cent of the light that falls on it, because of clouds, snow and ice, and light colored surfaces like grasslands and deserts. The fraction of light that a planet reflects is called its albedo. Albedo in the Solar System ranges from over 70 per cent for brilliant cloud covered Venus to less than 5 per cent for some asteroids. This figure shows albedo markings on the near side of the Moon.
The Moon shows little color to the eye except various shades of white and gray. The photograph was computer enhanced to bring out extremely subtle variations in color.
The near side of the moon is very different from the far side. The near side is dominated by large dark lava plains called maria (Latin for "seas"). The far side has very few maria. Many of the maria are circular because they are actually enormous craters or impact basins that were later filled by lava flows.
All craters bigger than 50 kilometers are shown on this figure. Young craters are surrounded by bright rays of fresh debris blasted out by the impact that created the crater. The crater at bottom with the very large ray system is called Tycho. It is 85 kilometers in diameter. The Apollo 17 mission collected samples of material from these rays, which were dated on Earth. Tycho is estimated to be 108 million years old, or to have formed during the time of the dinosaurs. Slightly above and left of center is Copernicus, another crater with bright rays estimated to be about 800 million years old. Left of Copernicus is Kepler and above Kepler is Aristarchus, the brightest crater on the Moon. All lunar craters on the near side of the Moon were named for famous astronomers.
Some craters are filled with mare basalt and show up as very dark. One of the most conspicuous is at top center, called Plato (stretching the definition of "astronomer" considerably). There are far more craters in the bright areas of the Moon than in the maria, and many of the craters in the maria formed earlier and were flooded with lava flows. So the history of the Moon is one of early cratering, followed by lava flows filling some of the giant impact basins, followed by very little activity except for occasional impacts that created the bright ray craters.
"Mare" is Latin for "sea." The "seas" are now known to be vast lava plains filling ancient impact basins. The names mean:

The skill of blending sounds together can be practiced in so many different ways. You can employ the help of the computer and join a STEPS class, create stacks with your color-coded cards, or use magnetic letters on the refrigerator. In this video the teacher is using a magnetic doodle board. This is a fun and easy way to manipulate the phonograms for quick blending practice. Notice how the teacher says the sound of each letter as she writes allowing the student to see and hear it at the same time. While the main focus is on blending, the teacher is able to refine the accurate production of the sounds and continue toward the goal of automatic recall of the sounds. Have some blending fun using nonsense or real words.

 Another beautiful photo today from Dan Bush. This one is from his gallery of sunrises and sunsets .
We use this photo today in honor of the June solstice, which happens today at 11:28 Universal Time  (5:28 Mountain Daylight Time).
No world body has designated an official day to start each new season, and yet today is widely recognized as the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere and beginning of winter on the southern half of Earth’s globe. It is also the longest day in our hemisphere and shortest day south of the equator.
Throughout the world, this solstice represents a “turning” of the year. The word solstice can mean a turning, outer limit or culmination of something. From around the world, the sun is now rising and setting as far north as it ever does. By tomorrow, it will have begun a subtle shift southward on the sky’s dome again.
