Autumnal Equinox Sunday
*What happens on the autumnal equinox Sunday?
The 23.5-degree tilt of the Earth's axis is responsible for the seasons, changing how directly sunlight hits parts of the planet.
Earth reaches the autumnal equinox at 4:44 p.m. Sunday, marking the start of fall in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere.
At the equinox, the Earth is spinning upright relative to the sun -- this only happens twice a year because the Earth's axis is tilted by 23.5 degrees. During our fall and winter, the axis is tilted away from the sun, while during spring and summer the North Pole is tilted toward the sun, giving us more direct sunlight and warmth. (The axis always points the same direction, as the above graphic explains; its orientation relative to the sun just changes as the planet revolves around the sun.)

National Hot Dog Day - July 23
National Hot Dog Day
When : July 23rd
National Hot Dog Day celebrates one of America's favorite summer sandwiches. It is only fitting that this dog gets its day.
Its summertime. Hot dogs are center stage on the grill, and at picnics all across America. They are at the ballpark. They are sold from carts on street corners in every city. It's not hard to find them. We consume hundreds of millions of hot dogs on the Fourth of July alone.
Enjoy National Hot Dog Day to the fullest. Have a couple of hot dogs for lunch or dinner. And, don't forget to cook a few on a stick at the evening campfire.
What's in a hot dog? Don't' ask, and we won't tell. Sometimes, its best if you don't know.
Happy National Hot Dog Day!
SONIC® NATIONAL HOT DOG DAY, JULY 23—EVERY DAY
Sonic hereby declares July 23 National Hot Dog Day, and every man, woman and child shall have the right to buy as many hot dogs as they want for only $1 each (bun included). Because if there are two things our entire country can celebrate, it's a great deal and a hot dog in each hand. We know our forefathers would be proud.

"About Numbers, Pictures and Words"
With Guest Speaker Dr. Rachel Korazim
April 7, 2013 at 3:00 p.m.

Overview
Yom HaShoah commemorates the Holocaust and honors the six million Jews who were murdered as part of the Nazis’ systematic plan to exterminate the Jewish people. In Hebrew, it means "Day of the Calamity." It is also the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, which is observed this year on Monday, April 8.
In the spirit of shared tribute, Alvernia University and the Jewish Federation of Reading gather to remember the victims of the Holocaust and ghetto uprisings in a public observance. Joining the program will be keynote speaker, Dr. Rachel Korazim. Dr. Korazim will talk about humanizing the millions of victims, going beyond the numbers, and looking for the beauty destroyed in the pictures that portray atrocities. She will also discuss the importance of paying close attention to how we speak and what we say about those who perished.
The remembrance will conclude with a memorial candle lighting service led by survivors and family members of survivors.
This session will be held at the following location:
Alvernia University
Bernardine Hall, Lecture Hall
400 Saint Bernardine Street, Reading, PA 19607
