The Duke of Windsor is often credited with inventing the Windsor knot for neckties. The credit for the invention, however, should go to his father, who was Duke of York before he became King George V.

NFL Kneelers Dixie And The Confederate Flag — I wish I was in the land of one-percenters and owned a football team.
And if my one-percenter football players were miffed about the unfairness of life — maybe coming from a violent community where 70 percent of kids grow up in homes without a father present — and decided to express their pique by kneeling for the National Anthem, I wouldn’t get mad.
In fact, I would lower the Stars and Stripes at the start of the next game. While they were kneeling there wondering what was going on I would raise the Confederate Battle Flag in its place.
And as they, ironically, would stand in anger and confusion I would play Dixie in lieu of the Star Spangled Banner.
And when it was over, I’d announce on the broadcast system: “Now do you stupid bastards get it?”
Then I’d raise the right flag and let things continue.
Truthfully, I would not be welcome in the land of one-percenters. Most of them voted for Hillary.

The 2017 autumnal equinox is right now 4:02 p.m. EDT, Sept. 22 according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac as the sun crosses the celestial equator. Fall has arrived in the Northern Hemisphere, and the days are now shorter than the nights and will continue to be so until the spring equinox.
The celestial equator is a circle concentric with the actual equator that extends infinitely to space. As the Earth has a 23 degree tilt the the northern half tilts towards the Sun during half its orbit and away the other half. The equinoxes occur when tilt switches.
