(NEXSTAR) — While we’re just starting to enjoy the leaves changing, we’ll soon be going through a less desirable change: the bi-annual changing of our clocks. Maybe you won’t manually be changing the clocks in your home, but they will be falling back an hour as daylight saving time comes to an end. As you grimace at the thought of the extra darkness we’ll soon experience when the clocks change, you may be wondering, "Why do we even still observe daylight saving time?" It’s a fairly simple question with a slightly more complex answer. That’s not to say efforts haven’t been made to try to end our observance of daylight saving time altogether. How soon until daylight saving time ends? We've had a back-and-forth relationship with daylight saving time since the early 1900s. At first, it was a wartime measure and was repealed in 1919, according to the University of Colorado Boulder. It was reinstated in 1942 during World War II before Congress passed the Unifor...What is the difference between apple juice and apple cider?

(WHTM) -- Do you prefer apple juice or apple cider? Before answering that question, let's dive into the differences between them.The most obvious difference is the color, as apple juice is lighter in color while apple cider is darker.But other than apple juice and cider tasting and looking different, it's how they are made that differentiates them. Pumpkin patches in Central Pennsylvania Apple juice and apple cider are both pressed fresh apples, but that is where the similarities stop.The Kitchn states that apple juice is filtered and has added preservatives such as sugar. This makes apple juice sweeter and allows for a longer shelf life.According to the food website Does It Go Bad, the shelf life of unopened, chilled apple juice should be between three to six months. The site also states that once opened, the juice will last up to three weeks. If you buy store-refrigerated apple juice, the website says, you should go by the labeled "use-by" date.Southern Living says that apple c...Powerball jackpot now 4th-largest: When is your next chance to win?

The story behind how Texas counties got their shapes

AMARILLO, Texas (KAMR/KCIT) — With a unique shape crafted over five centuries, Texas spans more than 268,500 square miles, encompassing everything from briny, picturesque coastlands to vast expansive mesas. However, the curious qualities about the regions and areas of the Lone Star State don't stop with its biomes and general shape but go further into the look of its counties. They're kind of funny-looking, aren't they? Both born Texans and new visitors seem to think so. At a glance, many have noted that the shapes of Texas counties appear strikingly inconsistent. In the eastern and central portions of the state, they're stacked in a downward curve in all manner of different shapes. Moving westward the counties shift to be slightly more consistent, and create a straightforward grid pattern around the Panhandle-Plains region, only to spread out again into large and lopsided swathes of land around Big Bend.

Edward LottermanUkrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Zelenskyy has presented his earnest pleas to Congress and President Joe Biden and is off to Canada. A recent poll reflects our nation’s political dividedness as at no other time since 1861. Some 71% percent of Democrats support more aid to Ukraine while 62% of Republicans oppose it. In a rapid about-face, Donald Trump turned the GOP into the pro-Russia party.Yet there is much cross-party consensus on support for Taiwan against Chinese threats to take it by force. What to make of all this? And how does it affect the economy? Or, how does economics affect such foreign policy issues?Two centuries ago, Prussian military theorist Carl von Clausewitz argued that “war is the continuation of politics by other means.” A century ago, just four months after the armistice ending World War I hostilities, Halford Mackinder, the British geographer who coined the term “geopolitics,” added economics to Clausewitz’s definition.
