Daily Bread for 7.4.14

Good morning, Whitewater.

We’ll have a beautiful Independence Day with a high of seventy-seven. Sunrise is 5:22 AM and sunset 8:37 PM. The moon is a waxing crescent with forty-two percent of its visible disk illuminated.

Literally thousands of flights travel across the North Atlantic each day. The British National Air Traffic Services (Nats) recently produced an animation to make visual what that many flight paths would look like:

 

An animation by the National Air Traffic Services (Nats), the UK air traffic control service, demonstrates the flight paths of the 2,000 to 3,000 aircraft that fly across the North Atlantic on a daily basis. This animation shows 2,524 flights that travelled between Canada, the US and Europe on a single day in August 2013. Via the Guardian.

Here’s the final game in Puzability‘s C to Shining C series:

For each day, we started with a word or phrase that contains two C’s and in which the letters between the C’s spell a word or phrase. The answer phrase, described by each day’s clue, is the longer two-C piece followed by the shorter word or phrase.
Example:
Romantic flower that lasts for a tiny fraction of time
Answer:
Microsecond rose
What to Submit:
Submit the phrase, with the longer piece first (as “Microsecond rose” in the example), for your answer.
