Dusk

Dusk is the darkest stage of twilight in the evening. Pre-dusk, during early to intermediate stages of twilight, there may be enough light in the sky under clear-sky conditions to read outdoors without artificial illumination, but at the end of civil twilight, when the earth rotates to a point at which the center of the sun is at 6° below the local horizon, artificial illumination is required to read outside.

Technical definitions

The time of dusk can be thought of relative to the time of twilight, which has several alternative technical definitions:

  • Dusk as the last part of civil twilight ends when the sun is 6 degrees below the horizon in the evening. At this time objects are distinguishable and some stars and planets are visible to the naked eye.
  • Dusk as the last part of nautical twilight ends when the sun is 12 degrees below the horizon in the evening. At this time, objects are no longer distinguishable, and the horizon is no longer visible to the naked eye.
  • Dusk as the last part of astronomical twilight ends when the sun is 18 degrees below the horizon in the evening. At this time the sun no longer illuminates the sky, and thus no longer interferes with astronomical observations.

    Dusk!

    Dusk! is a premium monthly subscription television channel. Established in 2009, Dusk! is the first and only adult TV channel in the world aimed at a female audience. Demand for female-oriented adult films, porna or women's erotica has been increasing for many years and is becoming increasingly accepted. Dusk! believes women have their own fantasies and needs and therefore require a different kind of adult films. By questioning its female users via an online panel, Dusk! has become an expert in this area. Dusk! is available in The Netherlands on the platforms of Ziggo, UPC Netherlands, CAIW and KPN and broadcasts 24/7. The channel is owned by 2GrapesMedia.

    Content

    Dusk! offers a unique and diverse mix of mainly adult films and scenes, from all over the world and from a female point of view, and adult films in the genre of feminist pornography. The information provided by the online panel is the main guideline for selection, enabling to stay up to date with tastes, opinions and likes and dislikes regarding adult content for women. Content rejected by the panel is not broadcast. This method of selecting films has resulted in a new genre within the adult entertainment industry: porna.

    Caesars Atlantic City

    Caesars Atlantic City is a luxury hotel, casino, and spa resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Like Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, it has an ancient Roman theme. Atlantic City's second casino, it opened in 1979 as the Caesars Boardwalk Regency. The 124,720 sq ft (11,587 m2). casino has over 3,400 slot machines, and is one of the largest in Atlantic City. The resort has experienced much expansion and renovation in the past decade, including a new hotel tower, a new parking garage, and a new shopping center, Playground Pier.

    History

    Caesars purchased the 11-year-old Howard Johnson's Regency Motor Hotel in 1977 and announced that it would renovate the 11-story, 425-room structure and add seven floors to the building, expanding the room count to 548, plus a 52,000 sq.ft. casino at an estimated cost of 300 million dollars. Despite the governor of New Jersey's demands, the Casino Control Commission allowed Caesars to use the Howard Johnson building due to it being relatively new construction. The casino opened on June 26, 1979 being the second casino to open after Resorts International in 1978. The casino first opened as the Boardwalk Regency omitting the Caesars name as the Casino Control Commission continued to investigate the corporation. In 1983 Caesars was added to the name and it became Caesars Boardwalk Regency.

    Dusk

    by: Reuben

    An eventful year that it was,
    And if i'm still here its because,
    The stars have gone out from behind your eyes
    This pain is real this wound is life size.
    And I cant belive it you need too pull through
    And I hope you make it I'm waiting for you.
    So you are begining too choke,
    But how can you not see the joke?
    The sound of your voice still rings in my ears,
    It's tired and angry and quiet all these years
    And this situation it tears us apart
    And we joke about it, we make jokes of ourselves!
    But we know,
    But,
    But we know,
    But,
    But we know,
    But,
    But we know
    *Whispered*
    When will this all stop
    And i won't have to run or rush or push or jump
    I'll give back everything I took
    And kiss everyone I love
    And I'll fall asleep
