Day (30 Oct 2010)
"How the Days Can Be Shortened Without Losing the Day Count"

⁹And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.

Amos 8:9

If the sun goes down at noon, one has a "shortened day."
