Daylight Saving Time ends Sunday morning (November 6, 2016) at 2:00 a.m. when clocks “fall back” one hour to 1:00 a.m. and an hour’s sleep is gained.
Most current computers, cell phones and other digital devices will make the adjustment automatically, though other devices will need to be reset manually – and the occasional technology glitch leads to clocks that are reset on the wrong day, or not at all.

IMPORTANT DATES TO REMEMBER:
Pneumonia, an infection of the lungs, needlessly affects millions of people worldwide each year. Pneumonia can often be prevented and can usually be treated. Lower your risk of pneumonia with vaccines and other healthy living practices.
Globally, pneumonia kills nearly 1 million children younger than 5 years of age each year. This is greater than the number of deaths from any infectious disease, such as HIV infection, malaria, or tuberculosis.
