Autumn (also known as Fall in North American English) is one of the four temperate seasons. [1]

Autumn is the season after summer and before winter. [2]

Before the 16th century, harvest was the term usually used to refer to the season, as it is common in other West Germanic languages to this day (cf. [3]

In the Southern Hemisphere, it runs from the autumnal equinox (20 March) to the winter solstice (21 June). [2]

In the northern hemisphere, the start of autumn is generally considered to be around September, and in the southern hemisphere, its beginning is considered to be around March. [...] However as more people gradually moved from working the land to living in towns (especially those who could read and write, the only people whose use of language we now know), the word harvest lost its reference to the time of year and came to refer only to the actual activity of reaping, and fall and autumn began to replace it as a reference to the season. [1]

In the Northern Hemisphere it is from the September equinox to the December solstice; in the Southern Hemisphere it is from the March equinox to the June solstice. [4]

In the Northern Hemisphere, it begins with the autumnal equinox (22 September) and ends with the winter solstice (21 December). [2]

Autumn marks the transition from summer into winter usually in September (Northern Hemisphere) or March (Southern Hemisphere) when the arrival of night becomes noticeably earlier. [3]

The exact derivation is unclear, the Old English fi?ll or feallan and the Old Norse fall all being possible candidates. [5]

The term came to denote the season in 16th century England, a contraction of Middle English expressions like “fall of the leaf” and “fall of the year”. [...] During the 17th century, English emigration to the British colonies in North America was at its peak, and the new settlers took the English language with them. [...] Autumn is one of the four temperate seasons. [3]

There’s also the many North American Indian festivals tied to harvest of autumnally ripe foods gathered in the wild, the Chinese Mid-Autumn or Moon festival, and many others. [...] Still extant echoes of these celebrations are found in the mid-autumn Thanksgiving holiday of the United States, and the Jewish Sukkot holiday with its roots as a full moon harvest festival of “tabernacles” (huts wherein the harvest was processed and which later gained religious significance).

The nineteenth instalment of The Amazing Race commeneces, with all new teams vying for the one million dollar cash prize. [1]

Bad taxi luck struck again on The Amazing Race - this time eliminating Andie DeKroon, 43, and the daughter she put up for adoption and is getting to know, Jenna Sykes. [...] CBS is gearing up for another Amazing Race around the world: The network has ordered the 20th installment of the reality competition series. [2]

The Amazing Race 13: This season of The Amazing Race came to CBS on September 28, 2008 and ended on December 7. [1]

From the beaches of Rio to a trailer park in the Florida Keys, sisters Kisha & Jen overcame past demons and tough competition to settle their unfinished business and win The Amazing Race. [3]

It aired on CBS in the United States on a special 90-minute episode; and then it returned to its normal hour-long format the following week on Sunday nights at 8:00 p.m. [4]

Contestants strive to arrive first at “pit stops ” at the end of each leg of the race to win prizes and to avoid coming in last, which carries the possibility of elimination or a significant disadvantage in the following leg. [5]

Congratulations to Nat & Kat, winners of this season of the race! [1]

It’s fair to say there has been a mixed reaction to CBS’ announcement that Big Brother 13 would feature the return of “dynamic duos” from the show’s past. [2]

This item would allow the team to skip any Detour, Roadblock, or Route Marker task before Leg 8. [4]

Hosted by Phil Keoghan, the seven-time Emmy-winning show sends teams of two around the globe competing in tasks with one victorious duo winning $1 million. [2]

Note this table does not necessarily reflect all content broadcast on television due to inclusion or exclusion of some data. [4]

Most Route Markers are attached to the boxes that contain clue envelopes, but some may mark the place where the teams must go in order to complete tasks, or may be used to line a course that the teams must follow. [5]

The race visited two new countries, Ghana and Bangladesh, and introduced two new twists — the Express Pass, which could be used to bypass a single task on a leg (used only up to the eighth leg), and the Double U-Turn, which involved two teams forcing two different teams to turn back and complete both Detours. [1]

Rob and Alex attempt to eat four pounds (1.8 kg) of meat at an Argentine barbecue during a Roadblock on Leg 3 of Season 7. [5]

Leadoff-hitting center fielder Gary Brown, the Giants’ first-round draft choice in 2010, has dominated the California League this season, but he won’t get a shot at the majors. [5]
