    Extractions: First there was standard time For millennia, people have measured time based on the position of the sun - it was noon when the sun was highest in the sky. Sundials were used well into the Middle Ages, when mechanical clocks began to appear. Cities would set their town clock by measuring the position of the sun, but every city would be on a slightly different time. The time indicated by the apparent sun on a sun dial is called Apparent Solar Time, or true local time. The time shown by the fictitious sun is called Mean Solar Time, or local mean time when measured in terms of any longitudinal meridian. [For more information about clocks, see A Walk through Time Standard time begins in Britain Standard time in the US Standard time in time zones was instituted in the U.S. and Canada by the railroads on 18 November 1883. Before then, time of day was a local matter, and most cities and towns used some form of local solar time, maintained by some well-known clock (for example, on a church steeple or in a jeweler's window). The new standard time system was not immediately embraced by all, however. (The train at right is a Union locomotive used during the American Civil War, photo ca. 1861-1865.) The first man in the United States to sense the growing need for time standardization was an amateur astronomer, William Lambert, who as early as 1809 presented to Congress a recommendation for the establishment of time meridians in this country. This was not passed. Nor was the initial suggestion of Charles Dowd of Saratoga Springs, N. Y., in 1870. Dowd revised his proposal in 1872 and the revised proposal was adopted virtually unchanged by the railways of the USA and Canada eleven years later.

Glossary Keeping Time The conventions that we use to track the passage of time in a day, week, month, or year are clocks and calendars. People rely heavily on the clock in order to schedule their tasks, and on the calendar to plan their weekly work, meals, and exercise and recreation times. Months help people understand the passage of longer periods of time and tell us what season it is. For future Martian explorers and settlers, a year will mean something different than a year does to us on Earth. How explorers keep time on the planet Mars will be an important factor in structuring days, work assignments, free time, and communication with Earth.

Time-keeping has evolved in many aspects over the years ranging from the use of the sun and water to satellites and digital. In respect to human history, time keeping is a relatively recent desire – probably 5000 to 6000 years old. It was most likely initiated in the Middle East and North Africa. This Webquest will cover the span of time-keeping. Hopefully it will demonstrate to you the student the growth and development that time-keeping has done over thousands of years.

    Extractions: Photo by Michele Asselin I t's Friday the 13th and Paramount has lent the Writers Guild of America East its screening room to host The Hours, "It took me two weeks to write the opening sequence," he says, "but once I had it, it really didn't change." "Do you always know the beginning?" he's asked. "Well, that's everything, isn't it?" Thirty-six hours later I am greeted by Hare's wife in their suite at the Lowell Hotel, which feels like a little bit of London in the East '60s. Hare has been doing press interviews back-to-back, and when he hangs up the phone, his energy is manic. The 55-year-old British dramatist carries a self-possession that fits a stage actoras indeed he was last year in his solo play on the Arab-Israeli crisis, Via Dolorosa (directed initially by The Hours ' Stephen Daldry). His plays, any number of which often find themselves running in tandem in both New York and London, confront head-on the institutions that form societies (though mostly British), while recognizing the inseparability of the personal and political realms: The Secret Rapture, Skylight, The Judas Kiss

    Extractions: Perhaps time is eternal and infinite. Perhaps time is just God's way of stopping everything from happening at once. Although we look at such philosophical and theological questions when we study cosmology (theories of the origin and fate of the Universe), in this article I set out to give no more than a brief summary of the practical side of time; how it is used and how it is measured. Contents The Day and the Hour The Week The Month The Year ... References The Sun's rising and setting gives rise to day and night, two of the most powerful natural features of the world we live in. The length of the day is traditionally measured from sunrise to sunrise (although astronomers measure it from noon to noon). The passage of the day is marked by the sun crossing the sky, and the passage of the night by the circum-polar stars turning in the sky like the hands of a clock. For most people living prior to the Industrial Age a machine for measuring time was unnecessary. "I will meet you when the sun is

    http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/04095/294779.stm
    
    Extractions: Today is unique, and not only because it happens to be the start of daylight-saving time. It is April 4, 2004, at least in those places that follow the standard Gregorian 12-month calendar notation and time-keeping, which is virtually everywhere. A number of other calendars are observed around the world. For example, A.D. 2004 is 5765 in the Jewish calendar and 1425 in the Islamic calendar, but in communications outside those countries, the Gregorian calendar is the common record. When it comes to digital notation of time, however, 4/4/4 (or 04/04/04 if you include the zeros) is one of only a dozen dates each century that cannot be confused, no matter where you might be. On all other dates, when the digits used to designate the month and day are not the same, there's potential for major misunderstandings. While you might expect that, with minuscule variations, the passage of time is constant around the planet, not so for its notation. Experienced international travelers know that in many countries, when the date is notated either in script or in digits, the day of the month precedes the month and the year, rather than having the month first as is done in the United States.

    Extractions: Archaeologists are racing against time and the elements to save an early Christian church on the Turkish Black Sea coast near the town of Sinop from literally falling into the sea. The church is causing a stir because of its unusually large size and the intricacy and detail of the magnificent Byzantine mosaics in the aisles and nave which have survived the plundering centuries largely undamaged. Dr Stephen Hill from the University of Warwick, who is leading the team, says the church was probably part of a large Roman estate which grew rich on sea trade. it bears similarities to other churches found in Bulgaria and in the Balkans. This is the first early building complex to be excavated on the Turkish coast,, said Dr Hill. `It looks as if the cultural links of the area were with the Black Sea region rather than with the land mass of the rest of what is now Turkey. This project is helping us to fill a gap in our knowledge.'

    Extractions: History The Passenger Transport Authority and Passenger Transport Executive were both established by the 1968 Transport Act. The main remit of the Act is for the Authority to "formulate ….. general policies with respect to public passenger transport" and the Executive "carrying out such policies". The 1968 Act gave the Authority/Executive an area that covered Merseyside except Southport and St Helens. The Merseyside Passenger Transport Area (Adoption of Enactments and Instruments) Order 1973 made provision for the existing Executive to become the Passenger Transport Executive for the County of Merseyside. The Authority was dissolved with the vesting of property, rights and liabilities being transferred to Merseyside County Council. At the same time the designated area became the whole of the County of Merseyside. These changes became operative from 1 April 1974. The Local Government Act 1985 established a new Passenger Transport Authority for Merseyside on the abolition of Merseyside County Council. The transport Act 1985 amended the functions to take into account bus deregulation and the privatisation of bus operations. The designated area remained the County of Merseyside.

    Extractions: In 1922 Sir Archibald Salvidge tabled a motion in the Liverpool City Council to enquire into and report on the feasibility of either a tunnel or bridge to improve traffic facilities across the Mersey. The Engineers' report emphatically supported a tunnel. They pointed out that a high level bridge, whilst adding to the appearance of the port and river, in the event of war would prove a susceptible target and if subject to a direct hit could lead to the closure of the Port of Liverpool. A bridge would be impossible to safeguard. Furthermore, the cost of continuous painting and the maintenance repairs to the bridge and its furniture would be astronomical. It was reported that a double-deck road tunnel would cost less to construct and offer considerable economy in maintenance. On 8 August 1925, Royal Assent was given to a Private Bill authorising the project, and the setting up of the Mersey Tunnel Joint Committee. On 16 December 1925 HRH the Princess Royal switched on the power to the pneumatic drills and formally inaugurated an undertaking without parallel in engineering history.
