keeping time radical history Vancouver (Coast Salish Territory) "The whole of humanity has erupted violently, tumultuously onto the stage of history, taking its own destiny in its hands. Capitalism is under siege, surrounded by a global tide of revolution. And this revolution, still without a center, without a precise form, has its own laws, its own life and depth of unity - accorded it by the same masses who create it, who live it, who inspire each other from across boundaries, give each other spirit and encouragement, and learn from collective experiences." - Adolfo Gilly radical vancouver history vancouver squatter's movement history links keeping_time@ziplip.com

assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaah Christian Calendar and Intercalation Islamic Calendar - History and Motivation Christian Calendar and Intercalation Islamic Calendar - History and Motivation HISTORY OF CALENDARS Allah Ta’ala says, 'It is He Who made the sun a shining object and the moon as a light and measured out its (their) stages, that you might know the number of years and the reckoning. Allah did not create this but in truth. He explains the verses in detail for people who have knowledge.’ Throughout history, different civilizations have devised numerous ways of keeping track of time, and documenting the days as they pass, culminating into various calendar systems. The following article recounts the development of many of these calendars and shows how they are tied to the religious beliefs of the people. Of the variety of calendars in use today, probably the most well known,are the Chinese, Hebrew, Islamic, and Gregorian time keeping systems. While each of these systems is unique in how it is used, they all share a set of common features, even borrowing from each other in ways that are not easily recognized. Like all great efforts that require the dedicated collective work of a group of people, the establishment of a time-keeping system is no trivial matter. It required knowing how to make observations, knowing which observations to make, and knowing how to keep records over a long period of time.

Printer-friendly version of complete topic A calendar can be defined as a systematic way of organising days into weeks, months, years, and millennia. By such ordering we know when the young Egyptian pharoah Tutankhamun died (1323 BCE Lunar calendar Humans have probably always recognised certain cycles in the passage of time. Perhaps the most obvious is that of the moon. At the start of its cycle (‘new moon’) the moon lies directly between the sun and the Earth and its illuminated face cannot be seen from the Earth. As the moon moves in its orbit around the Earth, a crescent of its illuminated face becomes visible. The crescent grows over a period of nights until the entire face can be seen: this is called ‘full moon’. The face then wanes until once more it can’t be seen from Earth. This cycle takes an average 29.530589 days. Most of the early calendars were based on this moon cycle, also known as a 'lunation'. There were all sorts of problems with such calendars, due partly to the fact that the average lunation is not a whole number. If ‘29’ were the number used to mark the lunar month, the calendar would very quickly get out of synchrony with the actual phases of the moon. The first month would be out of synchrony by about half a day and the next month by a full day.

On Keeping Things Up in the Air The art of juggling has challenged amateurs and professionals since ancient times by Marcello Truzzi From Natural History Vol. 88 No. 10, December 1979 Juggling, the continuous tossing and catching of objects in the air, is an excellent example of man's extraordinary capacity for play. Some other animals, such as the seal, have been trained to balance objects, but true juggling seems beyond the abilities of even the other higher primates (despite occasional circus posters that falsely picture chimpanzees juggling). That juggling is unique to man should not be surprising since it involves not only remarkable use of the hands but also complex spatial perception and cognitive skills. The art of juggling has been widely reported among the world's cultures, and some ethnographic descriptions suggest considerable proficiency. John B. Stair, in his 1897 work Old Samoa; or, Flotsam and Jetsam from the Pacific Ocean , related: " O Fuanga consisted in throwing up a number of oranges into the air, six, seven, or eight, and the object was to keep the whole number in motion at once, as the Chinese jugglers do their balls." And in a 1901 study, Burma , Max and Bertha Ferrars wrote: A good player [of chinon , a game] will sent the ball into the air again and again with decreasing force till he allows it to alight in the hollow of his shoulder. Thence he lets it roll down the back of the arm and jerks it off at the elbow to catch it on the knee, and changing his feet like a flash, strikes the ball high from the back, with the opposite sole, for another player to vary the performance in as original a way as he can.

53. History Of Time Keeping timepieces is the history of human progress. For thousands of years, people who hunted and gathered wild food to survive needed only crude ways to keep time. http://www.chaneyinstrument.com/Press Releases/pr10.htm

Press Releases A HISTORY OF TIMEPIECES In a way, the history of timepieces is the history of human progress. For thousands of years, people who hunted and gathered wild food to survive needed only crude ways to keep time. Archeologists have found records of lunar cycles scratched on bones from Ice Age Europe. The pillars of rock at Stonehenge in England determined solstices and other seasonal events. As people began to farm and build cities, they needed somewhat more detailed records of time. Early calendars made by people ranging from the Egyptians to the Mayans of Central America measured months and years. Such calendars made it possible for merchants to establish trade routes, cultures to develop shared religious celebrations and governments to keep records. Five or six thousand years ago, Sumeria in what is now Iraq was the first culture to develop a written language and also the first to develop a clock. Other ancient civilizations came up with ways to mark the hours of the day as they became more complex. The Washington Monument is a monument to the first clocks as well as to the first U.S. president, for obelisks were the first “shadow clocks”—clocks that measured time with lengthening shadows. The more familiar sundial, invented around 1500 B.C. was both more exact and more portable.

Time Keeping and Sundials This page contains answers to questions Mr Sunspot received about time keeping. The questions are: Is the clockwise direction of hands on a clock related to the earth's revolution around the sun? Asked by Sarah Oswald (13) of Marianna, Florida 14 August 1997 How can I make a vertical reclining sundial? Asked by Mariana of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. 30 September 1996 The History of Timekeeping The most ancient way of keeping time during the day is to see where the Sun is in the sky. If you live north of the equator, then the Sun rises toward the east, reaches its highest point in the sky (culminates) due south, and sets toward the west, so it moves along the sky from left to right. Of course, there are no hour markers in the sky, so time you tell from the Sun's position in the sky is only a guess. The second most ancient way of keeping time is to watch the shadow of something like a stick or tree move along the ground. Because the Sun moves from left to right in the sky (to the north of the equator), the shadow rotates in what we now call the clockwise direction. You can put marks on the ground to indicate different hours, and then you have something that looks like a clock. Because the height of the Sun above the horizon changes all the time, the speed of the shadow's rotation varies all the time, both with the time of day and also with the seasons. This means that the "hours" of this clock (as indicated by the marks on the ground) do not keep the same length all the time.

You are here Home About Cone Shells Keeping up with the cones Natural History ; New York; Feb 2002; by Aparna Sreenivasan; Volume: 111 Issue: 1 Start Page: 40-47 ISSN: 00280712 Subject Terms: Mollusks Poisons Evolution Peptides Abstract: The genus Conus includes more than 500 species, whose shells are embellished with a seemingly endless variety of intricate patterns. Cone snails have existed for 55 millions years, and the number of species of the venomous snail has been doubling every 6.1 million years. Full Text: [Headnote] Chased by evolutionary biologists and pharmacological researchers, a tropical mollusk redefines "a snail's pace." In the early 1900s a U.S. marine stationed in the Philippines found a beautiful shell near a coral reef. Thinking it would make a nice gift for his girlfriend back home, he carried it off, placing it on his shoulder to show his friends. As the young man walked toward his buddies, the animal inside the shell extended a needle like organ and stung him on the neck. Within minutes, the marine was dead. The unfortunate American died from the sting of a cone snail, a member of the genus Conus. Collectors and beachcombers have long admired and coveted the snails' beautiful shells, risking a sometimes fatal sting to get them. The genus includes more than 500 species, whose shells are embellished with a seemingly endless variety of intricate patterns: repeating triangles or tiny cobblestone motifs, stripes, bands, spots. The length of the protoconch (the spiral on the wide posterior end of the shell) and the number of whorls differ by species, and the shells range from the size of a grape to that of a pear. To a collector, the allure of a mature, undamaged specimen-called a gem shell, and nearly impossible to find-cannot be underestimated. Despite the risk, people still pick them up.

A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n History Education Begins at Home Children and History As parents we are in the best position to encourage our children's natural interest in history. It is to us they address their first historical questions: " Where did I come from? " and " Was I always here? " These two questions contain the two main meanings of " history ": it is the story of people and events, and it is the record of times past Now is the time to bring out the historical evidence and to share family stories with your child. Birth and adoption certificates, immunization records, first pieces of your child's writing and art, as well as photographs all count as historical sources that tell the story of your child. The stories you tell and read to your children, or make up with them, are part of their cultural heritage and reinforce the two basic parts of history: " Once upon a time, and long ago Parents Make a Difference Your child is born into history. She has no memory of it, yet she finds herself in the middle of a story that began before she became one of its characters. She also wants to have a place in it. As parents we can prepare our children to achieve the lifelong task of finding their place in history by helping them to learn what shaped the world into which they were born. Without information about their history, children don't "get" a lot of what they hear and see around them.
