21. The History Of Timekeeping
    The history of time keeping In respect to human history, time keeping isa relatively recent desire – probably 5000 to 6000 years old.  
    http://www.beaglesoft.com/maintimehistory.htm
    
    Extractions: It was most likely initiated in the Middle East and North Africa. A clock is defined as a device that consists of two qualities: A regular, constant or repetitive process or action to mark off equal increments of time . Early examples of such processes included movement of the sun across the sky, candles marked in increments, oil lamps with marked reservoirs, sand glasses ("hourglasses"), and in the Orient, small stone or metal mazes filled with incense that would burn at a certain pace.

    Extractions: While a student in Professor Walser's Jazz class at UCLA, I was one of several students lucky enough to have read every chapter before it made it to press. Every chapter was like a time machine, transporting us back in time to an era where racism and sexism took a toll on some musicians while only strengthening the resolve of others. This book was, at the time, one of the best readings I had done in a long time. In reading direct quotes from the greats of music, you couldn't help but feel a bit inspired. "Keeping in Time" is a gem and should be assigned reading to anyone studying jazz or just wanting to learn more about the many performers who played or sang that one song you liked differently. Professor Walser certainly knows his subject matter well. And in my case, he certainly excelled in the one thing he likes to do: teach.

28. History Of Time Keeping
    Huygens kept refining his timepiece to the point that it kept time to within10 seconds a day—unprecedented accuracy in the history of timekeeping.  
    http://www.chaneyinstrument.com/Press Releases/pr10.htm
    
    Extractions: 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.

Drawing from contemporary journalism, reviews, program notes, memoirs, interviews, and other sources, Keeping Time lets you experience, first hand, the controversies and critical issues that have accompanied jazz from its very birth.

    Extractions: of Science Sponsored by No matter which side you're on in the debate about when the new millennium begins, you'll find the history of the Western calendar fascinating. 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.

    Extractions: Spring forward...Fall back.... It's ingrained in our consciousness almost as much as the A-B-Cs or our spelling reminder of "i before e...." And it's a regular event, though perhaps a bit less regular than the swallows coming back to Capistrano. Yet in those four words is a whole collection of trivia, facts and common sense about Daylight Saving Time. Daylight Saving Time begins for most of the United States at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday of April ( see chart below ). Time reverts to standard time at 2 a.m. on the last Sunday of October. Daylight Saving Time for the U.S. and its territories is NOT observed in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Eastern Time Zone portion of the State of Indiana, and by most of Arizona (with the exception of the Navajo Indian Reservation in Arizona). California has not yet received federal "approval" to move to a "year-round" Daylight Saving Time in 2001-2002. ( See below.

    http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/d.html
    
    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.

"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
