Daylight Saving Time

A man, born just after 12:00 a.m. DST, was able to circumvent the Vietnam War draft by using a daylight saving time loophole. When drafted, he argued that standard time, not DST, was the official time for recording births in his state of Delaware in the year of his birth. Thus, under official standard time he was actually born on the previous day—and that day had a much higher draft lottery number, allowing him to avoid the draft.

Having more hours of daylight is supposed to reduce the number of hours lights are turned on each evening, but that saves no energy. It only wastes energy because Daylight Saving Time does not bring more daylight. People have to wake up to a darker sky and fiddle with electricity if they cannot see.actually daylight saving time was started during a war so there could be more light to battle in

You are right in that it brings no more daylight. The "a war" was actually World War Two. Britain introduced what in fact we now call British Summer Time to help farmers particularly by making better use of the available daylight, but the belief grew that it made it harder for the Luftwaffe to bomb British cities. It didn't of course because the numbers of hours of light and dark do not change, only our clock reference with respect to longitude-determined solar noon. The bombers needed only to re-schedule their raids. Similarly with land and sea action - the effect of day or night on fighting was down to lengths of either, NOT to clock time.

Its only practical use is in moving the working day so we can use the evenings more effectively, but it comes with a cost especially the further North you live. Each time the clock is moved forwards or backwards, our bodies' internal natural clocks are temporarily put out of sync with the daylight they need for normal calibration, and the clock changes are marked by a short spike in traffic and other accidents, and in heart attacks and strokes. Effectively we all suffer from something akin to "jet lag". Night-shift workers are similarly but more seriously affected.

A peculiar myth common in Britain is that each change from GMT to BST or back gains or loses an hour in bed. It doesn't really, unless perhaps you change the clocks before going to bed, then set the alarm. If you let your body decide correctly, it will sleep and wake nocturnally and as and when physiology decides, but most of us now live to very artificial day/night arhythms that taken to sleep-deprivation extremes (common particularly among young people fixated on the Internet) are bad for us! The change is always set officially at 2am on a Sunday morning to cause the least disruption, but it's up to individuals to decide when they change their own time-pieces.

The 2007 changes in Daylight Saving Time are estimated to cost Americans around $434 million due to increased energy consumption and potential disruptions in transportation schedules, communication systems, and information technology.

Fire safety officials encourage people to use the two annual clock shifts as a reminder to check the batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. This is especially important in fall, just before the heating,candle, and fireplace season causes an increase in home fires.

The change to Daylight Saving Time should not cause any problems with your computer, although if you don't have your settings set to adjust for DST, you will have to manually reset the time. You can set your computer to automatically adjust to DST by double-clicking on the time in the lower right-hand corner of your screen, selecting "Time Zone" and checking "automatically adjust clock...." in the window that appears.

The law is the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Some believe they should have left well enough alone because this has caused many more problems than they anticipated. Example: Some machines such as MRIs, etc., have to be regulated and this will cause a few days lost which is extremely important to the ever-growing waiting list for patients. Others believe it is a good change because the amount of energy saved by the change is a suprisingly significant amount. If the environment and reducing our dependance on foreign oil is important to you than this change may be worth the initial headaches.

the clock on my 1996 Dodge Intrepid has an H and M on the right top. Use a pen or paperclip after turning the key until the power comes on, but before ignition. H changes hours and M changes minutes.

In my 1995 Metro there is no clock, other than the one that is in the stereo. If the stereo is bad, just replace it. You will need a new stereo, a wiring harness if you don't want to hack up the old factory harness, and a install kit to make the stereo fit in the hole if the old stereo is factory. Then just follow instructions included with these parts.

no you can't.

but in the future you can. we already have the knowledge that if you go faster than the speed of light than you will go back in time. Better get those old rockets out of the garage!

Everyone should have a manual for their vehicle, and the library should have a professional shop manual available, for FREE, in the reference section(make copies of the correct sections) read up and fix it like a PRO! :) good luck-Dave

The length of time a discharged 7 or 13 bankruptcy can remain on a credit report has always been 10 years. A dismissed chapter 13 remains for 7 years a dismissed chapter 7 remains for 10 years. Therefore, no type of clause applies because the requirement has never changed. Bankruptcy laws and credit reporting laws are two entirely different issues.

With the car turned off, hold down the RCL button.

While holding down the RCL button use either the AUTO/TONE or TUNE/SEEK button to change the time depending on the model of your radio. The left side will change the hours... the right will change the minutes.

All "check" lights come on briefly when starting your engine. This is to make sure the light is working if soemthing does malfunction on your vehicle. If the light comes on while driving you may have broken or loose belts.

Defective clock or it is wired incorrectly. Should be wired to have power when ignition is turned off. it sounds to me that the constant live has been lost to the clock, there are three wires to a vehicle clock, an earth, an ignition live and a constant live

replace seat switch Most of the time its the little worm gear that went bad not the switch (the gear is slipping on the fixed bracket) I pushed back on the seat real hard and hit the switch and Mine went back finally, the track/motor assembly will have to be replaced(250 from Ford) Very Common problem

When your car is off, press both the hour and minute buttons at the same time. Hold them until the clock switches from 24 hour to 12 hour. By doing this with the engine off, you keep the temperature reading in Fahrenheit.

To set the clock on a '94 Chevy Lumina, you typically need to press and hold the "clock" button on the radio until the time display starts blinking. Then, use the "seek" or "tune" buttons to adjust the hours and minutes. Once you have set the correct time, press the "clock" button again to lock it in place.

No, they are not quite the same thing.

The dawn is when the sky begins to lighten, sunrise is when the Sun "peeks" over the horizon.

Dawn is the beginning of twilight before sunrise.

Sunrise is defined as when the first part of the Sun's disc appears.

To calculate the average hours of daylight in a given city, you would typically take the total hours of daylight for each day over a specific time period (like a month or a year) and then divide by the number of days in that period. This would give you the average hours of daylight for that time frame in that city.
