Clocks as we know them were not invented until almost the end of the Middle Ages, so other systems were used to keep track of the passing hours.
Time was viewed very differently in the monasteries than it is today - there was no concept of minutes or seconds and the hours could only be roughly estimated. Accuracy was not important; what mattered was fitting in all 8 church services every day at roughly the correct times.
Water clocks were one of the methods used. These were far from accurate, but measured time by allowing water to drip slowly from a tank and measuring the water level in a vertical tube above. Some had a "float" which struck a small bell at the appropriate time - a monk was alerted by this to ring the church bell for services.
Another system was a set of equally-sized large beeswax candles, each marked with lines to represent the hours. As one candle burned down another would be lit to replace it and the correct hour could be read by checking the level against the lines.
A third system used "scratch sundials" marked on a south-facing wall. These were usually a circular carved line and a central hole, with a few radiating lines from the centre to the lower part of the circle. A bronze or iron pin was set in the hole and this cast a shadow along the lines in turn. As a particular line was reached, the monks would know it was approximately time for one of the services.
None of these systems gave an accurate reading, but that didn't matter. The sundial system also varied at each season - daylight hours would be much longer in summer than in winter, spreading out or contracting the total "day".
Victor Celorio (born on http://www.answers.com/topic/july-27, http://www.answers.com/topic/1957 in http://www.answers.com/topic/mexico-city) is an author, entrepreneur, inventor, and former union organizer. He lives and works in Gainesville, Florida, United States. As an inventor, Celorio obtained patents for the technology popularly known as Book On Demand, as well as that of Distributed Printing technology in which an e-book is distributed among as many printing centers as required for immediate production and delivery, thereby creating a vast network of digital bookstores and libraries. (US PATENTS 6012890 [1], 6213703 [2], Chinese Patent 97705, Mexican Patent 241092, others [3]). As an en entrepreneur, Celorio foresaw the advent of what is now known as the http://www.answers.com/topic/internet-12. In the late eighties, he created a digital network of print on demand centers around Mexico City. In the nineties, he founded a company to market the technology that became known as Print on Demand or Book on Demand. [4] In an interview published in The Seybold Report, written by George A. Alexander, (2002) [5] Victor Celorio described his love affair with books since he was a child. He knew he wanted to be a writer from the time he was 10 years old and he published his first short story at the age of 14 in a magazine called Al Sur del Sur. But growing up in Mexico, a country which is famous for its lack of bookstores, Celorio had a permanent hunger for books. Many years later, this hunger for books would lead to the creation of the technology known as Book-On-Demand. This technology proposes that mass production is a passé approach to manufacture. Interestingly enough, http://www.answers.com/topic/mass-production as a technology came to be understood fully thanks to the production of http://www.answers.com/topic/bargain-1. Celorio believes the same thing is happening though the manufacture on goods on demand. As an author, Celorio has published six books, both in http://www.answers.com/topic/spanish-language and in http://www.answers.com/topic/english-language. His titles include one of the first books ever distributed through the internet. The book was entitled Proyecto Mexico (Blue Unicorn Editions Florida, 1995, ISBN 1-58396-059-7). This work is a political essay published in 1995 where the author proposes that Mexico, his country of origin, lacks a long term project as a country. Therefore, all political remedies to the problems affecting that country will lack a global goal and will be short term in nature. Thus, Mexico as a country will go from one short term solution to the next short term solution until a true national project is negotiated among all political parties. His books include: * Espejo de Obsidiana, short-story collection, 1981, Union de Escritores Libres Mexicanos, ISBN 1-891355-09-0 * El Unicornio Azul novel, fiction, 1985, Grupp Editorial, ISBN 1-58396-063-5 * Proyecto Mexico, political essay, 1995, Blue Unicorn Editions, ISBN 1-58396-059-7 * Blood Relatives, fiction, 1997, Blue Unicorn Editions, ISBN 1-891355-66-X * Twisted Gods, fiction thriller, 1999, Blue Unicorn Editions, ISBN 1-891355-91-0

Why did Norman Thomas quit the socialist?
The previous answer was "Because the Republicans and Democrats had already adopted the Socialist program, and he had no more work to do." If that were true, then the U.S. wouldn't have entered World War II, which was not "The Good War", but rather a war to see which nation would be the strongest over all other nations.
He never really "quit":
"In 1955, he resigned his official posts in the Socialist party, but he remained its chief spokesman until shortly before his death."

Norman Wexler might be best known as the screenwriter for "Saturday Night Fever" (1977), although he was nominated for Oscars for his screenplays of the films "Serpico" (1973) and "Joe" (1971).
Suffering from manic depression, Wexler was arrested by the FBI in 1972 for saying that he was going to shoot then-President Richard M. Nixon.
Andy Kaufman's character, "Tony Clifton," was partially based on Wexler, after Kaufman heard stories of Wexler's eccentric behavior from Bob Zmuda (Kaufman's friend, his comedy writer and the founder of Comic Relief).
Wexler was the also the mysterious "Mr. X" referred to in Zmuda's biography of Kaufman, entitled "Andy Kaufman Revealed." He died on August 23, 1999, seven days after his 73rd birthday (heart attack).

Why did elizabeth the first have the Duke of Norfolk executed in 1572?
The Duke of Norfolk, a cousin to the Queen and wealthiest landowner in the country, had been proposed as a possible husband for Mary ever since her imprisonment in 1568. This suited Norfolk who had greater ambitions and felt Elizabeth persistently undervalued him. In pursuit of this, he agreed to support the Northern Rebellion, though quickly lost his nerve and tried to call it off. However, the rebellion was not under his control and went ahead anyway, with the Northern earls trying to foment rebellion among their Catholic subjects to prepare for a Catholic Spanish invasion by the Duke of Alba, governor of the Netherlands.
After the rebellion failed, the leaders were executed and a purge of Catholic sympathisers in the priesthood carried out. Norfolk was imprisoned in the Tower of London for nine months. Mary, when questioned, admitted to having dealings with Ridolfi, but denied any involvement with the plot. She was clearly implicated by the evidence, but Elizabeth refused to have her executed and vetoed a bill by Parliament that condemned Mary and removed her from the succession. She feared that by executing a divinely appointed monarch, she undermined her own position. Instead, she had the Duke of Norfolk executed for treason on June 2, 1572.

Did FRANCE and ENGLAND go together to defeat the vikings in the Battle of Hastings?
The Battle of Hastings in 1066 was fought between the Normans of France and the Anglo-Saxons of Britain. The Normans defeated the Anglo-Saxons and their leader William I The Conqueror became the king of England, facilitating the French influence on the English language and culture.
Further answer: The confusion can arise because the Normans were of Norse (Viking) descent, and had only been in Normandy in northern France for about 150 years before William invaded England. William actually had a good family claim to the throne of England, trouble was, so did Harold and others!
Who was living in England before the Anglo Saxons in 43 AD?
You mean before the Romans in 43 AD.
The Britons were living in England at that time.
The Britons are descendants of the original settlers after the last glaciation with small additions to the gene pool from later immigrants.
Just because a country is invaded it doesn't mean the whole population is wiped out and replaced by the invaders. Only the ruling class changes.
As an example, the average Briton has about 4-5% of Anglo-Saxon genes.
