  Time signature
For all meters, the first beat (the "downbeat") is stressed; in time signatures with four groups in the bar (such as 4/4 and 12/8), the third beat is also stressed, though to a lesser degree.
At other times, the choice of bottom note can give subtle hints as to the character of the music: for example, time signatures with a longer bass-note (such as 3/2) can be used for pieces in a quick tempo to convey a sense of the time flying by.
While time signatures usually express a regular pattern of beat stresses continuing through a piece (or at least a section), sometimes composer place a different time signature at the beginning of each bar, resulting in music with an extremely irregular rhythmic feel.

 NIST Time and Frequency Transfer using Common-View GPS
If the travel times to the receivers are exactly equal, then the two receivers can synchronize their clocks with an accuracy that does not depend on the characteristics of the transmitter or the transmission medium.
Here the time difference between two clocks, A and B, is determined by simultaneous observation of a third clock on a GPS satellite.
The accuracy of common-view time transfers is typically in the 1 to 10 ns range.

 A Long, Painful History of Time
The basic problem with time is that we need to express both time and place whenever we want to place some event in time and space, yet we tend to assume spatial coordinates even more than we assume temporal coordinates, and in the case of time in ordinary communication, it is simply left out entirely.
Because dates and times are frequently spoken and because the written forms are often modeled after the spoken, we run into the problem of ordering the elements of time and the omission of perceived redundancy becomes a much more serious problem, because each language and each culture have handled these problems so differently.
Time zones therefore double as indicators of geographical location, much to the chagrin of anyone who is not from the same location, because they use names and abbreviations of names with local meaning.

 Time signature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Time signatures indicating two beats per bar (whether simple or compound) are called duple time; those with three beats to the bar are triple time.
These are time signatures which have a denominator which is not a power of two (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc.).
For all meters, the first beat (the downbeat, ignoring any anacrusis) is usually stressed (though not always, for example in reggae where the offbeat are stressed); in time signatures with four groups in the bar (such as 4/4 and 12/8), the third beat is often also stressed, though to a lesser degree.

 KSR5: Peterson - Time Management for Library Professionals   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Time management is an important issue in libraries today especially when increased technological and informational demands are coupled with possible decreases in funding.
The research literature on time management in libraries identifies how librarians spend their time, and activities that are considered 'time wasters.' Most of the research involves questionnaires or time use studies in various settings.
Although librarians have common time problems, these strategies only serve as general guidelines--each librarian is unique and needs to decide which methods will maximize his or her use of time.

 Time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A contrasting view is that time is part of the fundamental intellectual structure (together with space and number) within which we sequence events, quantify the duration of events and the intervals between them, and compare the motions of objects.
Time is also a matter of significant social importance, having economic value ("time is money") as well as personal value, due to an awareness of the limited time in each day and in human lifespans.
Time travel is the concept of moving backward or forward to different points in time, in a manner analogous to moving through space.

 Dolmetsch Online - Music Theory Online - Time Signatures
common time widely used in classical music; the usual time signature in rock, jazz, country, and bluegrass, and most modern pop or dance music.
Time signatures compounded from smaller units, for example 4/4 next to 3/4, appear in music where the bars alternate, in this case with four and three crotchets in alternate bars.
However, if the composer wants to change the time signature during the piece, this takes place at the beginning of the bar where the change is required, and the change remains in force until the end of the piece or until a further change is made.
