	The Times of Our Lives: Investigations into Socio-chronology
		our sense of connection with generations long dead and those yet to be born, including such topics as time capsules, intergenerational contracts and legacies, ancestral worship, and futuristic themes in amusement parks and cinema.
		Time is the container of our social activities, especially in our monotonic culture where we have specific times for doing specific things (as opposed to more polychronic cultures, where many different things are done simultaneously).
		Even though these times of our lives seem to be as "natural" as as any physical object in our social universe, the fact is that most are totally man-made notions.

	Date and Time Formats
		Times are expressed in local time, together with a time zone offset in hours and minutes.
		A time zone offset of "+hh:mm" indicates that the date/time uses a local time zone which is "hh" hours and "mm" minutes ahead of UTC.
		A time zone offset of "-hh:mm" indicates that the date/time uses a local time zone which is "hh" hours and "mm" minutes behind UTC.

		Unqualified Local Time A number of devices currently connected to the Internet run their internal clocks in local time and are unaware of UTC.
		Security Considerations Since the local time zone of a site may be useful for determining a time when systems are less likely to be monitored and might be more susceptible to a security probe, some sites may wish to emit times in UTC only.

		The peoples of the British Empire were at one with those of Germany, of France and of Italy, and their anxiety, their intense desire for peace, pervaded the whole atmosphere of the conference, and I believe that that, and not threats, made possible the concessions that were made.

	Daylight Savings Time - History And Explanation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Although "daylight saving time" was mentioned by Benjamin Franklin in a humorous essay in 1784, the real credit for it has to be given to a little-remembered London builder, William Willett (1865-1915).
		The Uniform Time Act, enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1966, established a system of uniform (within each time zone) daylight saving time throughout the U.S. and its possessions, exempting only those states in which the legislatures voted to keep the entire state on standard time.
		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).

	Info on ISO 8601, the date and time representation standard
		Notice that there is no time zone indication, although dates too are time zone dependent in principle; by default, times are relative to some local time zone.
		Thus the time of the day is given in the range from 00:00:00 to 23:59:59, and the possible leap second 23:59:60.
		NOTE The abbreviated date and time is given as the combination of the date format and the time format of ISO 8601; as opposed to the combined day-and-time format of said standard, which includes a "T" between day and time.

		Europe is applying selective tariffs against the US because our tax laws are too favorable to corporations and that is "unfair." (Yes, I know it is more complicated than that, but that is the essential base of it.) Several of the prominent Democratic presidential candidates were essentially calling for one form of protectionism or another.
		Our politicians (including 25 Republican senators) voted for the bill mentioned above so that they could appear to be doing something to "protect" American jobs because they are pandering to voters.

	In Our Time: Critical Reception (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Published October 5, 1925 by Boni and Liveright, In Our Time is a combination of short stories previously published in Three Stories and Ten Poems (1923), sketches previously published in in our time (1924) and new material.
		Times Book Review praises it for its “precision and economy,” noting that Hemingway “packs a whole character in a phrase, an entire situation in a phrase or two"(10/18/25).
		Repeatedly to Hemingway's dismay, In Our Time is compared to Sherwood Anderson's work, especially between "My Old Man" and Anderson's earlier "I Want to Know Why." Meant to be complimentary, five of the eleven reviews acknowledge some indebtedness to Anderson.

	International standard date and time notation
		A single leap second 23:59:60 is inserted into the UTC time scale every few years as announced by the International Earth Rotation Service in Paris, to keep UTC from wandering away more than 0.9 s from the less constant astronomical time scale UT1, which is defined by the actual rotation of the earth.
		In case an unambiguous representation of time is required, 00:00 is usually the preferred notation for midnight and not 24:00.
		Please consider the 12h time to be a relic from the dark ages when Roman numerals were used, the number zero had not yet been invented and analog clocks were the only known form of displaying a time.

	LEON TROTSKY: 1939 - MARXISM IN OUR TIME (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The commodity has become such an all-pervasive, customary and familiar part of our daily existence that we, lulled to sleep, do not even attempt to consider why men relinquish important objects, needed to sustain life, in exchange for tiny discs of gold or silver that are of no earthly use whatever.
		Nevertheless the basic error of classical economics was its view of capitalism as humanity's normal existence for all time instead of merely as one historical stage in the development of society.
		The life of monopolistic capitalism in our time is a chain of crises.

		But as other women around the room told their stories, they resonated with something deep in Brownmiller's psyche, and when it was time to tell her own--"I've had three illegal abortions"--the ambitious reporter experienced something akin to a road-to-Damascus conversion.
		Imagine a time when there was no such phrase as "sexual harassment" yet its practice went on unchecked, a time when there were no domestic violence shelters for battered women, no rape clinics for victims of sexual violence, a time when the classified ads were divided into columns for "Male" and "Female" jobs...
		Brownmiller through her 1975 classic on rape, I was previously unaware to this time, the extent to which she had been involved in the feminist movement.

	A Few Facts Concerning GMT, UT, and the RGO
		Greenwich Mean Time ------------------- o Greenwich Mean Time is a time scale based on the apparent motion of the "mean" sun with respect to the meridian through the Old Greenwich Observatory (zero degrees longitude).
		The time scale based on the atomic second but corrected every now and again to keep it in approximate sync with the earth's rotation is known as UTC or Coordinated Universal Time.
		Initially, the time scale was derived by offsetting its rate from that of Atomic Time to agree with the average rate of UT2 over the past year and was held fixed at that rate for the following year.

		If you are familiar with my other writing, you know that I never shrink from taking a controversial position.
		IN OUR TIME: Memoir of Revolution is not movement hagiography, nor is it "a balanced history" written by someone with access to library archives but far removed from the actual events.
		I figured there was only one way I could tell the movement's story, and that was to summon the spirit of the times, put my mind on the memory channel, and GO.
