	Local mean time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Local mean time is a form of solar time that corrects the variations of local apparent time.
		Local mean time was used from the early nineteenth century, when local solar time or sundial time was last used, until standard time was adopted on various dates in the several countries.
		Standard time means that the same time is used throughout some region — usually, it was either offset from Greenwich Mean Time or was the local mean time of the capital of the region.

	Time zone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A time zone is a region of the Earth that has adopted the same standard time, usually referred to as the local time.
		Time zones are thus a compromise, relaxing the complex geographic dependence while still allowing local time to approximate the mean solar time.
		Time zones were first proposed for the entire world by Canada's Sir Sandford Fleming in 1876 as an appendage to the single 24-hour clock he proposed for the entire world (located at the center of the Earth and not linked to any surface meridian!).

	Calculating local time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		So, while someone in England is having breakfast and watching the sunrise, someone in India is having their midday meal, someone in New Zealand in the South Pacific is watching the sunset, and it is the middle of the night in the Americas.
		The local time for a location can be calculated using the time zone for the location.
		The reference time for time zones was originally called Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), but is now referred to as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

	U.S. Time Zones (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Standard time within each time zone is an integral number of hours offset from a time scale called Universal Time, Coordinated (abbreviated UTC), maintained by a large number of very precise "atomic clocks" at laboratories around the world, including the U.S. Naval Observatory.
		History of Standard Time in the U.S. 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).

	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.
		Yet, it is this political time that most people want their computers to produce when they ask for the date or the time of day, so software will have to comply with the randomness and produce results consistent with political decisions.
		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.

	A Guide To Metric Time: Universal & Local Time
		Universal time, in general, is a standard reference time that is the same everywhere (Relativity not withstanding).
		The current ABT system uses a universal time called, oddly enough, Universal Time (UT), or sometimes Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) since it is basically the local time in Greenwich, England (but not exactly).
		Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is measured using highly accurate atomic clocks and synchronized periodically to UT by the addition or subtraction of seconds.

	Definition--Local Time (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		"Local Time" represents the time of the reader and the local times given on my web site should be no more than about 30 minutes off for most of the people in the world.
		Because of these time zones the rotation of the Earth allows some sky phenomena to occur at essentially the same time (+/- 30 minutes) no matter where you are on the planet.
		Time zones span quite a large distance and there is a reason why I noted above that the times are essentially accurate to within +/- 30 minutes.

	British Summer Time: historical information
		Before the railways, local mean time was the time kept by clocks and used for general purposes in the UK, insofar as people kept time by clocks rather than by the sun.
		Having established a simple, uniform timescale of GMT (the time for Ireland was changed in 1916 to also be GMT), it might be expected that this would have sufficed to establish the legal definition of time until the development of atomic timescales in the 1950s.
		This provided for the time in the Bailiwick of Jersey to be one hour in advance of Greenwich mean time throughout the year (to be known as “Jersey Standard Time”) from 27 October 1968 until 31 October 1971, the time of day being unspecified in both cases.

	What Time is it in Indiana?

	A Guide To Metric Time
		Most proposed day-based decimalized time systems are basically the same in that one tenth of a day is one tenth of a day for all of them.
		This is especially problematic with the metric hour which is almost two and a half times the length of the ABT hour -- a significant period of time for a scheduling mishap.
		The SI second is defined as the period of time that it takes a specific number of cesium isotope radiation emissions to occur such that it is as close to a mean ABT second (1/86400 day) as feasible given the variance of the earth's rotation.

	Time::Local - perldoc.perl.org
		Because of DST changes, there are many time zones where the same local time occurs for two different GMT times on the same day.
		When given an ambiguous local time, the timelocal() function should always return the epoch for the earlier of the two possible GMT times.
		When a DST change causes a locale clock to skip one hour forward, there will be an hour's worth of local times that don't exist.

	Dynamic Drive DHTML Scripts- Local Time script
		You can use it to show visitors your current local time, or the time in New York, Tokyo etc. Now, in order to use this script, the webpage you're adding it to must be either PHP (ie:.php), ASP, or SSI (ie:.shtml) enabled.
		To display the local time of Paris then, simply enter into the script the time differential between Paris and your server time (ie: +120 minutes), and Paris' Time is derived and shown.
		By using the server time instead of each visitor's computer clock as the reference point, this script is more reliable, since you only have to account for a single time being accurate in order for the script to be, and that is your server's time.

		The date and time of earthquake occurrence is expressed in either local time [e.g., Mountain Standard Time (MST), Mountain Daylight Time (MDT)] or in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
		GMT time (sometimes referred to as Coordinated Universal Time or UTC) is the time along the prime meridian through Greenwich, England, and is used as a time standard throughout the world.
		Seismologists routinely convert from local time to GMT for research purposes to avoid potential problems in translating between time zones around the world.

		In this tutorial we will consider our server is located in a different time zone from the one our clients are located at (A London related site is in a server located is USA for example).
		In our example, in London the time is 7:05:26, so the difference between time in london and in server is six hours.
		Finally we will get the code necessary to display the local time by adding 6 hours to server´s time.
