	Metric time - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation Metric time (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Metric time is the measure of time interval using the metric system, which defines the second as the base unit of time, and multiple and submultiple units formed with metric prefixes, such as kiloseconds and milliseconds.
		When the metric system was introduced in France in 1795, it included units for length, area, dry volume, liquid capacity, weight or mass, and even currency, but not for time.
		French decimal time is sometimes called "metric time" because it was introduced around the same time as the metric system and both were decimal, but it was not part of the decree creating the original metric system and its units were named for the hour, minute and second, instead of using metric prefixes.

	Genealogy of the MacLochlainn Families of Inishowen
		In the twelfth century body of onomastic tradition known as dindshenchas ('place-lore') the structure is said to have been built upon a burial site in the time of an ancient people known as the Tuatha Dé Danann who were possessed of magical powers [1].
		According to the twelfth century dindshenchas Frigriu was one of the builders of the structure, though in the way of such tradition this is likely a fanciful rationalisation of a meaning that had long become obscure.
		The structure would seem to have remained in a semi-ruined condition until the nineteenth century when its upper reaches were rebuilt from fallen masonry and it is now in the care of the Irish state.
