	PST: Pacific Standard Time (USA & Canada). What's the time now?
		Pacific Time Zone runs down the Pacific Coast of Canada and the United States of America.
		It is sometimes referred to as Pacific Coast Time or West Coast Time.
		Pacific Standard Time (PST) is 8 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT-8).

	U.S. Time Zones (Site not responding. Last check: )
		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.
		Standard time in time zones was not established in U.S. law until the Act of March 19, 1918, sometimes called the Standard Time Act.

		Standard time is defined to be the same everywhere within a zone--a sharp difference of one hour exists when one moves to the next zone but minutes and seconds remain the same.
		The boundary between the Pacific and Yukon time zones is at 127.5°W. It is accentuated in the diagram because it lies directly in the middle of the U.S. time zones.
		The westernmost time zone, centered on 180°, and extending from 172.5°W to 172.5°E, is numbered +12 and -12 because it is the twelfth zone east and west of Greenwich.

	Time Zone Resource in OWL
		We have been referring to time zones, but in fact it is more convenient to work in terms of what we might call the "time standard" that is used in a time zone.
		For each time standard, there is a zone, or geographical region, and a time of the year in which it is used for describing local times.
		We have developed a time zone resource [5] in OWL for not only the US but also the entire world, including three parts: the time zone ontology file [6], the US time zone instance file [7], and the world time zone instance file [8].

		Daylight Saving Time is not observed in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and by most of Arizona (with the exception of the Navajo Indian Reservation).
		Alaska (AK) 90% of Alaska is (1 hour) behind the Pacific Time Zone, while the far reaches of the Aleutian Islands use Hawaii-Aleutian time.
		Important (current time) Exceptions: Parts of Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee and Texas are in two time zones.

	Time Measurement, Time Zones, and the International Date Line — Infoplease.com
		The standard time of each zone is the mean astronomical time of one of 24 meridians, 15 degrees apart, beginning at the Greenwich, England, meridian and extending east and west around the globe to the International Date Line.
		For example, Alaska, for a time, consisted of four of the eight U.S. time zones: the Pacific standard time zone (east of Juneau) and the 6th (Juneau), 7th (Anchorage), and 8th (Nome) zones, encompassing the 135°, 150°, and 165° meridians, respectively.
		While the time zones are based on the natural event of the Sun crossing a meridian, the date must be an arbitrary decision.

	Time
		The precise time is determined by what time zone you live in.
		Due to the fact that the earth rotates and different view of the same location face the sun, the time is different depending at which point the earth is facing as it rotates, with western time zones having later times than eastern.
		If it is nine o'clock in New York (Eastern Standard Time), it would be six o'clock or three hours earlier in Los Angeles, which is in the Pacific Standard Time zone.

	Universal Time
		Times given in UT are almost always given in terms of a 24-hour clock.
		Times which may be labeled "Universal Time" or "UT" in data provided by the Astronomical Applications Department of the U.S. Naval Observatory (for example, in the annual almanacs) conform to this definition.
		UTC is the basis for civil standard time in the U.S. and its territories.

	ICU 3.7.1: TimeZone Class Reference
		A time zone offset; that, is the number of milliseconds to add or subtract from a time expressed in terms of GMT to convert it to the same time in that time zone (without taking daylight savings time into account).
		Unless the default time zone has already been set using adoptDefault() or setDefault(), the default is determined by querying the system using methods in TPlatformUtilities.
		For the time zones produced by createTimeZone(), the reference data is specified according to the Gregorian calendar, and the date and time fields are local standard time.

		At this time also, the date can be read by noting the position of the shadow relative to the dots on the analemma, each of which corresponds to a date as shown on the diagram.
		We in Seattle and all others in the Pacific Standard Time zone keep a clock time based on the solar time at the arbitrary longitude of 120 deg W, which happens to pass through the town of Chelan.
		This variation is caused by the small noncircularity of the earth's orbit around the sun (in January we are 3% closer to the sun than in July), and by the 23.4 degree tilt of the earth's rotation axis.

	Pacific Swimming Time Standards
		The 2007 Pacific senior time standards are unchanged from those in effect as of November 2006.
		For meets that require that entry times be proved (such as JOs, Far Westerns, and certain meets in the senior program), meet entry time standards will generally be provided in both short course and long course, and you may enter a qualifying time achieved in either course.
		However, it is important to note that Pacific's Rules and Regulations still specify that when you have achieved a specific class level (for example, B or A) in an event in one course, you are considered to be qualified at that same level in all courses.

	questions and answers
		A: UT (Universal Time) is the standard time on the prime meridian.
		If you use this definition to tabulate the times, and then compare those to an almanac you will probably notice (depending on the almanac definition) that the almanac times are 12 late and then 12 early, swinging back and forth in cycles of about 12 months.
		First you must imagine that the moon is the sun and then guess what time of day it is. If you have a sun dial, you can read the supposed time of day from the moonlight shadow just like you would for a sunlight shadow, but this is (of course) not the actual time.

		Instead of the unit 10, multiple units of the second are based on the number 60 and are from the Babylonians.
		The standard unit, the second, is divided by 10 into.1 (tenths) of a second,.01 (hundredths) of a second, and.001 (thousandths)of a second (also called a milisecond.)
		The earth is divided into 24 time zones, each of which is centered on a meridian line.

	Lecture: Time and the Geographic Grid, Dr. Rodrigue
		The idea behind standard time is that everyone in a standard time zone agrees to keep the WRONG time but the SAME time for safety and convenience.
		Standard Time is wonderful: It promotes safety and convenience by getting everyone in a region to agree to keep the wrong time but the same time.
		Also, if a state includes more than one time zone, its legislature is free to allow the part in one time zone not to participate, while voting that the other part has to participate.

	How Outlook handles time zones for meeting requests
		Outlook calculates Greenwich mean time by using the computer's clock time, plus or minus the local time zone adjustment, minus (depending upon the time of year) the daylight-saving time adjustment.
		Assume someone in the central standard time zone during the summer months (when daylight-saving time is in effect), wishes to schedule a meeting at 3:00 P.M. (their local time), with a user in the Pacific time zone.
		When the attendee receives the meeting request, Outlook calculates the current local time by using the message's Greenwich mean time stamp, plus or minus the local time zone adjustment, plus (depending upon the time of year) the daylight-saving time adjustment.

	A Matter of Time
		Standard Time - For purposes of navigation and astronomy, it is useful to have a single time for the entire Earth.
		This time is called the Universal Time (UT) and is measured using an advanced atomic clock in Greenwich, England.
		Standard Time adjusts the time from Universal Time at the meridian to your local time by using regions called time zones.
