	Astronomical Longitude of Paramaribo, The Surveying and Land Information Science - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		This paper explores the notion and proves that the astronomical longitude of Paramaribo published by Roelofs in his book, Astronomy Applied to Land Surveying, is based on Van Stockum's astronomical observations in 1911, corrected for precession and nutation.
		The explanation thus [for AT = 11.628s] is that while Van Stockum had believed that he had determined the GMT of his instant of observation with his method of moon altitudes in combination with sidereal time, he had actually determined Ephemeris Time (ET).
		During Van Stockum's time it was not known that the rotation of the Earth was not uniform and, consequently, the Ephemeris of the moon was given in GMT time instead of ET Van Stockum referenced the longitude of Paramaribo with respect to the Ephemeris meridian instead of the Greenwich meridian.

		Paramaribo has a number of modern hotels with air conditioning, but advance booking is essential owing to the limited number of beds.
		This is a pretty nice place set in the middle of the old town of Paramaribo, near the palm trees and the flower market and not too far from the main drag of restaurants and bars.
		There are two hotels on the outskirts of town, but much closer to the restaurant and disco-bar district (the only one I came across actually in the town anyway), these two are the Torarica and Eco-resort - these hotels are also closer to the outstanding out-of-town restaurant area too.
