DST
Jučer smo mjenjali vrijeme. Daylight Savings Time je došlo kraju. Sve dok nisam došla u Ameriku, nikad nisam mogla zapamtiti kad idemo sat unaprijed, a kad sat unatrag.
(Ni dan danas još uvijek ne znam u slučaju kationa i aniona koji su plus, a koji minus… Imam težave s takvim konceptima, kad postoje samo dvije opcije.)
No, uglavnom. Ameri su to meni pametno objasnili.
Spring forward. Fall back.
(Naravno, spring i fall stoje za godišnja doba, ali su ujedno i glagoli.)
Ma ja ne volim to mijenjanje vremena, jer uvijek neki sat ne uspijem prebaciti pa znam imati smiješne situacije…

Ja nikad ne znam jel imam sat više za spavanje ili se moram ranije dići. Mama i ja uvijek raspravljamo. Sad sam se probudila pola sata ranije i mislila da sam zakasnila na posao jer je vani bio dan i skoro pa je sunce sjalo.

Hehe, zabavan koncept, možda ga upamtim. Od viška je reći da ni sad nisam znao kud ide sat D:

To sa pomicanjem sata je grozno. Em se i dalje budim po starom (prerano) em kad idem sa posla vec je mrak. Dobra stvar je sto je danas neradni dan ovdje gdje sam, pa mogu odspavati malo dulje… i ta prilagodba ide na taj nacin. Duze spavati, ali kako, kad ne mozes podesiti odlazak na spavanje? Usput, da li kod vas planiraju to ukinuti kao sto se o tome prica ovdje?

ja sam jedne godine totalno zaboravila na to mjenjanje vremena pa sam na predavanje u nedjelju ujutro na new york university dosla sat ranije i nije mi bilo jasno zasto nema nikoga…
btw, jel’ netko zna otkud nam taj cijeli koncept? naime, ja sam negdje jednom procitala da je to sve bilo hitlerova ideja, ali ne znam je li to stvarno istina.

OK, sama sam sebi nasla odgovor na pitanje. evo sto pise wikipedia:
Origin
DST was first mentioned in 1784 by Benjamin Franklin in a letter to the editors of the Journal of Paris. However, as the satirical article was humorous, it is extremely clear Franklin could not seriously propose that the French adopt it. The mere suggestion that a tax be levied on those who have their shades drawn during daylight hours, or simply that people should get up and go to bed earlier is ludicrous.
It was first seriously proposed by William Willett in the “Waste of Daylight”, published in 1907, but he was unable to get the British government to adopt it, despite considerable lobbying.
The idea of DST was first put into practice by the German government during the First World War, between April 30, 1916 and October 1, 1916. Shortly afterward, the United Kingdom followed suit, first adopting it between May 21 and October 1, 1916. On June 17, 1917 Newfoundland became the first North American jurisdiction to adopt DST with the passing of the Daylight Saving Act of 1917. On March 19, 1918, the U.S. Congress formally established several time zones, which had been in use by railroads and most cities since 1883; at the same time they made DST official, effective March 31, for the remainder of World War I. It was observed for seven months in 1918 and 1919. The law, however, proved so unpopular, mostly because people rose and went to bed earlier than in current times, that it was repealed in 1919, when Congress overrode President Woodrow Wilson’s veto of the repeal.
