HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED about the origins of Daylight-saving time?

 Daylight-saving time (DST) is the practice of advancing clocks during summer months so that evening daylight lasts longer. In all countries that use daylight saving, the clock is advanced in spring and set back in autumn.

 The idea was first proposed by George Hudson, a British-born entomologist and astronomer, in 1895. The first city in the world to enact Daylight-Saving time was Port Arthur, Ontario, Canada in 1908; the first nation-wide implementation was in 1916 in the German Empire & Austria-Hungary.

 The majority of the world’s population do not observe Daylight-saving time, including Africa and Asia.

 In the U.S.A., which adopted daylight saving in 1918, DST isn’t observed in Arizona or Hawaii.

 As for the rest of us, we “spring forward” into Daylight-Saving Time this year at 2:00 a.m., March 10, 2019.

Graveyard-shift workers, therefore, will actually work only seven hours that day. Check with your employer to see whether you will be paid for a standard eight-hour shift, or for your actual hours worked.
