Culture Class: Daylight Savings Time


In Europe, the 31st of October 2010, meant the end of Daylight Savings Time. This means that all clocks are set back by an hour. If you are not from Europe, the concept is rather confusing and can cause one to either run around an hour too early or an hour too late.

Winter is approaching and in Europe that means it gets darker earlier. The main purpose of Daylight Savings Time is, as its name explains, to maximise on the hours of light.

So on that note, be aware that the time has changed and make sure you are where you need to be at the right hour, and not lost on some non-existent time plain.
