507 |
# <http://www.sumatera-inc.com/go_to_invest/about_indonesia.asp#standtime>
|
|
|
508 |
# says that Indonesia's time zones changed on 1988-01-01. Looking at some

# Here is another correction to Shanks & Pottenger.
|

514 |
# JohnTWB writes that Japanese forces did not surrender control in
|
|
|
515 |
# Indonesia until 1945-09-01 00:00 at the earliest (in Jakarta) and
|
|
|
516 |
# other formal surrender ceremonies were September 9, 11, and 13, plus
|
|
|
517 |
# September 12 for the regional surrender to Mountbatten in Singapore.
|

518 |
# These would be the earliest possible times for a change.

# 2157-03-20 08:37:15.5 UT. But the Gregorian year 2025 should give

|
694 |
# An article in this week's Economist ("Inside the Saddam-free zone", p. 50 in
|
|
|
695 |
# the U.S. edition) on the Iraqi Kurds contains a paragraph:
|
|
|
696 |
# "The three northern provinces ... switched their clocks this spring and
|
|
|
697 |
# are an hour ahead of Baghdad."
|
|
|
698 |
#
|

|
699 |
# But Rives McDow (2000-06-18) quotes a contact in Iraqi-Kurdistan as follows:
|
|
|
700 |
# In the past, some Kurdish nationalists, as a protest to the Iraqi
|
|
|
701 |
# Government, did not adhere to daylight saving time. They referred
|
|
|
702 |
# to daylight saving as Saddam time. But, as of today, the time zone
|
|
|
703 |
# in Iraqi-Kurdistan is on standard time with Baghdad, Iraq.
|
|
|

# From Ephraim Silverberg (2001-01-11):
|
|
|
746 |
#
|
|
|
747 |
# I coined "IST/IDT" circa 1988. Until then there were three
|
|
|
748 |
# different abbreviations in use:
|
|
|
749 |
#
|
|
|
750 |
# JST Jerusalem Standard Time [Danny Braniss, Hebrew University]
|
|
|
751 |
# IZT Israel Zonal (sic) Time [Prof. Haim Papo, Technion]
|
|
|
752 |
# EEST Eastern Europe Standard Time [used by almost everyone else]
|
|
|
753 |
#
|
|
|
754 |
# Since timezones should be called by country and not capital cities,
|
|
|
755 |
# I ruled out JST. As Israel is in Asia Minor and not Eastern Europe,
|
|
|
756 |
# EEST was equally unacceptable. Since "zonal" was not compatible with
|
|
|
757 |
# any other timezone abbreviation, I felt that 'IST' was the way to go
|
|
|
758 |
# and, indeed, it has received almost universal acceptance in timezone
|
|
|
759 |
# settings in Israeli computers.
|
|
|
760 |
#
|
|
|
761 |
# In any case, I am happy to share timezone abbreviations with India,
|
|
|
762 |
# high on my favorite-country list (and not only because my wife's
|
|
|
763 |
# family is from India).

# From Ephraim Silverberg

809 |
# (1997-03-04, 1998-03-16, 1998-12-28, 2000-01-17, 2000-07-25, 2004-12-22,
|
|
|
810 |
# and 2005-02-17):
|
|
|
811 |
|
|
|
812 |
# According to the Office of the Secretary General of the Ministry of
|
|
|
813 |
# Interior, there is NO set rule for Daylight-Savings/Standard time changes.
|
|
|
814 |
# One thing is entrenched in law, however: that there must be at least 150
|
|
|
815 |
# days of daylight savings time annually. From 1993-1998, the change to
|
|
|
816 |
# daylight savings time was on a Friday morning from midnight IST to
|
|
|
817 |
# 1 a.m IDT; up until 1998, the change back to standard time was on a
|
|
|
818 |
# Saturday night from midnight daylight savings time to 11 p.m. standard
|
|
|
819 |
# time. 1996 is an exception to this rule where the change back to standard
|
|
|
820 |
# time took place on Sunday night instead of Saturday night to avoid
|
|
|
821 |
# conflicts with the Jewish New Year. In 1999, the change to
|
|
|
822 |
# daylight savings time was still on a Friday morning but from
|
|
|
823 |
# 2 a.m. IST to 3 a.m. IDT; furthermore, the change back to standard time
|
|
|
824 |
# was also on a Friday morning from 2 a.m. IDT to 1 a.m. IST for
|
|
|
825 |
# 1999 only. In the year 2000, the change to daylight savings time was
|
|
|
826 |
# similar to 1999, but although the change back will be on a Friday, it
|
|
|
827 |
# will take place from 1 a.m. IDT to midnight IST. Starting in 2001, all
|
|
|
828 |
# changes to/from will take place at 1 a.m. old time, but now there is no
|
|
|
829 |
# rule as to what day of the week it will take place in as the start date
|
|
|
830 |
# (except in 2003) is the night after the Passover Seder (i.e. the eve
|
|
|
831 |
# of the 16th of Nisan in the lunar Hebrew calendar) and the end date
|
|
|
832 |
# (except in 2002) is three nights before Yom Kippur [Day of Atonement]

# In the ordinance No. 167 (1895), "standard time" was renamed to "central

1030 |
# time" was abolished in the ordinance No. 529 (1937). In the ordinance No.

# From Amos Shapir (1998-02-15):
|
|
|
1595 |
#
|
|
|
1596 |
# From 1917 until 1948-05-15, all of Palestine, including the parts now
|
|
|
1597 |
# known as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, was under British rule.
|
|
|
1598 |
# Therefore the rules given for Israel for that period, apply there too...
|
|
|
1599 |
#
|
|
|
1600 |
# The Gaza Strip was under Egyptian rule between 1948-05-15 until 1967-06-05
|
|
|
1601 |
# (except a short occupation by Israel from 1956-11 till 1957-03, but no
|
|
|
1602 |
# time zone was affected then). It was never formally annexed to Egypt,
|
|
|
1603 |
# though.
|
|
|
1604 |
#
|
|
|
1605 |
# The rest of Palestine was under Jordanian rule at that time, formally
|
|
|
1606 |
# annexed in 1950 as the West Bank (and the word "Trans" was dropped from
|
|
|
1607 |
# the country's previous name of "the Hashemite Kingdom of the
|
|
|
1608 |
# Trans-Jordan"). So the rules for Jordan for that time apply. Major
|
|
|
1609 |
# towns in that area are Nablus (Shchem), El-Halil (Hebron), Ramallah, and
|
|
|
1610 |
# East Jerusalem.
|
|
|
1611 |
#
|
|
|
1612 |
# Both areas were occupied by Israel in June 1967, but not annexed (except
|
|
|
1613 |
# for East Jerusalem). They were on Israel time since then; there might
|
|
|
1614 |
# have been a Military Governor's order about time zones, but I'm not aware
|
|
|
1615 |
# of any (such orders may have been issued semi-annually whenever summer
|
|
|
1616 |
# time was in effect, but maybe the legal aspect of time was just neglected).
|
|
|
1617 |
#
|
|
|
1618 |
# The Palestinian Authority was established in 1993, and got hold of most
|
|
|
1619 |
# towns in the West Bank and Gaza by 1995. I know that in order to
|
|
|
1620 |
# demonstrate...independence, they have been switching to
|
|
|
1621 |
# summer time and back on a different schedule than Israel's, but I don't
