463# 464# From Jonathan Lennox <lennox@cs.columbia.edu> (2000-06-12): 465# An article in this week's Economist ("Inside the Saddam-free zone", p. 50 in 466# the U.S. edition) on the Iraqi Kurds contains a paragraph: 467# "The three northern provinces ... switched their clocks this spring and 468# are an hour ahead of Baghdad." 469# 470# But Rives McDow (2000-06-18) quotes a contact in Iraqi-Kurdistan as follows: 471# In the past, some Kurdish nationalists, as a protest to the Iraqi 472# Government, did not adhere to daylight saving time. They referred 473# to daylight saving as Saddam time. But, as of today, the time zone 474# in Iraqi-Kurdistan is on standard time with Baghdad, Iraq. 475# 476# So we'll ignore the Economist's claim. 477 |

549 550# According to the Office of the Secretary General of the Ministry of 551# Interior, there is NO set rule for Daylight-Savings/Standard time changes. 552# One thing is entrenched in law, however: that there must be at least 150 553# days of daylight savings time annually. From 1993-1998, the change to 554# daylight savings time was on a Friday morning from midnight IST to 555# 1 a.m IDT; up until 1998, the change back to standard time was on a 556# Saturday night from midnight daylight savings time to 11 p.m. standard 557# time. 1996 is an exception to this rule where the change back to standard 558# time took place on Sunday night instead of Saturday night to avoid |
559# conflicts with the Jewish New Year. In 1999, the change to 560# daylight savings time was still on a Friday morning but from |
561# 2 a.m. IST to 3 a.m. IDT; furthermore, the change back to standard time |
562# was also on a Friday morning from 2 a.m. IDT to 1 a.m. IST for 563# 1999 only. In the year 2000, the change to daylight savings time was 564# similar to 1999, but although the change back will be on a Friday, it 565# will take place from 1 a.m. IDT to midnight IST. Starting in 2001, all 566# changes to/from will take place at 1 a.m. old time, but now there is no 567# rule as to what day of the week it will take place in as the start date 568# (except in 2003) is the night after the Passover Seder (i.e. the eve 569# of the 16th of Nisan in the lunar Hebrew calendar) and the end date 570# (except in 2002) is three nights before Yom Kippur [Day of Atonement] 571# (the eve of the 7th of Tishrei in the lunar Hebrew calendar). |
