| 1016 1017# Don Mundell writes in the 1997-02-20 Tonga Chronicle 1018# <a href="http://www.tongatapu.net.to/tonga/homeland/timebegins.htm"> 1019# How Tonga became `The Land where Time Begins' 1020# </a>: 1021 1022# Until 1941 Tonga maintained a standard time 50 minutes ahead of NZST 1023# 12 hours and 20 minutes ahead of GMT. When New Zealand adjusted its 1024# standard time in 1940s, Tonga had the choice of subtracting from its 1025# local time to come on the same standard time as New Zealand or of 1026# advancing its time to maintain the differential of 13 degrees 1027# (approximately 50 minutes ahead of New Zealand time). 1028# 1029# Because His Majesty King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV, then Crown Prince 1030# Tungi, preferred to ensure Tonga's title as the land where time 1031# begins, the Legislative Assembly approved the latter change. 1032# 1033# But some of the older, more conservative members from the outer 1034# islands objected. "If at midnight on Dec. 31, we move ahead 40 1035# minutes, as your Royal Highness wishes, what becomes of the 40 1036# minutes we have lost?" 1037# 1038# The Crown Prince, presented an unanswerable argument: "Remember that 1039# on the World Day of Prayer, you would be the first people on Earth 1040# to say your prayers in the morning." 1041 1042# From Paul Eggert (1999-08-12): 1043# Shanks says the transition was on 1968-10-01; go with Mundell. 1044 1045# From Eric Ulevik (1999-05-03): 1046# Tonga's director of tourism, who is also secretary of the National Millenium 1047# Committee, has a plan to get Tonga back in front. 1048# He has proposed a one-off move to tropical daylight saving for Tonga from 1049# October to March, which has won approval in principle from the Tongan 1050# Government. 1051 1052# From Steffen Thorsen [straen@thorsen.priv.no] (1999-09-09): 1053# * Tonga will introduce DST in November 1054# 1055# I was given this link by John Letts <johnletts@earthlink.net>: 1056# <a hef="http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/asia-pacific/newsid_424000/424764.stm"> 1057# http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/asia-pacific/newsid_424000/424764.stm 1058# </a> 1059# 1060# I have not been able to find exact dates for the transition in November 1061# yet. By reading this article it seems like Fiji will be 14 hours ahead 1062# of UTC as well, but as far as I know Fiji will only be 13 hours ahead 1063# (12 + 1 hour DST). 1064 1065# From Arthur David Olson [arthur_david_olson@nih.gov] (1999-09-20): 1066# According to <a href="http://www.tongaonline.com/news/sept1799.html> 1067# http://www.tongaonline.com/news/sept1799.html 1068# </a>: 1069# "Daylight Savings Time will take effect on Oct. 2 through April 15, 2000 1070# and annually thereafter from the first Saturday in October through the 1071# third Saturday of April. Under the system approved by Privy Council on 1072# Sept. 10, clocks must be turned ahead one hour on the opening day and 1073# set back an hour on the closing date." 1074# Alas, no indication of the time of day. 1075 1076# From Rives McDow (1999-10-06): 1077# Tonga started its Daylight Saving on Saturday morning October 2nd at 0200am. 1078# Daylight Saving ends on April 16 at 0300am which is Sunday morning. 1079 1080 1081############################################################################### 1082 1083# The International Date Line 1084 1085# From Gwillim Law (2000-01-03): 1086# 1087# The International Date Line is not defined by any international standard, 1088# convention, or treaty. Mapmakers are free to draw it as they please. 1089# Reputable mapmakers will simply ensure that every point of land appears on 1090# the correct side of the IDL, according to the date legally observed there. 1091# 1092# When Kiribati adopted a uniform date in 1995, thereby moving the Phoenix and 1093# Line Islands to the west side of the IDL (or, if you prefer, moving the IDL 1094# to the east side of the Phoenix and Line Islands), I suppose that most 1095# mapmakers redrew the IDL following the boundary of Kiribati. Even that line 1096# has a rather arbitrary nature. The straight-line boundaries between Pacific 1097# island nations that are shown on many maps are based on an international 1098# convention, but are not legally binding national borders. 1099# 1100# An Anglo-French Conference on Time-Keeping at Sea (June, 1917) agreed that 1101# legal time on the high seas would be zone time, i.e., the standard time at 1102# the nearest meridian that is a multiple of fifteen degrees. The date is 1103# governed by the IDL; therefore, even on the high seas, there may be some 1104# places as late as fourteen hours later than UTC. And, since the IDL is not 1105# an international standard, there are some places on the high seas where the 1106# correct date is ambiguous. |
