A 1945 Life article reported on "an egg-balancing craze" among the population of Chongqing (the interim capital of China during World War II) on that year's Lichun. [5] That article and subsequent followings-up started a similar egg-balancing craze in the United States, but transposed to the vernal equinox beginning Western spring on March 20 or 21 when the sun is at the celestial longitude of ...
Time for Timer is a series of seven short public service announcements broadcast on Saturday mornings on the ABC television network starting in 1975. The animated spots feature Timer, a tiny cartoon character who is an anthropomorphic circadian rhythm , the self-proclaimed "keeper of body time."
Dial of a wall-mounted sundial for simultaneous display of temporal (twelve hours, black) and equinoctial (red, digit at end of hour) daytime hours (At day-night equinox, both types of hours are of equal length.) An equinoctial hour is one of the 24 equal parts of the full day (which includes daytime and nighttime).
The hour circle is a subtype whereby it is expressed in hours as opposed to degrees, radians, or other units of angle. The hour circles make for easy prediction of the angle (and time due to Earth's fairly regular rotation, approximately equal to the time) between the observation of two objects at the same, or similar declination. The hour ...

Most traditional egg timers have a set time of about three minutes, that being the approximate time it takes to cook an average sized hen's egg in water. Hard-boiled eggs take longer to cook. The three minute egg timer is for soft-boiled eggs. [4] The egg changes rapidly during the first few
Because right ascensions are measured in hours (of rotation of the Earth), they can be used to time the positions of objects in the sky. For example, if a star with RA = 1 h 30 m 00 s is at its meridian, then a star with RA = 20 h 00 m 00 s will be on the/at its meridian (at its apparent highest point) 18.5 sidereal hours later.
Set the Pomodoro timer (typically for 25 minutes). [1] Work on the task. End work when the timer rings and take a short break (typically 5–10 minutes). [5] Go back to Step 2 and repeat until you complete four pomodori. After four pomodori are done, take a long break (typically 20 to 30 minutes) instead of a short break.
