ΘΕΡΙΝΗ ΩΡΑ-31 Οκτωβρίου 2021

 


ΘΕΡΙΝΗ ΩΡΑ-31 Οκτωβρίου 2021

Οι περισσότερες βιομηχανικές χώρες χρησιμοποιούν περιστασιακά τη θερινή ώρα, που έχει μόνο πρακτική σημασία και αποβλέπει στην εξοικονόμηση ενέργειας εφόσον η χρησιμοποίησή της παλαιότερα βοηθούσε στο να γίνονται περισσότερες εργασίες με το φως της μέρας. Γι’ αυτόν τον λόγο αναφέρεται διεθνώς ως DST (Daylight Saving Time), ας πούμε: «Ώρα Οικονομίας ηλιακού Φωτός». Ιστορικά, η θερινή ώρα, εισήχθη για πρώτη φορά στη Γερμανία και στη Μεγάλη Βρετανία το 1916. Σύμφωνα με το σύστημα αυτό, από το τέλος Μαρτίου έως το τέλος Οκτωβρίου, ως επίσημη ώρα των κρατών που το εφαρμόζουν καθορίζεται η επίσημη ώρα της αμέσως επόμενης ανατολικής προς αυτά ατράκτου, δηλαδή μια ώρα νωρίτερα της αντίστοιχης επίσημης ώρας.
.
Η ώρα αλλάζει, τα τελευταία χρόνια, πάντα την τελευταία Κυριακή του Μαρτίου (μία ώρα μπροστά τα ρολόγια μας), καθώς και την τελευταία Κυριακή του Οκτωβρίου (μία ώρα πίσω οι δείκτες των ρολογιών μας). Έτσι, την Κυριακή 31 Οκτωβρίου 2021, και συγκεκριμένα, στις 03:00 τα ξημερώματα θα γυρίσουμε τα ρολόγια μας ούτως ώστε να δείχνουν 04:00 το πρωί.
.
Ακριβολογώντας, οι χώρες που χρησιμοποιούν τη θερινή ώρα αποτελούν πλέον μειοψηφία. Σχεδόν όλες οι ασιατικές και οι αφρικανικές χώρες δεν συμμετέχουν στο σύστημα αυτό. Γι’ αυτόν τον λόγο, σταθμίζοντας πλεονεκτήματα και μειονεκτήματα, η Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση αποφάσισε να σταματήσει αυτή η εναλλαγή ώρας το 2021. Ωστόσο, έδωσε τη δυνατότητα σε κάθε κράτος-μέλος να επιλέξει ανεξάρτητα και να αποφασίζει τη μονιμοποίηση ή την κατάργηση της θερινής ώρας. Λόγω όμως κοροναϊού το θέμα ατόνησε και η Ελλάδα δεν έχει θίξει ακόμα την κατάργηση ή διατήρηση της θερινής ώρας.
.
Για περισσότερες πληροφορίες: Το Σάββατο τα ξημερώματα ένα εκτεταμένο κείμενο σε έρευνα της Σταυρούλας Πεταλιού θα δημοσιευθεί στο newsbeast.gr και θα παραμείνει στην κεντρική σελίδα του site μέχρι τα μεσάνυχτα.

OXI Day (October 28, 1940) is a national Hellenic holiday and represents when the Hellenic Prime Minister Metaxas was awoken to respond to a series of demands from a representative of a WW2 Axis Power which would have allowed foreign troops free reign in Greece a neutral nation at the time. His response to these demands, and the Hellenic public's “OXI/NO” led to historic battles by the Hellenes against the fascists which had international consequences for Europe and the free world. It was the first time in the European theater that an fascist Axis Power was defeated after them taking over country after country. Hellenic heroism raised the hopes of occupied Europe, and caused the Nazi forces which were scheduled to attack the Soviet Union (Operation Barbarossa) to divert their forces and invade Greece instead. This diversion led to a delay in the Nazi invasion of the U.S.S.R. and the Nazi’s eventual defeat there in the Soviet winter. OXI Day was a turning point in WW2 and as stated international in scope and importance that went beyond the Hellenic Republic. In addition, despite the ultimate Hellenic defeat, having fought long and hard , the bravery of the Hellenic people during those difficult six months also had the effect of changing how Hellenic Americans were perceived in America. It transformed them from being thought of as the “Other” to being finally accepted as Americans. These and other aspects of OXI Day will be elaborated on in the presentations. Join us.
** Important Note - Based on the health provisions of the City of New York and the 3 West Club venue all those attending will have to present a COVID-19 vaccination certificate or proof of a negative molecular (PCR) or RAPID test taken within three days of the event.
