Daylight Saving Time – harmful to humans or a necessary evil?

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 15:22:52 GMT

SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – A decade ago the obituary of a “ladies’ man, foodie, natty dresser, and accomplished traveler” named Harry Weathersby Stamps went viral because of the Gulf Coast Community College professor's disgust for Daylight Saving Time. Image of a magical timeclock by Getty “He particularly hated Daylight Saving Time, which he referred to as The Devil’s Time,” Stamps’ obituary announced to the world just after he died in 2013. “It is not lost on his family that he died the very day that he would have to spring his clock forward. This can only be viewed as his final protest.”In the obituary, Stamps' family asked for others to write congressmen and ask for the repeal of Day Light Saving Time because, and I quote, “Harry wanted everyone to get back on the Lord’s Time.”A decade later, Stamps’ obituary was (and still is) hysterical because his thoughts mirror those of millions of Americans who also hate to spring forward and fall back. What’s the point of Day Light Sa...

Trapped in hell: Palestinian civilians try to survive in northern Gaza, focus of Israel’s offensive

By ISABEL DEBRE, KAREEM CHEHAYEB and WAFAA SHURAFA (Associated Press)DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — When Israeli warplanes bombed the crowded Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza this week, neonatal nurse Hudaa Ali Eldaor felt the vibration in her ward at the nearby Kamal Adwan Hospital.

Eldaor snapped into crisis mode: Halt the bleeding. Resuscitate. Clean just enough to prevent sepsis.During the bedlam Wednesday, Eldaor caught a glimpse of two familiar faces coated with gray dust.
