Daylight Saving Time 夏時間，サマータイム;

********************
As of Sunday, 31 October, 27 countries in the European Union set their clocks back for winter by one hour. Americans do so on November 7th. In the UK and the US between March and November, clocks are put forward by one hour in order to give people more daylight – this is referred to as Daylight Saving Time (DST). The advantages of DST are that it encourages people to do more outdoor activities such as sports and recreation. It also encourages people to go to restaurants and bars. Japan, India, and China are the only major industrialized countries that do not observe some form of daylight saving. Japan did so between 1948 and 1951 during the American occupation, but stopped following opposition from farmers. (by Prof. Simon Smith )

Do you want a job in the future that doesn’t have too much stress? According to Money Magazine and PayScale.com, in the United States, the 10 jobs with the least stress are biomedical engineer, transportation engineer, statistician, Web developer, geographic information systems analyst, technical writer, test software development engineer, marketing consultant, civil engineer, and optometrist. Notice anything similar? Almost all of the jobs require more than just basic computer skills, and most require math and statistical abilities. So, if you love math, you may (or may not) have a less stressful future ahead of you than your friend who loves literature. (by Prof. Carmella Lieske)
