Specialty Definition: Day

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A day is any of several different units of time. The word refers either to the period of light when the Sun is above the local horizon or to the full day covering a dark and a light period. Different definitions of the day are based on the apparent motion of the Sun across the sky (solar day). The reason for this apparent motion is the rotation of the Earth around its axis, as well as the revolution of the Earth in an orbit around the Sun.

Ancient custom has a new day start at either the rise or set of the Sun on the local horizon. The exact moment, and the interval beween two sunrises or two sunsets, depends on the geographical position (longitude as well as latitude), and the time of year.

A more constant day can be defined by the Sun passing through the local meridian, which happens at local noon (upper culmination) or midnight (lower culmination). The exact moment is dependent on the geographical longitude, and to a lesser extent on the time of the year. The length of a such a day is nearly constant. This is the time as indicated by sundials.

A further improvement defines a fictituous mean Sun that moves with constant speed over the equator; the speed is the same as the average speed of the real Sun, but this removes the variation over a year as the Earth runs its orbit around the Sun.

For civil purposes, since the middle of the 19th century when railroads with regular schedules came into use, a common clock time has been defined for an entire region based on the mean local solar time at some central meridian. For the whole world, about 30 such time zones are defined. The main one is "world time" or UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).

The present common convention has the civil day start at midnight, which is near the time of the lower culmination of the mean Sun on the central meridian of the time zone. A day is commonly divided into 24 hours of 60 minutes of 60 seconds each.

When taking leap seconds into account, a civil clock day is 86400 or 86401 SI seconds long (or theoretically 86399 s on occasion, which never happened).

In astronomy also the sidereal day is used; it is ca. 3 minutes 56 seconds shorter than the solar day, and close to the actual rotation period of the Earth.

Newspaper

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A newspaper is a lightweight and largely disposable periodical containing a journal of current news in a variety topics.

These topics can include political events, crime, sports, opinion, weather, and many more. Newspapers have also been developed around very narrow topic areas, such as news for merchants in a specific industry, fans of particular sports, fans of the arts or of specific artists, and participants in the same sorts of activities or lifestyles.

Most nations have at least one newspaper that circulates throughout the whole country, but in the United States and Canada, there are few truly national newspapers, with the exception of USA Today and the Wall Street Journal. Large metropolitan newspapers with expanded distribution networks such as the New York Times or Toronto's Globe and Mail often fill the national paper role.

The person or company who owns newspaper is the Publisher, and the person responsible for content is the Editor, or Editor-in-Chief.

Circulation and readership

The number of copies sold on an average day is called the newspaper's circulation, and is used to set advertising rates. 1995 data from the United Nations indicate that Japan is the country with most newspaper readership, which had three daily papers with a circulation well above 4 million. Germany's Bild, with a circulation of 4.5 million, was the only other paper in that category. USA Today has daily circulation of approximately 2 million, making it the most widely read paper in the U.S.

Newspaper business models

Newspapers can fund themselves directly by the sale to individuals purchasers, but usually they receive additional income from donation, sponsorship, or advertising. In the latter arrangement, the newspaper makes a reciprocal agreement with a paying advertiser that allows the advertiser to place a message in the newspaper encouraging the reader to purchase their product or service. (See Advertising) In this sort of newspaper (called a commercial newspaper), the portion of the newspaper that is not advertising is called editorial content.

Many paid-for newspapers offer a variety of subscription plans. For example, one might only want a Sunday paper, or perhaps onlySunday and Saturday, or maybe only a workweek subscription, or perhaps a daily subscription.

Some newspapers are supported solely by advertising content or sponsorship, and are given away free; these are called free newspapers.

Some newspapers provide some or all of their content on the Internet, either at no cost or for a fee.

History of newspapers

The first regular English language newspaper, The Daily Courant was published for the first time on March 11, 1702.

Newspaper journalism

Since newspapers began as a way to journal, or keep a record of, current events, the profession which is involved in the making of newpapers began to be called journalism. Much emphasis has been placed upon the value of the journalist to be accurate and fair in the historical record. (See Ethics). On the other hand, it speaks well of the profession that these principles could just as easily have been abandoned long ago.

Ironically, recent criticism of American journalism appearing in the early 2000s includes that which says newspapers are too unbiased; that by presenting only bland fact, and being overly cautious never to never make inferences from patterns of past events, newspapers abandon the true story in exchange for an extremely shallow he said, she said (See Idioms:He said, she said) sort of story. Recently, several alternative news sources, most notoriously on the Internet, have sprung up in order to offset this amnesiac method of reporting.

Newspaper ownership

Newspapers have often been owned by so-called press barons, either as a rich man's toy, or used as a political tool.

Even though the opinions of the owners and readers is pretty much strictly relegated to the editorial section, or op-ed section (for "opinion-editorial") of the paper, newspapers have however been occasionly used for political purposes by subtly insinuating some kind of bias outside of the editorial section and into the stories it calls straight news. (See yellow journalism.) Some believe that commercial newspapers owners think that with full or majority ownership of a newspaper they have no one to answer to, and as such are free to push their personal agenda by pressuring their employees to bias the editorial content of the newspaper. It would be hard to imagine that this is not the case, as arguments have been made very clearly that newspaper publishing constitutes speech, and that since Americans are guaranteed protection against limitations on speech by the 1st amendment to the United States Constitution, newspaper owners are protected in what they may publish.

It was not long after criticism of the increasingly concentrated corporate ownership of newspapers began being heard on the Internet that Michael K. Powell, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission proposed sweeping new rules in the Summer of 2003. Public reaction to the media ownership rule changes was so negative that the U.S. congress was forced to resolve to correct what they believed to have been in error in policy change.

Newspaper formats

A modern daily newspaper is generally printed on large sheets of paper, usually on a thin, somewhat rough paper known as newsprint. Since the 1980s, many newpapers have been printed with three-color process photography and graphics. This highlights the fact that the layout of the newspaper is of prime importance in getting attention so that large sections of the newspaper will be seen and enjoyed by the persons in whose hands it ends up in.

National variations

United States

U.S. dailies commonly separate the physical newspaper into sections, wherein content is group by topic. Therefore, most major American cities will have sections covering a few of the following topics:

United Kingdom

In the United Kingdom, newspapers can be classified by distribution as local or national and by page size as tabloids and broadsheets. There is often an implication that tabloids cater for more vulgar tastes than broadsheets. Within the tabloid category some titles are classed as red-tops because of the design of their front pages. This term is often used deprecatingly by newspapers that consider themselves more serious.

Most areas also typically have one or more free local papers, with extensive classified advertising.

Germany

In Germany, the distinction between serious and tabloid papers is usually made according to whether they are available on subscription. The more sensational tabloids such as Bild are commonly called Boulevardzeitungen (boulevard papers), since they are normally available at the newsstand only; by contrast, the more serious Abonnementzeitungen (subscription papers) sell a large amount of their circulation to subscribers.

John Locke

1690

Bread, wine and cloth, are things of daily use, and great plenty; yet notwithstanding, acorns, water and leaves, or skins, must be our bread, drink and cloathing, did not labour furnish us with these more useful commodities: for whatever bread is more worth than acorns, wine than water, and cloth or silk, than leaves, skins or moss, that is wholly owing to labour and industry; the one of these being the food and raiment which unassisted nature furnishes us with; the other, provisions which our industry and pains prepare for us, which how much they exceed the other in value, when any one hath computed, he will then see how much labour makes the far greatest part of the value of things we enjoy in this world: and the ground which produces the materials, is scarce to be reckoned in, as any, or at most, but a very small part of it; so little, that even amongst us, land that is left wholly to nature, that hath no improvement of pasturage, tillage, or planting, is called, as indeed it is, waste; and we shall find the benefit of it amount to little more than nothing.

Lexicography

Devil's Dictionary

DIARY, n. A daily record of that part of one's life, which he can relate to himself without blushing. Hearst kept a diary wherein were writ All that he had of wisdom and of wit. So the Recording Angel, when Hearst died, Erased all entries of his own and cried: "I'll judge you by your diary." Said Hearst: "Thank you; 'twill show you I am Saint the First" -- Straightway producing, jubilant and proud, That record from a pocket in his shroud. The Angel slowly turned the pages o'er, Each stupid line of which he knew before, Glooming and gleaming as by turns he hit On Shallow sentiment and stolen wit; Then gravely closed the book and gave it back. "My friend, you've wandered from your proper track: You'd never be content this side the tomb -- For big ideas Heaven has little room, And Hell's no latitude for making mirth," He said, and kicked the fellow back to earth. "The Mad Philosopher"
