THey close at least earlier than usual. I think they close at six or seven o' clock since less people go to the bank on weekdays since they relax or go on vacations or honeymoons.

Its to make more evening time ( time before lights on ) available to office workers. In UK they even had double-DST during wwII

the door is "open" is a state of being. instead of , it will be "opened.  in  that case, it will be but hasnt yet.  the door is "closed"  is stated after it has physically closed.  therefore the "ed" is there to express that it has already closed.

lock down is the same everywhere, but can be only a inmate, a cell block or the entire institution.\n\non a inmate, he is in basicly in his cell 24 hours a day 7 days a week, except for manditory yard time ( which is often still by his self)  and to shower.\n\nAn intire cell block can be that way either because it is a lockdown all the time and inmates on lockdown are moved there.  ( called the "hole" on various TV shows)\n\nso if there is a problem, fight or some issue, the guards can call a lock down of that cell block in which all inmates in general population have to return to thier cells right then.

Frank H is right - it's not really that 24 was chosen - more like 12 was chosen.  The division is really arbitrary - the day could just as easily have been broken into 10, 40, or 1667 "hours".  \nMost old systems like that are based on the same numbers - a dozen eggs, a circle is 360 degrees, 12 signs of the zodiac, 12 months in a year, 12 disciples, 12 step program - oops, not that one....

because it's not as confusing with the whole a.m/p.m thing. what if someone forgets the a.m or p.m and does an operation at a complete wrong time and gets killed.

If you are going to do the security evaluation for a building, then you must have the blueprints for the building to see just where other access places might be.  One thing I had in mind is through the basement, if suites have an adjoining basement.or maybe even shared attics.  Breaking windows isn't the only way to enter via locked units.  You can cut the glass, quietly and insert your arms to unlock the window.  As stated in an other answer, people can hide within the structure during operating hours.  I am sure that employees might be another source of security problem, so after discussing how much security the owner is willing to fore go for personal confidentiality.  You and he might discuss ways of monitoring his staff and the coming and going of customers..

because it is not a monthly cycle.  it happens every 28-30 days and hence it will overlap a "monthly" period of time

the 24 hours in a day represent the time needed by the earth to make a turn around the sun\nfor that we can not make the day 25 hours because it will not have any meaning

They used to be open from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.; hence the name.  Now I think most of them are open all the time.

probably because you're walking by made them remember to lock their car doors.  Its not specifically you.  At least, for me, I know it isn't for any particular race.  I leave work really late at work and stupidly do not lock my doors when I know with an SUV somebody could open any of the 4 doors.  When I see anyone at the bus stop, I lock them.  \n\nTry not to take it personally.  You could always look at the driver real hard and snap your fingers like "DARN, I was about to car jack them!"  LOL

Don't worry about that.  The pressure differential will keep the door from opening.  You watch too many movies.

Daylight savings doesn't save daylight . . . it tries to better align the office owrker schedule with the rising and setting of the sun. \n\nIn spring the sun rises earlier, so we set our clock forward (add an hour or so) . . . this makes it seem like the sun rises later (if the sun was rising at 6AM now it rises at 7AM) and more importantly makes it seem to set later (if it was setting at 6PM now it sets at 7PM).\n\nSo what? Right? The point of this is that you don't need to turn on your lights at 6PM when the sun goes down. Now you turn them on at 7PM. So that hour of daylight at 6PM when you were sleeping was being "wasted" before, and now, it's being utilized so you don't have to turn your lights on so early in the evening. Daylight savings time saves tens of millions in electrivity in the USA alone each year. In the fall we do the opposite (set the clock back an hour) for the  opposite reason as sunrise gets later and later. This way we don't have to turn on the lights as early in the morning when we get up.\n\nOriginally it was so that farmers that wake up with the sun and office workers that always wake up at the same time could align their schedules as the sunrise changed between winter and summer.

that's a great question and a good thought. it would be helpful and more convenient to the many of us who work during the weekday, rather than to get all stressed and rushed-out trying to get back to our districts trying to beat the crowds and the lines!
