Time
Humans have used different objects to tell time. In
the beginning, they used an hourglass. This is a
cylindrical glass with a narrow center which allows
sand to flow from its upper to its lower portion. Once
all the sand has trickled to the lower portion, one
knows that an hour has passed. Using the same idea,
water clocks were constructed to measure time by
having water flow through a narrow passage from
one container to another. On the other hand,
sundials allowed people to estimate an hour by
looking at the position of the shadow cast by the sun
on a plate. At night, people measured time by
checking the alignment of the stars in the sky. None
of these were accurate, though. The clock was the
first accurate instrument for telling time.

Counting the Hours
When men decided to divide the day into twenty-four
hours, they used numbers one through twelve two
times. As a result, there was one o’clock during the
day and another one o’clock after midnight. This
created confusion. If one was told to submit a project
at six o’clock, did this mean six o’clock in the morning
or at night?
The Romans provided a solution to this problem.
They thought that noon time, the time when the sun
is at its apex, is an important time. They called noon
Meridies and measured time by this. They called the
morning ante meridiem, which means “before noon”
while “after noon” was called post meridiem. Ante
meridiem was shortened to A.M. while post meridiem
was shortened to P.M.

Nosebleeds
Having a nosebleed is a common occurrence.
Children experience epistaxis when blood flows out
from either or both nostrils, often for a short period
of time. It may be caused by one’s behavior like
frequent nose picking or blowing too hard when one
has a cold. It may also be caused by certain physical
factors such as an allergy or abnormal growths in
the nasal cavity. Or it may be due to environmental
conditions such as exposure to toxic fumes or
dryness of the air. While it is often thought that
holding one’s head back can treat a nosebleed, this
can actually cause one to choke or vomit. The best
thing to do is to lean forward, pinch the top of the
nose and apply a cold compress. And if that doesn’t
work, it’s best to get professional help.
