[HCDX] Daylight Shifting Time

WORLD OF HOROLOGY
+++++++++++++++++

With silly DST foisted upon most of the USA three weeks earlier than before,
from March 11, it`s about time to check when other countries make the shift.

All this is from http://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst2007a.html 
and I suppose some of the dates are still subject to revision.

Most notably, altho Canada is going along with US (except the part which never
observes DST, Saskatchewan), Mexico is NOT but CUBA IS! Why in the world would
Havana want to keep in step with Miami? Here is a summary of the upcoming
change dates. The above site goes into more detail showing cities, and exact
times of change. However, enclaves such as non-Navajo Arizona which do not
observe DST are not singled out, and must be noted only by their absence from
the list. The dates shown here are the local date when the change occurs,
usually at local midnight to two hours later, in some cases actually the
previous date by UT, in areas such as eastern Russia, Australia, NZ, and other
points east of Western Europe.

DAYLIGHT SHIFTING STARTS:
11 MARCH: Cuba, Canada [6 zones], USA [6 zones including Alaska]
25 MARCH: all of Russia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Lebanon, Turkey, Europe 
          [almost all?], Azores, Greenland
29 MARCH: Jordan
31 MARCH: Israel
 1 APRIL: Syria, Palestine, Iraq, Haiti, Mexico [3 zones but not all?]
27 APRIL: Egypt
 6 MAY  : Honduras

DAYLIGHT SHIFTING ENDS:
11 MARCH: Chile, Easter Island, Paraguay, Uruguay
17 MARCH: New Zealand, Chatham Islands
24 MARCH: Australia except NT, Qsld [3 zones + Lord Howe Island 
          changing ½ hour]
 1 APRIL: Namibia
15 APRIL: Falkland Islands
