Nothing in my life needs to be exactly on the second. If clocks differ a minute or two, I don't care.  When I go somewhere I allways go early not to arrive late. The seconds doesn't really matter to me much.

I am very punctual myself and so are most of my good friends. People who are habitually late for thing tend to irritate me because it's disrespectful, irresponsible, and really makes the person look bad. I've handled these people in two ways a) by not inviting them places because I don't want to deal with their mess or b) if I otherwise like them, lie about the time and ask them to show up ten minutes early.

I have noticed that there are times of the day when it seems like more intelligent people are answering.\nI have noticed it to be after 4pm and before 10pm but I might be wrong.

I think they origionated in poland.\n\nOther than that I dont understand what people seem to resent about the polish people.  Of course sterotyping is a sign of ignorance any way.  I had some ukraine friends that for some reason were just biased towards them in a way ill never understand.

Scientists are delaying the start of 2006 by the first "leap second" in seven years, a timing tweak meant to make up for changes in the Earth's rotation.\n\nThe adjustment will be carried out by sticking an extra second into atomic clocks worldwide at the stroke of midnight Coordinated Universal Time, the widely adopted international standard, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology said this week.\n\nFor more info, visit:\nhttp://www.theage.com.au/news/world/a-year-late/2005/12/25/1135445473624.html

Russia spans 11 time zones - from Kalinigrad near the Polish border to the Kamchatka peninsula north of Japan.  Moscow is four hours ahead of Greenwich mean time.

This is a good question but I need to know what you mean.  How can you cultivate it in students?  In subordinates?  In your superior?  A lot of time, modeling can help.  Show the person what you want them to do and explain that this is what you want them to do.  (e.g., See how I'm always on time to meetings and always start my meetings on time?  You can't expect punctuality from people if the leader isn't himself (or herself) punctual.)  If you aren't in a position to model the behavior, show them someone else who has done it.  (e.g., Remember how Lincoln had a drive to keep the Union together -- that drive really showed leadership and is one thing that kept people following him.)\n\nLead by example.

Humans.  The morning is birth, when we crawl as babies.  The afternoon is when we are young and mid-adults, when we walk.  The evening is when we are older and use a cane.  The one voice is always our own.  Ah, the Riddle of the Sphinx.  ;)

Do you mean EST (winter time) or EDT (summer time). 9:00 a.m. EDT is 5:00 p.m. is Moscow and most of Western part of Russia. Everything elese depends on where YOUR Mikhailovka is (there are literally hundreds of towns with such a name in Russia)

Nie jestem nastolatka, ani nie mam polskiego paszportu, ale dziadek byl Polakiem, a Polska jest dla mnie 'tu' raczej niz 'tam'...\n\nI am not a teenager, nor do I have a Polish passport, but my grandpa was Polish, and for me Poland is 'here' rather than 'there'...

For contemporary Neo-Pagans, we "measure" time the same way as others--with standard chronometric terms.\n\nBut, as I think you mean, how do we describe and how do we conceptualize time--that's a different subject.\n\nHow Pagans describe time:\nWe describe years using, much as many non-Christians in the West do, the CE/BCE designations for years.  This is not 2006 Anno Domini (Our Lord)--for the Christian figure Jesus is not our Lord.  For us, as for Jews, it is the year 2006 Common Era, and similarly Hesiod wrote in the 8th century BCE (Before Common Era).  \n\nHow Pagans conceptualize time:\nTime is essentially cyclical, with some linear features.  The same basic processes repeat themselves endlessly in the Universe, but there is also change and a narrative progression (this latter process would be historical change, which we see as real but secondary to cosmological cyclicality).  \n\nThe most important units of cyclical time:\n(1)  The Wheel of the Year: too complex to discuss at this length, the Wheel of the Year is the basic time motif of Pagan thought.  It is the procession of the seasons, the lunar and solar year, and the eight Wiccan waypoints along the year.\n(2)  The Ages of the Person:  human life-cycles are also part of the unfolding of time.  Most Neo-Pagan traditions use the life-cycle of the human individual to talk about our individual lives in the larger flow of time.\n(3)  The Lunar Cycle:  The 28-day lunar cycle is, like the solar year, one of the two pillars of the Pagan liturgical calendar.  It maps the principle of cyclical flow, the hidden and mysterious qualities of Being.\n(4)  The Day:  Like the Year and the Ages of the Person, each Day corresponds to the Wiccan  magical circle (East/South/West/North), traveling from Dawn to Noon to Twilight to Midnight and back to Dawn.  The solar Day, the lunar Month, and the lunar-solar conjoined Year together with the individualized Life-Cycle describe our interdependent relationship with the Earth and Heavens around us, our inextricable place in the Great Web of Being.\n\nThere is much, much more to be said about this.  But Yahooo Answers lends itself to the terse version.

poor time keeping is definately something to remember. Also know that in Ghana its considered rude to use your left hand when dealing with people. The locals will understand if you don't follow this standard since you aren't from their culture but they will be impressed if you know. \n\nDon't be surprised or frightened if in more casual settings people, especially children want to touch your skin or your hair and ask you a lot of questions. They're just curious thats all. \n\nYou will see some of what you would consider poor hygene but keep in mind that people do what they know and what they've been taught so try not to look at people as if they're unclean or inferior. \n\nIts a wonderful country with welcoming people. Have fun!

I wouldn't worry about it being late unless they ask.  They probably didn't notice.  Just tell the truth - what more can you do?
