Table of Contributors Table of Contents Return to Encyclopedia Home Page Almanacs ALMANACS first appeared in France in the 16th century. Essentially apolitical, the traditional almanac evolved in the early days of the French Revolution, when rev olutionaries and counter-revolutionaries used this medium to describe the stormy period. The almanac had become political; ever since the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte, every regime used this influential medium to foster its goals. Republican almanacs were banned up until the July Monarchy. The political almanac published annually since the end of the 1830s and sold at extremely low prices, compared to newspaper and book prices, they could reach large segments of urban and rural populations not at all familiar with political literature. In printing their little books, monarchist, republican and Bonapartist almanac editors competed with the superstitions and tall tales of traditional almanacs that lulled the masses. Considered initially under the July Monarchy as a means of educating the masses politically and increasing their awareness, the almanac became the principal weapon in disputes between monarchists, republicans and bonapartists during the Second Empire. Because of the electoral potential of universal suffrage extended to males during the February 1848 revolution, each political party tried to mobilize mass support at each legislative election. Freedom of the press also encouraged the publication of almanacs.

23. FBI: Potential Terrorist Use Of Almanacs Investigation has revealed that terrorist operatives may rely on almanacs to assist with target selection and preoperational planning. http://cryptome.org/fbi-almanacs.htm

6 January 2004. Thanks to W. FBI Intelligence Bulletin No. 102 FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT USE ONLY TO: Law Enforcement Agencies FROM: FBI Counterterrorism Division December 24, 2003 Threat Level: Orange (High). THE FBI INTELLIGENCE BULLETIN, DISSEMINATED ON A WEEKLY BASIS, PROVIDES LAW ENFORCEMENT WITH CURRENT, RELEVANT TERRORISM INFORMATION DEVELOPED FROM COUNTERTERRORISM INVESTIGATIONS AND ANALYSIS. THE INTELLIGENCE BULLETIN DOES NOT CONTAIN THREAT WARNING INFORMATION. ITEM I: HSAS THREAT LEVEL RAISED TO ORANGE (HIGH) On December 21, 2003, the Homeland Security Advisory System (HSAS) threat level was raised from Yellow (Elevated) to Orange (High), the second highest level on the HSAS, which characterizes the terrorist threat based on a five-tier scale of threat conditions and corresponding colors: Low (Green), Guarded (Blue), Elevated (Yellow), High (Orange), and Severe (Red). The U.S. Intelligence Community has received a substantial increase in the volume of threat related intelligence reports. Reliable sources suggest the possibility of attacks against the United States by early 2004 that could possibly rival the terrorist attack of September 11 in scope and impact. An FBI Counterterrorism Division communication disseminated via the National Law Enforcement Telecommunications System on December 21 provides general guidelines relating to countermeasures law enforcement agencies can adopt in response to the heightened threat condition. Law enforcement agencies are encouraged to remain alert to possible indicators of terrorist planning and to report suspicious activity immediately to the nearest FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force.

Return to Web Version Printer-friendly Version Early Days Almanacs have been a part of American life since its very beginning. One of the first books printed in English America was an almanac. By the mid-18th century the almanac had become, after the Bible, the book most likely to be found in ordinary homes. Produced annually, almanacs provided practical information and entertainment. Calendar The main feature was a calendar which showed the months and days, the positions of the moon and the planets, religious and civil commemorations, and weather predictions, sometimes decorated with an illustration of a seasonal scene or the sign of the zodiac. Medieval almanacs showed the church’s feast and fast days. The American almanac calendar recorded religious commemorations, but added court days, civic holidays, and the dates of historical events.

33. World War II American Air And Nautical Almanacs When Eckert arrived and war was looming, there was a pressing need for rapid production of accurate and readable air almanacs for use by American flying http://www.columbia.edu/acis/history/almanac.html

World War II American Air and Nautical Almanacs US B-17 Flying Fortress Bombers over Europe in World War II (USAAF photo) In 1940, Columbia University Astronomy Professor Wallace Eckert left his Columbia post for the US Naval Observatory for the duration of World War II to serve as Head Astronomer and Director of the USNO's Nautical Almanac Office, which produced the almanacs used for air and sea navigation. When Eckert arrived and war was looming, there was a pressing need for rapid production of accurate and readable air almanacs for use by American flying forces; prior to this, only a couple air almanacs had been produced, and those by old-fashioned, slow, and error-prone manual methods. Eckert quickly adapted the machine methods he had perfected at Columbia to the Naval Observatory, setting up IBM machines to produce the almanacs with unprecedented speed and accuracy. Under Eckert's guidance, the Air Almanac went through three stages: the 1941 issue (the first regular issue) was printed in the traditional manner, with hand-set movable type; the 1942-45 issues were printed directly on a modified IBM 405 accounting machine, and the 1946 and subsequent issues (through at least 1950) were printed on a

Home About: The Book of Days Its Author This Site Our Staff ... Calendar of Days Indexes Search Site Links Contact Us The Calendar - Primitive Almanacs At Pompeii there has been found an ancient calendar, cut upon a square block of marble , upon each side of which three months are registered in perpendicular columns, each headed by the proper sign of the zodiac. The information given is astronomical, agricultural, and religious. —Lib. Ent. KKnowl.—Pompeii, vol. ii. pp. 287-8. —Brady. Analysis of the Calendar The Clog Almanac The simple-minded, yet for his time intelligent and inquiring Dr Robert Plot, in his Natural Ipistoru of Staffordshire (folio, 1686), gives an account of what he calls the Clog Almanac , which he found in popular use in that and other northern counties, but unknown further south, and which, from its being also used in Denmark, he conceived to The entire series of days constituting the year was represented by notches running along the angles of the square block, each side and angle thus presenting three months; the first day of a month was marked by a notch having a patulous stroke turned up from it, and each Sunday was distinguished d by a notch, somewhat broader than usual. There were indications but they are not easily described—for the Golden Number and the cycle of the moon. The feasts were denoted by symbols resembling hieroglyphics, in a manner which will be best understood by examples. Thus, a peculiarly shaped emblem referred to the Circumcisio Domini on the 1
