Knowledge about official U.S local time Melbourne (Australia)

For example, between 1963-10-23 and 1963-12-09 in Brazil only Minas Gerais, Espirito Santo, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo had summer time, but on request a split from America/Sao Paulo was rejected with the reasoning that since 1970 the clocks were the same in the whole region.
Time in Germany, which is represented by Europe/Berlin is not correct for the time span after 1945 when the Trizone did not follow Berlin's switch to DST.
The tz database is published as a set of text files which list the rules and zone transitions in a human-readable format
For use, these text files are compiled into a set of platform-independent binary files—one per time zone
The reference source code includes such a compiler called zic (zone information compiler), as well as code to read those files and use them in standard APIs such as localtime() and mktime().
The tz reference code and database is maintained by a group of volunteers
Arthur David Olson makes most of the changes to the code, and Paul Eggert to the database
Proposed changes are sent to the tz mailing list, which is gatewayed to the comp.time.tz newsgroup
Source files are distributed via the FTP server elsie.nci.nih.gov
Typically, these files are taken by a software distributor like Debian, compiled, and then the source and binaries are packaged as part of that distribution
End users can either rely on their software distribution's update procedures, which may entail some delay, or obtain the source directly from ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/ and build the binary files themselves.
Jet lag, medically referred to as "desynchronosis," is a physiological condition which is a consequence of alterations to circadian rhythms; it is classified as one of the circadian rhythm sleep disorders
Jet lag results from rapid long-distance transmeridian (east-west or west-east) travel, as on a jet plane.
The condition of jet lag may last many days, and recovery rates of 1 day per eastward time zone or 1 day per 1.5 westward time zones are mentioned as fair guidelines.
When traveling across a number of time zones, the body clock will be out of synchronization with the destination time, as it experiences daylight and darkness contrary to the rhythms to which it has grown accustomed: the body's natural pattern is upset, as the rhythms that dictate times for eating, sleeping, hormone regulation and body temperature variations no longer correspond to the environment nor to each other in some cases
To the degree that the body cannot immediately realign these rhythms, it is jet lagged.
The speed at which the body adjusts to the new schedule depends on the individual; some people may require several days to adjust to a new time zone, while others experience little disruption
Crossing one or two time zones does not typically cause jet lag.
The condition is not linked to the length of flight, but to the transmeridian (west-east) distance traveled
A ten-hour flight from Europe to southern Africa does not cause jet lag, as travel is primarily north-south
