![]() ![]() Why adjust the UTC in the first place? This is because of irregularities in the Earth’s rotation rate. It contains what is called “leap seconds,” which makes it easy to adjust the time in the future if need be. Of course, the time standard has undergone several adjustments over time, and the UTC we use today was implemented in 1972. In other words, UTC is, in essence, the „zero hour“ time.Įven though this time standard came to use from the start of 1960, it was officially adopted a little later, in 1967. UTC has a difference of less than one second of mean solar time at a longitude of 0 degrees. UTC is not a time zone, even though people use it as one. Your clock is regulated by the Coordinated Universal Time standard. This is the primary time standard in the world, and the standard after which the entire world regulates its time. UTC stands for Coordinated Universal Time. If you live in Seattle and you’ve promised to deliver a certain project to an Ireland-based company by, say, Monday morning, you better get it done on Sunday evening your time – Seattle is eight hours behind Dublin, which means your today is their tomorrow and, unless agreed otherwise, they will be expecting results on their time – not yours. For example, UTC is Zulu Time in military jargon.įinally, time zones matter when it comes to legal issues and work contracts. The military uses different names for the different time zones, but the way they work is exactly the same. In addition, time zones are very important for military purposes. ![]() You can imagine the trouble you would have communicating with people who are 6 to 12 hours ahead or behind your time! This is where time zones come in: you can plan your communication by calculating the time differences between you and the person you’re trying to reach, and suggest a time that suits you both. If the person you are speaking to or who ships your product is in a different time zone, it may be midnight your time when it’s noon his or her time. Time zones are very important for commercial and social activities, legal reasons, military use, trade, and just about every other human activity on the planet.Īs long as two countries are in the same time zone, you won’t have any communication issues. Imagine the chaos this would cause: without agreeing on standard time, we wouldn’t be able to agree on, well, anything else. Without a standard time that all countries in a time zone must observe, the countries would never observe at the same time. This is because time zones aren’t about longitude but rather, latitude due to the rotation of the Earth.Īs you can imagine, noon is at different times in each country, which means that noon (12 PM) would be observed at different times from country to country corresponding to their position West or East. Time zones run horizontally rather than vertically: Moscow and Paris will have different time zones, but Cape Town and Madrid observe the same time. This way, it will be the same hour in all the countries and the cities in the particular time zone they observe. What Is a Time Zone?Ī time zone is a region on Earth that observes the same time. ![]() To find out why and to learn some fun time zone facts to outshine your trivia night rivals, let’s dig into the history, use, and curious facts about the UTC and time zones in general. In addition to time zone confusion, UTC is often used instead of GMT, the Greenwich Mean Time. This means that if you’re trying to reach them at 10 AM your time, you’re calling them at 2 in the morning in LA! Needless to say, your Los Angeles friend won’t be happy to answer that call. For example, if you’re based in London, UK, and you’re calling someone in Los Angeles, US, keep in mind they’re eight hours behind you. Understanding time zones and the UTC time standard is essential if you’re traveling if you work with people in different countries, or simply for social reasons. Curiously, UTC is both a time standard and a time zone, and it’s frequently used to describe either… Confused yet? To shed light on the matter, let’s talk about what time zones really are, what UTC is, and what are some of the major countries and cities in UTC. When it comes to understanding world time, most people don’t know what UTC is and what the UTC time. ![]()

By far the best natural history programme about Ireland I’ve ever seen. Orla Diffily Apr 22 Mesmerizing – but unsettling too. Orla Diffily #IrelandsDeepAtlantic – no tweet can adequately describe how absolutely brilliant & overwhelmingly emotional this documentary by Ken O Sullivan on the life in our seas really is. ![]() Spectacular photography and shows what we take for granted. Here’s just a few of the thousands of This is the best show has produced/commisioned in years. “Ken O’Sullivan, the Kerry-born film-maker (:-)) who fronted the series, is a welcome addition to the premier league of natural-born TV naturalists.” “… the nature documentary was a balm for tired eyes, an appealing vista of some of the most graceful creatures on the planet joyfully surging like huge grey torpedoes through oceans of the purest blue.” “… the footage Ken and his crew get of the deep ocean and its inhabitants is extraordinary, up there with anything to be seen in The Blue Planet or any other outstanding nature documentaries, and O’Sullivan’s passion for his subject is both evident and admirable.” “Captured the attention of the entire country last night with the first part of the eagerly-awaited documentary series, Ireland’s Deep Atlantic.” This production was a new way of working whereby it became a partner in the oceanic research collaborating and sharing resources with research scientists resulting in SIX academic research papers, an unprecedented amount for any natural history documentary project. Orla's team wanted to capture the natural behaviours of these squid, but it wasn't easy in such inhospitable conditions.Four years and more in the making, Ireland’s DEEP ATLANTIC explores North Atlantic waters, much of it for the first time ever, in search of blue whales, sharks and deep water coral reefs down to 3,000 metres deep. They are expert hunters and will happily eat their own kind, turning on smaller or injured individuals in the group. These enormous cephalopods have huge appetites, boasting eight arms and two feeding tentacles that are equipped with hundreds of tooth-lined suckers. ![]() The team also filmed a sequence on the hunting habits of Humboldt squid in Chile. You're working at the edge of what we know about the planet.' Predatory cephalopods Eventually I realised that is just how it goes. 'But it's part and parcel of working in that extreme world. When we were working at 1,000 metres with technology that needs to be preserved from the pressure, we had technological hiccup after hiccup. The pressure gets greater as you go down. Every day we relied on technology to get us down to the deep ocean. 'Every day there was a different challenge. I did spend a lot of hours without going to the loo though. We don't feel the pressure even though you can hear the sub creaking as it gets compressed. Orla said, 'It's cosy in the subs, but it's lovely. ![]() In keeping with the type of filming undertaken for Blue Planet II, this sequence pushed the limits of technology. ![]() ![]() ![]() SIMON: I have to ask, Maya Erskine - your mother plays your mother. Some of that came through as the guys not being kind to us and continuing to put them on a pedestal. And we really wanted to reflect in this season. And, you know, we did want to address though a theme in this season that we were calling anti-mom, pro-dad, which was this kind of thing that you learn to not like the girls and not like yourself and not like your mom. ![]() We can throw, you know, everyone can throw each other under the bus because you're just at a point of insecurity where it's survive or be killed.ĮRSKINE: It's really survival of the fittest. And even though, we can - Maya and Anna can be victims in the show, the villain can be within all of us. I mean, I think we all have the booger-smearing part of us - no matter, you know, the girls and the guys. SIMON: I have to ask in your series, which, as you know I enjoyed a lot, adolescent boys are portrayed as a bunch of booger-smearing jerks. And I think we wish, as adults, sometimes you could express your love for your friends that way. And you can physically smash your faces together without anyone (laughter) blinking twice at that age. There's no self-consciousness in how you express your love for your friend at that age. And there's this sort of circle of identity that you're forming together.ĮRSKINE: But it's that age where you get to show sort of unabashed love. KONKLE: You know, in your lowest moment at that age, if you're lucky enough to have that best friend, you have this mere reflection that you get to look out as even better than you. KONKLE: I think it's similar to the friendship that me and Maya really have as 33-year-old women, which is a little bit codependent, I like to think, in a beautiful way rather than unhealthy. What do these two young women find in each other? Anna Konkle. Anna Kone, Maya's best friend - her parents are getting divorced. SIMON: To set up the characters a bit, Maya, played by Maya, is a shy, sensitive seventh grader - Japanese American family - being raised by her mother. But.ĮRSKINE: We just spent a lot of days together. And you were best friends with one of the 14-year-olds, so I had to get over that. KONKLE: I think, the first season, they truly didn't know if we were children or adults for the beginning of it (laughter). SIMON: What's it like to play 13-year-olds who work with other 13-year-olds? Thanks very much for being with us, both of you. ![]() Anna Konkle and Maya Erskine, who are also part of the writing and production team, join us from Los Angeles. SIMON: "PEN15" - write out the title - you'll get it - has begun its second season on Hulu. But if it doesn't keep happening because you keep interrupting. Congratulations.ĮRSKINE: (As Maya Ishii-Peters) No. MAYA ERSKINE: (As Maya Ishii-Peters) Literally, I was this close to getting my first kiss with Brandt.ĪNNA KONKLE: (As Anna Kone) How was I supposed to know that? I didn't know that? That's amazing, though. Times of crushes, dances, exploratory kisses and heartbreaks, pimples, braces, red faces and hormones, moaning hormones. Anna Konkle and Maya Esrkine play versions of themselves as 13-year-old besties in the seventh grade 20 years ago. And maybe that means it's real life, middle school life. I can't tell if "PEN15" is a comedy or a drama. ![]() ![]() A flat white is typically made with whole milk and an additional shot of espresso. Most are pretty self explanatory, like an iced Americano, lattes, and macchiatos. Then we have a series of cold brews topped with cold foam-a creamy foam that's often flavored. It appears that Starbucks, like many other coffeeshops, are veering more into cold brew (comprising much of the menu) which offers a smooth, flavorful drink with less acid and bitterness than a traditional iced coffee. Back in the day, Starbucks didn't have cold brew-only drip coffee that's been chilled. When it comes to non-espresso drinks on the Starbucks cold coffees menu, you'll find iced coffee, cold brew, and nitro cold brew. There are also a few drinks I'd steer clear of.īut first, a breakdown of the cold coffees menu: Whether you're looking for a sugary drink to soothe a sweet tooth or a creative cold brew that'll mix up your typical order, I've got you covered. Like I said, I typically veer toward simple, coffee-forward drinks, but that doesn't mean a caramel macchiato is bad! In fact, it was pretty good. ![]() ![]() In the end, I'm including almost all of them in this list because, well, tastes and (dietary restrictions) vary. I tasted my way through almost the entire cold coffee menu at Starbucks to find the very best drinks to order. Besides Frappuccinos, Starbucks now has a huge selections of cold coffee drinks to choose from-how do you pick? When I find myself at Starbucks, my typical order is a cold brew or sometimes, if I'm feeling adventurous, one of the newer creations with cold foam on top. ![]() While I love a good pour-over coffee or cappuccino, I drink iced coffee year-round, rain or shine. ![]() ![]() ![]() Over time as your investment generates returns, the returns get added to the principal amount and this in turn generates more returns.

![]() Nevertheless, the positives outweigh even this limitation - at least if the external controller compensates. I wish I knew in advance how limiting fine control quickly becomes before laying out the price for this on my iPad. Several walk-through also cite lack of fine control as a bit frustrating at higher levels and in boss battles but herald the fact that the game in iOS supports the use of wireless controllers. What needs to be done to succeed becomes obvious but the control provided by two thumb maneuvering is not up to the task IMO. This less-than-nuanced fine control became even more limiting in the next level when timed and action sequences are necessary. while the left/right thumb controls are adequate for movements, attacks and actions in the early stages of game play, by the time you reach the second level boss (the Kraken) the fine level control necessary for required action sequences is inadequate.

The young Roman refused and escaped by serving in the military, first in the province of Asia and then in Cilicia. Sulla ordered Caesar to divorce his wife or risk losing his property. Caesar’s marriage to Cornelia drew the ire of the Roman dictator Sulla, as Cornelia’s father was Sulla’s political rival. ![]() In 84 BCE, Caesar married Cornelia, the daughter of a nobleman. Around the time of his father’s death, Caesar made a concerted effort to establish key alliances with the country’s nobility, with whom he was well-connected. He remained close to his mother, Aurelia. When he was 16, his father, an important regional governor in Asia also named Gaius Julius Caesar, died. Little is known of Caesar’s early years, but during his youth an element of instability dominated the Roman Republic, which had discredited its nobility and seemed unable to handle its considerable size and influence. ![]() SPOUSE: Cornelia (84–69 BCE), Pompeia (67–62 BCE), Calpurnia (59–44 BCE)īorn Gaius Julius Caesar on July 12, 100 BCE, Caesar hailed from Roman aristocrats, though his family was far from rich.
