Time zone
This world has been divided into many zones. Every zone have it's time zone. For information, time zone is a region of the earth that has adopted a uniform standard time, usually called as the local time. Most adjacent time zones are exactly one hour apart. Standard time zones can be found by dividing the earth's spheroid into 24 lunes. The local time in neighboring zones would differerent by one hour. However, political and geographical practicalities can result in irregularly-shaped zones that follow political boundaries. Before used time zones, people used local solar time. The use of local time became increasingly. The increase in worldwide communication has further increased the need for time references to one another.

Counter-Strike
Counter-Strike commonly known as CS is a tactical first-person shooter video game which originated from a Half-Life modification by Minh "Gooseman" Le and Jess "Cliffe". The game has been expanded into a series since its original release, which currently includes Counter-Strike Condition Zero, Counter-Strike Source, Counter-Strike Anthology and Counter-Strike on Xbox. Counter-Strike pits a team of counter-terrorists against a team of terrorists in a series of rounds. Each round is won by either completing the mission objective or eliminating the opposing force. The latest incarnation of the game, Counter-Strike Source, is based on the Source engine developed for Half-Life 2. The game is almost entirely based on the dynamically streamlined multiplayer experience activated via Steam, and is currently the most played Half-Life modification in terms of players, according to GameSpy. Counter-Strike was developed first as a Half-Life modification. Therefore named "Half-Life Counter-Strike." The original version was a 3rd-party Half-Life modification, but since then it has grown into a commercial mod and later advertised as separate game in itself. It still uses and runs on the Half-Life game engine and is based on its unchanged structure. Try it.
Unidentified Flying Object
I think everyone ever heard about Unidentified Flying Object (UFO). For your information, an Unidentified Flying Object, or UFO, is the popular term for any aerial phenomenon that cannot immediately be identified. Some definitions, such as the one used by the USAF, define a UFO as an object unable to be identified after scrutiny, while other definitions define an object as being a UFO from the time it is first reported as being unidentified, even though most subsequently become IFOs, Identified Flying Objects. Reports of unidentified aerial phenomena date back to ancient times, but modern reports and the first official investigations began during World War II with sightings of so-called foo fighters by Allied airplane crews, and in 1946 with widespread sightings of European "ghost rockets". UFO reports became even more common after the first widely publicized United States UFO sighting, by private pilot Kenneth Arnold in mid 1947. Hundreds of thousands of UFO reports have since been made worldwide. Since its introduction the term has become heavily associated with flying saucers and alien spacecraft, though an object may be classified as a UFO independently of opinion as to its origins. Most military and civilian UFO investigations concluded that the majority of objects can be identified either directly, or by applying Occam's Razor.
