One milliliter is one thousandth of a liter, therefore 1% of a milliliter (BAC 0.01) is 0.00001 L. For example, a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.08, denoting 0.08 mL/L, is equivalent to an absolute blood-alcohol volume of 0.00008 L within every liter of blood.
Alaska Summer Solstice Festivals. Summer in the Northern Hemisphere will officially arrive on Tuesday, June 20, 2012 a day earlier then usual due to this being leep year: the Alaska Summer Solstice parties begin. Just for gee wiz, at this same time in the Southern Hemisphere, winter officially begins. Bummer for them.
Because the summer solstice occurs when the North Pole is tilted most towards the sun, the sun reaches its highest point in the sky on that day, which usually occurs around June 21 each year. From now on, days will only get shorter as we travel toward the winter solstice on Dec. 21.
