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.
You are here. The Longest Day of the Year. The summer solstice! On the summer solstice, birds nesting near Juneau, Alaska take advantage of almost 18 1/2 hours between sunrise and sunset. This day in south Texas is considerably shorter, so the Altamira Oriole has only 14 hours to sing. Seattle's Song Sparrows see 16 hours of daylight; Sacramento's only 15. Birds nesting north of the Arctic Circle have six weeks with almost 24 hours of daylight every day.
