Answer to Question 1

Pornography involves the production, distribution and sale of sexually explicit material intended to sexually excite paying customers. The depiction of sex and nudity is not illegal, but it does violate the law when it is judged to be obscene. Obscenity is a legal term that today is defined as material offensive to community standards. Legally, something is considered obscene if the average person applying contemporary community standards would find that the work taken as a whole appeals to the prurient interest; that the work depicts or describes prohibited sexual conduct and whether the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value. Thus, each local jurisdiction must decide what pornographic material is obscene. A growing problem is the exploitation of children in obscene materials (kiddie porn), which has been expanded through the Internet.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
