Meantime or mean time may refer to:
Meantime is the second EP by British record producer and musician Kwes. It was released on 30 April 2012 on Warp Records.
The release is a follow up to his debut EP release No Need To Run. Early demos for Meantime were written and composed as far back as 2008, but were accidentally wiped off his computer.Meantime was completed in January 2012 after finishing production work for DELS' GOB, Speech Debelle's Freedom Of Speech, Sunless '97's Making Waves and DRC Music's Kinshasa One Two.
Not being the first record to feature Kwes' vocals, the musical composition of Meantime is marked by Kwes accepting his ability to sing more prominently compared to his previous efforts. "Using my voice and writing about personal events is the most honest-- as well as the hardest-- way of expressing myself. If you caught me two, three, four years ago, I wouldn't have had the balls to do that."
Kwes cited one of his musical heroes Robert Wyatt as someone whose music encouraged him to accept his ability to sing on Meantime.
Meantime is a 1983 film directed by Mike Leigh, produced by Central Television for Channel 4. It was shown at the London Film Festival in 1983 and on Channel 4 a few weeks later, on 1 December. According to the critic Michael Coveney: "The sapping, debilitating and demeaning state of unemployment, the futile sense of waste, has not been more poignantly, or poetically, expressed in any other film of the period."
The film details the travails of a working-class family in London's East End, struggling to stay afloat during the recession under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's premiership. Only the mother Mavis (Pam Ferris) is working; father Frank (Jeff Robert) and the couple's two sons Colin (Tim Roth), a timid, chronically shy individual and Mark (Phil Daniels), an outspoken, headstrong young man, are on the dole. This situation is contrasted by the presence of Mavis's sister Barbara (Marion Bailey), and her husband John (Alfred Molina), whose financial and social loftiness, in suburban Chigwell, appears to be a comfortable facade over the unspoken soreness of a lacklustre marriage.
GMT may mean:
GMT is a news programme on BBC World News which premiered on 1 February 2010. The programme's main presenter is George Alagiah, with Stephen Sackur as a relief presenter. Each programme begins with the presenter giving the headlines, then turning to the first story, giving the time in that part of the world. But the programme does not emphasize 'headlines' from BBC World News. 'GMT' apparently refers to Greenwich Mean Time, as the programme commences at 12 noon G.M.T. in London.
GMT is aired from 12:00–13:00 GMT (11:00–12:00 GMT during summer time, as 12:00–13:00 BST during summer time) on weekdays on BBC World News. The programme acts as a primetime programme for Asia and also as a breakfast programme for the U.S. East Coast. The programme features analysis and discussion of the top news stories of the day and also previews the exclusive reports, correspondent feature films and interviews planned on BBC World News programme BBC World News America at 00:00 GMT later that day.
UTC+05:40 is an identifier for a time offset from UTC of +05:40.
UTC+05:40 was sometimes used as an approximation for Nepal Time, which until 1986 was based on Kathmandu mean time, which is at 85°19'E or 5:41:16.
Since 1986 (2043 Bikram Era, used in Nepal) Nepal Time is UTC+05:45.
