I've been following the Countdown to Christmas tutorial as I want to make a countdown app to a race that I organise.
I'm based in the UK, and I have set:-
Call Clock.MakeInstant from "07/30/2017 09:30:00"
The problem is, that the countdown timer on my phone is an hour out. Instead of showing the days, hours, minutes and seconds until 30th July 2017 09:30, it is showing the days, hours, minutes and seconds until 30th July 2017 08:30
Is there a way of setting the clock to use the timezone of the device that the app is running on?

There's an extra complication to consider.

Daylight Savings Time kicks in this weekend here in the US late Saturday night,
stealing an hour of sleep (and countdown time) from us.
I started on an extension to include date utility helper-methods.
Currently only 2 methods available:
1. Get current date / time in specified format
2. Calculate day, hour, min, sec difference between 2 different dates.
Item 2 above can be used to calculate current date/time to any date/time such as now to Christmas or new year.
The extension can be downloaded from link below:
Just FYI, based on needs, I'll be adding more helper methods.
