#73189 Project makes use of the Network Time protocol. "Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a networking protocol for clock synchronization between computer systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks. In operation since before 1985, NTP is one of the oldest Internet protocols in current use. NTP was designed by David L. Mills of the University of Delaware." --source "NTP Wikipedia"- NTP allows the elimination of the real time clock for time functions.

Project web site has been online since around March 2017. ; powered by a "RobotDyn WiFi D1 Development Board" and a "Adafruit BME280 sensor for measuring temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure. providing Observations, Graphs, Files, and a Readme file; all pages text based on a white background.

New feature: hosted web site with "Home" page offering overview of project, "Observations" updated every fifteen minutes, "Graphs" display from "ThingSpeak.com" iFrames, "Video" tab plays youtube video, and "About" page is a readme for the project.

New web site: https://observations-weather.000webhostapp.com/ "000webhostapp.com" offers free web site hosting for education and learning. Inspiration for for adding new feature was Stephan Borsay's article: https://www.hackster.io/detox/send-esp8266-data-to-your-webpage-no-at-commands-7ebfec and his php code.

Mr. Borsay is an instructor at Udemy online, his course "All About Arduino Wireless" is well presented; and covers many topics about Arduino/ESP8266 wireless technologies: https://www.udemy.com/all-about-arduino-wireless/learn/v4/overview
