Displaying Date in a Different Timezone
Configure the desired timezone by setting up the TZ environment variable:
TZ="America/Los_Angeles"
To list available timezones, either list files in /usr/share/zoneinfo or run:

Getting the Time in Seconds
date '+%s'
Elapsed Time in Seconds
local t0 t1 elapsed
t0=$(date '+%s')
sleep 2
t1=$(date '+%s')
elapsed=$(("${t1}"-"${t0}"))
echo "elapsed seconds: ${elapsed}"
ISO 8601 Format
