   ### SUMMARY
   
   Whilst playing with the time range picker I discovered that for relative 
times ("Last Week" etc.) the reference time (either shown in default or via a 
tooltip) would use the client timezone rather than the server timezone. This 
was problematic say at 2019-10-24:18:00:00 PDT the UI would reference 
`2019-10-24 00:00:00` in various tooltips however when the query was executed 
it would use `2019-10-25 00:00:00`.  
   
   Note I was unsure whether we should parse the server timezone to the client 
but it seems in other places there's the assumption that times use the UTC 
timezone (irrespective of the server timezone). 
   
   ### BEFORE/AFTER SCREENSHOTS OR ANIMATED GIF
   
   I added a tooltip to explicitly callout that the times were in UTC.
