    public static void main(String[] args) {
        DateTime dt = new DateTime();

        // Set to the current system date/time.
        dt.setFromCurrentSystemTime();
        System.out.println("Now: " + dt.getAsTimestamp(true));

        // Subtract 10 minutes, making the date 10 minutes in the past.
        dt.addSeconds(-600);
        System.out.println("10 minutes ago: " + dt.getAsTimestamp(true));

        // Is the date/time older than 10 seconds?
        boolean b = dt.olderThan(10, "seconds");
        System.out.println("Older than 10 seconds: " + b);

        // Is the date/time older than 5 minutes?
        b = dt.olderThan(5, "minutes");
        System.out.println("Older than 5 minutes: " + b);

        // Is the date/time older than 15 minutes?
        b = dt.olderThan(15, "minutes");
        System.out.println("Older than 15 minutes: " + b);

        // Is the date/time older than 1 hour?
        b = dt.olderThan(1, "hour");
        System.out.println("Older than 1 hour: " + b);

        System.out.println("Older than 1 day: " + b);

        // Output:

        //     Now: 2017-05-05T23:33:06-0500

        //     Older than 5 minutes: True
        //     Older than 15 minutes: False
        //     Older than 1 hour: False
