  • The Milesian Calendar in Short
    The Milesian calendar in short Quick description The Milesian calendar is a solar calendar, with weighted months, in phase with seasons. It enables you to understand and take control of the Earth’s time. The next picture represents the Milesian calendar with the mean solstices and equinoxes. Leap days The leap day is the last day of the year, it is 31 12m or 12m 31 (whether you use British or American English). This day comes just before a leap year. Years The Milesian years are numbered as the Gregorian ones. However, they begin 10 or 11 days earlier. 1 Firstem Y (1 1m Y) corresponds to 21 December Y-1 when Y is a common year, like 2019. But it falls on 22 December Y-1 when Y is a leap year like 2020. The mapping between Milesian and Gregorian dates is shifted by one for 71 days during “leap winters”, i.e. from 31 Twelfthem to 9 Thirdem. 10 Thirdem always falls on 1 March, and each following Milesian date always falls on a same Gregorian date. Miletus S.A.R.L. – 32 avenue Théophile Gautier – 75016 Paris RCS Paris 750 073 041 – Siret 750 073 041 00014 – APE 7022Z Date conversion with the Gregorian calendar The first day of a Milesian month generally falls on 22 of the preceding Gregorian month, e.g.: 1 Fourthem (1 4m) falls on 22 March, 1 Fifthem (1 5m) on 22 April etc. However: • 1 Tenthem (1 10m) falls on 21 September; • 1 12m falls on 21 November; • 1 1m of year Y falls on 21 December Y-1 if Y is a common year, but on 22 December if Y is a leap year; • 1 2m and 1 3m falls on 21 January and 21 February in leap years, 20 January and 20 February in common years.

  • Charles Ballinger Executive Director Emeritus
    NAYRE Charles Ballinger Executive Director Emeritus National Association for Year-Round Education Eight Reasons Given to Avoid Calendar Modification 1. Children might be on differing schedules. 2. Child care might not be available. 3. Students might not find and hold jobs after calendar modification. 4. Students might not be able to be involved in out-of-school activities, extracurricular activities, and sports. 5. There is no air-conditioning during warm weather. 6. Facility cleaning and maintenance will be disrupted. 7. Teachers will have difficulty with in-service and graduate work. 8. Family vacations will be difficult to schedule. Six Generalized Reasons for Calendar Modification 1. Modified, balanced calendars can effectively maintain student interest in learning. 2. Students, learning differently, require different time configurations. 3. Intersession classes provide faster remediation and advanced enrichment. 4. Students learning a second language can benefit from the balanced calendar. 5. Co-curricular and extracurricular activities can take place throughout the year and can reinforce previous learning. 6. Teachers can take advantage of year-long opportunities for staff development.

    CUAHSI WATERML 1.1 Specification Part 1: Introduction to WaterML Schema June 11, 2009 by: David Valentine Ilya Zaslavsky San Diego Supercomputer Center University of California at San Diego San Diego, California, USA Distribution Copyright © 2009, Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. All rights reserved. Funding and acknowledgements Funding for this document was provided by the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI) under NSF Grant No. EAR-0413265. In addition, much input and feedback has been received from the CUAHSI Hydrologic Information System development team. Their contribution is acknowledged here. We would also like to thank partner agency personnel from USGS (Water Resource Division), EPA (the STORET team), and NCDC, as well as data managers and personnel of hydrologic observatory testbeds for cooperation, discussions and insightful feedback. We are especially grateful to the USGS and NCDC teams, and other partners who implemented WaterML-compliant web services over their repositories. Scope Water Markup Language (WaterML) specification defines an information exchange schema, which has been used in water data services within the Hydrologic Information System (HIS) project supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation, and has been adopted by several federal agencies as a format for serving hydrologic data. The goal of the first version of WaterML was to encode the semantics of hydrologic observation discovery and retrieval and implement water data services in a way that is both generic and unambiguous across different data providers, thus creating the least barriers for adoption by the hydrologic research community. This documents WaterML version 1.0 as implemented and utilized in the CUAHSI HIS system.
