Leap years and why we need them – BBC News
Russia has been ramping up its efforts to strangle Ukraine’s commercial links to the outside world, by launching waves of attacks along the country’s Black Sea coastline.
While there have been Russian attacks on international vessels before, they’ve never been so numerous or so deadly. Ukraine’s port administration says there were 57 Russian attacks on civilian vessels last month. Ukraine’s once bustling ports – such as Odesa, Chornomorsk, and Pivdennyi – are almost devoid of ships.
Ukraine is also targeting shipping in the war, with recent, highly successful attacks on Russian vessels, including sanctioned tankers carrying oil, as well as ships involved in carrying supplies to Russian-occupied Crimea.
Using its own drones, Ukraine has struck around 200 Russian vessels, bringing traffic in the strategic Sea of Azov to a virtual standstill.

Russia has attacked Ukraine with ballistic missiles and drones, killing at least 17 people, as Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said interceptors “could have saved lives”.
In one of the deadliest strikes across Kyiv this year – which started after midnight on Wednesday – at least 44 people were injured after residential buildings, a railway station and warehouses were hit, Zelensky said.
The Russia defence ministry said it had struck logistics hubs and supply centres in Kyiv and the surrounding region.

Iran says it has agreed shipping route with Oman, as Trump continues military threats | BBC News
Iran says it has agreed a shipping route with Oman in the Strait of Hormuz that could pave the way for the vital waterway to reopen.
It follows more military threats from US President Donald Trump, if Iran doesn’t agree to a deal for free passage.
Meanwhile, Yemen’s Houthi rebels say they have attacked a Saudi oil tanker in the Red Sea, while Israel has conducted strikes in southern Lebanon, accusing Hezbollah of violating the ceasefire.
And inside Iran, the UN say 56 people have been executed since mid-March on charges relating to national security.

If leap years were omitted we could have Christmas during Northern Hemisphere astronomical autumn after 20 years or so
Latest Solstice Date is December 23 so we would need to drop another leap year or two for it to work

when they say "we" they mean the Africans.
What they did was messed up the math in the Calendar.
The Egyptians had calculated that the solar year was actually closer to 3651/4 day. After 1,460 solar years, or four periods of 365 years, 1,461 Egyptian years had passed.
The reason why Western societies use 4 years is because their society don't last for 1460 years.
to have a proper leap year.. you need to have dynasties. dynasties requires LONG peace and stability.
THE 4 year is wrong, the months are wrong as well. Julia Caesar wants a month , a month was put in. Queen Victoria wants a lake, a lake was renamed
Ethiopia has the correct Christian calendar. The new year starts at the longest day of the year.

there must be something wrong at 2:02, the timeline should be 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2000, then 2100 and 2200, but the video shows 2010 and 2020 followed by the 2000.

Technically, Pope Gregory XIII did not actually create the century exceptions. All he did was assign two astronomers, Christopher Clavius and Lilius a job to find a way to reform the calendar. Once they found out what to do, they asked the pope if it was good and he ordered it to be in effect. So yes, it’s named after the pope, but he didn’t actually make the rules, so to speak.
