In 2012, the calendar may change
It is possible that in 2012 we will celebrate on Richardson calendar, which actively pushes the head of the UN World Association of calendars Wayne Richardson. He believes that the current Gregorian, adopted in 1582, is no good - he is 26 seconds longer than the astronomical (over 3323 years the difference is one day), and the difference is the number of days and weeks into months, quarters and halves of difficult economic and statistical calculations .
FAVORITE. According to Richardson calendar, the New Year should always begin with a Sunday, there will always be 365 days, but in the end - just two Saturdays. The second will be called the Day of Peace - Worldsday. (Such a state of affairs opposed to primarily Jews, because then they will move to the calendar of the Sabbath - the seventh day of the week on which the Torah prescribes to refrain from work. For centuries, celebrated the Sabbath on Saturday.)
Worldsday will appear after December 30 to January 1 and thus the Christmas week will have three days off. February will be 30 days and 31 days will be in January, April, July and October. Christmas always - from Saturday to Sunday, Valentine's Day - Tuesday, and on September 1 - Friday. 2012 is chosen as the starting point for the new calendar because he already starts on Sunday, which means that you can move more smoothly to the new system. This calendar has submitted to the United Nations.
OTHER OPTIONS. There are a number of suggestions as to simplify the Gregorian calendar, in which humanity lives with the XVI century, and every four years receives a so-called unfortunate leap-year. Compilers symmetrical calendar suggest that each month starts on Monday, which would require, in February, May, August and November to increase the number of days right up to 35, and the rest cut down to 28. But then it is not clear how should celebrate their birthdays are, who was born in these months from 29 to 31 the number.
We discuss a fixed calendar of 13 months of 28 days. Newbie called "Salt." All months starting from Sunday. Leap day there in June.
They offer a perpetual calendar, split into four 3-month quarter. Each quarter begins on a Monday, which is convenient for business. The first two months of each quarter - for 30 days, the last one - 31. Between December 31 and January 1 - New Year's Day, and every 4 years between June 31 and July 1 there is a leap year day. The main feature - Friday it never gets to the number 13, as opposed to the favorite, in which as many as four Black Friday.
