When is the next leap year That extra 6 hours adds up to an extra day over the course of 4 years, which is why leap years occur almost every 4 years. If lads don’t leap this year, the lasses may.” “ This is Leap Year, and ancient proverbs say, Date: Mon, To: From: Robert Alan Wolf <> Subject: leap years For the old calendar, the Julian, in use until recent. A leap year is a year with 366 days instead of 365, every 4 years in February one extra day is added.There are several posts on Carroll and his use of language in the blog archive: you can find out about Alice and Humour here, while Carroll’s exuberant linguistic inventiveness is celebrated here and here. The absurdity of having a birthday once every four years might well have appealed to both the author and his character, though I am not aware of any references to it in the books. Today is the 200th birthday of Sir John Tenniel, whose wonderful illustrations graced the original ‘Alice’ books by Lewis Carroll. Those born on leap day, called ‘leaplings’ by some, may well feel aggrieved at only being able to celebrate their birthdays on the correct day once every four years. In some places, leap years and February 29 in particular are regarded as being unlucky. There are a number of traditions associated with February 29, one of the most widespread being the idea that this is the only day when it is permissible for a woman to propose. You can find out more by reading Kerry Maxwell’s BuzzWord article on the phrase written in 2016, the last time there was a leap year. Another name for a leap year is a bissextile year, a term derived from Latin meaning ‘twice the sixth day’. This is to adjust the calendar to the earth’s rotation around the sun, which takes 365.25 days rather than the 365 included in the calendar three years out of four. It is also the last day of February on leap years. It is the 60th day of a leap year in both calendars, and 306 days remain until the end of the leap year. Curiously, many Leap Day customs have revolved around romance and marriage. February 29 is a leap day or 'leap year day', an intercalary date added periodically to leap years in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. ![]() However, I wouldn't venture to use that rule without testing it.Įdit: make sense to ME.This year is a leap year, meaning that February has 29 days instead of the usual 28. Leap Day is often associated with marriage, proposals and flipping gender roles. I'm thinking probably the closest rule that would make sense is to add one to the "month" value then decrement the resulting day enough to make the result a valid date. There's no way to ensure that February 28th is used as the last day of the month or just the 28th day. That's only because February doesn't have 31 days and it's changed to the last day available for that month. I think the best plan is to know what dateadd does with this 'month' parameter, its not hard to test all cases. Calendar for the next leap year (2024) Here’s a calendar for the next leap year (year 2024) Leap year: 2024 calendar has February 29th. Why should the end of the month be treated any differently from any other day in the month?

![]() Both forms must be tuned in to 8th grade counselor. ![]() Those students who plan to apply for School CHOICE or an Employee Transfer to Harrison will receive two forms: 9th Grade Core Registration Form- to be completed by 8th grade teachers, 9th Grade Elective Registration Worksheet- to be completed by student. This electronic document will be sent to Harrison High School at the end of January. Will be based on the student’s performance this year and on the requirements set forth by Harrison. Harrison will send LMMS teachers an Office 365 document for our 8th grade teachers to enter core course recommendation for their subject for their students who currently live in the Harrison district. Harrison High School Registration Process ![]() Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you about your child’s high school next year. ![]() If you have any questions, please let me know. Continue to check the counseling website for up-to-date information, check your high school’s website for specific information, check CTLS, and continue to check email as we send details. The High School will then use our unofficial registration form that we completed at LMMS to register your student.Īs with everything the past 2 years, registration events can change. If your child is approved for a transfer, you will be notified of the approval and asked to contact the high school and make an appointment to register your child. The unofficial registration that we complete at LMMS for these students does not ensure that the school has spots available, or your student will be selected to attend that high school. Keep in mind that the high schools cannot officially register a student that is not residing in their district until the transfer is approved. We will complete an “un-official” registration form for that school and make sure the transfer high school has it on file in the event the transfer is approved. If you plan on applying for a school CHOICE or Employee Transfer for your child to attend Harrison or Hillgrove (or another school in which you are currently not districted for) – please let me know as soon as possible (via email You must complete the appropriate applications and paperwork on the Cobb County website () for this process. I encourage you to check your home high school’s website and look for when they have their 8th grade parent meeting so you can attend. ![]() Sometimes plans change prior to the first day of 9th grade and we want our students to have the necessary registration completed just in case. This means that if your student lives in a school district different than the high school they plan to attend either through school CHOICE, employee transfer, private school, moving to another district, or magnet program we MUST still register them for their districted high school. Per county policy, we must register students for their districted high school, which is the high school located in the district in which they reside at this current time. Your student will also be selecting their electives for high school as part of high school registration. This process will involve your student’s current teachers making recommendations for their core academic classes for next year based on grades in each subject, work ethic, and guidelines set forth by their high school. It is time to register our 8th grade students for high school classes. ![]() ![]() There is so much other stuff we would like to explore. There has been quite a resurgence in horror games the recent years and it feels cool to have been part of the start of that. I am not sure how much we contributed to it, but whatever we did, it is really amazing. With more and more horror games being set in first person mode (example Resident Evil 7), how proud do you feel given that Amnesia was one of the first few titles that revolutionized the horror genre with its first person camera? If The Dark Descent is a novel, then Justine is like an extra short story taking place in the same universe. The game has a story that is sort of a mix of Saw and Portal, and it also features perma death. It was made during a Portal 2 promotion where it was a released as a secret to be found. It is a small experimental game that takes 1 -2 hours to complete. For our readers who are unaware about this title, what can you tell us about it? You are also bringing a lesser known Amnesia title called Amnesia: Justine. I think that is one of the main reasons people might find it less scary. A Machine For Pigs lack these and is more straightforward. The Dark Descent is more focused on systems, like keeping your sanity and staying our of darkness, which adds a lot to the sense of stress. I think that is one of the main reasons people might find it less scary."Ī Machine For Pigs was scary in its own right but compared to the original, it’s generally considered less scary. " A Machine For Pigs lack these and is more straightforward. Did you guys managed to run it at 60fps on the PS4? What about the other two games? Will they run at 1080p?Ī Machine For Pigs might be 30 fps, because of some engine issues. ![]() Some annoying physics issues might force us to do 30fps on A Machine for Pigs. The Dark Descent and Justine will run 1080 and 60fps. Will the game at the very least run at 1080p and 60fps on it? So the game won’t feature any graphical improvements on the PS4. The PC game already supports a gamepad so we are just slightly tweaking that setup. What kind of control changes have you implemented in the PS4 version of Amnesia The Dark Descent? We also found a good team, Blitworks, to do the porting for us. And now, finally, after releasing SOMA, we figured we had both time and experience, so we went at it. We have tried to get it on consoles for quite a while, but always ran into problems or never had the time. Why are you bringing back this horribly scary game back on the PS4? The game launched way back on the PC in 2010. That is sorta how it came about! I also like to evoke emotions in our players, so I have to admit it was quite satisfying to terrify players. When that didn’t work, we had to do something drastic and we decided on making something like Penumbra (our previous games), but much scarier. It was supposed to be a sort of bite-sized horror game, similar in structure to Super Mario 64. Initially we had a very different game planned. Why did you scare our pants off with Amnesia The Dark Descent? I have always wanted to ask you this question. "We have tried to get it on consoles for quite a while, but always ran into problems or never had the time." GamingBolt spoke to Grip about his experience working on the game and whether Amnesia would be taking advantage of the PS4 in interesting ways. It will pack together The Dark Descent, A Machine for Pigs and the little known Amnesia: Justine into one terrifying package. PS4 players will finally get to see what the big deal is when The Amnesia Collection releases on November 22nd. However, anyone who’s ever had some kind of connection with the company’s works started with Amnesia. ![]() From there, Frictional would return with a sci-fi thriller/horror title called SOMA. His studio debuted their breakout horror title Amnesia: The Dark Descent before working with The Chinese Room on Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. ![]() Frictional Games founder and creative director Thomas Grip has had a rather interesting few years. ![]() ![]() Some boomerangs were not thrown at all, but were used in hand to hand combat by Indigenous Australians. There is evidence of the use of non-returning boomerangs by the Native Americans of California and Arizona, and inhabitants of South India for killing birds and rabbits. The oldest surviving Australian Aboriginal boomerangs come from a cache found in a peat bog in the Wyrie Swamp of South Australia and date to 10,000 BC.Īlthough traditionally thought of as Australian, boomerangs have been found also in ancient Europe, Egypt, and North America. Stencils and paintings of boomerangs also appear in the rock art of West Papua, including on Bird's Head Peninsula and Kaimana, likely dating to the Last Glacial Maximum, when lower sea levels led to cultural continuity between Papua and Arnhem Land in Northern Australia. Most boomerangs seen today are of the tourist or competition sort, and are almost invariably of the returning type.ĭepictions of boomerangs being thrown at animals, such as kangaroos, appear in some of the oldest rock art in the world, the Indigenous Australian rock art of the Kimberly region, which is potentially up to 50,000 years old. Tribal boomerangs may be inscribed or painted with designs meaningful to their makers. The smallest boomerang may be less than 10 centimetres (4 in) from tip to tip, and the largest over 180 cm (6 ft) in length. The weapon, thrown at 20 or 30 yards distance, twirled round in the air with astonishing velocity, and alighting on the right arm of one of his opponents, actually rebounded to a distance not less than 70 or 80 yards, leaving a horrible contusion behind, and exciting universal admiration.īoomerangs were, historically, used as hunting weapons, percussive musical instruments, battle clubs, fire-starters, decoys for hunting waterfowl, and as recreational play toys. the white spectators were justly astonished at the dexterity and incredible force with which a bent, edged waddy resembling slightly a Turkish scimytar, was thrown by Bungary, a native distinguished by his remarkable courtesy. The first recorded encounter with a boomerang by Europeans was at Farm Cove ( Port Jackson), in December 1804, when a weapon was witnessed during a tribal skirmish: ![]() One source asserts that the term entered the language in 1827, adapted from an extinct Aboriginal language of New South Wales, Australia, but mentions a variant, wo-mur-rang, which it dates to 1798. However, some may have wooden limbs tipped with iron or with lethally sharpened edges or with special double-edged and razor-sharp daggers known as kattari. Although valaris come in many shapes and sizes they are usually made of cast iron cast from moulds. The usual form of the Valari is two limbs set at an angle one thin and tapering, the other rounded as a handle. The Tamil valari variant, of ancient origin and mentioned in the Tamil Sangam literature "Purananuru", was one of these. They lack the aerofoil sections, are generally heavier and designed to travel as straight and forcefully as possible to the target to bring down game. Non-returning boomerangs, throwing sticks, valari, or kylies, are primarily used as weapons. ![]() Non-traditional, modern, competition boomerangs come in many shapes, sizes and materials. Although used primarily for leisure or recreation, returning boomerangs are also used to decoy birds of prey, thrown above the long grass to frighten game birds into flight and into waiting nets. ![]() Their typical L-shape makes them the most recognisable form of boomerang. A returning boomerang has two or more aerofoil section wings arranged so that when spinning they create unbalanced aerodynamic forces that curve its path into an ellipse, returning to its point of origin when thrown correctly. Returning boomerangs fly, and are examples of the earliest heavier-than-air human-made flight.Many people think only of the traditional Australian type, although today there are many types of more easily usable boomerangs, such as the cross-stick, the pinwheel, the tumble-stick, the Boomabird, and many other less common types.Īn important distinction should be made between returning boomerangs and non-returning boomerangs: Modern boomerangs used for sport may be made from plywood or plastics such as ABS, polypropylene, phenolic paper, or carbon fibre-reinforced plastics.īoomerangs come in many shapes and sizes depending on their geographic or tribal origins and intended function. Distribution of types of boomerangs in Australia prior to European contact, with modern state borders addedĪ boomerang is a throwing stick with aerodynamic properties, traditionally made of wood, but also of bone, horn, tusks and even iron. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() it would flourish more because more manufacturers would be selling more ships. also, saying that giving alphas access to all tech 1 ships would hurt the economy is a joke. When I checked ships in the market anything bigger than cruiser was golden and marked omega clone only. But their ships do have weapon slots for missiles and rockets, so who is teasing who? hehe He said, that Amarians don't use missiles so that's why, only factional weapons count.lol. I asked about ships and weapons and he said: " its factional, if the faction uses them they are available to you as an Alpha.' I mentioned that some ships are allowed missiles or launchers but as a Alpha I couldn't train them, one example is some Amar ships have missile launchers even destroyers, but as an Alpha I wasn't allowed to rain them there, so I left Amar for other races. Its like one dev I talked to when I started my Alpha account. ![]() Cruisers are OK but not as impressive as bigger ships, even if they aren't safe below. If I pay to go Omega, there's a 75% chance I'll go for tech 2 ships or better in the long haul, so why limit some tech 1 ships to Alphas, letting them have a BC or Battleship that basically isn't safe in low sec anyways is a tease, and would wet their appetite for something better. I do like paying Eve even as an Alpha, but it does seem odd to me that even among Tech 1 ships we are limited to smaller vessels. Those are some questions I got asked about in game, so thought ti would help to put them here for people to see. But like anything else I'm sure there are a few restrictions somewhere, so check first.Ĥ) Can I start my own Corporation as an Alpha? Not sure this isnt my thing so check first, it might be possible but I kind of doubt it.ĥ) Is there any time limit on being an Alpha clone? Dont think so I've had a character or two and even killed one off and restarted a new one, no time limit mentioned anywhere I can see. They can not own anything bigger than a cruiser, period.ģ) Can I be a free trader, yes mining and manufacturing are allowed, and they help the overall economy too. So here we go:ġ) are Alpha clones really free to play? Yes.but just like any other game they are restricted.Ģ) Can I own stations and battleships with an Alpha clone? No.Alphas are restricted to Tech 1 ships of their respected races. So I thought it needed explained a bit and brought the discussion here. OK, been doing my Alpha for a while now and got asked about it a few times in game. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() However, Tracker soon senses a cold wind blowing, and it soon begins to snow, so Tracker gets his wish after all. ![]() Porter's cake being ruined, when one of the penguins causes Marshall's ladder to spin wildly with Tracker on it, before Marshall regains control of it, while Tracker lands on the cake.

Once Ryder gets the call, he summons the pups to the Lookout, this being the first time all eight of the pups, including Everest and Tracker, head up the elevator, suit up, and report for duty, with Everest and Tracker lining up next to Marshall. Porter, and Mayor Goodway are preparing the stage, when Cap'n Turbot arrives with his performing penguins, but thanks to Mayor Humdinger and the Kitten Catastrophe Crew, who quickly make themselves scarce afterwards, the stage is in danger of collapsing, so Mayor Goodway has Chickaletta get her phone and call the PAW Patrol. After Skye fails to make it snow, Jake arrives and is asked by Everest to wash his truck, and soon Carlos and Tracker arrive, allowing Jake and Carlos to meet each other, along with Everest and Tracker meeting each other as well as the newest members of the PAW Patrol team. However, after Rubble lies to Tracker about how there will be snow, when the weather looks like it won't snow at all, the PAW Patrol face a difficult situation with fulfilling Tracker's wish to see snow. They soon get a call, revealing that Carlos and Tracker are on their way to enjoy the Snow Show and snowfall with the rest of the pups and Ryder. It's winter in Adventure Bay, and as Cap'n Turbot docks the Flounder at the beach and reveals a couple of penguins with him, at the Lookout, the pups, including Everest, are rehearsing a song for the Snow Show, but can't find a good final line for the song. ![]() ![]() Little Nightmares 2 is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S, Switch and Stadia.

In general, I really like YouTrack, but there's no way we can justify buying a license if one of our team members can't even log in.

The team member who is unable to log in has tried both Internet Explorer and Firefox, and they both exhibit the problem.
