HAPPY LEAP YEAR
every four years (sorta)
Why is 2012 a leap year? Which years are leap years any way? Can you
tell me when the next leap year is? How do you know if a given year is a
leap year or not? What makes a given year a leap year?
Most years have 365 days but leap years have 366 days in them. The
extra day, February 29, makes up for the difference between a 365 day
calendar and the earth’s actual rotation around the sun. Leap years
happen 97 years out of every 400, not once every 4 years as is commonly
assumed. This means that years that are divisible by 4 aren’t
necessarily leap years.
Leap years are divisible by 4 unless
the year is divisible by 100 and is also divisible by 400. Therefore
1600 and 2000 were leap years and 2400 and 2800 will be too. The years
that aren’t leap years are called “common years”. The National Maritime
Museum has more information on leap years.
Expressed in pseudocode:
If ((year modulo 4 is 0) and (year modulo 100 is not 0)) or (year modulo 400 is 0) Then
leapYear = true
Else
leapYear = false
End if
This is a list of all the leap years in the 20th and 21st centuries:
1904, 1908, 1912, 1916, 1920, 1924, 1928, 1932, 1936, 1940, 1944, 1948,
1952, 1956, 1960, 1964, 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996,
2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, 2024, 2028, 2032, 2036, 2040, 2044,
2048, 2052, 2056, 2060, 2064, 2068, 2072, 2076, 2080, 2084, 2088, 2092,
2096
Not everyone has a birthday every year. If you were born
on Leap Day your birthday only comes every 4 years. Those born on
February 29th are called leaplings. Who knew?
Who was born on
Leap Day? Who's a leapling? Ja Rule (1976), Tony Robbins (1960), Dennis
Farina (1944), Tempest Storm (1928), Al Rosen (1924), Dinah Shore
(1916), Dee Alexander Brown II (1908), Jimmy Dorsey (1904), Gioacchino
Rossini (1792), Ann Lee (1736), and John Byrom (1692).
Statistically, about one in 1,461 births are a leapling; there are an estimated 200,000 in the US and 4.1 million worldwide.
Sadie Hawkins Day is synonymous with February 29th, the day when women
can ask men to marry them (according to Li’l Abner). St. Patrick bowed
to St. Bridget’s complaints and set Feb 29th as the day when could ask
men to marry them. Queen Margaret in Scotland decreed the same in 1288.
February 29 is called an intercalary day. Anthony TX claims to be the Leap Year Capital of the World. Texans...
In 1504 Christopher Columbus used his knowledge of a lunar eclipse that
night to convince Native Americans in Jamaica to provide him with
supplies. In 1960 the first Playboy Club opened in Chicago. In 1968 Dr.
Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovers the first pulsar.

Mr Nookayya Release Date
Rocking
Star Manchu Manoj’s belated movie Mr Nookayya is gearing up for release
in next week. Earlier this movie was slated for release on February.
But the post production work is taking some time and hence it will take a
while to hit the screens.
The latest report
says that Mr Nookayya release is confirmed on March 8th. The audio of
this film was released in the month of January and is catching up with
the music lovers. Yuvan Shankar Raja is scoring music for this Youthful entertainer.
Asadyudu fame Ani
kanneganti is the director of this film. Kriti Kharbanda and Sana Khan
are the female leads in this film. DS Rao is producing the movie under
Shailendra movies banner.
Ravi Teja Again With Gunasekhar
Hero Ravi Teja has been known for working with
anyone who has shown promise as a director. In between, he suffered few
jolts and then there was a talk about the Mass Maharaja laying a
condition that those who approach him with full bound script will get the first chance to work with him.
However, it appears that even that didn’t work. The reason for this
is the latest release ‘Nippu’ which bombed miserably, under the
direction of Gunasekhar. But then, life seems to be coming a full circle
to Ravi Teja as he has begun giving a second chance to those directors who brought flops to him.
There is news that Ravi
Teja is teaming up with Parasuram for a new project. This has given rise
to the talk among many that Ravi Teja would be giving another chance to
Gunasekhar as well and see if the ‘Nippu’ blunder can be rectified. For
now, it is heard that Gunasekhar has gone into self-introspection mode.
Let us see how it goes.
Nani's Career In Risk After 'Eega'
Sentiments run strong in the
Tollywood circle and here is an interesting belief about the famous
director S S Rajamouli. And this has led to the talk that the career of Nani is at risk due to the belief. Well, whosoever has worked for the first time with Rajamouli, he is sure to end up with a flop in subsequent flick.
Some principal characters
take lot of time to comeback. Sunil had scored hit with ‘Maryada
Ramanna’ and it is followed by the biggest dud of his career ‘KSD
Appalaraju’. The same happened with Junior NTR after his super hit movie
‘Yama Donga’ with Rajamouli. He ran into a string of flops.
For Ravi Teja after his super hit movie 'Vikramarkudu' and it is followed by biggest
