Ever wonder how Leap Year is handled in other calendars?

Also --
from the Wikipedia Leap Year article
The term leap year probably comes from the fact that a fixed date in the Gregorian calendar normally advances one day of the week from one year to the next, but the day of the week in the 12 months following the leap day (from March 1 through February 28 of the following year) will advance two days due to the extra day, thus leaping over one day in the week.[2][3] For example, Christmas Day (December 25) fell on a Tuesday in 2012, Wednesday in 2013, Thursday in 2014, and Friday in 2015, but then leapt over Saturday to fall on a Sunday in 2016.

According to Statistics Canada, that is early for the modern era, but I think it was pretty much the average back then.

We finally figured out the problem with the battery in my wife's car.
It was new 10 days ago, but it kept going dead.
It had been installed incorrectly, and the positive terminal had worked loose
Until April 3, all of Italy will be armored. It will be possible to move from one municipality to another just for work or demonstrated irrevocable needs. Our economy will suffer a serious blow, but this sacrifice is necessary and you have to be patient.
