In the Gregorian calendar, February consist of 28 or 29 days. But three times in history, there has been instances where in some countries, the month has 30 days.
Swedish territory (which then included Finland), plans to replace the Julian calendar into Gregorian calendar began in 1700 to abolish leap day for 40 years. Therefore, 1700 is not a leap year in Sweden, but the years 1704 and 1708 are leap years beyond the plan. This leads to the Swedish calendar be a day faster than the Julian calendar but still 10 days behind the Gregorian calendar. Confusion is reduced when in the year 1712, two days intercalary added, has resulted in the 30 February. The same day in the Julian calendar February 29 and 11 March in the Gregorian calendar. Substitution of Sweden to the Gregorian calendar finally done in 1753.
In 1929, the Soviet Union introduced a Soviet revolutionary calendar in which every month has 30 days and the remaining 5 or 6 days does not form part of any month and a day off. Therefore, the years 1930 and 1931 have a turnover February 30 but was canceled in 1932 so again following the normal calendar.
Sacrobosco, a scholar of the 13th century claim that the Julian calendar February had 30 days in leap years from 44 BC to 8 AD when Emperor Augustus memepersingkat February to August, which is called by its name has a length equal to the month of July (which named after his predecessor Julius Caesar). Yet there is no historical evidence about it and most likely this is just an old myth.

The Heaven is Dodola Island
Dumped like heaven to earth. The island was named Dodola heavenly. Located on the island of Morotai, North Maluku, Dodola Island consists of two islands. Pulau Besar and Pulau Dodola Dodola Small.Kala low tide, connects the two islands by white sand stretching. A pattern seemed magical, distant streaks along the sand connector. Strokes that arise due to the wind and waves. From the Great Dodola it took about five minutes walk to reach the Dodola Small.
In addition to connecting the two islands of sand, sea water receded revealing the reefs full of seaweed. Conversely, at high tide, Dodola was divorced into two islands, separated by sea water like a strait.
Dodola Island fits into snorkeling and diving locations. But as a place to simply look chic beach sunbathing was so compelling. Be sure to swim because the water is so blue it is tempting myself to plunge into the warm sea water.
How women who primp, earth Dodola dress with white powder. Yes, white sand on Dodola very soft, almost similar to the powder or flour. Dodola is a beautiful virgin. Nan uninhabited island deserted. Only the occasional fisherman who stopped off fatigue.
I had met two fishermen who were fishing at sea. They took a break on the island of Dodola. Typical or traditional motorized boat parked on the beach Moluccas. If you want to come to the beautiful island, you can ride Ketingting.
"Fifty thousand each way," so said one fisherman. You can also hire a speedboat to reach the island Dodola. However, motorized ride while experiencing a rush of course give the impression they fished deeper.
In Small Dodola absolutely no human touch. Unlike the Big Island Dodola which has a kind of wooden pier and building villas. However, the villa is left untreated and neglected. The district government is planning to develop the island as a tourist attraction complete with lodging right on the beach.
District Morotai cluster itself consists of more than thirty islands. Most are small islands are uninhabited. Morotai renowned as a historic site that played a major role in World War II. Japanese and allied forces had fought on the island. Hence, both camps have headquartered.
Until now, the remaining historic relics can still be seen clearly on the seabed. Therefore, activities like diving on Morotai combines nautical tourism with the tourism history. Word, the original diver Morotai, said, there are 13 points of existing marine heritage.
"The five locations the existing documentation. The rest are still in the form of folklore, so it has not been proven," said Firman. The sites in Wawama, Totodaku, Mira, Buhobuho, and sea between Dodola with Kelerai.
"In Wawama and Totodaku, no allied aircraft and jeeps. If in Mira no shipwreck. In Buhohubo and near Dodola no fighter," he said. Word is determined to continue to dive for sea uncovers Morotai which holds the remains of World War II.
