How many days till spirng 2010 as of February 1 2010?

March 20th is the calendar first day of spring. Add 28 days of February to the 20 days of March. You get 48 days. You can make it 47 if you don't count the actual day of March 20th. You can get this information on calendars that record the holidays and seasons. Some calendars will list the lunar cycle too.

Why does February have 28 days?

The short answer is that we inherited the calendar from the Romans who originally had calendars of ten months starting in March (spring), the winter days being simply "off calendar." When the winter months were created, there were twelve months: 7 with 29, 1 with 28, and 4 with 31 to make 355 days. As this threw the calendar off related to the observed seasons, a 13th "leap month" or "intercalary" would be added between February and March which had 27 days, and February was reduced to either 23 or 24. The reforms of 45 BC led to the Julian calendar with the same number of days in each month as currently observed. February inherited the intercalary day (February 29), every 4 years with some exceptions. Because there are 365.25 days in a year and every 4 years that is a leap year an extra day is added to February.


Wouldn't the calendar make more sense with 12 months of 28 days and 1 months of 29 days instead of 31 in 7 30 in 5 and 1 with 28?

Perhaps, but the issue is mostly that it would be complicated to change everyone's calendar to that system. Similarly, some people argue that the metric system of measurement is better than the US and Imperial systems, but it would be very complicated to migrate all materials. Imagine having to replace all rulers, all textbooks, all software... If it was easy to change to a new system, we would have had a perfect calendar a long time ago.

Explain the type of calendar used in project management?

Microsoft Office Project 2003 uses the following types of calendars to determine resource availability and the way tasks are scheduled: Base calendar A base calendar is used as a template that the project calendar, resource calendars, or task calendars are based on. Three base calendars are provided with Project: Standard (8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. weekdays, with an hour off for lunch) 24-Hours Night Shift NOTE Only someone with administrative privileges (for example, your project management administrator) for Project Server 2003 can change the base calendar used for all projects within the organization. Project calendar The calendar used to designate the default work schedule for all tasks in a project. Resource calendar For each resource you enter, Project creates individual resource calendars based on the settings in the Standard calendar. You can modify those calendars on the Working Time tab of the Resource Information dialog box. You can also create and assign resource calendars for individual resources or resource groups to indicate specific working hours; for example, you can assign a resource to the swing shift or night shift. You can edit resources' calendars to indicate nonworking time, such as vacations and leaves of absence. NOTE To make changes to schedule information for an enterprise resource, you must first check out the resource. Task calendar Tasks are scheduled based on the working times in the project calendar; however, you can customize the working times from the project calendar in a task calendar if you have tasks to be completed at different times, especially tasks that are independent of resources. A task calendar is especially useful for equipment that runs and completes tasks throughout nights or weekends, which is designated as nonworking time in the project calendar. Project calculates when a resource and task are scheduled to work by using the calendars in the following order: project calendar, resource calendar, and task calendar. If a task has no resources and no task calendar, it's scheduled according to the project calendar. If a task has resources assigned and no task calendar, it's scheduled according to the resource calendars. You can set the task calendar to ignore the resource calendars if you need to schedule a task during a nonworking time for a resource. In the Task Name field, click the task with the task calendar that you want to override the resource calendars of any assigned resources. Click Task Information , and then click the Advanced tab. Select the Scheduling ignores resource calendars check box to have the task calendar override all applicable resource calendars. NOTE The Project Working Times side pane provides an easy way to set the project's working times. On the Project Guide toolbar, click Tasks. Click Define general working times, and then follow the instructions that appear in the side pane.
