A leap year is a year containing one extra day in order to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical or seasonal year. Typically once every four years, the exceptions can make this tricky to determine.

How to take of Alice dupont mandevilla plant for the winter so it blooms next year?

I live in a cold region and I always take my least hardy plants inside.

I keep them in a cool place, out of direct sun.

I keep them on the dry side, only adding water when necessary.

They will drop their leaves, and look rather sad, but the root will still be

viable, for putting the plant out the following summer.

Do hyperopic eyes continue to get incrementally worse every year beyond one's mid-twenties?

It all depends on the amount of hyperopia present ie. The greater the hyperopia present the more likely a prescription increase.This is due to a natural decreasing of accommodation(focussing power) from the teen years. If hyperopia is low to moderate there is a good chance that the eye will naturally be able to accommodate through the hyperopia and give good or even excellent distance vision. As we age and specifically when we ALL reach our 40s the accommodation available to us is dimininshing like never before. Emmetropic eyes (those with no refractive error)will have difficulty with near vision due to this decline as more accommodation is required for near tasks and therefore plus lenses will be required to aid near focus. This is called presbyopia and is sometimes incorrectly refered to as long/farsightedness. Those of us with hyperopia will have a harder time as we need to accommodate at all distances and with demand already high on the focussing mechanism for distance vision the required accommodation will need to be supplemented with plus lenses for close work to start with, eventually needing a plus correction for distance too. The increase in prescription from 40 onwards is often regular and often results in bifocals being prescribed for hyperopic presbyopes. Initially in many cases the lenses for hyperopia are worn for near tasks only. Although if worn for distance it is possible for the eyes to relax into to them and any latent hyperopia present can become manifest sooner and thus reliance on the glasses is earlier. This could cause a prescription increse. Some people on the other hand don't wear a correction when they should even if they are getting eyestrain and suffering some discomfort. These are people who until their 40s had great eyesight and suddenly find that they have worsening vision. Their belief that once they succumb to glasses they will be reliant on them is probably accurate but the old habits of accommodation through hyperopia die hard and therefore they prefer to blink squint and take pain killers to combat their hyperopia.It also makes them very short tempered!

How a century has seventy six ordinary and twenty four leap years?

The years divided by 100 are not leap years unless these are divisible by 400.

So 19th century has only 24 leap years but 21st century has 25 as year 2000 was a leap year.

How many leap years are there between 1980 and 2011?

Leap years are those years which are divisible by 4 EXCEPT for centuries when the century must be divisible by 400; they occur every four years (except possible when a century ends).

2000 IS divisible by 400 so it was a leap year.

As 1980 was a leap year, by subtracting 1980 from the current year, dividing by 4 and ignoring any remainder, the number of leap years after 1980 is found.

(2011 - 1980) ÷ 4 = 31 ÷ 4 = 7 r 3 → 7 leap years after 1980

→ There were 8 leap years in 1980-2011, which were 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008

(These are also the years of the Summer Olympics.)

What is the law concerning a 14 year old 15 in a month and a half to have a nonsexual relationship with someone who is 19 4 and a half year age difference in NJ?

The number might not seem that large to you right now...but you really don't have anything in common with a 19 year old. You can't even stay out late, go to a club, or buy a pack of cigarrettes. You need to be thinking about what it is he wants with you? I mean, its pretty pitiful for a 19 year old who could date someone his age or older (legally) to want to mess with a young person who hasn't even hit sweet 16 yet. Look, you're not missing out on anything. You don't see it now because you are not thinking with your head, you are feeling with your desire (not even your heart). Do yourself a favor, dump the child molester and kick it with some young men your own age!!! Have fun while your young becasue once you hit 18, you HAVE to assume adult responsibility for the rest of your life!!! By the way, when your parents find out...he's going to jail!
