Quote from Answers.com :"The only difference between "BC/AD" and "BCE/CE" is that the term Common Era does not use the religious titles for Jesus ("Lord" and "http://www.answers.com/topic/christ-9") that are explicit in "anno Domini" and "before Christ"." So therefore the answer is 563 AD.
The very short answer is that most estates will go to the surviing spouse and children. The portion of the estate may be determined by the length of the marriage (how much did the estate grow during the three years, for example). This is determined by the judge, but having a good lawyer is critical. A wife is protected and yes, she is likely to get half the estate, even if they had been married for one day.

What year did Prohibition start in Ontario?
The issue is a complex one because the 'Dunkin Act' of 1864, and later Canada Temperance Act of 1878, allowed for municipalities to hold referendums and prohibit the local sale of liquor (although liquor could still legally be mail-ordered or prescribed by doctors). In Ontario, the Ontario Temperance Act of 1916 enacted prohibition as of that year and an Order in Council by the Government of Canada made the manufacture of spirits anywhere in the Dominion illegal in March 1918 (however this only lasted twenty-one months, ending in December 1919). For the peoples of the First Nations and those legally labeled as "Indians" they were barred from alcohol under various legislation -- but again an exact date for the start of prohibition for all of Ontario is difficult to obtain.
Hydroplaning commonly occurs in wet or slippery conditions that a driver is not commonly prepared for. The most dangerous time for driving is 10 minutes after a light rain, and a car hydroplanes due commonly to speeds over 35 mph. The tred in the tire cannot scatter the wet surface of the road quick enough and causes the front tires to skate over a thin film of water, resulting in momentary loss of brakes, steering, and control. When you realize your vehicle is hydroplaning, especially if it's the first time this has happened to you, it can be really terrifying. However, the most important thing to remember is to stay calm. Panicking can result in deadly consequences for both you and the people you share the road with. Ease you foot off the accelerator and firmly hold the steering wheel, steering in the direction of the road. Drive slowly to prevent skidding, and rather than pressing the brakes, pump the brakes slowly. Ways to prevent hydroplaning are simple, such as driving slower in inclement weather conditions, rotating your tires and having the tread checked regularly, and making sure you drive carefully around curves in the road. If possible, follow "dry tracks". Dry tracks are made in rain or snow by the car in front of you as their tires leave behind tracks that are safer to travel on.
Do adhiki masss added to every third year in the India calendar?
Concept of ADHIK MASS in in Lunar Calender-
The lunar calendar is based on the moon's rotation around the Earth. The lunar month corresponds to one complete rotation of Moon around the Earth. Since this period of rotation of moon around the earth varies, the duration of lunar month also varies. On average, the lunar month has about 29 ½ days. In addition to moon's rotation around the earth, the lunar year is based on earth's rotation around the Sun. In general, the lunar year has twelve lunar months of approximately 354 days, thus making it shorter by about 11 days than the solar year. However, the lunar calendar accounts for this difference by adding an extra lunar month about once every 2½ years. This extra lunar month is known as the "Adhik Mas" in India (Adhik means extra and the Mas means month). The concept of placing of the extra month, meaning why and when should it be inserted between certain lunar months is as follow.

Why is February 29th chosen to be the leap day over December 32?
February is short, so adding an extra day doesn't ever make it longer than any other month.
February is short because a Caesar, Augustus, stole a day from it so his month (August, respectively) would be 31 days instead of the original 30. When the need for leap year was discovered it was only reasonable to add it back to the shortest month of February. Also, in the Roman calendar February was the last month, so it was also reasonable to add the leap day onto the last month of the year.
