	All the Year Round
		But competition for the new, unillustrated weekly proved fierce: 114 new magazines (many of them paying their contributors better) appeared in the same year as All the Year Round, and in the next few years a number of high-quality illustrated literary monthlies such as the Cornhill Magazine (founded in 1860).
		In addition, there was a marked increase of emphasis on foreign affairs in All the Year Round, partly due to Dickens's desire to support the cause of Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807-72) and Joseph Mazzini (1805-72) in the wars of Italian unification.
		Of the twenty-seven novels to appear in All the Year Round in the eleven years Dickens lived to edit it, six have so far escaped being bitten to death by the tooth of time: the two novels by Dickens, the three Collins contributed.

	CalendarHome.com - Leap year - Calendar Encyclopedia
		A leap year (or intercalary year) is a year containing an extra day or month in order to keep the calendar year in sync with an astronomical or seasonal year.
		Leap years (which keep the calendar in sync with the year) should not be confused with leap seconds (which keep clock time in sync with the day).
		This is a very good approximation to the mean tropical year, but because the vernal equinox tropical year is slightly longer, the Revised Julian calendar does not do as good a job as the Gregorian calendar of keeping the vernal equinox on or close to 21 March.

	Year Round Schooling (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Actually, year round schooling is more of an organizational change in the schools system rather than a full extension of their learning.

	TAY backcountry skiing: year-round backcountry skiers
		Twenty years ago I met a fellow, who I believe was one of the first owners of Coast Mountain Sports in Vancouver.
		I remember him saying that he skied all year and thinking that was someone who I could feel comfortable buying stuff from.A lot has changed since then, but I still think that it is pretty cool toÊbe able to say that I have skied every month of the year.
		Finally, in year 5, having gone through yet another summer of hopeless phone calls, e-mailing, and the sacrifice of leather telemark boots to pagan snow deities, I was faced with the tandem shut-down of two local 4wd roads which access late/early season ski areas.

	CATALYST, April 1997 Commentary: Year-round schooling
		While increasing the amount of time children are in class would be beneficial, the main goal of keeping schools open longer each day and throughout the year is to improve the delivery for academic instruction and to provide desperately needed flexibility to support families and communities.
		Staff at Schubert and Buckingham elementary schools point out that the 12-month calendar especially benefits children with disabilities as it accommodates the IEP (individual education plan) and also eliminates the cost of an extended-school-year program (the 10 weeks that children with disabilities must attend during the summer months).
		The commission goes on to say that restructured schools "are finding time by devoting more of their staff energy directly to classroom teaching, rather than to administration or management of special services.

		The biggest problem with this proposal to change 100% of elem schools to year round, is that it gives us all the impression that it somehow solves the problem.
