	Year zero - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dionysius used the Latin zero in the very same table wherein he introduced his anno Domini era, but in a neighboring column—it was the first epact of the 19-year cycle used to calculate Easter (see the nineteen year cycle of Dionysius).
		Had there been a year zero, which might be considered part of the first millennium, then 1 January 2000 would indeed mark 2000 years since the year numbering datum and be the start of the third millennium.
		Use of Astronomical year numbering cannot be used to support year 2000 as the first year of the 3rd millennium because the year zero (which corresponds to 1 BC) is still not considered part of the first millennium AD.

	Year Zero (political notion) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term Year Zero, applied to the takeover of Cambodia in 1975 by the Khmer Rouge, is an analogy to the Year One of the French Revolutionary Calendar.
		During the French Revolution, after the abolition of the French monarchy (September 20, 1792), the National Convention instituted a new calendar and declared the beginning of the Year I. The Khmer Rouge takeover of Phnom Penh was rapidly followed by a series of drastic revolutionary policies vastly exceeding those of the French Reign of Terror.
		Naomi Klein argues that the U.S. policies subsequent to the 2003 invasion of Iraq constitute a "year zero" strategy.

	'New Millennium': 2000 or 2001?
		The first year of his first cycle he also set in the year preceding the one he called 1 AD Both his benchmark (incarnation) and what he counted (19-year cycles) are set one year before 1 AD.
		It is clear that he thought of 1 AD as the second year of his count in the same way that we think of 1 a.m.
		Zero came from the East centuries later, so the lack of 0 AD may mean only that zero was not available.

	The New Millennium Began with the Year 2000
		Their reasoning is that the first hundred years are numbered 1 through 100, the second hundred years are numbered 101 through 200, and so forth, so that the twentieth century goes from 1901 to 2000, and the twenty-first century does not start until 2001 January 1.
		The Romans did not have a zero; their zeroless Roman numerals hampered the development of Roman mathematics, for they needed a different symbol (C, X, I) for each tens place because otherwise "I" could mean one, ten, or a hundred.
		It was not until the Arabic notion of zero and of putting a zero in a place that does not hold anything came to the Western world before it could advance technologically.

	Year Zero
		To declare the current year to be year zero is too millennial, if that is not too much of a mixed metaphor.
		When the catholic church/Roman Empire declared year 1 AD they did not declare the current year, it was a year in the past.
		I have subsequently decided that although 1859 is the ideal symbolic year zero it is not going to happen, and there is now a better year zero on the horizon.

	Legion XXIV - New Millennium and Why No Year Zero
		Our current numbering of years was instituted around 526 AD, by the Roman and Christian Monk Dionysius Exiguus, aka "Dennis the Little"; based on his estimate of the year when Christ (aka Joshua bar Joseph) had been born.
		Dionysius, however, was off by a few years in his calculations; as the postulated date of Christ’s Birth is now considered to have occurred on April 17, 6 BC, about two years prior to the death of Herod, Governor of Judea, in 4 BC, as documented in the Holy Scriptures.
		The year 1600 was a leap year in both the "Julian" and "Gregorian (reformed)" calendars; but, 1700, 1800 and 1900 were leap years only in the un-reformed Julian calendar.

	Comprehensive Year Zero FAQ
		The Jewish calendar counts years from an estimate of the date of the Creation of the world (now widely regarded as not close) and is known as an Anno Mundi reckoning.
		The Gregorian calendar counts years from a traditional estimate of the birth of Jesus (a rough estimate, at that).
		This completes a year numbering system that places their savior at the meridian of time but also fixes a flat, linear timeline stretching to infinity in either direction.

		As a result, the year 1001 was the beginning of the next millennium.

	Year Zero for the Archaeology of Iraq - Iraq Museum International (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		There is, nevertheless, wide scope for the formulation of a new archaeology of Iraq in terms of a framework for future practice, and this paper represents a tentative step in that direction.
		The point here is merely to hint that despite academic and public avowals of the importance of the Mesopotamian past in global terms, there is evidence to suggest that this significance is not fully appreciated in quarters where it may matter greatly.
		In per capita terms, each year one new book is translated into Arabic for every 600,000 of the world's 200 million Arabic speakers, while one new book is translated into Spanish for every 3000 of the world's 300 million Spanish speakers.

	The Zero Year Presidential Curse - Might Tragedy Strike?
		Yet, for zero years with 7 events out of a possible 8, the chances of it happening again are a whopping 87.5 percent!
		From 2001 (the year of the attacks) there are nine years left to 2010 (the apex of the pyramid and 'One').
		Reagan, by the way, did not make a quick recovery but remained in hospital confinement for almost a year -- his 'recovery' was long-term -- perhaps a year; he was not able to function properly and Nancy ran a 'front' recovery until he was able to get onto his feet, notwithstanding later bouts of Alzheimer's.

	t r u t h o u t - Naomi Klein \| Baghdad Year Zero
		I had traveled to Iraq a year after the war began, at the height of what should have been a construction boom, but after weeks of searching I had not seen a single piece of heavy machinery apart from tanks and humvees.
		On the other side was the "Year Zero" camp, those who believed that Iraq was so contaminated that it needed to be rubbed out and remade from scratch.
		The Iraqi Year Zeroists made natural allies for the White House neoconservatives: Chalabi's seething hatred of the Baathist state fit nicely with the neocons' hatred of the state in general, and the two agendas effortlessly merged.

	Kinoeye \| Albanian film : Fatmir Koci's Tirana Year Zero
		Fatmir Koçi's Tirana Year Zero (2001), which earlier this month won the main prize in the international competition at the 42nd Thessaloniki film festival, goes further than that and has these subjects at its core, and the director describes the film as "a call to the Albanian people not to abandon their native land."
		The fact that young people responded to the Tirana Year Zero very well during its two-week run in Tirana suggests more that Koçi's observational eye is not at fault and that some sections of Albanian society simply don't want to look at themselves in the mirror.
		Tirana Year Zero is not just a film for Albanians, though, as its selection to play in competition at Venice this August and its main prize from Thessaloniki testify.

	Potlatch - Year Zero (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		This will be the final installment of the "Potlatch Year Zero" weblog - at around 5 O'Clock this morning, pacific time, the north pole reached it's maximum degree of tilt away from the sun and began it's inexorable journey back.
		And yet, all those zeros look just the tiniest bit apocalyptic up there on my calendar, and the symbolism of this perfectly normal number representing "the future" has been building since before I was born.
		This lack of a year zero throws off every intervening century (and millenium) by one year, which is why the year 2000 is, despite the hype, the last year of the current millenium and not the first year of the next.

	Year Zero: The Urns
		The firefighters, who postponed their memorial service into next year so Mayor Giuliani could not attend, believed that the city was in an unholy hurry to rebuild the site and get the businesses back.
		Turning Ground Zero into what the firemen called a "scoop and dump" operation meant that many remains would be found at the dumping ground, at the Staten Island landfill, if at all.
		A young Japanese widow, who spoke difficult English, stayed a few moments after receiving the urn and flag to tell us how her four year old son was still waiting for his father to come home.

		Quote of the week: "A year ago, I did give the speech from the carrier, saying that we had achieved an important objective, that we'd accomplished a mission, which was the removal of Saddam Hussein.
		I've quoted Vietnam War historian Marilyn Young before on this, but in the realm of analogies, we now do seem to be experiencing Iraq as, in her phrase, "Vietnam on crack cocaine." It's remarkable actually and, if human lives weren't at stake and so much misery not being caused, it would certainly be comic.
