The Sumerians created the first calendar by recording the movements of the moon and stars on clay tablets stored in libraries. They realized a lunar year was too short, so added an extra month every 3-4 years called a "leap month". The calendar was important to Mesopotamians as it helped them know when floods would occur and when to plant crops, as well as paying taxes and attending festivals. The uses of the calendar, such as paying taxes and attending festivals, were crucial as they let people know important upcoming dates.

The Mayan Calendar
The Mayan calendar consisted of multiple dating systems used by the ancient Mayans, including the Calendar Round, Long Count Calendar, and Lunar Series. The Mayans were skilled astronomers and mathematicians who used glyphs and observations of the sky, including the sun, moon, and planet Venus, to track time and develop their complex calendars. Their calendars gave structure to religious and cultural events and predicted astronomical phenomena like the 2012 phenomenon associated with the Long Count Calendar.
Mayan calendar explained
The Mayan calendar, also known as the Long Count, is a complex system used by the Maya to track time based on astronomical observations and astrological significance. It contains three main elements - a base date of August 11, 3114 BC, grouping time into multiples of 13 and 20 like the 260-day cycle, and an astrological component. The Long Count precisely measures time in cycles, with the current cycle ending on December 21, 2012 when the winter solstice aligns with the Milky Way, an important date in Mayan mythology marking the end of the current world age and the precession cycle of around 25,695 years.

The Mayan calendar predicted that the world would undergo major changes by December 21, 2012. The Mayans used a complex calendar system of 260-day cycles and 365-day years to track astronomical events and seasons. Some believe this calendar indicates that 2012 marked the end of the current world age and the beginning of a new cycle of time.History of astrology
The Babylonians are credited with developing the earliest forms of astrology over 2,000 years ago as a way to predict seasonal changes and celestial events. They introduced astrology to the Greeks, who embraced it as a science and spread it throughout the world. Originally used for agriculture and weather prediction, astrology evolved to include predicting natural disasters, wars, and providing counsel to rulers. The zodiac developed in ancient Egypt and was adopted by Babylonians, who assigned 12 constellations and their associated animals/figures to the progression of the seasons and months it takes the sun to return to its original position. Astrologers believe the sun, moon, and five known planets have distinct powers and influence areas of life and personality traits
Traditional astronomy
Ancient cultures used astronomy for agriculture, religion, and timekeeping. Calendars were based on the lunar cycles and used to track months and seasons. In Mesopotamia, calendars were recorded using cuneiform writing and depicted images from daily life. Sites like Stonehenge used the rising and setting of the sun and moon to mark the passage of time. By determining azimuths and celestial alignments at different locations, ancient people could closely track the seasons and days of the year, crucial for their civilizations. The most influential astronomical model was Ptolemy's geocentric system from the 2nd century AD, which explained planetary retrograde motion and remained the dominant view of the universe for over 1500 years.
Calendars in the Sky
This document provides an overview of ancient calendars and how they were based on astronomical cycles of the sun, moon, and stars. It discusses key features of early calendars like the Egyptian, Julian, and Gregorian calendars. It also summarizes lunar calendars like the Islamic and lunisolar calendars like the Babylonian and Hebrew calendars. The document explores how calendars have evolved over time to account for the irregularities in astronomical cycles and seasonal changes.
Observational Hebrew Year of Moses
The document discusses methods for determining the start of the Hebrew calendar year based on solar observations as practiced in Moses' time. It describes how the vernal equinox and new moons could be used to mark the beginning of months and years by observing the sun's alignment at certain locations like the Temple Mount. Ancient structures like pyramids and obelisks that were aligned with solar events provide evidence this was a common practice in Egyptian culture during Moses' era. Maintaining a lunisolar calendar requires occasionally adding months to synchronize it with the solar year.
Mayan Calendar
Here is a comparison of the main features of the Hebrew and Gregorian calendars:
Hebrew Calendar:
- Lunar calendar based on the cycles of the moon
- Months are 29 or 30 days alternately, to keep up with the lunar cycles
- An extra month is added every 2-3 years to synchronize it with the solar year
- Starts the new year (Rosh Hashanah) in autumn around September
- Months are named (e.g. Tishrei, Heshvan) instead of numbered
- Important for determining Jewish holidays and festivals
Gregorian Calendar:
- Solar calendar based on the tropical year (time it takes Earth to orbit the sun)
- Months are
About time
The document discusses the history and cultural variations of timekeeping. It describes how early humans first began to measure time based on natural cycles like days, lunar months, and seasons. It then explains how different ancient cultures like the Egyptians, Babylonians, Chinese, and Mayans developed their own calendars and timekeeping methods based on their observations, religions, and needs. The document also discusses the development of mechanical clocks in medieval Europe and the eventual adoption of the Gregorian calendar.
2 bookend model
The document discusses differing views on when the lunar month begins - at the conjunction or sighting of the first crescent moon. It notes problems with views that the month begins and ends on the day of conjunction, as this would result in months of 30-31 days rather than the required 29-30. It also presents evidence that the month historically ended at conjunction, and proposes a "bookend model" using both conjunction and crescent sightings to accurately determine the first day of the month.

This document discusses calendars and how they relate to culture and society. It provides definitions of culture and calendars, and explains how different cultures track time using solar calendars, lunar calendars, and lunisolar calendars. Singapore recognizes holidays from various religious traditions through its calendar, which is reflected in its multicultural society. Movable festivals like Chinese New Year shift from year to year depending on lunar cycles and seasons. Calendars aim to synchronize astronomical cycles but require intercalation to harmonize mismatches between whole numbers and irrational periods of time.
The Hebrew Calendar: It's About Time
The document discusses various ancient calendars including the Egyptian, Julian, Gregorian, Islamic, Babylonian, and Hebrew calendars. It explains that most calendars were based on lunar, solar, or lunisolar astronomical cycles and notes the challenges of representing fractional relationships between months, days, and years. The document then provides more details on specific calendars, how they addressed issues like drift over time, and how some like the Hebrew calendar evolved from a real-time observational system to a calculated system.

Astronomical event before the advent of telescope
- Ancient Babylonian and Egyptian civilizations systematically observed and recorded the motions of the sun, moon, and planets without telescopes. They noted the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and its rising and setting points varied over the course of a year.
- They observed the moon's changing appearance over 29.5 days in its phases from a thin crescent to a full circular disk. Lunar eclipses where the Earth casts its shadow on the moon were also noticed.
- Constellations were patterns of visible stars that helped with navigation, timekeeping of calendars, and recognizing stars. Five planets - Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn - could be seen without telescopes

Part 2 of - Where Did Our Calendar Come From?
What do ancient prophecies, modern scientists, spiritual leaders and mystics tell us about this amazing TIME? They say humanity is at a critical mass turning point. As change accelerates to blinding speed, we are offered a choice and a quantum leap. They say ‘NOW is the TIME.’ How can we learn and prepare for the coming changes?
Pinto mayas
The Mayas were an ancient civilization in Mesoamerica that developed an advanced calendar system and conducted detailed astronomical observations using structures aligned with celestial events. They recorded their scientific knowledge, including accurate tables of Venus and lunar movements, in codices like the Dresden Codex. The Mayas built observatories and platforms aligned with solar and planetary alignments, demonstrating sophisticated timekeeping and astronomical skills.
A case study on Gregorian Calendar
The Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar that is currently used worldwide. It was introduced in 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII as a modification of the Julian calendar to correct its small error in specifying the tropical year. The Gregorian calendar averages 365.2425 days per year via a rule that 3 years out of every 400 will not be leap years, keeping its drift from the vernal equinox at approximately 1 day every 3,030 years. It consists of 12 months with 28-31 days in a common year and 29 days in February of a leap year, which occurs when the year is divisible by 4, except for centennial years not divisible by 400.
Twin Birthdays: Bringing two calendars together
The document summarizes the significance of the birthdays of the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh falling on the 1st and 2nd day, respectively, of the month of Muharram in the Islamic lunar calendar. It explains that while the Islamic lunar calendar is shorter than the Gregorian solar calendar, the births occurred exactly one and two lunar cycles after the new year, highlighting their spiritual station. The proximity of their birthdays at the start of the lunar cycle and Islamic new year, when fighting is forbidden, fulfills prophecies of twin manifestations ushering in a new religion of peace and justice.
Astronomical basis of Indian festivals
The document discusses the astronomical basis of Indian festivals. It explains that many Indian festivals are timed according to the lunar calendar and movements of the sun and moon. The Vikrami lunar-solar calendar is used to determine the dates of festivals like Diwali, Dussehra, and Holi by identifying the tithi (lunar day) that falls on or near equinoxes and solstices. Festivals like Mahashivratri are celebrated on specific lunar days that occur near the end of the annual cycle, helping to track the passage of time according to astronomical observations.
Mayan Achievements Essay
The Mayan civilization flourished from around 300 BCE to 900 CE, known as the Classic Period. During this time, the Mayans made remarkable achievements in mathematics, astronomy, calendars, and architecture. They invented the first writing system in the Americas and had an understanding of concepts like zero. While the Mayans declined after 900 CE, recent research has uncovered three main factors that likely contributed to their collapse: deforestation and climate change, overpopulation, and internal and external conflicts between Mayan city-states.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Calendar
- 1. Beltran Ramirez E-block 1st December 2011 Calendar The Sumerians were the first people to create the calendar. They record the movement of the moon and stars. They record information in clay tablets and then put them in libraries. For the Mesopotamians a rotate of the moon was a cycle of the moon (12 lunar months) in a year. One lunar month equal 28 or 29 days, which means the year is too short. To solve this problem they check their records, they add an extra month every three or four years they call it “leap month”. The king is the only one that can change it. The invention and development in Mesopotamia was a smart invention. The calendar was useful to the Mesopotamians and helped them to do many things. They could know when the flood was going to come, and throw away the crops. So The Mesopotamians wanted the calendar to know when to pay the taxes or when to go to festivals, or to know your birthday month because maybe you have a lot of luck or maybe not. The calendar was really important. The uses of the calendar were really important because it tell you when to when to do something like, the most important fact of the calendar is that it tell you when does someone have to pay you or when do you have to pay someone, or if you have to pay the taxes with crops cows and all that, or there is a festival or a birthday… Now we have calendar because the Sumerians/Babylonians crated with the astronomy.
