Calendar [fr. Calendarium, Lat.; fr. Calend', the first day in the month in Roman reckoning], the order and series of months, together with the festivals and fasts, which make up the year. There are two modes of computing time-by the annual course of the sun, and by the periodical revolutions of the moon. The solar year consists of 365 days, 5 hours, 48', 45', 30'; the lunar year of 354 days, 3 hours, 48', 38', 12'. The Mohammedans adopt the lunar year. The solar year, calculated by the ancient Egyptians, has undergone various corrections and denominations.The chief of the calendars now in use are the three following: (1) The Julian, so called because Julius C'sar introduced into the Roman Empire the solar or Egyptian year, instead of the lunar year. The Russians and Greeks are the only nations that now use the Julian year. The common Julian year consists of 365 days, and the bissextile or leap-year (see that title), which returns every four years, of 366 days. This computation is faul...
Novell'
Novell', those constitutions of the Civil law which were made after the publication of the Theodosian code; but sometimes the Julian edition only is meant.Novell', or Novell' Constitutiones, from a part of the Corpus Juris. Most of them were published in Greek, and their Greek title is Avtokpatopos' Invotiviavov Auyovotov nepai Siataeves. Some of them were published in Latin, and some in both languages.The first of these Novell' of Justinian belongs to the year A.D. 535 (Nov. 1), and the latest on the year A.D. 565 (Nov. 137), but most of them were published between the years 535 and 539. These Constitutiones were published after the completion of the second edition of the Code, for the purpose of supplying what was deficient in that work. Indeed, it appears that on the completion of his second edition of the new Code, the emperor designed to form many new constitutions which he might publish into a body by themselves, so as to render a third revision of the Code unnecessary, and that ...
case number
case number The National Visa Center (NVC) gives each immigrant petition a case number. This number has three letters followed by ten digits (numbers). The three letters are an abbreviation for the overseas embassy or consulate that will process the immigrant visa case (for example, GUZ for Guangzhou, CDJ for Ciudad Juarez). The digits tell us exactly when NVC created the case. For example a case with the number MNL2001747003 would be a case assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Manila. 2001 is the year in which NVC received the case from the USCIS (formerly INS). The Julian date is 747 plus 500, so this case was created on September 4, 2001, the 247th day of the year. The 003 shows that it was the third case created for Manila on that day. This case number is not the same as the USCIS receipt number, which is written on the Notice of Action, Form I-797, from the USCIS. A consular section abroad cannot find a case if all you have is the USCIS receipt number. Source: Department of State. ...
