February 30 occurs in some calendars, unlike the Gregorian calendar, where February contains only 28 or 29 days. The Swedish realm (which included Finland at the time) planned to change from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar beginning in 1700 by omitting the leap days for the next 40 years. Contrary to the plan, both 1704 and 1708 were leap years in Sweden. This brought the Swedish calendar one day ahead of the Julian calendar but still ten days behind the Gregorian calendar. The Julian calendar was restored when, in 1712, two leap days were added, thus giving that year a 30th of February. That date corresponded to February 29 in Julian and March 11 in Gregorian counting. The Swedish changeover to the Gregorian calendar was finally accomplished in 1753. In 1929 the Soviet Union introduced a revolutionary calendar in which every working month had 30 days and the remaining 5 or 6 days were 'monthless' holidays. In this calendar, there existed a 30th of February in the years 1930 and 1931; the revolutionary calendar was abandoned in 1931.

Suppose, for example, you started in January and at the end of the month you had not yet accumulated $100.00 in your Google Adsense account. You would then need to wait and see if your January and February earnings combined equal $100.00. If they do, you would be paid approximately 30 days after the end of the m... (read more)

At about 7.20pm on the evening of the Saturday 9th February, nearly 100 fire fighters were called to reduce the huge flames of this extraordinary fire. It took 40 minutes for the second and following fire engines to arrive and by then the flames were building and spreading rapidly. The flames were leaping up to 30 feet in the air and all local residents were evacuated from the flats and homes. There were huge clouds of thick dark smoke in the air.
Initially, it was thought that the fire started in a local pub, the Hawley Arms, a local hangout for celebrities which include Amy Winehouse ... (read more)
