Why does February have 29 days every four years?

Why does February have 29 days every four years?

Leap years are not directly connected to leap seconds, but both are for the purpose of keeping the earth's rotations in line with our clocks and calendars.

Leap seconds are added to bring the earth's rotation into line with atomic time. A leap second was added at the end of June last year, when immediately before midnight dials read 11:59:60.

Korban Tewas Ledakan Bom Mobil Baghdad Jadi 59 Orang

BAGHDAD – Korban tewas akibat ledakan bom mobil di suatu pasar yang terletak di timur Baghdad, Irak, bertambah menjadi 59 orang dari sebelumnya 24 orang. Sementara korban luka-luka mencapai hampir 100 orang. Demikian seperti dilaporkan Belfast Telegraph, Senin (29/2/2016).
Juru Bicara Kementerian Dalam Negeri Irak Sad Main mengatakan, ledakan bom mobil di Pasar Mredi yang menyasar wilayah penduduk syiah di Kota Sadr merupakan serangan paling mematikan sepanjang dua bulan terakhir di ibu kota Irak tersebut.
Kelompok teroris Aamaq, yang berafiliasi dengan ISIS, mengklaim bertanggung jawab atas ledakan yang mengguncang kawasan komersial di Baghdad untuk kesekian kalinya itu. Diduga serangan ini datang sebagai aksi balas dendam atas penggempuran tentara pemerintah ke wilayah kekuasaan mereka di Abu Ghraib.
Selain Pasar Mredi, serangan bom juga menyasar Kota Mahmoudiya, 20 mil ke selatan Baghdad. Ledakan menewaskan tiga pedagang dan melukai sedikitnya 10 orang. Peristiwa serupa juga melanda tetangganya, Dora, dengan korban meninggal empat orang.
Ledakan ini menjadi yang kedua dalam sepekan terakhir. Sebelumnya pada Kamis 25 Februari, dua bom meledak di Masjid Syiah yang berada di Baghdad. ISIS mengklaim bertanggung jawab terhadap pengeboman yang menewaskan 15 orang tersebut.

5 film nominasi best documenter oscar 2016



Walaupun masuk nominasi Oscar sekalipun, film dokumenter sering kali disebelah matakan karena mungkin "membosankan" dibandingkan film superhero yang lagi berantem. Padahal, film non-fiksi ini adalah fakta tanpa drama dan benar-benar terjadi di kehidupan nyata. Dengan pengambilan gambar yang sederhana, biaya produksi yang murah, fakta mencenangkan dilapangan, wawancara dan kumpulan video-video sejarah menjadikan film dokumenter punya daya tarik sendiri. 
7 Ways to Keep Your Focus on Execution After the Idea

7 Ways to Keep Your Focus on Execution After the Idea

A good execution requires a plan and the right people, combined to create operational excellence and exceptional customer value. Companies that do this best become market leaders. Google, for example, was not the first Internet search provider (think Yahoo!, AltaVista, InfoSeek and others), but according to Investopedia, Google was the first to really monetize search.
As a result, Google has become a verb, and the company is a tech giant with record growth rates and a revenue of $74.5 billion in 2015. But Google is not unique. Many other companies have followed a similar set of execution principles which I believe are required for business success, no matter how great the idea:
The Deadliest Trap an Entrepreneur Can Fall Into

The Deadliest Trap an Entrepreneur Can Fall Into


Years ago I had a consulting client who was a dentist. One day he called me into his office to look at a panoramic x-ray. The x-ray showed the usual sequence of molars, white against the opaque blackness of the film, but one of the teeth was about as round as a lollipop. Now I’m no dentist, but I know we don’t chew with teeth shaped like lollipops so, assuming it was a temporary crown that some poorly trained dental assistant had slapped on the tooth, I said, “Wow, who let the patient walk out with that temp on?”
