<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Ice-age hunters in Europe
over 20,000 years ago apparently scratched lines or made holes in sticks and bones. Historical accounts state that Sumerians,
5000 years ago, had a calendar with 30 day months. Stonehenge, built over
4000 years ago in England, had alignments which determined eclipses,
solstices and so on. To name just a few examples. Archeologists usually discover that in every culture,
some people were preoccupied with measuring and recording the passage of
time. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The Egyptians, for one,
realized that the "Dog Star" or Sirius, rose next to the sun every
365 days, about when the annual inundation of the Nile began. Based on this
knowledge, they devised a 365 day calendar that seems to have begun around 3100
BCE.</span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Before 2000 BCE, the
Babylonians used a year of 12 lunar months, giving a 354 day year. In
contrast, the Mayans of Central America relied not only on the Sun and Moon,
but also the planet Venus, to establish 260 day and 365 day calendars. </span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The solar calendar used by most of the world today is known as the
Gregorian calendar. Named after Pope Gregory XIII, who introduced it in 1582,
this modern calendar is the end result of hundreds of years of fine-tuning.
It was developed from the Julian calendar, which was created in 46 BC by
Julius Caesar.</span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The Julian calendar was also a solar calendar, based on the time it
takes for Earth to travel one complete loop around the sun. In Julius Caesar’s
time, although astronomers believed that the sun revolved around Earth, they
still managed to make fairly accurate measurements of the length of a
complete cycle. A solar year, they calculated, was about 365.25 days long. Julius Caesar, deciding that it would be difficult to add ¼ of a day
onto each year, ordered one extra day to be added every four years to the month
of February, creating what would be called “leap” years. This calendar
was used by the western world for over a thousand years.</span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Unfortunately, there was a problem with the Julian calendar. When
Julius Caesar ordered a leap year every four years, he was putting in too
many extra days. A solar year is not 365.25 days long, but in fact 365.24219
days. The difference between the actual length of the solar year and the
approximated value is very small, but over several hundred years it began to add
up. By the 1500s, spring holidays were starting to happen in the summer.</span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII came up with an idea of how to fix the
problem. He realized that there were too many leap years in the Julian calendar,
so hereorganized it into a more complicated system. In the new calendar,
there is still a leap year almost every four years, but there is also a new
rule. If the year ends in 00, it is only a leap year if the year’s number can be divided
by 400. For this reason, 1800 and 1900 were not leap years, but 2000 was.</span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The new calendar was so accurate that over the next several hundred
years, it was adopted by almost every country in the world. Over 400 years after
its introduction, the Gregorian calendar is currently in use world-wide.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Four hundred and 30 years ago, Pope Gregory XIII gave the West a
calendar, which divided 365 days into what was to be called a year. With 12
months and seven days bundled into so-called weeks, the Gregorian calendar was
hailed as a marvel of medieval accuracy. We use it today, despite its
occasional messiness - drifting days, leap years and 28-day months. But now
some researchers at Johns Hopkins University have devised a different way to
count our days with a leap week every few years to keep the calendar on track.
Holidays, like Christmas and New Year's Day, would always fall on a Sunday. It
seems neat and streamlined for our modern age, except maybe to those of us who
work on Sundays.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "verdana"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The first Starbucks
opened in 1971 in
downtown Seattle. Back then, the company was a single store in the historic
Pike Place Market. The small coffee shop offered some of the world’s finest
fresh-roasted whole bean coffees. The name, inspired by Moby Dick, evoked the
romance of the high seas and the tradition of the early coffee traders.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "verdana"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">In 1981 a New York man by the
name of Howard Schultz became curious about the company. Schultz went to
Seattle to see what Starbucks did, and met the three partners who owned
Starbucks. He wanted to become part of the company. In 1982, he was hired as
the company’s head of marketing</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "verdana"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">A year later, in 1983,
Howard traveled to Italy and became captivated with Italian coffee bars and
the romance of the coffee experience. He had a vision to bring the Italian
coffeehouse tradition back to the United States. A place for conversation and
a sense of community. A third place between work and home. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "verdana"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Between 1987 and 1992,
Starbucks opened 150 new stores—and that was only the beginning. Starbucks
first international coffeehouse opened in Tokyo in 1996 and the response was
extraordinary. Starbucks coffeeshops have been embraced by millions of people
around the world. With more than 21,000 stores in over 65 countries, it’s
clear that the company’s passion for great coffee, genuine service and
community connection transcends language and culture.</span></div>
