How many calendars are there? It turns out just one and it's calculators of

1974! I mean come on if you had a calendar with this in it why on earth

would you ever need any other calendar? I mean look at that. Awh.

In that case I'm gonna look specifically at how many calendars there

are in the Gregorian calendar date keeping system. And of course throughout

history different countries and cultures have had their own calendars and that

continues to this very day. If you get a phone and you look at the calendar

setting... I'm now recording this at the very end of 2018. 2019 comes next. If I go

over into my general settings, not date and time, but under that languages and

region I can change the calendar. So let's go Buddhist and now all of a

sudden if we come back out to the calendar it's the Year 2561.

Maybe borrow a friend's phone change the calendar and then try to convince them

that just woken up from a coma. Even though there are other calendars the

Gregorian calendar is the one used by most countries and it's the one that the

official ISO date keeping standards are based upon. So I'm gonna look at the

Gregorian calendar and see how many of those there are. 14. There are, I mean

that's the answer, there 14 different options. Probably should've started with that.

Sorry. Wow classic YouTube we got there eventually. Could've just started watching here

it turns out. So there are only seven different days that the year can start

with and it's either a leap year or it's not that's it.

14 options every single year is one of those so 2019 starts on a Tuesday not a

leap year. 2020 starts on a Wednesday: is a leap year. 14. Because 2019 starts

on a Tuesday there's not a leap year you can use any calendar from any other year

which started on a Tuesday and wasn't a leap year. Including 1985. Which is why I went and

bought the culture club calendar from 1985. And this, this was.. ha, that is peak 80s

right there. And this... and this is...

That is not even a joke. Right, this is not like someone making fun of the 80s later

this was made in 1984 this was done deadly seriously. And in the interest of

balance I didn't just buy the culture club I also got the scorpions. Here we are.

More 1980s but in a very different fashion. That's pretty... ok that's pretty 80s

oh that's very 80s aha look at that right so these start on a Tuesday not

leap years and so I can use them actually bought these in 2012 because

2013 started on a Tuesday it wasn't a leap year so these were my calendars from

2013 and now I can reuse them in 2019 and likewise 2020 find any calendar

which started on a Wednesday and was leap year use it again. Confession time

the calculators in 1974 I made this myself because I thought I was hilarious

This is my own calculator calendar made for my own personal use but 1974 also

started on a Tuesday and wasn't a leap year so I thought it'd be very funny to

make a calendar which is based on 1974 but works in 2019 and the other problem

with 2020 is because it's a leap year those calendars are bit more rare they

don't come up as often. So you need to go back to 1992 if you want to get yourself

a 2020 calendar. I mean that's pretty rad and then you can save it until you get

to 2048. The next time it would be used. Because 2048 is as far from 2020 as 1992

is. Not rad. And when I was making my calculators of 1974 calendar I did the

actual like month grid myself I generated these in Excel and I couldn't

be bothered changing the length depending on the month I thought it'd be

funnier to have a set 7 by 5 grid and then I put a 1 on whatever day in the

week the month happens to start on it then it just fills in the rest of it so

you can see here March will start on a Friday here that starts on a Monday right

but then here I propagated all the way through to 35 you've gotta know when to turn

over to the next page and a lot of them if they start later in the week.. where's

one that's later in the week... here we go this one doesn't start till Saturday and

so I put zero and negative so you can actually turn the page over early if you

want start using the negative numbers of the next month. And it made me realise

that every single month there's only seven options for each month apart from

February so February can have two different lengths and they can have

seven different starting dates so it gets fourteen again but otherwise every

single month only has seven options for that specific month across all months

seven starting points there are four different lengths of a month there are

only 28 different possible months which makes things like this make me very

angry. Good luck everyone this year December has five Mondays five

Saturdays and five Sundays this happens once every 823 yea.. No it doesn't! These

things online really annoy me I I get the argument they're just some harmless

fun. But honestly, get a calendar and check. You can look up the month where this

happens. All months that have more than 28 days will have five occurrences of a

particular day within them and all the months that are 31 days long like

December is always gonna have three days I don't why they change the order here

but so Saturday Sunday Monday... if it starts on the Saturday you're gonna have

a bonus Saturday Sunday Monday on the end that's going to happen every single time

But yet this stuff gets passed around and actually if you want some good

ammunition for the next time you're annoyed by something like this on the

internet we can have a look at how long it takes a Gregorian calendar to loop

completely. If you take my list from before of the types of year and set it

going eventually it will loop, it will perfectly repeat itself. I actually made

this list in Excel putting in the formula to work out leap years is kind

of fun because if the year is multiple of four it is a leap year unless it's a

multiple of 100 then it's not unless it's a multiple of 400 and then it is

again and that means that the leap year system in the Gregorian calendar repeats

every 400 years and because 400 years worth of days: it's 400 times 365 plus

the extra 97 leap days, that total is a multiple of seven: the day's repeat at

exactly the same time that the leap years do and so every 400 years the Gregorian

calendar perfectly loops back on itself. So the day you're enjoying now is the

same as the day 400 years ago and 400 years from now

2019 is a Tuesday non-leap year as was 1619 as will 2419. Although I appreciate there are some complications because

like in different countries they switch calendars at different times so if you

go back into different calendar system so in England in 1752 they switch

calendar systems took out 13 days but didn't change the order of the day so

that breaks that going backwards and who knows what's going to change going

forwards but for now on this calendar system nothing can happen less

frequently than every 400 days that's the longest you can go for any weird

combination of days and dates that you want it'll repeat at worst every 400

days it cannot, cannot be every 823 years. I have no idea where that number

originally came from if anyone can find out and tell me where 823 years comes

from I would love to hear it. Although none of this factors in cultural or

religious or personal days and some people are thinking:well hang-on! Generic

religious holiday that moves around that doesn't loop every 400 years. You can't

say calendars repeat ever 400 years, those dates don't! And the thing is that

changes for everyone. So when I made calculators of 1974 I thought you know

what I'm gonna fill in all the days that are important to me. And so on the 31st

of December 18 which is the zeroth I turn twenty million minutes old so that

is my 2 times 10 to the 7 minute birthday. Straight after Christmas which

you'll note I haven't bothered putting in. Straight after that the 26th

that is my 2,000 day wedding anniversary and that's probably

worth noting because my wife and I celebrate every multiple of five hundred

days because that makes more sense and I better not forget that, that's a very

important day that myself and Lucie celebrate. And I would say there

are probably as many different ways to celebrate personal and special days in

the calendar as there are people celebrating those days. And so the

calendar itself repeats every 400 years but you can choose how every year is

unique and special to you and I hope you have a very fantastic unique and

unnecessarily nerdy New Year. Fun fact: while this is something I made for my own

personal use and so you cannot buy it or give it to anyone for Christmas you can

give them my new book humble pi. Hear me out! Like, I'd really appreciate this.

Because if you order it we have a bonus gift we will actually give you two of

the chapters now and a certificate saying you bought it for someone so you

can give it to them before Christmas the book itself doesn't come out until the

7th of March 2019.. ooh I better mark that in. The 7th of March 2019. However if

you want to give it as a gift it's a bit lame to say you're gonna get some

generic book at a random date in the future...

here we go Thursday humble pi day. So this way you can get them the

certificate it says they're gonna get the full thing they can get two chapters

right now as an e-book so they can start reading they don't have to wait until

humble pi day the following year but on that date they will actually get the

book and if you order it through Maths Gear it'll be a first edition hardback

signed by me. If you order it through Amazon you can still get the free gift

I'll put a link to the website that Penguin has very kindly made for me if

you go there and put in your confirmation number you get all the

extra bonus stuff now and then Amazon will ship it in the new year. Amazon is

cheaper on Amazon if you get it from me I sign it and I've paid my taxes...

There you go. Just get it for everyone you know that would be amazing

and I really appreciate that. I mean that or of course go and get them 1985 Culture Club

calendar for a whole year of this much 80s.

25 Random Fashion Facts (How Many Do YOU Know?) RMRS Style Videos For Men - Duration: 8:59.

25 Random Fashion Facts [0:00:00]

All right, gentlemen.

In today's video, we're having fun, twenty five random fashion facts that most men do

not know.

[Music] So, in today's video we're going to play

a game.

As I go through the twenty five facts, I want to hear from you down in the comments which

ones you disagree with, I don't agree with all of these.

We went out and we did the research, but some of these I think can be disputed.

If you can guess the right ones down in the comments, I've got some cool gifts I'm

going to be giving away.

What are those?

Find out, guys.

I'm going to reveal that in today's video.

Fashion fact number one.

Buttons were invented thirty five hundred years before buttonholes.

So, what did they do without buttonholes and they had buttons?

Guys, they use loops to fasten items.

The next random fashion fact on men's clothing what we'll find buttons are on the right

side.

On women's clothing, buttons are going to be on the left side.

Now, some people think this is because men needed to be able to reach over and pull out

a weapon.

It's actually because women were getting dressed by servants, hence they have the buttons

on the opposite side.

Now, this next fashion fact explains why on jackets why on vests we don't button the

bottom buttons.

It goes back to Kind Edward VII, he was so large that he could not button the bottom

button on his vest or his jackets.

So, this was picked up by others as, okay, I see what the king here is doing, let's

go ahead and imitate this.

It became a fashion trend.

Now, that fashion trend has continued to live on and we see in modern jackets and modern

vests that they are designed actually not to button that bottom button.

And that leads me to the next fashion fact.

Buttons that are designed never to be buttoned are called idle buttons.

And why do we have buttons on our sleeves?

Well, apparently Frederick the Great of Russia thought it would be a good idea to put buttons

here to prevent the soldiers from wiping their noses on their uniform.

Now, another interesting fact is why do they call this surgeon cuffs whenever you've

got buttons that can unbutton?

And it simply is that surgeons on the battle field would be able to roll their cuffs and

do surgery and not get their jackets dirty.

Yes, surgeons on the battle field used to wear jackets.

Now, if you're a student of history, you may have read that the puritan founding fathers

thought buttons were sinful.

Go back a couple of hundred years; buttons were a sign of wealth.

They were oftentimes made from precious stones from jewelry, but the puritans viewed this

as just simply being over the top and it wasn't in what they consider a plain type of dress.

All right, gentlemen.

So, this next fashion fact is based off research and that is if you wear a watch you're less

likely to be late because you're more conscientious of time, you're basically more aware of

what's going on around you.

And, guys if you're looking to buy a watch, I want you to check out Vincero, the paid

sponsor of today's video.

I am linking to them down in the description of this video with the best discount code

you're going to find out there.

Gentlemen, I've been working with Vincero now for over two years because I love what

they're doing, they're bringing great-looking watches.

When you wear this you're going to get compliment and they bring it to you at an affordable

Vincero makes bold designs for guys looking to set themselves apart.

I want you to go over to their website and look at the different collections.

Look at their Chrono Collection, look at the Kairos Collection.

Check out that Bellwether Collection, one of my favorites.

I absolutely love these watches.

Look at the Marble Collection.

And they even got an automatic collection of watches.

And you guys know I love the interchangeable wardrobe and that's what I love about Vincero

is you can change out the straps.

So, this metal strap if you wanted to wear this with this lighter-colored dial or if

I want to go for a different type of leather, I could own just a few watches and all of

a sudden I can change things up however I want.

Two-year warranty, thirty-day return policy, free worldwide shipping.

Guys, I'm linking to Vincero down in the description of this video with the best discount

code you're going to find out there.

Use it or lose it.

Oh.

And I've got some extra watches here in the office I would love to give away.

So, how to win these, guys?

I need you to go click on the link down in the description.

Go to their website, get the details on the watch, let me know down in the comments along

with the fashion fact number that you disagree with and why.

Next up, let's talk about the ticket pocket.

So, this is on the right side of the jacket of a sports jacket of a blazer.

Ticket pocket is usually going to be smaller.

Their design why they were made to hold a ticket.

Now, in most suit jackets sports jacket you're going to see what are known as jetted pockets

and these actually go into the material.

But, occasionally you will see what's known as a patch pocket.

A patch pocket is a pocket that is sewn right on top of the material, hence called the patch.

Now, the vast majority of pockets on a jacket going horizontally are going to be straight.

Occasionally though, going towards the outside, you will see them start to slant down.

These are called hacking pockets.

The reason for a hacking pocket?

So, if you're riding a horse it was easier to put your hands in the pocket and pull something

out.

Occasionally on a casual shirt, you're going to see what's called an epaulette.

And an epaulette is a fold over of material that used to actually be for holding a rank

insignia.

So, it just goes to show how closely tied menswear is to basically military uniforms.

And why would you ever want a shirt with an epaulette?

Because it's going to build up your shoulders.

The classic business suit has remained virtually unchanged for almost a hundred years.

Now, we've seen changes in proportions, maybe colors go in and out, but the overall

design of the suit has not really changed.

[0:05:00] Sports jackets are called sports jackets because

they were worn by men watching sport and participating in sport.

So, you're watching maybe horseracing or you are participating in hunting.

Spectator shoes are called spectator shoes because they were worn by spectators.

About a hundred years ago whenever they went to events such as horseracing they wanted

to stand out and they wanted it to be seen that these were not their formal shoes.

They still looked good, but they were something different about them, hence they were called

spectator shoes.

The technical term for the end of a shoelace is called an aglet.

Most dress shoes are going to have an odd number of lace holes.

In this case, one, two, three, four, five.

So, the next random fashion fact, most lace holes are incorrectly labeled as eyelets or

grommets.

Now, eyelets or grommets use metal, but lace holes as they should be correctly called actually

do not and they're just simple holes in the leather.

Next up, let's talk about vibram soles.

Vibram soles are rubber soles really durable, really tough that have extreme grip.

They were developed by a mountaineer, his name is Vitale Bramani and he was climbing

the Alps and six of his climbing crew froze to death.

And after this incident, he went out and developed a sole that would have probably saved their

lives if they had had it.

Next up, let's talk about the design and popularity of the modern cowboy boot.

So, most of these is owed to Hollywood, not to history.

Now, if you go back historically, yes, there is the western boot and it did not have laces,

it did have a heel, it did have a higher upper, but not this high.

This is all part of Hollywood putting in the flashy colors the design.

This is something that could be sold and could be mass marketed.

Now, when you go back and look historically, yes, it was something that if you fell out

of the saddle no laces so that it would slip right off and the heel to help you get a grip

right in there.

Now, all that being said, I love western boots.

So, talking about boots, let's talk about Wellington boots.

These were invented in 1817 by the Duke of Wellington.

Basically, he wanted a boot that could go from being out riding a horse going out and

doing the work to actually being able to wear at night, this was a formal time, so it's

the boot that could make transition something that I think a lot of you guys would appreciate.

Most people have one foot that's slightly larger than the other.

When you're trying to make a decision of which size to go with, go with the larger

size foot.

So, this is really strange for us Americans, but what we call suspenders, the British they

call braces.

And what the British call suspenders, we call women's garters.

Kind of strange, huh?

Now, did you know that Benjamin Franklin besides being on a hundred dollar bills also set fashion

trends.

So, apparently in 1736 he made the volunteer fire department the first one in the United

States part of their uniform was to wear suspenders, hence they became popular.

And suspenders apparently were a big deal.

Men were to receive them as gifts from women and they would go through and they would embroider

them make them really nice.

Napoleon had some with bumblebees, Franklin Delano Roosevelt apparently had eagles and

flags on them.

Pretty patriotic there.

And besides being called braces, apparently suspenders were also called galluses which

comes from the word gallows which means to hang which sounds really morbid and I'm

glad they don't call them that anymore.

So, what happened to suspenders how come we don't wear them as much anymore?

Well, it started in 1893 with the fashion trend called the belt.

And basically, it was a really hot summer people were like it's too hot to even wear

suspenders, so they started wearing these new hip things called belts, hence we wear

belts even today.

So, in today's day and age, the color blue is considered very strong and masculine, the

color pink is considered feminine.

Go back a hundred and fifty years, this was actually flipped.

Blue was a feminine color and pink was a masculine color because of its association with red

which was considered a very strong color for men.

So, why is there a stereotype that men can't match colors like women?

Actually, it's got a bit of a scientific base and that is almost ten percent of men

are color blind compared to less than one percent of women.

All right, gentlemen.

So, which of the fashion facts do you disagree with?

Let me know down in the comments.

And make sure you click on that link for Vincero down in the description, go check out the

watches.

Let me know exactly which one you like to receive along with the fashion fact you disagree

with and why and we're going to go through it and I'm going to choose out some winners

here on the next week.

All right, gentlemen.

That's it.

Take care.

I will see you in the next video and that's a fact, not a random one.

How well do you know UK Tech? How many tech meetups are there in the UK? - Duration: 1:08.

If I got that wrong, it'd feel really pretty bad wouldn't it?

It's going to be C!

I think it's B but I'm not that confident about this one.

I'm gonna have a guess at C.

(Buzzing noise indicating wrong answer) Noooo! I knew that! I knew that.

I'm gonna go with B, around 3000.

(Ringing noise signifying the correct answer)

I've been to many of them especially the free drinks ones.

Always, every day. Every day there's something going on.

I'm surprised it's not actually more .

We've got loads of meetups happening in Norwich, Ipswich,

Cambridge places like that. I think the rest of the UK needs to

catch up on what we're doing in the East of England.

I think hopefully it's going to be in, carry on increasing

and hopefully outside of London as well. More people, who are

doing more to try and raise awareness of digital in their clusters.

I think it's enough! (Laughing)
