World Calendar would keep New Year on Sunday forever

World Calendar proposed to replace standard time plan
The World Calendar splits the year into four 91 day quarters with three 31 day and two 30 day months. It adds a Year End day and shifts leap days to June. Proponents argue for fixed holidays and annual dates while church and legal groups endorse reform. Adoption hinges on global agreement before 1950.
Roman Emperors Shaped Our Present Calendar
The calendar was formed by Julius Caesar and Caesar Augustus. Sosigenes defined a 365 day year with 12 months. July is named for Julius, August for Augustus who added a day to August and shifted days from September and November to October and December to avoid three 31 day months in a row.
