2010 was the start of the new decade
2010 is the start of the new decade.
Some people do not relaise this because of two errors.
1. The concept of zero only developed in the ninth century in India. So year one bc was counted as what was in reality year 0.
2. I think some people are confused as they cannot understand why counting would start from 0 instead of 1.
The year some do not realize this as they are focused by the anachronistic errors of those Gregorian calender. The concept of zero developed in the ninth century so they did not have a year zero, Yet the term, BC means before Christ. How can Jesus have been born in a year before Christ. The year 1 bc should be renamed as year zero. As it was not before Christ. It was the year Christ was born.
I am fed up with this new argument that the year 2000 was not the start of the new millennium and that the year 2010 was not the start of the new decade.
I think some people are confused as they cannot understand why counting would start from 0 instead of 1. They think that 10 is the last year of the decade. As they think people count from 1 to 10. In reality all counting is done from 0 to 9. You do not start with nothing and say you are starting from 1. When starting from nothing you start at 0. OK so some point out that in the Greogrian calender there is no year zero just a year 1 bc followed by AD 1. But according to this Jesus was born in Year bc 1. Which means that according to their own logic Jesus was born in the the year 1 Before Christ. Well how does that make sense. All that shows is they were confused as in those days they did not have a zero. The concept of zero was only created
The fact is the year 2010 is the first year of the new decade.
When people are born they are 0 years old by day two they are o years and one day old. So history started at year o. You start counting from 0 not 1.
Everything is counted from zero not one. When you count money, you count from 0 not one. If you see only half a pence you count only half a pence not 1 and a half pence.
You do not say we have no money until we have 1 pence. The counting started at 0 pence and moved up to half a pence. The same with years. The new decade starts at year 0 because there have been o full years of the decade. At the end of the first year there has been 1 full year so year one of the decade.
The year one is not when time is counted from. Time is counted from year 0.
The first decade started off at year 0. By the second day it was still year 0. Year 1 January the first was one full year.
When you say your first decade of life that is 0 - 9. When you reach 10 that is the start of a new decade starting with the second

OK so some claim there was no year zero. So technically that means history started at year one in the Gregorian calender. So my theory is wrong at first glance. But surely that is because the greogrian cleander is counting year zero as 1bc, simply because they did not know about the concept of zero.
So all we have to do is recognize 1 bc was year zero. But only because According to some studies year 1 bc was followed by year 1 AD there was no year zero. Yet we know better than that the Pope should say year 1 BC was year 0. Incarnation of Jesus (conception on late March and birth on late December), as assigned by Dionysius Exiguus in his anno Domini era according to most scholars (Dionysius used the word "incarnation", but it is not known whether he meant conception or birth). However, at least one scholar thinks Dionysius placed the incarnation of Jesus in the next year, AD 1. Most modern scholars do not consider Dionysius' calculations authoritative, placing the event several years earlier (see Chronology of Jesus).
Anno Domini (abbreviated as AD or A.D., sometimes found in the irregular form Anno Domine) and Before Christ (abbreviated as BC or B.C.) are designations used to number years in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. The calendar era to which they refer is based on the traditionally reckoned year of the conception or birth of Jesus, with AD denoting years after the start of this epoch, and BC denoting years before the start of this epoch. There is no year zero in this scheme, so the year AD 1 immediately follows the year 1 BC.
But they were wrong too.
Dionysius is best-known as the inventor of the Anno Domini era, which is used to number the years of both the Gregorian calendar and the Julian calendar. He used it to identify the several Easters in his Easter table, but did not use it to date any historical event. When he devised his table, Julian calendar years were identified by naming the consuls who held office that year — he himself stated that the "present year" was "the consulship of Probus Junior [Flavius Probus]", which he also stated was 525 years "since the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ". How he arrived at that number is unknown. He invented a new system of numbering years to replace the Diocletian years that had been used in an old Easter table because he did not wish to continue the memory of a tyrant who persecuted Christians. The Anno Domini era became dominant in Western Europe only after it was used by the Venerable Bede to date the events in his Ecclesiastical History of the English People, completed in 731.
The guy who invented the numbering idea specifically said this was years from the birth of jesus. Plus as the whole numbering system is made up. What should happen is 1 bc should be reognised as year 1 as according to the books jesus was born in 1 bc. Which means it was year 0. So what is the greogrian calemnder makers
By the middle of the 2nd millennium BCE, the Babylonian mathematics had a sophisticated sexagesimal positional numeral system. The lack of a positional value (or zero) was indicated by a space between sexagesimal numerals. By 300 BCE, a punctuation symbol (two slanted wedges) was co-opted as a placeholder in the same Babylonian system. In a tablet unearthed at Kish (dating from about 700 BCE), the scribe Bêl-bân-aplu wrote his zeros with three hooks, rather than two slanted wedges.
The Babylonian placeholder was not a true zero because it was not used alone. Nor was it used at the end of a number. Thus numbers like 2 and 120 (2×60), 3 and 180 (3×60), 4 and 240 (4×60), looked the same because the larger numbers lacked a final sexagesimal placeholder. Only context could differentiate them.
Records show that the ancient Greeks seemed unsure about the status of zero as a number. They asked themselves, "How can nothing be something?", leading to philosophical and, by the Medieval period, religious arguments about the nature and existence of zero and the vacuum. The paradoxes of Zeno of Elea depend in large part on the uncertain interpretation of zero.
The concept of zero as a number and not merely a symbol for separation is attributed to India where by the 9th century CE practical calculations were carried out using zero, which was treated like any other number, even in case of division. The Indian scholar Pingala (circa 5th-2nd century BCE) used binary numbers in the form of short and long syllables (the latter equal in length to two short syllables), making it similar to Morse code. He and his contemporary Indian scholars used the Sanskrit word śūnya to refer to zero o.

Houses on the Isle of Man
Houses on the Isle of Man are often in demand for the tax rates in the island.

Isle of Man history
The Isle of Man became separated from Britain and Ireland by about 8000 BC. It appears that colonisation took place by sea sometime before 6500 BC.[1] The island has been visited by various raiders and trading peoples over the years. After being settled by people from Ireland in the first millennium, the Isle of Man was subject first to Christianity and then to raids by Vikings from Norway. After becoming subject to suzerainty to Norway as part of the Kingdom of Mann and the Isles, the Isle of Man later became a possession of the Scottish and then English crowns.
Since 1866, the Isle of Man has been a Crown Dependency and has democratic self-government.

deemster
A deemster (Manx: briw) is a judge in the Isle of Man. The High Court of Justice of the Isle of Man is presided over by a deemster or, in the case of the appeal division of that court, a deemster and the Judge of Appeal. The deemsters also promulgate the Laws on Tynwald Day by reading them out to the people in English and Manx.

Tynwald Hill
The main ceremonies of the day take place on Tynwald Hill, known in the Manx language as Cronk-y-Keeillown, or the Hill of the Church of John, in the village of St John's. This mound is said to include soil from all 17 of the Island's parishes. The mound, approximately 12 feet (3.7 metres) in height, includes four circular platforms, which are of successively decreasing size, thereby giving Tynwald Hill a somewhat conical shape.
The ceremony of proclaiming laws on Tynwald Hill is traceable to the Norse practice of making public proclamations from mounds: Iceland, for example, once used the Lögberg (Law-Rock or Law-Hill) for the same purpose. The origins of the man-made Tynwald Hill are unclear, but it existed by the end of the 14th century. It was used in 1393 for the inauguration of Sir William le Scrope, and again in 1408 for the inauguration of Sir John Stanley, as Lords of Mann. Its first recorded use for the promulgation of laws dates to 24 June 1417, when Sir John Stanley presided.
The Lieutenant Governor, together with the Sword-Bearer and the officers and members of the Legislative Council, occupy the highest level of the Hill; officers and members of the House of Keys occupy the next level. Other officials are accommodated on the lower levels and at the foot of the mound. A tent covers the top platform. The flag of the Isle of Man flies from the flagpole except when the British Sovereign presides, when the Royal Standard flies.

Tynwald Day
Tynwald Day (Manx: Laa Tinvaal) is the National Day of the Isle of Man, usually occurring on 5 July.
On this day the Isle's legislature, Tynwald, meets at St John’s, instead of its usual meeting place, Douglas. The session is held partly in the Royal Chapel of St John the Baptist and partly in the open air on the adjacent Tynwald Hill (an artificial mound). The meeting, the first recorded instance of which dates to 1417, is known as "Midsummer Court". It is attended by members of the two branches of Tynwald: the House of Keys, and the Legislative Council. The Lieutenant Governor, the representative of the Lord of Mann, presides except on the occasions when the Lord or another member of the British Royal Family is present.

Tynwald
Tynwald (Manx: Tinvaal), or more formally, the High Court of Tynwald (Manx: Ard-whaiyl Tinvaal) is the bicameral legislature of the Isle of Man. It consists of the directly elected House of Keys and the indirectly chosen Legislative Council.
The Houses sit jointly on Tynwald Day at St John's, and on other occasions in the Legislative Buildings in Douglas. Otherwise, the two Houses sit separately, with the House of Keys originating most legislation, and the Legislative Council acting as a revising chamber. It has been argued that Tynwald is in fact tricameral because in addition to the two branches sitting separately they also sit as a single body.

Isle of Man
The Isle of Man, is a self governing British Crown dependency, located in the Irish Sea between the islands of Great Britain and Ireland. The head of state is Queen Elizabeth II, who holds the title of Lord of Mann. The Crown is represented by a Lieutenant Governor. The island is not part of the United Kingdom but foreign relations, defence, and ultimate good governance of the Isle of Man are the responsibility of the government of the United Kingdom.
Inhabited for millennia, the island gradually became a Celtic-Norse community as the Norse settled there, starting about AD 850. This has left a legacy ranging from the Tynwald parliament to many local place names. After a period of alternating rule by the kings of England and Scotland, the Manx came under the feudal over-lordship of the English Crown. The lordship revested into the British Crown in 1764 but the island never became part of the United Kingdom and retained its status as an internally self-governing jurisdiction.
