month

A month is a unit of time, used with calendars, that is approximately as long as a natural orbital period of the Moon; the words month and Moon are cognates. The traditional concept arose with the cycle of Moon phases; such lunar months ("lunations") are synodic months and last approximately 29.53 days. From excavated tally sticks, researchers have deduced that people counted days in relation to the Moon's phases as early as the Paleolithic age. Synodic months, based on the Moon's orbital period with respect to the Earth–Sun line, are still the basis of many calendars today, and are used to divide the year.

    Leaking central heating - should I use an internal leak sealer?

    I have an 18 month old central heating system with a combi boiler and pushfit pipework. Everything works OK but the system loses pressure after about 3 months. I can't find any obvious leaks or weeping joints. Would a leak sealer like fernox f4 be a good solution? Thanks
