week
The number of the ISO 8601 week-numbering week of the year. By definition,
ISO weeks start on Mondays and the first week of a year contains January 4
of that year. In other words, the first Thursday of a year is in week 1 of
that year.
In the ISO week-numbering system, it is possible for early-January dates to
be part of the 52nd or 53rd week of the previous year, and for
late-December dates to be part of the first week of the next year. For
example, 2005-01-01 is part of the 53rd week of year 2004, and 2006-01-01 i=
s
part of the 52nd week of year 2005, while 2012-12-31 is part of the first
week of 2013. It's recommended to use the isoyear field together with week =
to
get consistent results.

=E2=80=8BJan 1, 2016 was on =E2=80=8Ba Friday. The first Thursday of 2016 i=
s 7 Jan. ISO
calendars start on a Monday (unlike US calendars which start on a Sunday),
so the ISO first week of 2016 is Jan 4, 2016 to Jan 10, 2016.

Werner Heisenberg is driving down the autobahn. A police officer pulls
him over. The officer says, "Excuse me, sir, do you know how fast you
were going?"
"No," replies Dr. Heisenberg, "but I know where I am."

Schrodinger's backup: The condition of any backup is unknown until a

He's about as useful as a wax frying pan.
