Why is my current date different from birthdayscan's current date?

Visitors from Australia enter in new day approximately 8 hours earlier. But this problem is solved. When you are looking the page of your birthday, there is small table in upper-right corner "In my time zone its...day before or after".

How is number of births in world calculated?
Number of births in world on specific day is estimated value calculated from 2 tables. 1st one is birth rate in world (number of births per 1000 persons) for specific year. This value had to be multiplied to get number for world births, that's why we needed 2nd table: population in the world. These tables for years in far history was only for every 10-50th year, so the gap has to be calculated by linear interpolation. Source: UN, department of Economic and Social Affairs.
