               every fourth year consists of 366 days, and the other
               years of 365 days. This is about 11 minutes in a year
               too much. Pope Georgy XIII. reformed the calendar by
               retrenching 10 days in October, 1582, in order to bring
               back the vernal equinox to the same day as at the time
               of the Council of Nice, a. d. 325. This reformation was
               adopted by act of the British Parliament in 1751, by
               which act 11 days in September, 1752, were retrenched,
               and the third day was reckoned the fourteenth. This
               mode of reckoning is called New Style, according to
               which every year divisible by 4, unless it is divisible
               by 100 without being divisible by 400, has 366 days,
               and any other year 365 days.

   SDL
  
      Specification and Design Language.
  
      Defined by the {ITU-T} (recommendation Z100) to provide a tool
      for unambiguous specification and description of the behaviour
      of telecommunications systems.   The area of application also
      includes process control and real-time applications.   SDL
      provides a Graphic Representation (SDL/GR) and a textual
      Phrase Representation (SDL/PR), which are equivalent
      representations of the same semantics.   A system is specified
      as a set of interconnected {abstract machine}s which are
      extensions of the {Finite State Machine} (FSM).

      2. Specification and Description Language.   {ITU-T}.
      Specification language with both graphical and character-based
      syntaxes for defining interacting extended finite state
      machines.   Used to specify discrete interactive systems such
      as industrial process control, traffic control, and
      telecommunication systems.   Proc Plenary Assembly, Melbourne

   SETL
  
      SET Language.   A very high level language based on sets,
      designed by Jack Schwartz at the {Courant Institute} in the
      early 1970s.   It was possibly the first use of {list
      comprehension} notation.
  
      Data types include sets (unordered collections), {tuple}s
      (ordered collections) and maps (collections of ordered pairs).
      Expressions may include {quantifier}s ('for each' and
      'exists').   The first {Ada} translator was written in SETL.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Steel
      The "bow of steel" in (A.V.) 2 Sam. 22:35; Job 20:24; Ps. 18:34
      is in the Revised Version "bow of brass" (Heb.
      kesheth-nehushah). In Jer. 15:12 the same word is used, and is
      also rendered in the Revised Version "brass." But more correctly
      it is copper (q.v.), as brass in the ordinary sense of the word
      (an alloy of copper and zinc) was not known to the ancients.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Shuthelah, plant; verdure; moist; pot
