  Leap Seconds
Over the course of one year, the difference accumulates to almost one second, which is compensated by the insertion of a leap second into the scale of UTC with a current regularity of a little less than once per year.
Since the first leap second in 1972, all leap seconds have been positive and there were 23 leap seconds in the 34 years to January, 2006.
This scenario is analogous to that encountered with the leap second.

 Leap second - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leap seconds are used to keep time standards synchronized with civil calendars, the basis of which is astronomical.
Although a leap second is "added" at midnight, its effect actually slows down the atomic clock by one second relative to the time it would register if it did not have a leap second added, since a leap second represents an extra second that must be counted before the new day can begin.
Leap seconds occur only at the end of a UTC month, and have only ever been inserted at the end of June 30 or December 31.

 Leap year - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A leap year (or intercalary year) is a year containing an extra day, week or month in order to keep the calendar year in sync with an astronomical or seasonal year.

 LEAP: A looming disaster in Enterprise Wireless LANs   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Because LEAP is used by such a significant percent of enterprise Wireless LANs, it represents a massive security hole for a vast install base in enterprise Wireless LANs where security is suppose to be priority one.

 LEAP RDBMS : User Guide   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Note that the way LEAP determines if a relation is union compatible is by attribute names, and therefore a rename operation occurs to ensure that the two relations are "union compatible" by LEAP's definition.
Note that LEAP algebra supports the attribute name inheritance discussed here, with the exception of relations which contain duplicate attribute names, whereby the "clashing" attribute is renamed to incorporate the source relation name.
The term "type-compatible" is used (for valid reasons) in place of the term "union-compatible", and the definition of type compatible is similar to the approach taken by LEAP, with the exception that the compatibility is determined by the attribute names, and not by the domain/data type.

 XL: Method to Determine Whether a Year Is a Leap Year
Because the actual length of a sidereal year (the time required for the Earth to revolve once about the Sun) is actually 365.25635 days, a "leap year" of 366 days is used once every four years to eliminate the error caused by three normal (but short) years.
Any year that is evenly divisible by 4 is a leap year: for example, 1988, 1992, and 1996 are leap years.
To eliminate this error, the Gregorian calendar stipulates that a year that is evenly divisible by 100 (for example, 1900) is a leap year only if it is also evenly divisible by 400.
