Death \Death\, n. [OE. deth, dea[?], AS. de[a0][?]; akin to OS.       d[?][?], D. dood, G. tod, Icel. dau[?]i, Sw. & Dan. d[94]d,       Goth. daupus; from a verb meaning to die. See {Die}, v. i.,       and cf. {Dead}.]       1. The cessation of all vital phenomena without capability of             resuscitation, either in animals or plants.          Note: Local death is going on at times and in all parts of                the living body, in which individual cells and elements                are being cast off and replaced by new; a process                essential to life. General death is of two kinds; death                of the body as a whole (somatic or systemic death), and                death of the tissues. By the former is implied the                absolute cessation of the functions of the brain, the                circulatory and the respiratory organs; by the latter                the entire disappearance of the vital actions of the                ultimate structural constituents of the body. When                death takes place, the body as a whole dies first, the                death of the tissues sometimes not occurring until                after a considerable interval. --Huxley.          2.

Anything so dreadful as to be like death.                         It was death to them to think of entertaining such                      doctrines.                                          --Atterbury.                         And urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto                      death.                                                --Judg. xvi.                                                                               16.          Note: Death is much used adjectively and as the first part of                a compound, meaning, in general, of or pertaining to                death, causing or presaging death; as, deathbed or                death bed; deathblow or death blow, etc.          {Black death}.

[bd]It was one who should be the death of both his             parents.[b8] --Milton.          Syn: {Death}, {Decease}, {Demise}, {Departure}, {Release}.          Usage: Death applies to the termination of every form of                   existence, both animal and vegetable; the other words                   only to the human race. Decease is the term used in                   law for the removal of a human being out of life in                   the ordinary course of nature. Demise was formerly                   confined to decease of princes, but is now sometimes                   used of distinguished men in general; as, the demise                   of Mr. Pitt. Departure and release are peculiarly                   terms of Christian affection and hope. A violent death                   is not usually called a decease. Departure implies a                   friendly taking leave of life. Release implies a                   deliverance from a life of suffering or sorrow.

data          /day't*/ (Or "raw data")       Numbers, {characters}, {images}, or other method of recording,       in a form which can be assessed by a human or (especially)       input into a {computer}, stored and {processed} there, or       transmitted on some {digital channel}.   Computers nearly       always represent data in {binary}.          Data on its own has no meaning, only when interpreted by some       kind of {data processing system} does it take on meaning and       become {information}.          People or computers can find patterns in data to perceive       information, and information can be used to enhance       {knowledge}.   Since knowledge is prerequisite to wisdom, we       always want more data and information.   But, as modern       societies verge on {information overload}, we especially need       better ways to find patterns.          1234567.89 is data.          "Your bank balance has jumped 8087% to $1234567.89" is       information.          "Nobody owes me that much money" is knowledge.          "I'd better talk to the bank before I spend it, because of       what has happened to other people" is wisdom.          (1999-04-30)

date          A string unique to a time duration of 24       hours between 2 successive midnights defined by the local time       zone.   The specific representation of a date will depend on       which calendar convention is in force; e.g., Gregorian,       Islamic, Japanese, Chinese, Hebrew etc. as well as local       ordering conventions such as UK: day/month/year, US:       month/day/year.          Inputting and outputting dates on computers is greatly       complicated by these {localisation} issues which is why they       tend to operate on dates internally in some unified form such       as seconds past midnight at the start of the first of January       1970.          Many software and hardware representations of dates allow only       two digits for the year, leading to the {year 2000} problem.          {Unix manual page}: date(1), ctime(3).          (1997-07-11)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Date       the fruit of a species of palm (q.v.), the Phoenix dactilifera.       This was a common tree in Palestine (Joel 1:12; Neh. 8:15). Palm       branches were carried by the Jews on festive occasions, and       especially at the feast of Tabernacles (Lev. 23:40; Neh. 8:15).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Death       may be simply defined as the termination of life. It is       represented under a variety of aspects in Scripture: (1.) "The       dust shall return to the earth as it was" (Eccl. 12:7).                (2.) "Thou takest away their breath, they die" (Ps. 104:29).                (3.) It is the dissolution of "our earthly house of this       tabernacle" (2 Cor. 5:1); the "putting off this tabernacle" (2       Pet. 1:13, 14).                (4.) Being "unclothed" (2 Cor. 5:3, 4).                (5.) "Falling on sleep" (Ps. 76:5; Jer. 51:39; Acts 13:36; 2       Pet. 3:9.                (6.) "I go whence I shall not return" (Job 10:21); "Make me to       know mine end" (Ps. 39:4); "to depart" (Phil. 1:23).                The grave is represented as "the gates of death" (Job 38:17;       Ps. 9:13; 107:18). The gloomy silence of the grave is spoken of       under the figure of the "shadow of death" (Jer. 2:6).                Death is the effect of sin (Heb. 2:14), and not a "debt of       nature." It is but once (9:27), universal (Gen. 3:19), necessary       (Luke 2:28-30). Jesus has by his own death taken away its sting       for all his followers (1 Cor. 15:55-57).                There is a spiritual death in trespasses and sins, i.e., the       death of the soul under the power of sin (Rom. 8:6; Eph. 2:1, 3;       Col. 2:13).                The "second death" (Rev. 2:11) is the everlasting perdition of       the wicked (Rev. 21:8), and "second" in respect to natural or       temporal death.                THE DEATH OF CHRIST is the procuring cause incidentally of all       the blessings men enjoy on earth. But specially it is the       procuring cause of the actual salvation of all his people,       together with all the means that lead thereto. It does not make       their salvation merely possible, but certain (Matt. 18:11; Rom.       5:10; 2 Cor. 5:21; Gal. 1:4; 3:13; Eph. 1:7; 2:16; Rom.       8:32-35).

Dodai       loving, one of David's captains (1 Chr. 27:4). (See DODO       ¯T0001053 [2].)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Dodo       amatory; loving. (1.) A descendant of Issachar (Judg. 10:1).                (2.) An Ahohite, father of Eleazar, who was one of David's       three heroes (2 Sam. 23:9; 1 Chr. 11:12). He was the same with       Dodai mentioned in 1 Chr. 27:4.                (3.) A Bethlehemite, and father of Elhanan, who was one of       David's thirty heroes (2 Sam. 23:24).
