Fault \Fault\, n.       1. (Elec.) A defective point in an electric circuit due to a             crossing of the parts of the conductor, or to contact with             another conductor or the earth, or to a break in the             circuit.          2. (Geol. & Mining) A dislocation caused by a slipping of             rock masses along a plane of facture; also, the dislocated             structure resulting from such slipping.          Note: The surface along which the dislocated masses have                moved is called the          {fault plane}. When this plane is vertical, the fault is a          {vertical fault}; when its inclination is such that the             present relative position of the two masses could have             been produced by the sliding down, along the fault plane,             of the mass on its upper side, the fault is a          {normal}, [or] {gravity}, {fault}. When the fault plane is so             inclined that the mass on its upper side has moved up             relatively, the fault is then called a          {reverse} (or {reversed}), {thrust}, or {overthrust},       {fault}. If no vertical displacement has resulted, the fault             is then called a          {horizontal fault}. The linear extent of the dislocation             measured on the fault plane and in the direction of             movement is the          {displacement}; the vertical displacement is the          {throw}; the horizontal displacement is the          {heave}. The direction of the line of intersection of the             fault plane with a horizontal plane is the          {trend} of the fault. A fault is a          {strike fault} when its trend coincides approximately with             the strike of associated strata (i.e., the line of             intersection of the plane of the strata with a horizontal             plane); it is a          {dip fault} when its trend is at right angles to the strike;             an          {oblique fault} when its trend is oblique to the strike.             Oblique faults and dip faults are sometimes called          {cross faults}. A series of closely associated parallel             faults are sometimes called          {step faults} and sometimes          {distributive faults}.

disk drive          (Or "hard disk drive", "hard drive",       "floppy disk drive", "floppy drive") A {peripheral} device       that reads and writes {hard disks} or {floppy disks}.   The       drive contains a motor to rotate the disk at a constant rate       and one or more read/write heads which are positioned over the       desired {track} by a servo mechanism.   It also contains the       electronics to amplify the signals from the heads to normal       digital logic levels and vice versa.          In order for a disk drive to start to read or write a given       location a read/write head must be positioned radially over       the right track and rotationally over the start of the right       sector.          Radial motion is known as "{seek}ing" and it is this which       causes most of the intermittent noise heard during disk       activity.   There is usually one head for each disk surface and       all heads move together.   The set of locations which are       accessible with the heads in a given radial position are known       as a "{cylinder}".   The "{seek time}" is the time taken to       seek to a different cylinder.          The disk is constantly rotating (except for some {floppy disk}       drives where the motor is switched off between accesses to       reduce wear and power consumption) so positioning the heads       over the right sector is simply a matter of waiting until it       arrives under the head.   With a single set of heads this       "{rotational latency}" will be on average half a revolution       but some big drives have multiple sets of heads spaced at       equal angles around the disk.          If seeking and rotation are independent, access time is seek       time + rotational latency.   When accessing multiple tracks       sequentially, data is sometimes arranged so that by the time       the seek from one track to the next has finished, the disk has       rotated just enough to begin accessing the next track.          See also {sector interleave}.          The disks may be {removable disks}; floppy disks always are,       removable hard disks were common on {mainframes} and       {minicomputers} but less so on {microcomputers} until the mid       1990s(?) with products like the {Zip Drive}.          A {CD-ROM} drive is not usually referred to as a disk drive.          Two common interfaces for disk drives (and other devices) are       {SCSI} and {IDE}.   {ST506} used to be common in microcomputers       (in the 1980s?).          (1997-04-15)

Distributed Data Management          (DDM) An {IBM} {data} {protocol}       architecture for data management services across {distributed}       systems in an {SNA} environment.          DDM provides a common {data management language} for data       interchange among different IBM system platforms.          Products supporting DDM include {AS/400}, {System/36},       {System/38} and {CICS/DDM}.          On the AS/400, DDM controls remote file processing.       DDM enables application programs running on one AS/400       system to access data files stored on another system       supporting DDM. Similarly, other systems that have DDM can       access files in the database of the local AS/400 system.       DDM makes it easier to distribute file processing between two       or more systems.          {OS/400 Distributed Data Management V3R6 Reference       (http://as400bks.rochester.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/bookmgr.cmd/BOOKS/QBJALH00/CCONTENTS)}.          (1999-04-26)

distributed system          A collection of (probably heterogeneous) automata whose       distribution is transparent to the user so that the system       appears as one local machine.   This is in contrast to a       network, where the user is aware that there are several       machines, and their location, storage replication, load       balancing and functionality is not transparent.   Distributed       systems usually use some kind of {client-server} organisation.          Distributed systems are considered by some to be the "next       wave" of computing.          {Distributed Computing Environment} is the {Open Software       Foundation}'s software architecture for distributed systems.          {(http://www.dstc.edu.au/AU/research_news/dist-env.html)}.          (1994-12-06)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Daughter       This word, besides its natural and proper sense, is used to       designate, (1.) A niece or any female descendant (Gen. 20:12;       24:48; 28:6). (2.) Women as natives of a place, or as professing       the religion of a place; as, "the daughters of Zion" (Isa.       3:16), "daughters of the Philistines" (2 Sam. 1:20). (3.) Small       towns and villages lying around a city are its "daughters," as       related to the metropolis or mother city. Tyre is in this sense       called the daughter of Sidon (Isa. 23:12). (4.) The people of       Jerusalem are spoken of as "the daughters of Zion" (Isa. 37:22).       (5.) The daughters of a tree are its boughs (Gen. 49:22). (6.)       The "daughters of music" (Eccl. 12:4) are singing women.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Doctor       (Luke 2:46; 5:17; Acts 5:34), a teacher. The Jewish doctors       taught and disputed in synagogues, or wherever they could find       an audience. Their disciples were allowed to propose to them       questions. They assumed the office without any appointment to       it. The doctors of the law were principally of the sect of the       Pharisees. Schools were established after the destruction of       Jerusalem at Babylon and Tiberias, in which academical degrees       were conferred on those who passed a certain examination. Those       of the school of Tiberias were called by the title "rabbi," and       those of Babylon by that of "master."
