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).

Bible

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). Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary.

Specialty Definition: Calendar date

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A date in a calendar is a reference to a particular day by means of a calendar system. The calendar date allows the particular day to be identified and relative to all other dates. For example February 17, 2003 is ten days after February 7, 2003 in the Gregorian calendar.

In most calendar systems the date consists of three parts: the year, the month and the day of month. There may also be additional parts, such as the day of week. Years are counted from a particular starting point, usually called an era, but sometimes an epoch.

A date with the year part removed may also be referred to as a date or calendar date (e.g. February 7 rather than February 7, 2003). As such it defines the days of an annual festival such as a Birthday or Christmas on December 25th.

Date format

Related to the classification of a day as a specific calendar date, is the format used to express that date.

Even for one calendar system, different formats are used. For example, the following formats all express the same date in the Gregorian calendar:

These are further complicated by the common practice of abbreviating the year to its final two digits, and/or abbreviating the full name of the month to its initial three letters.

A significant amount of confusion arises from the ambiguity of a date order; especially with low day, month and/or year numbers, it is impossible to tell which order is being used. Various schemes are used to correct these ambiguities; common schemes include spelling out the month name (or its abbreviation) and using four-digit years. The ISO 8601 date order, with four digit years, is specifically chosen to be unambiguous.

d/m/y (day, month, year) is used by:

m/d/y (month, day, year) is used by: y/m/d (year, month, day), the ISO 8601 standard, is used by:

Dating

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A date is an occasion when one meets and goes out with a potential lover or future spouse. In this sense, the purpose of a date is for the people dating to get to know each other and decide whether they want to have a relationship. However, the term is also used to mean a social evening between people who have an established relationship, particularly if the goal is to relax away from day-to-day responsibilities, such as caring for children.

Fossil record

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Ever since recorded history began, and probably before, people have found pieces of rock and other hard material with indentations from the remains of dead organisms. These are called fossils, and the totality of these artifacts and their placement in rock striations is referred to as the fossil record.

The fossil record is one of the primary sources of data relevant to the study of evolution. Scientists examine fossils in order to understand the process of evolution and the way specific species have evolved.

Dating methods, such as radiometric dating (but not carbon-14 dating, which works only for 0-50,000 years before present), show that some of these fossils are tens of millions of years old. Various dating methods have been used and are used today, and while there is some variance in the results from these dating methods, nearly all of them provide evidence for a very old Earth and for evolution.

Lexicography

Devil's Dictionary

KING, n. A male person commonly known in America as a "crowned head," although he never wears a crown and has usually no head to speak of. A king, in times long, long gone by, Said to his lazy jester: "If I were you and you were I My moments merrily would fly -- Nor care nor grief to pester." "The reason, Sire, that you would thrive," The fool said -- "if you'll hear it -- Is that of all the fools alive Who own you for their sovereign, I've The most forgiving spirit." Oogum Bem KING'S :EVIL:, n. A malady that was formerly cured by the touch of the sovereign, but has now to be treated by the physicians. Thus 'the most pious Edward" of England used to lay his royal hand upon the ailing subjects and make them whole -- a crowd of wretched souls That stay his cure: their malady convinces The great essay of art; but at his touch, Such sanctity hath Heaven given his hand, They presently amend, as the "Doctor" in Macbeth hath it. This useful property of the royal hand could, it appears, be transmitted along with other crown properties; for according to "Malcolm," 'tis spoken To the succeeding royalty he leaves The healing benediction. But the gift somewhere dropped out of the line of succession: the later sovereigns of England have not been tactual healers, and the disease once honored with the name "king's evil" now bears the humbler one of "scrofula," from scrofa, a sow. The date and author of the following epigram are known only to the author of this dictionary, but it is old enough to show that the jest about Scotland's national disorder is not a thing of yesterday. Ye Kynge his evill in me laye, Wh. he of Scottlande charmed awaye. He layde his hand on mine and sayd: "Be gone!" Ye ill no longer stayd. But O ye wofull plyght in wh. I'm now y-pight: I have ye itche! The superstition that maladies can be cured by royal taction is dead, but like many a departed conviction it has left a monument of custom to keep its memory green. The practice of forming a line and shaking the President's hand had no other origin, and when that great dignitary bestows his healing salutation on strangely visited people, All swoln and ulcerous, pitiful to the eye, The mere despair of surgery, he and his patients are handing along an extinguished torch which once was kindled at the altar-fire of a faith long held by all classes of men. It is a beautiful and edifying "survival" -- one which brings the sainted past close home in our "business and bosoms."
