The Farmer in the Dell

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 6:13 am

The Farmer in the Dell is a children’s song, or nursery rhyme. It tells the story of a farmer in a dell who takes a wife, who takes a child, who takes a nurse, etc, until finally a rat takes a cheese, and the cheese “stands alone”.


Lyrics

The farmer in the dell
The farmer in the dell
Hi-ho, the derry-o
The farmer in the dell
The farmer takes a wife
The farmer takes a wife
Hi-ho, the derry-o
The farmer takes a wife
The wife takes a child
The wife takes a child
Hi-ho, the derry-o
The wife takes a child
The child takes a nurse
The child takes a nurse
Hi-ho, the derry-o
The child takes a nurse
The nurse takes a cow
The nurse takes a cow
Hi-ho, the derry-o
The nurse takes a cow
The cow takes a dog
The cow takes a dog
Hi-ho, the derry-o
The cow takes a dog
The dog takes a cat
The dog takes a cat
Hi-ho, the derry-o
The dog takes a cat
The cat takes a rat
The cat takes a rat
Hi-ho, the derry-o
The cat takes a rat
The rat takes the cheese
The rat takes the cheese
Hi-ho, the derry-o
The rat takes the cheese
The cheese stands alone
The cheese stands alone
Hi-ho, the derry-o
The cheese stands alone


Variations

Like most children’s songs, there are geographic variations, and in the United Kingdom this is known as The Farmer’s In His Den. The ‘Hi-Ho, the derry-o’ is variously replaced with ‘Ee-i, tiddly-i’ in London, ‘Ee-i, the addio’ (for instance in Northern England), and ‘Ee-i, ee-i’ (for instance in the West Country). In the UK, the rat is replaced with a dog and in the final verse, all other players pat the dog or alternatively its bone.


Circle game

Ten children (or more) join hands and dance around the FARMER, who stands in the center of the circle as they sing. At the end of the first verse,the FARMER chooses his WIFE, who joins him inside the circle. At the end of the next verse, the WIFE takes a CHILD, and so on, until the last verse when everyone is in the circle except the CHEESE, who stands alone. Whoever ends up being the CHEESE becomes the FARMER for the next round.


Trivia

  • On the HBO original television series The Wire, the Robin Hood-like thief Omar Little, who routinely robs Baltimore drug dealers at gunpoint, fearlessly whistles The Farmer in the Dell as he approaches, often punctuated with “The cheese stands alone.”
  • The book I Am the Cheese takes its name from the song.
  • In the book “The Secret History” by Donna Tartt, the character Bunny sings The Famer in the Dale to taunt the other characters who have accidentally killed a farmer.
  • The Cheese Stands Alone is the name of a card in the Unglued set of Wizards of the Coast’s Magic: The Gathering trading card game. It also appears as a goal in the Fluxx card game–to win when it is in play, one must have the ‘Cheese’ card as the only keeper in possession.
  • There is a French language version called “Le fermier dans son pré”. In the end “le fromage est battu” (”the cheese is beaten”)
  • There is a Swedish language version called “En bonde i vår by” (A farmer in our village).

The Dell (Southampton F.C.)

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 1:52 am

The Dell in Milton Road, Southampton, England was the home ground of Southampton Football Club, between 1898 and 2001.


Early days

The stadium was opened in September 1898, with the inaugural match on 3 September being against Brighton United. The first goal at the stadium was scored by Watty Keay and Saints won 4-1. The stadium had been built for an estimated £10,000 by George Thomas, a local fish merchant, who had bought the land just off Hill Lane and had transformed what was a natural dell, a lake flanked by banks of woodland. Thousands of tons of rubble had to be used to provide the foundations for the new ground. Initially the stadium had open staging behind each of the goals with stands along each side. The estimated capacity on opening was 24,500, of which 4,000 were seated.


Redevelopment

In 1927, the original West Stand was demolished (together with the club secretary’s house) and the new West Stand was built. This was designed by Archibald Leitch, one of the greatest football stand designers of the day, who had also designed stands at Roker Park and at Goodison Park. A year later, on the last day of the 1928-29 season a dropped cigarette caused a fire which destroyed the East Stand. A replacement stand was built which mirrored the West Stand, increasing the ground capacity to approximately 30,000.


Wartime incidents

On 30 November 1940, a German bomb fell on the stadium during The Blitz, creating an 18-foot crater in the Milton Road penalty area. While the pitch was being restored, Saints had to play their remaining fixtures in 1940-41 away, although in February 1941, they played a “home” War Cup tie with Brentford at Fratton Park, Portsmouth.

In March 1941, an explosion of munitions stored at the ground caused a major fire in the West Stand although this was rebuilt soon afterwards.

At the start of the 1941-42 season they played their home games at Dew Lane, Eastleigh, before the Dell was re-opened in October 1941.


Post-war

In 1950, The Dell became the first ground in England to have permanent floodlighting installed. The first game played under the lights was on 31 October 1950, in a friendly against Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic, followed a year later by the first “official” match under floodlights, a Football Combination (Reserve team) match against Tottenham Hotspur on 1 October 1951.

During the post-war years, huge crowds packed into The Dell. The attendance record was broken on 8 October 1969, when 31,044 watched Saints lose 3-0 to a Manchester United team which included George Best and Bobby Charlton.


Further redevelopment

In the 1980s there were several changes at the ground, with the makeshift chocolate boxes at the Milton Road end being replaced by a new stand, and the standing areas under the East and West stands being fitted with bench seats, before The Dell became an all-seater stadium in the wake of the Hillsborough disaster. New stands were erected at both ends of the stadium and the ground’s capacity plunged to a little over 15,000, the smallest in the top level of English football. The Milton Road Stand was notable for its wedge-like appearance.
[1]


Final days

By this time, the Saints were looking for a new home. In the 1990s it seemed as if the search was over as the club announced plans to move to a new stadium at Stoneham near Eastleigh. However, the club fell into a dispute with the local council about the lack of community facilities. Many people in Eastleigh were also unhappy with having another town’s football club in their area (Refer to EBC Planning application Z/32214/003/00
). The dispute was resolved when the Chairman, Rupert Lowe, declared new plans for the club to move to a new 32,000 all-seater, St Mary’s Stadium, for a cost of £32 million. In 2001 work was completed ahead of schedule.

On 19 May 2001, club legend Matthew Le Tissier said goodbye to the stadium that had been host to his entire career by scoring a spectacular volley in the final minutes of the last league game securing a 3-2 win against Arsenal.

On 26 May the club’s loyal fans said goodbye to The Dell by stripping all of its seats, the pitch and one man even walked off with an advertising board at the end of a friendly with Brighton and Hove Albion - making them the first and last club to play Southampton at the stadium. Saints won this game 1-0, with the goal (the last ever at The Dell) being scored by Uwe Rösler.

During its 103-year life, The Dell had been home to Southampton during some of its finest moments - most of all the 1976 FA Cup victory.

The Dell was demolished later in 2001 and a housing estate now occupies the site [2]. The blocks on the site bear the names of Saints Legends:

  • Stokes Court
  • Ted Bates Court
  • Le Tissier Court
  • Wallace Court
  • Channon Court

Ethnography of communication

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 2:47 pm

The Ethnography of communication (EOC) is the a method of discourse analysis in linguistics, which draws on the anthropological field of ethnography. Unlike ethnography proper, though, it takes both language and culture to be constitutive as well as constructive. According to Deborah Cameron (2001), EOC can be thought of as the application of ethnographic methods to the communication patterns of a group. Littlejohn & Foss (2005) recall that Dell Hymes suggests that “cultures communicate in different ways, but all forms of communication require a shared code, communicators who know and use the code, a channel, a setting, a message form, a topic, and an event created by transmission of the message (p. 312).”

So, EOC can be used as a means by which to study the interactions among members of various cultures: being able to discern which communication acts and/or codes are important to different groups, what types of meanings groups apply to different communication events, and how group members learn these codes provides insight into particular communities. This additional insight may be used to enhance communication with group members, make sense of group members’ decisions, and distinguish groups from one another, among other things.


History

Originally coined “Ethnography of speaking” in Dell Hymes eponymous 1962 paper, it was redefined in his 1964 paper, Introduction: Toward Ethnographies of Communication to accommodate for the non-vocal and non-verbal characteristics of communication.


Notable studies

Several research studies have used ethnography of communication as a methodological tool when conducting empirical research. A couple examples of this work include: Philipsen’s (1975) study which examined the ways in which blue-collar men living near Chicago communicated or did not communicate based on communication context; and Katriel’s (1990) study of Israeli communication acts involving griping and joking about national and public problems. These studies not only identify communication acts, codes, rules, functions, and norms, but they also offer different ways in which the method can be applied.

Sabrina Simoni

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 4:39 am

Sabrina Simoni was born in Bologna, Italy in 1969 and has been interested in classical music since her childhood. She graduated from Music Conservatory in Ferrara. She joined the Institute of Antoniano di Bologna around 1991. At first she was working with the teenager/studentchoir Le Verdi Note. When Mariele Ventre, the conductor of the better known Antoniano children’s choir Piccolo Coro dell’ Antoniano had to have an urgent operation exactly during the preparations of the 1992 children’s songfestival Zecchino d´Oro, she asked Sabrina Simoni and her friend Antonella Tosti (ex-Piccolo Coro singer) to take charge of the children’s choir and the preparations for the festival. Afterwards, Mariele Ventre has been teaching and preparing Sabrina Simoni to one day take over the direction of the Piccolo Coro. After Mariele Ventre’s death in 1995, Sabrina became the new conductor of the Piccolo Coro dell’ Antoniano.
Her job as conductor and music teacher to very young children has led Sabrina Simoni to publish two children’s books: Favole inCanto (2003) and La tastiera incantata (2003). Both books have the goal of developing a young child’s musical ear in a playful manner.

Dell Theory of Conflict Prevention

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 9:49 pm

Dell Theory of Conflict Prevention also known as simply “Dell Theory” has been presented by Thomas Friedman in his book The World Is Flat.

“The Dell Theory stipulates: No two countries that are both part of a major global supply chain, like Dell’s, will ever fight a war against each other as long as they are both part of the same global supply chain.” – The World is Flat ISBN 1-59397-668-2), Thomas L. Friedman, pg 421

That is, as long as corporations have major supply chain operations in countries other than that corporation’s home country, those countries will never engage in armed conflicts. This is due to the economic interdependence between nations that arises from a large corporation (such as Dell) having supply chain operations in multiple global locations and the reluctance of developing nations (in which supply chain operations commonly take place) to give up their new found wealth.

In his previous book The Lexus and the Olive Tree, Thomas argued that, no two nations with a McDonald’s franchise had ever gone to war with one another. This was known as the Golden Arches theory. But later upgraded that theory into the “Dell Theory of Conflict Prevention” by saying that people or nations don’t just want to have a better standard of living as symbolized by McDonald’s franchise in their downtown, but want to have the lump of the labour sector that is created by globalization. That is, developing nations do not want to risk the trust of the multi-national companies who venture into their markets and include them in the global supply chain.

Thomas Friedman also warns in his book The World Is Flat that the Dell Theory should not be interpreted as a guarantee that nations who are deeply involved in global supply chains will not go to war with each other. It rather means that the governments of these nations and their citizens will have very heavy economic costs to consider as they contemplate the possibility of war. These costs include the long-term loss of the country’s profitable participation in the global supply chain.

Edmund Dell

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 10:36 am

Edmund Emanuel Dell PC (August 15 1921 – October 28 1999) was a British politician and businessman.

Dell was born in London, the son of a Jewish manufacturer. In World War II, he served in the Rifle Corps and the Royal Artillery, leaving as a first lieutenant. He studied at Queen’s College, Oxford where he was a Communist Party comrade of Denis Healey, graduating with first class honours in modern history in 1947.

Dell soon began work for Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) in Manchester as an overseas sales manager, specializing in Latin American trade and eventually rose to Vice President of the Plastics Division. Dell soon began to find himself in the difficult position of balancing a career in business with Labour politics. In 1953 Dell was elected to Manchester City Council and served for seven years. He stood unsuccessfully for Parliament in 1955 in Middleton and Prestwich. Dell was dissauded from standing for Parliament in 1959 by ICI on the grounds that it would make promotion to the highest ranks of the company difficult. However, Dell eventually gave in to the temptation of Parliament and was elected to Parliament as the Labour Member of Parliament for Birkenhead in 1964. He served as parliamentary private secretary to Jack Diamond, then parliamentary secretary for technology under Tony Benn in 1966 and under secretary in economic affairs under Peter Shore in 1967. In 1968 he was promoted to minister of state for trade. Switched to employment in 1969, he was made a privy councillor in 1970.

Dell was one of the 69 Labour MPs to rebel against the Labour government to vote for Britain’s entry into the European Community in 1971. He subsequently refused to take a frontbench role while in opposition and served as Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee. When Wilson returned to Downing Street, Dell became Paymaster General, then Secretary of State for Trade and President of the Board of Trade in James Callaghan’s government 1976-78. He was tipped to become Chancellor of the Exchequer but resigned his seat, increasingly disillusioned by Labour’s drift to the Left as he moved sharply to the Right. He had always been much more oriented towards free market capitalism than his comrades in the Labour Party and grew increasingly uncomfortable in a party that was growing increasingly dominated by advocates of a planned economy and corporatism.

Dell later joined the Social Democratic Party and, after the SDP’s merger with the Liberal Party in 1988 was a member of the Liberal Democrats. Dell served as a trustee of both the SDP and the Liberal Democrats and served as one of SDP’s three representatives during emergency negotiations with the Liberals in January 1988 when it appeared the two parties’ merger might fall through after the failed launch by David Steel and Bob Maclennan of the joint manifesto, “Voices and Choices”.

After Parliament he had a career in business as chairman of Guinness Peat, founding chairman of Channel 4 and as a director of Shell Trading. In 1991-2 he was president of the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry. In 1996, he wrote The Chancellors: A History Of Chancellors Of The Exchequer 1945-90. His book, “A Strange Eventful History, Democratic Socialism in Britain” was published posthumously in 2000. It was a summation of his critique of the Labour Party’s long history being attached to what he saw as “much Keynesianism and too much of the detritus of socialism.” Although he had voted for Labour in 1992 and 1997, he still thought that New Labour ultimately “will not fully have entered the modern world until it learns to love capitalism with all its warts.”

Dell was married to Susan Gottschalk for 36 years.

Highway 47 is the former designation for U.S. Highway 62 between Rogers and Gateway and Highway 37 between Gateway and the Missouri State Line. Running a distance of approximately 18 miles, its southern terminus was at the intersection of U.S. Route 71 (aka 8th & Walnut Streets) in Rogers, Arkansas then passed through the communities of Avoca and Garfield before ending with its northern terminus at the Missouri State Line just north of Gateway. When U.S. 62 was designated in Arkansas in 1930, Highway 47 was truncated to the 1/2 mile segment from Gateway to the Missouri State Line where it continued as Route 37. In the early 1980s, Highway 47 was re-designated as Highway 37 to match the Missouri numbering of the road.

Gabriel Dell

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 11:40 am

Gabriel Dell (born Gabriel Marcel Dell Vecchio) (October 4, 1919 – July 3, 1988) was an American actor; one of the more unusual members of what came to be known as the East Side Kids/Dead End Kids/Bowery Boys.

Born in Brooklyn, Dell was, perhaps, the most successful of all of the gang away from their films. Dell almost made his stage debut a few years before Dead End when he and his sister were slated for roles in The Good Earth with Alla Nazimova and Claude Raines.

By the time he was cast in Dead End he had changed his last name to Dell, and after achieving fame with the other youthful thugs, Dell moved back and forth between Warner Bros., Universal and Monogram during the guys’ heyday, appearing as a member of the Dead End Kids, East Side Kids and The Bowery Boys before leaving the series in 1950.

He won a role in Tickets Please on Broadway, and also toured with former gang buddy Huntz Hall in a nightclub partnership that eventually caused them both to become divorced. Dell spent the next three years at the Actor’s Studio, married and had a son in 1956.

In the late fifties Dell joined the now-legendary stock company of The Steve Allen Show, along with Don Knotts, Louis Nye, Tom Poston, Bill Dana, Pat Harrington, Dayton Allen and Skitch Henderson. During this period Gabe developed a Bela Lugosi imitation that has since become the “official” Lugosi imitation (see any of the recordings done during this period.).

Over the next few years Dell appeared in several critically acclaimed productions on and off Broadway, and supplied all of the voices for an LP recording of “When Famous Monsters Speak”. In 1964 Dell won the role that brought him to critical and public fame again: the title character in Lorraine Hansberry’s The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window.

Dell had several other hits, a second son, a third wife, and roles on several prominent TV series in the fifties and sixties. In the latter part of his life, Dell also appeared as the propietor of The Corner Bar (1972) on ABC, a major supporting role in “Earthquake”, ” a 1976 pilot, Rusko, and A Year at the Top, in which he played opposite Mickey Rooney as the Devil’s son.

Dell died in North Hollywood of leukemia in 1988 at age 69.

Juan Bautista Rael

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 7:57 am

Juan Bautista Rael (August 14 1900 – November 8, 1993) was an American ethnographer, linguist, and folklorist who studied the people, stories, and language of the Northern New Mexico and southern Colorado areas of the Southwestern United States. Rael taught and studied at Stanford University and donated his considerable collection of ethnographic materials to the Library of Congress.


Childhood and education

Rael was one of five children (four sons and one daughter) of José Ignacio Rael and Soledad Santistevan. He was raised in the small town of Arroyo Hondo, New Mexico, near Taos.

Rael’s parents sent him away to school, because of limited educational options in their town, beginning in elementary school with Saint Michael’s College in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He also attended Christian Brothers’ College in St. Louis, Missouri and received a high school diploma.

In 1923, Rael received his B.A. from St. Mary’s College in Oakland, California in linguistics and folklore. That year, he married Quirina Espinosa.

In 1927, Rael received his M.A. from the University of California, Berkeley.

Rael began to focus on Alabados, or religious songs, of the Hispano region of Northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. He was familiar with these from childhood. He also began to study the folk and nativity plays of Mexico and New Mexico.

In 1933, Rael began his doctoral studies at Stanford University under the supervision of folklorist Aurelio Espinosa. Rael was awarded his Ph.D. in linguistics in 1937. His dissertation was on the phonology and morphology of New Mexican Spanish, later published under the title Cuentos Españoles de Colorado y Nuevo Mexico: Spanish Folk Tales of Colorado and New Mexico.

Apple Cinema Display

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 11:33 pm

The Apple Cinema Display is a product line of widescreen flat panel monitors made by Apple Inc.. Apple initially introduced the 22″ Apple Cinema Display in September 1999 alongside the Power Mac G4. The display used DVI, and was enclosed in a high-density plastic frame with an easel-style stand.

Apple upgraded the Cinema Display in July 2000, by running DVI, USB and 25V power through a single ADC connector. In March 2002, Apple replaced the 22″ model with a 23″ model supporting full 1080p resolution, which was redesignated the “Cinema Display HD”. In June 2004, Apple completely redesigned the Cinema Display line in an aluminum case, introducing a 30″ Cinema Display HD as the flagship model. These later models have an aluminum stand with a design similar to the current iMac stand, and a surface that matches Apple’s Mac Pro and MacBook Pro computers. They come in 20″, 23″ and 30″ models.

While designed to be paired with Apple computers, the displays are also compatible with other personal computers equipped with an appropriate video card. (The 30″ Cinema HD Display requires a dual-link DVI connection.) Currently LG.-Philips produces the LCD panel used by the Cinema Displays.


Criticism

While they are favored by graphics designers and Mac fans, the monitors have attracted some criticism due to their relatively high prices. One of the first notable examples is the comparison of the Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW with the simliarly configured 20-inch Apple Cinema Display of the 2004 generation of Cinema Displays. Both displays use the same LG.Philips LCD display[1]. At the release of the 2005 series of Dell LCD monitors, the Dell 2005FPW was the first widescreen monitor available retail at under $1000USD at the price point of $799USD while the 20-inch Apple Cinema Display stood at over $1200USD. As of April 2007, the 20-inch Cinema Display was selling for $599USD on Apple’s web site. In contrast, the Dell 2007WFP (a competing 20-inch widescreen LCD monitor) was selling for $399USD during that time.

The displays are also criticized for lack of drivers to support the displays. As a result of this, many users who attempted to make use of the USB and firewire connections (that connect from the displays to the computer) experienced problems including unresponsive display side buttons and the operating system not properly recognizing the display. This has led to the creation of unofficial drivers such as WinACD.

Alan Dell

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 6:53 am

Alan Dell (March 8, 1924 - August 18, 1995) was a BBC radio broadcaster, who probably did more than anyone else in the last quarter of the 20th century in Britain to ensure that the dance band music of the 1920s, 30s and early 40s remained in the public consciousness.


Formative years

Dell grew up in South Africa where he graduated from Keamsey College in Natal. He joined the South African Broadcasting Corporation in 1943, introducing for several years a programme called Rhythm Club. Moving to England in the 1950s, Dell worked on Radio Luxembourg (which then had recording studios in London), the BBC Light Programme and its successor Radio 2 until shortly before his death.


The Dance Band Days

Dell’s most celebrated programme, The Dance Band Days, ran from 1969 (initially - and perhaps ironically - on Radio 1, the BBC’s “pop” channel, launched in 1967 as a replacement for the offshore pirate stations) until 1995 and, in later years, did so in a sequence on Monday evenings with Dell’s “other side”, The Big Band Sound. The former included recordings by the likes of Jack Hylton, Ambrose, Henry Hall, Geraldo and other dance bandleaders. The main elements of these programmes were retained after Dell’s death, in a Sunday night programme introduced on Radio 2 by Malcolm Laycock that was still running in 2007. (Dance band recordings were sometimes played also on the digital channel PrimeTime Radio 2000-6.)


Other work for the BBC

Though Dell mostly presented programmes of music from the dance band and swing eras, he was also an early presenter of Pick of the Pops in 1956 and, in his later years, of Sounds Easy, a Sunday afternoon programme on Radio 2 which was notable for its attention to the recordings of Frank Sinatra and Peggy Lee (both of whom he pre-deceased). He has won a 1983 Grammy Award in the Best Historical Album category for The Tommy Dorsey/Frank Sinatra Sessions - Vols. 1, 2 & 3.


Digital technology

In the 1980s, with the onset of digital technology, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation used the Packman Audio Noise Suppressor, a machine developed by a sound engineer, Robert Parker (1936-2005), to produce stereophonic sound of high quality from 78rpm mono recordings (see The Stage, 1 March 2005). Dell provided the sleeve notes for Dance Bands UK (1988), a BBC compact disc of ABC “transfer” recordings, thereby illustrating his authority as a historian of such music.

Dell DRAC

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 12:00 pm

The Dell Remote Access Card or DRAC is an interface card which provides out-of-band management. The card has its own processor, memory, battery, network connection, and access to the system bus. Key features include power management, virtual media access and remote console, all available through a supported web browser. This gives system administrators the ability to configure a machine as if they were sitting at the local terminal.


Power Management

With the DRAC enabled and by having it’s own separate network connection a user may login and reboot the system even if the core operating system has crashed. If the correct drivers are loaded onto the Operating system the DRAC will attempt to shutdown the system gracefully. Without this feature and with the system running, the remote console can be used to access the operating system to shut it down.


Remote console

The remote console features of the DRAC let you interface with the computer as if you were sitting in front of it, and indeed you even share the local inputs from keyboard and mouse as well as video output (sound is not supported remotely). This is accomplished through an Active X or Java plugin (depending on the model) which gives you a window displaying the video of the local terminal and takes mouse and keyboard input. This behavior is almost identical to other remote access solutions such as VNC or RDP. In fact, the DRAC uses the VNC protocol.


Virtual media

The DRAC enables you to mount remotely shared disk images as if they were connected to the system. When this is combined with the remote console you have the ability to completely re-install an operating system, a task which had traditionally required local console access to the physical machine. Virtual media can be controlled through the browser or through the OpenManage tools provided by Dell.

The Vegan Prisoners Support Group is an organization based in the United Kingdom that provides support for vegans in prison. It was started in 1995. Although its main focus is providing support to vegans who are imprisoned for animal rights activity, it also campaigns for better conditions for more generally criminal vegans as well.

It complements the work of the Animal Liberation Front Supporters Group (ALFSG), which offers moral and financial support for imprisoned animal rights activists. The VPSG is purely concerned with ensuring vegans in prison have access to suitable food, clothing and toiletries.

Dell Digital Jukebox

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 7:10 am

The Dell Digital Jukebox or just Dell DJ was a brand name for a series of digital audio players sold by the Dell Computer corporation.

The Dell DJs were engineered by Creative Technology and based on the same hardware and software platform as their Creative NOMAD/Creative Zen digital audio players. For example, these devices also used a single TMS320DA25x processor as the main CPU, and the user interface such as the menus, playlists etc was very much the same.

On February 6, 2006, Dell announced the end of production of hard drive players and continued to only sell their flash-based player, the DJ Ditty. Dell spokesman Liem Nguyen commented, “We transitioned our lineup away from hard drives to focus on flash players.” On August 24 of that same year, Dell announced that they also discontinued the DJ Ditty in the face of competition from Apple, manufacturer of the iPod, and other MP3 player manufacturers.<ref name=”Dell Dumps the DJ Ditty”></ref>
“It (DJ Ditty) will end of life and when the supply runs out we will not have a follow-on product to that music player,” Dell spokesperson Venancio Figueroa said.


Models and history

  • The first-generation of Dell Digital Jukeboxes started out with two models: a 15 GB version for about $199 and the 20 GB version that cost $250. These initial models featured voice recording; MP3, protected and unprotected WMA, WAV file playback; and use as an internal hard drive (pending driver installation).
  • The introduction of the second-generation of Dell digital jukeboxes began with 5 GB Dell Pocket DJ (see below). Features unique to this second-generation of players were its smaller physical size and firmware that achieved Microsoft PlaysForSure certification. Since then, Dell has produced 15 GB, 20 GB and 30 GB versions of their players.
  • On September 2005, Dell introduced the Dell DJ Ditty, a 512 MB flash memory based player. Features unique to this model (apart from its storage medium) were smaller physical size and integrated FM tuner.
  • On October 11 2005, it was revealed that, both Sirius and XM (with partner Samsung) will offer an MP3 satellite player that fall. Dell then announced that it would upgrade to a third-generation DJ and Pocket DJ with capability to play XM radio streams pre-recorded on an accompanying dock system. A color screen would replace the monochrome display.
  • On February 6 2006, it was announced that Dell discontinued their hard drive based players, and will not release any future models at this time.
  • On August 18 2006, Dell discontinued production of the Dell DJ Ditty.


Dell Pocket DJ

The Dell Pocket DJ is a pocket sized player released by Dell in 2004. It holds 5 GB (2,500 songs) of memory for $199, which is the same price as the 4 GB Apple iPod Mini, which is now discontinued. The Pocket DJ has a 10 hour battery life and charges through a USB plug either through the computer or electrical outlet.

The Pocket DJ is compatible with many music stores and formats, such as WMA (Windows Media Audio), and MP3. It also sports a blue 160 by 104 pixel screen, although easy for most people to read in the daylight, it can be difficult to read at night, because the blue reduces the clarity of the screen. The buttons also light up on the front, providing easy navigation. The buttons include, Back, Home, Previous/Rewind, Play/Pause, and Next/FastForward.

If you view the Creative Zen Micro, the interface looks very similar, except the Pocket DJ does not have voice recording or FM tuner.

Similar to the iPod’s click wheel, the Pocket DJ has a small scroll barrel that can be used to scroll through playlists, etc. When you scroll to a song, you push down on the barrel and a menu comes up asking you if you want to play the song, add it to a playlist, delete it, etc. You can bypass the pop-up menu by pushing the Play/Pause button.


Dell DJ 20 and Dell DJ 30

The Pocket DJ has three siblings: the DJ 20, which holds 20 GB of music, DJ 30, which holds 30 GB of music, and the new DJ Ditty, a flash based player which holds 512 MB of music.


Dell Ditty

The Dell Ditty is a small player that has 512mb of flash memory (equivalent to 220 songs recorded at 64 kbit/s) and a built in FM tuner. It has a small screen showing the currently playing track. Different color caps are available for purchase through Dell. The Ditty has been discontinued as of August 2006.


First Party Software

Dell supplies two pieces of software with the purchase of a Digital Jukebox: The “basic” version of Musicmatch Jukebox and Dell DJ Explorer. The Musicmatch Jukebox software is used to copy, manage, and transfer music to the Dell DJ while the Dell DJ Explorer allows for the Dell DJ to be used as an external hard drive and provide more intuitive procedures to renaming, reordering, and simply putting songs on the music player by copying and pasting songs from the hard drive into the mp3 player.


Third party software

Beside the Dell included DJ Explorer program that is use to transfer music and data, there are other transfer and track/file management programs

  • Free software:

    • Amarok is a music player for Linux (homepage)
    • Creative Nomad Jukebox KIO::Slave is an integration driver for KDE (homepage) which should also work with the Dell DJs.
    • Gnomad is a DJ Manager for Linux (homepage)
    • Neutrino is another DJ Manager for Linux (homepage)
    • Nomadsync is a DJ synchronization tool for both Microsoft Windows and Linux (homepage)
    • XNJB is a DJ Manager for Mac OS X (homepage) note: OS 10.3 and later.
  • Proprietary software:
    • Dudebox Explorer (now known as Deubox Explorer) by Red Chair Software (homepage) is a transfer program for Microsoft Windows. This $25 program includes a file streamer and it can convert your MP3 player into a file server that you can access over the Internet.

Serafino dell’ Aquila

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 4:24 am

Serafino dell’Aquila (1466-1500), Italian poet and improvisatore, was born in 1466 at the town of Aquila, from which he took his name, and died in the year 1500. He spent several years at the courts of Cardinal Sforza and Ferdinand, duke of Calabria; but his principal patrons were the Borgias at Rome, from whom he received many favors. Aquila seems to have aimed at an imitation of Dante and Petrarch; and his poems, which were extravagantly praised during the author’s lifetime, are occasionally of considerable merit. His reputation was in great measure due to his remarkable skill as an improvisatore and musician. His works were printed at Venice in 1502, and there have been several subsequent editions.

Dorothy Dell

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 1:23 pm

Dorothy Dell (January 30, 1915 – June 8, 1934) was an American film actress.

Born Dorothy Dell Goff in Hattiesburg, Mississippi to entertainers, she spent much of her childhood in New Orleans, Louisiana. She began entering and winning beauty pageants and at the age of fifteen won the title of “Miss New Orleans”. With this success she established a successful vaudeville act.

In 1931 she moved to New York to appear on Broadway in the Ziegfeld Follies, and followed this success with her role in the production of Tattle Tales in 1933. During this time she was closely associated with Russ Colombo and her celebrity status was elevated by the media attention she received while denying rumours of an impending marriage.

She moved to Hollywood in 1933 and was signed to a contract by Paramount Pictures. She won her first film role over such established contenders as Mae Clarke and Isabel Jewell and made her debut in Wharf Angel (1934). The film was a success and the reviews for Dell were favourable; Paramount began to consider her as a potential star. Her most important and substantial role followed in the Shirley Temple film Little Miss Marker.

Her next film Shoot the Works led to comparisons with Mae West, and her rendition of the ballad “With My Eyes Wide Open, I’m Dreaming” in the film became a hit record. Paramount scheduled her to play opposite Gary Cooper and Shirley Temple in Now and Forever (film) in what was to have been her first major starring role as a romantic lead.

On June 8, 1934, Dell left an all-night party at an inn in Altadena, California and was going to Pasadena in the wee hours when the car left the highway, hit a telephone pole, bounced off a palm tree and hit a boulder. Dell was killed instantly. Her date (and reported fiancé), Dr. Carl Wagner, who was driving, died several hours later.

Dell was interred in Metairie Cemetery, in New Orleans, Louisiana.


Trivia

  • Her final role inNow and Forever was taken by Carole Lombard, and provided Lombard with one of her earliest significant successes.
  • Dorothy Lamour, a childhood friend of Dell, credited Dell as the person responsible for the beginning of her own film career. Lamour also won the title of “Miss New Orleans” in 1931, succeeding her friend Dell who had won the title the previous year.

Devonian Botanical Garden

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 11:49 am

The Devonian Botanical Garden is Canada’s most northerly botanical garden. It was established in 1959 by the University of Alberta, and is located near the town of Devon, Alberta. The gardens extend over 30 hectares (80 acres) of 12,000 year old sand dune shoreline of pre-glacial Lake Edmonton, and include an additional 40 hA (110 acres) of natural areas. In 1976 a further 40 hA were added and the name was changed to the Devonian Botanical Garden. It contains a diverse variety of plants and fungi, with emphasis on alpine and cold-hardy plants, but featuring such attractions as an authentic Japanese garden. Because of its connection to the University of Alberta, extensive research is carried out by the centres staff in areas including wetland ecology, biology of microfungi, horticulture, and phenology.

The Garden offers several display features: an alpine garden, an herb garden, a peony collection, a primula dell, an iris dell, a collection of Alberta plants, and a Native People’s garden. The Garden is open from May through November.

The Friends of the Devonian Botanical Garden was founded in 1971 as a fundraising group to support the aims and objectives of the garden. Because of its affiliation with the University it has an extensive herbarium and maintains a Members Seed List. It also produces various horticulturally related publications.

Edmund Dell

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 10:45 am

Edmund Emanuel Dell PC (August 15 1921 – October 28 1999) was a British politician and businessman.

Dell was born in London, the son of a Jewish manufacturer. In World War II, he served in the Rifle Corps and the Royal Artillery, leaving as a first lieutenant. He studied at Queen’s College, Oxford where he was a Communist Party comrade of Denis Healey, graduating with first class honours in modern history in 1947.

Dell soon began work for Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) in Manchester as an overseas sales manager, specializing in Latin American trade and eventually rose to Vice President of the Plastics Division. Dell soon began to find himself in the difficult position of balancing a career in business with Labour politics. In 1953 Dell was elected to Manchester City Council and served for seven years. He stood unsuccessfully for Parliament in 1955 in Middleton and Prestwich. Dell was dissauded from standing for Parliament in 1959 by ICI on the grounds that it would make promotion to the highest ranks of the company difficult. However, Dell eventually gave in to the temptation of Parliament and was elected to Parliament as the Labour Member of Parliament for Birkenhead in 1964. He served as parliamentary private secretary to Jack Diamond, then parliamentary secretary for technology under Tony Benn in 1966 and under secretary in economic affairs under Peter Shore in 1967. In 1968 he was promoted to minister of state for trade. Switched to employment in 1969, he was made a privy councillor in 1970.

Dell was one of the 69 Labour MPs to rebel against the Labour government to vote for Britain’s entry into the European Community in 1971. He subsequently refused to take a frontbench role while in opposition and served as Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee. When Wilson returned to Downing Street, Dell became Paymaster General, then Secretary of State for Trade and President of the Board of Trade in James Callaghan’s government 1976-78. He was tipped to become Chancellor of the Exchequer but resigned his seat, increasingly disillusioned by Labour’s drift to the Left as he moved sharply to the Right. He had always been much more oriented towards free market capitalism than his comrades in the Labour Party and grew increasingly uncomfortable in a party that was growing increasingly dominated by advocates of a planned economy and corporatism.

Dell later joined the Social Democratic Party and, after the SDP’s merger with the Liberal Party in 1988 was a member of the Liberal Democrats. Dell served as a trustee of both the SDP and the Liberal Democrats and served as one of SDP’s three representatives during emergency negotiations with the Liberals in January 1988 when it appeared the two parties’ merger might fall through after the failed launch by David Steel and Bob Maclennan of the joint manifesto, “Voices and Choices”.

After Parliament he had a career in business as chairman of Guinness Peat, founding chairman of Channel 4 and as a director of Shell Trading. In 1991-2 he was president of the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry. In 1996, he wrote The Chancellors: A History Of Chancellors Of The Exchequer 1945-90. His book, “A Strange Eventful History, Democratic Socialism in Britain” was published posthumously in 2000. It was a summation of his critique of the Labour Party’s long history being attached to what he saw as “much Keynesianism and too much of the detritus of socialism.” Although he had voted for Labour in 1992 and 1997, he still thought that New Labour ultimately “will not fully have entered the modern world until it learns to love capitalism with all its warts.”

Dell was married to Susan Gottschalk for 36 years.

Sulphur Dell

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 4:22 am

Sulphur Dell is the name of a former Minor League Baseball park in Nashville, Tennessee. It was used for baseball for nearly 100 years, from the 1870s until the early 1960s. From 1901 until 1963, it was the home of the Nashville Vols minor league team.

It acquired its unique name from being the site of a sulphur spring in the pioneer days. And that unique historical fact was only the beginning. Sulphur Dell was best known for having one of the most significant “terraces” or sloping outfields in baseball history, a steep incline that ran along the entire outfield wall, most dramatically in right and center fields. With a very short right field fence (262 feet down the right field line), right fielders were usually positioned about halfway up the slope. The area was subject to flooding when the Cumberland River exceeded its banks.

In his book, Ballparks of North America, Michael Benson expounds at length on the lovable eccentricities of this place. In general, outfielders who had to negotiate this terrain tended not to use the term “lovable”. According to many sources, they were more apt to call the ballpark “Suffer Hell”.

In 1969, the ballpark was demolished. Today it is the site of a number of parking lots north of the state capitol building.

Caer Dallben

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 8:36 pm

Caer Dallben is a small farm in Lloyd Alexander’s children’s fantasy series The Chronicles of Prydain. It has at all times a low population, and is named for its owner, Dallben the enchanter.


Population

Caer Dallben is small, and thus has a small population. When it is first shown in the books, three people live there: Coll, Taran and Dallben. This is later expanded to five by the end of The Book of Three when Gurgi and Princess Eilonwy take up residence there. For the rest of the series, the farm is never quite so heavily populated, though for a time the evil Achren lived there, working as a scullery maid and living in the barn, under the watchful eye of Dallben until she left to seek out and destroy Arawn. Also living in Caer Dallben is the oracular pig, Hen Wen.


Contents

Caer Dallben is a well-equipped farm. It has stables, although at any given time, there are most likely no horses living there. Melynlas, Taran’s horse and foal of Melyngar, Gwydion’s horse, is there only when Taran is, and this is not too frequent in the books.

Apart from the stables, it is also known that there is a small orchard and vegetable patch. There is also a pig sty for Hen Wen. Additionally, there is a smithy, although it is unknown what precisely it is used for — the only time in the books we see it used, Coll and Taran are making horseshoes for nonexistent horses.


Significance

Caer Dallben, although seemingly innocuous, is one of the greatest threats to Arawn’s power. This is principally because Dallben lives there, and the good enchanter will never bend to the power of Annuvin. It is said no servant of Arawn or the Death Lord himself is able to enter Caer Dallben. Dallben is considered wise throughout Prydain, so it is not unusual for Caer Dallben to get visitors requesting advice.

Also, Caer Dallben is notable because Hen Wen lives there. Hen Wen is an oracular pig, so that whenever prophecies are needed, she is called upon. She does not leave her sty on a regular basis, and only does so in The Book of Three when she leaves Caer Dallben altogether.

Lastly, the Book of Three (the fictional book, as opposed to the actual book by Alexander) is in Caer Dallben. The book was a gift to Dallben when he left the care of Orddu, Orgoch and Orwen. The book contains knowledge of the past, present and future. Inside the book is a prophecy about a child with no station in life rising to become High King.
