A dopaminergic nerve fibre is a nerve fibre for which the neurotransmitter is dopamine; that is to say, it is triggered into firing when incident nerves that form a synapse with it releases dopamine into the synaptic cleft.

Dopaminergic nerve terminals are present in many brain nuclei, and are particularly associated with those that control emotional and motivational behaviour, as well as the control of movement. Disorders in the dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra in the basal ganglia of the brain are known to result in Parkinson’s Disease.

Dopaminergic nerve terminals contain a number of uptake mechanisms for the transmitters that are released into the synaptic cleft. These uptake mechanisms are the target for numerous drugs.

Proof of insurance (POI) is any type of documentation that a person can provide to another individual proving that the person has valid insurance with an insurance company.

The most common form of a POI is a paper card provided by the insurance company listing policy information and effective dates.

Many states require that a person carry proof of insurance in their automobiles or on their person while driving. If a person is questioned by a law enforcement official, they must provide proof of insurance. A citation is generally issued if the person cannot provide such documentation.

Dell On Call is a limited and fee based service that covers certain computer issues as an extension to Dell’s normal limited hardware warranties (Said warranties only cover pre-installed physical hardware, drivers and the Operating system, the most expensive components of the computer). Dell on Call started on November 15, 2005 by Dell as a replacement to Dell HelpDesk plans sold up until that date. Dell on Call is only for American Home and Small Business customers, as large businesses tend to spend hundred of thousands of dollars on in-house staff dedicated to taking care of the covered issues. Dell On Call representatives are trained to do their best to please customers by not only resolving issues that customers have, but also giving lessons about what went wrong, how to find a solution to the issue and how to prevent it from happening again. Dell on Call has several different levels of contracts and pricing schemes that suit people’s needs differently.

Michael Saul Dell (born February 23, 1965, in Houston, Texas) is the founder and CEO of Dell, Inc.

Biography

Early life and education

The son of an orthodontist, Dell was born in to an upper-class Jewish family and attended Herod Elementary School in Houston, Texas. Dell had his first encounter with a computer at the age of 15 when he broke down a brand new Apple II computer and rebuilt it, just to see if he could. Dell attended Memorial High School in Houston where he did not excel scholastically.
After graduating high school, he attended the University of Texas at Austin but abandoned that idea when he experienced early success in the area of computers and technology.

Career

While at the University of Texas at Austin, he started a computer company called PC’s Limited in his room in Dobie Center [1]. The company became successful enough that, with the help of an additional loan from his grandparents, Dell dropped out of college at the age of 19 to run PC’s Limited, which later became Dell Computer Corporation, then ultimately Dell Inc.

Over time, and despite a number of setbacks (including laptops that caught on fire in 1993, temporarily losing the consumer market to Gateway in the mid 1990s, and others), Dell survived the race to become the most profitable PC manufacturer in the world, with sales of $49 billion and profits of $3 billion in 2004. As Dell expanded its product line to more than computers, shareholders voted to rename the corporation Dell, Inc. in 2003.

On March 4, 2004, he stepped down as CEO of Dell but stayed as chairman of the board, while Kevin B. Rollins, then president and COO, became president and CEO.
On January 31, 2007, Michael Dell was reinstalled as CEO of Dell, replacing Kevin Rollins (who resigned earlier in the day).http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/01/technology/01dell.html?ex=1327986000&en=51d4bc242b1c6e8f&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss]

Accolades for Dell include: “Entrepreneur of the Year” from Inc. magazine; “Man of the Year” from PC Magazine; “Top CEO in American Business” from Worth Magazine; “CEO of the Year” from Financial World and Industry Week magazines. At a speech before the Detroit Economic Club in November, 1999, Dell defined the “3 C’s” of e-commerce (content, commerce, and community) while articulating his strategy for offering a superior customer experience online.

In 2002 he received an Honorary Doctorate in Economic Science from the University of Limerick, in honor of his investment in Ireland and the local community along with his support for educational initiatives.http://www.ul.ie/main/news/dell.doc University of Limerick Press Release, 29 May 2002

Dell’s investment company

In 1998 Michael Dell founded MSD Capital LP, a private investment firm, to invest in various small companies on Dell’s behalf. According to reports, the firm tends to invest in “late stage” investments rather than early in a company’s startup.

“Shut Down Apple”

Dell had a public war of words with Apple CEO Steve Jobs, starting when Jobs first criticized Dell for making “un-innovative beige boxes”. On October 6, 1997, when Dell was asked what he would do if he owned then-troubled Apple Computer, he said “I’d shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders.”CNet Dell would regret these words after Jobs returned as Apple CEO in 1998. By early 2006 Apple was worth more (based on market valuation) than Dell. By October 2007 Apple was worth more than twice Dell’s value (AAPL:$160B - DELL:$62B). Dell resumed the CEO duties (replacing Kevin Rollins) at his troubled company in January 2007, and market value increased 11% in 9 months. During that same time Jobs’ Apple increased its market value 92%.

Philanthropy

On May 15, 2006, The University of Texas at Austin announced a $50 million grant from the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation to “bring excellence in children’s health and education to Austin”. The grant will enable the construction of 3 new facilities at the university. The first is the Dell Pediatric Research Institute which is expected to complement the new Dell Children’s Medical Center nearby. The second is a new computer science building on the UT campus named Dell Computer Science Hall. The third is the Michael and Susan Dell Center for Advancement of Healthy Living, which is intended to address issues that affect healthy childhood development.

Wealth and Personal Life

As of 2007, Forbes estimates Michael Dell’s net worth at $15.8 billion, making him the 30th richest person in the world and the 9th richest American http://www.statesman.com/business/content/business/stories/technology/03/09/9billionaires.html statesman.com.

Dell currently resides in Austin, Texas with his wife, Susan, and their four children.Biographical details and interview He has three daughters: Kira (15), Alexa (13), Juliette (10) and a son, Zachary (10).http://philanthropy.com/free/articles/v18/i12/12000901.htm

State Route 283, also known as SR-283, is a the shortest state highway in California, extending only 0.36 miles (0.576 km). Unsigned along its entire length, SR-283 runs from U.S. Route 101 south of Rio Dell to the north end of the Eel River Bridge in Rio Dell. The route was defined in 1970 as a transfer from a realigned Route 101.

State Route 283 largely serves as a trunk route into Rio Dell while relegating the maintenance of the Eel River Bridge to Caltrans. The bridge itself was built in 1941, when U.S. Route 101 ran through what was then known as Eagle Prairie. In 1977, the bridge was renamed the Albert Stanwood Murphy Memorial Bridge, in honor of the Pacific Lumber president who assisted the Save-the-Redwoods League. In 1990, the bridge was given a second name, the Eagle Prairie Bridge, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the bridge’s construction and the 25th anniversary of Rio Dell’s incorporation.

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

Most major Computer manufacturers offer some form of recycling, often as a free replacement service when purchasing a new PC. At the user’s request they may mail in their old computer, or arrange for pickup from the manufacturer. Nevertheless many computers still end up in landfill, and manufacturings are increasing their efforts to address environmental concerns. Dell reports it diverted 11,500 desktops and laptops from landfill in Canada during 2006.

The Secondary Computer Industry

The computer hardware market is a fast paced, changing and competitive marketplace in which rapid technological obsolescence is a significant challenge for manufacturers, resellers and customers. The reseller market segment is known as a competitive, low-margin subset of the market. The primary computer market consists of the sale of the new equipment from OEM directly and indirectly through the reseller channel. The secondary reseller market consists of companies reselling new, end-of-line, discontinued and used/refurbished product.

End-of-line, discontinued and factory refurbished products are sold to the secondary market by the OEMs such as IBM, Compaq/HP. Purchases of this type of product require some form of reseller authorization. With the rapid rates of technology introduction and steep depreciation curves, manufacturers require a secure channel for selling end-of-line and discontinued product. This product has manufacturer warranty and is often factory sealed product.

Used/refurbished product are sold too or disposed of, in the secondary market by leasing companies and large corporate end users. Managing the lease returns and end-of-life assets for these companies is a significant task that has economic, environmental, and security / privacy implications. To serve this market segment different types of companies exist including many “Fee for service” facilities that test, report, and warehouse for third parties.

In the UK, there is a growing market for companies (such as IT Green andReiterate UK) who will collect, and then re-use or recycle unwanted computer equipment. Such companies usually provide a service to recover, then refurbish usable equipment, or arrange environmentally friendly disposal of non-working equipment. The recent introductions of the WEEE and ROHS directives in Europe has caused these companies to be in greater demand. In 2006, Sir Alan Sugar of Amstrad Computers appointed “The Apprentice” winner, Michelle Dewberry, as MD of his new company aimed at meeting the demands of this market - Xenon Green. However, in September 2006 she left and the company is operating ‘at a low level’. See also Viglen (one of Alan Sugar’s companies.

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.

Shepperd’s Dell is a small canyon in the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon, located at
which is less than one-third mile (500 m) southeast of Rooster Rock State Park.

The Columbia River Highway runs over the dell on a bridge that was the answer to one of the engineering challenges of the highway’s construction. The dell was carved by a creek that includes two fairly substantial tumbling waterfalls. Due to the topography of the area, it is difficult to photograph the falls. As such, the bridge is what is normally pictured, and thus is arguably better known than the dell itself.

The spelling of the dell’s name tends to vary depending on the source. The official Oregon State Park site [1] spells it with the apostrophe, however the GNIS entry omits the apostrophe.

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

Hi-ho, the derry-o

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).

A physical plant or mechanical plant refers to the necessary infrastructure used in support of a given facility. The operation of these facilities, or the department of an organization which does so, is called plant operations.

This usually includes air conditioning (both heating and cooling systems) and other mechanical systems. It often also includes the maintenance of other systems, such as plumbing and lighting.

The facility itself may be an office building, a school campus, military base, apartment complex, or the like.

This should not be confused with a manufacturing plant.

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.

The pairs trade was developed in the late 1980s by quantitative analysts. They found that certain securities, often competitors in the same sector, were correlated in their day-to-day price movements. When the correlation broke down, i.e. one stock traded up while the other traded down, they would sell the outperforming stock and buy the underperforming one, betting that the “spread” between the two would eventually converge.

Some real-life examples of potentially correlated pairs:

• Coca-Cola (KO) and Pepsi (PEP)
• Wal-Mart (WMT) and Target (TGT)
• Dell (DELL) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ)
• Ford (F) and General Motors (GM)

The pairs trade helps to hedge sector- and market-risk. For example, if the market as a whole crashes and your two stocks plummet along with it, you should experience a gain on the short position and a negating loss on the long position, leaving your profit close to zero in spite of the large move. In a pairs trade, you are not making a bet on the direction of the stocks in absolute terms, but on the direction of the stocks relative to each other.

Algorithmic Pairs Trading

Today, Pairs trading is often conducted using algorithmic trading strategies on an Execution Management System. These strategies are typically built around models that define the spread based on historical data mining and analysis. The algorithm monitors for deviations in price, automatically buying and selling to capitalize on market inefficiencies. The advantage in terms of reaction time allows that traders to take advantage of tighter spreads.

Werewolf is a fictional superhero that appeared in comics published by Dell Comics. Werewolf was part of Dell Comic’s attempt to capitalize on the popularity of the Universal Pictures monsters (the other two were Dracula and Frankenstein). Werewolf first appeared in Werewolf #1 (December 1966).

Publication history

Credit for the scripts is unclear, but they may have been written by Don Segall; artwork for all three issues was provided by Bill Fracchio, with inks by Tony Tallarico.

Fictional character biography

Werewolf is really Airforce Major Wiley Wolf. After crashing in the Arctic Circle, he lived with a group of wolves, saving one he named Thor. After being rescued he became a CIA operative, along with Thor. The CIA provides Wolf with a high-tech suit, which makes him bulletproof and protects him from chemicals and gases. He uses the suit to fight the enemies of freedom and democracy.

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.

Flashing Swords! was a series of fantasy anthologies published by Dell Books from 1973 to 1981 under the editorship of Lin Carter. It showcased the heroic fantasy work of the members of the Swordsmen and Sorcerers’ Guild of America (SAGA), a somewhat informal literary group active from the 1960s to the 1980s, of which Carter was the guiding force. Most of the important sword and sorcery writers at the time of the group’s founding were members; later, membership was extended to other fantasy authors.

The Flashing Swords! series provides a cross-section of the heroic fantasy of the period. Carter and SAGA also sponsored The Gandalf Award from 1974-1981. With the collapse of Carter’s health in the 1980s the anthology series, the Gandalf award, and likely SAGA itself all went into abeyance.

Brain Boy was a short-lived superhero comic published by Dell Comics in the early 1960s.

Brain Boy was Matt Price. When his mother was still pregnant with him, a car accident with an electrical tower killed his father and gave him mental powers. These power would include telepathy, levitation, and the able to control minds. Graduating from high school, he is recruited by another telepath to work for a secret government agency, fighting against communists and other “enemies of freedom” who are using their own telepathic agents against the West. “Brain Boy” was just his nickname, and he never had any kind of costume.

The first issue was Four Color Comics #1330 in 1962, soon followed by Brain Boy #2. The last issue would be #6 in 1963. Brain Boy was created by Herb Castle and Gil Kane. Frank Springer took over the artwork for the spin-off series.

Dmytro Yavornytsky (, , also known by his pen name as Evarnitsky), (November, 6 1855- August, 5 1940) was a noted Ukrainian historian, archeologist, ethnographer, folklorist, and lexicographer. He was one of the most prominent investigators of the Ukrainian Cossacks, especially the Zaporozhian Cossacks (see Zaporozhian Host), and the author of their first general history. In recognition of his manifold contributions to the preservation of Zaporozhian history and culture, he is widely known as “the Father of the Zaporozhians”.

Education and career

Yavornytsky was educated at Kharkiv, Kazan, and Warsaw universities but his academic career was repeatedly interrupted by the authorities for political reasons. Both as a student and later as a teacher he was accused of Ukrainian “separatism” and dismissed from his position. In the 1890s, he even was forced to go to Russian Turkestan to find employment. In 1897, the Russian historian Vasily Klyuchevsky helped him to obtain a position as lecturer on the Zaporozhian Cossacks at Moscow University, but in 1902, when he was offered a position as Director of the Yekaterinoslav Historical Museum in central Ukraine, he gladly accepted and remained there to the end of his life.

Historian

As a historian, Yavornytsky displayed a romantic-antiquarian approach to his subject and was a conscious follower of his predecessor, the Ukrainian historian, Mykola Kostomarov. He was an enthusiast who avidly sought out both documents and material artifacts, as well as stories and the songs of the elderly, concerning the Zaporozhian Cossacks, and he wrote his histories on the basis of this material. He was a true pioneer of Zaporozhian history and was the first to compile an extensive archive of materials on their entire history from their origins to their demise. He published much of this material in various collections, often at his own expense. His major work was undoubtedly his History of the Zaporozhian Cossacks which was published in Russian in three volumes between 1892 and 1897. He planned but never completed a fourth volume. In this and in his other works, he portrayed the Zaporozhians as representatives of Ukrainian liberty. Later Ukrainian historians criticized him as being uncritical and unsystematic in his collection of source materials (Mykhailo Hrushevsky) and lacking an appreciation for Ukrainian statehood (Dmytro Doroshenko), but Yavornytsky wrote at a time when political circumstances and the Imperial censors were extremely oppressive and any synthesis of Ukrainian history which displayed an enthusiasm for the subject, let alone political independence, was highly suspect. His History of the Zaporozhian Cossacks was a pioneering work which did, in fact, display such an enthusiasm.

Other scholarly interests

As an ethnographer, folklorist, and lexicographer, Yavornytsky was similarly pioneering. He made numerous contributions to the historical geography of the Zaporozhian lands, and mapped in detail the Dnieper Rapids with the locations of the various Zaporozhian Siches, or fortified headquarters. He published a large collection of Ukrainian folksongs (1906; partly reprinted, 1990) as soon as the censor would permit it, contributed to Borys Hrinchenko’s great Ukrainian dictionary, and after the revolution, began publication of one of his own (1920). He increased the holdings of the Yekaterinoslav Museum from 5,000 to 80,000 items. He commissioned the best Ukrainian and Russian artists of his time (O. H. Slastion, S.I. Vasylkivsky, N.S. Samokish, and I. Repin) to illustrate his various books, which were, in fact, sometimes works of art in themselves. Especially notable in this regard is his From Ukrainian Antiquity (1900; reprinted in Ukrainian translation, 1991) which was lavishly illustrated in full colour and contained parallel texts in Russian and French so that it could be read abroad.

Legacy

During the repressions of the 1930s, Yavornytsky was prevented from publishing and had to keep a very low profile. During the Great Ukrainian Famine of 1932-33 (see Holodomor) he actually felt compelled to give away artifacts from his collections to obtain food for starving local peasants and others. His death passed unnoticed both in the USSR and in the wider world. But the Yekaterinoslav (today Dnipropetrovsk) Museum was eventually renamed in his honour. He was partially rehabilitated during the Khrushchev and Shelest eras, materials about him began to appear, and in the early 1970s, a four volume collection of his works was prepared for publication. Political circumstances again prevented this from happening, but with the advent of the Perestroika reforms in the late 1980s, new materials began to appear and his major works were republished. At that time, his History of the Zaporozhian Cossacks was reprinted both in Russian and in Ukrainian (1990-91). The Ukrainian edition contains numerous additional illustrations. In 2004, the first volume of his Collected Works in Twenty Volumes was published. The first ten volumes of this collection will contain his historical, geographical, and archeological works, the second ten volumes, his works on folklore, ethnography, and language. Today , Yavornytsky is still widely revered as “the Father of the Zaporozhians”.

• Yavornytsky is pictured on the painting of Ilya Repin “The Satirical Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks to Sultan Mehmed IV of Turkey” as the scribe penning the letter to the Sultan. Repin consulted the historian during his work on the painting and made use of several artifacts from his collection in it.

In the algebraic axiomatization of probability theory, the primary concept is not that of probability of an event, but rather that of a random variable. Probability distributions are determined by assigning an expectation to each random variable. The measurable space and the probability measure arise from the random variables and expectations by means of well-known representation theorems of analysis. One of the important features of the algebraic approach is that apparently infinite-dimensional probability distributions are not harder to formalize than finite-dimensional ones.

Random variables are assumed to have the following properties:

1. complex constants are random variables;
2. the sum of two random variables is a random variable;
3. the product of two random variables is a random variable;
4. addition and multiplication of random variables are both commutative; and
5. there is a notion of conjugation of random variables, satisfying (ab)^* = b^* a^* and a^** = a for all random variables a, b, and coinciding with complex conjugation if a is a constant.

This means that random variables form complex abelian *-algebras. If a = a^*, the random variable a is called “real”.

An expectation E on an algebra A of random variables is a normalized, positive linear functional. What this means is that

1. E(k) = k where k is a constant;
2. E(a^* a) ≥ 0 for all random variables a;
3. E(a + b) = E(a) + E(b) for all random variables a and b; and
4. E(za) = zE(a) if z is a constant.

Song

The song is one of the more hip hop-oriented songs on the album, along with Clint Eastwood. It features a horn section loop sampled from a track by British jazz musician John Dankworth and a sample of “How many of you ready to rock the house?” on the chorus. It can also be noted Del is the only one doing vocals in this song.

Music video

Directed by Jamie Hewlett and Pete Candeland.

It starts with a shot of the gate of Kong Studios. We then follow what appears to be Noodle riding on a tricycle through the hallways of the building, a reference to the horror film classic The Shining. It leads us past a door to a room where the Gorillaz are performing. A white mist appears among them and Russel passes out. Then we see the floor has turned into the ghost of Del, who rises up and throws the Gorillaz to the ground. Del is outfitted with protective gear including a helmet. In Rise Of The Ogre it explains he is dressed as Mr. Freedom. Del takes a few steps when from behind him a series of spring loaded guns shoot billiard balls at him, but he diverts them with his glove. A series of inflatable female gorillas appear and start to do cheerleading. 2-D is dodging the balls being shot at him by doing dance moves, but then he is hit by a few balls and knocked out. Murdoc then begins to divert the balls with specially padded (but only at the front) pair of briefs he’s wearing, hitting them away with his pelvic thrusts. He is successful a dozen times until a ball ricochets off the padded wall and hits his unprotected buttocks. The ball ricochets and hits Russel in the head, waking him up and making Del disappear. Russel looks around, noticing 2-D is unconscious, Murdoc is standing bandy legged, and Noodle is the only one in the original state. The final scene is a backwards shot of the first one.

Trivia

• In the beginning, the undead gorillas from the Clint Eastwood music video can be seen at the right of the cemetery that Kong Studios is located in. However, they are clearly not chasing Murdoc, as he is seen inside of the building.
• 2D’s shirt changes: at some points it’s a skull, at others it says “Spidey” with a picture of Spiderman’s head.
• In the storyboard for this, 2-D is wearing a Spider-Man mask.
• Murdoc himself has said that he hates this video.
