TECH TERM   A server is a computer that provides data to other computers.  It may serve data to systems on a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN) over the Internet.  Many types of servers exist, including web servers, mail servers, and file servers.  Each type runs software specific to the purpose of the server.  While server software is specific to the type of server, the hardware is not as important.  In fact, a regular desktop computers can be turned into a server by adding the appropriate software.  Regardless of the type of server, a fast network connection is critical, since all data flows through that connection.  Read more at http://techterms.com/definition/server

Dooley Wilson appeared in such diverse Broadway plays as the comedy "Conjur Man Dies (1936) and the melodrama "The Strangler Fig" (1940), along with various Federal Theater productions for Orson Welles and John Houseman.  He unfortunately began things off in demeaning typecasts as porters, chauffeurs and the like.  Unhappy with his movie roles he was about to abandon Hollywood altogether when Paramount lent him out to Warner Bros. for the piano-playing role of Sam and the rest is history.  In Casablanca (1942), Dooley immortalized the song "As Time Goes By" as boss and nightclub owner Rick Blaine (Bogart) and lost true love Ilsa Lund (Bergman) briefly rekindled an old romantic flame.  Dooley was not a pianist in real life and was dubbed while fingering the keyboard.   http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0933330/bio

Mapping the 1854 London Cholera Outbreak  Dr. John Snow is regarded as one of the founding fathers of modern epidemiology.  As London suffered a series of cholera outbreaks during the mid-19th century, Snow theorized that cholera reproduced in the human body and was spread through contaminated water.  London's water supply system consisted of shallow public wells where people could pump their own water to carry home, and about a dozen water utilities that drew water from the Thames to supply a jumble of water lines to more upscale houses.  London's sewage system was even more ad hoc:  privies emptied into cesspools or cellars more often than directly into sewer pipes.  The September 1854 cholera outbreak was centered in the Soho district, close to Snow's house.  Snow mapped the 13 public wells and all the known cholera deaths around Soho, and noted the spatial clustering of cases around one particular water pump on the southwest corner of the intersection of Broad (now Broadwick) Street and Cambridge (now Lexington) Street.  He examined water samples from various wells under a microscope, and confirmed the presence of an unknown bacterium in the Broad Street samples.  He had the pump handle removed from the Broad Street pump and the outbreak quickly subsided.  Snow subsequently published a map of the epidemic to support his theory.  The complete map https://www.udel.edu/johnmack/frec682/cholera/snow_map.png shows the locations of the 13 public wells in the area, and the 578 cholera deaths mapped by home address, marked as black bars stacked perpendicular to the streets.  Although the large workhouse just north of Broad Street housed over 500 paupers, it suffered very few cholera deaths because it had its own well (not shown on the map).  Likewise, the workers at the brewery one block east of the Broad Street pump could drink all the beer they wanted; the fermentation killed the cholera bacteria, and none of the brewery workers contracted cholera.   https://www.udel.edu/johnmack/frec682/cholera/

Murex is a genus of medium to large sized predatory tropical sea snails.  These are carnivorous marine gastropod molluscs in the family Muricidae, commonly called "murexes" or "rock snails".  The word murex was used by Aristotle in reference to these kinds of snails, thus making it one of the oldest classical seashell names still in use by the scientific community.  See picture at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murex

"Shoo-Fly Pie and Apple Pan Dowdy" is a popular song about Pennsylvania Dutch cooking, with music by Guy Wood and words by Sammy Gallop.  It was published in 1945.  The biggest hit versions of the song were recorded by Dinah Shore and by the Stan Kenton orchestra (with June Christy doing the vocal).  It was also recorded by Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians, and by Ella Fitzgerald.  The recording by Dinah Shore was released by Columbia Records as catalog number 36943.  It first reached the Billboard magazine Best Seller chart on April 4, 1946 and lasted 2 weeks on the chart, peaking at #7.  Shoo Fly pie (or Shoofly pie) is a molasses pie common to both Pennsylvania Dutch or Amish cooking and southern (U.S.) cooking.  Apple Pan Dowdy (or Apple Pandowdy) is a baked apple pastry traditionally associated with Pennsylvania Dutch cooking.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoo-Fly_Pie_and_Apple_Pan_Dowdy  Hear Dinah Shore singing Shoo-Fly Pie and Apple Pan Dowdy at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDA5ZDarEE4  1:34  NOTE:  In John Updike's novel Rabbit at Rest from the Rabbit series, the protagonist, Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom recalls the song.  When reading this, the Muser realized she didn't know what apple pan dowdy was and investigated.

Apple pandowdy is a dessert that is "dowdied" up when dough is cut into pieces instead of being left whole.  Find recipe at http://www.marthastewart.com/333959/apple-pandowdy

Chenille may refer to either a type of yarn or fabric made from it.  Chenille is the French word for caterpillar whose fur the yarn is supposed to resemble.  According to textile historians chenille-type yarn is a recent technique, being produced in the 18th century and is believed to have originated in France.  Back then the yarn was actually made by weaving a "leno" fabric and then cutting the fabric into strips to make the chenille yarn.  Alexander Buchanan is credited as the person who introduced chenille fabric to Scotland in the 1830s.  However, this technique was also independently developed on two other fronts.  Buchanan was a foreman who worked in a Paisley Scotland fabric mill. Here he developed a way to weave fuzzy shawls.  Tufts of coloured wool were woven together into a blanket that was then cut into strips.  They were treated by heating rollers in order to create the frizz.  This resulted in a very soft, fuzzy fabric named chenille.  Another paisley shawl manufacturer went on to further develop the technique.
