Talk:Vietnamese

My book
I also wrote a Vietnamese course Let's Learn Vietnamese

Writing a course
Great that Wikibooks will now have a Vietnamese course! I'm looking forward to it. I will probably start learning Vietnamese next year.

Have you seen the article on creating a language course on Wikibooks? I think it's quite useful. Also, you may want to have a look at the course format I found works best for students: Bite-sized language lessons. Good luck!

Junesun 15:24, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Continued updates?
Doesn't seem the material has been updated any time recently, so just wanted to do a shout out to let you authors know that there are those of us still interested in learning Vietnamese. Also believe my case is quite common: fluent Vietnamese speaker who can't write Viet and reads Viet using English phonetics (which is basically an educated guess most of the time... I can do it on the fly though ;D ), so if you folks could consider making a course for Native English speakers who know how to speak Viet but can't write or really read Viet, that would be great. <IP_ADDRESS> (discuss) 03:26, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Fan-out

Talk
Just wondering if people agree with the major overhaul that occurred since this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fan-out&oldid=352189187 I salvaged the equation since the text still referred to it.

other talk
To whoever wrote this article...you have my thanks. I have been trying to detirmine the number of possible fanouts in CMOS for sometime and have not seen it listed in major texts (R.J. Baker - Katz & Borriello). Is there anyone who might point me in the direction of a contemporary text that I could use to cite the 50 to 100 possible fanout lines possible with today's CMOS technology? I am writing a white paper and this would be very useful. Once again...this information already helps me conceptually. Thanks!

 * The article is kinda wrong anyway. unlike with TTL, CMOS fanout is almost entirely frequency dependant (at DC its in the tens of thousands iirc). Plugwash 11:09, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Tens of thousands huh... would this be possible at ULSI scales? Do you know of a good textbook or journal that contains this information? Thanks for your help. Mareschal

 * well i just did a little bit of checking looking at http://www.nxp.com/acrobat/various/HEF_FAMILY_SPECIFICATIONS.pdf and taking the figures for 15V (since thats the only voltage at which they specify the maximum input current) and using figures for 25 celcius the fanout would be

 * $$Fanout = \lfloor\frac{I_{out}}{I_{in}}\rfloor = \lfloor\frac{3.4*10^-3}{0.1*10^-6}\rfloor = 34000$$

 * it would be interesting to compare other CMOS families but they would all almost certainly fall into the realm of thousands at least at room temperature and hundreds even at extremely high temperature. However in reality it doesn't matter because you would never implement a system with thousands of gates unless you needed it to be fast (you'd just do it in software instead) and for fast cmos circuits there is no fixed fanout but instead a tradeoff between fanout and propogation delay. Plugwash 23:49, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Appreciate your help! Mareschal

I added some more info on AC fanout, which is the chief fanout concern. I also added a link which has the best description of the problem I could find.Ckrich 99 18:07, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Fan-out. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

List of Bob the Builder episodes

This is an episode list for the British children's animated television series Bob the Builder, which premiered on 12 April 1999. The series finale aired on 31 December 2011 as a mini series titled The Big Dino Dig, which ended the original series after 18 seasons.

Project: Build It (2005–2008)
This show was centred around Bob and his crew's adventures in their new home of Sunflower Valley. Many new machines were introduced, and throughout the episodes Bob always tried to be eco-friendly. The show's intro begins with one of Bob's crew and one of other machines doing the job before Wendy and Bob wave good morning and begin their jobs. The show ends with Bob's crew going to sleep and Wendy and Bob waving good night before one of Bob's crew and one of other machines does the job.

Ready, Steady, Build! (2009–2011)
The second spin-off is Bob the Builder: Ready, Steady, Build!. In June 2008, after production of Project: Build It wrapped up, it was announced that the series would be revamped for environmental CGI. The gang has now apparently moved to a place called Fixham Harbour and the show is now animated in CGI animation instead of the traditional stop-motion animation.

Emergency medical responder (EMR)/Critical interventions/Asystole

Asystole, also commonly known as "flatline" is the absence of all activity in the myocardium, be it electrical or mechanical.

As soon as an absence of a rhythm has been confirmed, CPR and intubation can be started (if not already) to maintain perfusion. The use of epinephrine (adrenaline in the UK) and atropine, to stimulate the heart is the current standard of care, as specified by ACLS guidelines.

As in many forms of cardiac arrest, prognosis is decidedly poor. Asystole remains one of the most important signs in pronouncing death.

Possible reversible underlying causes, to be considered in treatment include the Hs and Ts.

 * Hypovolemia
 * Hypoxia
 * Hydrogen ions (Acidosis)
 * Hypothermia
 * Hyperkalemia or Hypokalemia
 * Hypoglycemia
 * Tablets or Toxins (Drug overdose)
 * Cardiac Tamponade
 * Tension pneumothorax
 * Thrombosis (Myocardial Infarction)
 * Thrombosis (Pulmonary embolism)
 * Trauma (Hypovolemia from blood loss)

Mechanism
Asystole can also be primary or secondary. Primary asystole occurs when the heart's electrical conduction system intrinsically fails to generate a ventricular depolarization. This may result from ischemia or from degeneration (ie, sclerosis) of the sinoatrial (SA) node or atrioventricular (AV) conducting system. Primary asystole usually is preceded by a bradydysrhythmia due to sinus node block-arrest, complete heart block, or both.

Reflex bradyasystole/asystole can result from ocular surgery, retrobulbar block, eye trauma, direct pressure on the globe, maxillofacial surgery, hypersensitive carotid sinus syndrome, or glossopharyngeal neuralgia. Episodes of asystole and bradycardia have been documented as manifestations of left temporal lobe complex partial seizures. These patients experienced either dizziness or syncope. No sudden deaths were reported, but the possibility exists if asystole were to persist. The longest interval was 26 seconds.

Secondary asystole occurs when factors outside of the heart's electrical conduction system result in a failure to generate any electrical depolarization. In this case, the final common pathway is usually severe tissue hypoxia with metabolic acidosis. Asystole or bradyasystole follows untreated VF and commonly occurs after unsuccessful attempts at defibrillation. This forebodes a dismal outcome.

Treatment
Immediate diagnosis of asystole requires the recognition of a full cardiac arrest and a confirmed flat-line rhythm in 2 perpendicular leads. Lightheadedness or syncope may precede asystole when it follows a bradyasystolic rhythm.

If the rhythm is truly asystole and has been present for more than several seconds, the patient will be unconscious and unresponsive. A few agonal (final gasping) breaths may be noted, but detectable heart sounds and palpable peripheral pulses are absent.

The only 3 drugs recommended or acceptable by the American Heart Association (AHA) for adults in asystole are epinephrine, vasopressin, and atropine. In spite of full vagolytic doses of atropine (0.03 mg/kg) and high-dose epinephrine (0.20 mg/kg), or the use of vasopressin 40 units (U), few patients survive to leave the hospital neurologically intact. Atropine is no longer recommended in young children and infants in asystole but can be considered in adults with slow pulseless electrical activity (PEA) rhythms.

Epinephrine is used to increase coronary and cerebral blood flow during CPR. May enhance automaticity during asystole. Can be used for bradycardia in adult and pediatric patients.

In asystole, the heart will not respond to defibrillation because it is already depolarized. However, some emergency physicians advocate a trial of defibrillation in case the rhythm is actually fine ventricular fibrillation, although little evidence exists to support the practice.

Java Programming/History

On 23 May 1995, John Gage, the director of the Science Office of the Sun Microsystems along with Marc Andreesen, co-founder and executive vice president at Netscape announced to an audience of SunWorldTM that Java technology wasn't a myth and that it was going to be incorporated into Netscape Navigator.

At the time the total number of people working on Java was less than 30. This team would shape the future in the next decade and no one had any idea as to what was in store. From running an unmanned vehicle on Mars to serving as the operating environment of most consumer electronics, e.g. cable set-top boxes, VCRs, toasters and PDAs, Java has come a long way from its inception. Let's see how it all began.

Earlier programming languages
Before Java emerged as a programming language, C++ was the dominant player in the trade. The primary goal of the creators of Java was to create a language that could tackle most of the things that C++ offered while getting rid of some of the more tedious tasks that came with the earlier languages.

Computer hardware went through a performance and price revolution from 1972 to 1991. Better, faster hardware was available at ever lower prices, and the demand for big and complex software exponentially increased. To accommodate the demand, new development technologies were invented.

The C language developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie had taken a decade to become the most popular language amongst programmers working on PCs and similar platforms (other languages, like COBOL and FORTRAN, dominated the mainframe market). But, with time programmers found that programming in C became tedious with its structural syntax. Although people attempted to solve this problem, it would be later that a new development philosophy was introduced, one named Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). With OOP, one can write code that can be reused later without needing to rewrite the code over and over again. In 1979, Bjarne Stroustrup developed C++, an enhancement to the C language with included OOP fundamentals and features. Sun generated revenue from Java through the selling of licenses for specialized products such as the Java Enterprise System.

The Green team
In December 1990, a project was initiated behind closed doors with the aim to create a programming tool that could render obsolete the C and C++ programming languages. Engineer Patrick Naughton had become extremely frustrated with the state of Sun's C++ and C APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and tools. While he was considering to move towards NeXT, he was offered a chance to work on new technology and the Stealth Project was started, a secret nobody but he knew.

This Stealth Project was later named the Green Project when James Gosling and Mike Sheridan joined Patrick. As the Green Project teethed, the prospects of the project started becoming clearer to the engineers working on it. No longer did it aim to create a new language far superior to the present ones, but it aimed to target devices other than the computer.

Staffed at 13 people, they began work in a small office on Sand Hill Road in Menlo Park, California. This team came to be called the Green Team henceforth in time. The project they underwent was chartered by Sun Microsystems to anticipate and plan for the "next wave" in computing. For the team, this meant at least one significant trend, that of the convergence of digitally controlled consumer devices and computers.

Reshaping thought
The team started thinking of replacing C++ with a better version, a faster version, a responsive version. But the one thing they hadn't thought of, as of yet, was that the language they were aiming for had to be developed for an embedded system with limited resources. An embedded system is a computer system scaled to a minimalistic interface demanding only a few functions from its design. For such a system, C++ or any successor would seem too large as all the languages at the time demanded a larger footprint than what was desired. The team thus had to think in a different way to go about solving all these problems.

Co-founder of Sun Microsystems, Bill Joy, envisioned a language combining the power of Mesa and C in a paper named Further he wrote for the engineers at Sun. Gathering ideas, Gosling began work on enhancing C++ and named it "C++ ++ --", a pun on the evolutionary structure of the language's name. The ++ and -- meant, putting in and taking out stuff. He soon abandoned the name and called it Oak after the tree that stood outside his office.

The demise of an idea, birth of another
By now, the work on Oak had been significant but come the year 1993, people saw the demise of set-top boxes, interactive TV and the PDAs. A failure that completely ushered the inventors' thoughts to be reinvented. Only a miracle could make the project a success now. And such a miracle awaited anticipation.

National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) had just unveiled its new commercial web browser for the internet the previous year. The focus of the team, now diverted towards where they thought the "next-wave" of computing would be — the internet. The team then divulged into the realms of creating the same embeddable technology to be used in the web browser space calling it an applet — a small application. Keeping all of this in mind, the team created a list of features tackling the C++ problems. In their opinion, the project should ...

 * .. be simple and gather tested fundamentals and features from the earlier languages in it,
 * .. have standard sets of APIs with basic and advanced features bundled with the language,
 * .. get rid of concepts requiring direct manipulation of hardware (in this case, memory) to make the language safe,
 * .. be platform independent and may be written for every platform once (giving birth to the WORA idiom),
 * .. be able to manipulate network programming out-of-the-box,
 * .. be embeddable in web browsers, and ...
 * .. have the ability for a single program to multi-task and do multiple things at the same time.

The team now needed a proper identity and they decided on naming the new technology they created Java ushering a new generation of products for the internet boom. A by-product of the project was a cartoon named "Duke" created by Joe Parlang which became its identity then.

Finally at the SunWorldTM conference, Andreesen unveiled the new technology to the masses. Riding along with the explosion of interest and publicity in the Internet, Java quickly received widespread recognition and expectations grew for it to become the dominant software for browser and consumer applications.

Initially Java was owned by Sun Microsystems, but later it was released to open source; the term Java was a trademark of Sun Microsystems. Sun released the source code for its HotSpot Virtual Machine and compiler in November 2006, and most of the source code of the class library in May 2007. Some parts were missing because they were owned by third parties, not by Sun Microsystems. The released parts were published under the terms of the GNU General Public License, a free software license.

Versions
Unlike C and C++, Java's growth is pretty recent. Here, we'd quickly go through the development paths that Java took with age.

Initial Release (versions 1.0 and 1.1)
Introduced in 1996 for the Solaris, Windows, Mac OS Classic and Linux, Java was initially released as the Java Development Kit 1.0 (JDK 1.0). This included the Java runtime (the virtual machine and the class libraries), and the development tools (e.g., the Java compiler). Later, Sun also provided a runtime-only package, called the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). The first name stuck, however, so usually people refer to a particular version of Java by its JDK version (e.g., JDK 1.0).

Java 2 (version 1.2)
Introduced in 1998 as a quick fix to the former versions, version 1.2 was the start of a new beginning for Java. The JDKs of version 1.2 and later versions are often called Java 2 as well. For example, the official name of JDK 1.4 is The Java(TM) 2 Platform, Standard Edition version 1.4.
 * Major changes include:
 * Rewrite the event handling (add Event Listeners)
 * Change Thread synchronizations
 * Introduction of the JIT-Just in time compilers

Kestrel (Java 1.3)
Released on 8 May 2000. The most notable changes were:
 * HotSpot JVM included (the HotSpot JVM was first released in April, 1999 for the J2SE 1.2 JVM)
 * RMI was modified to support optional compatibility with CORBA
 * JavaSound
 * Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) included in core libraries (previously available as an extension)
 * Java Platform Debugger Architecture (JPDA)
 * Synthetic proxy classes

Merlin (Java 1.4)
Released on 6 February 2002, Java 1.4 has improved programmer productivity by expanding language features and available APIs:
 * Assertion
 * Regular Expression
 * XML processing
 * Cryptography and Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
 * Non-blocking I/O (NIO)
 * Logging

Tiger (version 1.5.0; Java SE 5)
Released in September 2004
 * Major changes include:
 * Generics - Provides compile-time type safety for collections :and eliminates the drudgery of casting.
 * Autoboxing/unboxing - Eliminates the drudgery of manual conversion between primitive types (such as int) and wrapper types (such as Integer).
 * Enhanced for - Shorten the for loop with Collections use.
 * Static imports - Lets you import all the static part of a class.
 * Annotation/Metadata - Enabling tools to generate code and deployment descriptors from annotations in the source code. This leads to a "declarative" programming style where the programmer says what should be done and tools emit the code to do it. Annotations can be inspected through source parsing or by using the additional reflection APIs added in Java 5.
 * JVM Improvements - Most of the run time library is now mapped into memory as a memory image, as opposed to being loaded from a series of class files. Large portion of the runtime libraries will now be shared among multiple JVM instances.

Mustang (version 1.6.0; Java SE 6)
Released on 11 December 2006.

What's New in Java SE 6:
 * Web Services - First-class support for writing XML web service client applications.

 * Scripting - You can now mix in JavaScript technology source code, useful for prototyping. Also useful when you have teams with a variety of skill sets. More advanced developers can plug in their own scripting engines and mix their favorite scripting language in with Java code as they see fit.

 * Database - No more need to find and configure your own JDBC database when developing a database application. Developers will also get the updated JDBC 4.0, a well-used API with many important improvements, such as special support for XML as an SQL datatype and better integration of Binary Large OBjects (BLOBs) and Character Large OBjects (CLOBs) into the APIs.

 * More Desktop APIs - GUI developers get a large number of new tricks to play like the ever popular yet newly incorporated SwingWorker utility to help you with threading in GUI apps, JTable sorting and filtering, and a new facility for quick splash screens to quiet impatient users.

 * Monitoring and Management - The really big deal here is that you don't need to do anything special to the startup to be able to attach on demand with any of the monitoring and management tools in the Java SE platform.

 * Compiler Access - Really aimed at people who create tools for Java development and for frameworks like JavaServer Pages (JSP) or Personal Home Page construction kit (PHP) engines that need to generate a bunch of classes on demand, the compiler API opens up programmatic access to javac for in-process compilation of dynamically generated Java code. The compiler API is not directly intended for the everyday developer, but for those of you deafened by your screaming inner geek, roll up your sleeves and give it a try. And the rest of us will happily benefit from the tools and the improved Java frameworks that use this.

 * Pluggable Annotations allows programmer to write annotation processor so that it can analyse your code semantically before javac compiles. For example, you could write an annotation processor that verifies whether your program obeys naming conventions.

 * Desktop Deployment - At long last, Java SE 6 unifies the Java Plug-in technology and Java WebStart engines, which just makes sense. Installation of the Java WebStart application got a much needed makeover.

 * Security - Java SE 6 has simplified the job of its security administrators by providing various new ways to access platform-native security services, such as native Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and cryptographic services on Microsoft Windows for secure authentication and communication, Java Generic Security Services (Java GSS) and Kerberos services for authentication, and access to LDAP servers for authenticating users.

 * The -lities: Quality, Compatibility, Stability - Bug fixes ...

Dolphin (version 1.7.0; Java SE 7)
Released on 28 July 2011.

Feature additions for Java 7 include:
 * JVM support for dynamic languages, following the prototyping work currently done on the Multi Language Virtual Machine
 * Compressed 64-bit pointers Available in Java 6 with -XX:+UseCompressedOops
 * Small language changes (grouped under a project named Coin):
 * Strings in switch
 * Automatic resource management in try-statement
 * Improved type inference for generic instance creation
 * Simplified varargs method declaration
 * Binary integer literals
 * Allowing underscores in numeric literals
 * Catching multiple exception types and rethrowing exceptions with improved type checking

 * Concurrency utilities under JSR 166
 * New file I/O library to enhance platform independence and add support for metadata and symbolic links. The new packages are java.nio.file and java.nio.file.attribute
 * Library-level support for Elliptic curve cryptography algorithms
 * An XRender pipeline for Java 2D, which improves handling of features specific to modern GPUs
 * New platform APIs for the graphics features originally planned for release in Java version 6u10
 * Enhanced library-level support for new network protocols, including SCTP and Sockets Direct Protocol
 * Upstream updates to XML and Unicode

Lambda (Java's implementation of lambda functions), Jigsaw (Java's implementation of modules), and part of Coin were dropped from Java 7.

Spider (version 1.8.0; Java SE 8)
Java 8 was released on 18 March 2014, and included some features that were planned for Java 7 but later deferred.

Work on features was organized in terms of JDK Enhancement Proposals (JEPs).

 * JSR 335, JEP 126: Language-level support for lambda expressions (officially, lambda expressions; unofficially, closures) under Project Lambda which allow the addition of methods to interfaces without breaking existing implementations. There was an ongoing debate in the Java community on whether to add support for lambda expressions. Supporting lambda expressions also allows the performance of functional-style operations on streams of elements, such as MapReduce-inspired transformations on collections. Default methods allow an author of an API to add new methods to an interface without breaking the old code using it. Although it was not their primary intent, default methods also allow multiple inheritance of behavior (but not state).

 * JSR 223, JEP 174: Project Nashorn, a JavaScript runtime which allows developers to embed JavaScript code within applications
 * JSR 308, JEP 104: Annotation on Java Types
 * Unsigned Integer Arithmetic
 * JSR 337, JEP 120: Repeating annotations

Cookbook:Pea

| Legume The pea (Pisum sativum) is a legume cooked as a vegetable in many cultures. It should not be confused with the pigeon pea, cowpea, or other legumes sometimes referred to as peas. There are many varieties and cultivars, and both the greens and fruits (pods and seeds) are eaten. Often the term "pea" refers specifically to the seeds extracted from the pods, although some varieties have edible pods.

Characteristics
Pea pods and their seeds are typically green, and sometimes yellow or purple. The shoots are green.

Harvest and processing
Fresh immature peas, sometimes called garden peas, are harvested in their pods when tender. The pods may be sold whole and the seeds extracted at home, or they may be commercially seeded and sold frozen or canned. Mature peas, sometimes called marrowfat or field peas, are left to dry in the field. They are then shelled before cooking. Split peas are made by peeling of the outer skin of harvested dried peas before splitting them in half. Sugar peas or mangetout, which include snap peas and snow peas, have edible pods and smaller seeds—these are typically eaten whole.

Pea sprouts are the first few inches of freshly-sprouted peas. Pea greens, also called pea shoots or tendrils, are tender young stems, tendrils, and leaves of the plants. Both sprouts and shoots are used as fresh vegetables.

Uses
Dried peas are often made into a soup or stew or simply eaten on their own. Fresh peas are often eaten boiled and flavored with butter as a side dish vegetable. Fresh peas are also used in pot pies, stews, salads, and casseroles. Sugar peas are used in stir fried dishes.

In the UK, dried, rehydrated and mashed marrowfat peas, known by the public as "mushy peas", are popular, originally in the north of England but now ubiquitously, and especially as an accompaniment to fish and chips or meat pies, particularly in "chippies" or fish and chip shops. They may also be used to make the traditional dish pease pudding. These same peas are also sold in cans, but not mashed. These are sold as "Processed Peas", named after the process of drying, rehydrating, then adding artificial colour and sometimes artificial mint flavouring. Sodium bicarbonate is sometimes added to soften the peas.

In Japan and other Far Eastern countries, such as Thailand, Taiwan and Malaysia, peas are roasted, salted, and eaten as snacks.

Samuel C. O. Holt

Samuel C. O. Holt (born January 18, 1936) is a radio and television executive who made significant contributions to the early development of the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and National Public Radio. As the first programming director at PBS, Holt helped created such programs as Masterpiece Theatre and The MacNeil-Lehrer Report (now PBS NewsHour). When NPR was formed in 1970, the leadership of the network followed many of the recommendations in Holt's report, Public Radio Study, which urged noncommercial radio stations to “think about being something other than ... a classical music turntable.”

Early years
Holt was born in Alabama on January 18, 1936. His family owned interests in several local radio stations. He studied European history at Princeton University, where he played wingback on the football team and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1958. As a Rhodes Scholar at the University of Oxford, he studied Anglo-American diplomatic history and was a classmate of musician Kris Kristofferson. He received a Bachelor of Philosophy degree in 1960 from Oxford and completed non-thesis doctoral work in military history in 1961.

After an internship with CBS TV News in New York, Holt worked as a reporter at WATV Radio in Birmingham, Alabama.

Public radio study
In 1967, Holt began teaching at Harvard and through a television-based course at WGBH-Boston. He became a protege of Hartford N. Gunn Jr. (president of WGBH) and was hired by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to be project director of the Public Radio Study and principal author of the program's 1969 report which “outlined a course of action followed by CPB in developing a national system of public radio.”

Holt found an "utter sense of poverty" pervading noncommercial radio and made recommendations to strengthen it. "When station managers were asked about the first thing they would buy after securing new federal funds, the most frequently mentioned piece of hardware was a typewriter," wrote Michael P. McCauley in his book, NPR. "Holt made several recommendations for strengthening the system, including a reallocation of relevant radio frequencies, a strengthening or expansion of FM radio (which had not yet reached its peak of popularity), and the establishment of an advisory board of experienced noncommercial broadcasters."

PBS and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting
When PBS was launched, Holt served as its Coordinator of Programming and helped develop such popular series as Masterpiece Theatre, Firing Line, NOVA, The Ascent of Man, and The Electric Company. He expanded news coverage, launching The MacNeil-Lehrer Report (now PBS NewsHour) and Morning Edition, modeled after his Birmingham program Morning Newsstand. At a time when the commercial television networks had no business-news reporting, Holt founded Wall Street Week. He hired Julia Child to “make cooking a public discourse” and Fred Rogers to launch his program for children.

National Public Radio
National Public Radio launched in 1970 following many of the recommendations made by Holt in his Public Radio Study. In 1977, Holt joined NPR as Senior Vice President for Programming and directed its Programming Division until 1983. There, he created new shows including A Prairie Home Companion, NPR Playhouse, The Sunday Show, and NPR Plus.

Later career
Holt is Chairman and CEO of Content Technologies, Inc. Holt has also served as a Manager and Program Analyst at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Commission in Washington, DC. He is a director of American Heritage Publishing.

Awards
Holt received the Edward R. Murrow Award (Corporation for Public Broadcasting) in 1983.

Cincinnati Commercial Tribune

The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune was a major daily newspaper in Cincinnati, Ohio, formed in 1896, and folded in 1930.

The Commercial Tribune was created in 1896 by the merger of the longstanding Commercial Gazette and newcomer Cincinnati Tribune. Murat Halstead was a well-known editor of The Commercial and The Commercial Gazette in the 1860s-1880s. A representative of John Roll McLean, owner of The Cincinnati Enquirer, acquired the paper in 1911, and continued to operate it as a Republican paper (as opposed to the Democratic Party slant of the Enquirer). The decline in Republican fortunes and the financial situation of the paper in general led to its close in December 1930.

History
The Cincinnati Commercial debuted on October 2, 1843. The original publishers were Greeley Curtis and Hastings. Hastings did not stay long with the paper, and Curtis later brought on his brother-in-law J.W.S. Browne as a partner. Murat Halstead joined the Commercial in 1853, and later obtained some ownership, and a controlling interest by 1867. Partner M.D. Potter bought land to build the Cincinnati Commercial Building at the corner of Fourth and Race in 1859.

Commercial Gazette
One of the predecessors of the Tribune, the Commercial Gazette, was created in 1883 from the merger of the Cincinnati Commercial and Daily Gazette.

The Gazette once claimed a lineage dating from the founding of Centinel of the Northwest Territory in 1793, though in reality that entity is considered to have moved to Chillicothe, Ohio with its owner in 1800. More accurately, Thomas Palmer published the first issue of the Cincinnati Gazette on July 15, 1815, which he merged with the pre-existing Liberty Hall later that year, a paper which had been founded in 1804. A daily paper (the Daily Gazette) first appeared on July 25, 1827.

University of Waterloo School of Accounting and Finance

The School of Accounting and Finance (SAF) at University of Waterloo is a professional school within the Faculty of Arts. The School was established in 1980 under the name 'School of Accountancy'. Its name was changed in 2008 to better reflect its program offering. Today, more than 1,600 students are enrolled in the School's programs. In September 2009, a new 52,000 sqft building was officially opened to house the School.

The School of Accounting and Finance offers the largest accounting and finance undergraduate cooperative education (co-op) program in Canada.

The School's Master of Accounting (MAcc) Program allows students to complete all required Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) modules within eight months, and is only open to students who complete the School's undergrad programs. MAcc graduates only need to challenge (and pass) the Common Final Examination and accumulate the required professional experiences in order to become a CPA. MAcc and industry experiences gained from co-op are well known among Canadian accounting and finance industries.

In June 2021, it was announced that the School and the Faculty of Environment will begin offering a new undergrad program, "Sustainability and Financial Management", and accept its first cohort of students starting Fall 2022. The program was created to prepare a new generation of accounting and finance professionals to lead businesses through an era of environmental sustainability, and to respond to the increasing importance of environmental finance and ESG factors.

Programs of Study
The School of Accounting and Finance offers four undergraduate programs, two graduate programs and one doctoral program. Additionally, the School jointly administers one undergraduate program and one graduate program with the Faculty of Mathematics and one undergraduate program with the Faculty of Science.

The Bachelor of Accounting and Financial Management (BAFM) and Bachelor of Computing and Financial Management (BCFM) degrees are both CFA Institute's University Affiliated Programs, which recognize academic institutions that embed a significant portion of the CFA Program Candidate Body of Knowledge (CBOK) into their curriculum.

Undergraduate Education
Bachelor of Accounting and Financial Management Co-op (BAFM):
 * Graduates of the BAFM program typically aspire to a host of professional accounting and/or finance credentials such as the Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA), Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and Chartered Business Valuator (CBV) designations. All BAFM graduates are eligible to apply to the School's Master of Accounting (MAcc) program. Students in BAFM must complete four co-op work terms, in total of 16 months of experiences, which could be eligible for CPA accreditation purposes (30 months required).

AFM Specializations: The Accounting and Financial Management (AFM) program offers 6 specializations in areas such as public accounting, finance, entrepreneurship, sustainability, Business analytics, and corporate governance. The first two years at AFM is focused on laying the foundations in accounting and finance, with a focus in people skills, learning, and academic success. The initiative includes experiential learning opportunities such as events, workshops, interactive webcasts, and team-based problem-solving situations connected to courses and extra-curricular situations. Students must then select a specialization from the list below in their 3rd and 4th year:
 * 1) Professional Accountant Career Specialization
 * 2) Entrepreneurial Mindset Career Specialization
 * 3) Financial Leadership Career Specialization
 * 4) Financial Markets Career Specialization
 * 5) Business Analytics Career Specialization
 * 6) Sustainability Career Specialization

Students may choose two specializations at most.

Bachelor of Sustainability and Financial Management Co-op (BSFM): SFM Specializations: The Sustainability and Financial Management (SFM) program offers 3 specializations: corporate sustainability, financial markets, and entrepreneurship. The first two years of the SFM program is focused on giving students a foundational understanding of accounting, finance, and sustainability. This includes experiential learning opportunities such as events, workshops, competitions, and team-based problem-solving situations connected to courses and extra-curriculars. Students must then select a specialization from the list below in their 3rd and 4th year:
 * SFM students are able to become finance or accounting experts with purpose by learning to integrate people, profits, and the planet into the bottom line. Graduates of the program typically aspire to get one or more of the following professional designations, Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA), Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) or Chartered Business Valuator (CBV). All BSFM graduates are eligible to apply to the School's Master of Accounting (MAcc) program. All BSFM students must complete four co-op work terms, for a total of 16 months of experience, which could be eligible for CPA accreditation purposes (30 months required).
 * 1) Corporate Sustainability (CPA pathway)
 * 2) Government Policy and Financial Markets (CFA pathway)
 * 3) Indigenous Entrepreneurship

Mathematics/Chartered Professional Accountancy Co-op (Math/CPA):
 * Math/CPA students have less flexibility in their degree as students take math courses along with the accounting and finance courses BAFM students take, leaving very few elective spaces. The work-term sequence is structured similar to the BAFM schedule, with 4 co-op terms. The Math/CA program was renamed to Math/CPA in 2013.

Biotechnology/Chartered Professional Accountancy Co-op (Biotech/CPA):
 * This program is offered jointly with the Faculty of Science. Students in the Biotech/CPA program take science courses along with the accounting and finance courses. Biotech/CPA students have little flexibility in their degree, and in some terms, are required to take extra courses. Biotech/CPA students composed of the smallest population in the School, with only around 10-15 students admitted per academic year. Students in the program may obtain co-op employment deemed by professional bodies to be qualifying practical experience for accreditation purposes, similar to BAFM and Math/CPA, with 4 required co-op terms. Biotech/CPA students are eligible to apply to the School's MAcc program. The Biotech/CA program was renamed to Biotech/CPA in 2013.

Bachelor of Computing and Financial Management (BCFM):
 * This program is offered jointly with the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science in the Faculty of Mathematics. Students take computer science courses along with accounting and finance courses. Stronger emphasis is placed upon computer science and finance, less on accounting. The students receive a unique degree in Canada, "Bachelor of Computing and Financial Management" after graduation. Students in this program typically complete six co-op work terms, with the first commencing between semester two and three. CFM students/graduates are not eligible to apply to the School's MAcc program and are unable to take advantage of the CPA accreditation.

Postgraduate Education
Master of Accounting (MAcc):
 * This 8-month program is accredited by CPA Canada, so students who successfully complete the program, including all CPA requirements, are exempt from all 6 modules of the CPA Professional Education Program and may proceed directly to the Common Final Examination (CFE). Aside from gaining depth in the CPA elective subjects including Taxation, Assurance, Performance Management and Finance, MAcc students can explore other career options such as business valuations, forensic accounting, data analytics, internal audit and international tax. Approximately 65% of undergrads pursue the MAcc degree in 2016.
 * Furthermore, students who have taken and passed ACC606 Business Valuations receive advanced standings in the CBV Institute Programme of Studies. Students will receive exemptions for Level I – Introductory Business Valuation and Level II – Intermediate Business Valuation.

Master of Taxation (MTax):
 * The Master of Taxation program is open to all students from different backgrounds to apply. MTax is offered under a full-time basis (1 year + 1 co-op term) or a part-time basis (2 years). Graduates attain broad-based competencies in tax subject areas that include policy, research, statutory interpretation, estate planning, business structuring, and risk management, with all the classes held in downtown Toronto's Eaton Centre.

Master of Quantitative Finance (MQF):
 * Focuses on the fundamental disciplines of mathematics, statistics, econometrics, computer science and finance. This program is offered jointly with Faculty of Mathematics.

PhD in Accounting:
 * The University of Waterloo's School of Accounting and Finance can provide doctoral training in research that is based on economic theory, empirical economics, behavioural science, and other methodologies.

School Reputation and Achievement
According to QS World University Rankings, School of Accounting and Finance ranks 101-150 globally in 2022 for the subject category of Accounting & Finance. SAF also ranks high in the 2020 Global Accounting Research Survey conducted by Brigham Young University:
 * An overall ranking of 2nd in Canada and 10th globally for accounting research
 * 1st in Canada for accounting information systems research
 * 1st in Canada for managerial accounting research
 * 1st in Canada for tax research
 * 2nd in Canada for financial accounting research
 * 2nd in Canada in Accounting PhD programs
 * 3rd in Canada in audit research

Co-op Success
With co-operative education, over 95% of students secure full-time employment before graduation. The co-op employment rate has been consistently between 95% and 100% with the students working mainly in global, regional, and local accounting firms, chartered banks, asset managers and other financial services firms/intermeriaties, government, and non-financial corporations in accounting/finance related roles.

UFE/CFE Honour Roll and Gold Medalists
The School of Accounting & Finance has had success in its students and faculty research. Notably, many students who have challenged the Common Final Examination achieve honour roll as well as gold medal (Ontario and National).

The National Honour Roll of the Common Final Exam recognizes candidates whose performance in the exam demonstrated academic excellence and exceptional abilities. The candidates listed on the Honour Roll are determined as the top 1% of the first-time writers who wrote all three days. In 2018 and 2019, SAF captured the National Gold Medal (highest CFE score in Canada) consecutively. SAF has obtained 6 national gold medals (best performance in Canada) from the period between 2010 and 2020. The CFE honour roll and successful CFE writers are mostly the Master of Accounting students. From 2018 to 2020, SAF students accounted for 23.5%, 18.5% and 18.9% of the Honour Roll recipients respectively - the best performance in Canada.

1 Honour roll count includes the gold medalists (3 regional + 1 national gold medalist). 2 If winner of the Ontario Gold Medal also wins National Gold Medal, such count is tallied separately. 3 The May 2021 CFE was only offered in the West and Atlantic Canada regions. The exam was not held in Ontario due to COVID-19 pandemic.

CFA Institute Research Challenge
In 2016, School of Accounting & Finance students became the first Canadian team to win the global annual CFA Institute Research Challenge. The CFA Institute Research Challenge comprises over 140 CFA member societies, 3,500 member volunteers, and more than 5,000 students from over 1,000 universities. The CFA Institute Research Challenge requires student teams (1 team per university) to research and analyze a publicly-traded company and then write a research report on their assigned company with a buy, sell, or hold recommendation.

In 2021, School of Accounting & Finance was once again awarded the Americas Regional Champion at the 2021 CFA Institute Research Challenge, where 5,000 students across 950 universities and 82 countries participated virtually.

Student life
Aside from the clubs/societies available within the University of Waterloo, there are various extra-curricular activities available to SAF students only. The Accounting and Finance Student Association (AFSA) is the government body for the SAF undergrad students, divided into many sub-committees. AFSA is run and governed by a fully-elected Executive Team and a partially-elected Board of Directors. SAF also holds a student-run orientation week for first year undergrad students after the regular Waterloo orientation week, Accounting and Finance Orientation Week (AFOW).

Furthermore, ACE Consulting Group is also a SAF student-run consulting organization that provides Kitchener-Waterloo entrepreneurs and small business clients with professional consulting services.

The School of Accounting and Finance Outreach & Ambassador Program (SOAP) is a year-long program for current SAF students to represent the School in recruiting, marketing, and connecting with future prospective students.

Other initiatives in relation to SAF academic learning include:
 * Student Investment Fund
 * Student Venture Fund
 * Non-Profit Organization Consulting (NPOC)
 * Young Tax Professionals
 * David T. Carter Financial Review Team

 * Several verbs are irregularly conjugated in the present.
 * Some verbs can be categorized by the general pattern they follow, while others are completely irregular.
 * Irregular verbs are too numerous to be entirely provided here. Only some common irregular verbs will be shown.

Stem Changing -er Verbs

 * Several French verbs are stem-changing; the endings for conjugation basically remain the same, but slight changes occur with the stem.
 * One may divide the category of stem-changing verbs into two subcategories: verbs whose stems change only in the nous form and verbs whose stems change only in the je, tu, il, and ils forms.

-cer Verbs

 * To conjugate a -cer verb in the nous form, change the c to a ç.
 * Conjugations in the je, tu, il, vous, and ils forms remain unaffected.

-ger Verbs

 * To conjugate a -ger verb in the nous form, add an e between the final g and the ending ons.
 * Conjugations in the je, tu, il, vous, and ils forms remain unaffected.

-ayer, -oyer, and -uyer Verbs

 * To conjugate an -ayer, -oyer, or -uyer verb in the je, tu, il, and ils forms, change the y to i.
 * Conjugations in the nous and vous forms remain unaffected.

-eler Verbs

 * To conjugate an -eler verb in the je, tu, il, and ils forms, change the l to ll.
 * Conjugations in the nous and vous forms remain unaffected.

-eter Verbs

 * To conjugate an -eter verb in the je, tu, il, and ils forms, change the t to tt.
 * Conjugations in the nous and vous forms remain unaffected.

Verbs with e in the second to last syllable

 * To conjugate a verb with an e in the second to last syllable in the je, tu, il, and ils forms, change the e to è.
 * Conjugations in the nous and vous forms remain unaffected.

Verbs with é in the second to last syllable

 * To conjugate a verb with an é in the second to last syllable in the je, tu, il, and ils forms, change the é to è.
 * Conjugations in the nous and vous forms remain unaffected.

Irregular -ir Verb Patterns
Couvrir

 * The verbs couvrir, cueillir, offrir, ouvrir, and souffrir, follow this pattern.
 * The stem is determined by removing the final -ir.
 * Although the verbs are -ir verbs, they are treated like regular -er verbs for the purpose of conjugation. Thus, they utilize the regular endings for -er verbs.

Dormir

 * The verbs dormir, mentir, partir, sentir, servir, and sortir follow this pattern.
 * For conjugating the plural forms (nous, vous, ils), the stem is determined by removing the final -ir.
 * For conjugating the singular forms (je, tu, il), the stem is the same as the plural stem, except that the last letter of the plural stem is removed in addition to the -ir.
 * The verb ending pattern for these verbs is as follows:

Irregular -re Verb Patterns
-aindre, -eindre, and -oindre Verbs

 * Verbs ending with -aindre, -eindre, and -oindre follow this pattern.
 * For conjugating the singular forms (je, tu, il), the stem is determined by removing the final -dre.
 * For conjugating the plural forms (nous, vous, ils), the stem is the same as the singular stem, except that a g is immediately after the final i and before the final n.
 * The verb ending pattern for these verbs is as follows:

Puzzles | Decision puzzles | 12 coins

You are handed 12 metal coins which look alike. However, one of them is fake and weighs either more or less than each of the other 11 coins (which all have identical weight). To measure or compare weights you have only a pan balance that tips down to the side with the greater weight or stays in balance if both pans hold equal weights.

''With how many weightings can you find the fake coin and also determine if its weight is more or less than the weight of the other coins? How do you do it?''

Wikiversity talk:Import

Rules for importing Pages from Wikibooks
Only import pages for books that you plan to turn into lessons. It is totally against the concept of Wikiversity just to duplicate works done in other media. Robert Elliott 22:49, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

imports from wikipedia
There are a significant number of Philosophy articles that I'd like to import from wikipedia, mainly for the introductory sections, it would save a lot of duplicate work. Is there any direct from wikipedia import planned in the near future? RichMac 15:08, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Wikiversity custodians can do imports of Wikiversity-related pages from the meta-wiki and Wikibooks because that is where this project was developed. If you want to include text from a Wikipedia article here at Wikiversity, I suggest making a list of sources on the Wikiversity page and cite Wikipedia as your source for the text you use. --JWSchmidt 15:30, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Will take that route then, thanks for the advice. RichMac 01:35, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Import Template
For pages which have been imported from different Wikimedia sites please also use - it's a template which I've done, yesterday and is designed for articles which was imported - if you want to mention that an article was imported from lets say Wikibooks the coding will be  , I've had a number of problems with sorting out the Usage section - but thanks to Darklama the coding was properly fixed. DarkMage 10:20, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Decision-making
If you don't want to import some of the pages I've listed on the main page, simply indicate this below the pages. It won't hurt my feelings. If I'm suggesting pages that don't fit in Wikibooks' scope and you don't feel they belong here, I need to know so I can delete them at Wikibooks' end with the assumption that the marked pages don't belong at either project. "Work with me here, people." -- Adrignola 13:28, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Sorry for the delay. This is a small project and we don't have as many active participants as we would like.  The page request has been imported.  --mikeu talk 18:19, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Thanks. -- Adrignola 18:35, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Pending imports
I'd appreciate a decision one way or another on these issues. Adrignola 13:33, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia article tagged for import since October 2010
The article "Introduction to mathematics of general relativity" on wikipedia has been tagged for import for some time. Was a request ever made here? I looked through the archives but could not find anything. Please let me know whether the tag on the WP article needs to be removed, or how to otherwise proceed. diff Thanks, Clifsportland 16:42, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Purpose of importing.
Should editors only import materials they intend to use, or should material be imported when possible to help others develop their lessons? I'm still relatively new to Wikiversity, and am unsure exactly how it is used. Thanks for your help. Clifsportland 17:16, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Which is easier for the importer: that the editor copy text over from another wiki, then ask for a history import; or for importer to copy and import the history? Sidelight12 Talk 12:38, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Marree Mosque

Confusion between four mosques
To clarify the identities of the Marree mosques: there were three historical ones, all dating from the 1880s. One was right in or very close to the township, and another was at Herrgott Springs, about three kilometres north of the town. Nothing can be identified at the sites of either of these today. The site at the spring has been obliterated by trampling cattle. The third, probably the one shown in the historic photograph in the article, was a private mosque built by Abdul Kadir, near his camel yards about a kilometre north-east of the township. An earth floor and the stumps of wooden posts show where it stood. The fourth mosque standing right in the middle of the township was built as a tourist attraction in the 1990s. Peter Bell (talk) 03:21, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
 * This is interesting, . Are there any citations which can be used to add this info to the article? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 02:16, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
 * The principal source is a report to the South Australian government, of which I was one of the authors. If you Google "Heritage of the Birdsville and Strzelecki Tracks" you should go to a government website from which you can download it.  Pages 54-58 are on the background of the Afghan cameleers, and pages 263-272 are on the Marree mosque.  The background is mostly from a book by Christine Stevens, Tin Mosques and Ghantowns, 1989, pages 175-179, 229 & 302-303. Peter Bell (talk) 07:54, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi, if you look at the article, you will see that the "report to the SA government" is already cited in the article - I added this to the article in June 2019. I also noticed at the time that there were four mosques and decided to get access to a copy of one of the books listed in the article to find out more about this, i.e. Australia's Muslim Cameleers: Pioneers of the Inland, 1860s-1930s which has a map showing where the first three mosques are located and which is only available from the State Library of South Australia (SLSA).  Access requires a visit to SLSA and I have not been there yet. By the way, I am interested in where the first mosque was located in order to upgrade the coordinates on the article.  Regards Cowdy001 (talk) 12:09, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi Cowdy001, yes, I wasn't complaining about the quality of what you'd written or the sources, just trying to clarify the surprisingly large number of mosques which Marree supported for a while. I haven't seen Australia's Muslim Cameleers and the information I have is vague about the site of the first mosque. Peter Bell (talk) 12:23, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi Peter Bell, Thanks for your reply. I have just re-read pages 263–272 from Heritage of the Birdsville and Strzelecki Tracks and Iwould suggest that the article should be upgraded as follows:
 * The history section be replaced with two new sections - one section would be about the historical background to the practice of Islam in the Far North of SA and the other section would be about the four sites (i.e. divided into four sub-sections)
 * The article should be renamed as "Mosques of Marree" or "Mosques in Marree" in order to be inclusive of all four sites and avoid the argument whether the article should be about the oldest site  or about the most archaeological relevant site etc.
 * Regards Cowdy001 (talk) 10:49, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Cowdy001,I'm perfectly happy with those suggestions. Peter Bell (talk) 13:49, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Sounds good - thanks to both of you, and . It'll be great to have that extra info and clarity on the mosques! Laterthanyouthink (talk) 02:21, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

A few years have passed and it would appear that there have been no updates to the four mosques. Are one of you going to update content? I'm happy to review once semi-finished. Cheers. Rangasyd (talk) 03:30, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Royal Horse Artillery

Untitled
The King's Troop RHA are based at St John's Wood barracks, not Regent's Park barracks as stated in the article. A quick look at the Troop website would have clarified this.

Order of precedence
It is not quite right to say that the King's Troop are 1st in the order of precedence over every other British unit when they parade with their guns. The HAC parading with guns would take precedence. See Honourable Artillery Company in Wikipedia.
 * Precedence is accorded to the RHA, not merely King's Troop. If HAC ever supplanted or shared that precedence (and I can't find proof), then such arrangement must have ceased if the statement here is correct: In 2005 the guns were withdrawn from Gun Troop and the Troop was renamed Liaison Troop (L Tp) with the role of providing liaison officer parties. The majority of L Tp deployed to Iraq over winter 2006/7. The ceremonial Light Guns were retained by the Regiment to fire salutes at the Tower of London. Bjenks (talk) 04:30, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Pics needed
The image of the mounted sentry, while a good idea, is not up to the quality we need for the article. It would be better to have a good parade photo and/or gunnery action shot, e.g., taken at a salute. Surely someone has one. Cheers, Bjenks (talk) 03:39, 18 June 2012 (UTC) Otherwise, I would favour.

Deltic Preservation Society

The Deltic Preservation Society is a railway preservation group based in England. The society is dedicated to the preservation and restoration of the remaining Class 55 "Deltic" diesel locomotives operated by British Rail from the 1960s to the 1980s.

Formation
The Deltic Preservation Society (DPS) was founded in 1977 following the entry into service of the Class 43 High Speed Train. A group of Class 55 enthusiasts made the decision to join together to ensure that a working locomotive was kept running, forming the DPS to raise funds to this end. By 1982, when the Class 55 was withdrawn, the Society numbered over 1,500, with the result that it was able to purchase two locomotives, D9009/55009 (Alycidon) and D9019/55019 (Royal Highland Fusilier), from British Rail. These two units were moved immediately from Doncaster Works and put into service on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. A third locomotive, D9015/55015 (Tulyar) was added to the inventory in 1986 when it was purchased from a private owner. For the first few years, the DPS provided its locomotives to run on a number of private railways. However, following a change of policy by British Rail in 1991, a few years before its privatisation, it became possible for private operators to run trains on the mainline rail network. With this in mind, the DPS sent Alycidon for a major overhaul, completed in 1998, which allowed the locomotive to gain a certification for running on the public railway. Royal Highland Fusilier was given a less extensive overhaul, receiving its certification at the same time. Both locomotives re-entered passenger service in May 1999, operating railtour services for the Society. At the same time, both were also used on many occasions by Venice-Simplon Orient Express to haul the Northern Belle charter train. In 1997, Tulyar was withdrawn from its private railway services and sent for an overhaul along the same lines as Alycidon to restore it to mainline service.

Royal Scots Grey
D9000/55022 Royal Scots Grey is a further preserved Class 55. Along with D9016/55016 Gordon Highlander, she was purchased by the Deltic 9000 Fund on withdrawal from British Rail service, and operated for several years on charters and railtours. In 2004, DNLL went into liquidation, with its locomotives sold. Royal Scots Grey was purchased by DPS member Martin Walker to be operated as a chartered locomotive for railtour operators. In 2009 Walker purchased Gordon Highlander reuniting the two locomotives. The two locomotives ran at the East Lancashire Railway for many years but have now left for other railways. In December 2017, both were sold to Locomotive Services.

Operations
Under the name 'DPS Railtours, the DPS operated railtours pulled by its Class 55 locomotives. It has also provided its locomotives to other railtour operators for their services. In addition, under the name DPS Commercial Services, the DPS operates a depot at Barrow Hill near Chesterfield, where it contracts out to perform maintenance and repairs not only its own locomotives, but also the other preserved Class 55s, D9002/55002 (King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry) (owned by the National Railway Museum) and D9000/55022 (Royal Scots Grey). In addition, the DPS also owns a preserved cab of D9008/55008 (The Green Howards), which has been converted into a simulator for the Trainz East Coast Main Line computer program.

In August 2006, the DPS also obtained the cab of D9021/55021 (Argyll and Sutherland Highlander), which it intends to restore and put on display at its depot; however, the cab has now left the DPS depot and is now part of The South Wales Loco Cab Preservation Group.

Cookbook:Cabbage

The cabbage is an edible leafy vegetable.

Characteristics
Cabbages take the form of densely packed, round heads. The leaves are darker on the outside of the head and get paler all the way to the white core. The three primary varieties are green/white, savoy, and red/purple cabbage, and for the most part they are quite similar. Green and savoy cabbages are both green in color, though the leaves of savoy cabbages are more wrinkled than those of green cabbage. Red cabbage has the same texture as green cabbage, but its leaves are colored magenta instead of green

Selection and storage
When choosing cabbage heads, go for those that feel dense and firm, with as few wilted outer leaves as possible. They should have no rotted or slimy portions or browning. Ideally, the cores shouldn't seem dried out. Cabbages keep well in the fridge, wrapped in plastic. If they begin to discolor or get slimy, they should be discarded.

Use
Like all brassicas, cabbage is a potentially smelly vegetable that needs to be handled with care to avoid creating unpleasant odours and flavors. There are two ideal ways to cook cabbage: either very quickly (e.g. stir frying, blanching) or in a slow-cooked flavoursome dish. Cabbages may also be shredded and served raw as a salad or slaw, and dishes of fermented cabbage feature in various cultures. Because they are large, cabbage leaves are often used to wrap fillings, such as meat and rice.

To prepare cabbage for cooking, discard the outer leaves and tough core—the latter can be done more easily once the cabbage is quartered. From there, it can be cut up as desired for your dish. When cooking red cabbage, it can turn an unappetizing purple/grey color—cooking with an acid, such as vinegar, will keep it a nice red color.
