Deletion of Loco and Coaches sections and subsequent reversion
Before deletion as perceived "original research", I refer editors to WP:OR: "A primary source may be used on Wikipedia only to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge." Anyone with access to a railway can visit and see the nameplate of a locomotive, and does not need further specialised knowledge to infer the name of the locomotive from their reading of the nameplate. Also, probably a better idea not to mass delete relevant but unsourced information without tagging for citation first. Zazzfasd (talk) 03:21, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

XBLite

XBLite is an offshoot of the XBasic programming language. The XBLite compiler translates programs from source form into assembly language. From this point, conventional tools build the final executable program or DLL library. The XBLite compiler will work on all Windows platforms including Win98, NT, 2000, and XP.

XBLite is a "younger brother" of XBasic. XBasic was developed by Max Reason to be used under MS-Windows and LINUX OSs. In 2000, he made the entire language, compiler, and PDE freely available under an Open Source GPL. The XBasic language itself has not been altered so console programs in XBasic will run identically under XBLite. The XBLite compiler is also released under the same OpenSource GPL license.

Enhancements, post XBasic
XBLite has been enhanced for use under Windows. It is now possible to: And, all of the windows common controls and common dialogs are now available to create win32 native graphical user interfaces (GUIs).
 * 1) Create true command line Win32 console programs.
 * 2) Use the windows common controls for creating GUI applications.
 * 3) Easily add resources to your executable program.
 * 4) Use inline assembly language in your program.
 * 5) Modify and extend the XBasic language.

"Hello World!" in XBLite
A common example of the language's syntax is the "Hello World" program:

A console version
IMPORT "xst"	 ' Standard library : required by most programs DECLARE FUNCTION Entry FUNCTION Entry PRINT "Hello World!" a$ = INLINE$ ("Press Enter to quit >") END FUNCTION END PROGRAM

A GUI version
IMPORT "gdi32"            ' import a system library IMPORT "user32"           ' import a system library DECLARE FUNCTION Entry  ' declare function Entry FUNCTION Entry          ' begin function ' display a message box MessageBoxA (0, &"Hello World!", &"Hello World Window", $$MB_OK) END FUNCTION              ' end function END PROGRAM               ' end program

SAASTE Technology/Activities/Electronic Circuits

Electrical System

Grade 9

Electronics
You will need the following component / Parts

Resistors (all ¼ Watt 5% carbon)
 * R1 - 680 Ohm
 * R2 - 4,7 K Ohm
 * R3 - 2,7 M Ohm (for activity 4)

Semiconductor
 * Q1 - BC337 (or equivalent)
 * LED 1- 5mm
 * LED 2 - 5mm infra red detector
 * LED (for activity 4)

A Resistor Colour Code Chart is available on the last page of this document.

Connect / build the circuit shown in the diagram below:

Note: The fly lead is simply a short length (approx. 10cm) of conductive wire (with both ends stripped of insulation)

Activity 1:
Attach the loose end of the fly lead to the negative (-) side of the battery and observe the output.

Now remove the fly lead and attach to the positive (+) side of the output and observe the output.

Activity 2:
Disconnect the fly lead from the battery. Touch the end of the fly lead with your bare fingers.

What do you observe?

Activity 3:
Connect another fly lead as shown in the circuit diagram below:

Insert both fly leads into a beaker containing water and observe the output.

Activity 4:
Use your original circuit and extend it by connecting LED 2 and R3 as shown in the circuit diagram below:

LED 2 - 5mm. infra red detector LED R 3 - 2,7 MΩ

Use any remote control (from a TV, Hi-Fi etc.). Bring it close to LED 2. Press any button on the remote control and observe the output.

Note: An LED is a transducer: it converts energy from one form to another

Component data:
 * R1 - Blue, grey, brown, gold
 * R2 - Yellow, violet, red, gold
 * R3 - Red, violet, green, gold

Note: 5%(gold), 10%(silver) or 20%(no 4th band) resistors may be used

The colours for the 4, 7 KΩ resistor was worked out like this: Each number of the value of the resistor correspond to the three bands on the one end of the resistor.

4 in the first band = yellow 7 in the second band = violet K in the third band would be orange. Because there is a decimal place (comma) between the 4 & 7, we move one decimal place and now have 2 zeros which correspond to red.

Try working out the colours for the following resistors: 47 KΩ, 50Ω, 330Ω, 100Ω , 560Ω , 390Ω.

Semiconductors:

Transistor Q1:                            BC 337:

B-Base; C-Collector; E-Emitter

Glossary
Resistor: An electronic component which slows or reduces the current and/or creates a voltage drop

L.E.D. (Light Emitting Diode): A special diode which emits light when a current flows through it.

Transistor: An electronic component which may be used as a switch or as an amplifier. They are broadly divided into PNP and NPN (the BC 337 used above is an NPN transistor)

Infra-red: A narrow band of the light spectrum invisible to the naked eye.

Anode: Positive

Cathode: Negative

Talk:Embedded Systems/Atmel AVR

Keep up the good work guys!

Possible Merge?
Several other similar pages, such as 8051, The 8051 Microcontroller, and PIC were all merged into the Embedded Systems book. Of course, all those other pages were very small stubs, or half-books, and were easy to say goodbye to. This book is a little more substantial, but suffers from the fact that it is only a single monolithic page, and isn't broken up into any kind of book format. I would like to suggest we merge this book into the Embedded Systems book as well, although I would like to hear from some contributers here before I put up the mergeto template, and get the ball rolling. If people here would like to merge this book, I would personally take care of most of the work, and I would divide this information up into a more managable page hierarchy. --Whiteknight T C E 23:53, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

External Memory Interface?
Could it be a good idea to add a topic on how to use the AVR's external memory interface (hardware and software wise)? If I knew how it worked I would be eager to help, but I can't find any information on what kind of SRAM and latch chip to use.

 * I've taken notice of this article, and will be adding material, replacing ASCII art with images, and attempting to (justifiably) get rid of the rewrite tag at the top of the article. Pfagerburg 15:34, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Rather than draw my own picture, I'll refer to you the "External Memory Interface" section of the datasheets for devices that can use external SRAM, e.g. the Mega162. The requirements for the latch are clearly described (a '573 or equivalent) as well as the connections of the various signals from the AVR to the SRAM. Pfagerburg (talk) 20:51, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Working on the article
Here are my plans to improve the article so that the "needs improvement" tag can be legitimately removed.
 * Remove (!!!) where it shows up, after considering the text and possibly changing it
 * Rewrite description of interrupts.
 * Minor editing to GPIO section Not so minor after all.
 * Replace ASCII art with a proper drawing in RS-232 section
 * Add explanation of "true" SPI and hardware-assisted like the USI (Universial Serial Interface) found on some of the AVR's, e.g. Tiny26.
 * Protocol issues section might need to be removed entirely.
 * JTAG section needs some parenthetical comments removed.
 * JTAGICE mkII section contains links to several development boards; these need to go into a separate section.
 * JTAGICE references in section 10 (AVR selection) may need to move up to section 8 (debugging interfaces).
 * "AVR Selection" section needs some reorganization.
 * "Firmware Programming" section needs an introduction, possibly some reorganization. Might also want to look for dead links.
 * "Programmer Tools" is a link farm and FAQ, needs cleanup. Some of it (AVRDude) might move up to the in-system programming section.
 * Make "References" its own section.
 * Add a quick overview before section 1 ("Memory"), probably just borrow heavily from the Wikipedia article.
 * Add circuit diagram for using external memory, per request on the talk page.
 * Add drawing/SPI block diagram to SPI section. Datasheets have much better diagrams; point there.
 * "References" is a link farm, needs a lot of cleanup. Some should move up to other sections where particular tools are mentioned.
 * The Timer/Counter section needs clean-up
 * There are several variants of timers on the AVR, 8-bit, 16-bit, PWM, high-speed, and these are not adequately explained. Could use more explanations, but at least there's something there now.
 * Timer1 is not always a 16-bit timer.
 * There was an image that was removed for being unlicensed, needs to be replaced, but what was the image so I know what to replace it with? The image didn't add much, and is in all the datasheets anyway
 * Fix the in the JTAG section one way or the other.
 * Final scan for ?!?, TBD/TODO, etc.'s, ...'s and other signs of needed clean-up.
 * Remove clean-up tag.

I'll be working through the article from start to finish. I'm sure there's more than just this list. I appreciate the efforts of the folks who created this section, and hope that my edits will add to the quality and make it even more useful to other readers. Pfagerburg 17:22, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

 * It's done. Sort of.  The article can always use improvement (and I will continue working on it), but I feel that I have it to a place where it doesn't need the clean-up tag any longer. Pfagerburg (talk) 23:28, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

AVR Butterfly Demo Board
I re-worded the Butterfly Demo Board section, specifically mentioning the company that designed the board. I removed the link to smileymicros.com, since they sell the board, but did not design it. I realize that this promotes Ecros over Smiley (since both sell the board), but I think this is unavoidable. If, for every protoboard and development tool listed, we have to have a link to every vendor that sells it, things get messy very fast.

For example, Olimex makes a lot of great protoboards and tools for the AVR, and they are specifically mentioned in the article as making a JTAG clone. Since SparkFun Electronics stocks many Olimex products, should we put in a link to SparkFun's website? BTW, SparkFun is in Boulder, CO, about 2 miles from where I used to work, and I've bought several things from them. They're great folks, and if not for some serious self-control, I could spend a fortune on all the nifty stuff they carry. Should they have a link in this article every time a product that someone else designed happens to be stocked at SparkFun? I say no.

So, nothing against SmileyMicros, but the wiki is not a place to advertise that you sell someone else's product. Pfagerburg (talk) 19:42, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

 * OK, I admit it: I'm a living organ donor. I donated my brain, since I seem to have so little use for it.

 * It turns out I was the one that put that link to Smiley Micros in the first place, and now I remember why. I was looking for a particular part, found it at Smiley, and in the process, noted that they stocked the Butterfly carrier board, and so added the information to the wiki.  A little more careful research at the time would have led me to the designer of the board (Ecros).  Someone (an IP addr) added the link to Ecros, and the diff brought that to my attention.

 * I apologize for any confusion or offense I may have caused. Pfagerburg (talk) 19:54, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

serial communication
I agree that this Embedded Systems book needs to talk about all kinds of serial protocols -- RS-232, RS-485, SPI, etc. However, lots of different CPUs use these protocols. Is there some more appropriate chapter of the Embedded Systems book to discuss serial communication in general? That way we can avoid explaining these things over and over again, in the chapter for each specific CPU. Or should we move most of that information to another book entirely, one on the serial communications bookshelf ? --DavidCary (talk) 18:09, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

I removed the circuit diagram for using a few resistors to talk to an RS-232 port. As I had noted in the text when I first replaced the ASCII art with a proper picture, it is a poor choice for anything but a "one-off" system. One thing I failed to note is that you can't use the hardware UART with this circuit; the polarity is reversed compared to what the RS-232 port expects to see. Aside from that, it's not specific to the AVR, so if this particular circuit belongs in Wikibooks at all, a more appropriate place would be the general article on serial communication. Pfagerburg (talk) 19:14, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Submitting your AVR project to this page
A few edits in the past month have been obvious self-promotion. I'm not completely sure what to do about that in cases where there aren't many resources in the category already, or the project is in some way notable. e.g. if someone from Kanda edited this page to mention some new debugger that they were making, I don't think I would have an issue with that. However, I also don't want to see this page cluttered with 20 different BASIC compilers or interpreters, etc. For right now, I'm just going to clean up the ad copy that a few people have posted, and later I will come back and see if I can tone some of this down.

You do realize that AVRFreaks has a complete list of every tool? So you can get your stuff listed there, for free as far as I know? It's pure supposition on my part, but I believe that when people are looking for AVR tools, they are going to look at AVRFreaks before they look at wikibooks. But that's just my guess.

Niall Harrington

Niall Charles Harrington (23 January 1901 – 18 September 1981), born in Dublin, was an Irish soldier, officer, military intelligence director, writer and broadcaster, campaigner for the memory of Charles Stuart Parnell and a union representative. His military career spanned the period from the War of Independence through to his retirement as a senior intelligence officer in 1959. During this time he wrote and narrated various historical features for different media. His Civil War memoirs were developed into a book, Kerry Landing, which was extended and published posthumously.

Early life
He was born at 6 Cavendish Row, Dublin, home of his grandfather Dr. Edward O'Neill. His parents were Elizabeth O'Neill, daughter of Dr.O'Neill, and Timothy Charles Harrington, a Nationalist MP, barrister-at-law and Lord Mayor of Dublin from 1901 to 1903. When he was 9 his father died so he moved to Nelson Street [now Ashe Street], Tralee, County Kerry to live with his uncle Dan, Timothy Harrington's brother. Dan Harrington was the printer and publisher of The Kerry Sentinel, a weekly paper which had been founded by Timothy Harrington in 1877. He attended the Christian Brothers' school in Edward Street, Tralee, and later Rockwell College in County Tipperary.

Military career
After being apprenticed in 1918 to James Barry's pharmacy in Boyle, County Roscommon, Harrington joined the IRA and the IRB. He became First lieutenant in A Company, 1st (Boyle) Battalion, North Roscommon Brigade IRA. A beating and threats from Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) members encouraged his departure from the area. He was ordered to Dublin to deliver a dispatch and remained there on advice after a secret meeting with Cathal Brugha and Austin Stack, and later a note from Michael Collins. He lived at different addresses and did different jobs before transferring to C Company, 2nd Battalion Dublin Brigade IRA. After the Anglo-Irish Treaty he became a private in the Medical Corps of the Irish Army in March 1922, reprising his pharmacy practice. He was on duty in Dublin when the Provisional Government launched an assault against anti-Treaty IRA 'Irregulars' who had captured the Four Courts. Allowed a posting aboard the Lady Wicklow, he transferred to the Dublin Guard en route. The ship landed at Fenit, County Kerry, on 2 August 1922 as part of an attempt to overcome the anti-Treaty forces controlling the county. His intimate knowledge of the area was utilised in the planning and execution of the landing and the capture of Fenit and Tralee. He received a field-promotion to 2nd Lieutenant for bravery. In 1923 he became captain and gained experience through the ranks in different roles and counties. He graduated from the Military College's Infantry School in 1931, and the Command and Staff School in 1939 becoming commandant, in roles attached to military archives and intelligence. His final military post was as Deputy Director of Intelligence at General Headquarters from 1952 to 1959, in the rank of lieutenant colonel.

Union representative
Upon retiring from his military role, Harrington was appointed National Organiser of the Federated Union of Employers [now part of Ibec], remaining until 1973.

Parnell Commemoration Association
Harrington was secretary, then president of the Parnell Commemoration Association, which existed in honour of Charles Stewart Parnell, the late 19th Century Irish nationalist, land reform agitator and leader of the Home Rule League. Harrington's father, Timothy Harrington, was a close confidant and supporter of Parnell. Harrington senior's Kerry Sentinel newspaper firmly supported the Irish National Land League. Parnell offered him the secretaryship of the Irish National Land League and following that the Irish National League.

Niall Harrington was the principal supporter of the memorial to Parnell now set in Glasnevin Cemetery, Dublin, and of granting public access to Avondale House in County Wicklow – Parnell's birthplace and home – as an Irish heritage centre.

Writing and broadcasting
Harrington wrote and presented a number of different items on 2RN (later Radio Éireann) from the 1930s onwards, and his play, Resurgence – A Cavalcade of the Easter Insurrection, was broadcast in 1937. He also did pieces promoting the army. Amongst his many works for print, he sometimes wrote under the pseudonyms of Niall O'Neill and Brian Mulhern.

His memoirs, entitled A fine day to die in Ireland, meant originally for the military archives, were expanded into the book Kerry Landing under the auspices of his friend, Dan Nolan, of Anvil Books. Nolan appealed for additional information from readers of the Kerryman. The book was eventually published in 1992, after Harrington's death in 1981 and Nolan's in 1989.

In the book, Harrington referred to murders on both sides in the Civil War, including the notorious incidents at Ballyseedy Cross, Countess Bridge, and Bahags, all in County Kerry, where captured Republicans were brutally killed using landmines, bombs and bullets by Free State soldiers of the Dublin Guard. The soldiers were later officially cleared of any wrongdoing. Harrington, who was in the county having recently joined the Dublin Guard, said,

"The facts are that the mines used in the slaughter of the prisoners were constructed in Tralee under the supervision of two senior Dublin Guards officers.

"An alleged military court of inquiry into the occurrences was held in Tralee on 7 April 1923; the submissions made to the court and the findings brought in are, to my personal knowledge, totally untrue."

This conclusion was supported by other accounts, some only released in the 21st century.

Legacy
The collection of Niall Harrington's papers relating to his career, and remaining papers of his father Timothy, were placed with the National Library of Ireland in 2001 and 2002 by his daughter, Nuala Jordan.

Louisa Buck

Louisa Buck is a British art critic and contemporary art correspondent for The Art Newspaper. She is also an author or co-author of books on contemporary art market.

Early life and family background
Louisa Buck is the only daughter of the late Sir Antony Buck MP QC (1926–2003) by his first wife, Judy Grant, from whom he was divorced after 34 years. His marriage to his second wife, Spanish fashion designer, Bienvenida Pérez Blanco, who was 30 years younger than him, ended in scandal, when she admitted adultery with Sir Peter Harding, the British Chief of the Defence Staff, and sold her story to the News of the World for £150,000. Prior to this, Sir Antony had seemed "the epitome of middle-ranking orthodox Tory establishment achievement": he was Conservative Party MP for Colchester for 30 years, and under Edward Heath, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence (Royal Navy) (1972–74). Louisa Buck said at her father's remembrance service that he had a "lifelong loathing of pomposity, wicked irreverence and dogged loyalty, even when it was against his own interests".

Political activity
In August 2014, Buck was one of 200 public figures who were signatories to a letter to The Guardian opposing Scottish independence in the run-up to September's referendum on that issue.

Career
She writes on contemporary art for a number of different journals, as well as making television appearances. Her first book, Moving Targets 2, gives profiles of the artists, curators, collectors, critics and galleries who contribute to the "best and most challenging art that is being made in Britain". Profiles of artists include Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, Chris Ofili and Cornelia Parker; critics include Adrian Searle, curators, Sir Nicholas Serota and dealers, Jay Jopling of the White Cube gallery.

In 2000, she criticised the Stuckists artists, "I saw the last Stuckists exhibition and some of the work was just plain cack ... There may be a lot of boring conceptual work but to have a grumpy reactionary movement against it is just daft."

In 2004, she compiled a report for the Arts Council, Market Matters: The dynamics of the contemporary art market. She quoted Thomas Hoving, former Director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, "Art is sexy! Art is money-sexy! Art is money-sexy-social-climbing-fantastic!", a description she elsewhere says has "never ... seemed more apt"

In 2005, she was a member of the Turner Prize jury, which awarded the prize to Simon Starling, whose main exhibit Shedboatshed was a wooden shed he had converted into a boat, sailed down the River Rhine and then turned back into the original shed.

Personal life
For two years during the 1980s she had a relationship with George Melly and in his will was left his collection of surrealist books and magazines.

Naseem Hamed vs. Wayne McCullough

Naseem Hamed vs. Wayne McCullough, billed as "Halloween Fright Night" was a professional boxing match contested on October 31, 1998 for the WBO and Lineal featherweight championships.

Background
In April 1998, WBO featherweight champion Naseem Hamed had defeated 3-division world champion Wilfredo Vázquez to both retain his WBO belt and become the new lineal champion of the featherweight champion. For his next fight, Hamed would return to the United States for the second time in his career, having made his American debut the previous year in December against Kevin Kelley. Then-WBO super bantamweight champion Kennedy McKinney, with whom Hamed had originally agreed to face earlier in the year before instead taking the Vasquez fight, had emerged as a possible opponent for Hamed again, but was bypassed again in favor of Irish fighter Wayne McCullough. McCullough had captured a silver medal in the 1992 Olympics and had become the WBC bantamweight champion in 1995. He would then move up to the super bantamweight division to take on champion Daniel Zaragoza in a losing effort before once again moving up to the featherweight division to challenge Hamed. For Hamed, it was his third consecutive opponent to have been a world champion.

Prior to the bout, Hamed began having problems with his lifelong trainer Brendan Ingle stemming from unflattering comments Ingle had made about Hamed in Ingle's book "The Paddy and the Prince." Hamed lashed out at Ingle in an interview prior to the fight, labeling Ingle a "Judas" and claiming that he had "brainwashed" him. Despite the pre-fight tension, Ingle remained involved in Hamed's preparation for McCullough, though Ingle's two sons, John and Dominic handled the training and Ingle instead took a "supervisor" role for the fight.

The Fight
As the fight took place on Halloween night, Hamed made his entrance by walking through a set made to look like a graveyard (complete with smoke, sound effects, organ music, skeletons and confetti) while dancing to Michael Jackson's 1983 hit "Thriller."

Despite the fact that McCullough had neither been knocked down nor been defeated by a referee stoppage, Hamed, much like in his previous fight against Vasquez, predicted that he would do a "demolition job" on McCullough and obtain a knockout victory between the third and fifth rounds. However, Hamed came nowhere near scoring a knockdown over McCullough, and after failing to do hurt the iron-chinned McCullough in the early rounds, simply used his boxing skills to outpoint McCullough. Ultimately Hamed and McCullough went the full 12 rounds, with neither fighter scoring a knockdown. It was only the second time in Hamed's career that he went the full 12 rounds after having not done so since his twelfth professional fight in 1994 (his only other decision victory had come in a 6-round bout in 1992). The three judges all scored the fight in favor of Hamed with scores of 116–112, 117–111 and 118–110 giving Hamed the victory by unanimous decision, ending his 18–fight knockout streak.

There are large sections of this article that have no sources, or are only sourced to Brown's personal website (which is not reliable enough to be used for Wikipedia for most of the content). Please see WP:SELFSOURCE to see when a personal source can be used as a citation on Wikipedia.

I think this is largely because the article has come under a lot of conflict of interest (COI) editing, which has really hurt how it's written. Hopefully some of the editors see this and can discuss how to best write the article so it doesn't sound as promotional, or at least so it contains more verified info.

Honours (Prevention of Abuses) Act 1925

The Honours (Prevention of Abuses) Act 1925 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, that makes the sale of peerages or any other honours illegal. The act was passed by the Parliament in the wake of David Lloyd George's 1922 cash-for-honours scandal. In 2006 a number of people connected to the Labour Party government of Tony Blair were interviewed voluntarily at Downing Street in connection with alleged offences under the 1925 Act.

Lloyd George honours scandal
The act was brought in after the Liberal Party government of David Lloyd George was severely embarrassed peddling honours for party funds. The practice was legal and dated back several decades partly for new money to discreetly acquire titles; Lloyd George made the practice more systematic and more brazen, charging £10,000 for a knighthood, £30,000 for baronetcy, and £50,000 upwards for a peerage. The practice came to a halt with the notorious 1922 Birthday Honours List, which contained the names of Sir Joseph Robinson, a South African gold and diamond magnate who had been convicted of fraud and fined half a million pounds a few months earlier; Sir William Vestey, a multi-millionaire meat importer notorious for his tax evasion; Samuel Waring, who had been accused of war profiteering; and Archibald Williamson, whose oil firm had allegedly traded with the enemy during the war.

Prime Minister Lloyd George in mid-1922 was fast losing his political support, and his sales were denounced in the House of Lords as an abuse of the Prime Minister's powers of patronage.

Only one person has ever been convicted under the Act – Maundy Gregory, Lloyd George's "honours broker", in 1933 – whose same behaviour in 1918 was the main cause of the Act in the first place. Gregory's 1933 conviction was secured over his attempts to broker the selling of Vatican knighthoods in the UK. To this date, the Act has never been successfully used to convict anyone involved in the sale of UK honours.

2006: Cash for honours
In March 2006, following complaints by Scottish National Party MP Angus MacNeil, the Metropolitan Police started investigating possible breaches of the Act. A total of £5 million in loans was given by four wealthy businessmen to the Labour Party during the 2005 general election campaign, the men were subsequently nominated by Tony Blair for peerages. All four of the peerages were blocked by the House of Lords appointments commission. The police inquiries led to 136 people being interviewed, including Tony Blair, the first prime minister to be questioned by police as part of a political corruption inquiry, albeit "as a witness rather than a suspect". In 2007, after a £1.4 million, 19-month investigation, the police handed a 216-page report with 6,300 supporting documents to the Crown Prosecution Service which later announced it had insufficient evidence to bring charges against anyone.

2021: Cash for favours scandal
In September 2021, Michael Fawcett, Prince Charles's closest aide, "stepped down temporarily" as chief executive of The Prince's Foundation, after an investigation by The Sunday Times and the Mail on Sunday reported that he "offered to help to secure a knighthood and British citizenship" for Mahfouz Marei Mubarak bin Mahfouz, a Saudi businessman who donated £1.5m to Prince Charles's charities. William Bortrick, the editor and owner of Burke's Peerage, was named by the Sunday Times as the alleged fixer at the heart of the claims. Bortrick is said to have received thousands of pounds to secure the honour. According to the Metropolitan Police, at least two complaints were made calling for an investigation into whether Prince Charles or Michael Fawcett breached the 1925 Act. In February 2022 the Metropolitan Police launched an investigation into the cash-for-honours allegations linked to Charles' charity The Prince's Foundation. On 6 September 2022, officers interviewed under caution, a man in his fifties and a man in his forties. On 31 October 2022, the Metropolitan Police passed their evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service for deliberation.

In both the Mercury and Venus articles, the lack of a moon is explained in the same way. I think it would make sense for Mercury to have the explanation, and Venus to refer to Mercury's explanation. The section about Venus' moon would still have content, due to the story of its fabled moon.

"Venus'" or "Venus's" as possessive
This goes back to my Senior year of high school (and English 101) where I wouldn't have swore that when you make a possessive out of a word that ends in the letter "s", you simply put the apostrophe on the end. Apparently I'm in an edit war over this with Laurascudder, so now I'm appealing to the community in general to decide this issue. This is like the name of the magazine Boys' Life (note the apostrophe on the end.) I guess to clarify things we could also simply use the term Venusian (as opposed to Venerial which is the correct term but usually not used in scientific circles to talk about things pertaining to Venus and only used in medical journals instead). --Rob Horning 02:43, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Technically the apostrophe only rule is only applicable when the s on the end is due to a plural. An example is that you write Texas's rather than Texas' because Texas is singular but boys' instead of boys's because boys is plural (See for instance University of Minnesota style guide).  This is however a frequently confused rule.  --Laura Scudder | Talk 18:55, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

I've seen (and myself use) constructions such as Texas' meaning "of Texas" along the lines of "two days' time" meaning "the time of two days". Would we write (or try to say) "two days's time"..? I'm not convinced the rule given in the University of Minnesota's style guide is generally considered to be a rule – but then I suppose there's no final arbiter to whom to appeal. So I'll just say that "Texas's" (and "Venus's", etc) looks odd to me! Best wishes, David Kernow 15:12, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

 * K, if that's what you guys want, I'm not going to fight it. Let me just point out that there's ~400k instances of Texas's on the internet according to google.  — Laura Scudder | Talk 16:02, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

I don't know what the conclusion to this was, but I'm editing it as "Venus's" because this is what it is correct grammatically, rather than taking artistic license to make it anything else. In any case, the possessive form is definitely not "Venuses", which I had to edit it from. MiltonT 19:53, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Beaten coffee

We originally chose this article because we saw it was a stub which could be greatly improved, and we were intrigued by the origins of beaten coffee and its similarity to Dalgona coffee. However, we were unable to find any robust sources that fit under the Wikipedia guidelines. Initially, we had planned to add a culture section, an ingredients section, and some images. However, because the only concrete information we could find traced the origin back to Korean culture, we felt that any culture information we could add would be better suited to the Dalgona coffee article. We considered merging the Beaten Coffee article with the Dalgona Coffee article, but discovered there was already a merger proposition and that merging would present an issue of ignoring beaten coffee in Indian culture in favor of the more popular Dalgona coffee in Korean culture. Any other information gathered about the origin is unreliable, although it is widely agreed that "Beaten Coffee" is an Indian style Cappuccino. An ingredients section would mostly just include references to other Wikipedia articles like that of instant coffee and sugar, so there isn't much in that either although we have considered adding that before we move on. We elected not to search for images because we plan to scrap this article due to the lack of robust sources. Our new article is relatively short with a large reference section, so we are confident we will be able to find sources we can use. We feel we can do no more with this article and are officially changing our topic to Earl Grey Tea. Dustin was responsible for searching for sources, Katherine was responsible for researching the origins and history of beaten coffee,

We have not had much time to research or edit the Earl Grey Tea article extensively, but from what we have been able to research we have already found information that can be added to the Wikipedia article utilizing the existing sources in the reference section. We plan to update the images with more appealing and accurate pictures, add to the history and flavourings sections to make them more robust, perhaps add a culture section, and researching the toxicology section and evaluating whether the information belongs in the article.

= Neurodiagnostic technologist = A Neurodiagnostic Technologist (formerly called Electroencephalographic (EEG) Technician , , or Electroneurodiagnostic Technologist , ) is an Allied Healthcare professional who performs diagnostic studies to record electrical activity arising from the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves using a variety of techniques and instrumentation. Procedures performed by neurodiagnostic technologists include Electroencephalography (EEG), Evoked Potentials (EP), Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS), Polysomnography/Sleep Technology (PSG), Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (IONM), Long Term Monitoring (LTM) for Epilepsy or Intensive Care Unit/Continuous EEG monitoring (ICU/cEEG, Magnetoencephalography (MEG), and autonomic function testing. ,

Neurodiagnostic technologists work in all areas of the hospital, in private and independent diagnostic clinics, and in patients’ homes. Some testing is routine and provided only in outpatient settings, other testing is considered critical and is performed in the emergency department or intensive care unit (ICU), and specialized modalities of neurodiagnostic testing are used to monitor nervous system function in the operating room during surgical cases. Neurodiagnostic technologists prepare patients for procedures, obtain medical histories, record electrical potentials, calculate results, maintain equipment, and may work with specific treatments. They develop rapport with patients and comfort them during the recording procedure, which can last from 20 minutes for a routine EEG test to 8 hours for a sleep study, to multiple days’ admission for LTM/ICU/cEEG. ,

Neurodiagnostic technologists understand neurophysiology, recognize normal and abnormal electrical activity, and know how to properly assess the patient and document technical findings during the EEG procedure. It has been shown that the EEG technologist plays a significant role in the diagnosis of epilepsies, functioning as eyes and ears for the interpreting physician, who later reviews and interprets the data ,. EEG technologist must properly describe patient movements and behaviors, assess the patient who experiences an event during the procedure, enhance or filter EEG patterns of interest, and troubleshoot to eliminate undesirable artifact. , Considerable individual initiative, reasoning skill, and sound judgment are expected of the neurodiagnostic professional. , ,

Neurodiagnostic technology in the United States
In the United States, ASET – The Neurodiagnostic Society (ASET), acknowledges the scope of practice for neurodiagnostic technology personnel. The commitment of ASET is to ensure that efficient, safe, competent, and ethical practices are provided and to maintain professional standards of practice. ASET acknowledges that neurodiagnostic technologists are a part of the patient care team as listed the clinical practice guidelines of the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society (ACNS). ,

Statistics regarding the profession
Employment opportunities include hospitals, specialized sleep and epilepsy labs, private practice, independent clinics, educational institutions, research facilities, and equipment design, sales, and manufacturing companies.

Career Outlook : Employment opportunities are abundant. The Bureau of Labor and Statistics predicts 33,800 future job openings in neurodiagnostic technology (2014-2024) and is a “Bright Outlook” profession according to the O*Net Database due to the “much faster than average” projected growth (14% or higher) of the profession. Particularly strong growth areas are PSG and the specialty areas of LTM/cEEG and IONM. There is a continuous need for well-educated neurodiagnostic technologists, and the demand grows as new labs open and existing labs expand.

Salary: Dependent on education, experience, level of responsibility, type of employment, and region of the country. Consequently, salaries range from $31,100 for a Neurodiagnostic Technology Program graduate just entering the field to over $70,000 per year for lab managers and independent contractors. The mean (average) salary for all neurodiagnostic technologists across the country is $41,070, based on 2016 wage data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Technologists who hold professional credentials, college degrees, and who own their own business command the highest salaries.

Education and training
Technologists may enter the field through many employment pathways such as formal schooling, on-the-job training, or a combination of both. Technologists are often cross-trained in more than one modality of neurodiagnostic technology. Persons interested in pursuing a career in neurodiagnostics are strongly encouraged to attend a school specializing in the field. , , , Accredited postsecondary education programs can be found on the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) website at https://www.caahep.org/. Currently, most of the schools are associated with two-year colleges with a few located within hospitals or vocational schools. Some schools offer distance-learning programs online.

Many professional societies provide education, training, standardized guidelines, best practices, and networking in each modality of neurodiagnostic technology (see Organizations).

Credentialing
There are several existing certificates and registrations for the neurodiagnostic technology professionals, which are strongly encouraged as a demonstration of professional competency. , Credentialing organizations for neurodiagnostic technologies include:

ABRET Neurodiagnostic Credentialing & Accreditation is a nonprofit, 501 (c) 6 credentialing board for electroencephalography (R. EEG T.), evoked potentials (R. EP T.), neurophysiological intraoperative monitoring (CNIM), long-term monitoring (CLTM), magnetoencephalography (CMEG) and autonomic testing (CAP) professionals.

DSB International School

DSB International School, also known as Deutsche Schule Bombay, is an international school located in the city of Mumbai, India. It provides the National Curriculum of England and the German Curriculum of Thuringia and was established in 1961.

Curriculum
DSB International School follows the English National Curriculum for students aged 3–18 years. The Cambridge IGCSE is offered to students between the ages of 14 and 16 and the IB Diploma Programme caters to pre-university students between the age of 16 and 19. The school is partly German and offers German and French as a first language.

The German section follows the curriculum for German Schools Abroad (Thüringen) up to the age of 14 years. After this point, students join the International Section to take IGCSE and IBDP, both of which are fully recognized in Germany.

Campuses
DSB International School has two campuses. In 1967, the school moved into Garden Campus in Breach Candy, which is the current Lower Primary Campus (Kindergarten through Year 4/Grade/Klasse 5). In 2014, the Secondary School moved into the Aurum House in Babulnath (from Year 5/Grade/Klasse 6).

History
Due to growing diplomatic relations between India and Germany, and partly due to the influx of German companies in India, many German citizens were attracted to India, especially to the city of Mumbai. With the focus of educating German expatriates in India with a German method of teaching, the Deutsche Schulverien was built. Despite being built to cater exclusively to the German diaspora, children from countries such as Chile and Japan were admitted.

In 1967, the school moved to the Garden Campus. At the beginning of the 2000s, fewer Germans were coming to India, and the school started an international section with the British, Cambridge IGCSE and IB Curricula. In 2014, the new Aurum House, or AU, was built for the secondary grades.

Student life
The school offers after-school activities including creative, cultural, sporting, adventure and service activities. Students have the opportunity to become active in Model United Nations and the Duke of Edinburgh Award. Students participate at external MUN conferences at a national and international level. Several Mumbai-based international schools hold MUN conferences which DSB participates in. Further, DSB sends delegates to COBIS MUN and the Harvard Model Congress Europe (HMCE).

Many of the students are expatriates from over 20 countries while others are of Indian ancestry.

School:Marine sciences

Welcome to the School of Marine Sciences here at Wikiversity! This school is part of Wikiversity's Interdisciplinary Studies portal, a categorization that reflects the broad range of topics studied within the school. This School is for those who are interested in any and every aspect of the ocean. Marine scientists may study the physics of fluid dynamics, the ecology of marine organisms, naval engineering or a variety of other subjects. The School of Marine Sciences encompasses both pure and applied science, and includes the departments of Marine Biology, Marine Chemistry, Marine Physics and Ocean Engineering and Naval Architecture.

Philosophy
The ocean is a rich, interconnected tapestry. As a result, we believe that a deep understanding of any subfield comes from a broad knowledge base. For example, a naval engineer might need to learn marine biology, in order to recognize the environmental impact of ships on the ocean's flora and fauna. We are committed to studying all aspects of the sea and the interrelationships between them, and we reject a reductionist approach.

Stewart Title of Austin, LLC

Originally founded as Gracy Title Company in Austin, Texas in 1873, it was the first and oldest land title insurance company in Texas.

History
Our company’s original land title plant and document history dates back to the sovereignty of Texas as a territory when the King of Spain granted land to the original settlers of Texas prior to its period as a Republic from 1836-1845. During the Reconstruction Era of the United States following the Civil War, the abstract and land title industry was in disarray regarding valid ownership of land and real estate claims, which gave rise to need for land & real estate contract negotiations, procedures and transactions to be insured. The general title insurance concept had previously been conceived but was not a fully legal industry within land transactions. A Pennsylvania dispute that arose in 1868, which eventually settled in 1873, led to the legal incorporation of U.S. title insurance companies, in The General Corporation Act passed in 1874. The first company in Texas which arose out of the merging concepts of abstract, title and insurance, Gracy was founded from an existing abstract of title company, as James V. Bergen and Company in 1873 by surveyor James Valentine Bergen and George B. Zimpelman, a former Travis County Texas sheriff, land developer and owner of LBJ Ranch. As Zimpelman's business influence in Texas development, increased he was given partnership, and the firm was renamed Zimpelman & Bergen. David Bergen Gracy, James Bergen’s cousin, joined the firm in 1881. When Zimpelman retired, the name changed to Bergen Daniel & Gracy Abstract Company (headed by James Bergen, David Bergen Gracy, and Charles Daniel at 103 E. 6th Street). The Austin Board of Trade referred to the firm as "the only institution here that furnishes reliable abstract of title in the county." The office later moved to 819 Congress Ave. David Gracy served as Austin’s city treasurer, city commissioner, and assisted in the organization of several prominent deposit & loan and mortgage companies in Austin. The company became Gracy Title Guaranty Company in 1920 and was owned and operated by the Gracy family until 1947.

Title & Escrow Services
When operating as Gracy Title, a subsidiary of parent company Stewart Law and Land Title Company since 2008, the company was collectively recognized by Forbes as the nation's 4th most admirable and trustworthy companies. In July 2017 Gracy Title, a Stewart Company was officially renamed to Stewart Title of Austin. The company issues title insurance policies and provides title services from 12 locations throughout Central Texas. Outside of the Austin market, prior to the Stewart merger with Gracy, Stewart's history dates back to 1893 originating in Galveston, Texas.

Stewart Title of Austin issues title insurance policies on three of the largest underwriters in the US: First American Title, Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company and Stewart Title Guaranty Company. The company provides title and escrow services, post-closing services, and insurance services for commercial and residential transactions.

Wikiversity:Some ideas about Wikiversity

Wikiversity is a project to build a free, open learning environment and research community. Online courses are being created. Wikiversity is still being designed and discussed, and you can help set the bounds for this project.

The Scope of Wikiversity
Despite the tremendous contributions of educational content from the Wikibooks and Wikipedia projects, there remains much that universities and schools can offer students and researchers, but which is outside the scope of these other wikimedia projects. Previous wikimedia projects, taken together, constitute a totally new kind of library. Wikiversity is a project to supply additional material or capability -- to make a totally new kind of school.

There are many ways, besides the delivery of textbook and encyclopedic content, that universities empower their members. They provide:

 * projects and activities, and means for their coordination, for those who learn best by doing things like fieldwork, design, construction, experimentation, the invention and defense of hypotheses, etc; as well as those who learn best in groups.
 * a culturally "blessed" opinion of which skills and what knowledge is necessary to fulfill a culturally-defined role (e.g. doctor, anthropologist, linguist, etc) so that the student can monitor their own progress in attaining that skillset
 * a social environment for learning, including:
 * classmates and TAs with which to discuss the subject matter and the process of learning
 * experts of various kinds of which to ask questions
 * experts that are well-connected in a field and who can oversee a student's entry and acceptance into it
 * an evaluative mechanism and certification process which lessen the graduate's need to establish their knowledge, skills, and work ethic at every job interview or other opportunity

It is fairly clear that none of the above capabilities are impossible to coordinate online or using open content and tools, and if it is ever to serve as an alternative to traditional universities, the wikiversity will likely need to assume all of these functions eventually. Whether we get there one subject at a time, one function at a time, or indeed whether we get there at all is still a matter for debate, as the project is in its infancy.

History
Wikibook discussion in the Staff Lounge questioned the intent and content of that project. While Wiki community methods might be used to develop traditional textbooks, the Internet and Web facilities could also be used to support new or different models for delivery of educational material.

One of the goals of Wikibooks is to support the use of resulting books through related materials that would help an instructor to tailor the book to a particular course, or provide additional exercises and answers, drill material, etc. The discussion then went in several directions, some of which addressed an environment for organizing and supporting learning in ways other than textbooks. After several proposals and discussion the name Wikiversity was selected to describe this environment.

There have since been several issues of contention, including:

 * whether wikiversity aims to be a supplement or an alternative to the traditional classroom approach to learning.

 * whether or not to include ideas of accreditation, degree-confering, or evaluative methods in general

 * whether or not to model the general organization of the site around the concepts used in organizing universities (e.g. departments, courses, etc)

Please see the talk page and break-out pages for more information.

There has also been some agreement about what the wikiversity is not:

 * A collection of high-level links to training resources. But, of course, there should be such links if they serve for educational purposes.
 * A collection of one year or one semester increments in skills or abilities.
 * A collection of How To Books; that domain belongs to Wikibooks.
 * A collection of tutorials, books, or on-line reference material; although some of these will be included in supporting material or related Wiki projects.
 * A blogging site with individual subject or topic rants.
 * A chat room or Usenet group.

And what it is:

 * a free, open learning resource, in the sense that other wikimedia projects are free and open
 * a resource that embraces a plurality of learning styles and teaching methods
 * a global community effort
 * A collaborative, bottom-up project to create the platform, methods, and content of the Wikiversity.
 * A learning resource for the subject areas addressed.
 * An experiment in the application of computers and the Internet to learning.
 * A collection of free and open-source learning resources.
 * The Community will attempt to limit material based on accuracy or validity, and some limits are imposed based on their utility for a reasonable size of audience, or to support community standards or decency and politeness.
 * The Community does not limit material based on approved methods or the popularity of either subject matter or approach.

Supporting materials
It is obvious that the visions cannot be accomplished without access to a tremendous store of material. Wikibooks and Wikipedia are good resources, but they don't cover everything. The Internet itself can provide many of these resources, but we must address the question of persistent resources.

A suggestion here is to archive any material referenced through an external link, for use if the Internet resource is removed. We then face licensing and permission issues, but these should not be insurmountable. Many excellent materials of this kind have been created in student or faculty areas on the Web sites of schools. These pages are removed after graduation or when that faculty member moves on. If the original author can be located and given appropriate recognition they would frequently be delighted to find that someone thinks their efforts worth preservation.

Another possibility is the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. Many sites are already crawled by it; in the case that the referenced material is suitably archived there (the Archive does not always capture all the images and certainly does not cover many filetypes) one possibility is that this material instead be linked to from the Archive whenever possible, as this leaves both the archiving process and the burden of permission entirely with the Archive rather than on Wikiversity.

A Catalog of Subject Areas
The Wikiversity is organized into broad subject areas, and these are further divided into subjects and topics. The first two levels of this broad domain organization include:

 * Physical Sciences
 * School:Chemistry
 * School:Computer Science
 * School:Geology
 * School:Mathematics
 * School:Physics and Astronomy

An Idea
(I apologize for posting this twice) I almost hate to suggest this, but I wonder if it's time for a sort of governing body of Wikiversity. I agree it sounds sort of stupid, and I realize the idea is to move away from the traditional format, however, I feel like there's no direction. There's no vision, it seems, and I feel that perhaps forming even a temporary leadership body to the entire Wikiversity might not be a terrible idea. Although it maybe, but I wanted to share it. Atrivedi

(I hope this comment is not misplaced) Comment about the idea: I think that the wikiversity should include a graduate system. These graduates will have more colateral when it comes to updating course information and even working as administrators or heads of wikibooks projects - depending on which courses they've taken. Then the purpose of wikiversity will become to create an army of graduates that will further benefit the development and CREDIBILITY of wikipedia as a whole. Hopefully this potential goal will give wikiversity a vision. AdamGuy

User:Sniffy12a/Maldon Art Trail

Started in 2007, Maldon Art Trail week is a chance for local artists to exhibit their work at venues across the town for free. These venues include local shops and businesses. It is also the public's chance to explore this beautiful town and view the art on show.

Maldon Art Trail goes from strength to strength each year, thanks to the wealth of talent in the area combined with sterling support from local businesses and the Town and District councils. Without these people there would be no Art Trail.

Maldon is an inspiring town - with the tidal Blackwater Estuary, the famous Thames Barges, and the surrounding Essex countryside - and it is obvious that our artists draw plenty of inspiration from it. Variety is certainly the name of the game, with paintings, sculpture, photography, textiles and drawings on show.

The website has information each year about who is going to be exhibiting their artwork and where. The Maldon Art Trail brochure, and a map detailing which venue will be hosting which artist, is usually available at the end of August from Maldon Tourist Information Centre on Wenlock Way (Tel: 01621 856503) - or from one of the cafés and shops in town. The same information is also on the Maldon Art Trail website.

Local artists often give talks about their work during the Art Trail week and there are one or two internationally acclaimed artists in the area. These talks are sometimes free, or a donation may be asked for to cover refreshments.

The Art Trail also incorporates the Sculpture Trail, the Children’s Art Workshop and the Children’s Art Competition, the latter being open to young people aged between 0 - 18 years old.

The Sculpture Trail is hosted at the Museum of Power in Langford. This is worth a visit in itself and some delicious refreshments are available in the Steam Pump Tea Room.

The Children's Art Workshop - which has been so successful in previous years - takes place in Maldon Town Hall. There are more artists on hand each year to help young people exercise their imaginations and create something.

The Children and Young Person's Art Competition is held in Maldon Library. Prizes are donated by local businesses.

Maldon Art Trail is run by a committee of volunteers, who want to bring art to everyone, while promoting local artists.

The Maldon Art Trail Committee 2012 consists of:

Christopher Smith - Chair

Neil Rampton & Suzanne Rampton - Secretary

Chris Kirvan - Treasurer

Nicola Hughes - Essex Summer of Arts co-ordinator

Mike Barter - Sculpture Trail

.............

Maldon Art Trail is held as part of Essex Summer of Art. The Essex Summer of Art is a countywide showcase of art and takes place from May to October. Local artists will be exhibiting their work at art trails and open studios in the county's rural, coastal and urban settings. Taking in painting, photography, ceramics, textile and sculpture, the art trails feature a wide variety of creative talent at both innovative and traditional venues across Essex.

Essex Summer of Art is delivered in partnership with FirstSite, Essex County Council's Arts Development, 2012 Legacy and Tourism Teams, participating District, Borough Councils, Unitary Authority, BBC Essex and Essex's many and varied art trails.

Hyperbole
" he breathed new life into the world’s most influential international economic institution."

The first part of the sentence extract above is unsourced and subjective; the second half is unsourced hyperbole, presumably also written by a fan (and/or from the gent's CV?) - Corroboration neeeded. As it stands, it smacks of hagiography. OECD is a government-funded think-tank, last time I checked.

Mission Chapel, New Amsterdam

Mission Chapel, a Congregational Church, was built around 1814 in New Amsterdam, Berbice, Guyana. Mission Chapel is located at 12 Chapel Street, New Amsterdam, Berbice.

History
It was founded by the Rev. John Wray, and was the first church to open its doors to slaves, and the first without separate seating. The history of the church dates back to around 1812 when Rev. Wray paid a visit to the Berbice slaves and was inspired to stay and help teach them. A large tamarind tree, beneath which Rev. Wray would sit to teach the slaves to read and write, still occupies part of the church compound. Wray, who served for 24 years, is buried in Stanleytown, New Amsterdam.

The church was opened in 1819 and was twice enlarged. It was destroyed by fire in 1824. The church was rebuilt in 1825, and again in 1944. Mission Chapel probably has the largest seating capacity of all churches in Guyana - 1,500 seats.

A two-storey church manse was built in 1899.

In 1969, the Rev. Pat Matthews became the first Guyanese pastor at Mission Chapel. In 1978 he was honoured for meritorious service among the Amerindians.

In 1966, the Government made a gift of $25,000 to the residents of Berbice to renovate and further preserve the church. In 1976, the structure was named a historic one by the Government of Guyana. In 2001, Mission Chapel was designated a National Heritage Site by the Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Commerce.

Nyaaringu

Nyaaringu is the debut studio album by Australian singer and songwriter Miiesha, released digitally on 29 May 2020. Following its physical release in August 2020, the album peaked at number 28 on the ARIA charts.

Speaking about the album, Miiesha said "Nyaaringu is a collection of stories that I feel I wanted to tell or that I needed to speak on. For me it represents my journey and where I'm at now coming from Woorabinda. The interludes in the collection are recordings of my Grandmother speaking. For me she was and always will stay with me as the strongest voice in my life, so I felt she had to be a part of this with me." Nyaaringu is a phrase meaning "what happened" in the Pitjantjatjara language.

At the National Indigenous Music Awards 2020, the album was nominated for Album of the Year. At the 2020 ARIA Music Awards it won Best Soul/R&B Release.

Critical reception
Ali Shutler from NME said "Nyaaringu [is] a fearless debut album that weaves a story about the Indigenous experience", calling it "A soulful R&B record whose tales of discrimination, empowerment and freedom bear relevance well beyond Australia's borders." The Music AU called the album "thematically and communally, powerful."

Tyler Jenke from ToneDeaf said "Arguably one of the strongest debuts in recent memory, and one of the most fitting records to be released during Reconciliation Week, Nyaaringu sees Miiesha Young sharing her story in the way only she can, with a dazzling blend of smooth soulful vocals serving as a statement of self-belief." Geordie Gray from ToneDeaf called Nyaaringu "essential listening", saying "Miiesha deftly weaves stories of community, survival and inherited knowledge. A pivotal masterpiece and an ode to resilience. A heartbreakingly timely debut."

Laura English from Music Feeds called the album "absolutely stunning but the collection of songs goes deeper, exploring the themes of cultural identity and community."

Al Newstead from Triple J said "Miiesha's debut release is one every Australian should hear... Weaving intensely personal and honest storytelling with the kind of warm production SZA or Solange would kill for, Miiesha captures the complexity of the individual Indigenous experience through universally appealing songs."

Simon Winkler from Stack Magazine said the album "...draws upon gospel, R&B, hip hop, soul and spoken word poetry to create something unique, universal and profoundly personal."

Talk:Kroll & Prumni

Credits for graphic design
Hi,

I personally known Marco Alberto Donadoni, founder and game designer of International Team, and he confirmed me that the graphic design for Kroll & Prumni was by Enea Riboldi. Enea produced all the graphics in 1979. Do we need some official source to credit this work to Enea? At the moment Marco is looking for some booklet signed by Enea, but since this was almost 40 years ago it's not an easy task.

I have issues with the references
The so called "review" on BGG is actually just its main page. The game actually has no reviews. So that is a bit of a red flag. Still it is higher ranked than other games on wikipedia, so it needs a bit of investigation. Slimy asparagus (talk) 09:32, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
