Wikibooks

Wikibooks, previously called Wikimedia Free Textbook Project and Wikimedia-Textbooks, is a wiki for the creation of free content books. Wikibooks is a Wikimedia project that was started on July 10, 2003 with the mission to create a free collection of open-content textbooks that anyone can edit. Since its founding, volunteers have written over 35,000 modules in a multitude of textbooks.

What is the difference between Wikibooks and Wikiversity?
Wikibooks hosts textbooks. Wikiversity does not host textbooks. Wikiversity started at Wikibooks, but later evolved into a separate project. Wikiversity is for types of learning resources that are not hosted by other Wikimedia projects. Wikiversity is exploring ways to use wiki technology to support learning communities.

 * "...the idea here is to also host learning communities, so people who are actually trying to learn, actually have a place to come and interact and help each other figure out how to learn things. We're also going to be hosting and fostering research into how these kinds of things can be used more effectively." (source)

How can Wikiversity and Wikibooks complement each other?
Wikiversity participants can learn about a topic and then use what they have learned to improve textbooks at Wikibooks or encyclopedia articles at Wikipedia. Helping make textbooks and encyclopedia articles are just two types of learning activities. Many other types of learning activities are being explored at Wikiversity. Take a look at Category:Learning activities.

Many Wikiversity schools, divisions, departments and learning resources have a "Wikibooks" section that links directly to relevant subjects at Wikibooks. See Wikiversity and Wikibooks services for more ways to help Wikiversity and Wikibooks complement each other.

Ideas for classroom use
Several classes at brick-and-mortar University have utilized Wikibooks for a "real world" class. For example Ethnomedicine was created in a vigorous and rather astonishing fashion. It facilitated both the learning of the individuals of the class, and also made valuable information available for others to use.

You could create a syllabus for your class here at Wikiversity, and then have students create a book as a study or homework tool over at Wikibooks. All of this content would be available for the free use by others at a later date. You can use the protected course template to ensure pages for your students remain consistent with your intentions for the duration of the course.

Wikiversity is still rather new, and you are encouraged to be creative in the ways that you utilize Wikibooks and Wikiversity for your learning goals.

Organization of Wikibooks
Textbooks at Wikibooks are broken into 8 major subjects, which are then further subdivided into more specific subjects in a hierarchical manner. Each subject page corresponds to a different subject area such as mathematics, computer science, or history. Books on Wikibooks are also organized into alphabetical, Dewey-Decimal, and Library of Congress classification categories, which may be browsed independently from the subjects.

Books for children from birth until age 12 are located in Wikijunior, a sub-project of Wikibooks. Wikijunior books encompass material from all subjects, and are specifically written for children. Some Wikijunior books are intended to accompany a classroom learning atmosphere, but many books are useful for at-home learning between parent and child.

Introduction to Research

This is an introduction to doing research, particularly original research. Please feel free to edit this guide, to add methods, methodologies that you use, or to add questions, requests or comments on the talk page.

Starting research
You will most likely start doing research because you have a particular interest in a particular field. You might want to find out more about, for example, the links between poverty and crime; how to provide for multiculturalism in the classroom; or what the extent and effects of pollution in your area are.

To find out more about this interest of yours, you must identify a "path" that you will take in order to undertake this research. You will most likely not know what this path is, but you might have some idea of where to start - e.g. from your theoretical/disciplinary standpoint, or from something that you have read that has made you think, even if you disagree with it. You may find, in thinking about your area further, that there is something which is not working, or which is unknown, or perhaps which is hypothesised, but that needs to be tested. This is the context for your research - your research problem. The next thing that you need to do is to turn that problem into a question or a statement - which you will use to address this problem.

Research question
Your research question (or questions) should be your tool(s) for addressing the issue that you have identified as being of interest to you. The way you ask the question is vital to determining what kind of research you will conduct. For example, if you are interested in the second example above - multiculturalism in the classroom - you could ask a number of questions about this, all of which will guide you in a specific direction. Examples of questions to address this context/problem might include:

 * "Why are some schools managing to integrate students from different backgrounds better than others?"
 * "How are teachers in [X] coping with the increasing numbers of students from [X]?"
 * "What could I do to improve the intercultural awareness of the students within my class?"
 * "What is the impact of multiculturalism on classroom ethos?
 * "What are the strengths and weaknesses of multiculturalism in the classroom?

Each of these questions has a particular slant (possibly even a philosophy), both in what it is targeting and how it is phrased. They will also inevitably spawn a number of other questions, or sub-questions. They also may need to be refined, or clarified (such as, in the second question, by asking "What measures are teachers taking to cope with ...?". This is a continual process that you will have to think about constantly throughout your research - possibly even after your data collection and analysis. Things to bear in mind in forming questions to ask is to be realistic in what you can answer (with the time/resources you have available), and also in how many questions you are answering (better to have one or two well-focussed questions, than five vague ones).

Literature review
Research cannot exist in a vacuum. In order to be scientific and rigorous, your research must itself be based within the context of "the literature" (ie books, journals, newspaper articles). Literature here can be taken broadly - it is perfectly valid, for example, to cite television programs as contributing to the context of your area of inquiry. Your research should show that you have read around both your subject and the methodologies that you have chosen - your questions, methodologies and methods will also largely be shaped or influenced by what you have read.

Methodologies and methods
There are a wide array of research methodologies and methods, and, while there are some distinctions amongst these, there can also be significant overlap or multiple methods/methodologies used in a single research design. Research methodologies can take the form of experiment, case study, and/or survey, can be either, or a mixture of, qualitative (based on words and meanings) or quantitative (based on statistics and their meanings), and can incorporate a variety of methods to generate data (eg. observations, questionnaires), as well as varieties of ways of analysing this data. The following are some common ways of designing a methodology that answers your research question(s), and methods of generating data.

Methodologies

 * Experiment: An experiment-based methodology is where, simply speaking, a stimulus is applied (eg. a new system of teaching science to primary school students) and its response is measured (eg. by analysing exam results). Such a methodology is most often linked with a quantitative (ie statistical) approach, but this is not necessarily the case. To maximise the validity of such studies, there is usually some element of controlling of/for variables (such as by having a group of students who are taught differently to normal, and another group who are taught the same as normal). It can be linked with methods such as observation, interview etc.
 * Survey: A survey is a study of a phenomenon over/within a geographic region. This could involve, say, a survey of the crime rates of every major city in a certain country (where "major city" needs to be defined), or a survey of a sample of bloggers' political motivations (where this sample needs to be defined).
 * Case study: A case study, as the name implies, is a study of a specific "case", or group of "cases" - a "case" being an individual person, an organisation, a school etc. Some research will focus on one single case and attempt to generate "rich" data (ie revealing as much complexity as possible); and some research will focus on a number of cases, either which are significantly different from one another, or which are similar, or which are clustered or spread in a geographic/socio-political spread. Focussing on a number of cases can approach a survey design (or mini-survey) - or sometimes large-scale surveys can be used in order to identify specific cases which might be of interest to the researcher.

Overall, research design is a complicated, and personal, thing. There is no research which is implemented from another design "off-the-shelf". Of course your research will probably echo much research done before - and this is a good thing - but, in order to be individual, interesting and useful, it needs to be continually grounded in the research questions that you have outlined - as well as appropriate to the subject/context/environment/population that you are studying. In order to address a complex question (and all research questions are complex), you will need to identify what methodologies and methods - or, more likely, combinations of methodologies and methods - are most likely to address your particular question to your satisfaction.

Methodological issues

 * Sampling - Are the people you have chosen to participate in your research (or who have themselves chosen to participate in your research), representative of the population? In other words, if you can draw conclusions from your particular study, will it be useful or applicable to other people? Does it matter to you if your sample is unrepresentative?
 * Ethics - Are you potentially harming someone through your research? A central maxim of human-subject research (ie that involving people) is "do no harm".
 * Validity - How might your design be flawed, or your conclusions wrong?

Methods
Some examples of research methods:
 * Questionnaires: Sometimes a questionnaire can contain a number of questions with a number of options to choose from (ie where you have to "tick a box, or number of boxes"). Other questionnaires may be questions with space in which to write more free-form or detailed answers. Some questionnaires will have a mixture of both types of questions. Both types of questions can have their strengths and weaknesses.
 * Observations: Observation is paying close attention to an environment, its context, and its social dynamics. It can be systematic (where the researcher will be recording, for example, how many times a person scratches their head), or more free-form where the researcher watches everything and records as much detail as they can or that they feel is appropriate. This latter type is a form of "participant observation", and which is often associated with anthropological or ethnographic research.
 * Interviews: Interviews can be between one person and another, or in a group setting. They can be "structured" (where the interviewer will ask a predetermined set of questions), "semi-structured" (where the interviewer will ask a number of questions based on an outline of topics to be covered), or "unstructured" (where the interviewer will ask questions based on whatever emerges during the interview itself - or, often, will not seem to ask questions, but rather facilitate or participate in a conversation).
 * Eliciting: Eliciting is a way of getting people to talk about something, based on a prompt, such as a photograph, or piece of music. For example, in research done with young children, an interview might be intimidating, but a photograph (for example) gives the child or children something to talk about, while giving the researcher an opportunity to observe reactions to the photograph.

Activity
''Return to the Research questions section above, and try to see what methodologies and methods you would use to address each of them. Why do you think your selection of methodologies and methods works better than other possible options? What potential issues do you see arising from your choices?''

Analysis
Once you have collected your data (e.g. filled-in questionnaires, interviews recorded and transcribed), you must now do something with it! What good is your data to anyone else if it is not interpreted (except, of course, other researchers)?

Writing
Writing up your research into a report, paper, essay or thesis. See for more at Help:Resource types

Cookbook:Dandelion

| Vegetable

Dandelions are plants widely considered weeds, but which are fully edible.

Characteristics
Dandelions have long green leaves with "toothed" edges  —the tip of the leaf may be broad and rounded or small and pointed. They produce bright yellow, slightly fuzzy flowers. The flavor of the leaves is akin to that of chicory, with a slight bitterness. This bitterness is more pronounced in older leaves, especially after the plant has flowered.

Selection and storage
Dandelion leaves are best harvested before the flowers appear, and the youngest plants are best, being the least bitter. When purchasing wild dandelions, look for smaller, more tender leaves. When foraging, look for patches that are not right by the road or other pollution sources. If you come across cultivated dandelions grown away from light, even the larger leaves will be less bitter. Dandelion can also be harvested again in late fall, as a frost destroys their protective bitterness. Find some flowers in your yard or field.

Preparation
The leaves should be rinsed well to remove any dirt and debris. Young, tender leaves may be eaten raw at this point. Older, more bitter leaves should be boiled in a couple changes of water for a few minutes each to leach out excess bitterness. When done, they should have the consistency of cooked spinach.

Use
The greens of the dandelion plant are used either raw in salads or cooked like other greens, such as spinach. The roots may also be slowly roasted and infused in hot water to make a beverage.

Substitution
Dandelion greens can be replaced by other bitter leafy greens, both in raw and cooked applications.

River Sherbourne

The River Sherbourne is a river that flows under the centre of the city of Coventry, in the West Midlands, in England.

The source of the river is in the fields near Hawkes End in the parish of Allesley. It flows for about 8 miles or 13 km in a generally southeastern direction. In the centre of Coventry it flows through Spon End (where it is spanned by Vignoles Bridge) and it is culverted just before it reaches the Inner Ring Road and Spon Street, and continues through the suburb of Whitley. It joins the River Sowe (a tributary of the River Avon) south of the A45 road near Baginton.

The name Sherbourne is said to derive from Scir Burna, "clear stream" in Old English.

In 1935 and on eight more recent occasions, the upper Sherbourne around Allesley has dried up almost completely.

Coventry City Council has plans to open up a stretch of the river which is currently culverted, and runs beneath The Burges, a street in the city centre.

As part of the Sherbourne Valley Project, there are plans to return the river to its natural course, avoiding the current culverts and weirs, in the area of Coundon Wedge, west of Coventry. Specifically where the river is joined by the North Brook. This would allow fish to pass up and down the river more easily.

The grade II-listed Sherbourne Viaduct carries the Rugby–Birmingham–Stafford line over the river near the Charterhouse.

List of crossings
In downstream order from source to confluence with the Sowe:
 * Spon End Viaduct
 * Spon Bridge (grade II listed)
 * Vignoles Bridge
 * River is culverted beneath Coventry City Centre
 * Gosford Street
 * Bridge at the Charterhouse, off London Road
 * Sherbourne Viaduct
 * A4082 London Road
 * Whitley Abbey Bridge (grade II listed)
 * A45 road (Stonebridge Highway)

Learning Java/Important Java classes

Introduction
It's a fact. As a general rule, programmers are lazy. At least, it seems that way, considering how often we talk thinking about the future and reusing code. Why do we care so much?

Suppose for a moment that you're making a calculator program. You need to be able calculate exponents, square roots, and trig functions. Sure, it's possible to write your own function to find a square root, but do you know the algorithm?

What about a calendar? You'd need some sort of  class that holds a specific instant in time, and maybe another to format that date in a way that humans understand.

Wouldn't it be nice if all these things were done for you? If there was some great library of standard classes you could just import into your programs and use as if you wrote them yourself? Dream no more. The answer is... the Java API.

What does API stand for? "Application Programming Interface." What does that mean? It doesn't matter. What does matter is that there are lots and lots and lots of classes in there that you can use. Oh, and it ships with your compiler. That's right -- if you can write text to the command line with, you can use the API. And guess what? If you write text to the command line with, you're already using the API.

Benefits of Using the Java API
You might be wondering why you should bother using code that someone else wrote. Isn't it all about writing the code yourself?

Put simply, no. Here's why.

It Saves You Time
You could go online, find an algorithm for calculating a square root, and translate the math into Java code. Or you could use the API's  class to do it for you. Second idea here is that you can trust Java API. Can you trust your first attempt to make something more complicated than a simple dynamic array memory allocation? There is a lot of debugging and optimizing done. It is a hard work which none of us want to repeat.

It Saves You Effort
Suppose you want to read data out of a file. Do you know how to do that? (I'll give you a hint -- it involves  methods and other programming languages.)

...I didn't think so. Using the API's  package is much simpler.

It Provides a Standard
If your personal calendar program uses your  class to mark points in time, but your friend's todo list program uses his   class, you would have to write some sort of translator class to let the programs talk to each other. That's no fun. If you both use, no translator would be necessary.

Organization of the API
The Java API is the collective term for all the classes that you can use. It's broken down into packages, groups of related classes.

Package names are lowercase by convention and separated by periods. The  package, for example, is the Java standard package containing classes relating to file I/O. contains various utility classes;  provides utility classes for concurrent (multi-threaded) programming.

The Statement
To use classes in the API, use the  statement. At the beginning of your source code file, even before your class definition (the  line), add a line with the   keyword, the fully-qualified classname of the class you want to use, and a semicolon.

A class's fully-qualified classname is simply the name of the class prefixed with the name of its package and a period. For example, the fully-qualified classname of the  class in package   is. To import that class, use the statement

You can import as many classes as you want, with one exception: you can't create a naming conflict. That is, you can't import two classes with the same (non-fully-qualified) classname (like  and  ), or a class whose (non-fully-qualified) classname is the same as the name of one of your classes.

To import all the classes from a package, replace the classname with the asterisk wildcard:

Note that importing a "superpackage" does not also import its "subpackages"; that is, to import all classes from the packages,  ,  ,  ,  , and  , you must specifically import each of them:

If you only use the first line, only the classes directly in that package will be imported (like ), but no classes in any "subpackages" (like  ).

is Special
The package  is special. It contains fundamental classes that tie directly into the Java language. It contains some of the most commonly-used classes. For this reason, the  package is imported into every Java file whether you put in   or not.

Using the API Documentation
It's all very well for me to tell you the most commonly used classes, what they do, and how to use them. But there are thousands of classes in the API, and there's no way I could tell you about all of them. For this reason, the same people that made the API also created the API documentation, found here.

A string is a generic programming term for a variable that holds text. In Java, the  class does the trick.

For more information, see the java.lang.String page.

True to its name,  contains functions for doing math. It uses static methods, which is a topic too advanced for this lesson. For now, just trust that the special syntax we give you works.

For more information, and the special syntax for using static methods, see the java.lang.Math page.

Organic Chemistry/Ketones and aldehydes

Aldehydes and ketones  are both carbonyl compounds. They are organic compounds in which the carbonyl carbon is connected to conyl carbon satisfied by a H atom, while a ketone has both its vacancies satisfied by carbon.

Naming Aldehydes and Ketones
Ketones are named by replacing the -e in the alkane name with -one. The carbon chain is numbered so that the ketone carbon, called the carbonyl group, gets the lowest number. For example, would be named 2-butanone because the root structure is butane and the ketone group is on the number two carbon.

Alternatively, functional class nomenclature of ketones is also recognized by IUPAC, which is done by naming the substituents attached to the carbonyl group in alphabetical order, ending with the word ketone. The above example of 2-butanone can also be named ethyl methyl ketone using this method.

If two ketone groups are on the same structure, the ending -dione would be added to the alkane name, such as heptane-2,5-dione.

Aldehydes replace the -e ending of an alkane with -al for an aldehyde. Since an aldehyde is always at the carbon that is numbered one, a number designation is not needed. For example, the aldehyde of pentane would simply be pentanal.

The -CH=O group of aldehydes is known as a formyl group. When a formyl group is attached to a ring, the ring name is followed by the suffix "carbaldehyde". For example, a hexane ring with a formyl group is named cyclohexanecarbaldehyde.

Boiling Points and Bond Angles
Aldehyde and ketone polarity is characterized by the high dipole moments of their carbonyl group, which makes them rather polar molecules. They are more polar than alkenes and ethers, though because they lack hydrogen, they cannot participate in hydrogen bonding like alcohols, thus making their relative boiling points higher than alkenes and ethers, yet lower than alcohols.

Typical bond angles between the carbonyl group and its substituents show minor deviations from the trigonal planar angles of 120 degrees, with a slightly higher bond angle between the O=C-R bond than the R-C-R bond on the carbonyl carbon (with R being any substituent).

Partial oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes
This reaction uses pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) in the absence of water (if water is present the alcohol will be oxidized further to a carboxylic acid).

Stephen reduction
Here sulfur is used as a poisoner so that aldehyde formed doesn't get oxidised to the carboxylic acid. See the Wikipedia article for more detail.

Rosenmund reaction
(For solvent xylene is used)

From Grignard reagents
R'           R'      OH                       |             |       |

|                  |             |   O-R'                OR'           OR'

From nitriles
RCN + R'MgX > RCOR'(after hydrolysis) HCN does not react with RMgX as HCN has acidic hydrogen which results in RH being formed.

From gem dihalides
RCCl2R + strong base > RCOR

Oppenaur oxidation
Reagent is Aluminium tert. butoxide solvent is acetone

ROH + ACETONE > Ketone + isopropyl alcohol this oxidation does not affect double bonds in this oxidation ketone act as a oxidizing agent this is exact opposite to merrwine pondroff reduction

Friedel-Crafts acylation of aromatic compounds
An aromatic ring reacts with a carboxylic acid chlorine (RCOCl) in the presence of AlCl3 to form an aryl ketone of the form ArCOR.

Oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones
A secondary alcohol can be oxidised into a ketone using acidified potassium dichromate(VI) and heating under reflux.

The orange dichromate(VI) ion, Cr2O72-, is reduced to the green Cr3+(aq) ion.

Ozonolysis of alkenes
It is a reaction in which the double bond is completely broken and the alkene molecule converted into two smaller molecules. Ozonolysis (cleavage "by ozone) is carried out in two stages: first, addition of ozone to the double bond to form an ozonide ; and second, hydrolysis of the ozonide to yield the cleavage products.

Ozone gas is passed into a solution of the alkene in some inert solvent like carbon tetrachloride; evaporation of the solvent leaves the ozonide as a viscous oil. This unstable, explosive compound is not purified, but is treated directly with water, generally in the presence of a reducing agent. If oxidising reagent is used, aldehyde or ketone if oxidisable can further oxidise into carboxylic acid which is not the case with reducing agents

In the cleavage products a doubly-bonded oxygen is found attached to each of the originally doubly-bonded carbons.

The function of the reducing agent, which is frequently zinc dust, is to prevent formation of hydrogen peroxide, which would otherwise react with the aldehydes and ketones. (Aldehydes, RCHO, are often converted into acids,rCOOH, for ease of isolation.)

Mechanism
The alkene and ozone form an intermediate molozonide in a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. Next, the molozonide reverts to its corresponding carbonyl oxide (also called the Criegee intermediate or Criegee zwitterion) and aldehyde or ketone in a retro-1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The oxide and aldehyde or ketone react again in a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition or produce a relatively stable ozonide intermediate (a trioxolane)

Hydration of alkynes
Water is added to an alkyne in a strong acid. The strong acid used is sulfuric acid and mercuric acid.

Keto-enol tautomerism
In the presence of an acid (H+) or a base (OH-), the aldehyde or ketone will form an equilibrium with enols, in which the double bond of the carbonyl group migrates to form double bond between the carbonyl and the alpha (α) carbon.

In the presence of an acid, protonation of the oxygen group will occur, and water will abstract an alpha (α) hydrogen.

In the presence of a base, deprotonation of the alpha hydrogen will occur, and a hydrogen from water will be abstracted by the carbonyl oxygen.

This is an important feature of ketone and aldehydes, and is known as the keto-enolic tautomery or keto-enol tautomerism, i.e. the equilibrium of carbonyl compounds between two forms.

It must be stressed that the keto and the enol forms are two distinct compounds, not isomers. They are known as tautomers of each other. The presence of α-hydrogen is necessary for this equilibrium: those compounds not possessing it are called non-enolizable ketones.

Reactions with the carbonyl carbon
Since aldehydes and ketones contain a polar carbonyl group, the partially positive carbon atom can act as an electrophile. Strong and weak nucleophiles are able to attack this carbonyl carbon, resulting in a net addition to the molecule.

Nucleophilic addition
With cyanide, nucleophilic addition occur to give a hydroxynitrile:

RR'C=O + CN- + H+ → RR'COHCN

e.g. propanone → 2-hydroxymethylpropanonitrile

Reactions with the carbonyl oxygen
The partially negative oxygen can act as a nucleophile, or be attacked by electrophiles.

Oxidation
Using a strong oxidizing agent such as the Tollens' Reagent (Ag2O in aqueous ammonia) acidified dichromate, Benedict's/Fehling's reagent (essentially alkaline Cu+2); aldehydes but not ketones may be oxidized into carboxylic acids. This is one way to test for the presence of an aldehyde in a sample compound: an aldehyde will become a carboxylic acid when reacted with Tollens' reagent, but a ketone will not react. when aldehydes react with fehling solution a red precipitate is obtained (due to formation of Cu2O).

Inductive Effect and Greek letter assignment
The carbonyl group is very electron withdrawing, and adjacent carbons are effected by induction. Using the carbonyl group as a reference, adjacent carbons are named using Greek letters in order of closeness to the carbonyl group. Alpha (α) carbons are directly attached to the carbonyl group, beta (β) carbons are connected to alpha carbons, gamma (γ) to beta (β), and so on.

Due to the inductive effect of the partial positive especially prone to removal.

USA-94

USA-94, also known as GPS IIA-13, GPS II-22 and GPS SVN-35, was an American navigation satellite which formed part of the Global Positioning System. It was the thirteenth of nineteen Block IIA GPS satellites to be launched.

Background
Global Positioning System (GPS) was developed by the U.S. Department of Defense to provide all-weather round-the-clock navigation capabilities for military ground, sea, and air forces. Since its implementation, GPS has also become an integral asset in numerous civilian applications and industries around the globe, including recreational used (e.g., boating, aircraft, hiking), corporate vehicle fleet tracking, and surveying. GPS employs 24 spacecraft in 20,200 km circular orbits inclined at 55.0°. These vehicles are placed in 6 orbit planes with four operational satellites in each plane.

GPS Block 2 was the operational system, following the demonstration system composed of Block 1 (Navstar 1 - 11) spacecraft. These spacecraft were 3-axis stabilized, nadir pointing using reaction wheels. Dual solar arrays supplied 710 watts of power. They used S-band (SGLS) communications for control and telemetry and Ultra high frequency (UHF) cross-link between spacecraft. The payload consisted of two L-band navigation signals at 1575.42 MHz (L1) and 1227.60 MHz (L2). Each spacecraft carried 2 rubidium and 2 Cesium clocks and nuclear detonation detection sensors. Built by Rockwell Space Systems for the U.S. Air force, the spacecraft measured 5.3 m across with solar panels deployed and had a design life of 7.5 years.

Launch
USA-94 was launched at 12:38:00 UTC on 30 August 1993, atop a Delta II launch vehicle, flight number D222, flying in the 7925-9.5 configuration. The launch took place from Launch Complex 17B (LC-17B) at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), and placed USA-94 into a transfer orbit. The satellite raised itself into medium Earth orbit using a Star-37XFP apogee motor.

Mission
On 1 October 1993, USA-94 was in an orbit with a perigee of 20074 km, an apogee of 20221 km, a period of 716.0 minutes, and 54.9° of inclination to the equator. It broadcast the PRN 5 signal, and operated in slot 4, and later 5, of plane B of the GPS constellation. The satellite had a mass of 840 kg and a design life of 7.5 years. It was initially decommissioned on 26 March 2009 and then kept as a residual satellite. SVN 35 was then recalled to replace SVN 30 in the active constellation on 16 August 2011.

It was then decommissioned again on 1 May 2013, after almost 20 years in orbit, and finally placed in a disposal orbit approximately 1000 km above the operational constellation and deactivated on 10 June 2016.

Radu Sârbu, Sîrbu or Sǐrbu
I think that "Sârbu" is new spelling form for ROMANIAN language. "Sîrbu" is MOLDOVAN, and OLD Romanian. "Sǐrbu" (an "i" with a breve) is incorrect. Peccafly 11:38, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Well what you call "OLD Romanian" is actually newer than the so called "New Romanian". The "OLD romanian" was a way for the Soviets and the communist to break down the language and to bring conformaty to the population. --Nat.tang 23:40, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Victoria Feat Radu Sirbu - Lambada Night
Sometimes it happens that this is Inna's song (for example ). Also DJ Layla & Victoria Feat Radu Sirbu.

But it looks like it's Victoria feat Radu Sirbu.

DJ Layla's article has 7 singles from Radu Sirbu. Here, however, apparently, it’s not a sing, but just a song.

There is no article about the singer Victoria and there is no mention of her in the disambiguation Victoria. “Lambada Night” is not mentioned in articles about Radu Sarbu, Inna and DJ Leila. Like other articles. Meanwhile, the song is not something unknown.

Whose song is this? Victoria? Radu Sirbu? Maybe add it to the article Radu Sirbu (DJ Layla)? If there is confirmation. - <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 14:51, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

Cookbook:Homemade Peanut Butter

Peanut butter is a food product usually consisting of roasted and ground peanuts, sometimes sweetened. It is commonly sold in grocery stores, but can be made at home. Many styles are available; the most popular are creamy (smooth) and crunchy, but honey-roasted or wholenut varieties can also be found. Creamy peanut butter is made by grinding all of the mixture very finely. The crunchier styles leave portions of the mixture with a coarser grind, resulting in larger pieces of peanut interspersed with the creamier fine ground mixture.

Used in sandwiches (particularly the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich), candy (for example, Reese's Pieces), and pastry, it is a good source of protein, and is popular with children. For people with nut allergies, the intense concentration of nuts in peanut butter can cause fatal anaphylactic shock. Peanut butter is often contaminated with aflatoxin.

Ingredients

 * 2 cups raw shelled peanuts
 * 1½ teaspoon vegetable oil, peanut oil or canola oil
 * 1½ tablespoon olive oil
 * ½ teaspoon white sugar (optional)
 * 2 teaspoon honey (optional)
 * 1 pinch of salt

Procedure

 * 1) Combine the peanuts and vegetable oil (peanut oil or canola oil) in a bowl.
 * 2) Place tinfoil on a baking pan, and bake the peanuts at 200–350 °F for about 10 minutes.
 * 3) Let peanuts cool.
 * 4) Mix with olive oil. Process or blend for a while.
 * 5) Add in sugar, honey and salt. Process or blend until you are satisfied.

roll/log
Isn't this really a "link roll"? That is what http://del.icio.us/help refers to them as. I'll clarify and make a redirect from "link roll" to this soon if there's no discussion, though I think "r_Linklog - jdsiouewkrñ.f,msdjkcg<<zl.nrfetSólo enlaces                              oll" should eventually be the primary title. - Fcendejas 18:36, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Generally a collection of links attached to a regular blog is a link roll (or more commonly a blogroll) -- a blog which consists primarily or entirely of links to other stuff is a linkblog. Not that I have any citations whatsoever to back that up, but that seems to be the most common usage of the terms IMO. -- anonymous user who doesn't have an account 6 Dec 2006

How about some samples, or examples, of Linklogs. I think we're talking about something that is not a part of another thing, in this case a blog, but a stand-alone Linklog, or at least something that is pretty close to something that stands alone. If, however, a linklog is in fact a link roll, blogroll, or some other standard part of a blog, this term should be retired. Personally, I am not aware of any link only blogs, but I'd love to discover some. --TMH 23:14, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

 * The term linklog appears to broader. Link roll is probably just a more modern slag for linklog.

"Linked list"
can you defend your edits here? I think you're taking a few un-related places where the words "Link" and "Log" appear next to each other, and claiming they're related. The article (for most of its history) described a linklog as a blog with links, which appears to have minimal (but some) usage. The definition you give feels completely fake. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 16:59, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

Split page and disambiguate two different subjects: linkblog user feature, link log CS construct
This article does a poor job of attempting to document two very different meanings for "linklog" which have nothing to do with each other and make the page confusing: I propose: Tantek (talk) 18:48, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Linkblog - as defined in the article as a user feature / application
 * Link log - the thing in the image, presumably "feature of computing systems" / telco systems (PBX)
 * split the article into two different stubs, as there is enough material for each, and each if separately notable. E.g.
 * linkblog - the user feature/application - this is a much more common / specific term for this practice
 * link log - The jjk thesis (and the image which came from there apparently) uses "link log" and the Avaya citation says "link-log". Zero use of a single word "linklog".
 * Turn linklog into a disambiguation page for both of those ^^^

GU-50

The GU-50 (Russian: ГУ-50) is a power pentode vacuum tube intended for 50 watt operation as a linear RF amplifier on frequencies up to 120 MHz. It is, in fact, a Soviet-produced copy of the Telefunken LS-50 power pentode, possibly reverse-engineered from German (Wehrmacht) military radios captured during World War II, or based on documentation, machines and materials captured as a trophy. It is one of the more unusual types of tube because of its non-standard 8-pin base and a metal "cap" (not connected to any of the tube internal elements) with a plastic "handle" on top of the envelope - which is meant to ease extracting the tube from its socket (especially when the tube is hot). One stock Russian-produced socket includes a rugged die-cast metal cage-like enclosure for the tube with spring-loaded locking lid. (The cap was made for fixation of the tube in the metal can, since tubes were designed for mobile operations). Another stock Russian-produced socket is stamped of light aluminium sheet metal, without a lid on top.

In the past the tube was very popular with Soviet and Eastern European amateur radio operators because it was commonly available (from military and government warehouses) and could produce fairly large amounts of output power using relatively simple designs. Also, it was popular in Soviet-era DIY audio amplifiers for hi-fi and musical instruments. GU-50 tubes were used also in early TV sets as a horizontal sweep output stage, and in medical devices as RF generators. The tube was never used in mass production amplifiers for civil usage because of relatively expensive technology and materials used.

During the Soviet years, the tube was produced by one of the major Soviet transmitting-tube manufacturers in the city of Ulianovsk. It was also made in Poland, in the Unitra factory. At this time it is unclear if current production of the tube exists; however, large quantities of New Old Stock (NOS) GU-50s appear to be available in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe and the type is far more readily found than the original LS-50.

GU-50 was not alone. There were other successors of LS-50 designed by Telefunken. Switzerland's BBC produced P50/1 and later modified version P50/2. They had the same base and pinout as the original LS-50. German Democratic Republic made a P50 that had the same bulb as Soviet ГУ-50. Later RFT made a P50-1 version of their tube. Unlike Soviet TV designers that used stock military GU-50 for their first TV sets, Eastern German manufacturers offered P50-2 especially made for TV horizontal sweep duties. There were also versions with simplified bulbs made for civil usage, but internals were still too expensive to compete with civil tubes like rugged clones of RCA 6L6 and especially designed later sweep tubes like EL500. The Western German version was called FL152 (or, with 6.3-volt heater, EL152); Eastern German version was called SRS552N. Czechoslovak company Tesla also produced copy of LS-60 under designation 6L50. It had cap and different socket, but it was electrically identical.

The tube, despite its European popularity, was not well known in U.S.A. and Canada until audiophiles rediscovered it after the collapse of Eastern political block and Soviet Union.

The Chinese version of this tube is called FU-50 and production still continues, probably by Shuguang, the major Chinese tube builder.

The tube was originally designed for mobile operations, so its filament draws only 0.705 amps of current, while anode power dissipation allowed is up to 40 watts, quite big for such low filament power. It determines the need for high anode voltage, 800 V typically. The screen grid is quite dense, so its voltage when working in pentode mode is limited by 300 volts, otherwise power dissipated by the grid when anode voltage goes below screen grid voltage would damage it. That's why the tube cannot be efficiently used in so-called "Ultra - Linear" regime when anode and screen grid have the same voltage at idle. However, in triode mode anode voltage never goes below screen grid voltage, so 400–450 volts of B+ is acceptable.

The tube can work also in so-called "Right-handed triode" mode, or "High Mu" mode, when all 3 grids are connected together and used with positive bias. In such regime, B+ voltage can be up to 1200 V, and anode curves resemble pentode ones, with higher than in the "left-handed" triode mode impedance.

Anode of the tube is made of a special nickel alloy, specially coated, so it can shortly dissipate more than 100W on anode without destruction. However, such regime causes too high temperature to be used continuously, but instead of destroying the tube like it can be expected in case of so-called "Audio Tubes" like 6L6 and successors, it causes absorption of gases making the vacuum cleaner.

Drew Dudley
Drew Dudley is a Canadian speaker, author and educator as well as the founder and chief catalyst of Day One Leadership, an educational service provider that empowers individuals and organizations to recognize and create leadership every day. As of August 2020, his TED Talk “Everyday Leadership: The Lollipop Moment” has been viewed almost five million times on TED.com and over six-and-a-half million times on the web combined.

His work has been featured by Forbes, Money , Entrepreneur , Radio America, and Business Insider where his TED talk specifically has been listed as one of the speeches that will make you a better human being.

His 2018 hardcover book, This Is Day One: A Practical Guide to Leadership That Matters, was an international best-seller in the United States and Canada having appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times , and The Toronto Star lists and has since been published in trade paperback format.

Career
A graduate of Mount Allison University in New Brunswick, Canada, Dudley started his professional career as the volunteer national chair of one of Canada’s largest youth charities, Shinearama , which mobilizes 35,000 volunteers from 40 post-secondary institutions annually to raise money in support of Cystic Fibrosis Canada.

Concurrently, in 2003, he also began a 7-year stint at the University of Toronto working as first a fundraiser and then managing the leadership development program at the Scarborough campus. His work through the leadership program was recognized numerous times for exceptional contributions to student development outside the classroom. Upon leaving the UofT in 2010 to pursue speaking full-time, a small-group of Scarborough students inspired by his insights on leadership nominated Dudley to speak at the second Toronto TEDx event. It was this talk that went viral as “The Lollipop Moment” and helped him propel him into the public’s eye.

Since then, Dudley founded Nuance Leadership Development Services Inc., a company focused on helping organizations and individuals to build leadership capacity. In 2016, Dudley transitioned the business to be called Day One Leadership to reflect the newfound focus of his work. His clients have included some of the world’s largest companies including McDonald’s, Proctor & Gamble, JP Morgan Chase, and the United Way, as well as hundreds of colleges and universities.

The Lollipop Moment
In his now-famous TED Talk, Dudley challenges traditional perceptions of the use of the term 'leader' by linking it to everyday behaviors that create positive impact for both the individual and those around them. In doing so, he leverages stories from his past—including the sharing of a lollipop to calm the insecurities of a scared first-year student at his alma mater—to demonstrate that leadership is rooted in common, daily actions and is thus something we all can and should aspire towards.

Inspired in part by Sir Ken Robinson’s TED talk on whether schools kill creativity and how our traditional views of the world sometimes limit our capabilities, the talk immediately went viral—first on YouTube and then eventually on TED.com when it was added later. This exposure led to Dudley appearing at further TEDx talks to share insights on his work, and a full-time speaking career that has resulted in him inspiring hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.

This is Day One
In 2018, Hatchette Books published Dudley’s first book This is Day One: A Practical Guide to Leadership That Matters. In addition to being an international best-seller, This is Day One was shortlisted as one of the business books of the year by CEO Reads in the United States and Chapters Indigo in Canada.

In the book, Dudley presents leadership through a behavioral lens by arguing that it is a cyclical journey tied to one’s everyday beliefs and actions. Dudley argues that this journey begins on “Day One,” which then repeats itself everyday based on the individual’s ability to replicate positively impactful behaviors that have been created through a process he calls “operationalizing leadership values.” He describes this process in the book and his talks as identifying, defining and creating questions to evaluate one’s personal values.

To expound the success of his approach, Dudley shares how the process led him through personal battles with alcohol, obesity, and personal loss, and leverages external research to show that an individual’s commitment to their daily behaviors and choices is proven to help make them a better leader and inspire others to do the same.

Day One Direct Leadership Program
To further support audiences in adopting his work, Dudley currently offers Day One Direct, an online and interactive leadership training program that acts as a self-guided tutorial in utilizing the ideas and philosophies from his talks and book. As of Spring 2020, the program has been offered for a reduced rate with all proceeds going to front line healthcare workers fighting against COVID-19.

The Day One Fund
To ensure that finances never stand in the way of audiences being able to benefit from his work, Dudley created The Day One Fund to support organizations with limited financial resources in being able to connect and engage with him. As a result of the onset of COVID-19 pandemic, the Day One Fund has now been expanded to all types of organizations for virtual leadership development services specifically.

WOAH
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dudley wanted to be able to shine a spotlight on individuals who were creating positive impact for themselves and others. He thus launched The Wall of Amazing Humans (WOAH) online. Intended to reinforce his belief that “leadership recognized is leadership created,” The WOAH provides a space for individuals and organizations to recognize the people in their lives who inspire, motivate, and support them each day.

Personal Life
Dudley has been open about how his travel schedule and an undiagnosed bipolar disorder led to binge eating and drinking which fueled his struggles with his weight and personal well-being. His efforts to deal with the adverse effects of mental health, obesity and alcoholism were referenced in part in This is Day One.

Matrix number

A matrix number is an alphanumeric code (and on occasion, other symbols) stamped or handwritten (or a combination of the two) into the run-out groove area of a phonograph record. This is the non-grooved area between the end of the final band on a record's side and the label, also known as the run-off groove area, end-groove area, matrix area, or "dead wax".

Industry usage
A matrix number is intended for the internal use of the record manufacturing plant, but they are also studied and documented by record collectors, as they can sometimes provide useful information about the edition of the record.

There are two parts of the matrix number to be considered: the main number, which is usually printed on the label as well, and extra information which can include a cut or take number. Matrix numbers can refer to any of these elements, or all of them combined. The inscription area may also contain record plant codes or logos, the initials or signature of the disc cutting engineer, and cutting or copyright dates, among other things.

The matrix number printed on the label should not be confused with the catalogue number, which is usually in larger type, and will typically be the same number on both sides of the record. Matrix numbers will be different on each side, and are sometimes printed upside down on the label to prevent them from being mistaken for the catalogue number.

The purpose of the main number is to assign a filing number to the stamper, and to ensure each side receives the proper label, by visually comparing the number on the label to the inscribed number.

The most important part of the extra information is usually the cut number, which is a suffix to the main number. For example, matrix number 12345 is seen on a label, but examination of the run-out groove area reveals number 12345–3, which indicates this is the third cut of this side. It is not unusual to find records with a different cut number on each side.

Sides are recut for various reasons. Record stampers could only be used to make a limited number of copies before they became worn, and a new cut was required. As of the early 1980s, this was no longer true. Changes to master disc manufacturing methods, including the DMM or Direct Metal Mastering system, made it possible to make many copies of a master cut non-destructively, so a recut was no longer necessary when the plate used for pressing became worn. Stampers can also become damaged from handling. Recuts can also be made when there is a problem with the previous cut, for example, a technical fault or improper banding (the visual separation between songs). When a new cut is made, several copies called test pressings are made for technicians (and, for a new record, the producer and the recording artist) to review the cut, and determine if it should be accepted or rejected. If it is rejected, another cut must be made.

More reasons for multiple cuts: If a record is pressed at more than one factory, as can be the case when a popular release is issued by a major record company with factories in more than one city, each factory may make its own master cut. If a record is issued internationally, each country typically cuts its own masters. If a record is re-issued by a different company, or by the same company under a different catalogue number, the record is usually recut, although there are occasions where the previous cut is reused and the new number is added to the inscriptions in the run-out area, sometimes with the previous number scratched out.

Singles
Records with one song per side, particularly 7-inch 45 rpm and 10-inch or 12-inch 78 rpm records, are often found with non-consecutive matrix numbers on each side, and the "hit" side or "side one" may not necessarily be the lower number. This indicates that the numbers were probably assigned at the time the songs were recorded. If there is a significant gap between the two numbers, the songs were probably not recorded at the same session. If the numbers appear to be from completely different sequences, or have a different format or number of digits, this can indicate that the numbers were assigned by the recording studio, and the two sides were recorded at different studios. When record historian Brian Rust researched his discography books on early recordings, he was able to determine the studio and approximate recording date of certain songs from matrix numbers by comparing them to other numbers in the sequence.

78 rpm records
In the days of 78 rpm records, before recording tape was commonly used (up to approx. 1950), audio recordings were cut directly to disc. The recording studio would assign a number to the song to be recorded, which would become the main part of the matrix number, and several takes would be made, with the take number inscribed in the matrix area. Only one take would be selected for issue in most cases, but there are occasions where alternate takes were issued as well, possibly by accident. Frequently, the record label on an alternate take is identical to the label for the more common take, as it only shows the "main" matrix number for the song without the take number.

Alternate takes are of interest to collectors, particularly if the music is jazz. Since jazz is often partially improvised, two takes can contain significant differences, and a comparison of two takes can reveal which portions of the music were pre-determined, and which were improvised or variable. Also, when two takes are released, one is usually much more common than the other, and the less common take can become a valuable record to collectors.

Take numbers on Victor Records can usually be found to the left at the label, i.e. the "9 o'clock" position.

When looking for matrix information on 78 rpm records, care should be taken to examine the label area as well, as some numbers may be coded underneath the label, and are viewable as indentations.

Albums
Album matrix numbers are often similar to the catalogue number. For example, a record numbered X-1234 may have a matrix number like A–1234 or X–1234–A on side one, and B–1234 or X–1234–B on side two, as shown on the label. In the run-out area, the latter number could be expressed as X–1234–B7, where 7 is the cut number. In other instances, the matrix numbers may be a separate series of two consecutive numbers such as 55667 and 55668.

Compact discs
Compact discs (CDs) also contain factory codes inscribed near the hub, and these are also called matrix numbers.

Importance to collectors
Matrix numbers are often quoted as evidence that a record is a "first pressing", although this term is not used in a consistent manner by collectors. Records can be pressed in multiple batches that are identical, and therefore a group of batches must be regarded as one "pressing". Collectors sometimes refer to a "second pressing" when a major change takes place, such as a change to the selection or order of songs on an album side, or a not-so-major change such as a different record label design, or correction of a typo on the label text, or minor variation of the cover, such as a change of address for the record company. Or they may refer to a record as a "second pressing" if the cut number changes, but the label, cover, and musical content are otherwise identical. A first cut could be a rejected cut, and a cut #2 or later could actually be the one used for the first pressing as issued to the public. Even so, collectible records are often questionably identified as "first pressing" based solely on the matrix number marked as cut #1.

If a record is recut for re-issue with a new catalogue number, the cut number will probably start at #1 again. Therefore, a matrix number in itself is not proof of an original pressing, and additional research should be done before declaring a record to be a first pressing.

A greater importance to collectors is where a recut contains an audible difference from previous cuts. Some recuts contain a different take, mix, or edit (length of song) from previous editions. Some recuts are made to re-issue a song with different lyrics as an act of censorship. Even if a censored record is only distributed to radio stations as a promo edition, there could be two versions of the promo: censored and uncensored. Some recuts with altered content have a suffix of "-RE" at the end of the inscribed matrix number, but this does not necessarily mean that the non-"RE" edition was issued to the public.

In cases where a popular release is issued by a major label that uses more than one factory, so that copies are manufactured in several cities, a factory code in the form of a number, acronym, symbol, or logo found in the run-out area may have importance. These are sometimes quoted when collectible records are offered for sale. Factory codes used by major American labels such as Capitol, Warner Bros., RCA and Mercury have been documented by researchers.

Hidden messages
Record collectors have often been amused to find hidden messages inscribed in the run-out area. The vast majority of these are the work of George Peckham, a disc cutting engineer in the UK who possibly cut hundreds of thousands of records for many record companies over several decades from the 1960s onward, and often signed his cuts "Porky" or marked them as "A Porky Prime Cut". While some of his cuts state only his nickname or motto, others contain a clever or cryptic reference to something mentioned in the lyrics, or something about the recording artist. Some of his inscriptions include a small drawing or cartoon. Most of his cuts can be found on records manufactured in the UK, but his use of messages has been imitated by others, and similar messages can be found in records from various countries. They can even be found on compact discs on occasion.

On the original UK edition of This Year's Model (1978), the second album by Elvis Costello, Peckham inscribed a message stating that this is the winning copy of a contest, and anyone finding this message should call the phone number which follows to claim their prize. The prize was a pre-printed signature photo of Elvis Costello which was sent out in limited numbers.

U2's Rattle and Hum (1988) features a secret message to the band's production manager, Anne Louise Kelly, reading "We Love You A.L.K.", but this was the first of several hidden messages referring to her in U2 albums, followed by her name being scrambled to make the name Kiley Sue LaLonne in the booklet of Original Soundtracks 1 (1995) and then on most CD copies of Pop (1997), a message on the playing side of the CD near the matrix numbers reads "4UALKXXXX".

Although hidden messages are usually the invention of the disc cutting engineer, there is an instance where a message is believed to have been inserted at the request of the recording artist, on Led Zeppelin's single, "Immigrant Song", which contains this message on copies made in more than one country: "Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The Law". Not all copies contain this inscription, and copies that do have a higher collector's value.

On Emitt Rhodes' self-titled album, an ornate design surround a "Recorded at Home" inscription, as Rhodes recorded the entire album by himself and at his home.

 * It's disappointing to see that the Legacy section no longer exists. In Bill Lee's autobiography "The Wrong Stuff" he talks a bit about Eckersley using "cheese" as a word to describe pitches; Eckersley called himself the "Cheese Master." The word "cheese" is now commonly used in the lexicon of baseball pitchers and that is part of his legacy. Wastrel Way (talk) 02:23, 26 August 2019 (UTC) Eric

It is called Psaphara by Ptolemy probably in order to distinguish it from Antigonia in Paeonia.

The site of Antigonia Psaphara is about 3 miles (5 km) north of Nea Kallikrateia.

Rosemary Wells

Rosemary Wells (born January 29, 1943) is an American writer and illustrator of children's books. She often uses animal characters to address real human issues. Some of her most well-known characters are Max & Ruby and Timothy from Timothy Goes To School (both were later adapted into Canadian-animated preschool television series, the former airing on Nickelodeon (part of the Nick Jr. block) and the latter as part of PBS Kids on PBS.

Background & Career
Wells was born in New York City and raised in Red Bank, New Jersey. Her mother was a ballerina with the Ballet Russe de Monte-Carlo and her father was a playwright. She began drawing at age two. Wells' family encouraged her artistic talents and love of stories. "Reading stories aloud was as much a part of my childhood as the air I breathed," she recalled.

When Wells was nineteen, she attended the Boston Museum School, where she studied illustration. Before becoming an author and illustrator, Wells worked as an art editor for Allyn and Bacon, Inc and as an art designer for Macmillan Publishing.

In 1963, she married architect Thomas Moore Wells, with whom she has two daughters.

In 1968, Wells published her first book, an illustrated version of Gilbert and Sullivan’s A Song to Sing, O!. She has since published more than 60 books in her 30+ year career.

A common theme in Rosemary Wells' stories is the use of animal characters rather than humans. In the children's journal Stone Soup, Wells explained that she writes using animals because it allows her to address sophisticated, controversial topics in ways children can understand and adults can accept. For example, Yoko tackles the thorny topic of racism. It is about a young Japanese kitten who, in the beginning, is ostracized when she brings in sushi for her school lunch. At the story's conclusion, she gains acceptance by hosting a school luncheon where everyone brings in food native to their family from around the world. Many of the animal characters, such as those in Max & Ruby, interact with one another much as humans would, while others such as McDuff – a West Highland Terrier – take on a more realistic role as the adopted pet of a young couple.

 * Keep - per recently concluded AfD nomination. 'Notability is not inherited', doesn't apply here and WP doesn't say anything about reverse inheritance. Almost every headline on Alphabet Inc. carries Google's name yet we have that article. Sources were already provided in previous AfD. - Mfarazbaig (talk) 09:11, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Procedural keep and comment Umm, I am not sure what the purpose of this AfD is? It appears frivolous, knowing the prior nomination which was open to discussion for a reasonable period, and was closed only days before the 2nd. In any case, WP:DRV hasn't been correctly followed which outlines the process, so I'm going to have to conclude with a procedural keep.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 13:05, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
