Yorkshire Television has made successful programmes such as Emmerdale, Heartbeat, The Beiderbecke Trilogy, Rising Damp, Harry's Game, The Darling Buds of May, Only When I Laugh and Duty Free.
Yorkshire Television also produces the Calander news programme.
For almost 35 years, Yorkshire Television's on-screen identity always revolved around the use of the station logo: the chevron.
This yellow symbol was seen on nearly all of Yorkshire Television's idents and presentation.
The first symbol used was a black and white chevron, formed by slit-scan techniques and accompanied by an orchestral version of the tune "On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at", a famous Yorkshire folk song.
This music was later to become the station's jingle.
This ident continued until Yorkshire Television officially commenced their colour broadcasts in November 1969.
The new colour ident featured the yellow chevron on a black background with the still caption card "Yorkshire Television Colour Production", along with a simplified version of "On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at".
This ident was modified in 1981, so that the caption "Colour Production" was changed to "In Colour", and in 1982 the colour caption was removed altogether.
The new version of the jingle was at a lower pitch than was previously composed.
Supplementing the ident throughout this period were idents promoting the station's coverage, with the slogan "Serving Six Million Viewers".
One version, in 1983 featured a giant chevron logo, made up out of smaller chevrons, and another in 1986 featured the view zooming in from space, to the Yorkshire TV region, which then flipped over, becoming the chevron.
This last version was computer animated, with 3D-style lettering and chevron.
On 5 January 1987, Yorkshire Television introduced a new ident, entitled "Liquid Gold", featuring a pool of liquified gold, with the chevron rising up from it, and rotating into the sky, where the station name joins it.
This ident features a fully orchestrated version of the theme tune and reportedly cost £40,000 to make.
This was occasionally supplemented by a large rotating chevron over a gradient-ed blue background, used over continuity.
On 1 September 1989, Yorkshire Television adopted the first ITV generic look, featuring the large ITV logo, addition ident was also used where a static chevron on the same background as the main ident.
On 7 January 1991, the ident was revised to allow the Chevron to appear full screen instead of being a segment of the 'V' which the company used until 23 October 1994.
The whole package was used by Yorkshire Television, and an adapted version, where the whole chevron appeared in the V segment before moving into centre screen, was used before regional programming.
Upon YTV dropping the generic look on 24 October 1994, a new ident was introduced, featuring a textured background with a central strip containing images of the region itself, with the chevron placed in the centre of said strip.
The most noticeable thing about this ident set was the smooth nature of the chevron's appearance and, like the previous look, did not feature the "On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at" jingle, instead favouring a smooth orchestral jingle.
The background was later changed from a cream to a light blue, and variations on the theme for special occasions and yearly themes were also introduced.
Yorkshire-Tyne Tees Television adopted a new branding package, based on the concept of Channel 3.
The new look was fully implemented in the Tyne Tees region on 2 September 1996, where all on-screen branding was replaced by giant numeral '3', and the Tyne Tees brand became secondary to 'Channel 3 North East, however the look was only partially implemented in the Yorkshire region a month after Tyne Tees's revamp.
The entirety of Yorkshire's Channel 3 look included an ident which was later introduced on 4 November 1996 at the same year, where the chevron span against a light blue background with numeral '3's covering the background.
Another ident featured the chevron with the '3' numeral embossed on the side, which would zoom into view, before revealing a spinning numeral 3, which in turn had YTV chevron on the middle of the 3 and when zoomed into, the chevron re-appeared spinning against the background.
The look also heralded the return of the "On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at" tune, which was now noticeably higher in pitch.
The Channel 3 look was dropped on 9 March 1998, following Granada's acquisition of Yorkshire-Tyne Tees Television, with the look returning to a spinning chevron against a misty blue background, light blue during the day and dark blue in the evenings.
On 8 November 1999, Yorkshire Television adopted the second generic look, based on the theme of hearts, which was used for the entirety of the branding period before network programming.
However, for local programming, Yorkshire created their own ident featuring a background of spinning chevrons, with pictures of the region featuring inside a central box.
On 28 October 2002, the brand was dropped in favour of a national ITV1 identity, in which local regional identities were dropped except before local programming, when the Yorkshire name appeared below the ITV1 logo only.
These regional idents however were dropped by 2006.

The Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), commonly called the Shanghai ranking, is a list of the world's best universities made by Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
The rankings have been made since 2003 and they are updated each year.
As of 2012, Harvard University remains top.
The ranking is used by the Chinese to compare other colleges and universities to their own universities.
The ranking uses a special formula to determine how to rank universities.
It uses such things as how many Nobel Prizes university people have won and how many papers university scientists have published in the journals Science and Nature.
Over 1,200 universities are ranked.
College and university rankings are lists of universities and colleges in an order made by any number of factors.
Rankings can be based on "quality," or on some combination of data or numbers.

Sojourner Truth (about 1797 – November 26, 1883) was one of the first abolitionists and activists for women's rights.
She was born as a slave, but escaped from slavery in 1826.
She was born Isabella Baumfree, but renamed herself to 'Sojourner Truth' when she was 46 and announced she would travel to work against injustice.
The name Sojourner Truth translates as itinerant preacher.
She is one of the most widely known African American women of the 19th century.
Her freedom was linked with the passage of a New York State Law in 1799 that began the process of gradual emancipation.
She lectured widely on the cruelties she had experienced as a slave.
She is best known for her "Ain't I a Woman?"
speech, given at the Woman's Rights Convention of 1851.
She also gave out speeches about abolishing slavery.
Also, she became active in the Underground Railroad, helping blacks escape to freedom.
She could only speak Dutch and at a young age soon learnt English.
Sadly, she was beaten for not understanding the commands of her owners John and Sally Dumont.
There is evidence that John beat her and Sally sexually abused her.
Isabella Baumfree (Sojourner Truth) was born into slavery around 1797 in Swarterkill, New York.
Sojourner was the daughter of James Baumfree and Elizabeth Baumfree.
Her family’s slave owner was Colonel Hardenbergh.
Sojourner was born a slave and did not know how to read or write because nobody taught slaves how to.
Out of 13 children, she was the youngest.
In the first three decades of her life she was the property of five owners.
It is  In 1815 she dated fellow slave Thomas.
Together they had 3 children.
Her family was separated in 1806.
In 1826 Isabella escaped to freedom with her infant daughter.
Sojourner changed her name in 1843 from Isabella Baumfree to Sojourner Truth.
She married and bore five children although only four of their names are known.
She never learned to read or write and depended on others to take down her words while handling her correspondences.
Sojourner was the first African American to win a trial against a white man.
This trial was about getting her son Peter back.
This was a great accomplishment for African Americans.
During the Civil War Belle told the people about the Woman's Right to vote and became friends with some other people, which one of them threaten that she would not support the issue.
She campaigned for Republican Ulysses S. Grant.
She was one of the prominent Americans that attempted to vote in the 1872 election but was refused the right to.
She went on to support herself by selling copies of her book, “The Narrative of Sojourner Truth “.
During that time, she was a Battle Creek resident and property owner.
She spent the last few years of her life and died in Battle Creek, Michigan on November 26, 1883.

Instant runoff voting is a method of electing one political candidate to office from a list of more than two, but it can also be used for other group decisions.
Voters rank the candidates from favorite to least favorite, with only their top choices being counted each time.
Ballots are counted, and a series of simulated rounds is conducted.
If no candidate has a majority of the votes in any round, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated, and those voters' next choice votes are then counted.
This is repeated until a candidate has a majority.
Instant runoff voting has been used in Australia's lower house for more than 80 years.
That house is strongly dominated by two parties.
It has also been used to elect mayors in some cities in the United States.
Voter turn out is typically the same as with plurality voting.
Proponents believe instant runoff voting allows them to vote for their first choice candidate and still help the lessor of evils if the first choice is eliminated.
They believe Instant Runoff Voting to be the only way let voters vote their true intentions and undermine the two-party system.
By having more candidates on the ballot, incumbents are more likely to be kicked out of office.
Opponents argue that if at least three candidates have a chance of winning, voting for one's favorite could cause a compromise candidate to lose in the first round.
Their favorite might then lose against the least preferred candidate in the second round.
Voters' votes cannot be transferred to their second choice if their second choice is eliminated before their first choice is.
Voters often use their first choice vote for a compromise vote, the same as with plurality.
While theoretically simple, instant runoff voting often requires computers because the rankings on each ballot matter for determining the elimination order and can not be counted in aggregate.
Opponents of Instant runoff voting often oppose computer counting of ballots, since it is difficult for ordinary citizens to count the ballots by hand and catch any fraud.
The fact that a candidate has fewer votes does not mean the candidate is less popular but that the candidate was squeezed out on both sides of the political spectrum.
Instant runoff voting can eliminate centrists in the last elimination.
The Harrier Jump Jet, usually called the Harrier, is a British-designed military aeroplane.
It was designed during the 1960s.
The Harrier is well known as it can take off vertically.
It can do this by changing the direction of thrust from its engines.
It is sometimes called V/STOL, which means "Vertical/Short Takeoff and Landing".
It can carry heavier loads with a short takeoff than with a vertical one.
In 1967, the Bristol Engine Company proposed the radical idea of a directed thrust engine.
Next, Hawker Aircraft designed an aeroplane that could meet the NATO specification for a "light tactical support fighter".
There was no financial support for the development from HM Treasury, but support was found from NATO.
A prototype flew in 1960.
Various changes were made and several preliminary versions flew including the "Kestrel" and the first Harriers flew for the RAF and Royal Navy in 1969.
The planes were built in both Britain and the United States.
They were redeveloped and manufactured by British Aerospace and Macdonald Douglas, companies which are now owned by BAE Systems and Boeing, respectively.
At present the Boeing/BAE Systems AV-8B Harrier II is used by NATO countries such as the United States, Spain and Italy.
A modified version, the BAE Systems/Boeing Harrier II is used by the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy.
Between 1969 and 2003, 824 Harrier variants were delivered.
Manufacture of new Harriers ended in 1997.
The last remanufactured aircraft (Harrier II Plus configuration) was delivered in December 2003.
This ended the Harrier production line.
The Harrier is used by many military forces.
The United States Marine Corps and the Royal Air Force (RAF) use versions which are specially designed for taking off and landing on aircraft carriers.
Other countries which use the Harrier include Thailand and India.
In 2006, the RAF introduced a new version of the Harrier, the GR/9.
This is an updated version of the previous version, the GR/7.
It has a top speed of 574 knots.
The Harrier was used a lot during the Falklands War.
Harriers flew a total of 1,561 sorties, shot down 20 enemy planes (+ 3 probables) with 10 Harriers lost.
Of the ten lost, six were shot down; the others were damaged in accidents on the carrier.
The Sea Harriers made the Argentine Air Force much less effective than they hoped to be.
The Harrier can carry different equipment for each mission.
It can carry missiles and bombs.
It can also carry cameras to take pictures of the ground.

It also needed to carry a lot of bombs.
The prototype Vulcan flew in 1948.
It crashed in 1949, but development carried on.
Over 100 aircraft were built between 1956 and 1965.
The crew of the Vulcan was made up of five people – two pilots, two navigators and one electronics officer.
The Vulcan was originally used as part of the United Kingdom's nuclear deterrent.
It carried the United Kingdom's first nuclear weapon, called Blue Danube.
The Vulcan was also used sometimes for reconnaissance.
It was retired from the Royal Air Force in 1984.

Barthold Fles was born in Amsterdam on February 7, 1902.
His family was Jewish but did not keep Jewish laws.
His father, Louis Fles, thought that it was wrong for Jews and other people to be religious.
Louis Fles imported typewriters and sold them, in addition to other office products, in several stores that he owned and to other stores.
Barthold was his oldest son so his father wanted him to help him at work.
Barthold did not want to work for his father.
He only wanted to read.
Barthold read in Dutch, German, English, and French.
He read a lot and very fast.
Barthold found a job at De Lange publishers.
In 1923 he left for the United States.
In New York Fles first worked as a violinist, painting apartments, selling vacuum cleaners and for publishers.
In 1933 he started his own business, a literary agency, in Manhattan, New York.
As a literary agent he mostly helped writers find publishers.
He also sold stories for films or magazines and would find a writer to make a book that a publisher wanted.
When Barthold started working as a literary agent, many of his clients were people who left Germany for the United States because of the Nazism in Germany.
He held meetings for these writers in New York so that they could learn about publishing books and stories in the United States.
Later, however, most of the writers he worked with were born in the United States.
In 1936 Barthold married Ruth Grünwald, a dancer at the Metropolitan Opera who had been just one year in the United States.
Ruth helped Barthold with his work.
Later she left him.
Although he had no children of his own, Barthold Fles wrote two books for kids: Slavonic rhapsody: the life of Antonín Dvořák (in 1948) and East Germany (in 1973).
He also wrote many articles and introductions to story collections.
He translated three books from German to English.
One of these books, Bambi's Children by Felix Salten, was also a book for children.
In 1986, when he was 84 years old, Fles stopped working.
He went back to the Netherlands, and lived three years in a home for retired artists.
He died on December 19, 1989 at the age of 87.

When talking about file systems, a folder (also called directory, or catalog) is a way to organize computer files.
A folder is a storage space, or container, where many files can be placed into groups and organize the computer.
A folder can also contain other folders.
For many computer software applications, there is a current working directory.
This is the folder that the application runs in.
In Unix and Linux, a directory is a special type of file.
Folders can be put together to make a filesystem and are laid out like a tree.
The folders inside folders are like branches and sub-branches off the tree trunk.
This idea is used by the software to allow the user to navigate the folders.
A computer file, such as a spreadsheet or music file can only be in one folder directly.
This folder, however, can be inside other folders.
On some operating systems, shortcuts or links can be made from one folder to another to make it appear that one file or folder is contained in two different parent folders.
On Unix systems, this is called a symbolic link, and is similar in function to a hyperlink.
An icon, when talked about in computing, is a picture which usually stands for a computer program, computer file,  folder, or an action for a program to do.
Icons are usually small pictures, but not always.
Sometimes the user can change what size an icon is.
Icons are used in many places on a computer.
The desktop contains icons as shortcuts - clicking on these icons opens up the file, folder, or application that they stand for.
For example, in Microsoft Windows the desktop will often have an icon for the Recycle Bin, and the icon usually looks like a trash can in the dextstop.
Shortcut icons also show up in other places such as folders and the start menu.
These icons work the same as on the desktop.
Many computer programs use icons on buttons.
When the user clicks on the button, something happens.
For example, a button with an icon of a printer will usually help the user print what is currently open.
While a button with a magnifying glass will let the user search for something.
Portulacaceae is a family of flowering plants, comprising about 20 genera with about 500 species, ranging from herbaceous plants to shrubs.
Peter Grimes is an opera by Benjamin Britten.
It was first performed in 1945.
It is generally thought to be the most important British opera of the 20th century.
It is about a community in a small fishing village in the east of England in the 1820s.
Peter Grimes is a fisherman who feels that the people do not want to have anything to do with him.
He wants to make lots of money so that he can marry and get people’s respect.
In his obsession with catching as much fish as possible he is cruel to the boys who help him (his apprentices), and they die.
At the end of the opera Grimes drowns himself.
There are three acts, and the opera starts with a prologue and ends with an epilogue.
Some of the scenes are joined by continuous music, and some of this is often played separately in concerts.
This music is known as the Four Sea Interludes.
When World War II started Britten and Pears went to America to avoid the war.
In 1941 Britten started to feel homesick because he read an article by E.M.Forster about George Crabbe, a poet who had lived in the same part of England that Britten came from.
Britten started to realize that, in order to compose well, he had to go back to his own country.
Britten and Pears returned to England in 1942.
The conductor Sergei Koussevitzky asked Britten to write an opera based on a poem by George Crabbe.
The poem, called “The Borough”, was about the story of Peter Grimes.
The village in the poem was fictitious, but it was very much like Aldeburgh where Britten later made his home.
Britten asked Montagu Slater to write the libretto based on the story of  Crabbe’s poem.
The opera was first performed at Sadler's Wells Theatre in London on 7 June 1945 by the company which later became English National Opera.
The conductor was Reginald Goodall.
Pears sang the title role.
The first American performance was in 1946 at Tanglewood conducted by Koussevitzky's pupil, Leonard Bernstein.
Britten dedicated it to Koussevitsky’s wife.
The first young boy who was an apprentice to Peter Grimes has already been killed.
He was at sea for three days without water to drink.
An inquest is being held to decide whether Grimes is guilty of the boy’s death.
The people all seem to think he is guilty.
The judge decides that the boy’s death was an accident.
However, he says to Grimes that he should not get another apprentice.
Grimes is very angry at being told this.
Ellen Orford, a school teacher, comforts him.
In their beautiful duet Ellen and Peter sing at first in different keys, but finally sing together in the same key.
The scenery shows the Moot Hall, the Boar Inn (the village pub) and the church.
People are saying “Good morning” to one another, especially the Slave Master who says it many times.
The fishermen start work mending their nets.
Keene tells Grimes that he has found another apprentice for him.
He is a poor boy who lives in the workhouse.
Nobody wants Grimes to have another apprentice.
Hobson, the cart man, refuses to fetch him.
But Ellen supports Peter.
She sings to the crowd: “Let her among you without fault cast the first stone” (meaning: “You all have faults so do not criticize”).
Hobson goes off to get the boy.
A terrible storm is coming.
The scene now changes to The Boar Inn.
It is very noisy inside.
Bob Boles gets drunk and wants to make love to the landlady’s nieces.
The storm is still raging outside.
Grimes comes in.
People are shocked, but Grimes does not notice.
He sings and song about human fate: “Now the Great Bear and Pleiades”.
The tune is in the orchestra in canon while Grimes sings very simple lines of music.
People are embarrassed, so they start to sing a round: “Old Joe has gone fishing”.
It has three tunes and has seven counts in a bar.
The boy is brought in and Grimes takes him off in spite of the storm.
The opening of the next act is peaceful.
It is Sunday morning.
People are in church, and now again we hear the singing coming from the church.
Ellen talks to the boy.
She is horrified to see he has a bruise on his neck.
Grimes says it was an accident.
He gets annoyed that Ellen is worried about the boy and runs off with him.
The people of the village have noticed and march up to Grimes’s hut.
The scene ends with a peaceful contrast: a duet sung by the two nieces.
The orchestra play a beautiful passacaglia which links to the next scene.
Grimes is accusing the boy of “telling stories”.
Then he starts to feels guilty about the first boy’s death.
He hears the villagers coming and tells the boy they have to go fishing.
He pushes him out onto the rocks and the boy falls to his death.
When the villagers arrive at the hut they find it empty.
Act 3 opens with music describing moonlight at night.
People are dancing in the Moot Hall.
People are very merry.
Mrs. Sedley tries to tell people that Grimes is a murderer, but they do not listen.
People then start to leave, saying “Goodnight” to one another (especially the Rector).
Balstrode is walking with Ellen.
He tells her that Grimes’s boat is in, but Grimes cannot be found.
A boy’s jersey has been washed up on the shore.
Ellen sings an aria “Embroidery in childhood was a luxury of idleness”.
It is a moment of stillness in the drama.
A short interlude based on one chord leads to the next scene in which people are looking for Grimes.
Grimes drags himself onto the shore.
He seems to have gone mad.
We hear a foghorn (played by an off-stage tuba) as he sings.
Balstrode tells Grimes that he should go out to sea in his boat and sink it.
The opera ends with an epilogue in which the scene is the same as the beginning of the opera.
Someone says that a boat has been seen sinking out to sea, but no one is interested.
The people have forgotten Grimes, and continue their lives without him.
