Talk:Operation Emery

Comment the first
Needs to be cleaned up & filled in with data from and. No references for bizarre "July 1965" information here or 1965 category. This note is mostly a reminder to myself to do this when I have time, but if someone else gets to it first that's fine with me. Chuck 19:21, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

The table on this page is generated by database
The table on this page and the contents of any nuclear tests infobox are generated from a database of nuclear testing which I have maintained and researched for a number of years. The table is automatically generated from that database by a Visual Basic script, and then has, periodically, been inserted into the page manually. I began doing this in October of 2013.

Recently a user complained (politely) to me about the practice. It seems to him that it removes control from all editors besides myself over the content. He believes it is tantamount to WP:OWNED of the pages affected. He also points out that there is no public mention of the fact anywhere on wikipedia, and that is true, through my own oversight, until now.

There was no intent that the pages affected should be owned by myself; in fact, one of my reasons for building these pages was to solicit (in the wikipedia way) criticism and corrections to the data, perhaps additional references that I had been unable to locate. I have regenerated the tables twice in the days since they were originally placed. Each time I did so, I performed a diff between the current version and the version that I put up in the previous cycle; all corrections were then either entered into the database or corrected in the programming, as appropriate. As may be guessed, the programming corrections were frequent to start out as suggestions about the table formatting were raised, and most incorporated. I have not made judgements on the "usefulness" of corrections; all have been incorporated, or I have communicated directly with the editor to settle the matter. In fact it was in pursuing such a correction that this matter came up.

I am posting this comment on the Talk page of every page containing content which is so generated. If you would like to comment on this matter, please go to the copy on Talk:List of nuclear tests so the discussion can be kept together. I will also be placing a maintained template on each Talk page (if anyone would like also to be named as a maintainer on one or all pages, you are welcome). I solicit all comments and suggestions.

Introduction to Media Studies/Genre

Genre is currently a contentious Key Concept. Traditionally Media Theorists have studied the way different Media texts fall into different categories (or Genres) such as Horror, Soap Opera or Broadsheet Newspaper.

However as media producers blur the boundaries between different genre the study of the concept itself becomes more problematic. At an introductory level it is still useful to look at the Generic Conventions of a text to see how it fits into the media world.

Organic Chemistry/Foundational concepts of organic chemistry/Atomic structure/Molecular orbitals

In organic chemistry we look at the hybridization of electron orbitals in to something called molecular orbitals.

The s and p orbitals in a carbon atom combine into four hybridized orbitals that repel each other in a shape much like that of four balloons tied together.

Remember what a tetrahedron looks like ?

Talk:David Thompson (basketball)

Mistaken hyperlink
At the bottom of this page, there is a hyperlink to Richard Washington. The Richard Washington linked to is NOT the standout U.C.L.A. basketball player who won the award in 1975, but another person of the same name whose prominence is in a completely unrelated field and who was only 10 years old when the basketball Richard Washington won his award. How does one remove such a hyperlink?

When you go, you could put a | in, in such a way that you might have, I dunno, Andrew Thompson. The only problem is, there isn't an article for that Richard Washington or there would be a disambiguation page for it.

Skywalker
This nickname should not be used when discussing David's college career, as it only arose after he turned pro. In college he was usually known as "DT" Ron

1983 24 Hours of Le Mans

The 1983 24 Hours of Le Mans was a motor race staged at the Circuit de la Sarthe, Le Mans, France on 18 and 19 June 1983. It was the 51st Grand Prix of Endurance and was also the fourth round of both the 1983 World Endurance Championship and the 1983 European Endurance Championship. The 1983 race was held eight days before the 60th anniversary of the inaugural race held in 1923.

The Porsche 956 was the dominant car in the Championship series, as the company had released cars for customer sale. Although Lancia were quick in practice they were too unreliable in the race. From the start, the works Porsche team took the lead. As rival marques fell away with engine issues, the Porsches consolidated the top-ten. The Kremer car of Mario Andretti led the pursuit, running 2nd for a time on Sunday morning. The Ickx/Bell car had been delayed early in the race, but hard driving had got them back to the top-three. They briefly took the lead soon after dawn but Bell stopped at Mulsanne and lost five laps repairing an electrical fault.

With less than ninety minutes to go, the third works Porsche looked set for victory, after taking the lead in the fifth hour. However, when a door blew off the car Schuppan saw his temperature gauges spike. Al Holbert took the car out for the final stint at a careful pace, with Bell closing in relentlessly, although he was suffering from damaged front brakes. With half an hour to go, Bell unlapped himself to put himself on the lead lap. With two minutes to go, Holbert's engine seized as he passed the pits, having run out of water and overheated. However, by good fortune he was able to get it going again. He made it around one last time, to the finish line, and pulled off straight away. Bell came home just over a minute later running on his reserve fuel-tank. Neither car would likely have done another lap, which would have potentially given the victory to the Kremer Porsche that finished third, six laps back.

The crushing victory by Porsche saw nine of their cars in the top-10, also winning the Index Prize and the win in Group B. The works Mazda had a trouble-free run for a comfortable win in the new Group C Junior class.

Regulations
This year was the second year of the Group C regulations and there were no changes made. The formula had an open engine capacity, and instead had weight and fuel consumption restrictions. There was a minimum weight of 800 kg put in for safety standards and fuel tanks were a maximum of 100 litres capacity. With no more than 25 fuel stops allowed in the race, it meant a maximum of 2600 litres from the start. With IMSA still using their own sliding weight-scale to balance engine capacity, the major American endurance races, at Daytona and Sebring, could not be part of the World Championship.

This formula attracted great interest from a number of manufacturers and the major privateer teams. However, the prospective costs were prohibitive for smaller teams wanting to compete in the top tier of racing. The FIA governing body took notice of this, and instigated a less expensive division called Group C Junior to encourage those teams. Here the minimum weight was reduced to 700 kg and the fuel-tanks were only 55 litres capacity. With the same 25 fuel stops, this gave those cars a maximum of 1430 litres.

For its part, the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO) made no major changes either. The two 4-hour practice sessions now each included a 1-hour break to allow teams to retrieve stranded cars or make significant repairs or change their car set-ups. With the surge of entries in the new regulations, they could close the lists without needing the MSA classes and the former "grandfathered" classes.

Entries
The new regulations had immediately proven successful and this year's Le Mans had an extensive range of entries. It was led by factory teams from Porsche, Lancia and Mazda and over a dozen specialist constructors meant there were 34 cars that could be classed as "works" entries. Porsche dominated the entry list with eleven Group C and eight Group B entries.

 * Note: The first number is the number of arrivals, the second the number who started.

Group C
The Porsche 956 had made a victorious impact on its 1982 debut. The 1983 iteration was 20 kg lighter and had improved front suspension and the new Bosch Motronic engine-management system to modulate and tune the engine performance. Three race-cars and a test-car were entered by the works team. The lead drivers were the elite pairing of Jacky Ickx and Derek Bell, looking for a hat-trick of victories. Jochen Mass was in the second car, paired with the new wunderkind, Stefan Bellof who had just stunned the endurance world a fortnight earlier with a blistering qualifying lap-record at the Nürburgring in its last year of full competitive use. In the third car was the American pair of Hurley Haywood and Al Holbert along with Australian Vern Schuppan. As Porsche promised, they released twelve chassis for customer sale. Based on the 1982 chassis, with Bosch mechanical control, they were quickly snapped up, albeit at a hefty £160,000 (DM640,000) each. Eight of those cars were at Le Mans. Reinhold Joest had bought two, and had a surprise victory over the works team at the opening round at Monza. Winner in Italy, Bob Wollek, was paired with former Le Mans winner Klaus Ludwig and debutante Stefan Johansson, with the second car driven by Merl/Schickentanz/de Narvaez. Wollek had just come out of hospital after an operation for a pinched nerve on his vertebrae. The team also fielded their 936CJ special from the previous year, once again driven by its owners, the Belgian Martin brothers. Another Porsche stalwart, John Fitzpatrick also bought two cars. Fitzpatrick entered himself as a driver in both cars – the first with Dieter Quester/David Hobbs and the other with Guy Edwards/Rupert Keegan. JFR also supported American Preston Henn's 956, entered from the IMSA series. Henn had Jean-Louis Schlesser and GT-veteran Claude Ballot-Léna as his co-drivers.

The Kremer brothers had achieved Le Mans glory in 1979 and established a successful range of modified Porsche 935 specials for customer sale. Their 956 was driven by father and son pair Mario and Michael Andretti, with F2 driver Philippe Alliot. The Andrettis had been thwarted by officialdom the previous year, disqualified on the start-line. And like Joest, the Kremers also had two of their 936 specials (the C-K5) in the race. Their team-car was driven by Derek Warwick/Frank Jelinski/Patrick Gaillard. The original model (that had run in 1982) had been sold to Richard Cleare, who had won the GT class in the same race. He teamed up with his same driver line-up (Tony Dron/Richard Jones) for this event. The final two 956 customer cars were entered by Richard Lloyd's GTi Engineeing and Obermeier Racing. Lloyd had also graduated from running GT Porsches, with his Canon sponsorship. He was joined by up-and-coming young drivers Jonathon Palmer and Jan Lammers. German Jürgen Lässig had now formed his own team, along with Hans Obermeier and sponsorship from Hugo Boss fashion. His regular co-driver in the WEC was Axel Plankenhorn and for this race they were joined by female single-seat racer, South African Desiré Wilson.

It was apparent in the shorter endurance races that the primary opposition to Porsche's dominance would come from Lancia. After working the rules the previous year with their LC1, the company produced their Group C candidate. Designed by GianPaolo Dallara, it was built around the Ferrari 2.6-litre V8 used in its 308 GTB road-car. Fitted with twin KKK (Kühnle, Kopp & Kausch) turbos and a Weber-Marelli engine-management system, the engine could put out 650 bhp on 1.2-bar boost. The LC2 had a Kevlar and carbonfibre bodyshell designed by Pininfarina and was fast, but had proven fragile. Three cars were brought to Le Mans, once again built around their Grand Prix drivers: Michele Alboreto/Teo Fabi, Piercarlo Ghinzani/Hans Heyer (on loan from Joest) and Alessandro Nannini/Paolo Barilla/Jean-Claude Andruet. In the early-season they had been shod with Pirelli tyres, but after proving troublesome they were swapped out for Dunlops. The Sivama team had raced Group 5 Lancia Montecarlos in the Championship the previous year. This season they bought three of the Group 6 Lancia LC1 chassis and set about bringing them up to Group C spec with new bodies and the turbo-engine enlarged to 1522cc. With no great difference in weight, the small engine could only get them up to 280 kp/h (175 mph). One was written off in an accident at Silverstone, but the other two arrived at Le Mans, led by current F3 champion Oscar Larrauri.

Ford had cancelled development of its under-performing C100 program in favour of a new Group C design. However, within a week of Karl Ludvigsen leaving as Ford-Europe VP, that program was also cancelled, as was improvement to the problematic Cosworth DFL engine. Irish gentleman-racer Martin Birrane wanted to move into Group C and bought one of the C100 cars that raced the previous year for his new Peer Racing team. In the absence of their parent company, the consortium of Ford France dealers put their support behind the Cosworth-powered Rondeau team. The M482 "ground-effects" project had had considerable development over the winter and the consortium purchased the three chassis. Max Sardou, who had done extensive aerodynamic work on his Ardex, the Lola T600 and March-BMW M1/C, was bought in to fine-tune the car aerodynamics. The team was managed by Pierre Dieudonné and a number of Jean Rondeau's team were brought in. Three-time winner Henri Pescarolo raced with Thierry Boutsen, newly promoted to F1 with Arrows. Jean Rondeau himself ran with the Ferté brothers, Alain and Michel while the third car had Jean-Pierre Jaussaud/Philippe Streiff.

Alongside these cars there were four other older-model Rondeaux entered. Two were works entries, and Jean Rondeau was able to entice 48-year old Vic Elford out of a 9-year retirement, with Anny-Charlotte Verney/Joël Gouhier. The other car (an M382) was sponsored by the local government (given car #72, the same as the Sarthe département) and the driver line-up led by Alain Cudini. There were two other M382s entered by privateers: Christian Bussi returned with his car, while Pierre Yver had upgraded from the M379C he ran last year. With limited resources, the small WM team opted out of running a full Championship season, instead choosing to focus on its home race, at Le Mans, with the new P83 model. But their persistence had paid off, with their Peugeot engine development now getting the full backing from the parent company. The 3.1-litre V6 turbo now put out 650 bhp tuned by Denis Mathiot Compétition, who was doing the set-up for the new Citroën Compétitions rally team. Le Mans local Yves Courage improved his Cougar C01 to become the C01B with revised suspension, but sticking with the Cosworth DFL. Another recent garagista, Alain de Cadenet, came on-board as a driver alongside Courage, bringing with him Murray Smith as team manager. Once again Michel Dubois was brought in as the third driver.

With Ford ceasing its work on the Cosworth DFL, Lola in turn finished their racing program with the T610. So there was only the American Lola privateer Ralph Kent-Cooke present, back for only his car's second race, after its first outing at last year's Le Mans. The works Nimrod-Aston Martin was running an IMSA campaign in America, so the only representative was the car of Viscount Downe (an Aston Martin shareholder and president of the owners' club). Considerable work had been done in the close-season, shedding a lot of weight (60 kg) and improving aerodynamics. Aston's in-house specialists, Tickford Engineering, worked up a new, more compact V8 engine for the team. With the lighter weight, the car could now reach 340 kp/h (210 mph), although at 990 kg, it was still the heaviest of the Group C cars (around 150 kg heavier than the Porsches).

The composite-technology company Seger & Hoffmann, half of the Sehcar consortium, were looking at new options away from Peter Sauber. Swiss Walter Brun had raced one of the cars the previous year and when Gerhard Schneider's GS Sport racing team fell into financial difficulty, he bought the other chassis. Seger & Hoffmann kept the intellectual property of the cars and, together with Brun, upgraded the design and built a new C83 version with a 2.7-litre turbo Porsche engine. Brun entered the polyglot threesome for Le Mans but he wrote off the BMW-powered Sehcar in a big accident that broke his arm at the Nürburgring round. As it transpired, the Sehcar-Porsche was still being finished during qualifying week. Brun would race it with regular co-driver Hans-Joachim Stuck and Harold Grohs. The remaining Sehcar-Cosworth would be raced by three Canadians: Villeneuve/Deacon/Heimrath. With the dissolution of the partnership with Seger & Hoffmann, engineer Peter Sauber's small company had to design a brand new car. The C7 was drawn up by the same Mercedes technicians who had helped him with the previous year's project. After the poor results with the Cosworth DFL engine, they turned to the BMW 3.5-litre straight-6 engine. Although with proven reliability, it was underpowered - only generating 475 bhp. Swiss driver Max Welti crashed the car while testing at Monza, so it arrived at Le Mans repaired but under-prepared for their pay-drivers Garcia/Montoya/Naon.

Having previously run BMW M1s at Le Mans, this year Steve O'Rourke (band manager for Pink Floyd) commissioned Len Bailey (formerly at Mirage) to design him a Group C car. Called the EMKA, after O'Rourke's production company, was a low, aerodynamic shape with a modified Aston Martin 5.3-litre engine V8 almost 100 kg lighter than the original, and 85 kg lighter than the Nimrod. Tuned by Aston's in-house team, Tickford Engineering, it put out 570 bhp. O'Rourke would race the car, alongside Tiff Needell and Nick Faure. Not to be outdone by his manager, Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason bought the 1982 Dome. He employed Colin Bennett Racing (who had been running against Mason in the British F1 Championship) to upgrade the car with bigger brakes, a longer tail and improved cooling. Still very quick, it could get up to 355 kp/h (220 mph). He also secured former Dome drivers Chris Craft and Eliseo Salazar as his co-drivers.

Group C Junior
Aside from Porsche and Lancia, the only other factory team present this year was from Mazda. The Group C design was aimed for the new Junior class. The new 717C was designed by the technical team under Takuya Yura at Mazda's in-house division, Mooncraft, the chassis was of aluminium with an aerodynamic Kevlar bodyshell. The new 13B twin-rotor rotary engine was 1308cc (rated as 2.6-litres under the equivalence formula) put out 320 bhp and could get the car up to 305 kp/h (190 mph). The company's racing division, Mazdaspeed, debuted the car at the Silverstone round, and two cars were at Le Mans. Alan Docking was team manager in Europe, with British drivers Jeff Allam, Steve Soper and James Weaver in one car, while Japanese works-drivers Yojiro Terada, Yoshimi Katayama and Takashi Yorino had the new chassis, fitted with upgraded suspension. A new English car also utilised the Mazda rotary. Lester Rey designed the Harrier, with a very light aluminium monocoque chassis, and the 13B rotary was assembled at Engine Shop, Silverstone. The venture was supported by David Palmer of Mazda GB, who was also one of the drivers alongside Pierre Honegger, an American Mazda dealer running his Mazda GTP in the IMSA series.

Alba Engineering was a new Italian racing constructor, founded by Giorgio Stirano, formerly at Osella. He was asked by the Jolly Club team principals Martino Finotto and Carlo Facetti (latterly racing Lancias), to build a car for the new Junior class. The sleek AR2 was built of carbon fibre and just met the weight-limit. The engine was designed by Facetti, an experienced engineer himself but it had to called a Giannini, as the FIA required engines to come from homologated car manufacturers. It was 1914cc straight-four with a KKK-turbocharger, and could put out 420 bhp in race-trim or over 520 bhp for qualifying, getting up to 310 kp/h (190 mph). It was instantly successful, with Finotto and Facetti easily winning the class at the preceding Silverstone and Nürburgring rounds.

Another new marque seen this year was the Sthemo, which was an acronym of drivers Hubert Striebig Jacques Heuclin and designer Rudi Mössinger. The latter had worked with the team previously with the ToJ cars in the 2-litre Group 6 class. This French project was a new ground-effects design. Originally slated to use a Mazda engine, they settled for a 2.2-litre BMW engine, as the former was unavailable. Underpowered, it put out 270 bhp, but it made up for it being the lightest car in the class. This year, François Duret moved his DeCadenet-Lola down from Group C to the Junior class. Working with ADA Engineering, it got new bodywork and was lightened. Its 3-litre Cosworth DFV was prepared and tuned by John Nicholson.

Group B
Racing teams had not taken to the Porsche 924 car being developed for Group B, preferring to stay with the proven reliability of the rear-engine 911 variants. The Porsche 930 had a 3.3- or 3.0-litre turbo and a multi-national six were entered. These included former 935-owners Swiss Claude Haldi and the Spanish Alméras brothers (with 3.3-litre cars) while German Edgar Dören ran the smaller engine version. They were joined by the English Charles Ivey Engineering team, Frenchman Michel Lateste and German Georg Memminger. It had been Memminger's crucial class win at the Nürburgring that had proven the difference for Porsche to win the Manufacturers' Championship over Lancia the previous year. There was only a single BMW M1 to take on the squadron of Porsches. Owned by Brun Motorsport, it was entered by prospective owner Angelo Pallavicini. As co-drivers he had Jens Winther and German royalty, Prinz "Poldi" von Bayern. Winther was successfully running his own M1 with his Team Castrol Denmark. The final entry in the class was a specially lightened Porsche 928 by French privateer Raymond Boutinard. It had a 4.7-litre V8 engine.

Practice and Qualifying
Porsche came prepared for qualifying with engines fitted with larger turbos that could get wound up to 700 bhp at 1.4-bar boost. Once again, in a dominating performance, Jacky Ickx claimed his third pole-position in three years. As before, he threw down the gauntlet early in practice with a lap of 3:16.6 seconds, fully twelve seconds faster than his pole time the year before. His teammate, Jochen Mass, was second fastest after the first day, just ahead of the Lancia. The team also practiced a fourth car (#33) with Ickx qualifying it 7th, though they were not intending to race it.

Last thing on Thursday, while other teams were doing their race set-up, Lancia fitted qualifying tyres on Alboreto's car. In a strong run, with the boost cranked up to 820 bhp, he snatched second place by two-tenths of a second (3:20.8). Ghinzani was fourth having the works teams two-by-two. Their build-up had been difficult, with Alboreto blowing an engine on Wednesday on his first lap, and Ghinzani losing a gearbox on Thursday. The third car had the additional weight of a 16 kg camera for live, in-car coverage for Eurovision.

Klaus Ludwig was fifth on the grid (3:23:8), in the first of the customer Porsches. Volkert Merl recorded the highest speed in practice. Aided by an immense tow behind his team-mate Ludwig, he reached 370 kp/h (230 mph) down the Hunaudières straight. Jonathon Palmer put the Canon Porsche on 6th and the Kremer Porsche was 9th behind the other works Porsches. The effort that many teams had done on their cars in the close-season was reflected in the better lap-times. The Nimrod, losing 60 kg weight was 10 seconds faster than its time from 1982. This made it the highest-placed non-turbo on the grid, in 15th (3:35.8). It was readily apparent the normally-aspirated cars could not compete against the turbo Porsches and Lancias. They would effectively have to run at qualifying pace just to match the turbos' race-pace.

However, the Rondeaux were unexpectedly slow. Sardou had done computer modelling that the cars could reach 355 kp/h (220 mph) but the best car could only get to 320 kp/h (200 mph). In fact the big air tunnels were too effective, pulling the car to the road and bottoming out. Stiffer suspension just created a bouncing "porpoising" effect making the cars exhausting to drive. Pescarolo put in the best time, but was only 17th quickest (3:36.1), twenty seconds behind Ickx. The Cooke Lola was able to match its grid time from last year, but this time is put it ten places down on the grid (27th), such was the advance in lap times.

In the C Junior class, the Jolly Club Alba confirmed its place as favourite for the class win with the fastest time (3:42.8) in class putting it 26th, in the middle of the grid. It was over 20 seconds faster than the rest of the class, led by the two Mazdas, the best of which was 41st, with a 4:05.9. A casualty of qualifying was the Harrier – on Wednesday they had suspension problems, and the next day blew its only engine. The Group B class filled out the end of the grid, with the BMW three seconds faster (4:10.4) than the Porsches.

Start
There was a bad omen for Roger Dorchy, whose WM had to be pushed off the grid to fix an oil-leak, and costing him almost half an hour. Mass overtook Ickx to lead the first lap, then on the second lap debutante Lammers made an opportunistic lunge for second on Ickx at the Mulsanne corner. The cars collided and both had to pit for replacement noses, costing them about 2 minutes, and almost a lap. The debacle moved Schuppan's Porsche up to restore the works 1-2. He was being chased hard by Alboreto's Lancia, then the Porsches of Ludwig, Andretti, Fitzpatrick, Merl with the other two Lancias of Ghinzani and Nannini rounding out the top-10. Casualties in the first hour included Jaussaud's Rondeau (oil leak), Richard Cleare's Kremer (blown turbo) while Birrane's Ford ran out of fuel when Migault drove too hard in the opening shift. Alboreto was in the pits with gearbox issues and finally seized up completely at Arnage at 5.30pm. Ghinzani moved into third but then dropped back with fuel problems. Nick Mason's Dome stopped on Mulsanne Straight at 6pm. With a damaged gearbox, Eliseo Salazar spent 50 minutes before he could slam it into third gear and get back to the pits.

By 8'clock, after the second stops, Bellof and Holbert had pulled away from the chasing pack. Heyer, in the Lancia was third, ahead of Johansson in the Marlboro Porsche and Bell, driving hard back up through the field. The other Joest Porsche was sixth ahead of the JFR one and the two Rondeaux of Cudini and Ferté doing well with Palmer in the Canon Porsche now back up to tenth after its second lap excursion.

As dusk started to fall at the quarter-distance mark, the Ickx/Bell car had restored the works 1-2-3, (now being led by Schuppan/Holbert/Holbert) albeit a lap behind. However, Bell flirted with disaster with his car running out of fuel as it coasted down the pitlane. The Marlboro Porsche had lost five laps with faulty plugs so the leading customer cars were the JFR car, with the Andrettis, NewMan-Joest and Skoal Bandit JFR cars behind. In fact, Porsches locked out the whole top 10 places. Behind them was the best of the rest, with the Cooke Lola now the leading non-German car in 11th, just ahead of Vic Elford's older Rondeau M379, the Sauber and the WM in 14th. In the Junior class, the Japanese-driven Mazda had been swapping the lead with the Alba regularly through the evening. The Mazda was now leading, 22nd overall, after a long fuel-stop dropped the Alba to 27th. In Group B, the BMW had held a handy lead for the first six hours of the race, until it ran into gearbox problems that cost two hours to repair. < This moved the Ivey Porsche up to lead the class (19th overall) and it carried on up the top-20 during the night as others retired, well ahead of the rest of their competition.

Night
The Rothmans Porsche dominance ended at midnight when the Mass/Bellof car pulled into the pits with a sick engine. The fuel system had developed a fault, putting the car onto a full-lean mixture that eventually had holed a piston. The mechanics isolated the part and the drivers carried on with five cylinders. The JFR Porsche, the leading privateer, was still running fourth when around the same time it had to pit with a broken fuel-metering system. Repairs could not fix the issue and the car retired when it stopped out on the circuit. Team owner, John Fitzpatrick, switched across to his other team car, with Guy Edwards and John Keegan that had been 7th but soon improved up to 4th itself. Either side of 1am, the Canon-RLR Porsche, running 8th, lost half an hour each on two suspension problems. Dropping nine places, Lammers and Palmer eventually fought back to finish 8th. The Nimrod had been delayed by alternator problems, then lost 40 minutes in the evening fixing a gear selector. Then after 11pm, Earle brought the car in and another 40 minutes was spent fixing the electrics. Getting back in the race in 31st, thereafter it ran well for 9 hours. Then at 9.20am having got all the way back up to 13th, a conrod broke throwing a hole through the engine and leaving Salmon stranded out on the Indianapolis straight.

Lancia's poor weekend was finished by the early hours of Sunday morning. Just before 2am, the Ghinzani/Heyer car lost its fuel-pressure in the Porsche Curves. They could only coast as far as the Ford Chicane before coming to a terminal stop. The last team-car had pitted half an hour earlier with its turbos disintegrating. Despite labouring for three hours and several exploratory laps, the repairs proved fruitless. Solid driving by Bell and Ickx finally got them back onto the lead lap at 3am, when the leaders pitted with a puncture. Behind them were the 956 customer-teams: the Kremer Porsche of the Andretti's trailed by three laps along with the Joest Porsches and John Fitzpatrick's remaining car.

At half-distance, the position of the leading cars had stayed constant. Desiré Wilson had the Obermeier Porsche in 8th, and the Sauber was up to 9th, as the first non-turbo, non-Porsche, with the Pescarolo/Boutsen Rondeau in 10th. The Mazda, in 17th, had grown its lead over the Alba. Group B was developing into a close race, with only one retirement in the class to date. The Ivey Porsche 930 (16th) was still leading, ahead of the Memminger Porsche (20th). Soon after midnight, the Alba spent over an hour in the pits repairing a broken throttle cable, and then a damaged turbo. They were able to continue through the night but as morning came they lost more time fixing the gearbox. Facetti finally retired it around 9am when chassis failure made it undriveable.

Morning
As dawn broke, all 11 Porsche 956s were still running – in the top 12 positions. By contrast no Lancias remained and only 2 of the 7 Rondeaux. When interviewed, Jean Rondeau was scathing of Ford's lack of support for the Cosworth engines. Bell finally took the lead at 6.30am, but held it for only fifteen minutes, when he came to a stop at Mulsanne – a wire from his Motronic engine system had come adrift. He was able to reattach it (as the drivers had practiced) but the consequent pitstop cost them twelve minutes and five laps. The Andretti Kremer car took over second, putting a lap on the Rothmans Porsche.

It needed more hard driving by the champion pair, as they had conserved petrol in the first half of the race. In the process, Ickx set a new lap record of 3:29.1. They finally retook second place at 11.30, albeit three laps behind the team-mates. A miserable race for the Mass/Bellof works Porsche finally came to an end. on Sunday afternoon. After running on five cylinders since midnight, the engine finally gave up at a late-morning pit-stop. Although the mechanics worked for a half-hour, they could not restart the engine.

Without the precision of the Motronic system, the only hope for the privateer Porsche teams to match the works teams was on fuel economy. The Porsches were doing 14 laps as standard, and switching to the 10-litre reserve tank would often get an extra lap. Rupert Keegan inadvertently found out the fuel limit on Sunday morning. Mistakenly shown a pit-board with "14" on it, instead of "16" (meaning 16th lap, pit now), the car spluttered and was misfiring badly. Amazingly, the Fitzpatrick car was able to complete a 17th lap on 100 litres of fuel - 6.5mpg (36 L/100 km). French hopes had taken a dive when the Pescarolo/Boutsen Rondeau retired at breakfast time with engine failure, while the British fraternity lost the Nimrod due to a broken connecting rod later in the morning, after running as high as 13th.

In the late morning the two Lancia LC1s of the Scuderia Sivama pitted with major engine issues. When repairs could not solve the issues, the cars were parked up for five hours until just before 4pm when they went out to complete several laps. Unfortunately, with insufficient distance covered neither could be classified. Early in the afternoon, Klaus Ludwig, in the 4th-placed Joest Porsche spun at Tertre Rouge, as he was going onto the long back straight. With heavy damage to the right-hand side, he lost ten laps limping back to the pits and getting repairs. With no spare langheck tail sections, they had to modify the undertray to take a standard tail.

Finish and post-race
The final hours became some of the most tense in Le Mans race history – at 2.40pm Schuppan arrived at the pits with his left door missing (not the first car in this race to have this happen), compromising the integrated engine-cooling system. He ran the car for a further few laps, but soon saw the engine temperature going dangerously high and pitted. The very hot engine proved difficult to restart and Holbert took the car out gingerly. Halfway down the Mulsanne straight, the airflow began to do its job, but the makeshift door repairs broke. Holding the door with one hand, and running at a reduced pace using less revs, he was able to protect a seriously overheating engine. According to Holbert: "'When I switched on, right away I could see that the left-bank temperature gauge was reading very high. The engine was so hot on that side that there was quite a delay getting it started. When it finally fired, I just couldn't take me eyes off that gauge. I was really worried about it. Then halfway down Mulsanne, the faster airflow began to get to the rad and I saw the gauge begin to drop. I thought maybe we were OK now, and we had a new door. But right away the makeshift door fixing broke! I grabbed hold of the door and held on. But when I was midway through the slower sections, through Indianapolis and Arnage and on to the Porsche Curve, well, that gauge started to rise again... So here's what I decided to do: find a pace which would keep us alive, cooling the engine down Mulsanne, keeping the revs down in the slower sections. I found that the door wasn't too much of a problem. I got down to a pace at which I could control the temperature and I could maintain it without too much difficulty."

He settled down to a 3:45 lap. However, he was now only a lap ahead of the reinvigorated Bell, who had just taken over from Ickx and doing 3:30-3:33 laps. But all was not well with the number 1 car either, with the team recommending changing brake discs as both of the front pads were cracked. Knowing that time taken would definitely lose them the race, Bell chose to trust his ability and his car, and carry on. "'A couple of minutes later, I was out on the circuit, through Tertre Rouge and onto the Mulsanne straight. As soon as the speed built up I realised what Jacky had been saying. The front brakes were so out of balance that I had to hang on to the steering wheel for dear life down the straight. When I arrived at the brow I had to start changing down through the gears, slowing the car from 220mph largely on the transmission. I just made it through the corner each time.'"

Holbert came in for his final fuel stop at 3.25pm and the mechanics fitted a leather strap to secure the door. He had been managing his speed, but team manager Roland Kussmaul told him he would have to go faster with Bell closing. While Holbert was refuelling, Bell unlapped himself. He was power-sliding out of the corners with virtually no brakes. Meanwhile, Holbert saw that both the temperature gauges were in the red. With just two minutes to go, at Arnage, they suddenly dropped to zero, meaning no more water was getting into the engine. Coming onto the front straight, without its water, the engine seized. Holbert was desperately able to bump-start it again, with a big puff of white smoke as he passed the pits. He made it round one more painful lap to take the chequered flag and pulled over straight away. Bell arrived just 64 seconds later and also pulled over, having had to switch to his reserve tank halfway round the lap. Neither car would likely have been able to do another one.

The customer-Porsche teams filled out most of the top-10. The Kremer Porsche came in third, five laps behind the winners. Having covered five more laps than last year's winner, it was only later that Mario Andretti realised he came within minutes of attaining the remarkable achievement of winning the Triple Crown – matching a feat only done by Graham Hill, by winning the Formula 1 Championship, the Indianapolis 500 and the Le Mans 24 Hours. The Joest team were fourth and sixth, while the John Fitzpatrick car split them, in fifth. With ten minutes to go, the JFR team had a late scare, having to replace the front brake unit. They managed to get it done in time to complete a final lap.

The only non-Porsche to finish in the top-10 was the Sauber C7. Running 7th by 7am, the team had stayed out of trouble, aside from a half-hour stop to fix the exhaust, and finished a creditable ninth. The Charles Ivey Porsche followed up their Group 5 class-victory last year by finishing 11th overall and winning the Group B GT class this year. For John Cooper, it was his third class-victory in three years. The winner of the C Junior class was the Japanese-driven Mazda. Aside from two punctures, their run was trouble-free and the reward was twelfth overall, and the best fuel economy in the race: of over 9mpg (26 L/100 km). They had spent most of the afternoon in close proximity to their stablemate, which had lost over an hour early in the race on Saturday fixing bodywork after a tyre exploded at top speed on the Mulsanne straight. Christian Bussi's Rondeau M382 came in 19th, having lost time with two gearbox rebuilds. The Primagaz Rondeau of Pierre Yver had run solidly in the top-20 through the first half of the race. Come the new day, it was afflicted with electrical problems several times. Despite new batteries, the issues persisted. Yver parked the car for 45 minutes until driving out to complete the final lap. Unfortunately, the engine stopped with just metres to go at the Ford Chicane. He got out and pushed it over the lined but that caused his disqualification.

It was a well-earned result for the veteran Vern Schuppan. After eleven attempts had yielded two seconds, he became only the second Australian to win the race after Bernard Rubin, way back in 1928 for Bentley. As Jacky Ickx put it: "'It was a very exciting Le Mans, for sure. We both felt the frustration of catching up several times but being disturbed each time by a mechanical problem. But being second in these circumstances - well, it's quite acceptable, you know? Perhaps the others were lucky but, with no doubt, Derek and I have had our share of good luck in previous years.'"

Porsche easily won the Manufacturer's Championship, and Jacky Ickx narrowly beat his team-mate Derek Bell for the Driver's Championship. Bob Wollek went onto win the revived European Endurance Championship with Joest. If possible, this was arguably an even more dominant victory for Porsche than the previous year's result. Sweeping the top-eight positions was the best result ever for a single marque, beating the achievement of Ferrari in 1963, twenty years earlier, when they took the top six positions overall. It would be a daunting, and expensive prospect for any manufacturer to take on the German marque with a competitive car. By stark contrast, the small Rondeau team found their Group C challenger, the M482, a dismal failure. Having won Le Mans only three years earlier, the company was placed in receivership by the end of the year.

Welcome to Introduction to GarageBand.

GarageBand is software that allows you to make music, podcasts and movie sound tracks. This tutorial allows participants to learn how to use GarageBand to make audio and visual resources for projects such as Wikiversity the Movie. If you have audio or visual clips to donate, please upload them to Wikiversity and/or leave a link at Introduction to GarageBand/Audio and video resources.

How to get GarageBand software
GarageBand software is included with all Macintoshes bought from Apple. GarageBand is part of iLife, a suite of applications that allow creation and organization of digital images and sounds. In addition to GarageBand, iLife includes iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, iTunes, and iWeb. The GarageBand 3 version of 2006 introduced two major features, support for podcasting and support for movie sound tracks. If you have an older Macintosh (pre-2006) with GarageBand 2, you need to upgrade by purchasing the latest version of the iLife application suite.

Start using GarageBand
The GarageBand application can be found in the Applications folder of a new Macintosh. The image (Figure 1, to right) shows the GarageBand icon in the dock and part of a GarageBand project window containing musical notes in an edit window. GarageBand has eight menus including "Track", "Control" and "Help". The Help menu provides access to the GarageBand Help feature (see Figure 2, to left).

There is more help at the Apple webpage for GarageBand: www.apple.com/garageband. At the Apple website there is a video tutorial for GarageBand. The Apple tutorial video emphasizes how to use GarageBand for making podcasts and sound tracks for movies. There are many help files in GarageBand Help, the first help file is called "GarageBand basics".

A fun way to get started with GarageBand is to download a project file such as "Only" by Nine Inch Nails.

GarageBand comes with pre-recorded sound files called "Apple Loops". To access the Apple Loops, click on the "loop browser" button (see Figure 3, right, below). The loop browser helps you find interesting instrument sounds and hear them. When you find a sound you like just drag it up into the "tracks" window. Click the "play" button and adjust the volume control slider.

Note: the red button is for recording (see below for details). The play button (triangle) works as both a play button and a stop button and you can also use the space bar to control play of your project's sounds.

Movie scores
When you start GarageBand 3 you can select music, podcast or movie score projects (See figure 4, left). As an example, imagine that someone created a movie (QuickTime .moov format) corresponding to the animated Gif shown in Figure 5. This tutorial will explore how you can use GarageBand to produce a sound track for the movie. First, launch GarageBand 3 and select a new movie score project. After the new project window opens, drag a copy of the movie into the area of the GarageBand window that says "drag movie here". In this case, the original movie file only has video. Once the movie is in your GarageBand project, you can start adding sound tracks. In this case we will use several over-lapping channels of Apple Loops and voice input. The movie that is used as an example was created as an example for Wikiversity shorts, so it is a short movie, only about 15 seconds long.

The sample movie (Figure 5) is playing around with the term "short". The basic background sounds of the movie are sounds like electrical "shorting". The voice content is simple, "Learning the wiki way". See the QuickTime version of this short movie with a sound track produced by GarageBand.

The GarageBand project for the sample movie combines four GarageBand sound tracks to produce a single sound track for the final QuickTime movie (See Figure 6, below). The list of tracks first shows the video track of the movie followed by two sound effects tracks, a music track and a voice track. All of the sounds used were taken from the Apple Loops library of sounds that comes with GarageBand, but some of these sound samples were shortened (easily accomplished by just click-draging the end of the colored box representing a sound). The Appple Loops browser at the bottom left of Figure 6 shows the source of the electrical sound used when the words "Wiki" and "Versity" collide. The track information for the voice track is shown in the lower right corner of Figure 6.

Time-variable volume control was used for three of the four sound tracks (the blue shaded track volume profiles). The voice saying "Learn the wiki way" was computer generating using the built-in Macintosh voice synthesizer. The desired text was entered into the SimpleText application, read by the computer and recorded (use the red "record" button) into GarageBand using the Macintosh's built-in microphone. The video preview window (upper right corner in Figure 6) allows you to watch the movie as you build the sound track.

When you are happy with the sound track for a movie, use the "Share" menu to export the finished movie.

Your turn
Try a small Garageband project. Describe your experience below:

Podcast creation with Garageband
There is a set of tutorial videos that you can download from Apple's website into iTunes. If that link does not work for your browser (requires iTunes), try this one.
 * Creating Your Own Podcast	- An overview of what a podcast is and how to create, manage and publish your podcast using iLife'06.
 * Planning Your Podcast Recording Session - Setting a structure for each episode and outlining each segment.
 * Recording Your First Podcast Episode - Creating a new episode, setting recording levels, and starting to record.
 * Polishing the Sound of Your Podcast Episode - Eliminating mistakes or pauses and adding introductory music and sound effects.
 * Enhancing Your Podcast Episode with Artwork and Chapters - Adding images and web links to each segment.
 * Exporting Your Podcast to iWeb - To begin collecting your episodes into a podcast series, you export from GarageBand to iWeb.
 * Making a Video Podcast - Using iMovie HD to capture and edit a video episode.
 * Adding a Podcast - Using iWeb to create a podcast with the episodes you made in GarageBand or iMovie HD.

Sample podcast
The basic idea for this sample podcast (Wikiversity Reports Volume 1) was to put the contents of this report on Wikiversity into podcast format. GarageBand exports podcasts in M4A format. This example file is about 3.7 Mb and runs 5 minutes.

If you are using most browsers including the Safari browser, use this .mac website to view the podcast. Internet Explorer for Mac may have problems with that webpage.

You can also use this webpage to download the "Wikiversity Reports Volume 1" podcast to your hard drive. If your web browser has problems downloading this file, you may want to use Firefox. Other browsers may load the M4A file into a browser window as a text file. If so, you can right click on this link and download the "text" file to your hard drive (WikiversityReports1.m4a.txt). Remove the ".txt" extension from the downloaded file name and open the "WikiversityReports1.m4a" file using QuickTime or iTunes (see below).

RealPlayer will play the audio part of the podcast, but it has trouble with the images. Windows media player does not recognize M4A files.

You can view the downloaded podcast with Apple's Quicktime player. For some reason, the Quicktime player by default opens the images in a 160 x 160 pixel window. For best viewing of the podcast images, use the Window menu of the player to open "Movie Info". Re-size the podcast window to 300 x 300 pixels.

You can also use iTunes to watch the image "slide show" that is in this podcast. Make sure you turn on the "song artwork" feature of iTunes (use the button circled in red, Figure 8). The default size for the song artwork window in iTunes is too small. Click and drag the window boundary (green oval in Figure 8) to enlarge the window. You can also get an even larger magnified view of an image by clicking on the song art window. While the song art window is in the lower left hand corner of iTunes, the chapter menu button is at the top near the search tool in iTunes 6. In iTunes 7, there is a regular chapter menu for podcasts with chapters. Chapters. Each image in a podcast can be given a chapter name and a URL can be provided. Quicktime and iTunes use different methods for display of a chapter's link at the bottom of the image (compare Figure 7 and Figure 8). The method used by iTunes is the same as what is shown in the GarageBand image preview. The QuickTime view of the podcast at this website does not allow you to select chapters and for some browsers the links in the chapter images may not function optimally. It is best to subscribe to the podcast and view from within iTunes.

Tips and hints. The GarageBand interface has a few features that I found to be sources of problems. As a company that has done much to bring us "what you see is what you get", Apple got a bit lazy with how GarageBand shows the video images for podcasts. The video image preview within GarageBand can be misleading. It does not indicate the the way that either iTunes or QuickTime shows images by default.

When you insert an image into GarageBand, it creates a rectangular box that represents the temporal location and duration for display of the image in your podcast. GarageBand allows you to drag these rectangles around, but be careful! If the last thing you clicked on was the icon representing the entire image channel, then all of the individual images are selected. If you try to move or re-size just one image, you will actually move or re-size all ow the images. If you are zoomed in on one image you might not notice that you have messed up all of the other images until you zoom out again. Always make sure you know exactly what is selected before you edit your podcast.

GarageBand can also be misleading in terms of audio quality. There are several choices available for podcast audio quality. In order to save on size, you might export your podcast project with a lower level of audio quality that what you heard while working in GarageBand. This can be a problem for certain sound and voice effects that might essentially become inaudible or simply be heard as noise in your final podcast.

Video podcasts
Video podcasting is for situations where you have a real digital video track. For example, see this video podcast of Jimmy Wales.

An example of a video podcast that was made using GarageBand on a Macintosh is for the example video from Figure 5, above. Video podcasts are basically just .mov QuickTime files.

Tusas Mountains

The Tusas Mountains are a mountain range in northern New Mexico, extending slightly into southern Colorado. They are considered the southeasternmost part of the San Juan Mountains. Grouse Mesa, 11407 ft, is the highest peak in the range. The mountains are located to the west of Taos and northwest of Santa Fe. The Tusas Mountains are a wide region of upland mesas and gently sloping mountains, dissected in places by deep canyons.

Geography
The eastern part of the range is primarily located in the Carson National Forest, bordered by the Taos Plateau volcanic field and Rio Grande del Norte National Monument to the east. It provides the headwaters for the Rio San Antonio, a tributary of the Conejos River (which flows into the Rio Grande in Colorado), and further south the Rio Tusas and Rio Vallecito, which form the Rio Ojo Caliente, a tributary of the Rio Chama (also a Rio Grande tributary). Numerous volcanic features are located along the eastern edge of the range bordering the Taos plateau including nearby San Antonio Mountain.

Much of the western part of the range, also known as the Brazos Mountains, is in the privately owned Tierra Amarilla Land Grant. The terrain consists of harder granite and metamorphic rock, and is more rugged than the eastern side. It includes features such as the Brazos Cliffs and several small mountain lakes including Hidden Lake and Sugar Loaf Lake. It is drained primarily by the Rio Chama and its tributary the Rio Brazos.

Climate
Grouse Mesa, the highest peak in the Tusas Mountains, has a subalpine climate (Köppen Dfc).

History
Gold and silver were discovered in the Tusas in 1881, but the deposits were of low quality and the area never saw significant mining activity.

In 1986 the United States Board on Geographic Names redefined the Brazos Mountains, originally considered a separate mountain range, as part of the Tusas Mountains, although the old name is still locally used.

From Wikibooks, the free textbook project.

Hi and welcome to wikibooks. I noticed you started a book on electronics and just wanted to point out that i have already written a very basic introduction to electronics in the GCSE science book. Take a look at Circuits (GCSE science) and the pages that follow - you may find it easier to visit Electricity (GCSE science) and navigate from there. Feel free to copy anything you want including any of the diagrams. (click on a diagram and it will take you to a description page titles image:image_name.png, copy the title of the description page into the page you want and put double square brackets around it like this . Preview and you should see the image appear on the page. Theresa knott 12:54, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)

"The web page is written in HTML and Javascript. Because of that the source code is wide open and available to all. Radio amateurs are encourged to take the code, modify it, and create something even more useful to the ham community. The way the web page operates does not have to be limited to schematics. It could be extended to other uses such as printed circuit board layout."

"These things imply that it's ideal for amateur radio. It can be shared all over the world, which is where hams are. It can be used with diverse equipment, which hams have. It it can be modified, which hams love to do. And hams need simple, albiet clunky, schematics.

So, Klunky is my gift to amateur radio. If some ham, somewhere, can get some use out of it, he's welcome to it."

I am sure he wouldn't mind if we use it. He says the code is open. I have written him to ask specifically, but he hasn't responded.

Scarlet (TV series)

Scarlet (スカーレット) is a Japanese television drama series and the 101st Asadora series, following Natsuzora. It premiered on September 30, 2019, and concluded on March 28, 2020.

Plot
This asadora follows the life and career of Kimiko Kawahara (played as an adult by Erika Toda) pioneering the way for women in the male-dominated field of ceramics in Japan after World War II. The story centres around Shiga Prefecture and the pottery town of Shigaraki.

In 1947, 9-year-old Kimiko (played as a child by Yukawa Kawashima) came to Shigaraki from Osaka with her father Joji (played by Kazuki Kitamura), mother Matsu (played by Yasuko Tomita), and two sisters. Joji was fleeing from debt collectors due to a business failure as a result of the war. As they settle into life in rural Shiga, Kimiko, who is very curious, is inspired by the pottery work in Shigaraki. However, initially Kimiko goes to school, takes care of her sisters and helps her mother with the housework. Joji found work in the transport industry, but the Kawahara family was still poor. Because of this, Joji brings a young man named Soichiro Kusama (played by Ryuta Sato) to board in the household. Kimiko finds inspiration from Kusama, who in turn praises her drawing work.

Eventually, the debt collectors trace Joji to Shigaraki...

As an adult, Kimiko marries another ceramicist and has one son (that later died of leukemia) but continues to pursue her dreams of working in ceramics and seeks to create her own unique style.

Historical Introduction to Philosophy/Consequentialism

Home Back Forward

Consequentialism is a moral theory and the belief that what ultimately matters is the morality of producing the right kinds of overall consequences. "Overall consequences" of an action mean the action itself and everything the action brings about. Thus, from a consequentialist's view, the morally right action is would be the action that produces good consequences. It is the results of the action that are looked at, not necessarily the means to produce the action. It is nearly impossible for anyone to come up a standard, universal definition of consequentialism, but by looking at its roots it is possible to create a clear picture of this moral theory. The majority of consequentialist theories focus on maximizing good states, while other theories follow the stance that agents should try to produce good consequences, even if they might not produce the best possible results. With regards to philosophers, some notable consequntialists are: [Jeremy Bentham], Henry Sedgwick, Peter Singer, and John Stewart Mill. We will later discuss many of these thinkers. Although there are several different forms of consequentialism, we will discuss the most prevalent in this course.

G.E.M. Anscombe coined the term "consequentialism" in 1958 in her essay "Moral Modern Philosophy." This theory's roots are in utilitarianism and since the 1960's, many writers have used the term "consequentialism" instead of "utilitarianism" for the view that the extent of the rightness of an action depends on the value of its consequences. Due to this distinction, utilitarianism is now used to describe different forms of consequentialism. Therefore, let's dicuss some of the many forms of consequentialism.

Types of Consequentialism
Plain Consequentialism- At any given moment, of all the things that a person could do, the morally right action is the one with the best overall consequences. So, if we were to decide that the good is happiness, the right action would be the action that caused the most happiness, more so than would have been caused by any other alternative action. A good example of this would be the rationality of setting speed limits, which takes into account accurately balancing many considerations.

Reasonable Consequentialism- An action would be morally right if and only if it has the best reasonably expected consequences. This says that for any of my actions to be right, I should first come to a conclusion that is reasonable about the consequences.

Dual Consequentialism- The word "right" is ambiguous in that it has a moral sense and an objective sense; the action with the best consequences is the objectively right action and any action with the best reasonably expected consequences is the morally right action.

Double Consequentialism- Again, the word "right" is ambiguous in that it has a moral sense and an objective sense; the action with the best consequences is the objectively right action and any action that can be reasonably estimated to be objectively right is the morally right action. The difference between dual consequentialism and double consequentialism is the idea of a morally right action. Whereas Dual Consequentialism discusses any action with the best reasonably expected consequences, Double Consequentialism talks about the morally right action that is estimated to be objectively right.

Rule Consequentialism- An action is morally right if and only if and only if it doesn't violate the set of rules of behavior that is generally accepted in the community as creating the best consequences- which is at least as good as any competing set of rules or no rules. With this theory, an action is not judged as being right or wrong by its own consequences; it is right or wrong depending on if it violates the collective rules that would carry the best consequences.

Agent-neutral Consequentialism- Ignores the specific values a state of affairs has on the agent. Therefore, when evaluating what action I should take, my own personal goals don't count more than anyone else's goals.

Agent- focused Consequentialism- Focus is on the needs of the agent; being more concerned with the immediate welfare of myself, my family and friends, than with the general welfare. Both of the agent-centered approaches focus on the interests of an agent as an individual and as having membership in different groups, thus acknowledging the tension from trying to balance everyone's interests. Personal interests or motivations reflect how agents may act for an ends disconnected to their own drives and interests.

Hedonistic Consequentialism- A good action is one that results in an increase in pleasure, and that the best action is one in which creates the most pleasure possible. In this case, the term "happiness" refers to the maximization of pleasure and the minimization of pain. This form of consequentialism emphasizes the collective happiness; the happiness of everyone and the not happiness of a particular person.

What is a Consequence?
As was mentioned above, in consequentialism the consequences of an action include everything the action brings about, which includes the action itself. The consequences of an action include 1) everything the action causes and 2) the action itself. In most theories of consequentialism, the focus is on the moral quality of actions, and intentional actions are the actions that can be morally right or wrong. In this context, intentional actions are things that we do deliberately. Therefore, it could be understood that most consequences of most actions are not actual outcomes, but merely probabilities of outcomes. In many cases, the very concept of a consequence varies. Some writers may even include the performance of an action into the consequence and that performing an act is one of the consequences of the end result. On the same note, some claim that rather than moral rightness depending on actual consequences, it depends on foreseen/foreseeable, intended, or likely consequences. So, if a bad consequence is foreseeable and a person still performs the action to produce the bad consequence, then that person is morally wrong. Objective consequentialism is the name given to moral theories that focus on actual or fairly likely consequences. Adversely, subjective consequentialism focuses on intentional or anticipated consequences.

Consequentialists
Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) is best known as an early advocate of utilitarianism- the roots of conseqentialism. Not only did Bentham propose numerous political and legal reforms, he also pronounced a moral principle on which the reforms would be based. He argued that the best action or policy is one that would cause the "greatest happiness of the greatest number." Soon, Bentham primarily focused on what he called "the greatest happiness principle", which is commonly referred to as the principle of utility. Bentham's principal of utility- an act is right if and only if it tends to maximize the net overbalancing sum total of pleasure over pain for all parties concerned. There are a few allowable interpretations of Bentham's principle and it can be understood in two definite ways: the first being a guide for decision to decide what action to take, and the second being a guide for the evaluation of an action- yours or someone else's. Also, if the principle is used as a guide for decision-making, it provokes the objection that there is not a large enough time frame to consider all of the consequences before acting. Also, some interpretations examine other things besides acts, such as rules or attitudes and others annote the usage of the word "right" and instead use the words "obligation" or "duty".

John Stuart Mill ( 1806-1873) was a student of Bentham and also an advocate of Utilitarianism. Mill' s interpretation of "the greatest happiness principle" is hedonistic in nature; it states that there is a hierarchy of pleasures, which means that the pursuit of specific kinds of pleasure is of higher value than the pursuit of other pleasures. Whereas Bentham treats every form of happiness as being equal, Mill contends that moral and intellectual pleasures are preferable to the ones that are more physical forms of pleasure. Mill also claims that "happiness" is of more value than "contentment".

Henry Sidgwick (1838-1900) was an English philosopher as well as a Utilitarian who held views that were along the same lines of Bentham and Mill. The position that Sidgwick adopted was one that can be described as ethical hedonism; the illustration of goodness in any action is that it produces the greatest amount of pleasure possible.This hedonism is not limited to the self, but extends to the pleasure of others, which would make the principle universalistic.

Peter Singer (1946- ) is a more modern utilitarian thinker and has turned his ideas about universalization into a form of utilitarianism. Singer argues "on the strength of my thought that my own interests cannot count for more than the interests of others." Singer also advocates the principle that it is morally required to abandon a small pleasure to alleviate someone else's considerable pain.

Criticisms of Consequentialism: Consequentialism has been heavily criticized in the past. One of the major arguments, made by G.E.M. Anscombe, against it is that the moral theories of consequentialism hold agents accountable for unintended consequences of their actions, which in turn, questions the moral character of the agents involved. Bernard Williams Another major argument is that consequentialism estranges the agent because they are left to put too much distance between themselves and their own commitments and duties.

Talk:Cardiff Corporation Waterworks

Llanishen Brook and megalitres
Hi - nice piece of work, thanks for an excellent addition to WP. Two observations if I may: i) in this line - Works included a storage reservoir at Lisvane, with a catchment area of 2200 acre, collecting water from the Llanishen, Nant Mawr, Nant Draw, Nant Felin and Nant Dulas. - are you referring to Llanishen Brook?, and ii) I puzzled over the storage capacities initially before realising that 'MI' is in fact 'Ml' (yes, looks the same in this font! - but one is a capital 'i' and the other a lower case ell) and is the result of the automatic conversion into Megalitres. It's a WP-wide issue but might MI be explained on first encounter to avoid puzzlement of other readers? cheers Geopersona (talk) 07:58, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi . Thanks for the observations. I have now used 3 e6impgal(Ml) on first occurrence. I am not sure about Llanishen Brook. Wheatley only calls it the Llanishen, and I cannot find anything labelled Llanishen Brook either on the modern 1:25000 map or on historic 1:2500 maps. Bob1960evens (talk) 23:27, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi - if you take a look at https://maps.nls.uk/view/135197707 then a stream which runs off the southern edge of the sheet is labelled Llanishen Brook at that point and is almost certainly what Wheatley had in mind, though there's a judgement as to whether we stick strictly with the reference or make a reasonable inference, I guess. cheers Geopersona (talk) 10:25, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi . I have looked at the map, and managed to find the same brook on old-maps, so I can relate it to where it occurs on the modern map. I am unsure whether it is the same, since it appears to be too far west to feed a storage reservoir in Lisvane, although I suppose it is possible that Lisvane described a much larger area than it now does. I wonder if a more precise location for the reservoir is documented anywhere? Having said that, I have just re-read the article, and it says that pipes were laid from intakes on the various streams, so perhaps too far west is not a problem after all. Bob1960evens (talk) 22:03, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Purely speculation on my part(not in itself good enough!), but looking at the maps, I'd have thought that a diversion (by pipe) of the headwater stretches of the Llanishen Brook into the Nant Transyrhebog tributary of the Nant Fawr would make a lot of sense, given their separation of only half a mile in the Thornhill area. Of course, Welsh Water would know. cheers Geopersona (talk) 06:32, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
