Introduction to Moral Reasoning/The dissertation

The following has been translated from the french philosophy wikibook:

The dissertation is the philosophical exercise par excellence. It permits the evaluation of the assimilation of knowledge by the student, and has the capacity to serve as a personal yet rigourous reflection. These two aspects mean that the dissertation does not reduce to a simple scholastic exercise. Great philosophers have written dissertations, which are also great works. But one cannot expect a student to produce such a work: it is therefore necessary to start by learning to write the dissertation purely as a school exercise, and to this end it is good to formulate some rules which sure enough are a formal, but which guide the reflection and give it the maximum rigour possible.

To succeed in a philosophy dissertation, it is necessary first of all to know that there exist many possibilities of good argument. Thus there is no single method which drives infallibly to success, but many good methods from which the author can choose. The choice of a plan thus indicates the understanding, good or bad, of the subject. However it remains possible to formulate some general rules:

 * a philosophy dissertation divides into three parts (introduction, development, conclusion);

 * there are rules to follow for each of these parts.

types of subject

 * question
 * idea or group of ideas

introduction

 * introduce the subject
 * say what the problems are
 * announce the plan
 * follow the plan

development

 * several types of plan

conclusion

 * recapitulate
 * conclude by answering the question

how to organize oneself

 * read the subject
 * work on the draft
 * write a proper introduction
 * write the development

Displeased Records

Displeased Records was a Dutch independent record label, founded by Lars Eikema and Ron Veltkamp. The label had many Dutch and other extreme metal bands on its roster, but has also re-released albums by Agathocles, Cryptopsy, Infernäl Mäjesty, Sadus, Toxik and Whiplash. The label also had a large mail order division called Discorder.com.

History
Displeased Records was founded in 1992 by Lars Eikema and Ron Veltkamp. In the beginning the main focus was to release compilation CDs from unknown/unsigned artists playing all types of heavy metal, like death metal, thrash metal, etc. After a distribution network was set up Displeased Records started releasing studio albums of metal acts like Nembrionic, Altar, Hybernoid and Celestial Season. In the same period a mail order business was erected, in the beginning under the same moniker of the label name, later changed to Dis-order (a combination of DISpleased and mailORDER). Since 2011, the name was changed to Discorder.

From the second half of the 1990s, Displeased Records licensed cult thrash metal albums from Roadrunner Records, from bands like Infernäl Mäjesty, Pestilence, Whiplash, Toxik and Sadus.

A distribution service was present from the beginning, albeit very small. Later on more and more music shops were provided with the metal albums and shirts that were already sold through the mail order.

In April 2018, Displeased Records went bankrupt.

Talk:Congo (disambiguation)

Nomenclature: Congo Region and Middle Africa
Today I created the article Congo (region) mainly because I felt that it was missing from Template:Regions of the world. Only afterwards did I discover that Congo already exists, but that this article seems to restrict itself to dealing solely with the two Congos, and not the wider, vaguer subregion. What is the preferred option now: should Congo me merged with Congo (region) and redirect to Congo (disambiguation) instead? Please have your say here. Thanks.

And a related issue: I would argue that the UN designation Middle Africa - which currently redirects to Central Africa - is the least ambiguous name for the region, as listed at Template:Africa, just like Southern Africa is used to effectively disambiguate from South Africa. Please respond here. Thanks!  // Big Adamsky •  BA's talk page 10:41, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

The Crossover

The Crossover is a 2012 children's book by American author Kwame Alexander and the winner of the 2015 Newbery Medal and Coretta Scott King Award Honor. The book, which is told entirely through verse, was first published in the United States in hardback on March 18, 2014, through HMH Books for Young Readers.

Reception
Critical reception for The Crossover has been positive. According to Kirkus Reviews, "Poet Alexander deftly reveals the power of the format to pack an emotional punch." In Booklist, Gail Bush called The Crossover "a rare verse novel that is fundamentally poetic rather than using this writing trend as a device." Writing for the Washington Post, Mary Quattlebaum said Alexander was "at the top of his poetic game in this taut, complex tale of the crossover from brash, vulnerable boy to young adult." Poet Cornelius Eady wrote in The New York Times, "The biggest surprise of 'The Crossover' is that, for all the bells and whistles of a young man's game, it is most boldly and certainly a book about tenderness." According to Katrina Hedeen in The Horn Book Magazine, "Alexander brings the novel-in-verse format to a fresh audience with this massively appealing package for reluctant readers, athletes especially." Writing for School Library Journal, Kiera Parrott said, "Alexander has crafted a story that vibrates with energy and heart and begs to be read aloud. A slam dunk." The book has been used in many school curriculums, such as the controversial Wit and Wisdom.

Television adaptation
In March 2021, it was announced that Disney+ had given a pilot order to a television adaptation of the book. Alexander and Damani Johnson will write the pilot and George Tillman Jr. will direct. In May 2021, it was announced that Jalyn Hall and Amir O'Neil were set to star in the pilot. In June 2021, it was announced that Derek Luke, Sabrina Revelle, Skyla I'lece, Deja Monique Cruz and Trevor Raine Bush joined the cast for the pilot. In February 2022, it was announced that Daveed Diggs would narrate the series.

Conarium (video game)

Conarium is a Lovecraftian horror adventure video game, inspired by H. P. Lovecraft's novella At the Mountains of Madness. The game was developed by Turkish game development studio Zoetrope Interactive, published by Dutch indie game publisher Iceberg Interactive, and was first released for Microsoft Windows in June 2017. It was subsequently ported to Linux and macOS in 2018, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2019, and the Nintendo Switch in 2021.

Plot
Conarium follows four scientists in their endeavor to challenge what we normally consider to be the absolute limits of nature. The scientist sought to transcend human consciousness with the use of a so-called Conarium device.

The player controls Frank Gilman, one of the four scientists of the Antarctic expedition. At the beginning of the game Gilman wakes up alone at Upuaut, a research base located in Antarctica. The room where he wakes up has a strange device on the table emitting odd noises and with pulsating lights. Gilman has no idea what the device is, nor has he any recollection of what happened prior to him passing out.

He discovers the research base abandoned, with no trace of the other scientists. Gilman must uncover what happened to the others of his expedition by exploring the Antarctic base and its surroundings. During his search he experiences strange visions and dreams, which feel like memories that he cannot place.

Gameplay
Playing from a first-person perspective, players must explore the Antarctic base to solve the mystery of what happened to the other expedition members. This objective is achieved by exploring the environment and solving puzzles. Players can find and look at notes, journals, and other documents.

Development
Conarium was developed by Zoetrope Interactive, a Turkish indie developer consisting of three members: Galip Kartoğlu, Onur Şamlı, Oral Şamlı. They previously worked on Darkness Within: In Pursuit of Loath Nolder and Darkness Within 2: The Dark Lineage, also published by Iceberg Interactive. Conarium was originally announced as “Mountains of Madness” in 2015. Iceberg Interactive signed the game in July 2016. The game was released on June 6, 2017 for Microsoft Windows.

Versions for Linux and MacOS were released on February 5, 2018.

Conarium was made using the Unreal Engine 4. Having been favourably received by PC gamers; on February 12, 2019 the game found its way onto consoles (PlayStation 4 and Xbox One).

Reception
Conarium received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic. The Telegraph praised the game for its Lovecraftian atmosphere: "It's rare to find a jaunt into the world of the Cthulhu Mythos that stays so true to the feel without retreading old ground, and for that alone, Conarium is a must-play for fans of the tentacled one and his many eldritch buddies", and awarded it four out of five stars. Polygon Philip Kollar noted that the game "Conarium could have pushed deeper, but it stays true to the spirit of Lovecraft's work." and scored the game a 7.5 out of 10. Chris Shive of Hardcore Gamer gave the game a positive review and called attention to its soundtrack, noting that "Conarium soundtrack sets an ominous mood of dread and is effective in creating this Lovecraftian waking nightmare Frank has to navigate."

Conarium was chosen to showcase at IndieCade Festival 2017. Conarium won “The Game of the Year” and “Best PC Game” at the Kristal Piksel (Crystal Pixel) Video Game Awards 2017 ceremony, an annual awards ceremony for the Turkish game industry.

Talk:2006–07 Adelaide United FC season

Timeline
This was extracted from the Timeline on the main Adelaide United FC page, and is in the time frame for this season.

 * August 2006: Adelaide United win the 2006-7 preseason cup Final with a spectacular penalty shootout win over Central Coast Mariners in Gosford.

Adelaide United's sudden rise from nothing serves as a reminder that there is an untapped underlying support for the game across Australia.

The club's spectacular success was vindication for the Football Federation of South Australia (AUFC's licence holder), Gordon Pickard, the club patron and chairman, and the entire South Australian football (soccer) community who had endured much criticism over the state of the local game in recent years.

Convert it into prose, don't use it, or whatever - it's up to you.  Daniel . Bryant  12:05, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Randy Elliot Bennett

Randy Elliot Bennett is an American educational researcher who specializes in educational assessment. He is currently the Norman O. Frederiksen Chair in Assessment Innovation at Educational Testing Service in Princeton, NJ. His research and writing focus on bringing together advances in cognitive science, technology, and measurement to improve teaching and learning. He received the ETS Senior Scientist Award in 1996, the ETS Career Achievement Award in 2005, the Teachers College, Columbia University Distinguished Alumni Award in 2016, Fellow status in the American Educational Research Association (AERA) in 2017, the National Council on Measurement in Education's (NCME) Bradley Hanson Award for Contributions to Educational Measurement in 2019 (with H. Guo, M. Zhang, and P. Deane), the E. F. Lindquist Award from AERA and ACT in 2020, elected membership in the National Academy of Education in 2022, and the AERA Cognition and Assessment Special Interest Group Outstanding Contribution to Research in Cognition and Assessment Award in 2024. Randy Bennett was elected President of both the International Association for Educational Assessment (IAEA), a worldwide organization primarily constituted of governmental and NGO measurement organizations, and the National Council on Measurement in Education (NCME), whose members are employed in universities, testing organizations, state and federal education departments, and school districts.

Publications
Bennett is author or editor of nine books, as well as over 100 journal articles, chapters, and technical reports. Those publications have concentrated on several themes. The 1998 publication, Reinventing Assessment: Speculations on the Future of Large-Scale Educational Testing, presented a three-stage framework for how paper-and-pencil tests would gradually transition to digital form, eventually melding with online activities, blurring the distinction between learning and assessment, and leading to improvements in both pursuits. A series of subsequent publications built upon the work of Robert Glaser, Norman O. Frederiksen, Samuel Messick, James Pellegrino, Lorrie Shepard and others to create a unified model for formative and summative assessments under the Cognitively Based Assessment of, for, and as Learning (CBAL) initiative. This work, noted in the citations for both the E.F. Lindquist Award and his AERA Fellow designation, is described in two journal articles, Transforming K-12 Assessment and Cognitively Based Assessment of, for, and as Learning. The latter publication articulated assumptions for the CBAL assessment model in a detailed "theory of action," which described the assessment system components, intended outcomes, and the action mechanisms that should lead to those outcomes, predating the generally recommended use of that device in operational testing programs.

The journal article, Formative Assessment: A Critical Review, questioned the magnitude of efficacy claims, the meaningfulness of existing definitions, and the general absence of disciplinary considerations in the conceptualization and implementation of formative assessment. The article encouraged a deeper examination of premises, more careful consideration of effectiveness claims, and a move toward incorporating domain considerations directly into the structure and practice of formative assessment.

Two reports--Online Assessment in Mathematics and Writing and Problem Solving in Technology Rich Environments --documented studies that helped set the stage for moving the US National Assessment of Educational Progress from paper presentation to computer delivery.

Several recent articles called attention to the need for testing companies and state education departments to exercise caution in using artificial intelligence (AI) methods for scoring consequential tests. That theme was developed in a book chapter, Validity and Automated Scoring, and summarized in The Changing Nature of Educational Assessment. These publications note that in automated essay scoring, for example, caution is needed because of the inscrutability of some AI scoring methods, their use of correlates that can be easily manipulated for undeserved score gain, and the routine practice of building scoring algorithms to model the judgment of operational human graders, thereby unintentionally incorporating human biases.

Bennett's latest work centers on equity in assessment. The commentary, The Good Side of COVID-19, makes the case that standardized testing, and educational assessment more generally, must be rethought so that they better align with the multicultural, pluralistic society the US is rapidly becoming. In a follow-up article, Toward a Theory of Socioculturally Responsive Assessment, he assembles assessment design principles from multiple literatures and uses them to fashion a definition, theory, and suggested path for implementing measures more attuned to the social, cultural, and other relevant characteristics of diverse individuals and the contexts in which they live. That line of thinking is elaborated upon in Let's Agree to (Mostly) Agree: A Response to Solano-Flores.

Nathan O'Neill

Nathan O'Neill (born 23 November 1974) is an Australian former professional road racing cyclist. During his career, O'Neill became an eight-time winner of the Australian National Time Trial Championships and an Olympian in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games.

Early life
O'Neill was born in Sydney in 1974. He began cycling in 1989, when he attended a 16 kilometre handicap race before school, following the suggestion by a friend. He went on to win numerous medals in the junior ranks at the Australian National Track Championships. At the Junior UCI Track Cycling World Championships in 1992, O'Neill won the bronze medal as part of the team pursuit squad. In 1995, he won the silver medal in the road time trial at the Oceania Cycling Championships whilst nursing a broken pelvis. He was an Australian Institute of Sport scholarship holder.

Career
From 1 September 1999, he rode for the Navigare – Gaerne team as a trainee rider before turning professional for the team in 2000 at the age of 25, under new sponsors Panaria – Gaerne. He represented Australia at the 2000 Summer Olympics, finishing 19th in the individual time trial. He stayed with the same team for 2001–2002, under Panaria – Fiordo's sponsorship. O'Neill won the bronze medal in the individual time trial at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester, United Kingdom.

In 2003, O'Neill signed with the Saturn Cycling Team, 2004 for Colavita – Olive Oil, 2005 for Navigators Insurance Cycling Team and finally for Health Net Pro Cycling Team in 2006.

At the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, Australia, 21 March 2006, O'Neill won the Gold Medal in the Time Trial finishing in a time of 48:37.29.

He became the Australian National Time Trial Champion for the eighth time in January 2007, it was the fourth consecutive time.

Adverse Finding
On 12 August 2007, at the Tour of Elk Grove, O'Neill provided a sample which tested positive for the appetite suppressant drug phentermine. O'Neill received notification of this on 23 September 2007. Later, the B sample also tested positive, he admitted that he had used the medicine for the prescribed purpose out of competition. The drug was not banned for use out-of-competition, and O'Neill maintains that his error is due to a longer than expected clearance time for the drug, compounded by another supplement which increased his urinary pH that he was also taking in the days leading up to the event. On 6 November 2007, O'Neill was terminated by the Health Net Pro Cycling Team.

On 13 June 2008 the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled that O'Neill bore "no significant negligence" in registering a positive finding for Phentermine, and was given a 15-month suspension, from 12 August 2007 to 12 November 2008.

The Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA), the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the UCI jointly appealed to the CAS to increase the suspension period "on the grounds that the athlete had not demonstrated no significant fault or negligence". The CAS also stated that "Also of importance is the evidence from Mr O'Neill that he took the risk because he was of the view that without Phentermine he was not going to be competitive. Mr O'Neill therefore self-medicated with a view of gaining a competitive advantage." The suspension was extended to the maximum period of two years, due to come to end on 13 June 2010.

Personal life
O'Neill currently lives with his wife in Athens, Georgia, in the United States. In 2012, he founded Dingo Race Productions, LLC. Race productions include Tour of the Southern Highlands, In 2016, Nathan started OnEdge Sportsales, LLC with his then fiancé. OnEdge Sportsales is an independent sales company, representing multiple top brands throughout the Southeast. O'Neill has a daughter, born in 2006 to his former wife.

Michael Wright (architect)

Alec Michael John Wright, CMG (19 September 1912 – 26 January 2018) was a chartered surveyor and Director of Public Works of Hong Kong. He was a longtime colonial civil servant and chief architect of the Public Works Department. He was also an official member of the Legislative Council and Urban Council. He was responsible for many infrastructure and housing projects and advocated for private bathroom and kitchen in every unit of the housing estate which is known as the "Wright Principle". He was the founding member and president of the Hong Kong Institute of Architects.

Biography
Wright was born in Hong Kong on 19 September 1912 into a civil servant family. He was educated at the Brentwood School in the United Kingdom and became an architect. He joined the Hong Kong government in 1938 and began to work at the former Public Works Department. He was interned during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong.

After the war, Wright became the chief architect of the Public Works Department and played an instrumental role in the massive effort to house the millions of refugees fleeing to Hong Kong from China. The first generation of public housing estates, built in haste, resembled army barracks, and had shared bathrooms. In 1952 he designed the first public rental housing estate with private bathrooms and kitchens, at Sheung Li Uk, for the Hong Kong Housing Society, in which his design became known as the "Wright Principle". He was also founding member and president of the Hong Kong Institute of Architects in 1958.

In 1963, he became Director of Public Works in which he served until 1969. In this capacity, Wright was also an official member of the Legislative Council and Urban Council.

In 1969, he was appointed Hong Kong Commissioner in London. He retired from the civil service in 1973. Hong Kong Housing Society's Lai Tak Tsuen in Tai Hang, built in 1975 and 1976, was named after Wright's Chinese name.

He resided in Knightsbridge, London after his retirement. He commented on Hong Kong affairs occasionally, including the proposed demolition of the Government Hill in 2012. Wright died in January 2018 at the age of 105.

User:Saadd naeem/Ahmed Saeed,the rising star?

THIS youngster might as well become the new generation hit singer.Although he remarks that his career may lie outside the world of music. Ahmed Saeed,aged 11,is currently situated in Islamabad,Pakistan.His school ,schola nova,is a normal private school.He lives in an apartment and enjoys it best there.One of his best hobbies is cricket.It means the most to him,while I was interviewing him,he said,"if I were to be given the choice of spending eternity playing cricket or getting an xbox360,I would have chosen,number 1."His favorite food is the traditional murgh achari gosht. What he is known for at school is not for getting high numbers,or sports as his school does not support cricket but for his sensational singing.Five time winner of singing competitions,this songbird has no difficulty in flattening his opponents.His best friend Haider Suhail as Ahmed told me,truly inspired him into singing.He was,before Ahmed,no.1. Ahmed also said"I just dont see the point of class rooms.They should just make us sit outside.I really can't concentrate without some distraction."Ahmed is the number 1 troublemaker in his class.What with climbing gas pipes to awarding prizes to the best teacher in the school.To him humor is of vital importance.Without it he says,you can't survive the depression.Just in these times we need to keep our heads held high and hope Imran khan is elected. Whether or not Ahmed succeeds in whatever field he chooses,it is upto. him and God.

Orphaned references in 2019–2021 Sudanese protests
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of 2019–2021 Sudanese protests's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Wikipedia:Reference desk/Archives/Miscellaneous/2019 September 16

= September 16 =

Alchohol/Flavored Extracts—where is the limit?
I know most common baking extracts, ie. vanilla, rum, and almond, are made with alcohol as to not add moisture to a recipe while also adding flavor. However, if it’s alcohol, wouldn’t it behave like it if drank straight? I don’t know the percentage, but I’m guessing high, since it tastes like alcohol if you taste it, could you taste it? I’m imagining it’s similar to drinking rubbing alcohol, which you shouldn’t do, but where is the limit where it differs from being an alcoholic beverage to a cooking ingredient? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 10:45, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * In the US, vanilla extract is 35% alcohol at minimum. You can drink it, but the high level of vanilla flavoring might put most people off. But see here: https://www.medicaldaily.com/vanilla-extract-binge-leads-drunk-driving-walmart-parking-lot-woman-hit-dwi-317494 . As for your comment about rubbing alcohol, that is isopropanol. That is completely different from ethanol and is metabolized differently with different toxicities. --Khajidha (talk) 11:57, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Also note that alcohol tastes more bitter to some of us than others: . Thus, to the more sensitive, that amount of alcohol will taste unpleasant. Of course, a few drops mixed in with a meal won't be noticeable. SinisterLefty (talk) 12:16, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Especially after baking (the most common use for these extracts that I know of), where most of the alcohol is "burned off". --Khajidha (talk) 12:22, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * That is correct. Just to provide a source for your claim, according to this, it takes about 3 hours to cook all of the alcohol out of food.  I don't know whether your making a cookie or a cake or whatever with your vanilla extract, but it's going to be toast if you bake it for 3 hours!  There will be some alcohol remaining.  That being said, it will be very small; a typical recipe might call for a teaspoon per batch of cookies, which might have a final volume of 4 cups or so.  There are almost 200 teaspoons in 4 cups, so we're talking much less than 1% ABV in the final mix, even BEFORE cooking.  -- Jayron 32 12:35, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Khajidha said "most", not "all". It's also not necessarily linear. That is, if it takes 3 hours to burn off all the alcohol, that doesn't mean it takes 1.5 hours to burn off half. And ethanol, being highly volatile, can also evaporate when sitting in bowl waiting to be used. SinisterLefty (talk) 12:41, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * So amended. -- Jayron 32 12:57, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Note that your source speaks of foods "baked or simmered in alcohol". This is a far cry from using small amounts of flavored extracts, most especially if we are baking cookies where that initial small amount is spread into still smaller amounts. You can evaporate a lot more of the alcohol in less time, with less heat, once it is spread thin. Just like the moisture on a freshly mopped floor will evaporate faster than the same volume of water in a pot. --Khajidha (talk) 14:25, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * True, and even more importantly, when I said "we're talking much less than 1% ABV in the final mix", at that level were not talking any meaningful alcohol even before it is baked. -- Jayron 32 14:44, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

 * As far as intoxication, yes, but it could still affect the taste, especially for those with a genetic sensitivity. SinisterLefty (talk) 14:55, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * It is not detectable by the human tongue at those concentrations. For 4 % ethanol, means for all sensations were similar and fell between barely detectable and weak.  We're at LEAST an order of magnitude smaller than that.  This study found that at about 4%, alcohol had a sweet taste, but at lower concentrations was mostly undetectable.  -- Jayron 32 15:44, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Your first link states "For ethanol in water, the taste detection threshold in humans (Mattes and DiMeglio 2001) ... approximately ~1.4 % (v/v). In humans, ethanol at and just above threshold has been shown to be predominately bitter (Mattes and DiMeglio 2001), although burn was not provided as a response option." And for those of us with two copies of the "bitter ethanol gene", it should be even lower (discussed here, although there also seems to be an unidentified gene involved ). The study results seem to vary widely, probably because they failed to separate people based on this gene, in which case there should be 3 overlapping bell curves, a small (low alcohol %) curve for those with 2 copies of the highly sensitive gene, a large curve for one copy, and another small curve at the highest concentrations for no copies. The source I linked to above put the frequency of this gene at around 50%, which should produce about 25% with 2 copies and 25% with none. Those who describe ethanol as sweet are likely in the "no copies" group. SinisterLefty (talk) 16:07, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * 1.4% is still much higher than the amount in the cookie. Even assuming 0% had evaporated during cooking, the concentration of 1 teaspoon of 35% ABV extract in 4 cups of batter would be 1/192 * 35% = 0.18%.  That's well below the threshold you quote.  Still, people are variable, and I would never say that not a single person would have such detection levels.  I'd grant you some smallish number would.  But on the balance, no, that is not a detectable level of alcohol.  -- Jayron 32 16:28, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * This conversation led me to discover (in the Columbus sense) that there's such a thing as edible alcohol. Hack (talk) 06:39, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

 * That seems to use gelatin and sugar to make the alcohol and water more solid, but another approach is to put the liquid inside a solid crust, such as an alcoholic version of a cherry cordial. The two approaches could also be combined. And if you don't mind it being soggy, something like an alcoholic version of tiramisu could also work, where instead of soaking in coffee alone, a combo of coffee and Baileys Irish Cream might work. SinisterLefty (talk) 04:13, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Italy in WWII
Hi All, I am looking for an article discussing how Italy changed sides during WWII. I was under the impression for many years that Italy changed sides midway through the war. But having skimmed the Mussolini article it would appear that he was in power until 1945 when he fled and was killed. Now I find this hard to understand. Is my long held premise incorrect? Italy did not change sides during the war? Thanks all. Anton <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 17:03, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

 * He was earlier arrested by the Italians (Benito_Mussolini), but then rescued by the Nazis, who put him back in power over the part of Northern Italy the Germans occupied. Italy "switched sides" until he was restored, but after that the "Italian Social Republic" was more like Vichy France, only allied with Germany at the point of the a gun. The 2nd time the communist Partisans got him, and were in no mood to take further chances, so executed him. SinisterLefty (talk) 17:05, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Italy in World War II might help. See also Fall of the Fascist regime in Italy (the 25th of July 1943), Armistice of Cassibile (September 1943 Italian surrender to Allies), Italian Social Republic (1943-1945, Puppet state under Musso in northern Italy), and Italian Co-belligerent Army, Italian Co-belligerent Navy, and Italian Co-belligerent Air Force (Italian forces fighting alongside the Allies). DuncanHill (talk) 17:22, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Before the ink was dry on the armistice, the Germans (who had poured troops into Italy in the preceding weeks) began Operation Achse, the disarmament of Italian forces. So instead of fighting Italians in Italy, the Allies had to fight Germans.
 * The rescue of Mussolini, the Gran Sasso raid on 12 September 1943, was a spectacular success; but thereafter he was a puppet of the Germans and was effectively under house arrest by the SS. He spent his time writing his memoirs. Alansplodge (talk) 19:19, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

Geometry/Parallel and Perpendicular Lines and Planes

Parallel Lines in a Plane
Two coplanar lines are said to be parallel if they never intersect. For any given point on the first line, its distance to the second line is equal to the distance between any other point on the first line and the second line. The common notation for parallel lines is "||" (a double pipe); it is not unusual to see "//" as well. If line m is parallel to line n, we write "m || n". Lines in a plane either coincide, intersect in a point, or are parallel. Controversies surrounding the Parallel Postulate lead to the development of non-Euclidean geometries.

Parallel Lines and Special Pairs of Angles
When two (or more) parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the following angle relationships hold:
 * corresponding angles are congruent
 * alternate exterior angles are congruent
 * same-side interior angles are supplementary

Theorems Involving Parallel Lines

 * If a line in a plane is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines, it is perpendicular to the other line as well.
 * If a line in a plane is parallel to one of two parallel lines, it is parallel to both parallel lines.
 * If three or more parallel lines are intersected by two or more transversals, then they divide the transversals proportionally.

Wushi oil field

Wushi Oil Field  is an oil and gas field located in the South China Sea Exclusive Economic Zone, 30 miles from Zhanjiang, off the southern coast of Guangdong, China.

The region has been the site of new oil and gas related explorations prospect since 2016 though discoveries and surveys have been carried out in the region since 2005 in blocks 17/08 and 16/05.

History and development
Since early 2000, exploration for oil had been well underway in the Tarim basin region where the Wushi sag and Wensu uplift are located. Research by the Petro China institute for oil exploration had found that the compression anticlines that had formed during the late Himalayan tectonic movement had made the Wushi sag a favorable site for petroleum accumulation.

In 2010, CNOOC started to auction oil blocks in the Wushi basin to national as well as international companies when a total of thirteen oil blocks were auctioned for joint development. Block 23/07 lying in the Wushi Sag and partly on Qixi Massif of Beibuwan Basin was auctioned in 2010 to foreign companies who wanted to develop it jointly with CNOOC. This was the first batch of open blocks in China being auctioned to foreign companies.

In 2011, Block 23/08 lying in the western part of the Wushi sag in a depth of 15 to 30m and covering an area of 1,210 square kilometers was auctioned. By then, Two wells had already been drilled in this block. As further exploration was undertaken in the region, the first commercial discovery of Wushi 17-2 was made in Wushi Sag in the Western part of South China Sea.

In 2014, CNOOC made a further appraisal of Wushi 17-2 which was declared "mid-sized oil and gas structure".

In 2016, CNOOC and the Zhanjiang government allocated 63 billion yuan ($9.2 billion) for projects around Zhanjiang during the 13th Five-Year Plan period (2016–20). This includes the Wushi 17-2 oil field in Wushi Sag, Wushi oil field. The Wushi oil field project is the first oilfield under Zhanjiang's administration and also Guangdong's first offshore oil and gas field in shallow waters.

Phase 1 of the technical proposal passed review in February 2016 and the environmental impact assessment received the national government's approval in 2017. Zhanjiang city and Wushi oil field are expected to be part of China's Belt and Road Initiative and is expected to provide clean energy to the residents of Guangdong.

Though traditionally, oil companies assign code names to offshore prospects early in the exploration effort to help ensure secrecy, Wushi oil field was named by the holding companies CNOOC and COOEC in relation to its location as well as a reference to Chinese culture and aspirations.

Block 23/07
Location: Wushi Sag and partly on Qixi Massif of Beibuwan Basin

Depth of water: 18m to 40m

Area: 1649 km2.

Seismic data: 5012 km of 2D seismic data

Number of wells drilled so far: Two.

Block 23/08
Location: western Wushi Sag

Description: covering a part of Qixi Massif of Beibuwan Basin

Depth of water: 15m to 30m

Area: 1,212 km2.

Seismic data: 4,190 km of 2D and 118km2 of 3D seismic data

Co-ordinates: 109°11′E	20°40′ N / 109°24′E 20°40′N / 109°24′E	20°20′N / 109°04′N 20°20′N / 109°04′E	20°35′N / 109°11′E 20°35′N

Number of wells drilled so far: Two.

Block 23/10
Developed by CNOOC in co-operation with UK based Cairn Energy under a Production Sharing Contract. the 2,945 km2 region of Block 23/10 lies in the shallow waters of the Wushi Sag area in the eastern Beibu Gulf. The contract is a standard seven-year, three-phase contract consisting of a work program of 2,000 km of seismic acquisition and one wildcat required in the first phase. Seismic recording commenced in 1996, and was followed by drilling in the region in 1997. The Eocene Liushagang Formation provides the source and reservoir in the area. This tract contains the WU 16-1 discovery that was drilled by the French company Total in the early 1980s, but which was not developed at that time, since it was considered sub-commercial.

Location
The oil field is located in the South China sea, 100 miles from Zhanjiang, a provincial level city in the Southern part of Guangdong province, South China, Close to Nansha, Hainan. China state owned oil exploration company COOEC is the operator of the oil field and principal developer of the oil field with large scale support from the state owned parent company CNOOC. This is the first oil field off China which will be developed along with the local municipality (in this case, the municipal government of Zhanjiang). Zhanjiang city also has one of the largest oil and gas fabrication shipyards of CNOOC Engineering in China and this is expected to support the requirements of the Wushi oil field.

Geological target
Due for commencing operations in 2017-2018, the oil field is expected to have an initial output of 1 mtpa according to the Zhanjiang municipality and Zhanjiang offshore petroleum taxation bureau. Its reserves are expected to last for twenty years after production commences.

Exploration, Oil blocks and entities
The Wushi oil field consists of a number of oil blocks, ranging in area from a few square kilometres up to a few thousand square kilometres. Each block itself consists of a number of oil wells, developed by the entities operating each block.

Python Programming/Numbers

Python 2.x supports 4 built-in numeric types - int, long, float and complex. Of these, the long type has been dropped in Python 3.x - the int type is now of unlimited length by default. You don’t have to specify what type of variable you want; Python does that automatically.

 * Int: The basic integer type in python, equivalent to the hardware 'c long' for the platform you are using in Python 2.x, unlimited in length in Python 3.x.
 * Long: Integer type with unlimited length. In python 2.2 and later, Ints are automatically turned into long ints when they overflow. Dropped since Python 3.0, use int type instead.
 * Float: This is a binary floating point number. Longs and Ints are automatically converted to floats when a float is used in an expression, and with the true-division / operator. In CPython, floats are usually implemented using the C languages double, which often yields 52 bits of significand, 11 bits of exponent, and 1 sign bit, but this is machine dependent.
 * Complex: This is a complex number consisting of two floats. Complex literals are written as a + bj where a and b are floating-point numbers denoting the real and imaginary parts respectively.

In general, the number types are automatically 'up cast' in the following order:

Int → Long → Float → Complex. The farther to the right you go, the higher the precedence.

The result of divisions is somewhat confusing. In Python 2.x, using the / operator on two integers will return another integer, using floor division. For example, 5/2 will give you 2. At least one of the operands must be float to get true division, e.g. 5/2. or 5./2 (the dot makes a number a float) will yield 2.5. Starting with Python 2.2 this behavior can be changed to true division by the future division statement from __future__ import division. In Python 3.x, the result of using the / operator is always true division (you can ask for floor division explicitly by using the // operator since Python 2.2). This illustrates the behavior of the / operator in Python 2.2+:

For operations on numbers, see chapters ../Basic Math/ and ../Math/.

The following phrase appears in the ¨conclusion¨ section: the Why always precludes the What and How. I can´t make any sense of this. Perhaps ´precludes´ is the wrong word? --BigChicken 10:12, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Maybe it needs an extra sentence or two - feel free to reword as you see fit! The gist is: we don't build networks just for the hell of it, there's some business need that precludes the design and construction of the network. Need Internet access? DSL modem. Branch office connection? T1. International multi-site switched VPN? Well, that's a tall order, but in every case the Why comes first... What and How come after. Dfrauzel 19:39, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Maybe renaming the section would help ... it seems odd "conclusion" is in the middle of the content, and also it's trying to motivate new thought (and answer a question), rather then "conclude" anything. Maybe a better title is "Motivation for having a network"? Historybuff 20:52, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Several of those "delete" statements were made in the same minute of time. Billy Hathorn (talk) 19:59, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep The notability rules say nothing about mayors or the size of their cities. Portland, Maine, has a population 5,000 larger than Bossier City, but it has 24 mayors all deemed notable with their own Wikipedia articles. There are ten articles on Bossier City mayors, all but two recently submitted.

Bangor, Maine, a city about half the size of Bossier City, has eight mayors on Wikipedia and twelve city council members. Many times city council members are excluded from Wikipedia unless they have held other offices. There are no articles on Bossier City Council members.

Here is a listing of certain cities, followed by population, and number of mayoral Wikipedia articles:
 * Scranton, Pennsylvania, 76,000, 6
 * Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, 50,000, 6
 * Burlington, Vermont, 42,000, 6
 * Augusta, Maine, 19,000, 7
 * New London, Connecticut, 28,000, 5
 * Terre Haute, Indiana, 61,000, 4
 * Wasilla, Alaska, 8,000, 5
 * Hoboken, New Jersey, 50,000, 23
 * Juneau, Alaska, 31,000, 18
 * Key West, Florida, 25,000, 8
 * Medford, Oregon, 56,000, 12
 * Norwalk, Connecticut, 85,600, 87
 * East Orange, New Jersey, 64,000, 6
 * Taunton, Massachusetts, 56,000, 13
 * Wilmington, Delaware, 70,000, 10
 * Santa Fe, New Mexico, 70,000, 10
 * Ashland, Kentucky, 22,000, 27
 * Melbourne, Florida, 76,000, 33
 * Fairbanks, Alaska, 32,000, 7
 * Missoula, Montana, 66,000, 16
 * Lancaster, Pennsylvania, 59,000, 41

So Bossier City, Louisiana, 61,000 10 is consistent with the above listing.

Mr. Anding died in office in 1983. There are sources here showing his notability. All these Bossier City mayors should be considered notable, even if more material on them would be desirable though not yet located. Billy Hathorn (talk) 04:38, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * comment - Wikipedia also says notability is not determined by similar articles. See WP:WHATABOUTX.
 * Comment If you look closely at the articles about the mayors from those towns, you'll see that most of them went on to do more notable things (i.e., become a governor or member of congress). OhNo itsJamie  Talk 15:38, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Note In Ashland, Kentucky, only three of 26 mayors with Wikipedia articles served in other offices, one a county judge, another a state senator, and a third a U.S. representative. Three or four of the other 23 mayors were previously city council members. All Ashland mayors listed here have been deemed notable.Billy Hathorn (talk) 18:31, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - WP:POLOUTCOMES notes that "Mayors of cities of at least regional prominence have usually survived AFD, although the article should say more than just 'Jane Doe is the mayor of Cityville'."

 * Note: Mr. Anding was president of the Louisiana Municipal Assn. in 1981; that made him the top mayor in the state for a year.

 * Keep. With all respect to the good faith of every participant here, I sense a tendency to equate "city of regional importance" with "city I've heard of". From the standpoint of Wikipedians based in East and West Coast urban centers, or outside the USA, Louisiana occupies little mind space, and "Bossier City" is a ridiculous-sounding name. To those unfamiliar with the region, it doesn't evoke a city larger than (say) Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (which it is).  We should pay attention to the population numbers and avoid jumping to an impressionistic conclusion. Kestenbaum (talk) 21:47, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete He is NOT notable per WP:POLITICIAN, since he was not mayor of a city of regional prominence; Bossier City isn't even the parish seat. And population numbers are irrelevant; despite assertions that 50,000 or 100,000 or whatever population makes a mayor automatically notable, no such number has ever achieved consensus. It doesn't matter if some other mayors of some other cities have articles; WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a valid argument. He also fails WP:GNG; all coverage is about routine local matters (he fired a police officer, he inspected tornado damage, etc.) --MelanieN (talk) 02:24, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * P.S. I would also be OK with Richard Arthur Norton's suggestion (above) of a redirect to the city article (which surprisingly does not have a list of its former mayors, but it could). --MelanieN (talk) 03:06, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment notable as commander of Barksdale Air Force Base and as president of the Louisiana Municipal Assn. from 1980 to 1981. The Bossier City article has the mayors and their dates at the bottom in a box. Billy Hathorn (talk) 04:26, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * OK, good. Since the mayors are listed in a template, a redirect to the article could be accepted in place of a delete. About his military career, he was a colonel; that is not a rank that grants automatic notability. Neither does being president of the non-notable Louisiana Municipal Association. --MelanieN (talk) 15:40, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Had you heard of it before this? Geogene (talk) 02:06, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. It was well known in even the 1940s for The Bossier Strip, which was subsequently superseded by casinos. Even if I had never heard of the community, I wouldn't favor removing all of this material. It's what is there from an Internet search. Billy Hathorn (talk) 03:48, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment Mr. Anding was head of LMA, which made him the choice of his mayoral colleagues statewide in 1980. That is like being president of a state bar association or a state historical association. Makes him at the top of his profession. Billy Hathorn (talk) 05:33, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Neither of which confers notability. I have no doubt that Mayor Anding was at the pinnacle of his profession. Not just anyone is entrusted with that office in a city of 10,000 people, much less 80,000. But I'm not sure that he's notable enough for an encyclopedia about him, according to the current rules that apply to local politicians. Geogene (talk) 18:50, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
