Please refer me to a good “World Map” with all the intricacies available that will not require an internet connection on usage. 43.245.120.83 (talk) 19:03, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Depends. Are you looking for something like a wall map or a world atlas? — 2606:A000:4C0C:E200:0:0:0:2 (talk) 20:19, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Android Package Kit (APK) is the package file format used by the Android operating system for distribution and installation of mobile apps and middleware. This video shows use of a free GPS Navigation Android App that has maps of USA, Canada and World. Alternatively, while Google Maps is normally used on-line, it is possible to preload an Android device with map to work as GPS Navigator without internet connection.

Bag
1) List of possible consisted items available in a travel bag?

2) List of possible items that you could/should carry while travelling around the world? E.g., Wallet, Smart phone, Keys and locks, Compass, and ‘what else’?

 * Here is guide to packing for travel, here  is another. There are many similar lists, so perhaps we can help you better if you tell us more about what you want to know. You may also be interested in the notion of "Every day carry", which itself lots of lists and blogs associated.  SemanticMantis (talk) 21:35, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

SUICIDE OF 101 AIRBORNE DIV. CHIEF OF STAFF WW2 BELGIUM
In the book, "Killing Patton"by Bill O'Reilly, there is a sentence referring to the former 101st Airborne Division's Chief of Staff that shot himself which was one of the factors that led to the assignment of Gen. McAuliffe to lead the 101st Airborne Division to Werbomont but they only got as far as Bastogne, Belgium during WW2.

Could you please provide the name of the former 101st Airborne Division Chief of Staff who shot himself? I have exhausted the sources that I have access to. The military was of no help either.2605:A000:BBC4:8100:1D68:F665:C882:804 (talk) 19:34, 2 June 2017 (UTC)


 * It appears to be Raymond D. Millener. His cause of death is only hinted at this memorial, but is more explicit from a google-translation of this German forum. →(here) — 2606:A000:4C0C:E200:0:0:0:2 (talk) 20:14, 2 June 2017 (UTC) Corrected:2606:A000:4C0C:E200:0:0:0:2 (talk) 00:19, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

Logical fallacy
What type of logical fallacy is the following: A is bad; B is the opposite of A; therefore B is good. — 2606:A000:4C0C:E200:0:0:0:2 (talk) 21:33, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
 * First, define "bad" and "good". ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 22:41, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Although I have a specific example in mind, I am looking for the term regarding the general case; i.e.: an agreed upon premise is that A is a bad thing (harmful, damaging, detrimental, injurious, hurtful, inimical, destructive, ruinous, deleterious, etc.). Likewise for "good" (however, this is the debatable conclusion). — 2606:A000:4C0C:E200:0:0:0:2 (talk) 23:15, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Things that are harmful, damaging, etc., cannot be categorically declared "bad". ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 23:22, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
 * This is a question about formal logic. The definition of "good" or "bad" does not matter for this question. He could define good as "blue" and bad as "not blue" and it would not change the question one iota. ApLundell (talk) 16:09, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Without defining things, your statement is, "A implies Bad. Not A, therefore not bad." This is a narrower form of Denying the antecedent, narrow further if you insist "opposite of A" rather than "not A". Someguy1221 (talk) 23:33, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The "opposite" of harmful is "not harmful". The opposite of damaging is "not damaging". And so on. Those would seem to fit the rules of logic. The best that can be said about "good" and "bad" is that the opposite of each respectively are "not good" and "not bad". ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 00:26, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
 * [edit conflict]
 * "Good" and "bad" are postulates (definition irrelevant).
 * Thanks for the link -- I'll check it out. — 2606:A000:4C0C:E200:0:0:0:2 (talk) 00:31, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

analyses of readings that deals with globalization
Is there a website that shows the analysis of some of the articles or readings that deals globalization like for example Benjamin Barber's Jihad vs McWorld, Immanuel Wallerstein's The World System, Leslie Sklair's Sociology of the global system and Complex Interdependence by Robert Keohane and Joseph Nye?

 * If a PDF counts as a website, here's Waheeda Rana's Theory of Complex Interdependence: A Comparative Analysis of Realist and Neoliberal Thoughts. Seems complicated. I suppose it might not hurt to check the rest of the International Journal of Business and Social Science. Seems to be their cup of tea. InedibleHulk (talk) 02:31, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
