About deworming pills,.... It is probably a good idea to buy 3 deworming pills per person when you leave. Take the first on the plane or when you first get back. Take the second about a month or so later. Take the third about 3 months after the second pill. There are some very nasty bugs...

I lived 10-11 months of the year(2004-2011) in Los Banos, Laguna---about 50 Km south of Manila General Advice for Canadian Travellers: 1) When outside of Manila or Cebu, have a sufficient supply of pesos. Money can get you out of almost any jam in the Philippines. As a rule keep about 10,000P...

I just viewed "The Trench"---a film about a small unit in the days leading up to the Battle of the Somme in WW1.  I recommend it to all. Bearpaw

I would suggest obtaining a couple of Schaum outline books-----these are available at most university bookstores----they are cheap, quite good but require discipline and effort to use. Two that I would recommend are "BASIC MATHEMATICS with applications to science and technology Second Edition...

I know nothing about IMPs but a simple and effective way to spice up your meals would be to carry your favourite choice of Mrs. Dash spice combos.  They are salt-free, would last a long time in the field as long as closed tightly.  Each bottle is about 100g.  Bearpaw

Yamamoto was really let down by his tactical commander Adm. Nagumo when he failed to take the opportunity to destroy the tank farms, submarine base, drydocks and repair facilities, supply depots and other shore facilities.  Nagumo was blinded by his tactical success in the first two airstrikes...

I read the two books by Turtledove----the first one "Days of Infamy" is quite interesting---I recommend it as a good starting point for thinking about a Hawii invasion.  There are a few points that I disagree with Turtledove on but he has all the essentials covered.  The second book "End of...

Here is a link to a New York Times blurb about Hawking on this topic: http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/09/09/hawking-anticipates-colliders-start/index.html?hp Hawking gives a 1% probability of creating quantum black holes---I do not know if he has actually done the calculations or is just...

Does the Heron have some payload capacity to carry 1 or 2 Fireball mortar rounds that could be dropped as guided bombs?  I think that would go a long way to satisfying MG34's and I-6's complaints.  Just an idea! Bearpaw

Most accelerators create very tiny bits of anti-matter that last for pico-seconds.  A more interesting question is what could you do with a tiny black hole if you could obtain one? Robert Forward did a lot of "out of the box" thinking in this area---his book "Future Magic" outlines how to...

The sun is far from a red giant---the spectral classification of the sun is G2V.   G2 means the sun is a main sequence star whose visible light output peaks in the yellow part of the spectrum----the V means that it is a sub-dwarf star.  In actual fact----if you took a random sample of 100 stars...

Exsarge: Yamamoto considered the failure to send in a third strike against the fuel and repair facilities one of the greatest blunders of the war.  In fact this blunder directly contirbuted to the later battle of Midway by enabling the quick repairs on a damaged aircraft carrier(Yorkton??). I...

Thanks for pointing that out---I did a small Google search on bolt-action rifles but did not bring that one up.  If the Isapore 2A/2A1 rifle, which is essentially the same as the old one except for the NATO standard calibre, is available, I would think that it is a "no-brainer" to acquire them...

George----I am NOT talking about the Magnetic North Pole which wanders every day----I am talking about the axis of rotation of the earth---the true north pole----it moves too!  The first notice of it was in the late 1800's from the more accurate astrometry that became possible then. The...

For the origin of the oil and gas in the Arctic, something to remember is that 55 million years ago the North Pole was not where it currently is.  For various reasons the axis of rotation can suddenly move----in the 1870's or 1880's it moved about 25m.  I am not sure how often it does this but...
