Men and women serving in the military forces may be deployed overseas to a variety of training or reserve areas, or they may even be sent for active duty to a battle zone. The commanding officers will issue orders to provide these service personnel with all needed gear and supplies. A military medical kit is part of the official equipment that most soldiers receive, but individual soldiers may need to request specialized items or check to be sure that they have all the necessary things that may possibly be needed during a tour of duty.
Most kits are designed to carry basic supplies that will meet the usual known or anticipated medical needs, like blisters, cuts, sunburns, or muscle soreness. Other supplies help to prepare temporary emergency care for extreme wounds, critical exposures to toxins or environmental hazards, and side effects of ecosystem and climate adjustments. Since no portable kit could hold all the possible equipment and supplies that might be needed, it is up to the medical officer to design a generic list for most of the company's needs based on prevailing conditions. Thus, space and weight are limited in a medical pack due to competing equipment needs that the soldier must carry, so it is important to review the kit periodically and discard expired items while adding new ones that are needed for changing health or duty needs.
Wound care is a primary consideration. Assorted bandages should include large and area-size adhesive strips, a gauze bandage approximately 2" x 5 yards (or of similar proportions), square gauze pads, and adhesive tape, along with butterfly wound closure strips. Foot relief or blister pads, as well as eye wash and eye pads, should be included. A small tube of antibiotic ointment, another of burn cream, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol prep pads, and moist towelettes are useful for many situations, as well. Soap can be brought if room allows.
In case of bleeding injuries or superficial surgery needs, other types of tools and supplies can be added to the medical pack. Sterilized tweezers and scissors, EMT shears, a blood stopper kit, ammonia inhalants, disposable gloves, a syringe with needle, latex tubing, stethoscope, flashlight, an oral thermometer, and cotton swabs make useful additions. Don't forget a small medical manual that pertains specifically to the type of conditions the soldier is likely to encounter. One that is enclosed in plastic to protect it from the elements is especially useful.
Pain management supplies are a routine component of any soldier's medical pack. Pain relievers like Tylenol or Ibuprofen are important to include, along with an antihistamine product. Those who may have special medication needs should arrange to bring along any prescription products they may likewise need.
If there is a reasonable chance of bodily injury, an arm splint and cast plaster may be dispensed, along with a sling or binder, if space permits. In some units, the medic is responsible for managing these and other supplies that may be more randomly needed, so the soldier will not have to take these items along.
Depending on other equipment needs and packaging, a medical kit might contain water purification supplies, an emetic, a blood pressure cuff, and earplugs. A gas mask could be part of the medical kit or fit with field supplies, based on its design and how the other things are packed, allowing for space and accessibility in the event the mask is needed. Kits can be rearranged occasionally to help soldiers keep handy the items they are most likely to need for a particular assignment. If a solder is unsure about whether to take along certain supplies, he or she should check with the medical officer.
Each medical supply bag will be standardized to that base of operations, and then perhaps tailored somewhat to individual soldiers' needs. In some cases, weight or space may prohibit the inclusion of everything mentioned above, so adjustments will need to be made. The ultimate goal is to provide triage and emergency care to protect the soldier until he or she can return to base for more thorough evaluation and treatment.

QUESTION:
Is it worth it to go to the mineral springs in Pamukkale, Turkey?
I am taking a 2 week trip to Turkey and Greece in April. We were thinking about taking an overnight to Pamukkale to see the mineral springs. They look so gorgeous in pictures, but The Lonely Planet travel guide says it doesnt live up to the hype and its very poluted and touristy. Has anyone ever been? Is it worth it?-
ANSWER:
i've been there, for me it's worth it. right in general it's touristy and crowded, but it depends on the season... actually it was polluted until few years ago, but after i heard from a friend who lives around pamukkale that lately due to measures taken to decrase the pollution it wasnt polluted anymore, and the travertines look white. in the link it tells they are cleaned, in turkish.*the biggest pollution is allan d in turkey section, great that he cant pollute turkey physically.

Turkey....Hissaronu....Olu Deniz...price guide...?
hello my family and i are travelling to hissaronu/turkey in a few weeks,
can anybody who has returned recentley tell me an average price guide ...beer...a family meal...excursions...etc...
we are staying at the asena holiday village ...anyone with any feedback
many thanks-
ANSWER:
I went there last year - best holiday EVER! We found the food/drinks to be more exp than we thought, eating out in some of the restaurants was almost the same price as eating out here. But we found an amazing kebab place along the front of the main strip, you walk up and order and wait for it and they have loads of benches and seats along the beach. It's really chilled out cheap and lovely, lovely food. Highly recommend it. Was less than £8 each I think with a drink. You have to do turkish baths - go to Belcekiz beach hotel or something like that, it's by far the best turkish bath in OD. Great for all the family, we ended up having a right laugh with another family on there, it's a good experience. Price wise I think that was about £10, we paid more as had massage. I'd just say don't go there thinking it's gonna be as cheap as Europe, but anyway it's better than Europe and well worth it. Hope that helps!

QUESTION:
Classical Turkey, Greece and Bulgaria in 11 days?
I will be flying in and out of Istanbul and will be there for 11 days from April 1 this year. I am wondering what would be the best tourist route to see Classical Turkey, Greece (and maybe a glimpse of the most beautiful island heh) and Bulgaria in 11 days. I am not very much a beach person, so I am thinking that a ferry ride from Piraeus to Samos and onto Kusadasi may suffice. No idea if it is going to be scenic. I cant seem to get much info from travel guides nor googling. So I thought I would ask.My tentative itinerary is as follows:
Day 1 Arrive Istanbul. Leave Istanbul on Filia express to Athens
Day 2 Spend a day in Acropolis
Day 3 Delphi Tour
Day 4 Take ferry from Piraeus to Samos to Kudadasi - Any suggestion of which ferry that runs at this time of year?
Day 5 Ephesus tour
Day 6 Gallipoli
Day 7 Istanbul - Personal agenda
Day 8 Edrine - Personal agenda
Day 9 Sophia
Day 10 Rila Monastery
Day 11 Sophia?Poliv back to Istanbul - Is bus the best way or train?
Day 12 Fly out of IstanbulAppreciate if you can advise of specific routes, transport details and approximate cost. Any other travel tips or suggestions to itinerary most welcome.
Please also advise any tips for travel as a female if I choose not to join local tours. Any tips for those tours like Ephesus or Delphi or Galiipoli appreciated.
I will be staying in hostels. Any tips welcome. Yep I am on a budget. Don't mind walking but I do have a bag in addition to a day back pack. If I were to take public transport, where are the storage facilities or locker room details.
Much thanks, Pearl.
Thank you for your informed response.Are you suggesting that I take tours? I travel well, so 6 hours is not a big deal. I am just not aware how easy the connection points are, if I were to tug along a big bag and a back pack.
The problem with tours is that they seem to start from Istanbul rather from down south. So maybe I have to reverse the order of my travel.
Further suggestions welcome.

ANSWER:
Check a map.Your itinerary is all over the place, and in 11 days, there is no way you will see all of that. Good luck doing the best you can, but here are a few realities of the trip, and perhaps you can put together a better map that will get you most of the places you want to go.
Istanbul to Athens on the train takes almost 24 hours. A ferry from Pirareus to Samos takes almost 16 hours. Also, on the train from Istanbul to Athens, you come very close to Bulgaria. It makes no sense to pass by Bulgaria, then go back.
Here might be a better way to get the things that you want to see.
Istanbul to Gallipoli and Edrine:
From Gallipoli to Sofia or Thessaloníki:
I don't quite know for sure whether you can take a direct bus from Istanbul or if you have to go to Thessaloníki, so check on that to see which you can do. In Bulgaria you can visit the monastery you wish to visit then head back down to Greece.
In Greece, stop in Delphi instead of going to Athens, it is north of Athens and south of Bulgaria.
From Delphi, head to Athens.
In Athens, board a ferry from Piraeus. Samos is a good island to pick because it is right on your journey. Other interesting islands would be Rhodes or Patmos, both historically famous. Rhodes and Samos both have ferries that leave for the Turkish mainland.
From the Turkish mainland you can take a bus to Ephesus, and then take a bus to Istanbul.
This makes a big loop, so it would be the most efficient way of traveling. However, with what you want to do, and only 11 days to do it, I really don't know if it is possible. You have enough on your list that it will take at least 9 days to spend at those sights, and there is A LOT of travel time in between to get to those places. If there is any way you can add a few days to your trip, or cut a few sites out (such as skipping Bulgaria) you would be able to do it.

QUESTION:
Traveling to Turkey next June, need some advice on tours?
Myself and several friends are going to be traveling to Turkey next June and we are trying to find a reputable tour company. We have seen prices ranging from 1,500.00 - 7,600.00 per person. We intend to stay for about 2 weeks, and there will be anywhere from 4-8 of us, depending on the cost. We must see Istanbul and Troy, the rest is up in the air.So far the best looking tours we have found are Danytours, but they are also the most expensive. I expect the trip to be costly but does anyone have any recommendations for other companies to look at? I want a professional english speaking tour guide and accomodations included in the total charge. I am not interested in having multiple "free days" strewn throughout the tour as I have seen from some companies. I am only interested in companies with websites I can peruse.
Thanks for the help!

QUESTION:
believing muslims in turkey?
i traveled to turkey about 2 months ago and i felt like people there hated islam or the least they were unbelievers. My mom once asked our tourist guide if there is a place for her to pray and the guy seemed like he got pissed:P and there is alot of old men drinking some kind of beer or something so i was wondering if turks are believers (not necessarily practicers) only if they were believers?
this is the first time for me asking this question and btw i meant no offence .
i had an amazing vacation and turkish people were really sweet but i was just wondering about their religion.-
ANSWER:
In order to understand this paradox, one needs to understand history.Let me give you a very brief history about Turkish secularism....
-After the first world war, the Ottoman Empire lost against the most powerful Allies in the world at the time, and our greatest leader at the time Kemal Ataturk gathered the nation to fight back and reclaim the land. After a very hard, torturous tribulation The Turkish nation and all the ethnic minorities reclaimed the land, the Turkish Constitution was proclaimed and declared on 29 Oct 1923.
-Kemal Ataturk was able to accomplish reforms in the name of education, world recognition, modernity and civilization. His tremendous achievements were unique which were tried many times in Islamic countries before but repeatedly failed.
-The Caliphate (Halifelik) was abolished in 1924. Which meant the separation of State Governance from religion. Which meant that Turkey is not going to be governed with religious beliefs, thoughts and dogmas. "Religion is a personal choice of people who choose to practice in their own privacy" was announced.
-In todays Turkey, In a civil environment like schools, councils, hospitals or any state run office. Staff are not permitted to wear religious clothing which includes head scarf, vail, religious hat for men etc.
Since this revolution, Turkey is the hot pot for religious discussions, lots of religious people still oppose the idea of secularism.
I presume that some peoples tolerance in Turkey towards radical Islamism has ended and has no patience any more. I believe that what you have experienced is just a reaction of this counteract.
From this perspective, some people still hate the fact that Turkey is a secular state and Ataturk is the evil that changed the course of the Islamic world. However, majority of Turkish population is holding tight with hope and with very high favours of Ataturk. I hope that we will not loose against the radical islamists who want Turkey as an Islamist state to abolish secularism and destroy constitution, equality, democracy and broderhood

QUESTION:
visiting turkey,how is road from Antalia to Istanbul ?
Hi,
I'm visiting turkey before 28 th of April, I will begin my trip in Antalia, going to Camer, Marmaris, Bodrum, kushadasi, Izmir, Troy, Istanbul.
1_I want to rent a car and travel by car, I wanted to know how is the road from antalia to istanbul and betweeen this cities? are there safe roads? or thee is a lot of crashes and is it safe to go by car in these roads or not?
2_is there a place you think I should visit when I pass these cities?
3_what compay or firm gives car for rent and for good price?
4_is there any guide to accompany me?
I'm open to any suggestion or ....you might have-
ANSWER:
Antalya - Kemer - Marmaris - Bodrum - Kusadasi - Izmir - Canakkale - IstanbulSo, you are taking the coast line road.
1- Roads are mostly double lane (one for each direction), not divided. If you travel during daytime, it will be safer. The accidents rate is not much higher than Europe. There is a direct road from Antalya to Istanbul, but the route you picked is surely more enjoying and beautiful.
2- Consider also Fethiye and Dalyan (between Kemer and Marmaris). Fethiye is famous with its "dead sea" a beautiful place to enjoy swimming, and Dalyan is the famous place for the Caretta Caretta's.
3- You will find all international (Budget, Avis, Hertz, etc) and some local. You have to bargain with them about the daily fental fee, insurance, maintenance, leaving the car at another location, etc.
4- No. Not me.
5- Plan your tour for not less than 30 days. The route you had picked is quite interesting, and you will probably enjoy every day of it. Such a 30-day trip will cost you around:
750 USD for car rent
750 USD for accommodation
750 USD for food
500 USD for gasoline
(and any other extras)Good luck

QUESTION:
Have you ever travelled with a group? What did you think of your 'tour guide'?
It's not something I have often done. When I was 19 I accompanied my parents who had never been out of England before, through Europe, by coach and when there was a problem with one of the party who had left his passport in our hotel in Hungary, I ended up sorting out the problem, because our tour guide only spoke English. On a recent trip on the Trans-Siberian railway from Moscow to Irkutsk and then through Mongolia to Beijing, the tour guide was equally hopeless. He told us there wee ATMs on every street corner in Russia, poked me in the back in a church in Moscow when I was looking at an icon saying, you're going to miss something. A choir whose singing you could hear all over the church. In Irkutsk he obviously fancied his chances with our female interpreter.
He insisted on calling Beijing, Peking, hardly stopped talking for 17 days and took us to a 'European' restaurant near the Olympic Stadium in Beijing.
If you've ever watched the ITV programme 'Coach Trip,' beware, the tour guide is typical. Be afraid, be very afraid.
Mind you, I did go to Capadoccia and Pamukale in Turkey with a group and the tour guides were excellent, but I made it clear that I knew Turkey, so maybe that made a difference.-
ANSWER:
The problems you experienced are very common, tour companies try to cut corners by employing enthusiastic amateurs, who, if they had a braincell would be a danger to themselves let alone anybody else. It does not work; the client has a bad experience and does not return. Our philosophy is to provide from the local area, someone who is accredited to the town, village, whatever. At least then the traveller gets the benefit of local, accurate knowledge, not some mumbo-jumbo from somebody who is only there for a “jolly”.When it comes to “coach tours”, we have a strict policy, we tell the tour company that we will NOT accept their business if they are providing a “Tour manager” as our drivers are more than capable of taking the party from place to place and know the area better than an “imported” tour manager. If the tour is in our own locale we provide the “guide”, one of our staff who holds an accreditation with the local authority. Another problem is “imported tour managers” are so badly paid that they only take their group to places where they can earn commission to supplement their wages.
Sorry we are totally against these people, they cause our drivers more problems than enough.

QUESTION:
Turkish Hadith Reevaluation project?
Turkey in radical revision of Islamic texts
By Robert Pigott
Religious affairs correspondent, BBC NewsThe scholars say they are returning to the original values of Islam
Turkey is preparing to publish a document that represents a revolutionary reinterpretation of Islam - and a controversial and radical modernisation of the religion.
The country's powerful Department of Religious Affairs has commissioned a team of theologians at Ankara University to carry out a fundamental revision of the Hadith, the second most sacred text in Islam after the Koran.
The Hadith is a collection of thousands of sayings reputed to come from the Prophet Muhammad.
As such, it is the principal guide for Muslims in interpreting the Koran and the source of the vast majority of Islamic law, or Sharia.
This is kind of akin to the Christian Reformation. Not exactly the same, but... it's changing the theological foundations of [the] religion
Fadi Hakura,
Turkey expert, Chatham HouseIslam series: Modern roles
But the Turkish state has come to see the Hadith as having an often negative influence on a society it is in a hurry to modernise, and believes it responsible for obscuring the original values of Islam.
It says that a significant number of the sayings were never uttered by Muhammad, and even some that were need now to be reinterpreted.
'Reformation'
Commentators say the very theology of Islam is being reinterpreted in order to effect a radical renewal of the religion.
Its supporters say the spirit of logic and reason inherent in Islam at its foundation 1,400 years ago are being rediscovered. Some believe it could represent the beginning of a reformation in the religion.
Some messages ban women from travelling without their husband's permission... But this isn't a religious ban. It came about because it simply wasn't safe for a woman to travel alone
Prof Mehmet Gormez,
Hadith expert,
Department of Religious AffairsTurkish officials have been reticent about the revision of the Hadith until now, aware of the controversy it is likely to cause among traditionalist Muslims, but they have spoken to the BBC about the project, and their ambitious aims for it.
The forensic examination of the Hadiths has taken place in Ankara University's School of Theology.
Fr Felix Koerner, a Christian theologian who has observed the project, says some of the sayings - also known individually as "hadiths" - can be shown to have been invented hundreds of years after the Prophet Muhammad died, to serve the purposes of contemporary society.
"Unfortunately you can even justify through alleged hadiths, the Muslim - or pseudo-Muslim - practice of female genital mutilation," he says.
"You can find messages which say 'that is what the Prophet ordered us to do'. But you can show historically how they came into being, as influences from other cultures, that were then projected onto Islamic tradition."
HAVE YOUR SAY
Many Hadiths relate to life in the Middle East 1,400 years ago and are no longer relevant
Brian, London
Send us your commentsThe argument is that Islamic tradition has been gradually hijacked by various - often conservative - cultures, seeking to use the religion for various forms of social control.
Leaders of the Hadith project say successive generations have embellished the text, attributing their political aims to the Prophet Muhammad himself.
Revolutionary
Turkey is intent on sweeping away that "cultural baggage" and returning to a form of Islam it claims accords with its original values and those of the Prophet.
Women are re-examining their portrayal in the scriptures
But this is where the revolutionary nature of the work becomes apparent. Even some sayings accepted as being genuinely spoken by Muhammad have been altered and reinterpreted.
Prof Mehmet Gormez, a senior official in the Department of Religious Affairs and an expert on the Hadith, gives a telling example.
"There are some messages that ban women from travelling for three days or more without their husband's permission and they are genuine.
"But this isn't a religious ban. It came about because in the Prophet's time it simply wasn't safe for a woman to travel alone like that. But as time has passed, people have made permanent what was only supposed to be a temporary ban for safety reasons."
The project justifies such bold interference in the 1,400-year-old content of the Hadith by rigorous academic research.
Prof Gormez points out that in another speech, the Prophet said "he longed for the day when a woman might travel long distances alone".
So, he argues, it is clear what the Prophet's goal was.
Original spirit
Yet, until now, the ban has remained in the text, and helps to restrict the free movement of some Muslim women to this day.
There's also violence against women within families, including sexual harassment... This does not e
Q. What is the ultimate aim of your work?A. There are three aims: firstly, to isolate misunderstandings that stem from history, secondly to make clear how much is cultural, how much is traditional and how much is religious, thirdly to help people today to understand them right. Let me tell you of a discussion I had with Yusuf Islam (the former singer Cat Stevens) whom I met in 1996. He was wearing a thin white cloak. He had a black turban on his head. He had a long beard. And I was wearing a suit. I was introduced as a hadith scholar… “Are my clothes in conformity with Sunni Muslim teaching?” he asked me. I said: “Imagine a battle between the Prophet and his followers and infidels. What was the difference in their clothes? They were all wearing cloaks and turbans…” Then I asked him “What if our Prophet had gone to Siberia and did not live in a climate of 50 degrees Celsius? Would wearing fur be considered irreligious? It was Ramadan and we were about to end our fast.
“What if our Prophet had gone to Siberia and did not live in a climate of 50 degrees Celsius? Would wearing fur be considered irreligious? It was Ramadan and we were about to end our fast. He ended his with dates (according to the Arab tradition) and I ate olives. I told him there are no dates in my country. On clothing, I said we should dress in a way that does not make sexuality obvious.Q. What about punishments laid out in the hadith?
A. Islam is misunderstood here. For example, you cannot show me from the 600-year history of the Ottoman Empire a case of a person being stoned for adultery or a thief whose hand was amputated… You don’t see such things in the hadith or the Koran. Punishment is not on our agenda. We are putting the emphasis on belief, on worship, morality, individual and social life, women’s rights, relations between the individual and God, between individuals, between people and nature. We have no aim to put issues from history (such as punishments)
H.K.P why do you say that? I know a few Turkish Muslims, very observant.I think this project is long overdue. Like the Prophet saying men can't dye their hair black. Cultural? Why would Allah swt be concerned with hair colour?
Let's not stereotype our Turkish brothers and sisters
The Hadiths are probably counted as part of Islam as all other messages Allah swt sent ended up being corrupted, no one listened to their prophets.
Oh! Sorry HKP, I misunderstood|!

QUESTION:
Thesis to this essay? "A New Face of Islam"?
What is the thesis statement to this article? I cant figure it out and i have to do an essay on it due tomorrow.The New Face Of Islam
A critique of radicalism is building within the heart of the Muslim world
By Christopher Dickey and Owen Matthews
Back in the mid-1990s, Osama bin Laden had a problem, and it was Islam. He wanted to say the Qur'an gave his followers license to kill innocents and themselves in the cause of jihad. That was how he could justify his global campaign of terror. But that's not what the Muslim holy book says, and that's not the way it was interpreted by any of the great scholars and preachers of the faith.
So bin Laden set about spinning the revelations contained in the Qur'an and the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, known as the Hadith, which provide much of the context for actual religious practice in the Muslim world. The Saudi millionaire wrote a diatribe that he called a declaration of war and then a fatwa, or religious edict, cherry-picking quotations from Islamic Scripture and calling on dubious scholars to back him up. The tracts were political propaganda, not theology, but for his purpose they worked very well. The apocalyptic notion of holy war he promoted and the reality of it that he demonstrated on 9/11 became the dominant vision of Islam for those with little understanding of the faith, whether in the West or, indeed, the Muslim world. Even many religious scholars were intimidated.
Now that's starting to change. Important Muslim thinkers, including some on whom bin Laden depended for support, have rejected his vision of jihad. Once sympathetic publics in the Middle East and South Asia are growing disillusioned. As CIA Director Michael Hayden said last week, Fundamentally, no one really liked Al Qaeda's vision of the future. At the same time, and potentially much more important over the long run, a new vision of Islam, neither bin Laden's nor that of the traditionalists who preceded him, is taking shape. Momentum is building within the Muslim world to re-examine what had seemed immutable tenets of the faith, to challenge what had been taken as literal truths and to open wide the doors of interpretation (ijtihad) that some schools of Islam tried to close centuries ago.
Intellectually and theologically, a lot of the most ambitious work is being done by a group of scholars based in Ankara, Turkey, who expect to publish new editions of the Hadith before the end of the year. They have collected all 170,000 known narrations of the Prophet's sayings. These are supposed to record Muhammad's words and deeds as a guide to daily life and a key to some of the mysteries of the Qur'an. But many of those anecdotes came out of a specific historical context, and those who told the stories or, much later, recorded them, were not always reliable. Sometimes they confused universal values of Islam with geographical, cultural and religious values of their time and place, says Mehmet Gormez, a theology professor at the University of Ankara who's working on the project. Every Hadith narration has... a context. We want to give every narration a home again.
Mehmet Aydin, who first conceived the Hadith project four years ago, when he was Turkey's minister of state for religious affairs, says it is obvious that in the seventh century, the time of the Prophet, life was very different. One Hadith, for instance, forbids women from traveling alone. In Saudi Arabia, this and other sayings are given as a reason women should not be allowed to drive. This is clearly not a religious injunction but related to security in a specific time and place, says Gormez. In fact, the Prophet says elsewhere that he misses those days, evidently in his recent memory, when women could travel alone from Yemen to Mecca. In its first three centuries Islam was interacting with Greek, Iranian and Indian cultures and at every encounter [scholars] reinterpreted Islam according to new conditions, says Gormez. They were not afraid to rethink Islam then.
Liberal Muslim thinkers have made similar arguments in the past, but they were outliers and often not theologians. The Turkish project, on the other hand, has the quiet backing of the ruling AK Party, the world's most successful, democratically elected party with Islamist roots. The professors involved are quick to deny that their work represents some sort of Islamic Reformation there is no Martin Luther among them, no theses are being nailed to a door. They call what they're doing a rethinking or a re-understanding of the sacred texts according to modern concepts like democracy, human rights, women's rights and universal values, says Gormez. Yet their work has far-reaching potential, given the credibility of the source.
Many states, even those like Pakistan or Saudi Arabia that have tolerated radicalism in the past, have come to see that their own stability depends on encouraging greater moderation. Saudi Arabia's King-
ANSWER:
If I had to pick a sentence out of here as the Thesis, it would be this:"Important Muslim thinkers, including some on whom bin Laden depended for support, have rejected his vision of jihad."
It summarizes the whole point of the article that:
1) bin Laden had a unique vision of jihad
2) there's visible resistance to that visionthe essay then goes on to talk about the how and whys.
Good luck on your assignment.

QUESTION:
Here is a hypothetical question for the gun cranks and history buffs.?
Suspend disbelief and imagine the year is 1908.You are in charge of what is ostensibly a major archeological expedition to study the Silk Road. To all appearances, the Smithsonian Institute, the British Museum, and the Royal Geographic Society jointly finance your expedition. In actuality, you have a second and more important mission from the British Military Intelligence Service/
Your mission is to travel the Silk Road from Shanghai, China all the way to the Mediterranean Coast at Antioch, Turkey. Along the way, you are to determine the military and political situation among the Central Asian tribal states, access Russian goals in the area, and sound out possible allies against a possible Russian move against India. The expedition will last at least three years and possibly as long as five years. A thorough survey of military potential outweighs any need for speed.
Since your expedition is going to travel through wild and lawless areas, it is to be expected that it will be heavily armed, any problems with Chinese, Russian, and Turkish authorities have been smoothed away diplomatically.
Your expedition staff will consist of some fifty trained archeologist, artists, botanists, zoologists, geographers, cartographers, geologists, and clerical staff. In addition to the academic members, there will be some 200 European and Americans (some of whom will actually be members of the British and American Armies on detached service) who will act as a military force to protect the expedition against warlords, bandits, and treachery from Russian, Chinese and Turkish agents. There will also be a few hundred coolies laborers, muleskinners, grooms, camel drivers, cooks, servants, guides, porters, translators, and guards.
Your task in this question is to explain how you plan to arm your expedition. Be specific, if you mean a Webley Irish Constabulary Revolver, say so, don’t just call it some ugly old British revolver. There are only three limitations. 1- the firearms and other weapons must be available in 1908, so no Magnum handguns or rifles, no modern assault rifles, and no M-1911 Colt Pistols. 2 - Military issue small arms should be avoided in order to provide deniability if there are spy charges made. 3 - The weapons must be light enough to be transported through some of the most rugged country in the world using only animal transport.
So fellow gun cranks, how will you equip your expedition?
Doc
Come on folks! You can do better than that! What about sidearms? Are you going to pack any machineguns or gatlings? Any artillery?Remember you might have to fight off a couple of thousand screaming tribesmen.
We are thinking along similar lines Habanero!FWIW, many companies operated with the use or machine guns, and even light artillery from time to time. One American coal company owner said in the 1930's "How the hell can you mine coal without machineguns?"
OK Sixtus, next time it will be an African adventure.
OK, here are my thoughts on the matter.As WWD mentioned, I'd have a personal hunting battery consisting of a couple of best grade Holland and Holland double rifles in that new .470 Nitro Express cartridge that Holland brought our last year, and a Winchester M-1895 in 405 Win. I'd also want a coupld of Holland & Holland SXS 12 bores. For a side arm, I'd stick with the expedition's general issue weapon, a Colt New Service in .45 Long Colt.
The standard rifle for the European and American force will be a Winchester M-1895 chambered in .303 British.The expedition's native guards will be armed with Martini-Henry single-shot rifles. This might cause us a bit of a problem if we detour into India, but we'll take our chances.
For heavy weapons, we will bring ten Maxim Machine Guns also chambered for .303 British. Four of these machine guns will be kept in reserve just in case some break beyond repair. We will also carry a battery of five Krupp Model 1905 5 CM Mountain Guns.

This would make a great piece for untrained personnel.Special issue sidearm – The “brand new” Smith and Wesson Model of 1908, .44 special
A revolver with some extra stopping power for those personnel who are familiar with firearms.General issue long gun – Winchester 1895, .303 British
I’m going to want plenty of extra magazines for these babies. Can I have them modified to take an Enfield stripper clip? Have them made to look like sporting guns. (no full stock)Special issue long gun – Winchester 1895, .405 Winchester
“Big Medicine” That says it all.Machine guns – Maxim Machine Gun, .303 British
Probably the best machine gun available at the time. I’ll wan’t more than one!Maybe a field gun from Krupp or Creusot? Something left over from the Boer war...

QUESTION:
I need help planning my first ever holiday family dinner. ?
I am 22 and will be missing Christmas and Thanksgiving this year with my family because my live-in boyfriend and I will be traveling out of state to spend the holidays with his family. So as a gesture towards my family we have decided to throw a small dinner for my family at our apartment. It will be between 6-10 adults and 1-3 very small children (all under 3 years old). I work and go to school full time, so lack alot of extra time and money so I would like to keep time and cost down. Also, I don't have alot of experience with cooking. I have learned alot in the last year, but it has all been teaching myself through cooking dinner for my boyfriend and I. I have been looking online for guides to your first Christmas Dinner and haven't been able to find anything.Should I cook a turkey? Just a ham? I am thinking for side dishes I will probably keep it easy.... Use stove top for stuffing, bagged green salad, but other than that I don't really know what to do. I want it to be a nice touch though, i am sending actual invitations to the dinner and want it to be fairly nice. Also i want to pair dinner with wine. And one of the people I MIGHT invite (my deceased mothers boyfriend, who I don't talk to much) is diabetic. ANY HELP is VERY VERY appreciated! Thank you so much, I'm so stressed about this!
Also, I am planning the dinner for December 14th at 3:00pm

ANSWER:
Hello,
First off don't panic. I would go simple with a baked ham . not hard to cook and turkey I think would be too much. all you do is season it salt pepper butter and pour a can coke over it . cook till tender. I know coke sounds crazy but it is good. fix some mac and cheese or potato salad and some green beans and fresh salad. Buy a pumpkin pie and an apple. all of this is safe for the diabetic other than the pie they sell sugarfree pies or fix a bowl of fresh fruit. check out allrecipes as a good site for recipes. for the potato salad use two large cans of diced potatoes cook just alittle bit not mushy and add mayo mustard onion and mix together. easier than real potatoes. Hope this helps joy
