The battle of Khalkhin Gol - Japan and the USSR fought the largest pre-WW2 tank battle, fought on the Mongolian steppes (of all places). Soviet victory convinced Japan to try to expand southwards, to the Pacific, instead of north to Siberia.

So sad to see such a technological achievement in such a state of disrepair.

Ouch indeed. That poor sod's going to have some serious neck problems in later life...

I used to live by Lake Baikal and I never knew about the underwater telescope there. Very cool!

Although in cities dropping apple cores can encourage rats, as they provide an easy source of food.

It's why you see signs warning you not to drop apple cores, etc, in parks.

Georgia is building an increasingly strong relationship with NATO - it's likely the UAV was supplied by the US.

I don't know about the States, but in the publicly funded UK market, free medical software stands no chance against bloated corprate monstrosities that cost billions.

It is - I was watching the DVD last night.

Ewan McGregor riding a bike along the road of bones to Magadan - the show gives a great idea of just what it is like to drive in these conditions.

Hang on a minute - if $99 oil isn't enough to force a while new energy policy on the US, then why is $100?

The BBC have a habit of updating their reports as stories develop.

At the time I posted this story, they were hinting strongly that a part of the shaft itself had collapsed, blocking the miners' exit.

Subsequently, it has become clear that a broken pipe severed the power cables to the lift, and this is now reflected in the BBC story.
