Golf
Golf is a sport where physics, anatomy and exercise science come together with incredible intricacy to produce swing speeds over 100 miles per hour. The Guide to the Golf Swing explains how it is done. The section also provides a Guide to the Putting Stroke, a Golf Swing Model that allow the user to enter parameters and estimate golf swing speeds. It also describes a diary for applying the model.

Shakespeare?
Conventional wisdom does not always get it right. Here is a case where history got it wrong. Scholars have debated who wrote the plays, sonnets and longer poems published under the name Shakespeare. The conventional understanding is that a gentleman from Stratford with the first name William and a last name similar to Shakespeare wrote these works. This understanding makes little sense. The most likely author of the works is Edward De Vere, the Seventeenth Earl of Oxford. This site assumes that Edward de Vere wrote the works and provides the evidence
Economics
Our bread and butter comes from somewhere. We need to pay attention. Tax policies and inequality. Small business how to. Tanzania business how to. Aboriginal economic development.
Politics
This is the zone where humans come together to resolve differences. A little more structure and rigour might help us get more benefits with few costs. Define issues and options. For each issue and option, rigourous analysis of each option for each issue.

Guide to the Golf Swing
Guide to the Golf Swing
outlines the key movements in the golf swing:cocking of wrists; rotation of forearms; rotating the upper arm in the shoulder socket; movement of the upper arms in the shoulder socket; movement of the shoulder socket; twisting the spine; hip rotation through leg action; and tilting the spine. It outlines how to perform the individual movements and the muscles involved, the physics of the individual movements, how the movements work together in the overall swing via a golf swing model, how to practice the movements together, and exercises targeted at the key muscles controlling each movement.
Guide to the Putting Stroke
Guide to the Putting Stroke
applies many of the themes in the Guide to the Golf Swing to the putting stroke. It begins with the criteria one would use to assess putting stroke methods, and then examines various ways one can stroke a putt against factors relevant to effectiveness.
Global Warming and Canada: Getting to Zero by 2060
Global Warming and Canada: Getting to Zero by 2060 [PDF]
takes as a starting point the key message of climate science (namely humans need to reduce emissions to zero, the sooner the better, or face significant and likely drastic consequences), outlines Canada's emissions, analyzes on a sector by sector basis the extent to which technologies and practices can get Canadian emissions to zero, and summarizes the sectoral findings (94 percent reduction in emissions by 2060). Unlike current approaches to emission reduction, this one takes the end result and addresses what needs to be done to get there.
Marijuana Legalization
Marijuana Legalization
looks at issues related to the legalization of marijuana/cannabis in Canada. There are a number of issues beyond the obvious concerns for heatlh effects on Canadians, particularly young people. It assesses policy options in terms of these relevant issues.
Marijuana Health
Marijuana Health
provides background information related to the use of marijuana, based on abstracts from PubMed, which is the database of abstracts of scientific publications related to medicine and health. Health is a primary concern for any policy option related to marijuana. There have been a number of scientific studies on the subject.
Shakespeare Authorship
Shakespeare Authorship
addresses who wrote the plays, sonnets and longer poems published under the name Shakespeare. The conventional understanding is that a gentleman from Stratford with the first name William and a last name similar to Shakespeare wrote these works. This understanding makes little sense. The most likely author of the works was Edward De Vere, the Seventeenth Earl of Oxford. This section looks at the evidence, specifically it present the case for De Vere, explains how history has got the story wrong, summarizes the life of de Vere, and shows how de Vere authorship has been reflected in the plays of Shakespeare.
Alzheimer's and the Bredesen Protocols
Alzheimer's and the Bredesen Protocols
reviews the science of Dale Bredeson related to Alzheimer's, a disease which is generally characterized with increasing cognitive impairment and which Bredeson claims to be reversible.
