Описание:
I've always been fascinated by North Korea and always knew that if I had the opportunity to visit some day, I'd be all over it. Little did I know that many years later, I'd be standing at my hotel window in the border town of Dandong, China, staring at the darkness that laid across the Yalu River. I was a stone throw away from the most mysterious and unpredictable country on the planet: North Korea.
"They have hockey in North Korea?" many asked.
They sure do.
The North Koreans have a saying: "The first time you visit North Korea, you are a stranger. The second time, you are a friend. The third time, you're family." Little did I think that two weeks after setting foot in the DPRK for the first time, I'd be returning home leaving behind a group of hockey players, men and women, that I already considered as friends, people that I dearly care for, people that I've shed tears over.
Here are some of my stories about spending time with local Koreans, the real people, the forgotten ones. This is about the North Korea no one talks about and its resilient, humble, shy and down to earth athletes who love and play the same game as you and me, but in some of the most difficult conditions imaginable. This is about a group of young men and women who deserve your compassion because just like you and I, they have friends, families and want to live their lives to the fullest. Just like you and I, they have dreams, goals, and are always looking to improve their lives. But unlike us, the entire world seems against them.
They furiously play a game that is so pure and raw at the same time, without any foreign influence. They play a game that fascinates me, a game that makes me want to do more. With barely any knowledge of the modern game, what the North Koreans lack in knowledge and abilities, they try to make up with discipline and heart.
This is about the North Korea you never knew existed, and about its people who make you appreciate your way of life so much more than you ever have.
It's true, no one walks from the DPRK unchanged.

The Lost Films Fanzine is the premiere digest fanzine specializing in lost films, un-produced scripts, and obscure movies long forgotten...until now. In this issue's feature story explore how 1935's Capture of Tarzan was re-shot to become 1936's Tarzan Escapes. Then, delve into Dino De Laurentiis's unmade sequels to Orca. Also explored is Cannon's ill-fated attempt to launch Superman V despite the failure of Superman IV. Investigate how the third film in The Night Stalker continuity, The Night Killers, led to the Kolchak: The Night Stalker TV series (and The Norliss Tapes). Curse of the Pink Panther was meant to launch a whole new series via The Pink Panther brand but failed miserably. Similarly, Connor Anderson explores the Japanese-made Moonlight Mask: The Movie, which was meant to relaunch a Japanese superhero from the 1950s but didn't. And finally, explore Bollywood's 1978 version of One Million Year's B.C. called Aadi Yug. That and more surprises
The United States has the most diverse population of any country in the world and is widely thought of as a nation of immigrants. U.S. immigration has been and continues to be a contentious political, cultural, and social issue. Much of current immigration policy is based on the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965, a law advocated by former President John F. Kennedy to establish a preference system of legal immigration. This book provides an authoritative analysis of current U.S. immigration law and the 1965 Act.
It explains the precursor laws to the 1965 Act and their failure to resolve many critical problems, and details how and why the law was passed. It describes and profiles all the major actors and organizations that determine the politics of US immigration policy and details the impact--both foreseen and unanticipated--that the 1965 Act has had on the American economy, culture, demographics, and societal diversity. It offers an objective source for accessing an extensive list of the most important documents, governmental data, and scholarly discourse on U.S. immigration.

THE LOST FILMS FANZINE PRESENTS MOVIE MILESTONES #1, which celebrates the 80th anniversary of One Million B.C. (1940). And because this is a subsidiary of THE LOST FILMS FANZINE, we explore all the ways the film could have turned out but didn't. For instance, did you know that the rumored original director, D.W. Griffith, wanted to use stop-motion dinosaurs instead of lizards? Did you know that Hal Roach really wanted to adapt Jack London's Before Adam, but RKO beat him to the film rights so he had to craft an all-new caveman story? Also covered is the development of Hammer Film's remake, One Million Years B.C. (1966), which at one point included a mammoth, giant scorpions, and was to end with a battle with a brontosaurus. This special magazine also includes a mini-filmography covering the more prominent films to cannibalize stock-footage from the 1940 B.C., Mike Bogue remembers the forgotten caveman flick Eegah (1962), and the editor briefly explores films that almost got made in the wake of B.C. including Ray Harryhausen's Deluge remake, Mistress of the Seas starring Raquel Welch, and even an axed B.C. TV series

Pioneer life was tough. If your stagecoach wasn't getting held up by outlaws, chances are you were suffering from dysentery along the Oregon Trail. If you weren't toughing it through a drought, you might be enduring a hard flood. And, if the wolves and the mountain lions didn't get your livestock, chances are the Sabretooth Tigers and Sarkastodons would. Wait, did you just say Sabretooth Tigers and Sarkastodons...as in prehistoric megafauna?
That's right, remnant dinosaurs weren't the only cryptids that supposedly made it into the Nineteenth Century. Along with the surviving saurians came giant prehistoric armadillos, mastodons, cave bears, and a bevy of other prehistoric monsters. Pioneer newspapers were rife with reports of livestock being killed by mysterious, brutal beasts that defied description, and some of the creatures were simply too big to be anything living at that time and instead seemed like holdovers from the last Ice Age.
In the pages ahead you'll ask yourself: Did a Wild West showman named "Idaho Bill" really capture a saber-toothed tiger in Mexico and bring it to Washington, D.C.? What was the creature that people described as a cross between a dinosaur and a prairie dog in Nemaha County, Nebraska? Does Bear Lake, Utah, harbor a giant prehistoric beaver? Did the Duke of Westminster really hunt for a Ceratosaurus in the Arctic Circle? And finally, is there a real "land that time forgot" hidden within the caldera of an extinct volcano in the North Pole?

The American Congress: A Reference Handbook covers Congress from its inception to the present day, discussing the constitutional functions of Congress and how they have evolved over time. It presents a detailed discussion of 15 problems with which Congress copes, some associated concerns with those problems, and how they might be resolved.
The book opens with a brief history of Congress and how it has changed over time. It discusses a series of problems and concerns, and proposed solutions to those problems. It also comprises nine original essays by other scholars and persons involved in congressional politics as well as profiles of the major organizations and actors involved. Data and documents and a detailed chronology of Congress from 1789 to 2018 allow readers to situate significant legislation within the history of Congress, while an annotated list of sources--the major books and scholarly journals concerned with Congress in addition to a number of feature-length films and videos--provide readers with vetted resources for further study.
