Lessons in Dissent: The DocumentaryA documentary on Hong Kong activists sheds light on the fears, frustrations, and achievements of youth movements in the former British colony, and shows parallels with Taiwan
The opening sequence of Lessons in Dissent, a 97-minute documentary film written and directed by British filmmaker Matthew Torne, is a powerful feast for the senses. A group of youngsters, some in their secondary school uniforms, are on a makeshift stage in Civic Square, located at the government headquarters in Hong Kong, rousing the thousands of black-clad supporters who have gathered to oppose the administration. It was a special moment in Hong Kong's history, and one that is aptly captured by Torne, who did not expect a movement of such gravity when he started his film project in 2011.
The documentary's Chinese title, 未夠秤 (which reads as mei gau ching in Cantonese), means "not of age." As the intentionally ironic title suggests, this documentary, set in 2012 — the year of the Chief Executive and Legislative Council elections, as well as anti-National Education movement — centers on two key characters: Joshua Wong, who was 15 at the time, and Ma Zai, 17. Thus both were under the legal adult age. However, their youth and the real chance that they would face prosecution did not stop them from getting involved in social and political protests.
The film charts the rise of Joshua Wong (a runner-up in Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2014) and Scholarism, the group that became a media darling and which led 120,000 protesters in one of Hong Kong's biggest social movements to pressure the government to withdraw the implementation of National Education, a doctrinal-style of education designed to instill patriotism towards China. In contrast, Ma Jai works behind the scenes for the League of Social Democrats (LSD), a social democratic political party, where he does such menial work as setting and packing up promotional booths for the party. As Torne's film aims to show, the two different forms of activism have been important in keeping Hong Kong's fight for democracy alive.
Following the protagonists through their daily lives and activities, the documentary presents key facets of Hong Kong's pro-democratic activist scene, from political radio broadcasts to televised public debates, to the June 4 and July 1 mass rallies, complete with huge colorful banners and the mobile booths of political parties, and the provocative repertoire of LSD's prolific veteran politician, "Long Hair" Leung Kwok-hung.
The documentary, though lengthy in some parts, flows relatively seamlessly. Though the seven lessons of dissent are likely to be partly forgotten by the audience at the end, the key message is nevertheless driven home: growing concerns about Hong Kong's political future are making the youth step out of the path of political apathy which their parents (and most of Hong Kong's population) are known for. Lessons in Dissent offers a good picture for previously uninvolved audiences to understand the motivations behind the youths' decision to put aside their otherwise carefree lives to toil night and day planning protests and canvassing for support, attending back-to-back interviews (in Wong's case), and facing pepper spray, public reprimand, and arrest. Most importantly, the film gives a good contextual lesson for those seeking to understand the roots of the recent Umbrella protests and the background of some of the key activists involved.
The anti-National Education movement changed Hong Kong society in some major ways. Key activists said it was the first time that Facebook and other social media were used in a well-organized and strategic manner to spread information about the movement and mobilize supporters to participate and diffuse acts of collective dissent online. Scholarism was formed from connections made on Facebook, and the other major group in the Civil Alliance Against National Education, the Parents Concern Group, was formed in a similar manner. Joshua Wong's preoccupation with his iPhone, and how it has been integrated within his activism, exemplifies the pervasiveness of smart phones and social media consumption in the daily lives of Hong Kong's youth and how these have naturally become the tools of communication and mobilization for collective action.
In addition to the thousands of Hong Kongers who gathered at Civic Square, overseas student communities also held their own protests on school campuses and sent petitions to their local governments. This movement was also well known for its distinct protest repertoire, such as crossing the arms at the chest as a rejection of National Education, and the wearing of black attire. Such images of "personalized action frames" multiplied, spread, and were diffused across social media platforms, and mainstream newspapers followed suit with large spreads of the protest and of the masses that gathered at Civic Square for 10 days until the government backed down and made some concessions.
The success of the anti-National Education movement led some to draw parallels to the impact of the half-million turnout at the July 1, 2003, protest against Article 23, which led to its abandonment. I would argue more similarities could be drawn with Taiwan's anti-media monopoly movement which erupted during the summer of 2012; these protests were largely led by students, using social media to mobilize and endorsed (although ambivalently in Taiwan) by mainstream media. The legitimization of these large-scale (non-political) citizen-driven protests motivated other students and young people to join subsequent protests, notably the Umbrella movement last year, where many students in uniforms camped at protest sites for months, doing their schoolwork at mobile study stations — a distinct landmark of the Hong Kong protests.
Last June, in the midst of my fieldwork in Hong Kong, I attended a screening of the documentary. Matthew Torne, Joshua Wong and Avery Ng, activist and vice chairman of the LSD (who also features in the film), were in attendance. Many people in the audience teared up on seeing Joshua Wong and Eva Chan, convener of the Parents Concern Group, crying at the rally, when activists, angered by the nonchalance of the Hong Kong government, decide to join the hunger strike which had been organized by three Scholarism members. Something inside me tugged a little when Ma Jai said with an awkward smile that he would fear staying in jail for a year should he be sentenced for illegal assembly and desecrating the Hong Kong flag.
Although he lets the activists do the bulk of the talking, Torne's dedication in his "love letter" to Hong Kong's fight for democracy has nothing to envy from the youth he documents. As a non-commercial project, the film was made with a modest HK$950,000 (US$122,500), instead of the originally budgeted HK$3 million (US$387,000), as the producers went unpaid for three years, and many others worked on the film for free. Torne put in the £25,000 (US$37,000) deposit he had originally saved for a house, while the remaining 70% came from Hong Kongers. During the question and answer session following the screening, Wong joked that Torne was insane ("癡線" or chi sin in Cantonese) to have sacrificed so much to make the film. However, what matters is that he brought the story of Hong Kong to an international audience, and has motivated other individuals to spread the message.
The film has been shown in Hong Kong, Singapore, London, Prague, various cities in the U.S., and at public screenings in some Australian cities. Some of the screenings have been made possible through donations by academics and students. Whether for its artistic or educational value, the effort to spread awareness of political developments in Hong Kong will hopefully generate substantial enough a force to pressure the Chinese government against making unilateral decisions on the political freedom of Hong Kong.
In a follow-up Facebook discussion after the screening in Melbourne, one person expressed his frustrations and helplessness about what overseas-based Hong Kongers can do to help, especially against a powerful Chinese government that has tremendous political and economic leverage against most other states. Avery Ng's response was that people must keep "poking at the wall relentlessly" until it collapses.
Ng's words resonated with the film's final lesson of dissent, which cited the lyrics of Hong Kong songwriter Albert Leung (commonly known by his pen-name 林夕): "Let's think of it as going hand in hand, you and me, to a lesson new." The anti-National Education movement was part of an ongoing continuum of Hong Kongers' fight for political rights, together with the Occupy Central/Umbrella Movement, and subsequent movements going forward. More lessons in dissent are in the making in Hong Kong. Participants and observers of Taiwan's social and political movements can identify with the frustration and hopelessness at the lack of concrete policy changes achieved by numerous protests. Taiwan's Sunflower Movement arguably scored a modest success in comparison with the Umbrella Movement, but both Hong Kong and Taiwan face a common crisis in preserving their freedoms and fighting for more democratic participation.
Like the sobering messages delivered by Ma Jai and Joshua Wong at the end of the film, Taiwan and Hong Kong cannot rely solely on the occasional charismatic leaders or "one-hit wonder" movements to lead the fight for political freedom. We need "perseverance" and more chi sin people to continue poking at that wall relentlessly.
Wong Shiau Ching is a PhD candidate with the School of Culture and Communication at the University of Melbourne. Her research thesis, based on the anti-National Education movement in Hong Kong and anti-media monopoly movement in Taiwan, investigates the activists' tactical engagement with social media and mainstream media, and their mutual interactions, in order to reassess the symbiotic movement-media relationship.

I am a Kingston based photographer. I call myself a lifestyle photographer. But what is a lifestyle photographer?
A lifestyle photographer photographs people. Who they are, their accomplishments, their goals, and their relationships.
Lifestyle photography is a type of photography where the aim is to capture important events and accomplishments in peoples lives. The primary goal of these photos is to tell something about the subject. A lifestyle photographer draws from many disciplines of photography such as fitness photography, portrait photography, maternity photography, family photography, and engagement and wedding photography. In addition I cover sports photography, fashion photography, commercial photography, even street photography.
Everyone has a story, something interesting happening in their lives. My job is to capture that. I photograph important occasions, as well as everyday events. I photograph people with their families and partners. I photograph activities. Rather than take photographs that are posed and awkward I photograph what is important in your life. I am always on the lookout for special moments to capture.
Lifestyle photography covers a lot of ground.
Set 1 -Fitness photography and portrait photography
Sometimes I want to recognize achievements or milestones
1)Fitness photography. Fitness competitors work really hard to get in shape and to attain the physique they are after. That is certainly the case with Alicia. Fitness is a big part of her life. This photograph is from our first session together. She had just gotten off the stage only a few hours earlier after competing in the figure category of the Ontario Physique Association Provincials. She was still pretty revved up and excited and I think her energy shows. Since then I have photographed her many more times. She always displays that dedication and enthusiasm.
2)Portrait photography. My son in law Nick is apprenticing to become an electrician. On this particular day I caught him just after he came home from work. He was still covered in dirt and dust and sweat. Learning a trade is a big commitment and a big step forward. This photo is very simpIe yet it represents an important part of his life.
Sometimes I focus on who you are and what you do
3)Portrait photography. Chris is a saxaphone player. He was part of a small group in the recording studio that day. I photographed each of the musicians between sets.
4)Portrait photography. I like it when I can work with clients over an extended period of time. Trixtan is a Calgary based entertainer. He and I had worked together many times. He does stage shows and magic acts. He performs at large events and private functions. Here he is as a clown. When Trixtan is performing the look of excitement on his face is real. There is no doubt he enjoys what he does.
5)Portrait photography.As I said everyone has an interesting story to share. One photograph is never going to say everything. But it can give us a clue. Trev and Esther are both Calgary based musicians. I have photographed them 5 or 6 times now over several years. Each shoot is diiferent. They are always creative and fun to work with.
And of course I cover couples photography
6)Sometimes it is difficult to fit certain photographic topics into simple categories. For example is this a fitness photo or a couples photo. Perhaps it doesn't matter. We were in the middle of a fitness photo session with Ashleigh and Kyle. Kyle had competed the day prior in mens bodybuilding at the OPA Provincial Championships. Ashleigh is also a fitness competitor. In addition to being husband and wife they are training partners. For a second Ashleigh put her arms around her husband Kyle. At that moment the shot became a couples shot more than a fitness shot.
I am a Kingston based lifestyle photographer. I cover all of southern and eastern Ontario. Let me tell your story.

Constantine is dead
Vester Constantine, the former Jamaica Defence Force, Cavalier, and Jamaica goalkeeper is dead.
He died in Montego Bay on Saturday, February 7, and will be buried on Tuesday, February 24.
A Grenadian who arrived in Jamaica in the 1960s as a member of the West India Regiment, Constantine became a Jamaican citizen before going on to captain the Jamaica football team.
He was also a good cricketer, an aggressive fast bowler who opened the bowling for the JDF's Senior Cup team in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
It was as a footballer that he was best known, however.
brilliant goalkeeper
Playing for Cavalier under coach and founder Leighton Duncan and in the company of some of the country's greatest footballers, including the famous twins, Art and Asher Welch, he will be remembered as one of the country's best goalkeepers.
He was a member of many victorious Cavalier teams, including the team of 1974, the one which defeated Elletson Flats 1-0 to win the Major League title and the team which included David Bernard Sr, Delroy 'Mutty' Scott, Roy Welch, Arthur Lattimore, David Burgess, Clarence Prendes, and the goalscorer Neville Oxford.
Constantine was an outstanding and brilliant goalkeeper, so much so that the older generation will rate him arguably in the company of Selwyn 'the Pirate of Port Royal' Murphy, along with Don Clarke of Railway, while later generations will probably put him in the class of the likes of Orville Edwards, Warren Barrett and Aaron Lawrence.
They would be right, but only when it comes to comparing him to Murphy.
Oxford remembered Constan-tine like this: "When Consie is in goal behind you, you only needed to score once and you were a winner."
He was a good man and a good sportsman, good enough to be rated only behind Murphy and to be selected as the goalkeeper on the Caribbean All Stars X1 in one of his many glorious seasons.

Best Winter Form Ever
The LCFB Marathon is 8 weeks away. I will continue to work toward setting a marathon PR on Feb 17th. However, I may have to work a bit harder than I would in fall temperatures according to this RW article.
"When your core temperature drops below 98.6°F, your body requires 15 to 20 percent more oxygen to maintain the same pace". Great. And the temperature will be, what, 15 degrees if we're lucky?
For this past week, I kept right to schedule with Pfitzinger's 55mpw program by running a step back week of 43 miles.
Some highlights:
- Wed - Did 5x600m repeats on subdivision streets since the local track was covered in 6 inches of snow. I targeted 2:15 in 0.38 mi increments, which is about 6:00 min pace for 600 m. Finished with 8 miles
- Sat - Carried the fuel belt and ran a solid 14-miler with no breaks. Finished with a 6:31 mile (7:30 avg for the entire run).
- Sun - Hid from the 40mph wind gusts and hit the gym treadmill for a steady 8-miler.
One important workout this week is the 12-miler on Wednesday, which includes 7 at lactate threshold pace. I haven't had much LT work this training cycle, so I plan to be very disciplined and to the splits on a track. I'm guessing my LT pace is about 6:40.
On Sunday, I will push my planned 20-miler in the range of 7:25-7:30 with a fast finish. I hope the weather is cooperative on Sunday. This run will put me over 2,100 miles for 2007.
I am really good shape for December 24th. In fact, this definitely the best running shape that I have ever achieved in mid-winter.
Time to set your 2008 running goals, if you haven't already. I will be working diligently on my plan over this week's Christmas break.
Happy Christmas to all who read this.

Cole has adapted well to life in Ligue 1 since signing on a season-long loan from Liverpool and now has his first goal in red and white after scoring the opener in the 1-1 draw with Lorient.
Impressed with his new signing's impact but disappointed at his side's fourth successive draw, Lille coach Rudi Garcia said: "The goal by Joe Cole was international class and it should have sufficed for us to win the game."
Cole's strike looked to have sealed all three points until Kévin Monnet-Paquet fired home a last-gasp leveller.
"I wish my goal had secured victory for the team," Cole said. "I'm glad to score my first goal for Lille but we are disappointed because we should have won. We need to transfer draws to wins."
Cole has now made five appearances for his new club, linking up impressively with young Belgian Eden Hazard in particular – a far cry from being frozen out during his disappointing season at Anfield last season.
"The people here have welcomed me very well," Cole added, "but it's hard to take such a late goal in the game."

Anthony had not had a very good experience at his last dentist visit (back in California) and he was apprehensive about seeing a dentist again. After his appointment at your office, he was happy and said he looked forward to his next visit.
Christopher had never been to the dentist before and he was a little nervous. Everyone in the office made him feel at ease. They were patient with him and explained what was happening so he could understand.
What a big difference a good dentist makes! Thanks again for such great service!
p.s. We look forward to our next visit in your office!
I was impressed not only by that, but by the equipment. The camera, the x-ray machine – all digital. So it made the x-ray process quick and easy. The x-rays were shown to me then and there; with no wait. I had not experienced that before.
The staff is great. Everyone is personable, and I even made friends. They are even there for emergencies. I have not had one, but it's good to know just in case.
I know I'll be taken care of. I can now smile again with confidence. Dr. Bragg is good at what she does, and I couldn't believe my before and after pictures. What a difference!
Dr. Moody is good as well, personable and nice. Now, for me, going to the dentist is not a dread anymore. It's always a pleasant experience – good dentists, top notch, wonderful staff – I know I'm in good hands. Now, she's never allowed to retire!
Cheerful and professional staff makes needed dental work understandable with minimal discomfort.
Highly recommended!
Thank You!
I have finally convinced my husband to go to the dentist after many years! Now, Dr. Bragg and Dr. Moody are truly our "family dentists" The front office staff is extremely helpful and polite. They are always willing to work with us for appointments, and make an effort to fit us in if there is an urgent need.
Dr. Bragg and Dr. Moody are both fantastic dentists! My girls are never afraid of going to the dentist, although I'm still working on my husband!
When my one year old fell and injured her mouth, Dr. Bragg returned phone calls on a Friday evening and Sunday afternoon to help us assess the situation.
I honestly cannot say enough about this practice and would recommend them to my family and friends!
Thanks again! The level of patient care and dedication that I have experienced through your practice is above and beyond and truly appreciated!
While it is never a pleasure to go to the dentist, I have to say that the folks at Bragg Dental make the process as pleasant as possible. From the cheerful greeting of the office staff to the wonderful professional staff, there is high quality patient treatment and follow up. They deserve the rating of EXCELLENT.

The best!
They are consistently helpful and patient. I come here because I don't feel any discomfort and they have a genuine passion for helping people. I don't plan on switching dentists unless this company closes their doors. Been a client for probably 6 years or so. Always helpful, always smiling.

I've used this practice for years and refused to change, even when my employer tried to get me to use a DMO, instead. They are gentle and thorough. I've had quite a few procedures and each time, have been treated with great care.

I had not been to the dentist …
I had not been to the dentist in many years due to being terrified. I had a tooth break, and found Dr. Bragg (through Google.). This was one of the best decisions I've made. Dr. Bragg, Dr. Moody, and the staff are professional, kind, and gentle. I have had a good bit of work done, and it's come out so well done! Besides outstanding work, they are proactive in ensuring I understand how to take care of my teeth to keep them healthy. They are very aware of my anxiety and work with me each time I go – welcoming me by name and with wonderful smiles! I've seen this with any patient that walks in. They take a personal interest in the "whole" being of their patients. During my first visit, I had a small ulcer on my tongue, which I had thought was just a normal bump. Dr. Bragg diagnosed my cancer. I am now 4 years cancer free. Dr. Bragg, Dr. Moody and all the staff stayed informed and an active part of my fight against cancer, working closely with my Radiation Oncologist from Emory. I recommend this practice to all ages. They are truly wonderful!

I didn't go to the dentist for years because I was terrified. I had a tooth break and chose to go to Dr. Bragg. This is the best decision I've ever made. Dr. Bragg, Dr. Moody and their staff are the kindest, gentlest group of ladies you will meet. They take a personal interest in all of their patients…and they genuinely CARE! I had a good bit of work that needed to be done, and with their guidance, I was able to afford it! And last, but not least, I had a cancerous spot on my tongue, which they caught! I had no idea…I thought it was just a small ulcer. I am now 4 years cancer free, and I go see Dr. Bragg or Dr. Moody every 6 months. I may have a tear from fear occasionally, but they are so gentle and kind, they calm that fear immediately. I highly recommend this practice to anyone (all ages) looking for a dentist. If you are as afraid as I am, I can assure you that this group is the place to go. They have taken incredible care of my teeth and my life.

I had not been to the dentist and years, and was nervous going to my appointment with Dr. Bragg. The ENTIRE staff was great! My hygienist was VERY thorough, and took time (even though it was going into her lunch time) to make sure my teeth were very clean and made me feel comfortable the whole time. The consultation with Dr. Bragg was also very pleasant, she takes time to really look at your chart (you did not just fill out the paperwork for someone not to look at it) and talks with you (not at you) about your dental hygiene. I would (and will) recommend this practice to everyone!

I have been using Bragg dental for the last 3 1/2 years after relocating to the Cumming area. All of the staff are courteous and very friendly. Their reminders via text are all ways helpful to ensure I remember my appointments. Dr Bragg is very friendly and always takes the time to explain things in detail and recommends ways to better my oral health. They are never pushy or make the visits feel rushed. They just give great old fashioned service with a smile and a great attitude from all the staff. I would recommend them to anyone.

We've been to going to Dr. Jennifer Bragg, and Dr. Kara Moody for 4 years. These are, without any hesitation, the best dentists we have experienced. We highly recommend Dr. Bragg, and Dr. Moody along with their staff of wonderful and experienced associates. There is nothing more to say except they get "6 stars".

It's situated in a dreamland of Nueva Andalusia, Spain
We stayed 6 weeks at that villa and we love very much the beautiful surroundings.....a little bit difficult to find out if you do not have a GPS and ours was not working on our rental car!!!!
Laura has been very helpful to give us lots of information around and show us to operate the appliances.
We visited a few nice places like Mijas, Puerto Banus, Ronda and Gibraltar....!!!!!!
However the villa was lacking comfort for a long stay and not properly equipped for 4 people!!!
If you love a quiet place and are in perfect physical condition...it is the place for you!!!
We spend a very nice holiday in the appartment, we were with our kids. There is a nice little terrace, you are in a secured area, with commun but calm swimmingpool. A residential area near the golf area, not far from Puerto Banus and the beaches (5-10 minutes by car). Appartment clean and with all confort.
We booked this unit for 7 weeks , from Jan 11th to March 1st 2015, and found it as advertised, a superior unit on the main floor with convenient parking at the door and handy for touring, shopping and sight seeing. The owner (Vitalie) was very helpful in providing information on things like car rentals (we found the rentals at the Malaga airport convenient)so we were able to locate the unit using our GPS and get around from the get-go. The unit was clean and well furnished with all the amenities needed for our extended stay.
We took many day trips to explore the area and found it convenient to drive to local shopping for staples, dining, walking along the beach (San Pedro and Marbella) and walking in the area. We enjoyed Old Town Marbella so much we explored it on many occasions. We also visited Ronda, Granada, Gibraltar and various White Villages in the vicinity. The local representative (Laura) also provided insights in where to go and what to see.
The patio was a great place to sit with our morning coffee and watch the sun come over the trees. Very private and very quiet. Both the swimming pools were clean and well kept—great for cooling off.
Dining out was easy and the food/service superior in every instance. We also cooked our own meals and used the local Mercadona nearby for fresh staples (fish, bread and groceries were super).It was easy to communicate as English is widely understood—We even took some Spanish lessons.
We heartily recommend this unit whether it's for a short or for an extended stay, as a vacation to remember . We miss being there.
We chose this Spanish townhouse villa for our week's reunion with family friends. It was our third time visiting Nueva Andalusia. The location is in the valley, yet surprisingly close to Puerto Banus center for such a picturesque neighborhood. It's nothing like those zoo-like communities near shore. The place is two minutes' drive from a Mercadona Supermarket, a taxi to Puerto Banus only costs €9 Euros so given what we spent nightly on dining it was a bargain.
The Villa is fairly large and spacious, clean/tidy with an adequate size private garden and 2 community pools, exactly how it's presented in the photos. To our surprise and the pools were barely used. The villa is located in a very safe and secure community. Parking is at the door, which was handy for taking groceries out of the car. The villa has a very decent wi-fi which was one of our hard requirements. The owners are nice genuine people, reasonable and fair. Our communication with them was superb and their manager had called us once to make sure everything was ok
We would definitely stay here again, it's a great villa in a great location and perfect for a group or a romantic / relaxing holiday.
Having just returned from a relaxing stay in this property, I felt compelled to write a review & recommend it to others.
We are a family of four and found the accommodation was fantastic for our needs - clean, quiet and very well equipped with TV, Microwave, cooker & Washing machine - which worked out perfectly as some days we did not feel like eating out, but enjoyed cooking our own meal - or enjoying the local bread, cheese, ham and fruit, whilst sitting on the Patio outside.
The property is on a secure, gated complex, with 3 swimming pools which are not very busy during the day, so it is easy to enjoy some quiet family time around the pool.
We felt very relaxed during our stay - It was just what we needed - just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of city life - yet close enough to it to dip in and out of it when we chose.
I highly recommend venturing to Rhonda - A historic town that is split in two with a deep Gorge and also houses a Bull ring - The oldest in Spain - And a day trip to Mijas - a beautiful old fashioned town with while washed walls and cobbled streets.
I found the owner of this property, Vitalie, to be very informative and approachable and the description of the accommodation is very accurate.

Geoff Johns' Hal Jordan "Secret Origin" arc moves one step closer to a conclusion with this penultimate chapter, and I have to say, though I haven't exactly been disappointed thus far, I have been fairly under whelmed. Granted, an under whelming Geoff Johns Green Lantern story is still a lot better than most story's you'll get on the stands these days.
My point is, "Secret Origins" has danced an odd little jig during its six issues, a strange routine of two steps forward, one step back that has seen Johns at times breath new life into certain areas of the GL mythos while propelling the book towards the highly anticipated "Blackest Night," and at others seem content with merely playing around in areas we're already familiar with. I think in general, I stand by my initial evaluation of this arc as a necessary evil in illuminating Hal's beginnings for newer readers while retroactively planting the seeds for Johns' next Green Lantern epic. Suffice it to say I'll be happy when this book takes off into the future, as opposed to looking back into the past.
There have been times throughout this arc where Johns' retroactive re-imaginings of Hal's early years shined brilliantly, as in his introduction of Hector Hammond and the first interaction between Hal and Sinestro. There have been others, however, as in the whole Hal/Carol Ferris dynamic, where the story has seemed like it's just going through the motions. I'm not saying Johns has given this relationship short shrift. I just think there's not as much interesting dramatic weight behind this romance as the writer might think. The development seen at the end of this issue in particular seemed a bit forced and maybe even a little cliché, and the revelation behind Carl Ferris' true character seemed a little too sappy and "after-school special" for my tastes. I can live with it, though, because it did lead to a powerful scene involving the young Hal's greatest lesson, and a great exchange between the rookie GL and Sinestro.
I also think Johns may have overplayed his hand with some of these retroactive changes, specifically the big development introduced in this issue involving Hal's huge early breakthrough. Common sense tells us Hal would have referenced such an event at least once over the years (or at least in Johns' own run!), which makes it difficult to swallow. But these types of changes usually are difficult to accept for the longtime reader, and it's amazing how often Johns actually pulls off this sort of thing. Again, I'll live with it.
Regardless of my feeling that this arc has varied in quality and effectiveness on an issue-by-issue basis, there's still a lot to love about it. Sinestro once again shines in Johns' hands, and comes across as far more than just a crazed cosmic tyrant. This is a complicated, deeply complex villain, and I'm sure his dense moral ambiguity will only grow as the series moves onward.
And of course, Ivan Reis continues to outdo himself with his work on this series and this arc in particular, proving that his flair for drawing deeply human drama is right on par with his knack for crafting bombastic space operas. His depiction of the battle between Hal, Sinestro and Atrocitus (thought wrapped up a bit too quickly by Johns) was breathtakingly gorgeous and exciting, and brought to mind memories of the Sinestro Corps War. As happy as I'll be to see this arc finish up with next issue, it'll be a shame to see Ries step away from the book for a much deserved breather.

Is too much saccharin -- like the sweeteners used in diet soda -- a bad thing for weight loss? A study released over the weekend links consumption of artificial sweeteners to weight gain. Read more about it and what you can do to limit your intake.
Click here for a press release from the American Psychological Association, which summarizes the latest Purdue University study on saccharin.
Click here to read the full study.
What steps should you take to cut back on your saccharin intake? Keith-Thomas Ayoob, a nutritionist at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, offers the following suggestions below. Click here for his full opinion article on ABCNEWS.com.
Keep the soda and soft drinks to one daily. Have water or seltzer at other times.
Hold the sweetener packets to one or two in your drinks.
Add more water to powdered drink mixes than is called for. Gradually add more until you get used to a half-strength mix (this is more economical as well).
Sweets are occasional treats, so once or twice a week is occasional. Much more than that and it's a lifestyle, not a treat.
Try watery fruits for a sweet fix. Grapes and melons are even a great beverage substitute because they make you feel as if you're both drinking and eating.
Click here to read about a July 2007 study in the journal Circulation. which links soda -- even diet soda -- to an increase in other risk factors for heart disease. The researchers of the study reported that "those who said they drank a soda or more per day had a 31 percent greater chance of becoming obese, a 30 percent increased risk for gaining inches around the waist, a 25 percent chance of developing high blood sugar levels and a 32 percent greater chance of developing lower "good" cholesterol levels."

The Minnesota Department of Transportation has offered a $500,000 incentive to Ames Construction to accelerate completion of the Highway 169 project.
Dave Aeikens, a MnDOT Metro District public affairs spokesperson, said the contractor accepted the incentive and the project should be completed one month ahead of schedule.
"We asked the contractor to see if they can get it done a little sooner with the incentive of a half-a-million dollars to get it done by September 26," Aeikens said.
The $64 million dollar project includes an abundance of ramp repairs and road resurfacing.
According to MnDOT, the main focus is replacing the highway bridge over Nine Mile Creek.
"The purpose of the project is to replace the Nine Mile Creek with a causeway," Aeikens said. "There (were) 90,000 people that were using that before we closed it."
Edina resident Lance Grevious said the highway entrance and exit near his home has been closed for quite some time.
But he's patient.
"They have been working hard on it and it would be nice to have it finished," he said.
MnDOT officials said the only hiccup they believe could disturb the flow of the acceleration would be weather.
"Weather is going to be a huge factor in this," Aeikens said. "If we get a lot of rain, that will slow things down and our plans might be delayed."

January 2005
In our New Oxford Note Burn, Baby, Burn! (Sept. 2002), we took on the highly esteemed Dr. Scott Hahn for saying outrageous and scandalous things. We noted: Feminist theologians and their Queer cheerleaders have been campaigning for a feminine Holy Spirit for decades. How odd how depressing, actually to see Dr. Hahn jump on the bandwagon.
You see, Dr. Hahn regards the Holy Spirit as feminine or female. We commented: Now, Mary was female, and if the Holy Spirit is female or feminine, then Jesus had two mommies, and presto, gay is good and so is gay marriage. Dr. Hahn goes so far as to say the Holy Spirit is bridal and that Marys maternity is mystically one with that of the Spirit. The imagery here is blatantly and scandalously lesbian.
This stirred up a hornets nest in our pages, both pro and con, and not only in our letters section. In December 2002 we printed an article defending Hahn by Abraham Heck (with a reply from the Editor). Monica Miller took on Hahn in an article in our May 2003 issue. Then Edward ONeill weighed in against Hahn in an article in our June 2004 issue. Abraham Heck responded to ONeill in our November 2004 issue (with a reply from ONeill). And we know that certain of Hahns personal friends have warned him that hes in danger of going off the deep end.
And the controversy just doesnt want to go away. Christopher Ferrara joined the fray against Hahn in August 2004 at RemnantNewspaper.com. An enlarged version appeared in The Remnant (Sept. 30, 2004) along with commentary by Robert Sungenis.
Ferrara covers Hahns female Holy Spirit, but he also discusses Hahns weird view of Original Sin (something lightly touched upon in ONeills June 2004 NOR article). Says Ferrara: Hahn speculates that the serpent in the Garden was actually a dragon or other monster with which Adam should have engaged in mortal combat to protect himself and his bride . Hahn thus suggests that the original sin was not disobedience to a divine command under temptation, but rather a refusal to sacrifice his life under a death threat: [Says Hahn] Knowing the serpents power, Adam was unwilling to lay down his own life for the sake of his love of God, or to save the life of his beloved. That refusal to sacrifice was Adams original sin. The internal quote is from Hahns First Comes Love, page 70. Hahns next line is this: He [Adam] committed it [the original sin] even before he had tasted the fruit, even before Eve had tasted the fruit.

SOURCE: GoldQuest Mining Corp.
October 31, 2016 07:41 ET
VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - October 31, 2016) - GoldQuest Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE: GQC) (FRANKFURT: M1W) (BERLIN: M1W) ("GoldQuest" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the first batch of assay results from Target A, the first of 20 targets in the 2016/17 exploration program on the Company's Tireo Formation concessions in the Dominican Republic.
The results are from the southern portion of the Company's land concession, 20 kilometres south from the Company's flagship Romero Project. Target A is the first of twenty exploration targets prioritized by GoldQuest in its current drilling campaign. The target has been tested with 6 diamond drill holes including a 3-hole-fan comprised of TIR-16 02, TIR-16-03, and TIR-16-04, displaying similar characteristics as our Romero discovery.
Like all 20 targets, Target A was identified through mapping, sampling and most recently ground Induced Polarization (IP)/resistivity surveys. The target has encouraging surface geochemistry with rock sample results of up to 167 g/t gold (see release May 17th, 2016). This zone is over 1.5 kilometres long and up to 300 metres wide. All six holes have intersected massive and disseminated sulphide mineralization in the same dacitic and andesitic rocks as the Romero gold/copper deposits previously discovered by GoldQuest. The holes contained anomalous gold and copper -- hole TIR-16-03 intersected 9 metres grading 0.75% copper -- detailed in the assay intervals in Table 1 below. Future campaigns in the target area will vector toward potentially higher grade parts of the system.
"Although early in our current exploration campaign, we are encouraged by the style of mineralization, especially the presence of copper sulphide minerals like chalcopyrite and bornite at Target A. Importantly, we are convinced that we have discovered a new epithermal system there," said Bill Fisher, Executive Chairman of GoldQuest. "This system is geophysically similar to Romero and we believe that testing the numerous targets in the area will give us the best chance of finding higher grade mineralization along the 50 kilometre belt. Epithermal systems like Romero and Target A often occur in clusters along plate boundaries, such as on the Company's Tireo Formation concessions. It is a rare opportunity to have the opportunity to test multiple targets within a large, unexplored land package."
Based on airborne magnetics and mapping, Target A appears to be on the same trend as Precipitate Gold Corp.'s (TSX VENTURE: PRG) Ginger Ridge discovery (GR14-05), which is located approximately 2 kilometres south-east of hole TIR-16-06. Within the GoldQuest exploration concessions, there is an approximate 1.3 kilometre gap between TIR-16-06 and GR14-05. Future work in this exploration gap is currently being planned.
The hole locations are shown on the map found here:
Table 1. Drill hole assay intervals.
*Interval grades are calculated using uncapped assays. Gold values did not exceed 3.39 gpt. Intervals may not represent true widths. There insufficient drilling to determine the orientation of the mineralized bodies at this time.
Table 2. Drill hole location, direction and final depth
The Company aims to release the results of the remaining holes in batches by target area in periodic intervals over the coming months. Currently the Company is drilling hole TIR-16-07 at Target B which is approximately 1 kilometre east of Target A.
The 2016 IP program, which is a significant contributor to the exploration target definition, is expected to be completed in November. The IP crew is currently completing detailed deep section work in the northern end of the survey area. Targets in this area will be drilled in late 2016 or early 2017.
Technical Information
As part of the Company's Quality Assurance and Quality Control procedures (QA/QC), most of the high grade intervals are re‐assayed and the Company is awaiting these check samples. In addition, systematic re‐assaying of intervals is in progress, to confirm compliance of blanks and duplicates checks. The Company also reviews results from Certified Standard Reference materials (CRSM or Standards), which are inserted at a rate of five per 100 samples. Within the results disclosed herein there were two samples that had results above the recommended tolerances for gold and another for copper which was below the recommended tolerance. The portions of the batches with the CRSM outside of tolerances will be re-examined with the laboratory. In GoldQuest's drill programs, composite intervals were chosen using a combination of geological criteria and mineralization, averaging around two metres core length. The drill core is cut in half with one half of the core sample shipped to ACME Labs by GoldQuest technicians. The remaining half of the core is kept at the Company core shack for future assay verification, or any other further investigation. Assays within intervals below the 0.005 g/t detection limit for Au were given a zero value. All drill samples were prepared and screened by ACME Labs (Vancouver); metallic fire assay and multi‐element ICP‐MS were assayed by ACME Analytical Laboratories (Vancouver). Gold values are determined by standard fire assay with an AA finish, or, if over 10.0 g/t Au, were re‐assayed and completed with a gravimetric finish. QA/QC included the insertion and continual monitoring of numerous standards, blanks and duplicates into the sample stream, at random intervals within each batch. The comprehensive GoldQuest Quality Assurance and Quality Control protocols can be viewed on GoldQuest's website at: http://www.goldquestcorp.com/index.php/corporate/corporate‐governance.
The information in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Jeremy Niemi, P. Geo., Vice President, Exploration of GoldQuest and a Qualified Person for the technical information in this press release under NI 43‐101 standards.

Breaking news: I finished a project! Wow, it's been a long time. It felt kinda good to actually finish something. Not much I do around here (think laundry, dishes, cleaning, teaching) ever gets finished. So this feels like a major accomplishment.
So what did I do? Well, I replaced this beast:
The awning on our play structure has been gradually shredded by hail, wind, rain, and sun over the last four years. A few weeks ago we used a coupon to buy some new vinyl.
I ran out of thread 3/4 of the way through the sewing phase. But miraculously, I got out on a Mommy-only errand (on the way home from the doctor! fun!) the next day and picked up some new thread. And then I finished. And then Garry and Zach hung it up.
Ahhh....isn't that better?
I also bid a not-so-fond farewell to my maternity flip-flops. I know. It was time...a long time ago. This might be the last remnant of pregnancy that's left in this house (besides Kate and my waist and my nausea, of course). Getting rid of the stretched-out, sloppy flip-flops reminded me of getting rid of the recliner. It was mostly a huge relief. I have no idea what took me so long.
The next old things to leave this house will be our almost-14-year-old couches. For my birthday, Garry is building new couches. Yes, that's right. Building. And I'm super excited. That will be a much bigger project and a much more exciting post (when it happens). But until then I offer this teaser: the couches will be orange! Yes!

Huawei Mate 10 Pro
Info Photos News Forum 7 Hands-On › Our Review ›
Huawei Says GPU Turbo Update to Boost Mate 10 Pro, P20 Pro Performance
Huawei today announced plans to tweak the graphics performance of its phones. The company will update a number of devices with what it calls GPU Turbo, a graphics processing technology that lets phones run GPU-intense apps, such as games, faster and more efficiently. Huawei claims that GPU Turbo optimizes system software and hardware resources to improve GPU efficiency by 60% while lowering power consumption by 30% thanks to its re-architected method for handling graphics. The end result is a noticeable upgrade in device performance without forcing users to buy a new phone in order to run the latest games and apps. Huawei plans to roll the update out to its flagship devices, the Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, P20, and P20 Pro in August, with other devices to follow later in the year.
Best Buy to Stop Selling Huawei Phones
Best Buy is expected to drop products made by Huawei over the next few weeks, reports CNET. Citing a source familiar with Best Buy's plan, CNET says the company will sell through the stock of devices such as Huawei's smartphones that are already in its stores, but the electronics retailer will not replenish supplies of Huawei phones. Huawei has faced scrutiny from some in Washington over its ties to the Chinese government. Some believe the Chinese government could use Huawei handsets for espionage purposes. Earlier this year, government pressure led AT&T and Verizon Wireless to cancel plans to sell the Mate 10 Pro from Huawei, the company's flagship smartphone. The Mate 10 Pro is available to Americans online from retailers such as B&H Photo and Amazon. Huawei has been banned from selling telecommunications gear in the U.S. for some time. Neither Best Buy nor Huawei commented directly on the matter concerning smartphone sales.
Hands On with the Huawei Mate 10 Pro Driving a Porsche
Huawei had some fun in Barcelona this year. The phone maker put the artificial intelligence inside its flagship Mate 10 Pro smartphone to use steering a Porsche around an obstacle course. Want to know what it was like for a phone to drive a car? We recount the experience here.
Huawei Kicks Off Preorders for the Mate 10 Pro
Huawei today starting taking orders for its Mate 10 Pro flagship smartphone. The handset is available for purchase online from a number of retailers, including Amazon, BestBuy, Microsoft, Newegg, and B&H. Those who preorder the Mate 10 Pro between now and February 17 will receive a $150 gift card from the associated retailer. The device itself costs $799 and comes in black, blue, gray, or copper. The Mate 10 Pro has a 6-inch 2:1 display, Kirin 970 processor with 6 GB of RAM, dual Leica cameras with portrait and monochrome modes, fingerprint reader, and Android 8 Oreo. The company had hoped to sell the device through U.S. carriers, but pressure from the government put the kibosh on carrier distribution deals. It is sold unlocked and is compatible with AT&T and T-Mobile. The Mate 10 Pro will ship starting February 18.
Verizon Won't Sell Huawei Phones Either, Says Bloomberg
Verizon Wireless has cancelled any and all plans it had to sell handsets from Chinese phone maker Huawei due to pressure from the federal government, according to sources cited by Bloomberg. Verizon Wireless was on deck to sell Huawei's flagship device, the Mate 10 Pro, but has bowed to the government's wishes. AT&T bagged plans to sell the Mate 10 Pro earlier this month. Some members of the federal government label Huawei a threat and suggest it has ties to the Chinese government. Huawei is the third-largest maker of phones in the world, and the largest maker of telecommunications gear. While some U.S. network operators offer handsets from Huawei's rival ZTE, none use either Huawei's or ZTE's telecommunications gear. The news coincides with word that some in the Trump administration at one point sought to create a government-run, national 5G network in order to protect from supposed Chinese threats. The administration later said the proposal was never seriously considered. Verizon and Huawei declined to comment on Bloomberg's story regarding the Mate 10 Pro.
U.S. Lawmakers Want AT&T to Sever All Ties with Huawei
Some people who work for the U.S. government don't want AT&T and other firms doing business with Huawei, according to Reuters. Unnamed U.S. lawmakers are "urging" AT&T "to cut commercial ties to Chinese phone maker Huawei" due to national security concerns. The lawmakers in question suggested that AT&T cease working with Huawei on the development of the 5G network standard. Moreover, the lawmakers don't want AT&T or its discount subsidiary Cricket Wireless to sell Huawei handsets. The lawmakers, including members of the Senate and the House, further suggested that any U.S. firm doing business with Huawei may see its ability to do business with the U.S. government hindered. Earlier this month, AT&T canned plans to sell the Huawei Mate 10 Pro smartphone due to government pressure. The two companies were widely expected to kick off sales of the phone at the Consumer Electronics Show. The phone will still be made available to U.S. consumers directly from Huawei online. Neither AT&T nor Huawei commented on Reuters' story. Huawei is the world's third-largest supplied of handsets and the largest supplier of telecommunications gear. Reuters suggests the change in tone with respect to Chinese technology firms comes from the Trump Administration. The U.S. has recently blocked a handful of other Chinese acquisitions, and is actively seeking to prevent China Mobile from dipping its toe in the U.S. market. Last week, lawmakers introduced legislation that would prevent the U.S. government from using equipment or devices from Huawei and ZTE.
Huawei Hopes Wonder Woman Works Wonders for Mate 10 Pro
Huawei today announced a range of efforts it is taking to increase visibility for its Mate 10 Pro flagship smartphone. To start, the device will be available for pre-order between February 7 and February 17, with a ship date of February 18. The phone will retail for $799 and will be sold online, unlocked from Amazon.com, Best Buy, Newegg, B&H, and Microsoft. The phone will not be sold by any U.S. carriers, at least not in the near future, but it is compatible with the GSM-based networks of AT&T/Cricket and T-Mobile/MetroPCS. People who pre-order the phone during the initial 10-day window will receive a $150 gift card from the associated retailer. Huawei said it plans to increase its marketing in the U.S. in order to help sell the phone. To start, it has partnered with "Wonder Woman" actor Gal Gadot to serve as the brand's Chief Experience Officer. Gadot has long used Huawei phones, according to the company, and has offered the firm honest feedback over the years. Moreover, Huawei plans to increase its advertising budget in the U.S. to raise awareness of the brand and the Mate 10 Pro. It has already begun to put up billboards with the "the best phone you never heard of" slogan around the U.S. Huawei was expected to announced a distribution deal with AT&T this week, but the arrangement fell apart in recent days for unspecified reasons. Huawei is also making the Porsche Design Mate 10 variant available through the same channels as the standard version. The Porsche Design model costs $1,225.
AT&T Reverses Plans to Sell Huawei Mate 10 Pro, Says WSJ
AT&T will not sell the Huawei Mate 10 Pro smartphone, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. Huawei was widely expected to announce a distribution deal with AT&T during its CES keynote address, scheduled for Jan. 9. The deal has collapsed for reasons unknown. Huawei has not yet been able to strike a carrier deal in the U.S., leaving it essentially shut out of the market. If and when it sells devices in the U.S., it generally does so through the open market through partners such as Amazon.com. The Mate 10 Pro is a flagship handset that Huawei has been selling abroad since late last year. Huawei didn't immediately comment on the matter. Official word may come from the company during its CES address later this week.
Hands On with the Huawei Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro
Huawei is taking aim at Apple, Samsung, and LG with its latest flagship handsets, the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro. These high-quality devices feature stunning hardware, top specs, and table-stakes features such as fingerprint readers. Huawei is banking on its NPU-based artificial intelligence to take the phones' dual camera systems to the next level. The Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro run Android 8 Oreo with EMUI 8 from Huawei to take advantage of the powerful Kirin processor. Here are Phone Scoop's first impressions of Hauwei's new smartphones.
Huawei Hopes AI-Assisted Camera Will Set Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro Apart
Huawei today announced the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro, the Chinese company's flagship smartphones heading into the end of the year. The Mate 10 (left) and Mate 10 Pro (right) are high-end devices with curved glass panels front and back, and a metal frame in between. Huawei created a distinct reflective band that runs across the rear of the phones to call out the cameras. The phones share nearly all features and primarily differ with respect to screen aspect ratio and resolution. Where the Mate 10 has a quad HD 5.9-inch LCD panel with a 16:9 aspect ratio, the Mate 10 Pro has an HD+ 6-inch OLED panel with an 18:9 aspect ratio. The Mate 10's fingerprint reader is located on the front and the phone supports microSD memory cards, where the Mate 10 Pro's fingerprint reader is on the back and the phone doesn't support memory cards. The phones rely on Huawei's new Kirin 970 processor, its homegrown 8-core CPU, which includes a 12-core GPU and dedicated neural network processing unit, or NPU. The NPU is primarily put to use with the camera, where it is able to recognize objects and adjust the camera's parameters accordingly. At launch, the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro will, for example, be able to recognize the difference between flowers and plants, or cats and dogs in order to more accurately capture photos. The phones feature a dual-camera system on the back with a 12-megapixel RGB sensor and a 20-megapixel monochrome sensor, both at f/1.6. Some of the tools include scene recognition, bokeh, optical image stabilization, and AI-assisted focusing and zooming. The front camera has an 8-megapixel sensor at f/2.0. The phone will launch with Android 8 Oreo and EMUI 8, a new version of Huawei's Android skin. EMUI 8 was built to take advantage of the Kirin 970 and supports advanced split screen multitasking and a full desktop computing experience sans dock. The Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro also include 4,000mAh batteries with rapid and wireless charging, NFC, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS, WiFi, high-definition audio, USB-C, and high-speed LTE. The Mate 10 is available only with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage, while the Mate 10 Pro is available in either a 4 GB / 64 GB or 6 GB / 128 GB configuration. Pricing and availability was not disclosed.
Huawei Announces Kirin 970 With AI Co-Processor
Today at IFA in Berlin, Huawei announced its next flagship mobile SoC, the Kirin 970. Huawei claims the chip is the first to have a dedicated co-processor for AI, which it calls an NPU (Neural-network Processing Unit). The NPU allows AI tasks such as image recognition to run 5-25 times faster than chips without an NPU, and with up to 50x better battery life. The NPU supports a variety of AI platforms, including Google's TensorFlow, Facebook's Caffe2, and Android NN. The Kirin 970 also includes a Cat. 18 LTE modem supporting up to 1.2 Gigabit speeds. It has eight CPU cores (4 A73 at 2.4 GHz and 4 A53 at 1.8 GHz) and 12 GPU cores, plus a dual ISP. It has 5.5 billion transistors and is based on a 10nm process for high energy efficiency. The company also announced that its Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro device with "full display" will be powered by the Kirin 970 chip. The Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro will be announced October 16th in Munich.

Essa Gayens is starting to accept her sister Rae into her life, sharing a dorm room in their swanky private school on Earth.

When Rae takes off after them into outer space, Essa is spurred into action. Very soon, Essa is hot on her trail, sneaking out of school, bribing officials and begging Captain Thorn Hanover to take her on his ship.
Thorn is a hunk, and Essa is thrilled with the prospect of an interesting trip, but Thorn has no interest in a spoiled rich girl. Not only does he reject her advances, he sets her up on the chore roster and expects her to work for her passage.
Essa has never been anything but a pampered princess, but both Rae and Thorn are challenging her to dig deeper, to be more. But to aspire is to risk failure, and Essa has never really risked anything before. Can she start with her heart?

I'm a small-town pastor living under the big Kansas sky.
My wife and I raise veggies, chickens, blackberries, strawberries, apples, and two sons. We're committed to living simply and locally. A lot of days, we don't even start our car.
This is where I wax poetic about my backyard. It's my doxology project, a blog about praising God in the everyday.
The pictures on The Doxology Project are taken within roughly 10 miles of our house. Most will be from closer. This is my little way of practicing the discipline of life in place. It's photography as act of noticing.
My book on the rural church: God's Country: Faith, Hope, and the Future of the Rural Church will be released by Herald Press on September 19, 2017.

An Officer's Manual of the Western Front 1914-1918 Hardback
Many people have the idea that the 'Great War' on the Western Front was simple, if ghastly, to fight - with few tactics, and unbroken, monotonous, trench lines as the main feature of the battlefield.
In such a scenario soldiers with rifles and bayonets charging each other in blind obedience to stupid repetitious orders are imagined as archetypal of battle.
Though undeniably bloody the war was in fact a ferment of new ideas and new weapons.
Gas, flame throwers, super-heavy artillery, concrete bunkers, tanks, aircraft and other innovations were all introduced, whilst older notions such as barbed wire, machine guns and armour took on a new lease of life.

No Program Submissions or Scheduling from 5PM, Thursday, July 16 through 5PM, Monday, July 20.
Seattle Community Media will be taking an important step toward improving this website. Unfortunately, we need to cease the submission of any new programs and disable your ability to schedule programs to make it all happen. Fortunately, the end result will be much a much improved website.
You will still have access to the website and be able to watch videos during this entire process. It is likely the site itself will never be down while we do this work.
We will be disabling the "Submit" button on the Episode Page, as well as removing the ability to schedule programming, beginning 5pm on Thursday, July 16, 2015. The reason is the allow the website to complete all actions prior to when we shift this entire site from one server to another. This will allow all shows submitted prior to this time to make the complete round trip to Archive.org and back.
On Monday, July 20 we will physically move important data elements of the site to the new server. Once this task is complete, we will post in our News block that you can resume submissions and scheduling. If all goes well, you may see news posted much earlier than 5pm on Monday.
Once this shift is complete, you should notice the site functioning much better than it has been. It should also be faster too. We will continue working to improve the site, now on its new server, over the following weeks.
