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.

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?
Think The Big Book of Japanese Giant Monster Movies: The Lost Films turned over every stone and revealed every surprise known to man? Think again. In the great tradition of the inevitable sequel delve into yet more unproduced scripts from the Land of the Rising Sun. Witness the confrontation between Mizuno the Gas Human and the Frankenstein monster in Frankenstein vs. the Human Vapor. Marvel at the Human Torch, which was both an attempt to revive Toho's mutant films and also a stylistic continuation of the Bloodthirsty Trilogy. Thrill to the adventures of the Super Noah in The Flying Battleship which turned into TV's Mighty Jack. Puzzle at an adaptation of Sakyo Komatsu's post-apocalyptic thriller Japanese Apache starring the Crazy Cats. And, finally find out what happens After Japan Sinks Also detailed are completed lost films like Shinichi Sekizawa's Fearful Attack of the Flying Saucers (1956) plus reviews of rare movies like Invisible Avenger (1954), Buruuba (1955), Woman Vampire (1959) and Blue Christmas (1978) to name only a few.

Long before the first airplane took flight, when nothing but birds should have been in the skies, the early residents of the United States witnessed bizarre unidentified flying objects of all sizes, shapes, and descriptions. They encountered strange beings that clearly were not human, including "Men in Black" and possibly time travelers. They saw huge motherships, underwater UFOs, and other unexplained wonders. Some of America's most famous early historical figures, including Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, and George Washington, shared an interest in UFOs and extraterrestrials. Contained within these pages is the "other" American History that you were never taught in school
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

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.
