Portion of the tree from the infamous axe murder incident (Korean: 판문점 도끼살인사건, 板門店도끼殺人事件,도끼蠻行事件) which involved the killing of two United States Army officers by North Korean soldiers on August 18, 1976, in the Joint Security Area (JSA) located in the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). The U.S. officers had been part of a work party cutting down a tree in the JSA.
Three days later, the U.S. and South Korea launched Operation Paul Bunyan, an operation that combined a return to cut down the tree with a show of force to intimidate North Korea into backing down. North Korea then accepted responsibility for the earlier killings.
The incident is also known as the hatchet incident and the poplar tree incident and "The Tree Trimming Incident" because the object of the conflict was a poplar tree standing in the JSA.

Country Insights India: City and Village Life
By: Jennifer Kumar
Want to know how the average person in India lives? What is it like to live in village India? How does living in the village or in the city create a unique way of life? David Cumming attempts to answer in his forty-eight page book, Country Insights India: City and Village Life, while providing an overview of India’s modern culture.
Through stories of life in the city of Bangalore (Karnataka state) and the village of Thrickodithanam (Kerala state), the reader gets a good impression of how an average person lives; their triumphs, their struggles, their opportunities and desires for change. The narrations are accompanied by vivid, colorful and realistic images of daily life of average people. The photos of average people quoted throughout the book are not models, they are everyday people doing everyday things- eating their dinners, walking barefoot to school and sweating in the heat. These images may not be glamorous, but provide a raw, tangible aspect to the book. This is real life, whether it is India or America or any other country- there are people of all kinds of backgrounds living different lifestyles and making their lives successful with the knowledge, skills and resources they have or aspire to have. This is one of the lessons I have learned from the book.
I really enjoyed reading the quotations accompanying the photos. People of all ages share some interesting aspect of their life in one or two sentences. The children’s perspectives are always so simple, sweet and bring a smile to my face. For example, Ashok says, “We have to wear a uniform, like all school children in India. I’m going to be in trouble because I’ve lost my tie.” (p. 31) More cute quotations are on pages 12, 25, and 38.
As India is so diverse and difficult to describe in kid-terms, I give kudos to the author for achieving this. Though the book reduced stereotypes by focusing on individual people and telling their stories, there are parts of the book that I felt could be improved.
Throughout the book, the terms ‘rich’ and ‘poor’ are used. It is true these descriptors have a grain of truth- but for whom? Why should, for instance slum dwellers or villagers be labeled as ‘poor’? Is this a label they created for themselves or the author has created for them? And to what is this compared to? It is true that many villagers and slum dwellers do not make a lot of money, but being a graduate of a social work program in India, I do not call these people ‘poor.’ In some ways the villagers and slum dwellers taught me an important lesson in prosperity. When visiting their homes, they had few food or drink items. It is also true they had little money. But, as it is considered puniya (good luck) to serve something to guests, they would do anything to offer us any food or drink item, preferably tea, with milk. Villagers would come together and pool ten or fifteen rupees (US .20-.30) to buy a packet of milk to feed tea to me and my friends. To me this is a wealth beyond financial definitions. Their spiritual, mental and emotional wealth helped them temporarily overcome any financial challenges they were facing. Impressive! A specific example of judgmental wording is seen in the photo descriptor on page 20. Next to a picture of a man in a village sitting next to his one room house made out of what appears to be scrap pieces of wood reads, “None of the people in this Colony have the money to build a good home.” In this sentence are two words I contest: “none” and “good house”. To illustrate my contention with these terms, I will share one more story. There was a person in a Chennai slum who wanted a new house. Their house would be a one room wood construction with mud walls. This person was so proud, happy and appreciative to provide a roof over the head of his family. He had been saving for months to have a new home. I met the builders of this house. They were happy to provide this service for this man and his family and were also happy to have a job so they could provide for their own families (see a picture of these construction workers here). It is true, if you put a person like me into that situation to live, I may feel lack or need, but the people who live in these situations may not feel this way at all.
I understand it is difficult to write any book, story or blog from a true non-judgmental or biased viewpoint. As humans we write from our viewpoint, which is inherently biased in someway. It is often the reader’s intuition and worldliness that inspires questions. This can be done as an adult, but can children always make this discrimination? Would children question the words ‘poor’ and ‘rich’ especially when coupled with powerful images (such as the man sitting next to his house)? This is important for parents to do when reading books and when sharing any type of media with their children. Because I believe it is a rare find to read or watch something truly unbiased with your children, rather than not share it, share the questions that come up in your mind as you read it with your children. Ask them what they think ‘poor’ and ‘rich’ means or any of these black or white descriptor words. Have a discussion with your children, see the world through their eyes and keep teaching each other about the world around you!

So why the denim look? I'm not exactly sure, but from the get-go I liked the idea of a brand being imprinted on something, kind of like a "Grade A beef" stamp. So I started with a few approaches.
Let me know what you think!
Early sample with my Fuji X-Pro1 processed via Phototoaster app on iPad. Southampton City Centre, a building that keeps its authentic appearance
Shown here is a Reslo RB Ribbon Microphone infront of a PRO 30M amps by British firm Blue Tone Amplifiers. This photo featured in their advertisements for the Blue Tone PRO 30M amplifier c.2003.
Pete Townshend bought one of these amps and took quite a liking to it. "I love the gentle, old 60s sound of this amp. It needs a classic guitar to complete the promise of authentic sound". According to the company Pete used this amp on The Who's 'Then & Now' album, released March 2004, the amp can be heard on two new Who tracks, 'Real Good Looking Boy' and 'Old Red Wine'.
Other users included Uli Jon Roth, Mick Box (Uriah Heep) & Mickey Moody (Whitesnake). The company are unfortunately no longer around but their amps are still out there so keep your eyes peeled!

Noryangjin Fisheries Wholesale Market, Seoul, South Korea
Opened in 1927 on Uiju-ro, next to the Seoul Station, Noryangjin Fishery Market is one of Korea's largest seafood markets. The seafood market was moved to the newly constructed building in 1971 at Noryangjin and Suhyup took over the market to promote fishery industry, as well as to increase fisher’s income in 2002. In addition, they started modernizing projects that made it a leading fishery market in Korea, co-existing distribution and culture alike. The market handles about 50% of metropolitan volumes and 250 to 300 tons of marine products are traded every day. The prices of marine products are decided according to the quantity so one is recommended to visit the official website to check the bid. General retail prices are 10 to 20% higher than the auction prices. Mixing across wholesales and retails, the market offers live atmosphere of early morning market, starting from 1 a.m. and offers various interesting scenes to see. In particular, at around 3 a.m., a live fish auction allows visitors to feel the authentic market place atmosphere among sellers and buyers.
One hundred years ago, the sinking of the Titanic sent an electric shock wave through the Gilded Age of progress. People around the world are still fascinated by the disaster, seen as a parable of the human condition, inspiring countless books and a dozen movies. For better or worse, we learn about the past through historical epics which blend fact with fiction, mixing real figures with made-up characters like Jack and Rose in Titanic (1997). We’re left wondering. Which stories are true?
Even the excellent CBC documentary, Titanic: the Canadian Connection made mistakes. Crew member Emma Bliss is on a list of second-class passengers bound for Canada. Well, Mrs. Bliss arrived here eventually, settling in Toronto and living her final years in the Beach. She was a survivor, living to 93, almost as long as the fictional Rose, but she was hardly a pampered passenger. As a stewardess in first class, Mrs. Bliss catered to every whim of her wealthy guests. Like Rose, the ladies often needed a maid’s help to get in and out of their elaborate clothing. (Rose managed well enough when Jack was around!).
Each Titanic film reflects the attitudes of its era. In the 1953 Hollywood version Titanic, a couple is near the end of their relationship on a ship near the end of its life. Stewardess ‘Emma’ waits hand and foot on the fictional upper-class Sturges clan. The plot focuses on the drama of this family in crisis. The iceberg is the only villain. Even the snobbish father finds redemption. The message for a conservative America in the Atomic Age was that in times of trouble the issues that divide us are not important and we must hold fast to traditional values, such as courage and loyalty.
The truth is always a good story. The British docu-drama A Night to Remember (1958) is the most authentic of the Titanic films, depicting the events without fictional characters or subplots. For many survivors the realism was just too painful. A few months before her death in 1959, Emma Bliss was in the hospital and invited to watch a showing of the movie. She couldn’t help but cry at the painful memories the film evoked. Almost all of the stewards and three of the first-class stewardesses lost their lives.
A Night to Remember portrays the stiff-upper-lip British officers as gallant heroes saving noble aristocrats. A true-to-life scene shows yachtsman Major Arthur Peuchen climbing down ropes to help man lifeboat #6. His survival led to his undoing, branded a coward back in polite Toronto society for not being ‘gentleman’ enough to go down with the ship.
Lifeboat #6 must surely be the most famous in popular culture. In Titanic (1953), Mrs. Sturges is saved on this lifeboat, but her young son gives up his seat for a lady (in fact, #6 was lowered less than half-full.) In Titanic (1997), brash Molly Brown implores Rose to climb in, but Rose runs away. The real Margaret Brown was never called Molly in her lifetime. Her nickname was Maggie, but Molly sounded better in The Unsinkable Molly Brown (1964). Mrs. Brown and Major Peuchen argued with Quartermaster Robert Hichens who refused to go back to pick up people freezing to death in the icy water, saying, “It’s our lives now, not theirs.” It was Hichens who was at the wheel when the great ship hit the iceberg.
The silver screen echoes real events. Wealthy hockey player Quigg Baxter of Montreal smuggled his new girlfriend on board under an assumed name, a forbidden love across class divisions. Quigg introduced Belgian cabaret singer Berthe Mayne to his mother and sister at lifeboat #6. His last words were, “Look after her, au revoir.”
James Cameron’s epic Titanic (1997) is a star-crossed love story set onboard a ship run by incompetent officers and heartless aristocrats. In this romanticized account, steerage passenger Jack teaches privileged Rose to rebel and spit in the face of upper class vultures like Cal. Cameron gives a nod to his Ontario roots by naming the villain ‘Caledon Hockley’ and having Jack from Chippewa Falls (the director grew up in Chippawa, part of Niagara Falls.) A favourite ‘evil queen’ in movies is Lady Duff Gordon, the fashion designer ‘Lucille’, who spent her early childhood in Guelph as ordinary Lucy Sutherland.
One heart-breaking event was the loss of the Allison family as told in the recent miniseries Titanic (2012). Hud and Bess Allison were returning to Canada with 2-year-old Loraine, 11-month-old Trevor and an entourage of servants. In the confusion the nanny took Trevor to lifeboat #11 and both were saved. Holding Loraine, a frantic Mrs. Allison jumped out of boat 6 and refused to leave the ship without her baby boy. Loraine was the only first or second class child lost in the tragedy.
The British miniseries tells the story through the eyes of characters from the crew and the different social classes. An Italian waiter falls in love with an English stewardess who tries to help Bess Allison. An episode shows the real actress Dorothy Gibson, who would survive to make Saved from the Titanic, the first movie about the disaster, released within a month.
The true story of the Titanic is more compelling than anything Hollywood could invent. Behind every scene is a human face with a story to be told and a life to be remembered. And the band really did play on…

On April 15, 1939 four Toronto-area survivors met for a Titanic reunion dinner. Elizabeth and Madeleine attended along with stewardess Emma Bliss who also lived in the Beach for many years with her three adult children (Mrs. Amy Armstrong on Balmy Avenue, Ernest on Hubbard Boulevard, Henry). The man who arranged the reunion was John Collins, who at 17 had been swept off the deck of the sinking ship while trying to rescue a woman and her two infant children. Collins pulled himself aboard collapsible B and was saved by that same tin whistle, the only teenage crew member to survive, though “the child was washed out of my arms.” It was a memory that would haunt the young man’s mind for the rest of his life. John Collins died in a Belfast psychiatric hospital in 1941. The young assistant cook was fondly remembered by Emma Bliss, who lived to the ripe old age of 93. She died at Nevers Nursing Home on Beech Avenue in 1959; her funeral was held at the long-gone Wear Funeral Home at 2114 Queen St East.
