Call them concentration camps, prison camps, or “reeducation” centers, but didn’t the world proclaim, “Never again” after the horrors of Stalin and the Nazis were revealed? That promise appears not to have been kept.
Satellite images collected by Amnesty International reveal that brutal prison camps in North Korea have grown considerably in the last decade, swelling to approximately 200,000 prisoners being starved and worked to death for political crimes or simply being related to someone accused of such an infraction. In the sixty years since the camps were established, only thirty have escaped the “re-education centers” to tell their tales of horror, and only three are known to have escaped what are known as “Total Control Zones.”
The government of North Korea has always denied the existence of the camps, yet they appear to be in plain sight of the world’s satellites. The question now is, what can we do with this knowledge?

This is the hell going on in North Korea.
According to the article few have ever escaped these camps (only 3 from the “Total Control Zone”). :-(
ouch :-(

The wait it over! (Yay!) Nobody is more surprised (or happy) than I, but yes—it’s finally here—the Kelby Training Online app, for iPad AND iPhone, is now available for FREE in the App Store. Oh happy freakin’ day!!! Here’s the link.
Here’s the full screen view with Matty K on screen. I purposely chose a capture where his mouth was frozen open like that. He gets a kick out of it when I capture him at precise moments like this.

Here’s a look at the Portrait orientation view. That’s Joe McNally gesturing to what he would call a “Luminous Light Source.”
I am so excited (relieved) that’s it’s finally here. It actually came out late last night, I was already getting emails from people who are already using and totally loving it! My thanks to iPad developer (and App book author) Shawn Welch for his fantastic work on the App, along with our own in-house team who worked so hard to get this App up and running, including Kleber Stephenson, Erik Kuna, Paul Wilder, Dave Moser, Matt Kloskowski, RC Concepcion, Brad Moore, and Tommy Maloney.
Did I mention the Kelby Training Online iPad app is here now? I did? Well…whoo hoo!!!

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, more than 400,000 women ages 15 to 49 were raped in a 12-month period. That is 1,152 every day, 48 every hour, and four every five minutes. Researchers say the rapes are not only a grievous mass violation of human rights but also a security threat to the entire country.
An examinations of data collected by the DRC's National Ministries of Planning and Health show the levels of rape and sexual violence against women in the country are 26 times higher than official United Nations estimates.
“The shockingly high number is also seven times higher than the estimated 57,000 women raped during Sierra Leone’s entire 10-year conflict," says Tia Palermo, assistant professor of preventive medicine at Stony Brook University.
