The Slow Rise of Asian Canadian Docs

From the back door to centre stage

At a Toronto variety store, amid racks of candy, lottery tickets and cigarettes, a Korean couple battles their Canadian-born children. The father demands that his kids finish school, get married and start families. No exceptions. The children rail against his constant pressure, while outside the store they try to blend with their Canadian peers. They also feel burdened knowing that their folks are sacrificing so much to give them a better life. “There’s a distinct line between us and my dad,” laments a daughter.

This isn’t Kim’s Convenience, but Scenes from a Corner Store, Sun- Kyung (Sunny) Yi’s award-winning documentary from 1996 that pre-dates the CBC-TV series by 20 years. After being largely shut out of feature films and TV series, Asian-Canadian filmmakers have sneaked in through the back door of documentaries.

“Obviously, fiction/TV series demand a much bigger budget with a more complex financing structure,” explains Yi, who runs the Documentary Filmmaking Institute at Toronto’s Seneca College. Given the star system, adds Vancouver’s Julia Kwan, “there are still no Asian Canadian/American actors who are considered ‘bankable’ as dramatic/comedic leads in films. In contrast, I don’t feel we are saddled at all with needing a white star attached to get a documentary made. There’s less of that commercially viable aspect.”

Victims and heroes

“The immigrant experience screams non-fiction,” says Carolyn Wong. “It’s about truth, sharing what happened to us.”

Segregation and exploitation are shameful chapters in Canadian history, and Asians have borne the brunt of them. Arts councils and other government funders stress auteur-driven films which, along with official multiculturalism, have encouraged the creation of personal docs and opened the door to telling Asian-Canadian history on screen.

Yin Yin/Jade Love from Carolyn Wong Films on Vimeo.

Wong’s Yin Yin/Jade Love (2002) is a Dickensian tale about her Chinese grandmother on her father’s side. Yin yin escaped her impoverished village by being sold to a Chinese family in Victoria as a servant, but was then married to an older man to bear children.
His other wife back in China couldn’t. (Two wives were common.) The Depression, discrimination and her husband’s cruelty forced Yin yin to return to China with their children. However, living with the first wife was unbearable, and the Japanese threatened to invade, so Yin yin moved back to Victoria. But she could afford to take only two of her four children, making an agonising “Sophie’s choice.”

Yin yin juggled jobs and bore even more children. Things worsened in 1962, when her husband moved his first wife and Yin yin’s two missing children into their house. Harrowing as it is, Yin yin’s story represents the experiences of many Chinese-Canadian women of her era.

Obachan’s Garden

Linda Ohama takes us on a similar journey in Obachan’s Garden (2001), which profiles her 103-year-old Japanese-born grandmother. In Hiroshima, Asayo Murakami bore two children before her husband spirited them to Tokyo. Being a woman in Japan, Asayo was powerless to stop him. Asayo then moved to Canada to marry a Japanese-Canadian man after they mailed each other photos. Sadly, there was no chemistry and, refusing to stay with a man she didn’t love, Asayo left him, which was highly unusual for the time.

Asayo would go on to marry a man to her liking—a widower with two kids—and have eight children with him before Pearl Harbor. Like many Japanese Canadians, Asayo’s family was interned, their assets seized, and forced onto a sugar beet farm in Manitoba. After the war, they settled as farmers in Alberta. Ohama’s film peels back layer upon layer of her grandmother’s life and, by the end, we learn what happened to the children whom her first husband took to Tokyo.

Only through documentary could Wong and Ohama tell their tales faithfully. “Perhaps we feel the need to tell our stories in a more truthful way than fictionalised,” says Wong. “Because of the distorted depictions of our community created by non-Asian Canadians in fictional narratives, we want to set the record straight.”

Unwanted Soldiers

Jari Osborne also employed the personal doc to uncover her family’s skeletons, but in Unwanted Soldiers she also tells a wider history lesson. Her 1999 Gemini-winner pays tribute to her grandfather, Alex Louie, who fought in World War II so that Canada would grant Chinese Canadians the vote. Louie also could not work for the government, become a doctor or attend university.

In the Shadow of Gold Mountain

The same reason compelled Karen Cho’s grandfather to enlist, according to In the Shadow of Gold Mountain (1990). The military service of these Chinese Canadians led, in 1947, to Ottawa repealing the Chinese Exclusion Act, Canada’s apartheid policy. However, the issue of the Chinese Head Tax remained for decades. In 1923, Cho’s Chinese grandfather paid $500 [$7,100 today] just to enter Canada, while Europeans freely settled. A sixth-generation Canadian of mixed European/Chinese heritage, Cho travelled from Montreal to Vancouver to gather stories from the last survivors of the tax.

Similarly, Montreal’s William Ging Wee Dere with co-director Malcolm Guy explored his family roots in 1993’s Moving the Mountain. His doc goes as far back as the 1850s to the first Chinese who panned for gold in the Fraser River Valley then toiled for pennies to build the national railroad. Once the last spike was driven, Canada imposed the head tax in 1885. Both documentaries fuelled the campaign for redress that happened in 2006. Moreover, these films preserve the memories of the early Chinese immigrants for posterity.

Continuous Journey

Sadly, the veterans onboard the Komagata Maru in 1914 received a bloodier fate. Ali Kazimi’s powerful Continuous Journey (2004) tells the story of a ship carrying 376 Indian immigrants to Vancouver Harbour. Many had served in the British Indian Army and they believed, as English subjects, they had the right to settle anywhere in the Empire. However, Indians faced an obscure policy dictating that no immigrant could enter Canada if they stopped anywhere during their travel from their origin country. The problem is that all commercial ships stopped either in Japan or Hawaii on their way to Canada from India.

Gurdit Singh, a Sikh entrepreneur, hired a private vessel to challenge this law. When the Komagata Maru arrived in Vancouver, Canadian authorities forbade anyone from leaving the ship for two months, nearly starving the passengers. In the end, only 24 were allowed to disembark. The rest were forced to return to India where police tried to arrest Singh and other leaders for being radicals. A riot erupted and 19 died.

There were victims like the ones on the Komagata Maru, but also heroes, including the subjects of Jari Osborne’s Sleeping Tigers: The Asahi Baseball Story (2003). The Tigers were the champs of the Pacific Northwest until they lost everything and were herded into internment camps after Pearl Harbor. Within the barbed wire, though, the Tigers played with such exuberance that the white locals and even RCMP officials joined them, temporarily breaking down racial barriers. After the war, these Asians would once again be treated as Canadian citizens.

Everything Will Be

The second wave

The first wave of Asian-Canadian docs, which started in the 1990s, told history through 1947, when anti-Asian segregation finally ended. Once that foundation was built, a second wave emerged. These filmmakers address contemporary issues including the generation gap, assimilation and the global diaspora.

Ironically, Canadian funders support these films, but elder Asian-Canadians do not. “Many immigrant parents encourage their children towards more traditional, stable career paths,” explains Sunny Yi. “While the Asian community has a long history in Canada, documentary filmmaking as a career choice is relatively new.”

Defying her community, Yi became a journalist and then a documentarian with Scenes from a Corner Store. Expecting his daughters to graduate university, make money, get married to a Korean man and have babies, Mr. Bak in Yi’s film represents the typical old-world Asian parent dictating his values to his new-world kids. Bak sees it as his paternal duty to sacrifice for his children and, in return, expects them to do what he says. Naturally, his girls resisted despite their underlying love for their father and mother. Yi’s film was important because it looked at Asians in Canada today. The only other Canadian film (or TV series) to feature a contemporary Asian family (and with precisely that dilemma) was Mina Shum’s fine 1994 feature, Double Happiness.

Assimilating into Canadian (read: white) society inevitably meant inter-marriage, especially for the Japanese. In 2005, Kelowna’s Jeff Chiba Stearns explored his confusion over his Japanese-Scottish ancestry with the short animated doc, What Are You Anyways? Five years later, Stearns widened his scope by observing how everyone in his extended family had married white people.

“I strongly believe that in order to progress through life we have to be constantly questioning who we are,” explains Stearns, “and how identity plays a huge role in that, especially if you’re mixed. I do kind of feel obligated to tell stories with a multi-ethnic subject because there’s so few of us doing it.”

"What Are You Anyways?" from Meditating Bunny Studio Inc. on Vimeo.

As Asian-Canadian families evolve, so do their physical communities. Julia Kwan’s Everything Will Be is a poignant observational doc showing how gentrification has transformed Vancouver’s once-homogenous, working-class Chinatown. “The more recent Chinese immigrants from mainland China rarely frequented Vancouver’s Chinatown and found the neighbourhood unsanitary and out of touch,” Kwan explains. Her 2014 film could easily be about Toronto, where the Chinese are moving up in Canadian society and moving away from their old communities. “The vitality of Vancouver’s Chinatown suffered from the satellite Chinatowns in the lower Mainland, mainly Richmond,” explains Kwan.

I doubt that a non-Chinese filmmaker could have made Everything Will Be with the same intimacy or understanding. During research, Kwan discovered that a Chinese society was offended by Michael Cimino filming the framed portraits of its founders and implying that they were New York mafia heads in his trashy gangster film, Year of the Dragon (1985).

Everything Will Be, Julia Kwan, provided by the National Film Board of Canada

“We bring unique perspectives to our stories,” says Toronto’s Lalita Krishna. “It’s an insider view, not the stereotypical one, communicated in a language that all Canadians can understand.” That inside access helped Krishna make her recent Listen to Me, which tackles domestic violence and forced marriage in Canada’s South Asian community. Though discussed in mainstream Canada, these remain taboo subjects to South Asians. The film’s subject, Farrah Khan, is an unrelenting advocate for young women battling domestic violence, empowering them through rap, photography and cartooning.

An altogether different hero is Tiger Jeet Singh of Krishna’s Tiger! (2005). Singh was a wrestling star for decades in, of all places, Japan, while becoming a wealthy grandfather in small-town Ontario. The film documents a match he fought when he was nearly 60, almost twice the age of his opponent. “Tiger breaks many stereotypes,” says Krishna. “There aren’t many South Asian pro wrestlers…who were Canadian icons in the wrestling world.”

Nor many acrobats and magicians. That’s precisely what Ann Marie Fleming captured in 2003’s The Magical Life of Long Tack Sam. Infused with dazzling animation, her documentary tells the colourful life of her great-grandfather who grew up in northeast China, a hotbed of acrobats, and became a star in early-20th-century America, once opening for the Marx Brothers. Long Tack Sam’s life takes the viewer on a wild ride through the first half of that century and memorialises an artist who succeeded against systemic odds.

Sam’s and Singh’s lives are rags-to-riches stories like Jim Kook’s. Using a dead man’s I.D., Kook outwitted the Chinese Exclusion Act to open a cafe in the Prairie town of Outlook, Saskatchewan. A gregarious fellow, he thrived for four decades and became the town’s most beloved citizen. Kook’s story is part of Cheuk Kwan’s self-financed 15-part series Chinese Restaurants. Kwan visited Chinese restaurants around the world and, in doing so, told the history of the Chinese diaspora, from Saskatchewan to South Africa.

The Defector

Like Chinese Restaurants, Nisha Pahuja’s The World Before Her (2012), about beauty pageants and terrorists in India; Ann Shin’s The Defector: Escape from North Korea (2012), about people escaping Kim Jong-un through China; Lixin Fan’s Last Train Home (2009) about migrant workers in China returning home for the New Year; and Yung Chang’s Up the Yangtze (2007) about China’s Three Gorges Dam, look outside Canada but bring Canadian values to their films. So does Tiffany Hsiung’s The Apology (2016), which tackles a taboo subject in Asia: comfort women. These were the approximately 200,000 sex slaves whom Japanese soldiers kidnapped and tortured from Korea, China and across Asia during World War II. Hsiung’s film profiles three aging survivors seeking official redress from Japan before they die.

These films scored international acclaim and strengthened Canada’s reputation for documentary, ironically by examining subjects beyond our borders. In two decades, Asian-Canadian docs have come full circle. These filmmakers began by telling historical stories of immigrating to Canada, but have literally returned to their ancestral homes.

The next frontier

What is an Asian-Canadian documentarian now?

Many Asian Canadians have also made docs outside their culture. Toronto’s Min-Sook Lee has directed films about Austrians fighting Nazis (The Real Inglorious Bastards, 2012) and exploited farm workers (Migrant Dreams, 2016). In addition to her fictional features, Vancouver’s Mina Shum helmed 2015’s Ninth Floor, about a 1969 student occupation to protest racism against blacks at Montreal’s Sir George Williams University. From Toronto, Rama Rau’s League of Exotique Dancers explores the world of vintage burlesque dancers.

Today, Asian-Canadian documentarians are simply Canadian doc makers, who make films that excite them regardless of where the creative lightning strikes. “I don’t feel obligated to tell the stories of ‘my community,’ ‘my people,’” says Sunny Yi. “I feel obligated to tell stories that I think are worth exploring—and that starts with a question, a personal question, that I want to find answers to. Simple and complicated as that.”

Seen on the Purple Line to Linden at about 8:30 a.m.

Fred’s unashamed of his weight. It’s just who he is, and it’s never stopped him from working or traveling, or even dating. You’d be surprised how many ladies like a big man in bed. Still, whenever he rides the train, Fred plops his body down next to girls—usually young, skinny girls. Girls who would normally scorn him. His fat rolls over into the next seat and warms their hips. If they glare or pull away, he smiles and scoots closer. He wants to show them what they’re missing.

Sorry to real-life Fred who is probably a perfectly nice person. So many creepers on the train, though. I feel obligated to write a few stories about them, for the sake of verisimilitude. (BAM! I just got to use verisimilitude correctly in a sentence.)

PTI March 2012 Blog Hop

                                                                          Blog hop inspiration

Did you ever have one of those days? You know...... when the light crashes and burns, the cat climbs into your photo/light box and knocks everything over, every single design fails (despite the fact that you  have been thinking about ideas all week), AND your craft area looks like a ten toddlers have been playing with every stamp, ink pad and piece of CS that you own?? Yup, I had one of those days. However, I still really, really wanted to partake in the PTI Blog Hop! Love, love the yellow and aqua color combo!

Anyway, tomorrow is another day and I will, hopefully, have: 1) new light bulbs 2) more sunshine and 3) additional creative mojo (perhaps I can recycle the plethora of yellow/aqua design elements!).

Thanks so much!

Lower Hudson Valley pages of NYS LGBT Family Photo Album on display

The New York State LGBT Family Photo Album on display in April 2007
At LGBT Equality & Justice Day in Albany

Last Wednesday a portion of the New York State LGBT Family Photo Album began a nine-day exhibition at an art gallery in Larchmont. The album is a collection pages made by families and individuals--gay and straight--who declare their support for marriage equality simply through photos of their everyday life.

Last year the photo album was the center of controversy when it was unveiled in another part of the Lower Hudson Valley. In February 2007, part of the album was was to be displayed for a month at a Cosi restaurant in New Rochelle. The display, however, was ordered taken down after less than one day of being on display because Cosi corporate headquarters received "complaints" from people who claimed to be offended by the sight of same-sex couples at family celebrations, smiling with their children or enjoying a vacation, etc. The Pride Agenda and local community (including many straight allies), however, immediately responded and organized, demanding that the display go back up. After thousands of emails and phone calls flooded Cosi's corporate headquarters within a period of less than 24 hours, the display was put back up and remained up for the entire duration of the planned exhibition.

Last week's reception in Larchmont was much less dramatic, but more than 70 people packed into the art gallery to see the album once again on display. Same-sex couples, parents, friends, neighbors and coworkers gathered to enjoy the exhibit and support the call for marriage equality in New York State.

You can watch News 12 Westchester's coverage of the event.

The exhibition runs through January 25 at Larchmont's Palmer Art Gallery.

Kenneth Behring Hosts Celebration of School Leaders

A long-time supporter of visionary school leadership, Kenneth Behring hosted a celebration at his Blackhawk Museum to honor those who are making a tremendous impact on building safe, equitable and enriched learning environments in K-12 schools.

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson joined Behring on March 1 as they celebrated the graduates of UC Berkeley Graduate School of Education’s Principal Leadership Institute (PLI).

Mr. Behring’s support of PLI has led to more than 400 vice principals, principals, superintendents and other school administrators developing the knowledge, skills, vision and leadership to improve the quality of teaching and learning in urban public schools throughout California.

“Leaders with vision and the talent to implement that vision are critical for our schools and children. I am pleased to be able to support the Principal Leadership Institute and the quality people who graduate from the program,” said Mr. Behring, who generously underwrote the March 1 event.

Torlakson, who has also served in the State Assembly, has long championed policies and legislation that bolster the quality of public education in California.

“A world-class education is the sum of many parts, including great teachers, engaged students, well-equipped classrooms – and the strong leaders who help make it all possible,” said Torlakson, who earned his master's degree in education from the Graduate School of Education at UC Berkeley.

“That's why I am pleased to help celebrate the talented, dedicated principals and superintendents in our schools who work every day to create safe and rich learning environments for all of California's children,” he said.

Mr. Behring also matched dollar-for-dollar all donations raised for the event, which benefits scholarships for aspiring school leaders.

CDC's BRFSS Prevalence Data--Start Page

I found you guys another cool tool, especially if you are doing research.

"Established in 1984 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is a state-based system of health surveys that collects information on health risk behaviors, preventive health practices, and health care access primarily related to chronic disease and injury. For many states, the BRFSS is the only available source of timely, accurate data on health-related behaviors. "

Click the title link for the start page.

Be sure to check out these two pages:

BRFSS--Site Map

  1. I told my friend about your site. She's a social worker for a school system. She plans on making use of it once school's back in. Thanks for your continued diligence!

  2. Boy I needed that! Thanks! I was feeling like maybe it had worn out it's usefulness as I only had four or five visitors today. Thanks again :)

  3. Gosh, I really hope you realise you are providing a really useful set of links here. Mental note to remind myself to actually say so from time to time..

  4. thanks, cb! it means a lot to know people actually are using the resources I provide here. i know it's summer and that's a bad time for sites such as mine, so i just have to bit the bullet and deal with it :)

Blackholes Black holes are objects so dense that not even light can escape their gravity, and since nothing can travel faster than light, nothing can escape from inside a black hole . Loosely speaking, a black hole is a region of space that has so much mass concentrated in it that there is no way for a nearby object to escape its gravitational pull. Since our best theory of gravity at the moment is Einstein's general theory of relativity, we have to delve into some results of this theory to understand black holes in detail, by thinking about gravity under fairly simple circumstances. Suppose that you are standing on the surface of a planet. You throw a rock straight up into the air.

Assuming you don't throw it too hard, it will rise for a while, but eventually the acceleration due to the planet's gravity will make it start to fall down again. If you threw the rock hard enough, though, you could make it escape the planet's gravity entirely. It would keep on rising forever. The speed with which you need to throw the rock in order that it just barely escapes the planet's gravity is called the escape velocity. As you would expect, the escape velocity depends on the mass of the planet: if the planet is extremely massive, then its gravity is very strong, and the escape velocity is high.

A lighter planet would have a smaller escape velocity. The escape velocity also depends on how far you are from the planet's center: the closer you are, the higher the escape velocity . The Earth's escape velocity is 11.2 kilometers per second (about 25,000 M.P.H.), while the Moon's is only 2.4 kilometers per second (about 5300 M.P.H.).We cannot see it, but radiation is emitted by any matter that gets swallowed by black hole in the form of X-rays. Matter usually orbits a black hole before being swallowed. The matter spins very fast and with other matter forms an accretion disk of rapidly spinning matter.

This accretion disk heats up through friction to such high temperatures that it emits X-rays. And also there is some X-ray sources which have all the properties described above. Unfortunately it is impossible to distinguish between a black hole and a neutron star unless we can prove that the mass of the unseen component is too great for a neutron star. Strong evidence was found by Royal Greenwich Observatory astronomers that one of these sources called Cyg X-1 (which means the first X-ray source discovered in the constellation of Cygnus) does indeed contain a black hole. It is possible there for a star to be swallowed by the black hole.

The pull of gravity on such a star will be so strong as to break it up into its component atoms, and throw them out at high speed in all directions. Astronomers have found a half-dozen or so binary star systems (two stars orbiting each other) where one of the stars is invisible, yet must be there since it pulls with enough gravitational force on the other visible star to make that star orbit around their common center of gravity and the mass of the invisible star is considerably greater than 3 to 5 solar masses. Therefore these invisible stars are thought to be good candidate black holes. There is also evidence that super-massive black holes (about 1 billion solar masses) exist at the centers of many galaxies and quasars. In this latter case other explanations of the output of energy by quasars are not as good as the explanation using a super-massive black hole. A black hole is formed when a star of more than 5 solar masses runs out of energy fuel, and the outer layers of gas is thrown out in a supernova explosion.

The core of the star collapses to a super dense neutron star or a Black Hole where even the atomic nuclei are squeezed together. The energy density goes to infinity. For a Black Hole, the radius becomes smaller than the Schwarzschild radius, which defines the horizon of the Black Hole: The death explosion of a massive star, resulting in a sharp increase in brightness followed by a gradual fading. At peak light output, supernova explosions can outshine a galaxy. The outer layers of the exploding star are blasted out in a radioactive cloud.

This expanding cloud, visible long after the initial explosion fades from view, forms a supernova remnant. So, a black hole is an object, which is so compact that the escape velocity from its surface is greater than the speed of light. The following table lists escape velocities and Schwarzchild radii for some objects: The black hole masses ranging from 4 to 15 Suns (1 solar mass = 1 Msun = 2 x 1033 grams.) And are believed to be formed during supernova explosions. The after-effects are observed in some X-ray binaries known as black hole candidates. The velocity depends on the mass of the planet.

The scientists believe if our Sun dies, the sun may turn into a black hole. Black holes were theorized about as early as 1783, when John Michell mistakenly combined Newtonian gravitation with the corpuscular theory of light . The concept of an escape velocity, Vesc, was well known, and even though the speed of light wasn't, Michell's idea worked the same. He showed that Vesc was proportional to mass/circumference and reasoned that, for a compact enough star, Vesc might well exceed the speed of light. His mistakes were twofold: he subscribed to the corpuscular theory of light, and he assumed that Newton's law of universal gravitation could apply to such a situation.

These mistakes happened to cancel each other out, but when the wave theory of light gained favor, the astronomers abandoned these dark stars. In the beginning of the 20th century, Einstein proposed his theory of general relativity. The formula worked out by Michell and rederived, this time without mistakes in the derivation, by Karl Schwarzschild, gives the Schwarzschild radius for any massive body (that is, a body containing mass): RS= 2GM/c2. Vesc for any body smaller than this radius would exceed that of light, and since general relativity forbids this; any matter within RS would be crushed into the center. Thus RS can effectively be thought of as the boundary of a black hole, called an event horizon because all events within RS are causally disconnected from the rest of the universe.

There arent many physical features of a black hole. In an aphorism coined by John Wheeler , black holes have no hair, hair meaning surface features from which details of it's formation might be obtained. There are no perturbations in its event horizon, no magnetic fields. The hole is perfectly spherical and in fact has only three attributes: it's mass, it's spin (angular momentum), and it's electric charge. Of these properties, it is only the mass that concerns astronomers.

As a cloud of gas contracts, the interior heats up until the core is so hot and dense that nuclear reactions can occur. This nucleosynthesis of hydrogen into heavier elements generates a tremendous pressure, according to the ideal gas law P=NkT, and this pressure holds the star up against further gravitational collapse. This state of equilibrium, during which a star is said to be on the main sequence, lasts until the hydrogen in the core is used up, about 10 billion years for a star like the sun, whereupon gravity will resume shrinking the star. Exactly what occurs next depends on the complicated interactions between different layers of the star, but generally, the star will explode in a supernova. If there is any remnant of this explosion, its further evolution depends almost exclusively on it's mass. A remnant below ~1.4 M (@) will collapse until it can be supported by electron degeneracy pressure and form a white dwarf.

A remnant between ~1.4 and ~3 M(@) is halted by neutron degeneracy pressure and forms a neutron star. Degeneracy pressure is an effect that results from quantum mechanical interactions when the density of subatomic particles increases. As it depends only on this density, it is non-thermal and will remain no matter how much the star cools down. Still for remnants above ~3 M(@), not even degeneracy pressure can counter the force of gravity, and a black hole is born. This was the general base that general relativity gave to astronomers, but just because something is allowed to happen doesn't mean that it does. Most astronomers resisted such absurd realities. Astronomers are very conservative by nature, and some of the most respected and influential astronomers of the day rejected this idea so soundly that it wasn't until the 60's that any actual searches began.

At first, the only instruments available were the old familiar optical telescopes. Optical telescopes are just what they sound like, telescopes sensitive to the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum . This spectrum can reveal much information regarding the source of the light. The color indicates the temperature of a star. By combining the type of star, identified by observing lots of other stars with similar characteristics, and our models of stellar processes with a measurement of the star's luminosity, it is possible to calculate the distance to the star. We can even determine the chemical composition of the star by observing any emission or absorption lines in the spectra. Furthermore, these lines are very distinctive, and if they appear in the correct relation to each other but have been Doppler-shifted towards the red or blue ends of the spectrum, a measurement of the star's speed relative to the earth can be obtained.

The only distinguishing feature of a black hole is its gravity, however, and searching for a black hole with an optical telescope is next to impossible. A black hole does not give off any light. It's too small to observe by blocking out stars behind it. It could act as a gravitational lens, but to do so it would have to be directly in line with the Earth and some bright object, and even then there would be no way to distinguish between a black hole or a very dim star. Still, there was on promising method proposed by Russian astronomers Zel'dovich and Guseinov in 1964.

If the black hole was in a binary system with another, normal star, the light curve of the system would give it away. Binary systems comprise about half of all known stars, so it is not unlikely that a black hole might be found next to a normal star. In a spectroscopic binary system, the stars rotate about their center of mass and the light will be Doppler shifted. The light curve of a star is a graph of the intensity or Doppler-shift of light from the star versus time. Here the light curve of the visible companion can yield much information. The period of rotation about the center of mass can be determined by inspection of the Doppler-shifted light curve itself, and the mass of the visible star is given by the type of star and how luminous it is.

All that is then needed is a reasonable estimation of the ...

‘Trench Art’ model of a Maxim gun, 1916

A finely detailed, ‘Trench Art’ model of a 1916 Maxim machine gun on a tripod stand and metal covered hardwood base, with large calibre casings acting as the feet. The model has numerous moving parts including a cocking-lever, trigger and an elevator screw to adjust the angle of the gun, and fitted on the base is an ammunition can with an opening lid and a water can with a chained stopper and swivelling handle.

The plaque, with regimental markings and stamped MASCHINENGEWEHR-SCHÜTZE K. HOLZNER 33.DIV strongly indicate this was made at the time of the Battle of Verdun. German made trench art is very scarce, and it would follow that this model was made by a German soldier, rather than a non-combatant or civilian, due to the well-observed nature of the piece.

Length overall: 18 inches (46 cm).
