My two favorite things to do as a kid were either play games or be outside. And if I could do BOTH and the game involved physical activity outside it was basically the best day ever! (And by "when I was a kid" I actually mean currently as a 26 year old...) There is just something about active games and fresh air and sunshine that are glorious for my soul. Now living in Minnesota, I feel the pull even more to soak up the months where the inside of your nose doesn't freeze as soon as you step outside….how does summer fly by so fast???! We may never know that answer, but at Fly Feet we want to soak it up with YOU while it is here!
Introducing: Fly Feet Games
Fly Feet Games is a five-week series of outdoor training sessions every Wednesday evening at 6:00 p.m. at The Commons in August. We have pulled together the brain trust of the coaches and created some super fun team workouts at the Commons together as a Fly Feet family. Like all Fly Feet workouts, all abilities and speeds are welcome and it will only be as challenging as you make it. And, if you, like me, are motivated by some good old fashioned competition, you will get a chance to win points each workout that will add up to your overall score. At the final workout we will announce our athletes that won Gold, Silver, and Bronze. (You do not have to tally your scores if you do not want to! This is just an option for those of us who thrive in competition.) Each workout is totally different and you do not have to bring your own team to come. Just show up and we'll organize everyone into teams. Come and play with us!
Each Wednesday in August – 8/2, 8/9, 8/16, 8/23, 8/30
6:00 p.m.
The Commons – 425 Portland Ave. S. (right in front of US Bank Stadium)
Free for members. Non-members, use your class pack.
Sign up online!
Get ready to have SO. MUCH. FUN.

Causes and Risk Factors for High Cholesterol
In addition to blood cholesterol levels, current guidelines for determining heart disease, heart attack and stroke risk also take into consideration factors such as age, gender, race, smoking, blood pressure (and whether hypertension is being properly treated), blood sugar levels, and family history.
Most of the cholesterol that circulates in the bloodstream is LDL ("bad") cholesterol. High LDL levels may result from a combination of the following risk factors:
- Age (over age 45 in men and age 55 in women)
- Certain medications (e.g., some diuretics, immunosuppressants, and corticosteroids)
- Cigarette smoking
- Diseases (e.g., diabetes, hypothyroidism)
- Gender (after menopause, women's LDL levels tend to rise)
- Genetic predisposition (i.e., family history of early heart disease)
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- High dietary intake of cholesterol
- Obesity
- Race
High Cholesterol Risks
Studies have shown that high cholesterol increases the risk for heart attack, stroke, circulation problems and death.
In one study, cholesterol levels in young men with no known heart disease were measured and documented. Researchers then recorded heart attacks and deaths that occurred in the participants during a 6-year period. The study shows that the higher the cholesterol level, the greater the risk for a fatal heart attack. The risk for fatal heart attack is about 5 times greater in those with a cholesterol level of 300 mg/dL or higher than in those with a cholesterol level below 200 mg/dL.
In the Framingham Heart Study, cholesterol levels, smoking habits, heart attack rates, and deaths in the population of an entire town have been recorded for over 50 years. After 30 years, more than 85% of people with cholesterol levels of 180 mg/dL or lower were still alive, compared to about 67% of those with cholesterol levels higher than 260 mg/dL.
Triglycerides are the major form of fat in the body and consist of three fat molecules combined with one glycerol (type of alcohol) molecule. High blood levels of triglycerides are usually caused by a genetic predisposition, or by a high intake of fat or alcohol. The primary risk from high triglyceride levels is inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis).

Former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho will host a Champions League punditry show with RT in Russia.
Mourinho worked for the same channel during the Summer World Cup that was hosted in the same country and his return will see him take on the show after the Champions League round of 16 next week concludes. The show that is dubbed On The Touchline, will start airing on March 7th
The former Real Madrid and Inter Milan coach also filmed a promotional advert of the new show in Russia where he also attended a hockey game and tripped himself while delivering the puck.
"The show will offer unique analysis from the Portuguese managerial great on all the week's Champions League action, as well as special insight into the biggest talking points in the world of football," said RT.
Mourinho will continue his role with Russia Today until the 1 June final. Mourinho was sacked late last year after a turbulent third season at Manchester United. The club has gone on to play ten league games and have not lost a single one across competitions since Ole Gunnar Soslskjaer replaced him.
Mourinho worked as a pundit on the Qatari-based TV station beIN Sports last month.

Today is Monday, June 11th. This week we continue our Summer series at Downtown Hope called "Protagonist". In this series each week we will be studying an Old Testament character to discover how their story points to Christ as the ultimate protagonist. We are giving our Daily writers a break for June and July. Instead of receiving an email M-F you will just receive one email on Monday that will include readings for the entire week. Included will be a format for you to use in your Daily time of solitude with the Lord and with the group you are facilitating.
This week we are diving into the story of Rahab, see the reading plan and format below! Feel free to reach out to our team if you have questions email@example.com
Grace + Peace,
M- Joshua 2.1-14
T- Joshua 2.15-24
W- Joshua 6.1-5; 22-25
TH- Matthew 1.1-17
F- Hebrews 11.1-3; 30-31
GROUPS + Personal Devotional GUIDE:
Choose one of these questions to respond to in your time with the Lord and with your group, spouse or family when you meet.
_ What has been the greatest joy and struggle in the last 24 hours?
_ How is your heart connection with Jesus?
_ Is there anything that has happened that you are celebrating/we can celebrate with you?
_ Is there anything you are going through that you need support for/we can support you in?
One way to pray this summer is to use a simple format that we have been using in our Group's Support Team group. Select a Psalm or a portion of a Psalm and pray through it. In this we are learning to pray Scripture together. Some great Psalms to begin with are Psalm 1, 3, 8, 11, 19, 23, 24, 47, 100, 104, 113, 114. In your prayer time continue to pray for those you are walking with, for the needs you/group are facing, and for the Spirit to open your heart and eyes as you read the passage, which has been completely inspired by God.
Select one of the daily readings for this week from above, read it together in your group and ask the following 3 simple questions
_WHAT is this passage saying, what do we learn and how does it point us to Christ? Look for different literary clues to help you discern the main point of the passage or section. Reach out if you have questions.
_ How would you summarize some of the main points of this passage in your own words?
_ What are some of the main points we learn from this aspect of Rahab's account?
_ Is there something about the passage that points us to Jesus' life, teaching, death, resurrection or reign from heaven?
_ Is there something about the passage that connects to God's redemptive plan in Scripture?
_HOW am I convicted to confess sin and how does the gospel compel me to respond with a simple step of action/obedience? We encourage you to ask this question In break-outs if your group is large or co-ed. The Lord forms us in the gospel through simple steps of obedience, fueled by grace.
_WHO are you walking with to discover or grow in Jesus and what is your next step with them, how can we help? As we are being filled up through the word and Spirit we make ourselves available to God in who he would have us walk with/spend time with who does not yet know Christ. Continually discussing this with the Lord and within our groups allows us to remember how the Lord is working and steps we are called to take.

Oh how I love the random internet rabbit trails that lead me to amazing products!
One such trail led me to EcoDomo and their super cool recycled belt panels which are entirely made from recycled used leather belts. Available in black, brown and multi color. Made in the USA, woot!
I'm imagining a really cool bench in an entry way. I love that each panel would be so unique.

Donkey Kong
The Game: An oversized gorilla kidnaps Mario's girlfriend and hauls her up to the top of a building which is presumably under construction. You are Mario, dodging Donkey Kong's never-ending hail of rolling barrels and "foxfires" in your attempt to climb to the top of the building and topple Donkey Kong. You can actually do this a number of times, and then the game begins again with the aforementioned girlfriend in captivity once more. (Coleco, 1982)
Memories: Almost every line of games has one: a clunker that tanks so hard that it leaves a crater, and serves as the nadir of its entire genre. But given that Coleco was banking its entire video game empire – whether on the Colecovision or on cartridges for the Atari VCS and Intellivision – on Donkey Kong, you'd figure that this would be the one game they would make sure to get right.

Viking Cruises Joins Virtuoso's Luxury Travel Network
The Australian based arm of international luxury cruise line, Viking Cruises, has been accepted into the prestigious ranks of Virtuoso partners, a group of more than 1700 suppliers hand picked to provide high end Virtuoso clients with exclusive benefits with the best products in the luxury travel market.
The inclusion of Viking as a preferred partner for Australia and New Zealand will open new sales and marketing opportunities to the region's luxury travel advisors and their highly desirable clientele.
"Virtuoso has a highly selective vetting process for all of its partner suppliers and Viking Cruises has been strongly endorsed by our Virtuoso agency members" Virtuoso APAC Managing Director, Michael Londregan said today.
"With cruising recording remarkable growth in the Australian luxury travel marketplace, we are pleased our Australian and New Zealand advisors will now have access to special amenities, values and experiences that Viking offers exclusively to the Virtuoso network.
"Australia and New Zealand are leading markets for cruise travellers worldwide and Viking brings both ocean cruising and river cruising options to our network of advisors who are experiencing record demand. Viking's international flavour will be of strong appeal for discerning travellers looking to cruise with an international clientele"
Virtuoso's latest trend data, released earlier this month, has identified cruising as the number one trend for Australian luxury travellers and they are enjoying a range of ocean, river and adventure itineraries.
Viking Cruises Australia and New Zealand Managing Director, Michelle Black, said this was an exciting partnership for the cruise line.
"Virtuoso's acceptance process is incredibly selective, so becoming a preferred partner is a true honour" Ms Black said.
"The reputation Virtuoso member advisors have for outstanding dedication to their clients is a perfect fit with our passion and commitment to delivering an outstanding cruising product.
"Viking has a long term relationship with Virtuoso in the US and we are delighted to also now offer Virtuoso clients in Australia and New Zealand memorable experiences whilst on board our award-winning fleet."
Viking joins Virtuoso's collection of the finest luxury hotels, resorts, cruise lines, airlines, tour operators and other suppliers. These partners, which specialize in world-class client service and experiences, secure Virtuoso clients superior offerings, rare opportunities and exceptional value. Viking's acceptance into Virtuoso gives it direct relationships with leading leisure travel agencies in Australia and New Zealand. These prestigious providers are able to market to Virtuoso clients via network vehicles and to Virtuoso agencies through multiple communications channels and regional events.

Capitol Alert
More undocumented immigrants would qualify for health care in $250 million California plan
Immigrant advocate praises plan for health care coverage for undocumented adults
More than 100,000 undocumented adult immigrants in California would be eligible for state-subsidized health coverage under a major budget push announced by Assembly Democrats on Monday.
Lawmakers are asking Gov. Jerry Brown for $1 billion, a large portion of which would fund a major expansion of Medi-Cal, the state's low-income health care program. Roughly a quarter of the request – $250 million – would extend Medi-Cal to undocumented immigrant adults who are ineligible for coverage.
"We are California. We don't follow, we lead," said Assemblyman Joaquin Arambula, D-Frenso, author of Assembly Bill 2965, which would qualify all undocumented adults for Medi-Cal.
There are an estimated 1.8 million undocumented adult immigrants in California who are uninsured. Roughly 1.2 million of them are low-income and thus would qualify for Medi-Cal, according to state projections. Most rely on expensive emergency room care for routine doctor visits.
The $250 million would cover 11 percent of the uninsured undocumented adults whose incomes are low enough to qualify for Medi-Cal – about 114,000 people, according to lawmakers.
Lawmakers also are asking for millions of dollars to fund premium assistance for low- and middle-income people who struggle with the costs of insurance purchased through the Covered California exchange, to extend Medi-Cal to low-income seniors and disabled people and to expand the ranks of primary care doctors in rural parts of California and other underserved communities.
The move is the first major financial request tied to Democratic-led efforts to expand universal health coverage in California. Lawmakers argued their efforts will help not only the uninsured but also the overall health care system, as rising costs associated with uncompensated care decline.
"It is important that ... we ensure some day that we get to say in the state of California that health care truly is a right," said Assemblyman David Chiu, D-San Francisco.
The money would come from California's $6.1 billion budget surplus, said Assemblyman Phil Ting, D-San Francisco, chairman of the Assembly budget committee.
Brown, in his last year in office, remains a major hurdle.
Brown has warned of a looming recession and has expressed skepticism over making any additional major investments in ongoing spending. He has also already outlined how he intends to spend the surplus. His January budget proposal sets aside $3.5 billion in the state's rainy day fund, with additional spending on voting system upgrades, mental health and an earthquake early warning system.
In recent years, Brown has made major investments to expand health care for low-income uninsured Californians. His office declined to comment specifically on the Assembly budget ask.
"The governor will send his revised budget to the Legislature in the coming week and will provide any updates to his health care proposals at that time," Department of Finance spokesman H.D. Palmer said.
Past efforts to expand health insurance to undocumented adults have failed, including a 2014 bill from state Sen. Ricardo Lara. Spending estimates at the time estimated it would cost up to $900 million a year to cover all undocumented adults. Undocumented children are already eligible for Medi-Cal coverage.
Lara has an identical bill to Arambula's this year.

Academic calls on students to be ethical
Being ethical on a personal level leads to being ethically professionally, an academic at the Divine Word University (DWU) in Madang says.
Vice president Academic Affairs Vice Pamela Norman delivered this message to business professionals recently at the 17th annual Business Ethics Seminar at the DWU Madang campus.
The seminar theme was 'Enhancing professional ethics in business through advancing technology, accessible to all'.
Norman also advised business students to use technology in their work as future professionals in the various business and information technology (IT) fields.
Norman said access to technology determined the success of most businesses and organisations, however, it also required ethical values to push oneself ahead of others.
She said DWU was the leading university in Papua New Guinea which provided information and communications technology (ICT) access for staff and students. Students, she said, were urged to appreciate their to the ICT services.
Roberta Morlin, a former student of DWU, said the use of ICT was expensive in the country and was a cause for delays to progresses across the country.
Morlin said DWU graduates were also faced with this challenge when they completed
their studies and joined the workforce.
Another DWU graduate, Anne Shirley Korave urged students that were still studying to consider self-employment as a viable option.
Korave encouraged students to think big and use the information and communications technology resources Divine Word University offered while the opportunity was there.

I have written to Courtland Milloy of the Washington Post several times regarding his sometimes racist columns and his targeting of whites in many areas of what he perceives are injustices. On his August 18 column he did his ever so common references to "some say…or allege" offering to others non proven allegations as potential proof instead of actually writing about what are facts. This adds to the anger because as we have seen the results from social and news media alike that many believe what is alleged such as the hands up don't shoot mentality instead of finding out the truth are facts. Even when the truth is revealed, these same individuals do not believe it because they have been told something different that someone "alleged" it happened. Mr. Milloy's ill advised retelling of a non proven incident where he repeated the person's allegations that a police sergeant stopped and strip searched him in public and that the sergeant stated when the man told him he was going to call a lawyer "get your n self out of here." This was never proven nor witnessed come forward to support. But the reckless Mr. Milloy repeated it anyway and also included that "it was reported (but never substantiated) that a police lieutenant gave an order to "lock up all of the black hoodies" in her district. Again, reckless and incendiary writing without regard to its reception by readers.
Never does Mr. Milloy bring up the facts of black on black crime, incarceration actually is the result from committing crime (he only says that Blacks are disproportionately incarcerated), or that the trust must come from the black community; only from the police and they must be "retrained." The public safety depends upon our great police men and women who protect. It does not depend upon those who commit crimes, riot as they did in Milwaukee recently or in other locations in Baltimore or St. Louis. Police are are last line of defense in this country. Support them, do not commit crimes and respect them always if you are in any neighborhood but especially one that is crime ridden. Then will safety increase. It is no wonder that police are respected more in neighborhoods away from black inner city neighborhoods; there is less crime committed and people do respect the police and not throw heat seeking verbal missiles at them or other things.
Report the facts Mr. Milloy and not alleged or gossip.

Sponsored by the Bard Globalization and International Affairs Program
Thursday, February 18
Time: 6:00-7:30pm
Location: Bard Graduate Center, 18 West 86th Street, New York, NY 10024
Professor Sean McMeekin of Bard College will discuss his new book on this important and timely topic. Professor Ilgu Ozler, director of the SUNY Global Engagement Program will serve as discussant. This event is co-sponsored by Foreign Affairs Magazine and Bard Middle Eastern Studies.
Between 1911 and 1922, a series of wars-chief among them World War I-would engulf the Ottoman Empire and its successor states. It is a story we think we know well, but as historian Sean McMeekin shows us in THE OTTOMAN ENDGAME: War, Revolution, and the Making of the Modern Middle East, 1908-1923, we know far less than we think. Drawing from McMeekin's years of groundbreaking research in newly opened Ottoman and Russian archives, THE OTTOMAN ENDGAME is a revelatory new history that recounts the social, political, and demographic transformations unfolding across the Middle East in the run-up to and aftermath of World War I. With great storytelling flair, McMeekin brings to light the entire strategic narrative that led to an unstable new order in postwar Middle East-much of which is still felt today.

Forced Relocation of Karen and Mon Villages along Three Pagoda Pass - Thanbyuzayat Motor Road
In the first week of April, 1999, the Southeast Region Military Command, based in Moulmein, the capital of Mon State, has ordered its local military battalions, mainly, IB No. 97, IB No. 32, LIB No. 230 and LIB No. 284, to relocate all majority Karen and some few Mon villagers from 12 villages to the 5 designated villages. The five designated villages are situating on the motor road and they are under firm control of SPDC troops. The five villages are, if recount from Thanbyuzayat town, (1) Yatagon, (2) Anan-gwin, (3) Taung-zun, (4) Maezalee and (5) Chaungzon and the deadline of forced relocation is April 30. The main purpose of forced relocation is to cut off communication and support from Karen civilians to KNU rebels and their military faction, KNLA.
Since the beginning of dry season, in February and March, the SPDC has increased its military activities along Three Pagoda Pass-Thanbyuzayat to force the KNU/KNLA troops out of this area. After IB No. 97 troops arrived and took base in Three Pagoda Pass town, this battalion ordered Karen troops to not collect tax on the motor road. After issuing orders, the Burmese troops continuously launched military operations against KNU/KNLA.
In the last week of February, KNLA troops also arrested 13 custom officers who returned from Three Pagoda Pass with civilian ferries and were brought by Karen troops to a hiding place. The KNLA troops also replied to IB No. 97 to not follow and attack them for safety of the government servants and appealed to allow KNU collecting tax on the motor road. However, Southeast Region Military Command did not listen and accept the appeal by KNU and formed a joint military operation to launch attack against KNLA troops. After six rounds of fighting, 7 of 13 arrested government servants died in the battle fields. After fighting, KNU released the rest servants.
In March, IB No. 97 battalion was changed with LIB No. 284 battalion to take base in Three Pagoda Pass town. Soon after the arrival of LIB No. 284 troops in Three Pagoda Pass town, Southeast Region Military Command planned to move all villagers, who have inhabited in this area for many years, to their designated village, because the villagers in villages along motor road are accused as KNU supporters. Thus, at the beginning of April, the SPDC joint military operation that includes IB No. 284, IB No. 97, IB No. 32 and LIB No. 230, have ordered the local villagers to move into their designated villages. The villages under the forced relocation order are as below:
Villages Households Population
(estimated) (estimated)
(1) Zee-hnitpin 45 220
(2) Law-shan 150 625
(3) Rat-phaw 160 840
(4) Yathay-taung 65 320
(5) Ka-kathit 55 220
(6) Ta-nyin 120 800
(7) Thanpaya 180 1400
(8) Sin-pyay 20 120
(9) Khon-khan 90 480
(10) Ma-law 85 110
(11) Pan-aung 40 230
(12) Tadein 150 1200
The SPDC troops also ordered that if the villagers failed to move from the villages, they must face punishment. First, the deadline for those village is on April 20. Due to the protection by KNLA troops, the SPDC troops delayed the deadline until 30 April. In tactics to stop the forced relocation of the mentioned villages, KNU ordered to close many main motor roads in third week of April and so the SPDC troops have to take security for these roads and have delayed to push the villagers into designated villages.
However, because of forced relocation order, the villagers in these areas have faced unstable situation and refused to move into designated villages, because there is nothing and no assistance must be provided by SPDC troops. Additionally, they could probably face maltreatment by SPDC soldiers Many native villagers owned fruit and rubber plantations, rice-farms, houses, live-stocks and other belongings in their native places and considerably they would not like to abandon their belongings. Thus, whenever the SPDC local battalions' military operation close to their villages, they have to flee from villages to escape from ill-treatment or punishment violated by soldiers. Following this unstable situation, the population displacement also occurs in many areas along Three Pagoda Pass-Thanbyuzayat road.
SPDC Pressure on Mon National Education
(April, 1999)
Before the government schools began in June, 1999, SPDC Mon State authorities have urgently called several rounds of meetings with government educational servants, village leaders and student parents, and have pressured through them for an increase of student numbers in their schools and to stop the children attending Mon national schools. In every meeting, they have called school headmaster/headmistress, village leaders to report the situation of the last educational year and the real numbers of students in school and the estimate numbers of students of Mon schools in every village. Then, they adopted rules for teachers and village headmen to find their own solution in the village community to give pressure to Mon national schools to stop their teaching.
As an example, on February 21 to 23, 1999, Ye Township PDC called a meeting with educational servants and village leaders from all villages and town wards and instructed them to organize the village students to attend government schools. The township authorities also threatened school teachers especially headmaster and headmistress that if the student numbers decrease in their schools, they must be punished. The punishment is that they must be ousted from the service or sent to undeveloped rural village.
Similarly, the government authorities in other townships of Mon State and Karen State also instructed their government educational servants to maintain the increase student numbers through from meetings or orders. This is the preparation of the government authorities to compete against Mon schools. The Mon education institutions have been established in many townships of Mon State and Karen State and have run Mon national education system with main objectives to maintain Mon literature with the modern education.
The problems why many students has moved to Mon schools have been connected with poverty in rural Mon areas. In government schools, the teachers have not tried hard to teach lessons but opened their own tuition classes and organized the students to attend these private classes in non-schooling time to pass the exams. The teachers receive very low salary and that is why they have found another (outside) income for their survival from these private tuition classes. Thus, the poor parents have to send their children to private classes by paying high price and later many students are resigned from schools because the parents could not pay for costs to join the private classes.
As an opportunity, in many Mon villages, the Mon community established many Mon national schools to provide Mon education. Based on patriotic aspiration, the parents have sent their children to attend Mon national schools. On the other hand, they did not have to pay various costs to pass the Mon schools' exams and the schools provided basic education with free of charge.
As a result, during education years from 1995 to 1998, the student numbers in government schools have gradually decreased and many students moved to Mon national schools. In some village, the student numbers in Mon schools were larger 3-4 times than the government schools and when the higher SPDC authorities inspected these government schools, they were furious on the school situation and tried to close down Mon schools which were accused as competing institutions against the government schools.
In July, 1998, the local Mon State PDC authorities have issued serial orders and attempted to close down Mon schools in many rural Mon villages. However, the Mon community under the leadership of wise monks is strong enough to protect the forcible closure of Mon schools operated by SPDC authorities including military intelligence officers. Very little number of Mon schools were closed and many re-opened after the authorities' inspection and action were completed.
Therefore, in coming 1999-2000 educational year, the Mon State PDC authorities worry about the reduction of student numbers in government schools and
that was why they have instructed to their government servants and local village leaders to encourage the students to attend government schools and stopped them from attending Mon national schools.
Tax Collection under the Name of "Border Area Development Program"
(April, 1999)
During March and April, 1999, when SPDC Mon State authorities planned to build a field hospital in Kyaung-ywa village of Ye township, where the area is under NMSP-SLORC/SPDC ceasefire zone, the local Ye township authorities also collected tax from civilians in the township because the government does not provide enough fund to complete the building.
In the SPDC's border area development program, it has planned
to build schools and hospitals in various parts of Mon State because of their
promise to NMSP or Mon people to develop Mon State within three years. Due to
financial shortage in the government budget, the authorities could not make
effort to install many development infrastructure in
Thus, when the Mon State PDC authorities are building to build the Kyaung-ywa field hospital, they really need about 5 millions Kyat to complete the whole
construction. Some lands owned by villagers were already confiscated without compensated costs and the authorities have waited for budget adopted from the government. To build a hospital with about 80 meters length and 20 meters width in estimation, the authorities received only 1.7 million Kyat fund from government and they could not manage to complete the building that instructed by government authorities. Then, the government also instructed the local authorities to collect cash from civilians to complete the building. Hence, the local Ye township authorities collected another 3.3 million Kyat from civilians. According to local villagers, even a poor family has to pay at least 1,000 Kyat to authorities. Over 30 villages and town wards' civilians were forced to pay this fund.
According to one NMSP official who participated in ceasefire talks with government said, on the day when the ceasefire ceremony was holding, NMSP requested many development projects to adopt from the government to actually develop Mon State. In the meeting on June 29, 1995, SLORC's General Secretary No. 1, Lt. Gen. Khin Nyunt, promised that the Mon State must be developed within three years.
Normally, the funds to do these development projects are
transferred from the government's "Ministry of Border Development
Program" and the government has provided only 25% or 33% of the total need
in every project. While the government built Ye-Tavoy
railway construction, the adopted budget is only enough to buy facilities and
so the local military battalions have conscripted tens of thousands of local
civilians to contribute labour in the construction. Similarly when the
government constructed "Attayan" bridge in
Atrocity, Kidnapping and Cash Extortion by SPDC Troops in Ye and Yebyu Area Continue
War, Ceasefire and Suffering of Local Inhabitants
Since the beginning of 1998, until 1999, a Mon armed group, which has no real political name and objectives, just to protect their areas, have been active in many parts of Ye and Yebyu townships area. Geographically, these townships area is at the border area of Mon State and Tenasserim Division and many local inhabitants are making a living as rice cultivation farmers, fruit planting gardeners, day labourers and fishermen.
Soon after SLORC came into power when it invited foreign companies especially from ASEAN countries to exploit ethnic area's national resources, such as sea products and forest products including logs, it had increased the offensive measures against the ethnic rebel groups. The ethnic local inhabitants were always accused as sympathizers or supporters of the identical ethnic armed group by government troops. Due to this allegation, the ethnic people were forced to move from their native places, arrested to be civilian porters in frontline, to contribute free labour in military base constructions. Later on, after the regime decided to exploit natural gas in Andaman Sea by cooperating with most western oil and gas companies, it sent more troops and put more pressure to ethnic armed groups to enter into ceasefire talks and accept the agreement that has no guarantee to solve political problems. During SLORC intensifying pressure on a main Mon armed group, NMSP, and planned to install the foreign companies' enterprise in Tenasserim Division coastal area, the Mon, Karen and Tavoyan local inhabitants have serious suffered from the various types of human rights violation by the government troops. The violations such as forced relocation and dislocation, conscription of forced labour for civilian porters and labourers in constructions, tax extortion and looting, and arbitrary killings and arrests with accusation of rebel-supporters, have been largely committed. To lessen these abuses, so NMSP entered ceasefire talks and agreed for it in June, 1995.
After NMSP-SLORC ceasefire, under the name of "border area development program" the villagers have been continuously suffered from constant and large use of forced labour. The regime has more control on people and NMSP and its military faction, MNLA, had to move more deep frontier area and could not provide much protection like the period while it was fighting against the government.
Consequently, a Mon armed group, has risen up and operated military fighting against the government troops and they were also given name as "robber group" by government troops. Because of this new armed rebellion, the villagers have been re-suffered from various types of inhumane treatments with accusation they are supporters of that armed group.
Our human rights workers have collected the information
about the suffering of local villagers since the group began their armed
fighting and the followings are the accounts that came from the period of last
quarter of 1998 and first quarter of 1999. The previous information of human
rights abuses were already described in our previous reports.
Killing, detaining and torturing
On November 27, 1998, because of a robbery incident happened on Ye-Tavoy motor road, 8 villagers from Kywe-talin village, Yebyu township of Tenasserim Division, were arrested by LIB No. 408, with allegation that they cooperated with robbers. On November 26, when three passenger highway ferries came from Ye, the ferries were stopped by a group of robbers with guns and were robbed by them. Because of this incident, 8 farmers who were working near the incident place were arrested and tortured by Burmese Army's LIB No. 408. Two villagers died after severe torturing and one villager severely pained with inner injury. From another five villagers, only one villager was released after he paid ransom and the remaining four villagers were detained.
After robbery incident, the nearest soldiers from LIB No. 408, which was taking security for motor road, came to incident place and went around rice-fields and fruit plantation nearby. That month, November, was the harvest time, and so nearly all men were in their work-places to complete reaping their crops. Some villagers fled after they knew the soldiers tried to arrest them, and so only 8 villagers were arrested.
The arrested villagers were brought by soldiers to an army outpost on the motor road and they were interrogated whether they have connection with robber group and participated in robbery. During interrogation, the soldiers used various kinds of torturing to villagers. The soldiers tied up the hands of villagers and hanged up in the trees. And they asked various questions that connected to robbery and forced the villagers to admit they were involving in robbery.
Whenever the villagers refused they did not involve or when they cried because tight ropes tied up in their hands, they were severely beaten by soldiers. They were beaten by sticks, gun-butts and tree-branches in the whole of their bodies.
Among the villagers, a father and a son, Nai Bya (65 years) and Nai Maung Shwe (38 years) were severely tortured, because of they were accused that one of their relatives was in the robber group according to LIB No. 408 commander. The soldiers unceasingly beat and hit these two villagers and questioned how they gave support to their relative to get into the motor road to rob the highway ferries. Two men refused that their relative left from village for a long time but did not have contact and know what he was doing. Whenever they refused they were inhumanely tortured. Because of several hours torturing to those men, both of them lost consciousness as a result, and then the Soldiers immediately brought them to Kanbauk village, where their headquarters based. At the end, the two men died of torturing in LIB No. 408's Kanbauk military detention.
Similarly, Nai Ba Khin (a) Nai Bwee (50 years) was also severely beaten while the soldiers asked him many questions about robber group. When he said he
did not know about robbers, he was severely beaten and hit by soldiers. Then the soldiers took a round bamboo stick and rolled all through of his stomach. At the end, he also lost consciousness and got severe injuries in his stomach. Then his family asked the soldiers to bring him to hospital. Then, they brought him to Moulmein public hospital. According medical workers in Moulmein hospital, his main intestine was perforated. Because of proper treatment in hospital, he luckily did not die but had to receive medical treatment in for nearly two months and paid a lot of expenses. The battalion did not take any responsibility to treat the patient or paid treatment costs.
Among the remaining five villagers, Nai Par Dot (45 years old) paid a ransom of 20,000 Kyat to battalion and then he was released. Although he was released because of his serious injuries in his hands because of tight ropes, he had to treat his hands many days. Although the injuries were recovered, his hands were useless and he could not handle anything for many months and he had to treat with herbal medicines continuously.
The rest four villagers, Nai Kar Yi (59 years), Nai Din (45 years), Nai Phu (33 years) and Nai Zin (35 years), have been detained since they were arrested and they were not allowed to meet with their families. The soldiers brought them from one place to another. Until now (the end of April, 1999), their families have not heard any news whether the soldiers put their husbands or fathers to trials and imprisoned. However, the villagers in the area have confirmed that these villagers were honest and they were not participants or collaborators in the robbery incident.
Maltreatment or Punishment against Village Leaders in Rural Area
Besides the villagers who were arrested with accusation as rebel-supporters, the village headmen in the area, especially southern part of Ye township and many parts of Yebyu township, have been constantly suffered from maltreatment abused by SPDC troops, when they could not fulfill the duties that instructed by military commanders. After those village headmen could not fulfill the duties, they always faced at least verbal abuses, such as shooting and threatening to kill, by the commanders or they were beaten. Some village headmen abandoned their poses and fled from their native villages to escape ill-treatment by soldiers.
SPDC has launched military operation to offense from the attack made by Mon armed group in Ye and Yebyu area during 1998 and the beginning of 1999. The villager leaders in the area have to gather cash to feed SPDC soldiers whenever they went into their villages and in addition, have to provide porters for troops to carry ammunitions and food supplies. Thus, the village headmen in the area always have to arrange to gather cash and villager porters for troops as a common responsibility for them. The concerned battalion which has been active in the area also officially instructed the local village headmen to prepare and provide how many porters when they came into village and launched military patrol in the area.
1. Forced Disrobe a Monk for Village Headman
The SPDC troops always came to Kyonekanya village, Ye Township, in every two or three days in patrolling the area. Whenever the troops came into village, the headmen have to arrange to feed the soldiers with foods, liquors and cigarettes. The headmen have to manage providing 20 porters to the SPDC troops, who came into their village. Whenever the SPDC troops came into village, they required to use many villagers as porters to carry ammunitions and soldiers' food supplies. Thus, the headmen had to arrange 20 men on standby and stopped them to not go to their works, rice-farms or fruit plantations or sea. If they failed to manage according to instruction by commanders, they could face punishment.
In feeding the soldiers, the Kyonekanya village headmen had to spend about 20,000 Kyat in each round when over 60 troops stayed in the village. After the troops left from village, they walked around in village and collected cash from the villagers to cover the cost they paid for soldiers' foods. Hence, every household in Kyonekanya village have to pay about 500-1,000 Kyat to headmen to use it for foods that eaten by many troops who came into their villages. Later, after many villagers fled from village to escape maltreatment and such illegal tax extortion, it made the headmen too hard to collect cash from their poor villagers.
When the soldiers dissatisfied on the management of the headmen they were shout or even beaten or slapped. After Kyonekanya village headmen could not tolerate on regular requirement of SPDC troops, the village chairman also fled from village, while secretary entered into monkhood to escape the maltreatment in late September, 1998.
2. Torturing Village Headmen
On September 2, 1998, when SPDC troops from LIB No. 273 went into Taw-bound village (also know as Mee-lin-taing), Ye Township, the village chairman and secretary were also ill-treated by soldiers for their failure to provide the required number of porters.
On a rotation basis, this village had to provide about 5 villager porters, although the village had only 30 households, whenever the SPDC arrived into their village. On that day, the headmen really managed five porters to stay at village on standby and bring them to secretary house. On the eve of the arrival of SPDC troops, one standby villager was sick and went back his home. When the troops arrived into village, they commander met only four villagers and angered to village headmen. Then, he ordered to beat two village headmen, chairman and secretary, and four porters. Therefore, those six villagers were severely beaten by soldiers.
Due to beating, village secretary, Nai Hla Pe (48 year) and a porter, Nai Win, were the most seriously injured among the group. The soldiers also broke a rib of village secretary. As a result, he had to treat at home nearly for one month and later he could not work some hard-works in his farms. Nai Win was treated at home, with village medic and he had to spend about 15,000 Kyat for medical treatment costs. The village chairman, Nai Aung (54 years) sold off his house and other belongings at cheap price and fled to other area to escape from further maltreatment.
On July 23, 1998, when some troops from LIB No. 273 brought food supplies for their military column which took base in a seacoast outpost, they were attacked by Mon troops led by Nai Sein on the half way. In the battle, they lost their foods and Mon troops also confiscated their foods. The attack was happened near Magyi and Khawza fishing villages. Following the attack, the Mon villagers in nearest villages were accused as rebel-supporters or bring rebels to fight, against the Burmese Army.
After attack, LIB No. 273 troops went into many nearer villages and inquired about the activities of Mon troops and also tortured the villagers and village headmen for their failure to inform about activities of Mon troops. While the soldiers were interrogating a village secretary of Khawza fishing village, Nai Dot (40 years), they used the most cruel maltreatment to him. They took a round bamboo stick and pressed and rolled on his stomach several rounds until he lost consciousness.
During he was losing consciousness, his family also asked the troop commander to bring him to hospital for medical treatment. But the commanders denied to send him to hospital. Later two days after the troops left from the village, his family brought him to hospital. He received medical treatment for nearly three weeks in Ye public hospital. According to health workers in hospital, he suffered from serious injuries in his intestines.
Because of the loss of food supplies in the fighting, the troops also asked compensated costs from the nearest three villages. Therefore, three Mon villages near the battle place, Magyi, Kyonekanya and Khawza fishing villages, were ordered to pay 10,000 Kyat respectively to the battalion. The commander said they needed to buy foods that they lost in the fighting, with that fund.
Kidnapping and Related Extortion from Villagers
1. Violations by Maj. Myo Lwin, LIB No. 106
During July to October, 1998, when a column of SPDC troops from LIB No. 106, which headquarters is situating in Tamorkanm village, northern Ye town, took base in Khawza village, its commander, Maj. Myo Lwin extorted various kind of ransom from villagers. The following are the villagers' records of he and his troops' activities how they conducted kidnapping, torturing and extorting cash from them during they were in Khawza village.
In July, 1998, Maj. Myo Lwin called a meeting with all lumber mill owners in village tract and forced them to make wood planks to use it in building a bridge. The private lumber mill owners had to make 15 tons wood planks for him. He used only little amount of planks in building bridge, but sold off to get cash for his own. He also asked all mill owners to pay him a ransom of 20,000 Kyat each as a tax of their mill. If someone failed to pay, he would close down the mill and took all planks in the mill. Thus, all mill owners in the village tract came and paid ransom of 20,000 Kyat for each. Similarly, he also took 5, 000 Kyat from each video theater as a tax and also forced video owners in the area to show their video in their military camp for two nights in one round on a rotation basis.
On October 22, 1998, when a farmer from Khawza village, Nai Shein (35 years) came back from his rice-farm, with two oxen and three cows, he was arrested by the troops of LIB No. 106. He was accused by commander that he bought these cattle unofficially and threatened to take all cattle. The commander forced him to show the agreement letter of purchasing the cattle. Although he explained that the oxen and cows were his own, they did not trust him and continuously accused that he has stole the cattle. Because of his complaint, the soldiers beat him seriously.
At night time about 11:00 p.m., the soldiers brought him to his home and told his wife that she must give a ransom of 100, 000 Kyat to get him return home. If not, they said they will bring him to frontline to use him as civilian porter. They added that was the punishment for his guilty of illegal purchasing of cattle. Thus, his wife worried for her husband being used as a porter in frontline and the further troubles and ill-treatments, she urgently found 80, 000 Kyat cash and paid to commander as a ransom. Then the soldiers released the farmer. But the commander did not give him the cattle back and he additionally asked the farmer to pay another ransom of 150, 000 Kyat to get his cattle back. Then the farmer and his wife found another 100, 000 Kyat and paid them as another ransom to get their cattle back.
Violations by Maj. Maung Maung Lay, LIB No. 273
Although military headquarters of LIB No. 273 is situating in Yebyu township, because of activities and attacks operated by a Mon armed group, this battalion's military columns were given responsibility to suppress the activities of that group. On the other hand, the main responsibility of this battalion is to safeguard the TOTAL company's gas-pipeline site in Kanbauk area and so it had main duty to prevent attack from the rebel group.
While some military column have been active on the seacoast to collect various kind of tax from fishing boats, some troops were sent to launch military patrol to prevent the possible approach that could make by rebel groups. Military columns have always changed each other in every three months on a rotation basis by battalion commander or tactical commander.
During from December, 1998, to February, 1999 a military column from LIB No. 273, led by Maung Maung Lay arrived to villages in Ye southern part area After IB No. 106 moved out from Khawza village, LIB No. 273 came in and took base in the village again Therefore, the villagers have been constantly suffered from another maltreatment and related tax extortion by military column and its commander again.
On December 24, 1998, the troops entered into Khawza village in the evening and ordered the villager headmen to announce to villagers that the soldiers will not allow any villagers to stay outside of village or in the farms. Thus, the village headmen went round the village and announced the order issued by commander and told to villagers to call their family members in the farms to come back to village soon. Many villager; went to farms and brought their family members back to homes. And the commander also added that the soldiers will not allow any villager to move out of their homes at night time.
At night time, about 10 o'clock, while the troops launched military operation around the rice-farms outside of village, where were far about 2 kilometers surrounding the village, they also met three farmers staying in a farm-hut and arrested them. These farmers were accused as rebel-supporters of Mon armed group and tied up with ropes and were brought into Khawza village. These farmers were not Khawza villagers and they came from Yinye village to work farming in that area. In the afternoon when the commander ordered village headmen to make an announcement to halt villagers to not stay in farms, they were not informed by villagers because they have no families in Khawza village. These arrested farmers were, Nai Tun (55 years), Nai Wai (33 years) and Nai Ngaing (24 years).
After they arrived in Khawza village, the village headmen were asked whether the men were their villagers. When the headmen said no, the accusation against the farmers as rebel-supporters was more deeper and they were inhumanely beaten, kicked and tortured by soldiers. The soldiers investigated and asked questions about activities of Mon armed force and when the villagers could not tell, they were severely tortured. Wherever they refused they had no contact with rebels or they did not know them, they were severely beaten to admit.
Some Khawza villagers knew these three villagers and informed their families in Yinye village about their arrest by Burmese soldiers. So, their wives and a senior monk came and appealed the commander to release the three men because they were ordinary villagers. The commander said he would not release the men until their wives could give him about 100, 000 Kyat for each person as ransom. Thus, all their wives went back to home to find ransom for commander to release the men. After three of their wives collected about 200, 000 Kyat cash and paid to commander to release the men, the commander refused and replied he needed a full amount of payment as he instructed. Then, the women went back to their village again and sold nearly all of their belongings to get full amount of cash that asked by commander. After they paid 300, 000 Kyat to commander he released three men immediately.
On December 25, 1998, when the Burmese troops waited for entering of rebel troops at the entrance of Khawza village, they also arrested a young man who was riding bi-cycles to go another village. The arrested man was Nai Hale (22 years) and he was accused that he would go to rebel base and informed the Burmese troops' activities to rebels. Then he was detained for one day and after his family gave 3,000 Kyat cash for foods of soldiers and additional appeal by village headmen, he was released.
Similarly, in the second week of January, 1999, the soldiers also arrested Nai Soe Aung, with accusation of rebel-supporters. On that day, the soldiers from the base also walked around in the village and met a young man who wore trousers also stood in front of Nai Soe Aung's house and talked with another villager. The soldiers also saw the young man entered into Nai Soe Aung house. The soldiers went back to base and informed about a young man to their commander. Then, the commander ordered their troops to round Nai Soe Aung's house and searched for the young man. When the soldiers rounded Nai Soe Aung's house, the young man who was his nephew, already left from his house. When they searched his whole house, they could not catch the man. So they accused Nai Soe Aung that he was keeping a rebel in his house. He did not understand the accusation and denied it that he said he never kept any rebel. The soldiers angered to him and beat him severely and said they met a young man with trouser entered his house. Although he explained to soldiers that that man was his nephew, but they did not trust and continuously beat him.
Then, the soldiers brought him to outside of the village and beat him to admit he was keeping a rebel. He was tortured with various type of beating and kicking by soldiers. When his family came and asked to meet him, they did not allow even his wife to meet each other. Later two days, when his wife paid 20,000 Kyat ransom and showed the young man (actually that man was his nephew), who was attending high school in Ye town, they trusted and then released him.
3. Torturing and Related Extortion by IB No. 61
Following the consistent accusation that he traveled to provide fund for Mon troops, he was tied up with a rope and brought to battalion headquarters in Ye. In the detention center of battalion headquarters, he was severely tortured. The soldiers beat and kicked him to admit that he sent fund for Mon troops. They tortured him until he lost consciousness.
Soon after his wife heard about arrest of him and bringing to Ye, she and village headmen went to Ye. When they met with battalion commander, they also explained the man was not a person according to accusation as rebel-supporter and approved he was an honest villager. At the end, the commander told them to pay a ransom of 60,000 Kyat for his release. His wife went back to village and tried to get 60,000 Kyat. After his family could not effort to pay 60,000 Kyat and paid 30,000 Kyat to commander. Then the commander released him after receiving a ransom. However, the commander said he must not allow to receive medical treatment in Ye. If they took medical treatment in Ye, he worried the news about IB No. 61 extortion and torturing will separate. Therefore, village headmen and family brought the farmer back to home in village and had to treat his injuries with herbal medicines.
4. New Kind of Tax Collection after Fighting by Various SPDC troops
On October 19, 1998, a fighting between SPDC navy and Mon troops happened in the sea in the •west side of Magyi village. In the incident, a small boat that brought Mon troops was attacked by LIB No. 402 and some Mon soldiers died in the fighting. In this case, the local fishermen were accused that they were supporters of Mon troops and carefully checked to fishing boats and fishermen who went to the sea.
Following the fighting, there was more SPDC troops deployment in coastal area and checked every fisherman who went to the sea. First, LIB No. 402 and LIB No. 106 jointly ordered to every fishing boat to buy a special signboard to put beside the boat to recognize them well. They also wrote the name of the
boat in signboard and put along with boat. If one boat has no signboard or the signboard was different from the one they issued, the navy must shoot to that boat. The battalions sold off signboard with price 2,000 Kyat per one. Although a small wood sheet was too expensive, the poor fishermen have to buy it because they were afraid of being shot by navy troops. There were over 500 small and big boats had to buy signboards from battalions and so LIB No. 106 and No. 402 received a lot of fund from fishermen. The fishing boats in many villages, such as Magyi, Mitawhla-kalay, Mitawhla-gyi, Kyonekanya, Taw-bound, Kyauk-ie, Kabyawa, Khawza fishing, had to buy the signboards.
Later, although they received signboard that recognized their fishing boats, whenever fishermen went to sea they must ask permission from the concerned headmen. Village headmen have to write an approval letter that fishermen were their villagers and honest. When the fishermen asked this letter, they paid 20, 30, 50 Kyat per sheet respectively to village headmen depending on the size of the boat. Accordingly to village headmen, that collected fund would be used when SPDC troops came into their villages, to provide them foods, liquors, and other demanded supplies.
On the other hand, every fishing boat had to handle "the boat registered book" along with them and every time they went to the sea, after they received approval letters from village headmen, they had to go to the battalions that bases along the seacoast. The commanders recorded in the book what time and which day they left to the sea. Every big or small boat, they got only three days permission to go to the sea for fishing. Depending on the sizes of the boats, the fishermen had to pay 200 to 500 Kyat per trip. After three days period fishing when they returned to the shore, they would have to inform the battalion again they already arrived back. In addition, the troops asked the biggest fish from every boat for their foods. Normally, the biggest fish might cost about 1,000 Kyat. Sometimes, when the higher military officers came, they asked more fishes from the boats.
Because of the new tax collection instructed, the battalions that took security along seacoast and in the sea, such as LIB No. 402, No. 106 and No. 273 received a lot of payment from the poor fishermen. Some fishermen also stopped and changed their works due to regular and high tax collected by SPDC troops.
Due to arbitrary arrest and killing in the rural area, the farmers or the villagers are very afraid of being working in their work-places which are far from outside of the villages. Similarly, whenever the fighting in the surrounding area, the villagers in the villages do not dare to go outside of their villages and or, if some are in the rice-farms and fruit plantations, they immediately run back to the villages. If not, they could be as a result arrested by soldiers and faced ill-treatments by SPDC soldiers. As villagers' experience, the arrested villagers have been always forced to show the rebel bases, to admit they are having contacts with rebels and at the end, they must be tortured until die.
If the villagers are kidnapped related to accusation of rebel-supporters, they must be cruelly beaten by soldiers anyhow. Then the commander will ask for a ransom to release those villagers. When one villager was kidnapped and to get him release, the family have to sell several things that they belonged, such as rice-farmlands, fruit plantations, live-stocks, houses and others. Immediately that family become poor and jobless. If their relatives helped those families until they can stand on their feet, it was better for them to remain in villages. If not, they may have to move from their villages and seek jobs in another village, or move into Thailand or move into NMSP control area for seeking haven and finding jobs.
Due to unstable situation and irregular working in the workplaces, the villagers have also lost their crops in farms or plantations. During rainy season, when they started rice cultivation in July and August, if they could not have chance to clear grasses in the rice-fields, the rice plants became too weak due to grasses getting higher than them and the crop production are also reduced. During harvest season in November and December, if the
farmers lost chance to reap their rice crops in the farms, that is also another reason for the reduction of crop production.
Due to regular tax payment including portering fees and other extortion to SPDC troops, the villagers are hardly to pay. They have to sell their crops or other belongings to pay tax for army. Additionally, because of permanent requirement of civilian porters for army, the villagers have to abandon their works and also lose income or crops. Therefore, the general economic situation in the rural area of Ye and Yebyu township has been deteriorated for many years and local inhabitants are always suffered from various type of atrocities violated by government troops.

January 13, 2012
For today's "Funday School" lesson, we were studying Esther, along with the First Beatitude. As our activity, I used butcher paper to make a giant crown, and had each child draw a "jewel" on the crown, in which they were to write something they didn't understand in life. I explained that God is making a beautiful crown out of each of our lives, and the hard things–the things we don't understand–are all going to be shining jewels on that crown, someday.
When I had the kids share their jewels, if they wanted to, a little one raised his hand patiently for some time, as the others shared. Finally, I saw and called on him. "You want to share something?" I asked. He nodded. "I don't understand why the Canada transport companies have people working there who are always so mean," he deliberately, and emphatically, contributed. It took me a bit to recover from my confusion but I did, and I agreed with him that I too do not understand this :-) Turns out he is new in the country, two weeks in from Canada. It was a happy moment for me, one in which I was reminded to enjoy the little amusements in a life that is often a trying, and draining one.
And the photo is another: a shot of one of the super teachers here as she labors to create as cheery of a space as possible for the little ones who will start a new week with her tomorrow. We do what we can here. And what we can do is–has to be–enough.

Faith Connections' Theology on Tap
Topic: Poustinia: Encountering God in Silence, Solitude and Prayer
Special guest: Philo Lim, staff worker, Madonna House Apostolate.
"Poustinia" is a Russian word which means desert. It is an Eastern spirituality introduced to the West by Catherine Doherty in the early 1960s. Poustinia is basically a place/room/cabin set aside for one to go and encounter God in silence and solitude with prayer and fasting, our food being the scriptures, the Word of God. In other words, poustinia is a desert experience... and through that experience, we find the door to our own heart where the Holy Trinity dwells.
Born and raised in Singapore, Philo Lim's life changed after reading Catherine Doherty's book, Poustinia. It led her to become a member of the Madonna House lay community founded by Catherine in Ontario, and she has since served in their missions in Ghana, West Africa, Arizona and Toronto.
Join us for an evening of thought-provoking conversation on theological topics! Munchies provided, cash bar available - come and bring a friend!

One year ago today, freelance journalists Amanda Lindhout of Canada, Nigel Brennan of Australia, Abdifatah Mohammed Elmi of Somalia and their two drivers were abducted as they were returning from the Afgoye refugee camp, about 20 kilometres west of the Somali capital, Mogadishu.
Elmi and the drivers were released from captivity on Jan. 15; they had been separated from Lindhout and Brennan immediately after capture.
Over the past year, little has been heard from the captors, their hostages, the families (who don't wish to jeopardize official efforts to free the pair) or government sources. The information that has surfaced is sobering, speculative and unconfirmed.
A poor-quality silent video appeared on the Al-Jazeera TV network within weeks of the abduction. Both CTV News and Omni Television have received frantic phone calls from a woman claiming to be Lindhout, but her identity couldn't be confirmed. Rumours abound that Lindhout has attempted escape twice, only to be recaptured. Reports of ransom demands have been contradictory. A Somali news website has suggested Lindhout is already a victim of Stockholm syndrome, living happily with one of her captors and a child she bore. Some of Lindhout's supporters and a few news organizations have been critical of what appears to them to be the lack of a robust response from Ottawa, where terse statements are given that efforts to secure the release of the 28-year-old Sylvan Lake, Alta., woman are continuing through "appropriate channels." For more details, see this story in the Red Deer Advocate.
Lindhout's fate and Ottawa's capacity to deal with her predicament should be of special concern to Canadian journalists. As a freelancer in a foreign country, she simply does not have the institutional support of a major Canadian news organization, as did Mellissa Fung, the CBC reporter captured in Afghanistan. In Fung's case, it became clear that the CBC was in regular contact with Canadian government officials, senior executives at other Canadian news organizations, and even Afghan intermediaries.
Depending on the business models that emerge for journalism over the coming decade, the number of freelance journalists who work in Canada and abroad as independent contractors to media outlets, both large and small, is likely to increase, not decrease. Multimedia journalists such as Lindhout, who are either self-assigning or commissioned by staff-lean news outlets to prepare specific reports, could rapidly become the norm, not the exception. Therefore, the capacity of the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade to deal with the illness, incapacity, arrest, detention or abduction of Canadians abroad, including failed states such as Somalia, is likely to become an ever-greater issue — as will be the capacity of organizations such as Reporters Without Borders, which has issued a statement on the grim Lindhout anniversary, to support them.
Update 1 (Aug. 24): The Canadian Association of Journalists today issued a press release calling on Prime Minister Stephen Harper to help free Lindhout.
Update 2 (Nov. 28): Lindhout and Brennan were released by their Somali captors on Nov. 25. The two journalists travelled to Nairobi the following day for medical treatment. Reports indicate a ransom payment of $600,000 (U.S.) was paid by the families.

Identifying the gap
When you look at a candlestick chart, a "gap" is the difference between the closing price of one candle and the opening price of the next candle. On a chart, it would look like an empty area in between the candles.
Take a look at the following chart:
- The candle opens much lower than the previous day's close.
- The green shaded area shows the gap in between the candles.
As shown above, the gap is that unfilled space between the end of one trading period and the opening of another one.
More often than not, when a gap occurs on a price chart, the price tends to "fill" the gap. In other words, the price – in the context of the chart above – will rise at least the length of the green shaded area.
Take a look at the following chart:
Knowing that when a gap occurs, the price will likely fill it, we can take advantage of this opportunity using two methods:
- Placing a trade to fill the gap.
- Placing a trade after the gap has been filled.
Go on to learn the first method of trading the gap.
