message me: what did you take away from this episode? Ep 96 (http://ibit.ly/Re5V) Qorinah ES Adnani on navigating a midwifery journey from rural Indonesia to being an emerging global midwifery leader@PhDMidwives #research #midwifery  #education #Indonesia #unpad @universitaspadjadjaran #healthinequities #publichealthresearch link - t.ly/IkiuJ What drives someone to leave everything familiar behind to pursue education in a language they've never spoken? For Qorinah Estiningtyas Sakliah Adnani, it was a deeply personal mission born from tragedy.When Qorinah lost her mother at just 13 months old, the experience silently shaped her childhood in rural East Java, Indonesia. Decades later, this loss would fuel her extraordinary journey to strengthen midwifery education across Indonesia's 17,000 islands and beyond.In this powerful conversation, Qorinah reveals the remarkable path that took her from a small village to becoming the first in her family to pursue doctoral education. With stunning candor, she describes learning English from scratch, improving her IELTS score from 4 to 6.5, and relocating to New Zealand for PhD studies – all while colleagues back home mocked her ambitions as impossible.The conversation explores Indonesia's established midwifery continuity of care model, where one midwife serves an entire village, creating intergenerational relationships rarely documented in research literature. Qorinah's groundbreaking work bringing these practices to international attention has earned her recognition among the world's top 2% of scientists.Perhaps most inspiring is her discussion of resilience through setbacks – from language barriers and homesickness during her PhD to returning home only to face career obstacles that ultimately led to new opportunities at one of Indonesia's premier universities and as the first Asian midwife visiting scholar at Yale.This episode isn't just about midwifery or academic achievement. It's about how determination, supportive communities, and what Qorinah calls "greed and commitment" can transform personal loss into global impact. Whether you're facing seemingly insurmountable barriers or seeking inspiration to pursue your own impossible dreams, this conversation reminds us that with persistence, even the most challenging journeys can lead to extraordinary destinations.

A brutal witch hunt, with ninjas massacring alleged sorcerers

Late last month, for the first time its history, Indonesia held simultaneous regional elections across 545 provinces, regencies and municipalities across the country. Across 6000 ballot stations, and 1553 contesting candidates, there were upsets in key regions, like Central Java where the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) lost its provincial stronghold, and Jakarta, where PDIP's underdog candidate, Pramono Anung, took the governorship from the governing coalition's favourite, Ridwan Kamil. But elsewhere, candidates backed by Prabowo and his ruling KIM coalition handily won the election. This include Dedi Mulyani for governor of West Java, Khofifah Indar Parawansa in East Java, Bobby Nasution in North Sumatra and former “rose team” Kopassus officer, Yulius Selvanas in North Sulawesi. In South Kalimantan, the candidate backed by mining magnate and political powerbroker Haji Isem, also took office. Our avid listeners will remember my colleague Dr Ian Wilson, Senior lecturer in Politics, Terrorism and Counterterrorism at Murdoch University. Ian came on Talking Indonesia in December last year to discuss how the Jokowi government was reshaping the field of political contestation for the 2024 regional elections. Today we have him back to assess what the regional elections round up tells us about how power is being reorganised in Indonesia today.

Vannessa Hearman - East Timor's Great Famine, 1977-1979 Following Indonesia's annexation of East Timor in December 1975, the forced displacement and mass starvation of its people resulted in what is known as the Great East Timor Famine, 1977-1979. As Indonesian forces moved into the province thousands of people were forced to flee their villages and farms into the mountains and bush, where food sources were scarce. It is estimated that over fifty percent of East Timor's population of 600,000 was displaced. A report complied by the East Timor Truth, Reception and Reconciliation Commission (CAVR) concluded that at least 84,000 people, but possibly up to 180,000, died in the famine. As such this tragedy touched one in two East Timorese. Indonesia's restrictions on the media and its own propaganda, meant that there was little open reporting on the tragedy as it unfolded. More than two decades since East Timorese voted for independence from Indonesia the truth and associated trauma of this conflict-induced famine remains little known. What was the context in which this famine took place? How did it unfold and what was the scale of the suffering of the East Timorese? What media reporting, if any, was there at the time, and what was the international community's response? And how is the famine remembered in East Timor today and what is being done to bring justice for its victims? In this week's episode Jemma chats with Dr Vannessa Hearman, a senior lecturer in history at Curtin University in Western Australia. Her award-winning monograph, Unmarked Graves: Death and Survival in the Anti-Communist Violence in East Java, Indonesia, is a study of the 1965-66 mass violence in Indonesia. Her research deals with the history and politics of Indonesia and Timor-Leste and Australia's engagements with both countries. She is researching the history of East Timorese migration to Australia and how Australian cultural institutions reflect this history in their collections. Her recent publications on East Timor's famine include, ‘Australian News Photography and Contested Images of Indonesian-Occupied East Timor', Australian Historical Studies, (2003) 54:3; and ‘Challenges in the pursuit of justice for East Timor's Great Famine (1977-1979), Third World Quarterly (2024), 45:2.

In 2024, the Talking Indonesia podcast is co-hosted by Dr Jemma Purdey from the Australia-Indonesia Centre, Dr Jacqui Baker from Murdoch University, Dr Elisabeth Kramer from the University of New South Wales and Tito Ambyo from RMIT.

Indonesia's regional elections have showcased significant wins for candidates aligned with President Prabowo Subianto's coalition, except in the critical capital, Jakarta. While official results will be confirmed between November 30 and December 15, independent pollsters already indicate a broad sweep for Prabowo-backed candidates in key provinces like Central Java, West Java, and East Java.

ADHD BABESSSS! We're back for Season 2! In today's episode Tara is joining us from East Java

It's Wednesday, September 18th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Indonesian officials release Christian apologist from jail Praise God! Indonesian officials released a Christian apologist from prison earlier this year. International Christian Concern confirmed the release last week.  Authorities arrested Gratia Pello back in 2022 for allegedly insulting Islam. Pello taught at a Christian school in East Java and published many videos defending Christianity.  A local Christian leader previously told Morning Star News, “The police always put the arrest of Christians on their priority list, but they are silent when it comes to the many . . . [Muslim teachers] who insult Christian holy books even if the case has been reported.”  Psalm 146:5 and 7 says, “Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God, … Who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. The LORD gives freedom to the prisoners.” Country of Georgia reaffirms ban on homosexual faux marriage Lawmakers in the Eastern European country of Georgia approved legislation to protect family values yesterday. The law would allow authorities to limit the promotion of sexually perverted lifestyles in public like homosexual Pride events and their rainbow flag. The measure also reaffirms Georgia's ban on faux homosexual marriage and transgender surgeries.  Leaders with the governing Georgian Dream Party say they want to protect “traditional moral standards.” Ford, Harley-Davidson and Lowe's end perverted alliance In the U.S., big companies are dropping support for diversity initiatives.  The Human Rights Campaign, a radical pro-homosexual group, releases the Corporate Equality Index every year to determine how supportive companies are of sexually perverted lifestyles. But companies have faced pressure from customers and conservative groups for participating in the perverted index. Ford, Harley-Davidson, and Lowe's are among the latest companies to drop out of the index. Dan Lennington with the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty has supported challenges to diversity initiatives. He said, “We have no problem with nondiscrimination, but we're worried about these policies going too far and harming innocent third parties who have either religious objections or they're being excluded because they're not LGBTQ or a certain race.”  Donations by Evangelicals are down Infinity Concepts and Grey Matter Research released a new report on Evangelical giving. The study found 61% of Evangelical adults donated to a local church last year. That's down from 74% in 2021. Over the same time period, giving to a nonprofit or a ministry outside of a church fell from 58% to 50%. And the proportion of Evangelicals who did not donate at all rose from 19% to 31%. Between church and charity, the average Evangelical donor gives just 3.3% of their household income, down from 4% in 2021. In Malachi 3:10, God said, “'Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and try Me now in this,' says the LORD of hosts, ‘If I will not open for you the windows of Heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it.'” 24% of Protestant pastors support Kamala Harris Lifeway Research released a new study on the upcoming presidential election. The report found 97% of U.S. Protestant pastors plan to vote in the election. But nearly a quarter of them did not share who they plan to vote for, up from 4% in 2020. Of the pastors who plan to vote and were willing to share their preference, 50% support former President Donald Trump. Twenty-four percent support Vice President Kamala Harris, and 23% are undecided.  Pastors voting for Trump are among the most likely to say an important issue in their voting decision is the ability to protect religious freedom, the position on abortion, and the size and role of government.  Oregon city compensates church $400,000 over homeless ministry And finally, an Oregon city agreed to pay a $400,000 settlement to a church over its homeless ministry. The City of Brookings had passed an ordinance in 2021 that restricted the homeless ministry of St. Timothy's Episcopal Church. In 2022, the church filed a lawsuit saying the ordinance violated their religious liberty. As part of the recent settlement, the city agreed to repeal the ordinance. Father Bernie Lindley of St. Timothy's said, “We had to stand up for our religious freedoms. … We're really glad that the whole thing's over with and we can get back to … getting to the needs of the marginalized in our community without the distraction of this lawsuit.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, September 18th, in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 89-points this morning from Friday's close, at 17,770 on turnover of 9.2-billion N-T. The market gained significant ground on Friday, rising by more than 450-points, driven primarily by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, which led the main board higher, as the electronics sector rose by 3.9-per cent during the trading day. Taipower Denies Reports of Rate Hikes Tai-Power is denying reports that plans to hike electricity rates this year. The denial comes amid speculation the state-generator could raise rates after its posted over 380-billion N-T in accumulated losses at of the end of last year. The Ministry of Economic Affairs' electricity price review committee is scheduled to meet in March to decide on rates for the next six months and reports have been claiming it could seek to raise rates for third consecutive year during that meeting. However, Tai-Power is dismissing (駁回) those claims and says it's currently "conducting an internal financial review" and seeking "financial support from the government." Nvidia's Jensen Huang Back in Taiwan Nvidia co-founder and C-E-O Jensen Huang is back in Taiwan. Huang was spotted at Ningxia Night Market in Taipei wearing one of his now trademark (（某人的）標記，特徵) leather jackets this past weekend. Speaking to reporters, Huang said he's in town to celebrate the Lunar New Year with employees at Nvidia's Taiwan Branch. He's also reportedly slated to meet with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing executives to discuss further cooperation between the two companies and attend a conference on advanced packaging supply chains.

AP correspondent Jackie Quinn reports. Germany Rallies Against AfD Party Hundreds of thousands of people have been protesting in Germany this weekend, against the right-wing Alternative for Germany party. The demonstrations came in the wake of a report that right-wing extremists recently met to discuss the deportation (驅逐出境) of millions of immigrants, including some with German citizenship. Although Germany has seen other protests against the far right in past years, the protests this weekend are notable for their size and scope. The demonstrations have garnered support from President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Vice-Chancellor Robert Habeck, and the Central Council of Jews. German companies also spoke out against extremism, emphasizing the country's commitment to democracy and tolerance.

Last time we spoke about operation Se-Go and the continued drive on Finschhafen. The evacuation of Kolombangara, designated operation Se-Go showcased how the Japanese were becoming experts at large scale evacuations. Nearly 10,000 men were safely evacuated from Kolombangara at the cost of some barges. Then in New Guinea, the Allies became aware the taking of Finschhafen was not going to be a cake walk. In fact Wootten sent word to the other commanders that he believed he was facing the full 20th division at Finschhafen. The other commanders were sending their men through the Ramu and Markham valleys finding rearguards everywhere they looked. Rivers and ridges were being taken at a quick pace and Finschhafen was technically seized, but certainly not secured. Now the allies would have to attack the stronghold of Sattelberg. And Today we are going to see some action upon land and sea. This episode is the naval battle of Vella Lavella Welcome to the Pacific War Podcast Week by Week, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson. But, before we start I want to also remind you this podcast is only made possible through the efforts of Kings and Generals over at Youtube. Perhaps you want to learn more about world war two? Kings and Generals have an assortment of episodes on world war two and much more  so go give them a look over on Youtube.

If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel you can find a few videos all the way from the Opium Wars of the 1800's until the end of the Pacific War in 1945.  The Japanese had accomplished another astounding evacuation, managing to pull out nearly 10,000 men from the marooned and isolated Kolombangara. They managed this with limited craft and boldly under the nose of the enemy who enjoyed superiority over land, air and sea. Yet as you can imagine this certainly showcases how the tide of the war in the south pacific had decisively turned. Japanese naval operations were becoming increasingly concerned with evacuating troops as their positions grew hopeless. The campaign for the central solomons was falling apart for Japan, the invasion of Bougainville was imminent. However because of the evacuation of Kolombangara, one of its results would be the establishment of a staging base for barges and landing craft over at Horaniu, the northeast shore of Vella Lavella.  Now in  last episode we spoke about the actions of the Tsuruya unit who were busy delaying Brigadier Potter's New Zealander forces. The Japanese had their backs against the wall at Marquana Bay, holding by just a threat. They had little food or ammunition left with no possibility of re-supply or reinforcements. Despite insufficient resources, Admiral Samejima was determined to rescue the doomed Tsuruya unit. Samejima managed to convince Admiral Kusaka to carry out yet another evacuation, this time of Vella Lavella, slated for the night of October 6th. Before dawn on the 6th, Admiral Ijuin departed Rabaul with 9 destroyers divided into three groups. The first group led by Admiral Ijuin consisted of the Akigumo, Isokaze, Kazagumo and Yugumo. The 2nd group led by Captain Kanaoka Kunizo was aboard Fumizuki accompanied by Yunagi and Matsukaze and a transport unit of 6 barges, 30 folding boats and the transport Usaka Maru. The third group was led by Captain Hara Tameichi aboard the Shigure with Samidare as backup. A fourth group led by Commander Nakayama Shigoroku consisting of 5 subchasers, 3 vedettes and a barge would also depart Buin to help. Ijuin was to be the strike unit, Kanaoka the transport unit and Hara the Guard unit. Ijuin planned to have Kanaoka and Hara standing off Marquana Bay supported by the incoming 4th unit led by Shigoroku. Further support would be given in the form of 8 floatplanes that would try to bomb Potter's men with 20 zeros providing air cover.  During the morning of the 6th, Admiral Wilkinson received reports the Japanese might be attempting an evacuation of Choiseul. At that time his 10th echelon was underway transporting the IMAC advance base to Vella Lavella, leaving the only available force Captain Frank Walker with destroyers Selfridge, Chevalier and O'Bannon. Walker was just returning from a run up the slot passing by the Russells on his way home. Wilkinson sent word to Walker to pay specific attention to the coast of Choiseul as he passed around. During that afternoon, Admiral Halsey sent an alert to Wilkinson that the Tokyo Express was definitely about to make a run, but it was not to Choisuel, instead it was to Marquana bay. Wilkinson dispatched 3 destroyers from the 10th echelon, Ralph Talbot, Taylor and LaVallete with Commander Harold Larson to reinforce Walker around Sauka point to try and intercept the Japanese. Shortly after sending the orders, Walk received further intelligence. At 7:30pm he learnt that an unknown number of destroyers, 3 torpedo boats and 6 subchasers were enroute, expected to be in the area by 10:30 with an embarkation time of 11:30. At 9:02 he was told that possibly 9 destroyers were coming. A few minutes later another report passed on by some B-25's attacking buin stated they spotted 4 IJN destroyers or possibly Jintsu-class cruisers. Thus pretty uncertain of what was actually out there, Walker's crews were warned to expect the worse and they would sound General Quarters by 7pm. 40 minutes later the 938th seaplanes began harassing them. At 9:50 Walker announced over the TBS “When we round the corner close the gap and be ready for anything. I want to get the fish off without guns if possible.” Wilkinson's reinforcements only made it to the rendezvous point by 11:40, leading Walker to have to start the battle alone. Since the days of John Paul Jones, American naval lore had honored and applauded commanders who unleashed bold attacks on superior enemy forces, but in this case Walker would prove to be too rash.  Walker took his force around the north coast of Vella Lavella that night and began scouting the area finding no sign of the enemy. Meanwhile Ijuins strike force followed by Hara and Kanaoka proceeded to their staging point arrived at 10pm. Minutes later a scout plan reported 4 cruisers and 3 destroyers northeast of Vella Lavella on a western course. The plane most certainly saw the Selfridge, Chevalier and O'Bannon coming up the slot but mistook them as cruisers. Ijuin ordered Konaoka to take his group west towards the Shortlands while he and Hara turned back to meet the enemy. However Hara's force were a bit further west and having difficulty due to mist causing lack of visibility. at 10:30 the Americans made their first radar contact of the enemy and 5 minutes later lookouts aboard the Kazagumo sighted the Americans to their south. Consequently, Ijuin had just turned to port heading southwest to cross Walker's bows, but he misjudged the distance and instead opened the range. Walker responded by increasing his forces speed to 30 knots to try and head off the enemy. Upon seeing this, Ijuin changed his course at 10:45 to south-southeast to close the range, then at 10:48 ordered a 45 degree turn south. These maneuvers actually worked to the Americans advantage, and upon seeing he was presenting an easier target, Ijuin ordered another simultaneous turn to port which staggered his ships in line abreast on a course opposite and nearly parallel to Walker with their range rapidly closing. The maneuvering blunder allowed the Americans to pull up to the nearest group of 4 IJN destroyers and launch a half salvo of torpedoes. Most of the torpedoes were fired at the Yagumo which was being mistaken as a possible cruiser. Commander Osako Higashi aboard the Yagumo ordered 8 torpedoes to be launched before the guns began to fire. The Americans opened fire with their guns after the torpedoes turning Yagumo into a burning wreck quickly. Ijuin tried to course correct again going south then west.  But by this point, Hara had just made it to the battle at 11:01 the Americans saw his forces to their southwest and closed in to engage. This put Hara ahead and parallel to Walker giving the Americans the perfect position to launch another salvo of torpedoes. At the same time one of Yagumo's torpedoes hit Chevalier detonating her No 2 Gun Magazine, blowing the ship in two. Her brigade and aft section swung across O'Bannon's path forcing O'Bannon to ram into her starboard engine room. The force of the collision was mitigated by Commander Donald MacDonald who ordered an emergency full speed astern when he saw the explosion on Chevalier. Two minutes later a torpedo, most likely fired from Chevalier, hit Yagumo. At 11:06, one of Hara's destroyers landed a torpedo hit on the Selfridge, shearing off her bow and wrecking everything from the bridge forward. In just 5 minutes, 104 American sailors were dead and 66 were wounded. Both sides continued the brawl, at 11:17 Ijuin still taking a westward course, ordered torpedoes to be fired at what he thought were cruisers, probably the O'Bannon and Chevalier. He received a claim that one was sunk, so he decided to break off the battle and head for home. Meanwhile Geoerge Peckham aboard the Selfridge believed he had been hit by torpedo boats and wildly ordered men to track where they might be. It was an age old naval case of both sides fighting ghosts ships basically. Meanwhile Commander Nakayama's group began to approach Marquana bay from the north and Wilkinsons reinforcements group led by Larson were arriving from the south as well. At 10:55 Larson had received ordered from Walker to execute “William” which was the codename for torpedoes and “dog” was naval gunfire. Larsons group passed Yagumo who was undergoing her death throes and by 11:40 the group was in the battle area. Larson could not make out a contact on enemy ships and by midnight simply headed for Marquana bay, seeing nothing but crippled ships. Chevalier was beyond saving so she was scuttled, Selfridge was able to be repaired by 3:15am and would make a slow but safe journey home. Walker notified COMAIRSOLS they needed air cover as Nakayama's group passed east of the battle area but did not engage. Japanese barges began to load men as the 938ht floatplane harassed the New Zealanders artillery. Many New Zealanders reported hearing naval gunfire and what sounded like barges scraping against reefs. By 3:10am, Nakayama left for Buin with all 589 men of the Tsuruya unit. The Americans captured 74 survivors of the Yagumo who were marooned at Biloa, while 27 others would make their way to Buin using motorized whaleboats. Ijuin had lost 179 men dead with 74 captured. On October 8th, Potter's men determined the Japanese were indeed gone so they began occupying Marquana bay. Thus ended the battle of Vella Lavella.  The 1st battalion, 27th regiment landed at Ringi Cover on southern Kolombangara on October 6th finding 49 abandoned artillery pieces and some scattered Japanese who had been left behind. By October 15th Admiral Hasley declared operation Toenails terminated. Two days prior the Japanese had likewise terminated operation Se-go. Admiral Samejima would be forced to carry the blame for the loss of the central solomons. He went on the record to say this “The relations between the Army and Navy units in this area were extremely harmonious and satisfactory, and the foregoing is due to the character and judgment of Maj-Gen. Sasaki and Rear Admiral Ōta. However, because of my inexperience in commanding land operations, there were times when I failed to dispatch appropriate orders to Maj-Gen. Sasaki in conducting our operations. And the fact that there is evidence that I left the operations up to the arbitrary decisions of Maj-Gen. Sasaki to some degree clearly reveals the folly of placing a Naval Commander like me in charge of land operations involving Army and Navy units.” In the end his forces managed to hold back the enemy for nearly two months and he had pulled off a pretty incredible evacuation. Operation Toenails was a success for the allies managing to secure 4 new airbases at Munda, Segi, Ondonga and Barakoma. These acquisitions would have a huge impact on future campaigns against Bougainville and Rabaul. Admiral Halsey would receive some criticism for underestimating both the terrain and enemy during operation Toenails. Major General Harmon went on the record to say “Munda is a tough nut –much tougher in terrain, organization of the ground and determination of the Jap than we had thought,.  The Japanese agreed; an intelligence report dated 11 August stated that the “reasons for the slow advance of the enemy in Munda, etc, are due to the courage of our forces and the difficult fighting in the jungle.” The allies learned some important lessons such as the necessity of adequate medial support; the implementation of effective evacuation procedures; close air support for ground troops; the effectiveness of naval gunfire support or lack thereof it; and the 3 most effective weapons against the Japanese; the 155mm gun, tanks and dive bombers. These 3 weapons would be put into effect on Bougainville. The central solomons campaign saw 995 US Army, 192 marine and 500 US navy death with 4407 wounded. The New Zealanders and Fijians received 200 casualties. For the Japanese it was estimated 4000 died with 4500 wounded. Now we need to head over to New Guinea. General Vasey's men were preparing for an assault against Dumpu, while being harassed by the infilitration specialists of the Saito Unit. The Saito units had performed infilitrations against Dakisaria and Marawasa. On October 2nd, while the bulk of the 21st and 25th brigades were establishing bridgeheads to cross the Gusap and Tunkaat river. The 2/7th independent company at this time were trying to cross the Ramu into Kaigulin where a Japanese outpost was. The outpost was guarded by the Saito unit, 80 men of the 10th company, 78th regiment supported by the 3rd company. The Saito unit gave them hell, forcing the commandos to cross the Ramu elsewhere trying to hook around their right flank. They managed to pull the flanking maneuver and in the battle killed 6 Japanese. Interestingly Lt R.D Watts decapitated a Japanese using a katana he had acquired in a previous battle, a case of the turntables. I am now realizing when I make this dumb joke many of you might not have watched the office, I must sound even dumber than I am. The following day, Brigadier Dougherty ordered his men to only patrol as he was waiting for Brigadier Eather's forces to assemble in the Bumbum area. Yes, there is a place called Bumbum, I thought Nuk Nuk would be my favorite New Guinea area, I was wrong.  On the morning of October 4th, Dougherty ordered the 2/14th towards Wampun and the 2/16th to capture Dumpu. By 2pm, Captain C.L McInnes lead a company of the 2/14th to find Wampun deserted which was expected. However the men had marched all day in the heat, without any water. McInnes company was sent to Karam to search for water. Another company followed McInnes company soon after and a mile or so out they came across a banana plantation. They saw some troops cutting down banana leaves and assumed it was McInnes men, however these were actually Japanese of the Saito Unit. The forward patrol were carelessly advancing towards the banana plantation when bursts of machine gun and rifle fire hit Colonel Honner and Sergeant Pryor. Pyror wounded in his chin and chest tried to drag his commanding officer back, but Honnor had taken a shot to the leg and could only crawl. Honnor began screaming to his men to figure out the position of the enemy and this led Private Bennet to lead a small party to do so. The Japanese continued to fire upon them and Honnor was hit in his hand to add to his misery. Luckily for them the 2/14th sent a rescue party to extricate Honnor. Honnor was moved to safety by 5pm as Colonel O'Day prepared to attack the Japanese at the banana planation. At 6pm O'day led two platoons to rush their position where they killed 11 troops and a Japanese officers, driving the rest to flee into the jungle. The next morning they would also kill a few stragglers, the action cost 7 australian lives of the 2/14th while killing an estimated 26 Japanese and taking a single prisoner. Meanwhile the 2/16th had successfully crossed the Surinam River without facing any opposition. They sent a platoon ahead led by Lt Scott to check out Dumpu. At 4:40pm he reported back that it seemed Dumpu was still occupied. Major Symington led forward a company to prepare to attack Dumpu, but when they reached its outskirts they could visibly see Japanese fleeing the area. Thus Dougherty's men grabbed Dumpu without a fight. General Vasey believed 78th regiment had failed to relieve pressure on the retreating 51st division, but unbeknownst to him, General Nakano's men were already marching through the formidable Saruwaged range. The range had an altitude of 3000 meters where temperatures fell below 10 degrees. Anyone who tried to start a fire from the moss-covered wood would find it unbelievably difficult. Many men reported heating gunpowder from rifles to start fires. A lot of rifles were burnt away because of this. Their rations ran out quickly, leading to starving men turning upon the dead….and even the living. Private Kitamoto Masamich recalled “seeing three soldiers had pinned a trooper to the ground while one of them stabbed him in the heart with his bayonet. I watched shocked as the remaining three soldiers cut slices of the dead trooper's thigh and began to devour the human flesh. I shouted at them as flies swarmed about their faces… They had become mad with hunger and fatigue.' Kitamoto covered the corpse and moved on. Cannibalism reared its ugly head often for the Japanese, particularly in some parts of Burma by late 1945.  Until now the 7th division was enjoying a pretty uninterrupted advance to Dumpu. The Benabena was pretty secure as well, but General Nakai was establishing strong defensive positions along the Kankirei saddle. This would soon turn the campaign in the Ramu valley and Finisterre range into a gritty holding operation. In the meantime, the allies were being directed towards the FInschhafen campaign, with General Herring ordering Vasey to hold the Dumpu-Marawasa area. There he was to establish a new landing strip at Dumpu and to not make any large advances. Only the 2/27th battalion of Lt Colonel John Bishop would be allowed to advance into the Finisterre foothills. Dougherty hoped the 2/27th might reach Kumbarum within the Finisterre foothills and during a torrential rainstorm they overran the area with no opposition. Bishops men patrolled around and found the enemy was occupying the key feature guarding the exists of the Faria and Uria rivers from some mountains northwest of Kumbarum. Under the cover of rain, Lt King took 8 men to scramble up the feature which panicked the Japanese there causing them to flee without a fight. Thus it was named King's Hill and would become an important tactical position and observation post. Apparently Kings men had come up just when two battalions were changing their troops dispositions, and a platoon guarding King's Hill had retired before even seeing the allied forces. Regardless a company was sent to the Boganon mountain area, that rose some 41000 feet. The torrential rain caused a ton of delays for the construction of the new landing strip. In the meantime the 21st brigade patrolled as much as they could. The 2/16th and 2/14th patrolled west of the Mosia river finding no enemy. On the 6th, the 25th brigade sent patrols in all directions north of the Ramu Valley. They found signs of the enemy recently leaving the Boparimpum area; the same at Koram. Just a bit north of Koram, it looked like there was a Japanese outpost on some high ground. Patrols took care near this outpost as it was expected Japanese snipers were there, but when further prodded it seemed abandoned. The 2/2nd independent company patrolled the area of Sepu towards the Waimeriba crossing of the Ramu finding only signs the enemy had recently vacated the area. A small patrol skirmished with the enemy between Saus and Usini. Kesawai would be found unoccupied on the 5th. Overall it was concluded the Japanese had abandoned the Ramu Valley entirely.  On the 6th, Generals Vasey and Wootten received a signal that the 2/2nd, 2/4th, 2/6th and 2/7th independent companies would become cavalry commando squadrons which did not sit well with the experienced commandos. Since the beginning of 1943, the term “commando” had been increasingly used to describe a member of an independent company. The term was quite alien to the Australian Army, and the tasks undertaken by independent companies since the beginning of the pacific war were not at all like that of what British commandos did. In the short space of two years, the independent companies had built up a proud tradition  and the men regarded the term “independent company” as a much better description of what they did than the terms “cavalry” or “commando” and thus resented the change of title. The next day, Dougherty's 2/16th battalion occupied Bebei and the 2/27th battalion cautiously investigated the upper reaches of the Uria and Faria river valleys. When the men went past the Faria river towards some high ground they suddenly came across a party of 8 Japanese. A fight broke out as they killed 3 of the 8 Japanese receiving no casualties themselves. The Japanese looked to be withdrawing and the Australians dug in for the night in a place designated Guy's Post atop Buff's Knoll. These prodding actions prompted Nakai to order the 2nd battalion, 78th regiment to launch a counterattack against Buff's Knoll. An hour after midnight during a particularly rainy night, a Japanese platoon charged up the knoll. The first attack lasted about half and hour before petering out. The Australian company consolidated around Guy's Post established a defensive perimeter through out the night. However the night attack ultimately failed for the Japanese as they were not familiar with the terrain and the heavy rain made a mess of their advance. On the morning of October 8th, the Japanese tried to push again while the 2/27th consolidated their position in the Faria area. The Japanese barely budged the Australians and on October 9th, Colonel Bishop ordered the company to advance forward astride the main Japanese route going east towards the Kankiryo saddle. The man at Guy's Post followed them an hour or so behind as they skirmished with Japanese towards Trevors ridge and John's knoll. They would kill roughly 11 Japanese as they occupied both Trevors ridge and Johns knoll. Yet this is all for today on New Guinea as we are going to travel back to the CBI theater who we have not talked about in some time. Going way back to 1942, the Japanese empire had been at its zenith forcing the allies to come up with some special operations such as the Chindits. Our old onion necklace wearing friend Brigadier Wingate was running that show, but General Blamey also created his “inter-allied Services Department” known as the ISD. They were a military intelligence unit formed around several British special operations officers who had escaped Singapore before it hell. Inside the ISD later named the Services Reconnaissance Department, a raiding/commando unit was formed called the Z special unit. They were primarily Australian, but also held some British, Dutch, New Zealander, Timorese and Indonesian members. After escaping places like Singapore, and Sumatra, British Captain Ivan Lyon joined the units and became one of their leaders. He devised a plan to attack Japanese shipping in Singapore Harbor. His plan designated Operation Jaywick, called for traversing to the harbor in a vessel disguised as an Asian fishing boat. Then they were to use folboats or folding canoes to get over to enemy ships and attach limpet mines to them. Lyon was promoted to Major and began rigorous training 17th volunteers at Camp X,  a clifftop overlooking Refuge Bay to the north of Sydney. The men worked for weeks digging, breaking rock and clearing scrub around the campsite and parade ground, which worked as prelude to the long, and progressively longer days they would spent canoeing. There were plenty of route marches across rocky hills which Lyon said “consisted of point-to-point walking or scrambling, compass work, stalking and attacks'. The men were tested on elementary navigation, chart reading, tide tables, visual signaling with semaphore and morse and the use of prismatic compasses on land and sea. They trained using a variety of weapons such as Owen sub machine guns, Brens, Lewis guns, all with the view to shoot down enemy aircraft. The practiced unarmed combat, grenade tossing, limpet mining and gelignite. They also received numerous lectures on ship engines. By early 1943, the 17 men had been reduced to 10. They were then given a captured Japanese coastal fish carrier named the Krait which was powered by a Deutz four cylinder engine, had a beam of 11 feet and a range of 8000 miles with a max speed of 6.5 knots. They modified  the vessel to increase her storage capacity. On August 4th, the Krait departed Cairns en route to the submarine base at Exmouth Gulf on the northwest corner of Australia. On September 2nd, Lyon's commandos began their long and dangerous voyage sailing through the Lombok strait to Singapore. None of the men knew about the plan prior to the attack nor their destination.  It was on the third day that Lyon gathered the men to disclose the truth. ‘He said, “Righto, do you know where we're going?”'Some of the men said they believed it was Surabaya in East Java. After Lyon revealed their destination, Moss Berryman recalled ‘They couldn't believe it when they were told they were going to Singapore “to blow up a few ships”'Lyon could see one or two of the men were stunned at the thought of going so deep inside enemy territory. Jones recalled ‘Nobody expected to be going that far and there was sort of talk about how dangerous it was,'. Lyon reassured the men that wasn't the case. ‘This is not a dangerous trip, it's an experience.' But for anyone who didn't fancy it, Lyon said he understood and he would ‘drop you off at the first island we come to and if you're there when we come back we'll pick you up'. It was a smart psychological play as he knew on one would dare lose face in front of his mates. Lyon stared at their faces and they returned his gaze. No one moved. They were all fully committed. Their safety depending on maintaining the disguise of a local fishing boat, so the raiders stained their skin brown with dye to appear more Asiatic, I guess its sort of like the prime minister of my country on Halloween. Cramped on the Krait, the commandos reached the Java sea and passed the south west corner or Borneo getting 50 miles off her coast by September 14th. The enemy's high activity in the area forced Lyon to detour towards Panjang island with the intention of making their way to Durian island. Yet when they approached Durian island they spotted a observation post so they turned back to Panjang which lies approximately 25 miles south of Singapore.  On september 20th, 6 men on 3 canoes carrying 9 limpet mines each departed the Krait enroute to Singapore harbor. The raiders passed through Bulan and the Batam islands on september 22nd, reaching Donas island the next day. On the 24th Lyon sighted 13 sizable ships in the harbor, so he told the men they would be hitting them that night. Lyon distributed cyanide pills to all the men and told them ‘I leave it up to yourselves to decide what you want to do. But I can tell you now that if you get caught you won't have a very good time of it. They're not known for being gentlemen, the Japanese. Don't delude yourselves in thinking you are tough enough to resist interrogation. You could be tortured enough to give away the whole story. You may not be able to do anything about it. Above all, they had to think of their mates on the Krait. If they fell into enemy hands, the Japanese would want to know how we arrived in Singapore' The men rowed through the capricious tide, but it soon forced them back towards Dongas, instead they moved to Suber island the next day. On the night of september 26th, Lyon's raiders departed again, Canoe 1 held Lyon and Huston; Canoe 2 Davidson and falls and Canoe 3 Page and jones. Canoe 2 would hit the north shipping in Keppel Harbor while 1 and 3 would hit examination anchorage and the wharf at Pulau Bukon. Canoe 2 had the strongest men and was given the additional task of returning to Pompong to rendezvous with the Krait  Canoe 2 steered through an anchored ketch on the edge of the main channel, continuing between the islands of Biakang Mati and Tekukor. They arrived to Keppel Harbor and set their sights on a 6000 ton cargo ship sitting low in the water, indicating she had a full load. The found a second target, also a 6000 ton cargo vessel and a third ship of similar proportions, though the last looked not fully loaded. At 1:15am they attached the last of their 9 limpet mines, 3 per ship and made their escape towards Panjang.  The other two canoes had a much easier paddle from Subar. The tide was running east to west, allowing them to go with ease to their target. The paddled together until 9:30 when they separated. At Pulau Bukom an older freighter was mined amidship and around the engine rooms. Then they spotted a modern freighter with engines after and 3 sets of goalpost masts and another 6000 ton old freighter. Over in Examination Anchorage nothing suitable was found, so the raiders mined a tanker even though it was probably impossible to sink with mines. All 4 ships were mined, the men ate some chocolate rations and made their escape towards Dongas. The ships combined comprised around 39000 tons between them. On the way back, the exhausted commandos heard the distant explosions and the chaos that erupted in Singapore. When dawn broke, in Examination anchorage one ship was partially submerged, while two more would sink and 3 were heavily damaged including the tanker Shosei Mary. Canoe 2 and 3 waited until the commotion died down before returning to Panjang, reuniting with everyone aboard the Krait by October 2nd. Their return back to Australia was relatively uneventful, except for one tense incident in the Lombok strait when a IJN minesweeper approached their ship. The commandos remained cool and the minesweeper simply carried on.   The Japanese would retaliate for what happened during Operation Jaywick. On October 10th, the Kempeitai, those are military police of the IJA for those of you who dont know, you can sort of picture the Gestapo, but not quite the same. They went to Changi Prison in Singapore and began reading out a list of civilian names. These named men were taken away for interrogation, torture and in many cases execution. Over the course of 6 months, 50 Europeans and Australians suffered a brutal inquisition. They were beaten with knotted ropes, electrically shocked, had nails driven into the feet, the old cigarettes burnt onto their hands, arms and on their genitals ouch. They were waterboarded and in total 16 men would die. But no credible information was taken from any of them. The Japanese were far more brutal to the Malays and Chinese. Countless were tortured, interrogated and many executed with their severed heads put on posts around the city. After it was all said and done the Kempeitai filled a report speculating the raid had been carried out by two chinese and one Malay. They didn't believe it and their superiors did not either. The 6 months of horror is known as the Double Tenth Massacre.   There was another unit formed known as the M special Unit, which was a joint Australian, New Zealand, Dutch and British reconnaissance unit formed as a successor to the Coastwatchers. Their role was to gather intelligence on Japanese shipping and troop movements. To do this, small teams were landed behind enemy lines by sea, air and land. One of their first operations was Locust led by Lt Jack Fryer. A group of 4 men departed Benabena overland on January 21st and advance to Lumi airstrip. They formed a base camp thee and began observing the Japanese. In conjunction to Locust was operation Whiting, which was a team of 5 Dutchmen led by Sergeant Huibert Staverman who also departed Benabena to establish a coast-watching station in the hills above Hollandia, reaching Aitape by mid september. Unfortunately the operation would be a catastrophe as the Dutch were ambushed around Aitape. Sergeant Staverman, Corporal D.J Topman, privates H Pattiwal, M Reharing and radio operator Sergeant Len Siffleet were publicly executed at Eitape beach on October 24th of 1943.   Another important development was the Japanese seizure of Macau. Unlike the case of Portuguese held Timor taken in 1942, the Japanese has respected Portuguese neutrality in Macau. However there was a huge influx of Chinese, American and European refugees coming from Guangdong and Hong Kong and this aroused Japanese suspicions. After the fall of Hong Kong, the British had established a clandestine support organization inside Macau trying to gain intelligence on the Japanese in an effort rescue the prisoners from Hong Kong. British army aid group known as BAAG, was under the command of Lt Colonel Lindsay Tasman Ride. They operated out of Hong Kong, Waichow, Guilin, Sanbu, Kaiping, Kunming and other places. They had planned out escape routes from Macau for local Chinese using the route through Shekki or via the sea to a place called To Fuk. Guangzhouwan was another escape route that wealthy Chinese and other nationalities with resources could buy passage through. Another route used a heavily armed motor junk that went to the north west point of Macau, Kong CHung and took them as far as Sam Fau. From there with aid, they could get to Guilin and then Chongqing.    But then a blockade was imposed on the Chinese mainland. Macau's survival depended upon receiving rice and fuel from places like Vichy controlled Indochina and Guangzhouwan, but after the Japanese occupied them Macau suffered critical food shortages. Macau's ships were not allowed to be used by Portuguese to carry food and thus were dependent on foreign ships. On the night of August 18th, the British ship Sian, under Portuguese protection was commandeered by a combined fleet of Japanese and pro-Japanese Chinese run ships, which illegally entered Macau's inner harbor. There was a shootout leading to 20 dead British sailors and the Japanese allegedly discovered that the ship was transporting a shipment of illegal weapons to be sold to the NRA. The next morning Lt General Tanaka Hisakzu of the 23rd army ordered troops across the border who clashed briefly with Macau police forces before Lisbon ordered them to not resist.    Governor Mauricio Teixeira was forced to collaborate with the Japanese who starting in September demanded the installation of Japanese advisors or full blown military occupation. The result was Macau becoming a protectorate. The isolated port city became a center for smuggling and black market activities…which it kinda still is today haha.   I would like to take this time to remind you all that this podcast is only made possible through the efforts of Kings and Generals over at Youtube.

The battle for Vella Lavella was over, the Japanese yet again proved themselves experts at the art of evacuation. The battle for Finschhafen was not over by any means and now the allies were cautiously proceeding forward lest they repeat any mistakes learnt in Buna-Gona, Lae and Salamaua.

How the gruesome 1998 incidents paved the way for black magic to be criminalised last year in 2022, in the predominantly Muslim country of Indonesia. Synopsis (headphones recommended): A special edition 6-part series by The Straits Times in Singapore, exploring recent real crimes that gripped, horrified and laid bare the issues that afflicted societies in Asia. Episodes drop every fourth Tuesday of the month from April 25, 2023. Warning: This podcast is an audio documentary of a real crime case which may be troubling and upsetting to certain listeners. Listener discretion is advised. Sorcery is against Islamic teachings, but today, many in Indonesia still consult black magic practitioners for advice. In 1998, a series of killings by unknown masked 'ninjas', targeting suspected sorcerers in East Java, launched the community into a period of mass hysteria, violence and retaliation-attacks. The killings triggered discussions on the need and ways to regulate sorcery, to prevent similar instances and to stop people from taking the law into their own hands. The legal gap was finally plugged last year in 2022, when laws on sorcery were included in the revised Criminal Code passed by the Parliament. The government is also seeking to settle the case, along with 11 other human rights abuses, by non-judicial means.    ST's Indonesia Bureau Chief Arlina Arshad narrates this podcast.

It's Monday, February 13th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. By Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com) Indonesian Christian arrested for YouTube videos An Indonesian Christian apologist, Gratia Pello, has not been seen since his arrest in early December, reports Morning Star News. On December 6, 2022, police came to Pello's home and arrested him. Pello, a professor at a small Christian theological school in East Java, regularly published videos that compared Christianity to Islam. His content was widely disseminated online.   Pello is reportedly a Coptic Orthodox Christian known for debates with Muslims. Proverbs 28:1 says the “righteous are as bold as a lion.” This Indonesian professor certainly qualifies. Many Christians and other religious minorities in the Muslim-majority country often face persecution. According to Open Doors' 2023 World Watch List, Indonesia is the 33rd most difficult country to be a Christian. Please pray for Gratia Pello's release from his Indonesian prison. DeSantis preps 2024 presidential bid behind the scenes Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis is actively preparing a run for president in 2024, even as he delays a formal announcement to keep Republican voters' attention on his aggressively conservative record in Florida, reports Bloomberg. Behind the scenes, DeSantis and his tight-knit team of advisers are interviewing national consultants to work on a presidential campaign. A retreat for roughly 150 donors, GOP leaders and lawmakers is planned for the final weekend in February at a hotel in Palm Beach, where DeSantis will tout his record as governor. Oddly enough, former President Donald Trump has already started to attack his Florida rival, giving him the nonsensical nickname of “Ron DeSanctimonious.”  The Republican primary has gotten off to a slow start, with Trump as the only official candidate so far. Former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley is expected to announce her run on February 15. Andy Stanley: Homosexuals have “more faith than a lot of you” A now-viral video of Georgia Pastor Andy Stanley magnifying the faith of homosexuals over "most" of his own congregation has drawn sharp criticism from pastors and Christian thinkers alike, reports The Christian Post.  The clip of Stanley, an influential pastor of North Point Community Church in Alpharetta, Georgia, comes from North Point's Drive Conference last May, where Stanley told pastors and church leaders that any homosexual who continues to go to church has "more faith than a lot of you." Listen. STANLEY: “A gay person who still wants to attend church, after the way the church has treated the gay community, I'm telling you, they have more faith than I do. They have more faith than a lot of you. “A gay person who knows, ‘You know what, I might not be accepted here, but I'm going to try it anyway.' Have you ever done that as a straight person? Where do you go that you're not sure you're going to be accepted and you go over and over and over and over? Only your in-laws' house. That's the only place you go, where you know you're not completely accepted, but you go over and over and over. And it's because you have to. But other than the in-laws, what environment do you continue to step foot in, knowing at any moment, you may feel ostracized? No place. “I'm telling you that gay men and women who grew up in church and the gay men and women have come to faith in Christ as adults who want to participate in our church. Oh, my goodness. I know 1 Corinthians 6 and I know Leviticus, and I know Romans 1. It's so interesting to talk about all that stuff, but, just, oh my goodness.” Stanley referenced and then tabled Leviticus 18:22 which says, “Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.” Tony Perkins: “Andy Stanley is a false prophet!” Appearing on Todd Starnes' radio show, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins didn't pull any punches. PERKINS: “Andy Stanley is a false prophet, and I believe he is going to have to give an account for ignoring scripture. “It's kind of like in Jeremiah's day where Jeremiah was the target of the cancel culture because he was speaking the Word of God: ‘The people needed to repent and return to the truth.' And the false prophets were saying, “Ah, no, no, peace, peace. Nothing's gonna happen. This guy is just out there. He's crazy.” “We have false prophets today. And when they deviate from the Word of God, they get into this error, into this heretical teaching. And Andy Stanley is one of those.” STARNES: “I think it's causing confusion in the church as well. when he comes out with these kinds of statements.” PERKINS: “It's not only causing confusion, this is causing people to walk in darkness. This is very dangerous. And this is why the New Testament talks about teachers are going to be held to a higher account because, you know, if you're a teacher, if you're a leader, people are listening to you, and they are following you. I make this statement only because I have communicated with Andy Stanley in the past about statements that he's made. So I approached him about these issues, and he said, we'll just have to agree to disagree.” Perkins explained why it's critical that Christian pastors, like Andy Stanley, have a biblical perspective which condemns homosexual behavior. PERKINS: “We're at a point where we're seeing children that are being trafficked. We see children that are being led down this path and an alarming rate led into confusion about their sexual identity.” South Dakota to ban transgender surgeries, hormones for kids And finally, South Dakota is poised to ban puberty blockers, hormone treatments, and disfiguring transgender surgeries to kids younger than 18, reports UPI News. To their credit, the state Senate vote was 30-4 and fell along party lines. The bill now heads to Republican Governor Kristi Noem's desk, where she has signaled she will sign the bill into law.

On 9 November 2022, Malaysia held its 15th General Elections. These elections took place within an unprecedentedly open and fragmented political landscape. Instead of the usual two main coalitions contending as frontrunners, Malaysia now has three main coalitions: Barisan Nasional (BN), Pakatan Harapan (PH), and Perikatan Nasional (PN). Not one of these coalitions won enough seats to form government, and it was only after much jockeying around that Pakatan Harapan, led by Anwar Ibrahim, was able to cobble together enough support to form the so-called unity government. Joining Dr Natali Pearson on SSEAC Stories, Dr Azmil Tayeb unpacks Malaysia's recent elections and its evershifting political landscape, discussing the return of ethnoreligious political parties, the future of coalition politics and the unexpected voting patterns of young Malaysian voters. About Azmil Tayeb: Dr Azmil Tayeb is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Social Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia in Penang. He has done extensive research on political Islam, social movements and local government politics, particularly in Indonesia and Malaysia.

The East Java Ninja Scare - an outbreak of mass hysteria in East Java, Indonesia that led to hundreds of deaths - reached its peak with a massacre of suspected ‘sorcerers' on 18th October, 1998. Essentially a witch-hunt in which vulnerable misfits were targeted for slaughter by superstitious vigilante mobs, the violence nonetheless had its roots in the very real murder of some Muslim clerics by unknown assailants, and the disarray following decades of Indonesian dictatorship. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider the causes of this bizarre and scary chapter; explain how indigienous and Muslim practices combined in the East Java region to create a unique mix of beliefs; and discover how, despite the killings, the fervour and excitement had created a ‘carnival atmosphere'...  Further Reading: • ‘Hunting and killing ninjas in Indonesia' (New Mandala, 2016):  https://www.newmandala.org/hunting-killing-ninjas-indonesia/ • ‘Fears of Sorcerers Spur Killings in Java' (The New York Times, 1998): https://www.nytimes.com/1998/10/20/world/fears-of-sorcerers-spur-killings-in-java.html?searchResultPosition=1 • ‘The Turning Point' (Journeyman Pictures, 1998): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI97D4tMj70 Love the show?

Indonesia continues to search for answers and comfort after more than 130 fans died at a football match. There appears to have been a deadly combination at the Kanjuruhan stadium in Malang, East Java, of over-crowding, tear gas being fired by police and blocked exits during the ensuing panic. The president of Fifa, the game's world governing body, called it a “dark day” for football. Host James Reynolds has spent the past week hearing from survivors, who describe how they feel lucky to be alive and now want nothing more to do with football. He also brings together two Indonesian sports broadcasters for their assessment of what went wrong.

In the video a pediatric endocrinologist at the hospital, Dr. Jerrold Olshan, said, "This isn't a choice in most individuals, this is probably biologically programmed." Olshan said "About one in four will attempt suicide, about half will consider suicide during adolescence and so our big goal is how do we help this population do better in the long run," citing the frequently debunked transgender affirm or suicide myth. Evidence has emerged this year that treatment at gender clinics for children are actually increasing suicidal ideation. The doctor's belief that gender ideology is "probably programmed" enabled the hospital to not only push chest binding and genital tucking, but life-changing drugs. So let’s talk about the data: Data from the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS), the world's largest clinic treating transgender-identified youth, shows that patients treated at or referred to the clinic are at an estimated 5.5 times greater risk of committing suicide than the general population of adolescents, according to a new paper published this month in the Archives of Sexual Behaviour. There are several takeaways from Michael Biggs' study: Trans-identified youth treated or referred to GIDs are more likely to die by suicide than youth in the general population. The suicide rate is low for both populations. We cannot conclude that the GIDs patients committed suicide because of their trans identity, versus another cause. All of these numbers are estimates based on the best available data; the study results would have been more accurate if a comparison between GIDs suicides and suicides amongst youth getting mental health care could be made. Based on what Biggs found, the media narrative that trans youth are suicides waiting to happen is a lie that does not help—and is likely to harm—trans-identified youth and their families. Between 2010 and 2020, four youth out of 15,000 patients died by "known or suspected" suicide. The annual suicide rate of trans-identified youth was 0.03 percent. This is at odds with a mainstream media narrative that claims 50 percent of trans-identified youth attempt suicide, says Michael Biggs, Oxford sociology professor and author of this new paper. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/faith-freedom-self-reliance/liberal-strongholds-cling-vaccine-mandates Liberal strongholds cling to vaccine mandates For many people, the pandemic no longer factors into daily life. But in a handful of liberal cities, universities, and companies, some people are still subject to vaccine mandates that may require as many as four shots to keep their jobs or spots in school. Some of the mandates are facing growing protests and legal challenges. Roughly two dozen former firefighters in Seattle filed a lawsuit against the city this week for denying their requests for religious exemptions to the vaccine and firing them. New York City’s largest police union successfully sued to invalidate the city’s vaccine mandate for its members; a judge ruled this week that the union’s contract with the police department did not include an ability for the department to enforce such a mandate. The judge ordered the reinstatement of all the union-backed members fired under the vaccination requirements. Even so, New York City officials said they planned to fight the ruling. More than 1,700 city workers across all departments had been fired as of this month over their refusal to comply with the vaccine mandate. Four fired employees of a retirement care facility in Alabama filed a lawsuit last week against their former employer, alleging religious discrimination. The former employees claim their sincere requests for religious exemptions from the company’s vaccine mandate were denied improperly. Political support for such mandates has dropped precipitously over the past year, and even some of the most ardent defenders of mandates have rolled back requirements they once championed. Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D), for example, boasted in January that his vaccine requirement had nearly doubled the vaccination rate of the state workforce. He stressed at the time that “no intervention is as important as vaccination” in fighting COVID-19. Inslee rescinded the vaccine mandate earlier this month, setting an Oct. 31 date for its expiration while citing the value of “different tools that are now more appropriate for the era we’ve entered.” Goldman Sachs had for months required not just COVID-19 vaccines but booster shots as well for employees working from its offices. The investment bank quietly ended its vaccine mandate in late August, as well as its testing requirements and mask guidance. Other major companies that pushed vaccine mandates aggressively last year, when the Biden administration was fighting an ultimately losing battle to require vaccination in virtually all workplaces, have since dropped their policies. Comcast recently dropped its vaccine mandate for employees as it struggles to lure workers back into the office, while JPMorgan Chase said earlier this year that it would start hiring unvaccinated workers again. But some corporations continue to insist workers get their COVID-19 shots. Google and Facebook, for example, require vaccines for in-person employees, according to Axios . Among the most controversial remaining vaccine mandates is one imposed by Washington, D.C., leaders on children attending public school. Students 12 years and older must be fully vaccinated by January to remain in Washington, D.C., public schools; the deadline was originally set for the beginning of the school year this fall, but vaccination rates among black students, in particular, were low enough that city leaders pushed back the effective date. Some colleges and universities are requiring vaccines and boosters for all students — even those who take online classes. Georgetown University requires even fully online students to be fully vaccinated if at any point their studies will bring them to campus. At the University of California, Berkeley, even vaccinated students will be banned from signing up for classes until they accept a booster shot. Recipients typically aren’t eligible for boosters until several months after their primary vaccination series, and in the case of students not yet eligible for their booster shot, UC Berkeley rules say students “will not have an enrollment until 30 days after you have become eligible to get your booster.” Other jurisdictions are rolling vaccine mandates back slowly to balance the growing opposition to COVID-19 rules with the demands of groups that want them implemented indefinitely. New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) last week ended the city’s policy of demanding that private companies in the city require vaccination for their employees, but he left in place the city’s vaccine mandate for its own workers, for example. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/foreign/poland-demands-germany-pay-reparations-for-world-war-ii Poland demands Germany pay $1.26 trillion in reparations for World War II Poland's foreign minister has signed a diplomatic note requesting that Germany pay the equivalent of $1.26 trillion in reparations for damage incurred by Poland during the Nazi German invasion that set off World War II. The $1.26 trillion amount was calculated from an extensive government report on lasting damages from the war, released on the 83rd anniversary of Germany's Sept. 1 invasion of Poland last month. Poland's Communist government had previously waived all further claims to compensation for WWII in 1953 under pressure from the Soviet Union, but the ruling Law and Justice Party (PiS) rejects this as invalid, according to Al Jazeera. PiS has taken up the cause of World War II reparations since its ascension to power in 2015, using German aggression in World War II as a central part of its nationalism. “[The note] expresses the position of the Polish minister of foreign affairs that the parties should take immediate steps to permanently and effectively … settle the issue of the consequences of aggression and German occupation,” Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau said of the matter, adding that it will be one of the foremost points of discussion during German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock's visit to Warsaw on Tuesday. Germany rejects all Polish claims for reparations, saying the matter has already been settled. It further points to the vast tracks of land Poland took from prewar Germany, given by Joseph Stalin when he redrew the postwar map of eastern Europe, as fitting compensation. The Polish government believes the severity of damages from World War II means that further, direct payments are needed in compensation. Six million Poles are estimated to have died during the war. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2022/10/02/within-just-48-hours-florida-received-more-than-20-million-in-hurricane-donations-n2613863 Within Just 48 Hours, Florida Received More Than $20 Million in Hurricane Donations Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla) and First Lady Casey DeSantis are praising the help his state has received following the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Ian. In just 48 hours, the state of Florida raised more than $20 million to go toward its Florida Disaster Fund. From more than 52 different corporations and individuals such as Tom Brady, David Rubin, and Rumble, First Lady DeSantis says the money shows how loyal people are to Florida. Within just hours of activating the Florida Disaster Fund, over $10 million was raised from countless people and corporations. This goes to show the support DeSantis has created by keeping his state free from liberal madness. She said that the money is already hard at work to clean up and restore people’s homes after the category 4 storm wrecked livelihoods. DeSantis is working hard to make sure his state receives the help they need as the death toll from Ian raised to at least 50 people as floodwaters rise to dangerous levels. Now it’s time for my favorite topic… sports, but today’s story is a bit of a somber one… https://nypost.com/2022/10/01/129-dead-during-fan-stampede-after-indonesian-soccer-match/ At least 125 dead during fan stampede after Indonesian soccer match At least 125 people are dead — most of them trampled in a stampede– after violent brawls erupted between opposing fans after a soccer match in Indonesia Sunday, marking one of the deadliest crowd calamities in sporting history. Authorities initially said that 174 people had been killed in the chaos, but the death toll had been revised after officials learned that some victims had been counted twice, according to East Java Deputy Governor Emil Dardak. Numerous fights broke out among rival fans at the Kanjuruhan Stadium in East Java province’s Malang city just as Persebaya Surabaya defeated home team Arema Malang 3-2 in the Indonesian Premier League Match on Sunday. In an effort to break up the fights, riot police fired tear gas which sent hundreds of panicked fans fleeing for the stadium exits, East Java Police Chief Nico Afinta said. In the chaos, dozens of people were trampled to death instantly, while others suffocated. Afinta said over 300 others were rushed to local hospitals, but many died on the way and during treatment. The disaster began when fans of Arema had pelted players and officials with bottles and other objects following their loss, witnesses said. Many then flooded the field to confront the team’s management about the unwanted outcome – Armea’s first home loss to Persebaya in 23 years. Video circulating on social media shows fans from each side of the soccer pitch sprint toward midfield, appearing ready to fight each other before riot police suddenly run between them. Other video shows hundreds of fans frantically sprinting across the pitch for the exits, flinging themselves over barriers and desperately climbing fences. Riot police can be seen kicking and hitting people with batons as they try to get away — and firing tear gas canisters directly into the crowd at both ends of the field. “Officers fired tear gas directly at spectators in the stands, forcing us to run toward the exit,” said spectator Ahmad Fatoni. “Many victims fell because of shortness of breath and difficulty seeing due to tear gas and were trampled.” Another video shot from the seats shows a whole section of the stands engulfed in tear gas as fans cry out. Disturbing footage shows a mass of injured people packed tightly into an overwhelmed hospital, with some lying motionless on the hospital floor. Despite Indonesia’s lack of international accolades in the sport, hooliganism is rife in the soccer-obsessed country where fanaticism often ends in violence, as in the 2018 death of a supporter who was killed by a mob of hardcore fans of rival club in 2018. And that is what happens when you worship other idols other than God… He gives you over to madness. This has been your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief.

There will be no newsbriefs for Thursday and Friday this week! Before we do that however: FLF Conference Plug In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, and the Word didn’t stay in Heaven. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory of the Father, full of grace and truth. Grace and Truth became flesh. The Word became flesh. The story of God’s grace became flesh. And it is that Word, that truth, that story that will fill the world. That is why this year’s Fight Laugh Feast Conference in Knoxville Tennessee is on Lies, Propaganda, storytelling, and the serrated edge. The Word is a sword. The Word is our glory.

In the video a pediatric endocrinologist at the hospital, Dr. Jerrold Olshan, said, "This isn't a choice in most individuals, this is probably biologically programmed." Olshan said "About one in four will attempt suicide, about half will consider suicide during adolescence and so our big goal is how do we help this population do better in the long run," citing the frequently debunked transgender affirm or suicide myth. Evidence has emerged this year that treatment at gender clinics for children are actually increasing suicidal ideation. The doctor's belief that gender ideology is "probably programmed" enabled the hospital to not only push chest binding and genital tucking, but life-changing drugs. So let’s talk about the data: Data from the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS), the world's largest clinic treating transgender-identified youth, shows that patients treated at or referred to the clinic are at an estimated 5.5 times greater risk of committing suicide than the general population of adolescents, according to a new paper published this month in the Archives of Sexual Behaviour. There are several takeaways from Michael Biggs' study: Trans-identified youth treated or referred to GIDs are more likely to die by suicide than youth in the general population. The suicide rate is low for both populations. We cannot conclude that the GIDs patients committed suicide because of their trans identity, versus another cause. All of these numbers are estimates based on the best available data; the study results would have been more accurate if a comparison between GIDs suicides and suicides amongst youth getting mental health care could be made. Based on what Biggs found, the media narrative that trans youth are suicides waiting to happen is a lie that does not help—and is likely to harm—trans-identified youth and their families. Between 2010 and 2020, four youth out of 15,000 patients died by "known or suspected" suicide. The annual suicide rate of trans-identified youth was 0.03 percent. This is at odds with a mainstream media narrative that claims 50 percent of trans-identified youth attempt suicide, says Michael Biggs, Oxford sociology professor and author of this new paper. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/faith-freedom-self-reliance/liberal-strongholds-cling-vaccine-mandates Liberal strongholds cling to vaccine mandates For many people, the pandemic no longer factors into daily life. But in a handful of liberal cities, universities, and companies, some people are still subject to vaccine mandates that may require as many as four shots to keep their jobs or spots in school. Some of the mandates are facing growing protests and legal challenges. Roughly two dozen former firefighters in Seattle filed a lawsuit against the city this week for denying their requests for religious exemptions to the vaccine and firing them. New York City’s largest police union successfully sued to invalidate the city’s vaccine mandate for its members; a judge ruled this week that the union’s contract with the police department did not include an ability for the department to enforce such a mandate. The judge ordered the reinstatement of all the union-backed members fired under the vaccination requirements. Even so, New York City officials said they planned to fight the ruling. More than 1,700 city workers across all departments had been fired as of this month over their refusal to comply with the vaccine mandate. Four fired employees of a retirement care facility in Alabama filed a lawsuit last week against their former employer, alleging religious discrimination. The former employees claim their sincere requests for religious exemptions from the company’s vaccine mandate were denied improperly. Political support for such mandates has dropped precipitously over the past year, and even some of the most ardent defenders of mandates have rolled back requirements they once championed. Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D), for example, boasted in January that his vaccine requirement had nearly doubled the vaccination rate of the state workforce. He stressed at the time that “no intervention is as important as vaccination” in fighting COVID-19. Inslee rescinded the vaccine mandate earlier this month, setting an Oct. 31 date for its expiration while citing the value of “different tools that are now more appropriate for the era we’ve entered.” Goldman Sachs had for months required not just COVID-19 vaccines but booster shots as well for employees working from its offices. The investment bank quietly ended its vaccine mandate in late August, as well as its testing requirements and mask guidance. Other major companies that pushed vaccine mandates aggressively last year, when the Biden administration was fighting an ultimately losing battle to require vaccination in virtually all workplaces, have since dropped their policies. Comcast recently dropped its vaccine mandate for employees as it struggles to lure workers back into the office, while JPMorgan Chase said earlier this year that it would start hiring unvaccinated workers again. But some corporations continue to insist workers get their COVID-19 shots. Google and Facebook, for example, require vaccines for in-person employees, according to Axios . Among the most controversial remaining vaccine mandates is one imposed by Washington, D.C., leaders on children attending public school. Students 12 years and older must be fully vaccinated by January to remain in Washington, D.C., public schools; the deadline was originally set for the beginning of the school year this fall, but vaccination rates among black students, in particular, were low enough that city leaders pushed back the effective date. Some colleges and universities are requiring vaccines and boosters for all students — even those who take online classes. Georgetown University requires even fully online students to be fully vaccinated if at any point their studies will bring them to campus. At the University of California, Berkeley, even vaccinated students will be banned from signing up for classes until they accept a booster shot. Recipients typically aren’t eligible for boosters until several months after their primary vaccination series, and in the case of students not yet eligible for their booster shot, UC Berkeley rules say students “will not have an enrollment until 30 days after you have become eligible to get your booster.” Other jurisdictions are rolling vaccine mandates back slowly to balance the growing opposition to COVID-19 rules with the demands of groups that want them implemented indefinitely. New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) last week ended the city’s policy of demanding that private companies in the city require vaccination for their employees, but he left in place the city’s vaccine mandate for its own workers, for example. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/foreign/poland-demands-germany-pay-reparations-for-world-war-ii Poland demands Germany pay $1.26 trillion in reparations for World War II Poland's foreign minister has signed a diplomatic note requesting that Germany pay the equivalent of $1.26 trillion in reparations for damage incurred by Poland during the Nazi German invasion that set off World War II. The $1.26 trillion amount was calculated from an extensive government report on lasting damages from the war, released on the 83rd anniversary of Germany's Sept. 1 invasion of Poland last month. Poland's Communist government had previously waived all further claims to compensation for WWII in 1953 under pressure from the Soviet Union, but the ruling Law and Justice Party (PiS) rejects this as invalid, according to Al Jazeera. PiS has taken up the cause of World War II reparations since its ascension to power in 2015, using German aggression in World War II as a central part of its nationalism. “[The note] expresses the position of the Polish minister of foreign affairs that the parties should take immediate steps to permanently and effectively … settle the issue of the consequences of aggression and German occupation,” Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau said of the matter, adding that it will be one of the foremost points of discussion during German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock's visit to Warsaw on Tuesday. Germany rejects all Polish claims for reparations, saying the matter has already been settled. It further points to the vast tracks of land Poland took from prewar Germany, given by Joseph Stalin when he redrew the postwar map of eastern Europe, as fitting compensation. The Polish government believes the severity of damages from World War II means that further, direct payments are needed in compensation. Six million Poles are estimated to have died during the war. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2022/10/02/within-just-48-hours-florida-received-more-than-20-million-in-hurricane-donations-n2613863 Within Just 48 Hours, Florida Received More Than $20 Million in Hurricane Donations Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla) and First Lady Casey DeSantis are praising the help his state has received following the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Ian. In just 48 hours, the state of Florida raised more than $20 million to go toward its Florida Disaster Fund. From more than 52 different corporations and individuals such as Tom Brady, David Rubin, and Rumble, First Lady DeSantis says the money shows how loyal people are to Florida. Within just hours of activating the Florida Disaster Fund, over $10 million was raised from countless people and corporations.

Over the weekend, one of the deadliest stadium disasters happened in Malang, East Java when local rivals Arema FC lost to Persebaya Surabaya - the Arema's first home lost in this fixture for over 23 years. Fans stormed the pitch causing police & authorities to react firing teargas trapping fans and causing at least 125 fans their lives - including 32 young children - and hundreds more hurt in the aftermath. With Indonesian fans and police/security officials shifting the blame to each other in the days that followed, this week we dissect how and why this happened & how the Kanjurahan disaster would affect the landscape of Indonesian football.

don't have that. Jack Still no. Yunita Still don't have that and we have like 1 channel here in. Yunita Admission at that time. Yunita And easy. Yunita A movie called Little House in the Prairie and then growing pains and then run and then yeah, TV show all or in English. Jack OK, yeah. Jack Uh, TV shows. Yunita Fish and I don't know and I don't understand and we have like this subscription the bottom yeah subtitles and and and the way they solve problems they the way they communicate between brothers begins to sister is so nice and they are not fighting they just like. Yunita 1 We need subtitles. Yunita Can we discuss about this without fighting things on web? Yunita And those are very nice. Yunita Only if I can be done with my brother. Yunita My brother would teach me more about angles so. Yunita Instead of getting my brother teaching me, I'm watching that television, watching that show again and again, and I'm trying myself to like mimicry. Kevin Oh, nice. Yunita You know, like whenever they say how are you? Yunita And then my mouth seems like. Kevin Right, you would copy after. Kevin Right now, that's great to watch the show again and again. Kevin Actually, I remember when I first started teaching here in Korea. Kevin One of my students at the university his. Kevin English was quite good. Kevin And compared to many of the other students and I was quite surprised at so. Kevin I asked him, did you live in another country or travel or whatever? Kevin And he said no, no, no. Kevin I asked him how did he learn? Kevin And he learned from watching friends the same way. Kevin And the way he did it was it was very interesting. Kevin He said he watched friends three times. Kevin He watched it first with Korean subtitles. Kevin Basically, to learn the story, to learn the characters. Kevin Then he watched it with English subtitles, so he still has something to help him, but you know, not not Korean. Kevin And then he watched it again with nothing. Kevin Just just watching it because it's amazing. Kevin Even just watching TV again and again. Kevin I think that's the trick, watching it more than one time. Kevin If you just watch. Kevin A movie. Kevin One time you'll just watch this up. Kevin Titles and it's done. Kevin You won't learn anything from it. Jack One of the common themes from us doing this, these interviews, is that our students are our our interview. Jack Interviewees often say I they're really passionate about learning English, specifically because there are so many. Jack Language choices that you could have, you know chosen, but for whatever reason in English was the one that you just really latched onto early, and that has. Jack Become an, another person interviewed said. Jack That was it's the passion of my life is to to study and learn English. Jack So what? Jack What did? Jack What was? Jack It about English that was so you, you know, attractive to you, even even as at such a young age. Yunita I want to be a stewardess at that time. Yunita 'cause I I see that stewardess is so beautiful, tall and slim and everything about you. Kevin Ah, nice. Yunita This is so just awesome. Yunita And then I asked my dad. Yunita If I want to be stewardess and my dad said you have to speak English, that's a trigger, trigger when I was a. Jack Go fast. Yunita Kid so, but. Yunita I'm not a stewardess anymore. Jack Yeah, but I mean that's. Kevin Did you try and become a stewardess after you got out of high school? Kevin Did you continue to want to do that or at that? Yunita I apply. Kevin Point you did you drive? Yunita I applied the application here as I did, but my mom didn't allow me. Kevin Just try for it. Kevin Oh, I. Yunita No, no, no, no, no. Kevin Didn't do that. Yunita It's it's just too bad. Yunita But here, it's Indonesian culture and stuff. Yunita But when your parents say no, we say OK. Jack Yeah, but this. Kevin Still, you got the English from from learning it, and you're still using the English even though you weren't flying in in in airplanes. Jack And there's something about about being a stewardess and and traveling all over the world that is I can see is very attractive to young person who you know, wants to go out and see the. Yunita 1 We will. Jack World so yeah. Jack That that makes a lot of sense. Kevin My aunt actually is a flight attendant and I think we should interview her one of these days. Jack Yeah, yeah. Kevin 'cause it's kinda. Yunita Charles, that would be fine, you know, and actually you you got a season and podcasts about traveling in space. Jack No, yeah, she's been. Kevin Doing it for a long time. Kevin Yeah, coming out, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yunita That counts. Kevin By the time this episode will be released, it will have have come out. Yunita 1 No, no. Kevin Already for anyone to listen. Kevin But yeah, it was just what do we think about space travel? Kevin I wonder what the Space Flight attendants will be like in here for those life. Yunita Right, exactly, exactly. Yunita That was that was in my mind. Yunita How how would a stewardess looks like in this space here? Kevin No nice zero gravity flight attendants. Yunita Maybe, yeah. Yunita Oh yeah, you know, like they always are. Kevin That that, that is even more fun job. Yunita Flying things like. Yunita That and I'm sure that Members will got interested in that kind of podcast because. Yunita They they would like thinking out of their mind, like, Oh yeah, there will be awesome. Kevin So before we, uh, just just to move on a little bit, how do you practice, how do you study English these days? Yunita My phone number. Kevin What do you do to continue improving? Yunita Talking with us. Kevin Although then listen to our podcast of course. Yunita The same the same things. Yunita Now every time I listen to podcasts, listen to songs and everything which related to English, I try to translate it. Yunita I like to read. Yunita To meet. Yunita And then I like to read in Kindle because I don't have to bother myself to open the dictionary because I just like. Yunita There is a, uh, a word which I don't understand. Yunita I just click it and there is a dictionary about it and they explain it. Kevin So it's quite nice you didn't know. Yunita Yeah, and then. Yunita But somehow I didn't teach my students to have Kindle because they have to open dictionary and I did that too. Yunita And I still do do this mimicry from movie I really like. So like role-playing and then I, I I'd be a bad day and good girl and then we do water hard things like that. So that's the way I do and maybe people have. Kevin That's great. Yunita Uh, I think that I have this what nature or normal way of talking with people, maybe because of movie and maybe because of the way I listen to people when they're talking. Yunita When you guys talking on podcasts is seem so normal. Yunita It seems like you were just two friends. Yunita And having tea together before Chandra. Kevin Well, we are, we are pretty. Jack Much and what our podcast is. Yunita Yeah, so that's why I told John that I liked your podcast. Jack We did, yeah. Yunita It seems like you you guys are talking in real life, in the porch, sitting together, having tea and cookies, things like that. Jack Right. Yunita So I described that. Yunita It's enjoyable. Relax. Kevin Nice, yeah. Kevin Mimicry really can be helpful, and it's it's something that you can do by yourself. Kevin That's one difficult thing about learning a language is when you're alone. Kevin It's often hard to practice, but even just copying it is a way to help you learn how to be natural, and it puts those. Kevin Language patterns into your. Kevin And then when you finally do speak with someone, those patterns are already in there and then they come out much more naturally, hopefully after after using. Yunita Find out. Yunita Yeah, exactly. Jack Them and it sounds, you know well. Yunita I really like your broadcast as we leave the. Jack Thank you so much. Yunita Sounds horrible. Yunita Some normal sounds natural. Yunita You're not making this. Yunita Up you start talking. Yunita That's all. Kevin Yeah, we we have tried making some scripts and it it we're not very good actors. Kevin We're better at just being friends than the nesting. Jack Improvising, yeah, a lot of people are self-conscious when they when it comes to learning the. Jack Language they they. Jack Be like I don't want to try because I might make a mistake or I don't want to watch and repeat while I watch this television show. Jack 'cause what if somebody sees me? Jack I'll be embarrassed, you know? Jack What's your message to people out there? Jack Who think like that? Jack You know, because I think there are a lot of people to feel that way. Kevin You are shy? Thanks. Jack Like, oh, I don't want to be embarrassed. Jack I don't. Jack Want to say the wrong thing? Jack But then they get stuck, you know, they can't move up anymore, they can't improve. Jack So what? Jack What's your, what's your, what would be your advice to to people who are stuck in that mindset? Yunita I I would rather to tell about my experience if I give them advice. Yunita Sounds like I'm older. Jack Yeah, sure. Yunita So, Oh yeah. Jack Well, just to tell. Jack Them what you do you know, yeah, yeah. Yunita All my experience I. Yunita Well, whenever I make mistakes in grammar, in the way of pronunciation, in the way I ride or whatever, whatever, what kind of mistake is that I I just feel. Yunita I feel that I have the self-confidence because people would correct my my pronunciation the way I the way I write everything. Yunita Everyone will correct me and that is fine because if I make mistake and then people correct me, I will remember that the rest of my life. Yunita Because if I learn from mistake. Yunita I will just recall that over and over again, but if I am not making mistake, I didn't know which one is the error one. Yunita So even I'm talking right now, people might say that you are fluent in talking, but I feel that I make mistake and you guys might know it. Kevin That's true. Yunita I'm sure, but I I still have this confidence. Yunita With this I will. Kevin Yeah, that's a really good point. Kevin Like, you can't, no, you can't fix your mistakes. Kevin Unless you know what they. Kevin Are so making mistakes as important? Jack And even here, as native speakers were we start, I start sentences, and I stop. Jack And then I I restated again. Jack And I I make a lot of like if you wrote down everything I said on paper, it would, it wouldn't. Jack It would look like there were a. Jack Lot of mistakes. Jack Language is messy. Jack I think some people think it's clean, right? Jack They just like, oh, it's so clean and perfect. Jack No, no, no, it's it's always going to be met. Jack See, and I think if people accept that, then maybe they feel a little less shy, a little less embarrassed to do, you know, just try. Kevin Yeah, everyone makes mistakes. Jack Yeah, you you seem like a person who's not afraid to just try. Jack Like, I'm going to go talk to this person. Jack I'm going to do the best I can, and if I make some mistakes, who cares? Jack Like names. Yunita And I will remember that dress on my lap. Yunita I make mistake and the right one is like this. Yunita I will remember that. Yunita That that's the difference when you are good already good at the 1st place and you will know that you are actually making something wrong. Kevin Yeah, that's that's a great lesson, I think, for everyone to learn and just just to wrap up here at the end just because of of time. Kevin I'd love to talk to you longer. Kevin If you could give our listeners and everyone else out there one thing that you think worked best for you, since you said you don't want to give advice, so this doesn't have to be advice but for you. Kevin What do you think? Kevin Was the single one. Kevin Best thing that you do or did that that helped you in English. Kevin Maybe it was something we already talked about or? Kevin Something new, just what do? Kevin You think was the best for you? Yunita Languages habit, so make it your habit. Kevin And how did you make it a habit? Yunita Talking, enlisting, kingless, riding Inglis. Yunita Do everything about English. Yunita If you have like, you know if you have like 5 minutes in your feet. Kevin Just a little bit every day, all the time. Yunita Warm start writing in English, even it's messy. Yunita Start talking with yourself involved, Neil. Yunita Even you don't know whether it is right or wrong. Kevin Right. Yunita 1 Guys, thank you. Yunita Dismember views about habit. Kevin Flash drive. Yunita That's it. Kevin Yeah, I've I've heard similar advice before, so I think that's that sounds like it. Kevin It worked very well for you, and I think it can work well for other. Yunita Come on. Kevin People.

The Medang kingdom or the Mataram kingdom was a Javanese Hindu-Buddhist kingdom which flourished between the 8th and 11th centuries. It was based in Central Java, and then in East Java. The first account of the Medang Mataram Kingdom is in the Canggal inscription, dated 732, discovered in the Gunung Wukir Temple compound in the village of Canggal, southwest of the town of Magelang. This inscription, written in Sanskrit using the Pallava script, tells of the erection of a lingga (symbol of Shiva) on a hill in the Kunjarakunja district , located on a noble island called Yawadwipa (Java), blessed with abundance of rice and gold. The lingga was founded by order of Rakai Mataram Sang Ratu Sanjaya (King Sanjaya Lord of Mataram) the founder of the kingdom. At its peak, the kingdom had become a dominant empire—not only in Java, but also in Sumatra, Bali, southern Thailand, Indianized kingdoms of the Philippines, and the Khmer in Cambodia.

"Negative effects of criminalization Health [edit] According to the World Health Organization (WHO), sex workers are considered one of the key populations at risk for HIV infection,[29] and sex workers who inject drugs are at even more risk due to unprotected sex, syringe sharing, alcohol or drug dependence, and violence.[30] Stigma, poverty, and exclusion from legal social services have increased their vulnerability to HIV infection.[29] Health risks and transmission of HIV as well as other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are increased in incidences where condom usage and accessibility is limited or used to identify and criminalize sex workers. Many sex workers are managed by 'gatekeepers' who may be brothel owners, clients, or law enforcement figures, who often dictate condom usage.[31] In Cambodia, a survey showed that 30% of sex workers who refused to put on condoms were sexually coerced. Fear of law enforcement and incarceration also discourages possession of condoms since they provide evidence for officers to prosecute and arrest.[31] Evidence suggests that HIV risk can be sharply reduced when sex workers are able to negotiate safer sex.[11] Decriminalization of sex work decreases the risk of HIV infection by breaking down stigma and increasing access to health services, reducing the risk of HIV/AIDS and STIs.[11] According to a 2020 study, criminalisation of sex work in one district in East Java, compared to neighbouring districts where sex work was not criminalised, increased the rate of sexually transmitted infections among female sex workers by 58%, made their income after leaving sex work lower on average, and their children more likely to begin working to supplement household income rather than go to school (as school expenses were harder to meet).[32] A 2018 study found that the 2003–2009 decriminalization of indoor prostitution in Rhode Island lead to reduced sexually transmitted infections (female gonorrhoea incidence declined by over 40%) and fewer rapes (reported rape offences fell by 30%).[33] A 2017 study found that the introduction of legal prostitution zones in the Netherlands substantially reduced drug-related crime, sexual abuse and rape (the latter two by 30–40% in the first two years)." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support

Reading is delivered by Maria Krishnandita (from the Church of Santo Yakobus Kelapa Gading Jakarta, Indonesia) and meditation delivered by Father Marselinus Tanggu Daga, SDB (Salesian Community of Blitar in East Java, Indonesia). Acts of the Apostles 6: 1-7; Rs psalm 33: 1-2.4-5.18-19; John 6: 16-21. PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL BALANCE The theme for our meditation today is: Physical and Spiritual Balance. The resurrection of Christ is very rich with inspirations that lead us to acquire a meaningful and perfect life. One of the elements of teaching on the resurrection is about our existence and our activities in space and time that sustain physical and spiritual balance of our lives. Our bodies and souls need to be treated equally important because we need an integral growth as human persons with dignity and according to what God actually wants us to be. When someone spends most of the times on spiritual matters, he or she will find himself or herself avoiding opportunities for interaction with other people, working for a living, and engage in cooperation for environmental and social development. On the contrary, if someone spends most of his or her times working, interacting with others, and building businesses, he or she will have only few times for rest, reflection, prayer, renewal of spirit and perspective about life. Likewise when it comes to using the place. When someone gives preference only to a place that is quiet, calm, closed, or separated, he or she will be reluctant to an open or wide space where interaction, communication, and collaboration are normally taken place. Whereas, those who are preoccupied only with places where busy hours, gatherings, meetings, associations, and multy-level connections engaged, they will have difficulty to find place for reflection, personal or intimate relationship and prayer. The work and ministry of the early Church provides us with examples of how the selection of some deacons was intended to attend to physical activities and services in the body of the Church. Meanwhile, the apostles focused on taking care of the spiritual life such as teaching of faith, preaching the Word, and worshiping. The church as the kingdom of God teaches us to share equally the activities or services of physical and spiritual growth in our faith. Jesus Christ himself, in a particular time, used a specific time and place so as to be separated from public activities which, of course, occupied all his attention, work and ministry. He went out to the mountain for His own activity, and then He approached also the apostles so that they should be a separate community that needed to devote time and place only for them in renewing the spiritual aspect of their public ministries. This is a lesson for us to always provide a proportional significance use of time and place for a healthy spiritual and physical growth. Let's pray. In the name of the Father ... Almighty God, strengthen our faith so that in our lives there will always be a balance between physical and spiritual activities in meeting our daily needs. Hail Mary full of grace... In the name of the Father ... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/media-la-porta/message

Hello, and welcome to Season 2 of Kinsei-Do Corner, the functional fitness podcast coming to you directly from Jakarta, Indonesia!

We cover everything from training tips and nutritional strategies to recovery protocols and inspiring stories about personal growth, mindset, overcoming adversity and being the best and healthiest human you can be! =============== In this episode, I sat down with not one but two unbelievable humans, though you'd be forgiven to think they're actually cybernetic organisms, human tissue over metal endoskeleton (say it with a thick Austrian accent for full impact ;)): Coach Lucas from Bengkel Tetuka (3rd time guest!) and Coach Ryan from VPT Gym in Malang. This conversation was extremely wide ranging, from their takes on the health and fitness scene in their respective East Java island cities to the world of online vs in person coaching.

We get more technical in this fourth episode of our series on language. We continue with the gradualist theory of the origins of language by looking at three key areas: the brain, speech production and gestures. We consider whether there are regions of the brain associated with language, whether there is a language gene and how the speech apparatus works. We also consider sign language and gestures and discuss whether these could have been the origins of language in humans and hominids like Homo erectus.  Show notesThe Here and Now Podcast Language SeriesThe human language faculty as an organ.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Indonesia was estimated to have between 55,000 and 100,000 political prisoners as a result of the Army-led anti-communist violence of the mid-1960s. Some of these prisoners maintained long-lasting epistolary friendships with supporters and human rights activists overseas. Who initiated these friendships and how did they evolve over time? What kind of broader support networks for political prisoners emerged out of this letter writing? And what legacy did this activism leave for contemporary human rights campaigners? In this week’s Talking Indonesia podcast, we take a closer look at one of these epistolary friendships. Joining host Dirk Tomsa is historian Dr Vannessa Hearman, a Senior Lecturer in Indonesian Studies at Charles Darwin University in Darwin, and the author of 'Unmarked Graves: Death and Survival in the Anti-Communist Violence in East Java, Indonesia', which was recently awarded the 2020 Early Career Book Prize by the Asian Studies Association of Australia. In 2020, the Talking Indonesia podcast is co-hosted by Dr Dave McRae from the University of Melbourne’s Asia Institute, Dr Jemma Purdey from Monash University, Dr Dirk Tomsa from La Trobe University, and Dr Charlotte Setijadi from the Singapore Management University.

In the wake of these US protests triggered by the murder of George Floyd in May in Minneapolis, a #PapuanLivesMatter discourse has emerged in Indonesia, scrutinising racism against the indigenous populations of Indonesia’s two easternmost provinces, Papua and West Papua, site of a protracted conflict for independence between the Indonesian government and sections of Papuan society. #PapuanLivesMatter itself follows on from the massive, sustained anti-racism protests in Papua in August and September 2019, after Papuan students studying in Surabaya and Malang in East Java found themselves the target of racial abuse in the days leading up to Indonesia’s independence day. To discuss racism towards Papuans, its impacts and drivers, I’m joined today by Ligia Giay, a PhD candidate at the Asia Research Centre at Murdoch University in Perth, and a frequent author on racism against Papuans. She is also part of the team that runs the Voice of Papua newsletter: https://voiceofpapua.substack.com/.

The gripping documentary GRIT recounts the fateful day when Dian, a 6 years old Indonesian girl, heard a deep rumble and turned to see a tsunami of mud barreling towards her village. She remembers her mother scooping her up to save her from the boiling mud. Her neighbors ran for their lives. Sixteen villages, including Dian’s, were wiped away. A decade later, nearly 60,000 people have been displaced from what was once a thriving industrial and residential area in East Java, located just 20 kilometers from Indonesia’s second largest city. Dozens of factories, schools and mosques are submerged 60 feet under a moonscape of cracked mud. The majority of international scientists believe that Lapindo, a multinational company that was drilling for natural gas in 2006, accidentally struck an underground mud volcano and unleashed a violent flow of hot sludge from the earth's depths. Ten years later, despite initial assurances to do so, Lapindo has not provided 80% of its promised reparations to the hundreds of victims of who lost everything in the mud explosion. While the survivors live in the shadow of the mudflow and wait for restitution, they live in makeshift rented homes next to levees that hold back the still flowing mud. Dian is determined to rise out of the muddy life. She and her mother, along with many neighbors, fight against the corporate powers accused of one of the largest environmental disasters in recent history.

This is TRT World’s Daily News Brief for Thursday, August 22nd. *)Sudan’s Hamdok takes office as PM, vows to tackle conflicts Sudan’s new prime minister was sworn in as the leader of a transitional government, and he vowed to prioritise peace and the economic crisis. The appointment of renowned economist Abdalla Hamdok came as General Abdel Fattah al Burhan took oath as the Sovereign Council leader. The army ousted leader Omar al Bashir in April but clashed with protest groups over who will run Sudan until an election after decades of autocratic rule. *)No Rohingya turn up for repatriation to Myanmar A fresh push to repatriate the mostly Muslim Rohingya refugees from refugee camps in Bangladesh to Myanmar did not have a successful start. A Bangladesh official said they had waited since 9:00 am local time, but the five buses and 10 trucks organised were still empty a few hours later. Some 740,000 of the Rohingya minority fled an army offensive in 2017 in Myanmar’s Rakhine state, joining the 200,000 already in Bangladesh. *)Turkey, US agree to launch first phase of Syria safe zone Turkish and US defence chiefs have agreed to launch the first phase of the northeastern Syria safe zone plan from Wednesday. Hulusi Akar and Mark Esper agreed both sides will meet soon to discuss the plan’s progress, Turkey’s Defence Ministry has said. Turkey and the US agreed in August to form a safe zone in northern Syria – a “peace corridor” for displaced Syrians. *)Indonesia blocks internet in Papua to help curb violent protests Indonesia cut off the internet in eastern Papua after protesters torched a building and a prison over the mistreatment of students in East Java. Police flew in 1,200 officers to Papua, where a separatist movement simmered for decades, to quell sometimes violent protests since Monday. The recent anger is linked to racist slurs against Papuan students detained over allegedly disrespecting the Indonesian flag. *)New Zealand’s boss babies And finally, Following Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s footsteps, New Zealand’s parliament speaker fed a baby boy amid a vigorous debate on fuel. Speaker Trevor Mallard, who often helps with baby duties at work, called for order while feeding MP Tamati Coffey’s baby Twotaynekay his bottle. Mallard relaxed laws to make parliament more child-friendly in 2017.

Mel chats with Carla Yeung, Community Engagement Officer, Northern Territory Library. Creative in Residence – Exhibition and Zine Launch: 6 March – 7 April 19 · Cj Fraser-Bell is finishing up her residency with us at the Library. · Cj is a multi-disciplinary NT artist who hosted zine-making workshops last year and created an installation located on the main level of the Library displaying zines and her poetry. She encourages patrons to leave messages using her typewriter which can be added to the installation. · Over the weekend (23 Feb) Cj held performances in the Library where she invited people on an intimate tour exploring the Library as a physical space. · To wrap off Cj’s residency, she will launch her two zines and exhibit a collection of her original illustrations, paintings, poems and collages which she created using the Library’s collection. Schultze and Hoare: the Collector and the Illustrator: 5 February – 24 March 19 · 2019 marks 150 years since Goyder and his team of 138 men first arrived in Darwin to survey the land and establish a capital city in the tropics. · Frederich Schultze was the official botanist and naturalist on the expedition. He spent many months collecting 995 plant specimens, over 600 bird skins and countless shells, fish, corals and small vetebrates. These were all carefully labelled and sent back to the Adelaide Botanic Gardens and Museum. · Schultze knew the natural colours of the specimens he collected would not survive the preservation process. As a result he enlisted the help of the expedition’s assistant surgeon and amateur artist William Webster Hoare, commissioning him to paint watercolours and draw illustrations of the specimens. · Images of Schultze’s plant specimens and Hoare’s watercolour paintings are on display until Sunday 24 March. Book talk - Living with the legacy of violence: Indonesia’s 1965-66 mass violence and its impact today: 13 March 19 · Join ABC Darwin’s Matt Garrick in conversation with CDU lecturer, historian and author Dr. Vannessa Hearman to discuss the anti-communist violence in Indonesia during 1965-66. · Born in Indonesia during the height of the army-led New Order regime, Dr. Hearman migrated to Melbourne with her mum at a young age. · Her research work focuses on south-east Asian history and politics, particularly human rights and transnational activism in Indonesia and East Timor. · Dr Hearman recently published her book Unmarked Graves: Death and Survival in the Anti-Communist Violence in East Java, Indonesia. Delivering a better understanding of Indonesia’s past, this body of work looks into the human cost and impact of violence in Indonesia on people from both sides of the political divide. Exhibitions and events are free but bookings recommended. You can visit our Northern Territory Library website on ntl.nt.gov.au to book or check out what’s coming up on our ‘What’s On’ page.

From Indonesia’s declaration of independence in 1945 up until today, the relationship between Indonesian nationalism, Islam, and modernity has been a key subject of debate. One of the central figures in this debate was the great writer, journalist, public intellectual – and pious Muslim from Minangkabau, West Sumatra, Haji Abdul Malik Karim Amrullah, better known by his pen-name, Hamka. Largely self-taught, Hamka was one of Indonesia’s most prolific writers. Between the 1920s and his death in 1981 he penned novels, short stories, biographies, memoirs, self-help books, travel books, histories, and many studies of Islam, including a famous thirty-volume commentary on the Qur’an. In Hamka's Great Story: A Master Writer’s Vision of Islam for Modern Indonesia (University of Wisconsin Press, 2016), James R. Rush traces the development of Hamka’s thinking as expressed through these works against the backdrop of Indonesia’s tumultuous modern history, including late Dutch colonial rule, the Japanese occupation, the Indonesian revolution, the Sukarno years, and the New Order military dictatorship under Suharto. Since the end of the New Order regime in 1998 some scholars have referred to a "conservative turn" in Islam in Indonesia. Listen to James Rush explain how an appreciation of Hamka and his influence in twentieth century Indonesia can help us better understand what is happening in Indonesian Islam today. Listeners of this episode might also enjoy listening to: Vanessa Hearman, Unmarked Graves: Death and Survival in the Anti-Communist Violence in East Java, Indonesia.Anthony Reid, A History of Southeast Asia: Critical Crossroads Patrick Jory teaches Southeast Asian History in the School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry at the University of Queensland.

This interview is the fourth and and final interview in a short series of podcasts about the mass violence in Indonesia.  Earlier this year I talked with Geoff Robinson, Jess Melvin and Kate McGregor and Annie Pohlman about their works. All of them have written thoughtful, carefully researched and richly detailed analyses of the violence.  Each of them shared a similar interest in the causes and nature of the violence.  While their approaches varied, each attempted to shed new light on events which have been hidden or misrepresented. Vannessa Hearman, in her new book Unmarked Graves: Death and Survival in the Anti-Communist Violence in East Java, Indonesia (NUS Press, 2018), continues this effort.  By focusing on East Java, Hearman looks at the violence from another angle, allowing us to compare how different regions descended into violence.  Reading her book together with Melvin’s offers us a fuller understanding of the relationship between high-level actors and local officials and between center and periphery.  In particular, her analysis of the relationship between the army and non-state actors was eye-opening. But Hearman offers much more than this.  The book, largely based on extensive interviews Hearman conducted over the course of years, recounts the violence on an individual level.  Hearman helps us understand how those who were targeted with murder tried to escape.  She documents the networks of safe houses, couriers and information sources that emerged within days of the violence.  She demonstrates how the Communist Party in East Java tried to understand and respond to the violence, reminding us that, in Indonesia, violence was a process, not an event.  And she shows how the army eventually destroyed the Party’s attempt to create a safe space, using violence that affected not only the communists, but other citizens who lived in the region.  It’s a richly textured, thoroughly researched and ultimately moving portrayal of people trying to understand how their world was falling apart. Kelly McFall is Professor of History and Director of the Honors Program at Newman University. He’s the author of four modules in the Reacting to the Past series, including The Needs of Others: Human Rights, International Organizations and Intervention in Rwanda, 1994.
