CHAUNG ZON, Mon State — Crafting smoking pipes in Burma has never been a big business, although it has endured through generations. Now the dwindling cottage industry relies on a handful of people in Ywalut village of Chaungzon Township to keep it alive.
As part of Mon State’s Belu Islands, Ywalut is a tourist attraction for its handcrafted pipes and wooden walking sticks, while its neighbor, Mudoon, has made itself a name for producing writing slates (known in Burmese as kyauk thin bone).
A 10-minute ferry trip from Moulmein (Mawlamyine), the capital of Mon State, Chaungzon Township is a collection of more than 70 villages, with a population of 120,000.
There aren’t any cars on Mon State’s Bilu Kyun Island. Locals get around in horse-drawn carts, motorbikes, tuk-tuks or the occasional bus. In fact, until very recently, it was the Bronze Age invention, the horse-drawn vehicle, that was the most common form of transportation for the island’s inhabitants.
Research Interests: Myanmar, Crafting smoking pipes in Burma, Mon State’s Belu Islands, and Special Walking Stick and Wooden Cottage Industry,

Welcome to Vietnam
Astonishingly exotic and utterly compelling, Vietnam is a country of breathtaking natural beauty with a unique heritage, where travel quickly becomes addictive.
Unforgettable experiences are everywhere in Vietnam. There’s the sublime: gazing over a surreal seascape of limestone islands from the deck of a traditional junk in Halong Bay. The ridiculous: taking 10 minutes just to cross the street through a tsunami of motorbikes in Hanoi. The inspirational: exploring the world’s most spectacular cave systems in Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park. The comical: watching a moped loaded with honking pigs weave a wobbly route along a country lane. And the contemplative: witnessing a solitary grave in a cemetery of thousands of war victims.
The Thais may grumble, but in Southeast Asia nothing really comes close: Vietnamese food is that good. Incredibly subtle in its flavours and outstanding in its diversity, Vietnamese cooking is a fascinating draw for travellers myriad street-food tours and cooking schools are testament to this. Geography plays a crucial role, with Chinese flavours influencing the soups of the north, spices sparking up southern cuisine, and herbs and complex techniques typifying
the central coastline, rightly renowned as Vietnam’s epicurean epicentre. And up and down the country you can mingle with villagers, sample local dishes and sip rice wine in Vietnam’s many regional markets.
The document discusses key aspects of Buddhist architecture in India, including pillars (lats), stupas, and cave temples. It describes two main types of lats and provides details on important stupas like the Sanchi Stupa and Stupa at Amaravati.

Finally, some of India's major cave temple sites reflecting Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain traditions are highlighted briefly, including Ajanta, Ellora, and Elephanta Caves.
The document discusses the origins, evolution, and architectural elements of stupas and viharas in ancient India. It provides details on some key early stupas like the Great Stupa at Sanchi and the Dhamekh Stupa at Sarnath. It also describes the rock-cut viharas at Ajanta and Ellora that served as monasteries for Buddhist monks, as well as chaitya halls used for worship that were elaborately decorated with sculptures and paintings.
The Chola temples built between the 9th and 13th centuries reflect the well-developed Chola civilization. The temples are divided into three stages - early, middle, and later Chola periods. The greatest landmarks are the Brihadeeswarar temple constructed by Rajaraja I in Thanjavur in the early 11th century, and the temple in Gangaikonda Cholapuram. The Chola temples played an important economic, social, and cultural role in addition to being religious centers, providing employment, propagating religion and arts, operating granaries and hospitals, and serving as community centers and places of shelter.

REPORT 312 / ASIA 28 AUGUST 2020
Identity Crisis: Ethnicity and Conflict in Myanmar
Ethnicity and conflict are tightly linked in Myanmar, as communal groups take up arms to press grievances for which they have found no other recourse. The problem calls for dialogue and deep reform, but meanwhile authorities can take smaller steps to indicate their positive intent.

DEFENDING TOMORROW
The climate crisis and threats against land and environmental defenders
The climate crisis is arguably the greatest global and existential threat we face. As it escalates, it serves to exacerbate many of the other serious problems in our world today – from economic inequality to racial injustice and the spread of zoonotic diseases.
For years, land and environmental defenders have been the first line of defence against the causes and impacts of climate breakdown. Time after time, they have challenged those companies operating recklessly, rampaging unhampered through forests, skies, wetlands, oceans and biodiversity hotspots.

Myanmar Amber traps scientists in ethical dilemma over funding warMYO AUNG Myanmar
Myanmar is a major producer of amber, a fossilized tree resin. Amber is valued for jewelry, and also serves as a sort of time capsule that provides scientific clues to prehistoric life with fossilized inclusions such as insects, birds and dinosaur footprints.
Meanwhile, the main amber-mining areas in the country are located in an internal conflict zone where an ethnic minority is fighting against the national armed forces, and the amber also comes with problems of human rights violations and smuggling.

THE ASSIATANCE ASSOCIATION FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS (BURMA)MYO AUNG Myanmar
The Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (Burma),
https://aappb.org/background/about-aapp/
The Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (Burma), otherwise known as AAPP, is a human rights organization based in Mae Sot, Thailand and Rangoon, Burma. AAPP advocates for the release of all remaining political prisoners in Burma and for the improvement of their quality of life during and after incarceration. AAPP has developed rehabilitation and assistance programs for those political activists who have been released while continuing to document the ongoing imprisonment of political activists in Burma.
As long as political prisoners exist inside Burma, Burma will not be free. They represent the struggle for democracy, human rights, equality and freedom for the people of Burma. This makes the immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners an integral part of Burma’s drive for national reconciliation.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

CHAUNG ZON, Mon State — Crafting smoking pipes in Burma has never been a big
business, although it has endured through generations. Now the dwindling cottage
industry relies on a handful of people in Ywalut village of Chaungzon Township to keep
it alive.
As part of Mon State’s Belu Islands, Ywalut is a tourist attraction for its handcrafted
pipes and wooden walking sticks, while its neighbor, Mudoon, has made itself a name
for producing writing slates (known in Burmese as kyauk thin bone).
A 10-minute ferry trip from Moulmein (Mawlamyine), the capital of Mon State,
Chaungzon Township is a collection of more than 70 villages, with a population of
120,000.

three Brahminy Ducks, a cultural symbol for ethnic Mon people. Craftsman Mann Ngwe
Win, who has a rich heritage of pipe making, created the sculpture in 2014.
He has been making pipes for four and a half decades, inheriting the business, the 555
Special Walking Stick and Wooden Cottage Industry, from his father and working from
his own two-story home.

The 60-year-old proudly reflects on the legacy of his grandfather, U Nyunt, the first
person in the area to make wooden pipes. Working during the colonial era, U Nyunt’s
innovative approach to the craft earned him an award in Moulmein, says his grandson.
Mann Ngwe Win’s pipes are getting noticed for their quality and distinctive carvings;
depicting portraits of former US President Barack Obama, and Daw Aung San Suu Kyi
to name a few, as well as the legendary ten-headed ogre pipe.
Intricate portraits take at least two days to complete, the old man explains, while a
simple pipe could be finished within hours.
“But it takes 10 days to finish a ten-headed ogre pipe,” he says, showing how to smoke
it. “This is my tenth one. I only start making a new one once I’ve sold the last.”
Meghan Menchhofer, an educator and immigration activist from the US state of Indiana,
who was visiting Mon State with Moulmein-Fort Wayne Sister City International,
examined some carvings in the workshop.
“We like to shop locally and meet the local community,” she says. “We found out this is
one of the local factories, so we came here to support the business and see what type
of things they make – it’s beautiful here.”
The pipes are made from quality ironwood, ideally from the kino (gum) tree or teak,
which is transported from central Burma towns such as Pyinmana.
A few families in Ywalut still make pipes and sell them at national markets, mainly west
in Arakan State or south in Dawei. Some entrepreneurial spirits produce simple pipes,
lower quality than the carved pipes but easier and quicker to make if the orders are
there.
The pipe-making business slumped in the late 20th century because of a lack of raw
materials, says Mann Ngwe Win, and many families moved to Pegu and other areas or
migrated to neighboring countries like Thailand in search of work.
“Even though the logo ‘Made in Ywalut’ is well known, very few people work in this
industry anymore,” he says. “Especially compared to the past.”
Lamenting that these cottage industries never received strong support from the
government, Mann Ngwe Win adds, “We’re all on our own.”
But this has not finished Ywalut’s pipe makers. His eldest son, Aung San Oo, helps him
to make pipes and walking sticks.
“I learned how to make those pipes in my childhood,” says Aung San Oo, while carving.
“I’ve always been interested in it, and picked it up after school.”

He says a simple pipe will take at least three hours to finish. Walking sticks in the
workshop are just as beautiful as the pipes and can be ordered, as can wooden
scabbards, too.

History
Humans lived in the region that is now Myanmar as early as 11,000 years ago, but
the first identifiable civilisation is that of the Mon. The Mon probably began
migrating into the area eastward from eastern India in the period from 3000 BC to
1500 BC and settled in the Chao Phraya River basin of southern Thailand around
the 6th century AD. The Mon moved westward into the Irrawaddy Delta of

In 1947, the Mon sought selfdetermination from the yet unformed Union of
Burma. Burmese Prime Minister U Nu refused, saying that no separate national
rights for the Mon should be contemplated. The Burmese army moved into areas
claimed by the Mon nationalists and imposed rule by force which resulted in a civil
war. Mon separatists formed the Mon Peoples Front, which was later superseded
by the New Mon State Party (NMSP) in 1962. Since 1949, the eastern hills of the
state (as well as portions of Thaninthaya Division) have been under control of the
NMSP and its military arm, the Mon National Liberation Front (MNLF). In addition to
fighting the central government, the MNLF has fought the Karen people over
control of lucrative border crossings into Thailand.
In 1974, partially to assuage Mon separatist demands, the theoretically
autonomous Mon State was created out of portions of Thaninthayi Division and
Bago Division. Resistance continued until 1995, when NMSP and SLORC agreed a
ceasefire. In 1996, the Mon Unity League was founded. SLORC troops continued
to operate in defiance of the agreement. The human rights situation in Mon State
has not improved. International organizations have repeatedly accused the
Myanmar government for massive human rights violations in Mon State, including
forced labor, arbitrary detention, population transfer, property confiscation, and
rape.

Bordering Bago Division in the south of
Sittaung River Mouth, Kayin State in the east,
Thailand and Taninthayi Division in the south and
Andaman Sea and Gulf of Mottama in the West,
Mon state is situated between latitudes 14°52'
north and 17°32 ' north and east longitudes 96°
51' east and 98° 13' east.
Climate and weather
Mon State has a tropical climate. It has temperate
weather as it is located in the low latitude zone and near the sea. The state has
only slight changes in temperature. The average temperature of Mawlamyine in
January is 78 °F (25.6 °C) and in April is 85 °F (29.4 °C). Annual rainfall in
Mawlamyine is 190 inches (4.8 m) and in Thaton is 217 inches (5.5 m). Rain is
especially heavy in July and August.
Economy
Mon State has a cultivated area of nearly 4.5 million acres (18,000 km²), mostly
under rice. The major secondary crop is rubber. Orchards and rubber plantations
are found in the mountainous areas while Coastal fishing and related industries
such as production of dried fish, fish sauce and agaragar are in southern part, Ye
district. Production of Betel nut is also a sustaining business of Mon state, as the
Mon peasants preserved their heredity land onwards along with the government
regulations, however, there are some many parts of uncultivated crude land in the
area closed to neighbour Karen state. Moreover, modern business development
includes growing of cashew trees (acajoύ, in Portuguese), from which they collect
the cashew nut for market elsewhere.
Other industries include paper, sugar, rubber tires. Thaton has a major factory
(Burmese, KaSaLa) of rubber products run by Ministry of Industry (1). Forests
cover approximately half of the area and timber production is one of the major
contributors to the economy. Minerals extracted from the area include salt,
antimony, and granite. Natural resources such as

Health care
The general state of health care in Myanmar is poor. The military government
spends anywhere from 0.5% to 3% of the country's GDP on health care,
consistently ranking among the lowest in the world.[4][5] Although health care is
nominally free, in reality, patients have to pay for medicine and treatment, even in
public clinics and hospitals. Public hospitals lack many of the basic facilities and
equipment. The following is a summary of the public health system in the state, in

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bilu Island (Burmese: ဘီလူးကျွန်း;
Bilu Kyun, lit. "ogre island") is an
island in Chaungzon Township,
Mon State, located west of
Mawlamyine.[1] The island is
roughly the size of Singapore, and
inhabited by 200,000 people.[1][2]
On 8 February 2015, the Mon
State government began a
construction project to build a
1,586 metres (5,203 ft) bridge,
the Bilu IslandThanlwin Bridge, to
connect Mawlamyine's Mupun
jetty to Bilu Island's Kanyaw
village, the first to be
constructed.[3][4] The project,
which is estimated to cost
US$60 million, will be constructed
by a JapanBurma joint venture.[4]
Bilu Island is not connected to the
national electricity grid.[4] The
people in this island depend on
some interesting home industries
such as black boards for schools,
rubber bands, cane products,
wooden pipes, pencils, pens and
tobacco.

While it may be impossible to prove that ogres
once existed on Bilu Kyun island, there certainly
aren't any there today.
At least, not that the Mon natives living there can tell. The villages that
dot the island are home to expert craftsmen now, and their ability to
transform raw goods into daily necessities is well worth a visit. In
modern times, these cottage workshops also produce more
recognizable items such as pens and rubber bands (sourced from
nearby plantations).
One particular village, Ywa Loot, is not to be missed as its craftsmen
specialize in creating handmade smoking pipes that are valued across
the country for their quality. Some Burmese have even been known to
eschew imported Western pipes in favour of this local product.
Check ahead with guide services on whether the workshops will be
open, as many only open their doors when there is local demand.
Getting to Bilu Kyun is easiest through Mawlamyine, the capital of the
Mon state and a major sea port. From there, it is a short boat ride to
the island.

Bilu Kyun Island in Mon State: a
transport time warp
By Maria Danmark | Monday, 25 March 2013
There aren’t any cars on Mon State’s Bilu Kyun Island. Locals get
around in horsedrawn carts, motorbikes, tuktuks or the
occasional bus. In fact, until very recently, it was the Bronze Age
invention, the horsedrawn vehicle, that was the most common
form of transportation for the island’s 200,000 inhabitants.
One of Bilu Kyun Island's pony and carts. (Maria Danmark/The Myanmar Times)
According to Lonely Planet Myanmar (2011) “on the island, all local transport
is by horse and cart, though the more distant villages can be linked by one of
the few rattling buses.”
According to Mr Anthony, a guide based in Mawlamyine, motorbikes and tuk
tuks began to appear on the island two years ago. In that short space of time, it
is these latter types of vehicles that now greet passengers disembarking the
ferry at the village of NutMaw. The pony carts are all but disappearing, Mr
