Gunman Kills Dutch Priest in Syrian City of Homs
ICC Note: A Dutch priest who had lived in Syria for decades was reportedly assassinated on Monday in a monastery where lived in Homs. The priest had refused to be evacuated from the city despite the conflict that was going on around him. The city of Homs is under control of rebel groups but no one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, reportedly carried out by a single masked gunman.
Are Christians Persecuted in the Middle East?
ICC Note: Are Christians Persecuted in the Middle East? It’s almost an unbelievable question for anyone who looks at the reports emerging from the region. This should not be understood to say that Christians are the only ones suffering. There are numerous causes of suffering and destruction that has affected so many across the region, and that has led to the repression of basic human rights. The Christian community has a role to speak up for their own rights – but also the rights of all in the society.
Christians in Malaysia Request Islamic Authorities Return Confiscated Bibles
ICC Note: In a move that could spark more tension, the Bible Society of Malaysia is appealing to Islamic authorities to return 300 Bibles confiscated in January. The confiscation of the Bible's and the arrest of two members of the Bible Society was an alarming step in a nation that has shown signs of increasing hostility towards its Christian minority. A recent court ruling outlawing the use of the word "Allah" in Malay language Bibles, despite its use for centuries, has been seen by some as emblematic of a shift towards more radical Islamic thought in the country. Malaysia is the only Islamic majority state in the world to ban the use of the word "Allah" by non-Muslims.
20 Supporters of Detained Christian Lawyers Beaten or Arrested
ICC Note: Defending the rights of religious minorities and others in China is often a dangerous career. In March, police in Northeast China arrested several Christian human rights lawyers who were investigating a "black jail." China is increasingly using unofficial "black jails" to hold political prisoners without charge. Outside of the legal system, these jails can indefinitely hold everyone from house church Christians to Falun Gong practitioners to petitioners seeking justice from the federal government in Beijing. Last week, family and supporters of the detained lawyers traveled to Northeast China and were beaten by police for protesting the lawyers detention.
Three Catholic Clergy Kidnapped by Islamic Terrorists in Cameroon
74-year-old Catholic nun and Canadian citizen Gilberte Bussière and two Italian priests, Fathers Gianantonio Allegri and Giampaolo Marta, have been kidnapped by suspected members of radical Islamist front, Boko-Haram of neighboring Nigeria. The second such kidnapping in less than 6 months, the victims were taken during an armed raid of a small, rural Catholic school in Tchéré. ICC joins many members of the international community and global body of Christ, including the Catholic Papacy, in offering up prayers on behalf of the kidnapped and calling for their immediate and unconditional release.
U.S. Holds Hearing on Treatment of Religious Minorities in India
Last Friday, April 4th, the United States' Congress held a hearing on religious freedom and the treatment of religious minorities in India. After listening to testimony from many human rights and Christians groups, the congressional leaders used the hearing to question representatives from India regarding the treatment of religious minorities and India's incoming government. With elections just around the corner, India's BJP party seems set to take over the majority of India's government. BJP is known for its Hindu nationalist stance, which has many inside and outside of India concerned for the future of religious minorities.
Christians in India Call on New Government to Give Greater Attention to Minorities
Christians in India are calling on whoever takes over the new government following India's upcoming elections to pay greater attention to minorities. Christians and other religious minorities continue to suffer in India as the country becomes more and more religiously hostile. Hindu nationalist movements have gained popularity across India, leading to a greater number of attacks on Christians and their places of worship. Will the next government take up toe cause of religious minorities in India? Only time will tell.
Pakistani Christians Protest String of Blasphemy Convictions
Christians in Lahore, Pakistan gathered together and held a peaceful protest against the misuse of the country's controversial blasphemy laws. In Pakistan, committing blasphemy against Islam can carry a punishment as serious as capital punishment. In the past month, three Christians have been convicted under the country's blasphemy laws, all being awarded the death penalty. Many Christians and human rights organizations have pointed out that Pakistan's blasphemy laws are frequently misused and often target Christians. Will the world continue to turn a blind eye?

However, if a permanent settlement on Mars is to be both physically and economically sustainable, eventually settlers will have to grow most, if not all of their food on the Red Planet.

Rage-quitting: Feelings of failure, not violent content, foster aggression in video gamers
The disturbing imagery or violent storylines of videos games like World of Warcraft or Grand Theft Auto are often accused of fostering feelings of aggression in players. But a new study shows hostile behavior is linked to gamers’ experiences of failure and frustration during play—not to a game’s violent content.
Trees go high-tech: Process turns cellulose into energy storage devices
A fundamental chemical discovery should allow tress to soon play a major role in making high-tech energy storage devices. A method has been discovered to turn cellulose -- the most abundant organic polymer on Earth and a key component of trees –- into the building blocks for supercapacitors.
BOSS quasars track the expanding universe: Most precise measurement yet
Scientists have made novel measurements of the structure of the universe when it was only about 3 billion years old, using quasars collected by the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). Results include the most precise measurement of expansion since galaxies formed. BOSS, the largest component of the third Sloan Digital Sky Survey, pioneered the use of quasars to chart universal expansion and the role of dark energy.
Genes increase the stress of social disadvantage for some children
Genes amplify the stress of harsh environments for some children, and magnify the advantage of supportive environments for other children, according to a study that's one of the first to document how genes interacting with social environments affect biomarkers of stress. The study used telomere length as a marker of stress. Found at the ends of chromosomes, telomeres generally shorten with age, and when individuals are exposed to disease and chronic stress, including the stress of living in a disadvantaged environment.

From athletes to couch potatoes: Humans through 6,000 years of farming
Research into the strength and shape of lower limb bones shows that, in the first 6,000 years of farming, our ancestors in Central Europe became less active as their tasks diversified and technology improved. Anthropologists show that this drop in mobility was particularly marked in men.
Permafrost thawing could accelerate global warming
Researchers have found new evidence that permafrost thawing is releasing large quantities of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere via plants, which could accelerate warming trends. Permafrost is soil that is frozen year round and is typically located in polar regions. As the world has gotten slightly warmer, that permafrost is thawing and decomposing, which is producing increased amounts of methane.

Obamacare Era: 50 Worst Months of Employment in Past 25 Years
“In the end, history is not kind to those who would deny Americans their basic economic security. Nobody remembers well those who stand in the way of America’s progress or our people. And that’s what the Affordable Care Act represents.” President Obama, who made that statement last week, has never uttered truer words. Obama’s signature legislation is plainly standing in the way of Americans’ economic security and progress, a fact for which he and his congressional allies won’t be remembered kindly.
