Piece #11: I am very insecure,
I play it off well, nobody really notices because I am outgoing and loud.
But I am very self concious and am scared of failure.
Video game Characters like Lara Croft create unrealistic body images for women. This creates serious body image issue for girls. They feel this pressure to look like those characters, so they will go to any level to try and attain it. Although, these results will never happen because they are impossible. So these girls become very insecure and see themselves as imperfect. This image shows what an insecure woman is thinking. She is obviously extremely skinny but still views herself as fat and imperfect.

We r going to talk about this sticky note. Iv always wanted to go on the roof of some sort of business or school or something like that lol. Itd be so cool, and romantic in the right setting :) Gosh Iv seen too many sappy movies!
Ugh, I hate this picture.. Iv never uploaded a picture of my back and Iv stuck my note to just about everything but I dont like my back. Im pretty insecure about it but I wanted this to be a self project so thats about getting over insecurities, or atleast trying. First step I guess is putting more of what I dont like about myself out there for everyone to see. Lol well anyone who hangs out with me in the summer has already seen but I dont have to see it as well.
Anywho. Toooooodayyyy. Woke up and had a nice morning. Watched Ryan play some Dragon Age. Took Ryans braids out. Napped lol. Watched some TV. He brought me back. Hung out. Now chilling with Robo. It was an overall pretty good day.
GUESS WHAT!! Cmon just guess, you should know what Im going to say. Its the 13th, what does that mean? Ryan and I have been together for 7 months! Over half a year now. I hope hes still as happy with me as I am with him. He still makes my heart race. I love him so much guys. Hes amazing. He makes me feel amazing. He means the absolute world to me. I try so hard to make him happy, and Ill try for the rest of forever if things go the way I really hope they do. They say laughing makes you live longer and a simple smile can change the way you live your everyday life, and with this man I could live an amazing life. And I do, he reminds how beautiful life is. And no matter where life takes me, I hope that I can always remember that. Just thinking about him and everything hes shown me and everything hes done and the things hes told me makes me smile, and Ill hold on to that forever. I spose in the end its these great memories that make life so worth it.
So goodnight guys :)

...on the way to class at UVic, saw flashing lights, heard the sirens, pulled my camera out.
I saw a man lying on the ground, bleeding profusely from the face, a police car was askew on the road, another unit was pulling in at high speed. I had no idea what happened, but I started firing away when suddenly this pig starts yelling at me, so loud that the crew at the adjacent construction site heard the cop yelling at me, while he was ignoring the poor fellow, who, it turns out, had fallen badly during a grand mal seizure.
I bitched the cop out for insulting me, for accusing me of being scum, asking him why he was bitching at me instead of helping the injured man. The rude punk just turned his back on me.
It's funny, how they want and use my photos to help solve crimes and they illegally download my images for their "investigations", but too often they bitch when I shoot in the street, when I am doing nothing wrong. This cop was a Grade-A judgmental power-drunk bully.
Hey, VicPD, fuck off and leave me alone!

Food-insecure participants in the government's Productive Safety Net Program, in Tigray, Ethiopia worked for eight months to construct anti-erosion terraces, build a mini-dam and irrigation canals, harvest rainwater and reclaim gullies that provide fodder for livestock. USAID and local partner organizations contribute technical know-how, materials, and foodstuffs to the safety net program in which participants receive food aid or cash in exchange for labor on these public works that prevent environmental degradation and enable food production.

My Friend, Abby (http://www.flickr.com/people/12821200@N08), tagged me for this little project, and I had it completed, but never released it. Not quite certain about releasing information about myself, I held back from making this public. Now, after having seen some other friends put this out there, I have decided to let it go. Some serious, others not...
1: I am able to find legitimate talent in Britney Spears in addition to thinking she is beautiful.
2: I am insecure about every single facet of my existence except for how to be a good and loving Dad.
3: I played Varsity Tennis in High School and all 4 years of collegiate level tennis in college and can honestly count the number of matches I won on my two hands.
4: I am OK with the fact that I have chosen to never leave Detroit for a better, more profitable or successful career because I do not want to have my Boys grow up without their immediate family.
5: I started reading and collecting comic books when I was in my early thirties.
6: I am able to find legitimate artistic merit and effort in both Robert Mapplethorpe and Joel-Peter Witkin's photography.

The arrival of a UN regional force in South Sudan will enable the UN Mission in the country, UNMISS to free up additional peacekeepers to mount more “patrols along insecure roads,” the head of the Mission, David Shearer has said.
Mr Shearer, who is also the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General in South Sudan was speaking in Juba following the arrival, over the weekend, of the first 120 soldiers of the Rwandan battalion of the Regional Protection Force (RPF).
The RPF was mandated by the UN Security Council with a maximum troop strength of 4000 and will bolster the Mission’s capacity to deter violence and protect civilians in the South Sudanese capital, Juba.
The 15-member Council authorized the force in the wake of the violence in Juba in July 2016.
A Nepalese High Readiness company and over 100 Bangladeshi engineers have already arrived in the Mission area as part of the force.
Mr Shearer said the arrival of these contingents “marks the beginning of the phased deployment of the RPF” in Juba.
Some 600 additional Rwandan peacekeepers will arrive in next few weeks while the “arrival of Ethiopian troops is imminent,” Mr Shearer added.
RPF troops will be based in Juba and will operate if necessary, in surrounding areas.

Todos nos sentimos inseguros alguna vez. No sentimos atrapados entre dos caminos, no sabemos decidir, nos atascamos. Pensamos en cual será el camino correcto, en si debemos seguir y dejarlo antes de caer.

Food insecurity has worsened amid the conflict, leaving hundreds of thousands of children vulnerable to severe acute malnutrition. A portent of the condition’s life-threatening dangers lurks as a child’s mid-upper-arm circumference, an indicator of his nutritional state, measures in the red.

Food insecurity can be a barrier to student success. Check out this Fox 10 News interview with Maricopa Community Colleges Foundation President and CEO Brian Spicker and Dr. Ray Ostos, District Director, Student Affairs, Maricopa Community Colleges, from the Mesa Market at Mesa Community College. Support for these programs, like the grant we received from The Kroger Co. Foundation in partnership with Fry's Food Stores, allow for our students to focus on their education and not their next meal.

12 June 2018, Aldea San Isidro, Guatemala - Rolando Roblero (right), 42, is an active member of ASADIT. He has 4 children and is a native of San Isidro, Tejutla, San Marcos.
He has seen that his economy has grown since he has quadrupled the weekly income since they have as clients the schools. *** FAO project: Strengthening the School Feeding Program in the framework of the Hunger-Free Latin America and the Caribbean Initiative 2025. The efforts of the Parliamentary Front against Hunger, in close collaboration with FAO expertise, to create discussion and policy momentum led to the approval of the School-feeding Law. The Sustainable Healthy School model, based on the FAO-Brazil Regional Cooperation Programme and South-South Cooperation, has increased from five pilot schools to over 400 nationwide, and will extend to 7,000 in its next phase. Key features of the initiative include healthy and culturally sensitive menus, engaged parents and community leaders, improved dining and kitchen infrastructure, pedagogic school gardens, inter-sectorial cooperation, and public purchases from family farming.
Background: Guatemala's chronic child malnutrition rates hover at 46.5 percent for children under 5 years of age (the highest rate in the region and the fifth highest worldwide). In rural and predominantly indigenous communities, chronic child malnutrition is especially high - 53 and 58 percent respectively.
More than an investment in increased food and nutrition security for elementary-level school children, the school-feeding law, approved in September 2017, represents a long-term social protection commitment by the Guatemalan government to this otherwise vulnerable age group. More nutritious and sufficient school meals are helping keep food-insecure children in school and ensure their proper cognitive and physical development, with the healthy school menus using locally-sourced fresh ingredients from family farming. Moreover, the local linkages between schools and family farmers allow for school menus that are conscious of cultural norms and regional dietary preferences. The success of the initiative has resulted in the scaling up the sustainable school model from five pilot schools in San Marcos and another five in Huehuetenango (Western Guatemala) in 2014 to 420 schools in the San Marcos, Huehuetenango, and Chiquimula (Eastern Guatemala) departments in 2017, with complementary efforts to integrate fish foods into school menus currently underway.
