This pain of mine,
I hide inside,
Occasionally leaks out.
It hurts so bad,
You could never know,
The extent.
These children of mine,
Hold me here,
This is the only thing.
All my friends,
Talk to much,
I wish they'd go away.
I have no one here,
To trust,
Sometimes not even myself.

This M.I.C.E. insecurity patrol Unit is currently retired. M.I.C.E. stands for Metropolitan Insecurity Corporate Enforcement. The term "insecurity" is comprised of two words and is short for "investigative-security". This unit took a beating due to unauthorized chases, and insecurity officers doing donuts and street racing the company car. This car is a Ford Crown Victoria.
Malnutrition knows no boundaries in the Sahel region, where families on both sides of the border between Mauritania and Senegal are faced with severe food insecurity and high malnutrition.

A touch of love, a sign at least, a sense of insecurity, a need to confirm, again, again, or just enjoy?
A: Michael Danomen
Neurotic and cowardly, Michael is a homebody, unmotivated and insecure. He's uncomfortable with his weight and hides behind bulky clothes, and he's shy and socially stunted—but underneath it all, he's a sweet, decent guy.
B: Rose Alma
Skylar's sister, Rose is immature, inappropriate, but endlessly creative. She has little care for the opinions of others and is often the odd one out, doodling on her bedroom walls and her brother's shoes, walking around in her underwear, and exhibiting a petrifying fear of standing water.
C: Hal Davidson
He's hiding behind Rose, so see a better view of him here. Hal is a friendly, funny guy and a genius with all things technological—but for some reason, life never goes quite right for him.
D: Eliza Meno
Eliza is a brilliant computer hacker but that's about all the brilliance she has: she's completely off her rocker. She eats dinner in her swimsuit and talks to herself, avoids strangers and the outdoors, and has awesome hair.
E: Sai Sadahiro
Sai's world revolves around books: she's an avid reader and is hard at work on her first novel, and won't rest until every word is perfect. Her dedication to her craft keeps her at a distance from—and grants her little patience with—her fellow boarders.
F: Annie Lennox
An emancipated minor, Annie is trying to look after herself while still attending high school. She's thoughtful and hardworking but she hides a short temper below her cheerful, pop culture-obsessed exterior.
G: Sarah Silverman
Manson's high school sweetheart, the two of them are dating and living together for the first time—but time and money constraints make life difficult. Sarah is a happy goth with a great sense of humor, and she's a budding artist—but her real dream is to start a family ... a dream which may surprise Manson.
H: Colette Siloden
Colette has been running a boarding house for a long time, but the place has never been this full before and now it's all that she can do to keep up. A little frigid and frugal but decent at heart, Colette is remains an enigma to her many boarders.
I: Matson Reed
You should remember her from Nika's household. Socially ambitious and not-so-secretly evil, Matson has her eyes set on quite a few men in Sunset Valley. She's outgoing, friendly, but more than willing to take advantage of others. Manson is her half-brother, and the two of them are close friends.
J: Manson Moore
You should remember him from Nika's household, too. Manson had a troubled childhood and though things have turned around for him now, he remains introverted and a bit cowardly. He's desperately in love with Sarah—a passion only exceeded by his lifetime affair with music. He's just beginning a career in the arts, and hopes to compose music some day.
K: Skylar Alma
Rose's brother, and the two of them share a room. They bicker as siblings will, but Rose and Skylar are the only two people who really understand each other. As odd as his sister, Skylar is holds the rest of the world at a distance; he's rude, irresponsible, and finds most people exceptionally dull—and bores them in turn.
H G V, loaded with bails of hay. Rear left corner had moved about 2 to 3 feet from upright. The sheet that covered to load had torn over halfway across the load.. The remaining part of the sheet that was not torn was keeping the load on the trailor. Police were called.
Amanda Bynes plastic surgery was a nose job, which she had to relieve her of her insecurities, as she was born with slight webbing between her eyes and had that removed.
Sometimes...I hate my nose, lips, eyes, legs.... my whole body actually.
But then I remember, those are the things that make me, me. I remember, I'm alive.. and that's more than enough for me.
This is the guy that screwed my camera, which cost me $352 bucks to fix, after I certified I was in compliance, and didn't record Disney's precious preview footage, he verified that and then continued to mess with the camera which I told him did not like to be wound and rewound, which he proceeded to do several times. The tape wound about the capstan and was ruined and the camera had to be sent to the national repair center, because he twisted it up so tightly that the local Sony repair couldn't release it. Of the six minutes of footage inside the train, he was the only one ever to see it. Fucker. Off duty cop too, tried to confiscate my equipment, No. Then tried to confiscate my tapes, Under What Due Process says I? Private concerns ruining roughshod trampling the Constitution on public property to someone who had done nothing wrong. Undercovers followed me all day, Private Disney Security no doubt.
I wouldn't have to be so paranoid if they weren't out to get me.
For those photographers among us without an ACLU councilor in their pocket, read, print, and keep The Photographer’s Right by Bert P. Krages II, Attorney at Law, in their pocket.

I'm going to share mine with you, kay? Or at least some.
- I'm scared of making promises and telling people I'll do things because I don't trust myself to keep to my word.
- I have a really odd fear of balloons and anything that makes a loud, sudden noise. They call it ligyrophobia, supposedly, but I'm not sure if it's bad enough to be called a phobia. My fear of balloons can be for sure called a phobia, ha.
- I'm scared that my gag-reflex will keep me from being a nurse. Unfortunately, any not okay smell sets me off gagging. It's extremely annoying.
- I'm scared that my education won't be considered legit because I'm home schooled.
- I fear I'll never be nurturing and attentive enough to fit the needs of the ones I love.
- I greatly desire a dslr, but I'm worried I would allow the camera and good quality speak for my photos, not the soul and creativity.
- I'm terrified of driving.
- I have a fear of being wrong, so, I keep to myself and let people argue among themselves.
So there we go! Saxony Marie is flawed to the core (; There are tons more! I just can't think of them all.
And you know, I don't care. I still try, ha. Some of those things I'm just going to have to get over. So, yeah. I will. Everything has a season (:

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.

This morning my morning walk seems to be stunted because of my neighbor's dog. I didn't dare to walk. I'm afraid it might jump over the fence. It barks loudly at me. I gave up. My ruined Sunday morning walk. I wish to move to a neighborhood where there are no dogs. It scares me.
The description on the back of the picture reads - "The struggle of a young girl trying to fit in"
This was painted by an 11 year old girl as part of an art project another timebank worked on. I don't really know the context of the project, I was just asked to photograph the pictures. All the others were visualisations of the kids' feelings or things they liked. This was the one that stood out a mile -- Really really sad.
I have a sort of hate-hate relationship with my legs...
I was born with very stereotypically Japanese legs (short, thick daikon-ashi) and a very stereotypically American weight (er, heavy). Factor in my inability to tan and we have a very unattractive set of legs.
That said, I had my feet propped up on my desk (I'm alone right now) and noticed that the lighting was casting pretty shadows over my legs. So of course, I whipped out my camera and took a few shots (I also have a b/w shot that might be better than this one...maybe). So here they are, in all of their pasty, daikon glory, not looking too bad at all.

Ambassador Tony Hall, executive director of the Alliance to End Hunger recently traveled to the world’s largest refugee camp, Dadaab, on the Kenya-Somalia border. The Horn of Africa is experiencing the region’s worst drought in sixty years and more than 450,000 have trekked for days and weeks across the desert seeking food, water, shelter, and safety in Dabaab.

Frizzy hair, sweaty cotton blends, insecurity and copyright infringement. All in one day. I'd explain in more detail, but I can barely keep my eyes open.

I had a roll of found 35mm Anscochrome 100 film that expired in 1969, so I tried developing it in cold E6 chems. It actually came out really well!
After being color corrected in Photoshop.
Most of the roll were pictures of this same guy. I assume he was working on self portraiture.

For God's sake, I just want to feel beautiful for once.
No matter how many compliments I get I still feel so insecure all the time. I don't even remember the last time I felt completely comfortable and beautiful.

The Inter-Communal Dialogue and Conflict Mediation project in Jos started in January 2013. From January to July 2013, HD has held consultative meetings with five community groups namely the Afizere, Anaguta, Berom, Hausa and Fulani; Religious leaders; Federal and State Government and women and youth groups on the proposed project, as well as sought buy in for the proposed process.
The project, supported by the Canadian Government, has been geared towards achieving an agreement between the communities to end the dispute in Jos, and foster inter-communal co-operation leading to fewer incidents of violence. The Inter-communal dialogue and conflict mediation process itself, ‘The Jos Forum’, was launched in August 2013, with a formal opening ceremony attended by numerous members of the five communities, Federal and State Government officials, Religious leaders, women and youth groups, as well as civil society representatives.
HD successfully hosted seven dialogue sessions on various issues, including interim sessions to deal with the emerging tensions in Jos countryside.

7 October 2015. Gudele: Sugi Eleuda, mother of two children, waters green beans during a training session on agriculture in a center run by the NGO Daughters of Mary Immaculate in Gudele, Central Equatoria, which gives training to more than 6,000 farmers in the area. Sugi Eleuda, as many farmers in the region, is struggling to cultivate food in her land due to the scarcity of water in the present rainy season. It's expected that the harvest is going to be much smaller than previous years and is going to deteriorate the present food insecurity in the country. According tothe latest IPC (Integrated Food Security Phase Classification), published in May 2015, from 2.5 million to 4.6 million people are classified severely food insecure in South Sudan, and it's expected that the number will increase drastically in the coming months. It's expected the new analysis of the IPC will be published in the coming days.

Hector Poole, a sensitive, insecure bank clerk, gains telepathic powers after tossing a coin that miraculously stands on its edge. He discovers that he is able to "hear" other people's thoughts, and is surprised to hear the things people are thinking around him.
He first "hears" his boss thinking about a weekend affair he is planning with his mistress. Then a businessman, Mr. Sykes, thinks about taking out a large loan to pay for a run at the horse track to win back money he has embezzled from his company. Hector informs his boss, Mr. Bagby, and thwarts the businessman's plans. Hector also "hears" the thoughts of Miss Turner, a co-worker who admires him from afar and wishes he would be more assertive, and decides to take her into his confidence and reveals his psychic abilities to her.
Shortly afterwards, Hector hears an old, trusted employee, Mr. Smithers, apparently planning to steal cash from the bank, and alerts Mr. Bagby. When Smithers proves to be innocent of the plan, he admits having fantasized for years about stealing money from the bank but would never go through with such a plan because he is too much a coward. Mr. Bagby fires Hector, but reinstates him when he discovers that Mr. Sykes has been arrested for gambling with company money. With Miss Turner's telepathic encouragement, Hector makes the case to Mr. Bagby that he deserves to be accounts manager, but when the bank manager resists reason, Hector uses his knowledge of his boss's adultery to blackmail him into granting the promotion and into giving Mr. Smithers a long-overdue vacation.
After work, as Hector returns home with Miss Turner, he inadvertently knocks the standing coin over. His mind-reading ability is gone, but he is a man changed for the better.
Y ha llegado tal punto que ya no sé qué veo, que no sé lo que quiero, que no sé lo que siento.

A great number of people have recently arrived in Nyal payam, coming in the last weeks for fear of their safety amidst insecurity, despite a recently-signed peace accord.
At least 78,000 people displaced in Koch, Leer, and Mayiandit counties have arrived in Panyijiar County of Unity State as a result of continued fighting, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said.
According to the agency, insecurity and lack of access to vital supplies to South Sudanese was making it hard for humanitarian actors to deliver the necessary assistance to the most affected groups of displaced persons in parts of the country.
Fighting resumed last month despite a signed peace accord between the South Sudan government and the armed opposition forces led by the country's former vice president, Riek Machar.
Over the past month, insecurity and lack of access to vital supplies have continued to force South Sudanese to flee in search of safety, assistance, and protection, said OCHA.
In August, the report says, there was increased displacement of people due to fighting in and around Koch, Leer, and Mayiandit counties in Unity State and Wau Shilluk in Upper Nile.
As offensives continue between forces loyal to both factions in the south of Unity State, 18,000 people reportedly reached Nyal payam in Panyijiar in search of food and safety last week. This was in addition to the numbers who had fled there prior.
The World Food Programme (WFP) is providing food and nutrition assistance to the area; UNICEF is also present on the ground to treat severe acute malnutrition and to help with other various needs, including childhood education.
I let jealousy and insecurity eat away at my insides for too many years. I was always worried about the unknown. I stressed for things that had already happened, things that could possibly happen, but had not happened yet. I wasn't confident in who I am, or what I have to offer as a person. But my goodness, have things changed. This past year really has been the most incredible journey of self discovery that I have absolutely loved being a part of. Bringing to my awareness so many things I would not have otherwise known, had I not gone down the path I did. I feel so much lighter, so much more grateful, so much more positive and mentally stronger than I have ever been before. I can do this. I will do this. 🌿✨
Humanity has never been as rich, as prosperous, as healthy, as connected, as educated or as safe as today.
Yet humans have never felt poorer, more disconnected, more yearning, more fearful, more dependant, more restricted, more insecure, more alone or less important as today.

Triptych #3 based on insecurities.
"Just because you’re good at something, doesn’t mean you’re meant to do it. For most of my life, photography has been my outlet. I express my feelings with pictures because it is what I am comfortable with. Photographs can often be vague and do not entirely show the deeper meaning. No matter the content of the image, you will never know the full story. This is why I’m not afraid to showcase myself visually. But lately, I no longer feel safe and secure with photographs because the passion and drive that was once present is lacking. Unfortunately, my true passion is hidden because I am not yet able to have it on display, often not even to myself. I’m beginning to use words to replace my photographs, but this newly discovered passion terrifies me. I cannot lie with my words. I cannot use bright lights and flashy colours to conceal my emotions or distract viewers from the truth. My heart and soul is poured into my writing and there is nowhere left for me to hide. There are many instances where I am too afraid to even write at all because the thought of confronting my raw emotions is too much for me to handle. As my pen hits the paper, I have no idea where my thoughts will end up or what the final result will be. I sometimes reveal to myself things I did not know existed inside of me. I have not yet allowed myself to become comfortable with this other side of myself, and I don’t know if I’m ready to peel away any other unknown layers."
This poem was written for a friend, someone who requested me to write it for them.. a poem about being in love and the insecurities with it.
Insecure
I wish you knew how I felt right now,
Listen to my heart, it's beating so fast,
Hiding the pain for so long, now I can't stand,
It's weeping endlessly in dark shades,
I wish you could hear me out baby,
It's a rainy morning in London,
I am thinking about you all along,
I wish I could hold your hands,
And close my eyes,
Saying to myself, 'It's all gona be fine'
I assure myself repeatedly,
But tell me o'beloved am I sane?
I fear I have turned manic,
You ask me why?
It's your love, sweet heart,
I am drowned immensely in pain,
But there is joy in this pain,
For I seest my beloved everywhere,
I am so insecure, cries my heart,
Why does it feel, your going to leave me,
The fear of losing someone horrifies me,
I feel so speechless, so misunderstood,
Frustrated, hurt, saddened by those mean words,
Can you stop hurting me for once?
Coz I can't take it no more,
I am in love with you,
But you fail to see that,
I don't want to lose my beloved
Coz of another,
I am an insecure soul,
Now I fear losing you,
For I am in love,
Rumi, they say love is pure,
But I feel that is a lie,
For every beloved says they love
But only a few can practice that.

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.

Where are you from if your homeland isn’t on the map? Nigerian author and journalist Mohammed Umar, German Sadulaev, the Russian author of I am a Chechen and the Nagalese author Easterine Kire Iralu talk about the pressures of writing about places that don’t exist. Are stateless authors doubly oppressed – both politically and culturally? Or can this uncertain identity liberate writers to create a more personal literature, unconstrained by traditions or expectations? Chaired by writer and prize-winning translator Daniel Hahn.

Korioume, Tombouctou, Mali (25 October 2017) - Women groups from communities in Korioume, 15 km away from Tombouctou, receive tools to help them start cultivating their land again. With the Humanitarian Response Plan significantly underfunded, only the most vulnerable groups have received aid so far. More is needed with thousands in the region relying on seasonal agriculture near the Niger river to survive. Food insecurity has increased significantly in Mali over the past months. One person out of five is food insecure in Mali today.

Food and nutrition insecurity and limited decent employment opportunities represent serious challenges in Indonesia’s Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) province, home to some of the nation’s most isolated and vulnerable communities. NTT has over 4.5 million people. Approximately 80 per cent of its population is rural, and 65 per cent of its population lives below the national poverty line.
The selection of the three value chains – maize, livestock, and seaweed – as a focus of the programme was based on assessments carried out during the initial phase of the programme, taking into consideration the employment, income generation and productivity potential, as well as their impact on food security. The assessments included consultations and focus group discussions with local stakeholder and local and national governments.
For further information about the ILO's food security and rural development programme in NTT, please visit: www.ilo.org/jakarta/whatwedo/projects/WCMS_308006/lang--e...
