Environmental insecurity is a very relevant topic nowadays. It involves everyone, because everyone, more or less consciously, contributes to the unrestrained and continuous consumption of the resources of the planet and to the damaging of the ecosystem. Nature offers us resources from which we obtain the energy needed to sustain all human activities. Such activities produce waste and pollution. To sustain its energy needs, Italy depends for 85% on foreign import. For this reason, the chance of introducing nuclear power is being discussed. According to previsions made by the Government, the production of nuclear power should allow Italy to be completely autonomous concerning energy import. The development of this new energy sector has required the definition of a new complex system which will involve various agencies, companies and people related to different fields of knowledge. The process will, of course, also involve and affect the citizen. This situation implies doubts related to the clarity of the system and the benefits of nuclear energy.

Hey guys so this is part 2 to my new Flickr(probably soon to be on youtube)series "Scars" starring the one and only "Heidi Bominable" & I hope you like it!:D
WARNING:This chapter/part is pretty longer than the first one,so I hope your up for a lot of reading!;)
~divaray522
This is the story of a girl named Heidi Bominable & her freaky flaw is insecurity about her and her sexuality of being bisexual.
PAST:
When Heidi was a young little yeti she didn't always get what she wanted,times was hard for this ghoul during her past & childhood.Heidi's parents were poor and unable to give Heidi the care & support every parent would give to their child.She also happen to have grown up with Abbey Bominable and was always jealous of her and her life.Heidi would always blame Abbey for everything that has happened to her,since she had a better life that Heidi always wanted.Years later when Heidi was 10 years old,her and her family moved away from the Himalayas to Salem,Oregon for a better life than they had before.One day Heidi was asked to become a young model for a modeling agency,this was an opportunity of a lifetime for both Heidi and her family so she took it.As time went on Heidi and her family were becoming richer and richer,because of her modeling and they were able to buy better clothes,food,shelter, and all the things Heidi couldn't have when she was younger.Life had officially finally got better for Heidi Bominable.
After years of modeling,Heidi was finally able to afford and attend school at Monster High.When she arrived to Monster High she hoped to have start a new chapter of her life fresh,new,and out of the box,but then all of the sudden she had later found out that Abbey Bominable goes to Monster High too,which caused the past to blow up right back in her face again.Heidi wanted Abbey out of her life and gone for good,since she thinks that she would be in the way of her success.So Heidi would always stalk Abbey day and night to try and scare her away from town,she would even try to manipulate and use her friends against her,& she even at one point tried to murder the lovable yeti.Sadly none of that worked or got her what she wanted,but instead it got her what she never wanted negative attention from her peers.
Heidi never wanted to be known as the bad guy or the neglected reject,she wanted to be loves,admired,adored, and the center of attention.Everyone would ignore Heidi and tell her that "she's always up to no good","You'll never be like Abbey",& that "Nobody likes You!".All of this had made Heidi so upset,that it caused her to hang with Toralei & the Werecat twins(who were always into trouble).She was known to be one of them until she befriended a girl named Erica(known as the cousin of Monster High's heartbreaker Valentine) who changed her and her world and is now her best friend and secret crush.When Heidi became friends with Erica,she did everything with her and even shared secrets with her about her life.Later on during their friendship,Heidi began to adapt different feelings for Erica and saw her to be more than justa friend,but a girlfriend and that's when Heidi then realized that she was bisexual.Erica has caused Heidi to change from head to toe,she made her forget about the past and move on to the future.This change made her forget about everything she was ever insecure about,such as her past life all except for her sexuality and major crush on Erica.
PRESENT:
Now whenever Heidi haunts the halls of MH,she feels insecure and afraid to have the courage to tell Erica how she really feels about her.She's also afraid of the secret of her sexuality being told around the school,by none other than Spectra Vondergiest the queen of stories & gossip.Why just last week she told everyone about Rochelle & her Scarisian boyfriend Garrot having a one night stand in Scaris and the fact that she could possibly be expecting.Now everyone in school calls her a scarisian whore,slut,& cunt which ruined her reputation as the non-rule breaking hall monitor of monster high to now the gargoyle who sleeps around in Scaris.Heidi hopes to not have her reputation go downhill like it did before.
Part 3 will be "Abandoned" starring Count Samantha!
Well I hoped you all enjoyed part 2 and to all Rochelle fans trust me I have nothing against her(she's lovely)all those things that were said about her in the story aren't true,I just needed a victim of Spectra so I used her.Erica is actually one of my customs who are a work in progress(so she really won't be shown in any pics just mentioned in the story).Oh and this whole story is PG due to use of some mild language(like the ones I used in this chapter).Anywho again I hope u enjoyed part 2 and sorry for it being too long I got creative while writing this!:D
With this picture I start a new series called Story of my life. I want to document different events, feelings etc. of my life, because I always enjoy looking back at my pictures to see how I changed and what happened so far. So with these pictures I try to tell a story or show something which is important to me. I will write little texts down here to make sure I will remember what this picture was all about. Here we go:
We all have insecurities. If it's the way we look or situations that we aren't used to. In the last few weeks I had to step out of my comfort zone to find a job next to my study. (You have to know that I've never had a real job before, so that was pretty exciting for me.) I now got a job at a gas station not far from home.
Moreover, it's a current struggle for me to keep everything together as I try to get back in track with photograph, as well as change my nutrition and sports routine. In addition to that there is my study, the job, the household, my relationship, friends and so on. But we have to accept changes and make the best out of it. Even if they scare us, they make us to a better and stronger version of ourselves.
I used textures from Pareeerica.
And I used a texture called Vintage Tinted Lense, by SkeletalMess (which I can't find anymore, so it's not linked).
Never insecure until I met you
Now I'm bein' stupid..
I used to be so cute to me
Just a little bit skinny
Why do I look to all these things ?
To keep you happy
Maybe get rid of you
And then I'll get back to me ;
My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Everytime I think I'm through
It's because of you
I've tried different ways
But it's all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame...
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
You can fix your nose if he says so
You can buy all the make up
That M.A.C. can make
But if you can't look inside you
Find out who am I too
Be in the position to make me feel
So damn unpretty
I'll make you feel unpretty too....

for TOTW "insecurities" and WTL " fears"
I used to be very afraid of death, of the unknown. the possibility that
there is more after this life, and the wonderment of things like
heaven and hell , even reincarnation.
However i am no longer afraid of death. it is simply a part of this life
and i have no worries about it anymore. I know i dont want to die
an old man. and i dont want to die in my sleep.
as strange as this sounds, i dont want a peaceful death.
i want to die the same way i lived, fighting .
The one thing that does make me full of fear is being forgotten.
i used to hope if i became a famous musician, or celebrity of some
kind, then i would live on thru that.
I want to be remembered. I want to be missed.
I want the things i have done and said to have such an impact that
hundreds of years passing ,cant wash it away.
I have insecurities about my body, like most women I have encountered. Though I have realized I never seem to share them when other girls share with me their deepest insecurities. This feels unfair. So here is it. The bump on my nose and the stretch marks on my tush plus the hair on my toes are all things I try to forget about or cover up.
I can't say they torment me day and night, because they don't, but I realized today that none of them star in my photographs. And they still don't. The photos above display parts of my body I am proud of, the arts I find beautiful.
My neck, back and spine hold my strength and confidence, my posture. My stomach, which has always been toned, the belly button I adore and my sweet spot when caressed. My arms, the only tools I need to make my dreams come true. And my birthmark. The dark mark near my elbow that identifies me as me.
I hope someday I can love all my insecurities as much as I love my strong points.

I just ooze self-esteem, don't I?
I've been feeling kind of down lately, but I chose a time when I felt more secure with myself and my body to do this. Plus, this (by Devon Omundsen) served for really great inspiration.
It was really hard to do this as I shut myself in a tiny bathroom. I didn't have enough room to move and my camera (which is really, really bad) was balanced precariously on the trashcan and kept spinning around (UGH!). I actually had to crop out the sink and the door as they showed up in the picture, ha. And the ridiculous crease took forever to make less obvious and it's still there! Plus, the eyeliner was ridiculously hard to remove.
Despite this, I'm really proud of this picture. I have no photoshop so I combined the pictures solely on paint and used picnik briefly. Ha.
I guess it's another part in my fairytales series--it's the Queen's mirror gone wrong. Either that, or it's something different completely.
Thank you so much to Abby who helped me edit this. It's great. I'm really insecure about the way I look in it-I'm not attractive at all... but I guess that also wasn't the point, lol. I'm not supposed to be attractive in it.
Hmm... sorry for the ridiculous ramble. Much love to all.
This may be replaced with another version.
Week 41 out of 52 Weeks for Dogs for my Benni
With five males dogs currently in the house, Bubba and Benni are more insecure than ever. Benni is great with people but has always been insecure around dogs, especially energetic dogs. Bubba is just insecure in general. He's always been skittish and that's only gotten worse since Clay arrived with all his anxiety in tow. We also have Jett, our sweet foster boy in the mix.
With all the dog commotion going on, it's nice to see that Benni and Bubba still enjoy their "togetherness".
In the last decades the Italian families' life has been characterized by radical and deep changes which have modified the contemporary society where to the increase of the family's units corresponds a different structural system. First of all births' decrease and consequently less families with many children, the increase of the number of couples with no children, the more marked choice of the children to live alone or with their life-companion, the scarce tendency to marriages and the rise in the divorce rate are the reasons of such a situation.
To understand the importance of this matter several aspects must be considered: infancy, adolescence, youth, adult and old age have progressively expanded. Compared to the past the experience of the generations today presents very different characteristics as to the role of a child, parent and life-companion or single in the different stages of their existence.
In the last decades the prolonged permanence of the grown-up children inside the family has been favoured by the extension of the education processing and by relationships between the generations more supportive and less hierarchic. More recently you add also the difficulty to find a job or make it stable and to find a house at an affordable price. In the last years the difficulties to reconcile job with family and the requirements of the new life style have brought the couples to squeeze the time dedicated to the family.
The social worry of the families is more evident when you consider that in our Country the welfare model is still based on the availability of the family and in particular of the women to support those in need of help. A situation where the public social services can hardly answer the growing needs of the families with children can condition the mothers very much in their job opportunities or choice to give birth to a child. In this context family policy is weak or absent, to have a family becomes the most significative factor to enter poverty because of the iniquity of the tax treatment, scarce opportunities to reconcile family with job, scarce communication of the social legislation. In Italy those who marry and have children are damaged.

Ali Addeh refugee camp, Djibouti. The priority of EU humanitarian aid in Djibouti is to provide life-saving assistance to refugees and look for durable solutions to their plight.
Djibouti hosts over 18 000 long-term refugees and asylum seekers mainly from Somalia whose basic needs such as shelter, water and protection need to be catered for.
Since the start of the Yemen crisis in March 2015, close to 80 000 people have fled to countries in the Horn of Africa including nearly 40 000 to Djibouti. This new influx is putting pressure on the country’s limited natural resources and services.
Djibouti imports 95% of its food. The number of people at risk of hunger has increased since the 2011 drought, accelerating the rural exodus to urban areas. A combination of high food prices, water scarcity, climate change and reduced pasture has increased food insecurity. This year’s El Niño has led to even dryer weather.
Humanitarian funding from the European Commission provides refugees with access to clean water and sanitation as well as shelter, protection, nutrition and health care. Food assistance is given in the form of cash transfers as a way of promoting refugees’ self-reliance. ©European Union/ECHO
The humanitarian situation in Sudan is considered a ‘forgotten crisis’ by the European Commission. It is the scene of a protracted crisis far from the media spotlight. Emergency-levels of malnutrition persist across the country. An estimated 2 million children suffer from acute malnutrition while 4.6 million people face serious food insecurity. In 2016, 1.2 million people have been affected by El Niño induced drought as well as floods. With more than 350 000 mostly Eritrean and South Sudanese refugees on its soil, Sudan is also among the top five host countries of refugees in Africa. In 2016, the European Commission allocated €56 million for life-saving assistance to its partners in Sudan. There is a need to step up humanitarian assistance, but aid organisations operate in a difficult and constrained environment. Copyright: EU/ECHO/Anouk Delafortrie

I can promise you, I will never be secure. No one will ever be able to look at me and see nails all the way through. There is always something floating, always something misplaced. I do not know what to call this other than awareness. Awareness is not seeing all the way through but seeing where you stop and something else carries on; it is to be in a relation with that which goes on past yourself.

Each one of us requires the 'spur of insecurity' to force us to do our best...
Quite true. Our 'best', which we often neglect and forget to put forth - be it a relation or a vision or a cherished dream. So long as we reconcile and encash it, that spur must be a part of our lives.
I clicked this picture in Kusumpur - for a project called 'Apertures of Hope". I am not sure if I finally sent this picture in the final pack - needless to say - I cherish it beyond obviosity.

They are helping people rid themselves of insecurity on the spot. They give you a pad of paper and a pen.
You write down any insecurity that is burdening you.

When feeling insecure, little elephants use their trunk like a pacifier.
Essen Central Station (Hauptbahnhof) is situated south of the old town centre, next to the A 40 motorway. It was opened in 1862 by the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn. The station suffered extensive damage in World War II and was almost completely rebuilt in the 1950s and 1960s. Today it is an important hub between local, regional and long-distance services, with all major InterCityExpress and InterCity trains calling at the station as well as RegionalExpress and Rhein-Ruhr S-Bahn services. Trains of all kinds call at the station, from long distance to local services. Night services are offered by EuroNight trains to cities such as Moscow or Brussels, and DB NachtZug trains to Zurich and Vienna, among others. Some 400 trains pass the station each day, making Essen Hauptbahnhof the third busiest railway station in the Ruhr Area after Dortmund Hauptbahnhof and Duisburg Hauptbahnhof.Below the station there is an underground station on two levels serving the trams and the Essen Stadtbahn. It has an unusual appearance with its pervasive blue light. A pedestrian tunnel at the eastern end of the platforms also allows passage from central Essen to Südviertel...
