Discussion in 'Missions / Witnessing / eVangelism' started by SaggyWoman, Jul 1, 2004.
Has anyone here ever experienced a call to missions?
If yes, could you elaborate?
Yes, I have, though my ministry is not the normal missions ministry. My ministry is to educate believers about the New Age and the occult and to reach those in the New Age and the occult with the love and truth of Christ. First God opened doors for me to give my testimony and then that led to further opportunities to speak. I began to feel burdened heavily for people in the New Age and occult (which I had been in). I did some outreaches and witnessing, and as time went by, people began to ask me when I was going full-time. My missions pastor suggested I should consider going full-time as a missionary. I did not want to when this was suggested, but that year (1996), I had a booth at the Arlington Co. Fair called "The Truth Behind the Symbols." I had 5 occult/New Age symbols portrayed plus the Cross, and a pamphlet explaining what these symbols were with the gospel and my testimony. About 500 pamphlets were taken and there was a lot of interaction with unbelievers. During this time, I became convicted of going into full-time ministry. That eventually happened in '98. As time has passed, God has confirmed this call in many ways -- in seeing people saved (not a lot -- it's a hard soil), in being passionate about sharing Christ and educating believers in these areas, and in the way doors have opened for me.
I want to add that I had to go through some preparation for this, including taking 30 hrs. of seminary (required by my church). My focus in seminary has been apologetics and I am still taking courses because I would like a degree.
Missions has been the most wonderful and fullfilling thing I have ever done.
I am a truck driver by trade and have been driving for most of my adult life.I was saved in Aug.of 1999 while driving home from work listening to a revival on the radio.I had started going to church 2 years earlier and thought I was already saved when I was 12 years old.But that is another story.In June of 2002 I was starting to be convicted of doing a truckstop ministry in Malvern,Ar.Well instead of imbracing this calling I did what a lot of people do,I ran from it.I had all the standard excuses,I'm not good enough,I can't talk good,I don't know enough,I can't quote scripture,no one will listen to me.This went on untill Oct.02.That day my life changed forever again(the first was when I was saved).A missionary and church planter from the Arkansas State Baptist Convention came to speak at my church.He talked about his life as a missionary and the trials and tribulations he and his family went through for 18 years,(some of which were violent).Then he talked about how the Central Baptist Ass. of Arkansas was trying to start a truckstop ministry in Malvern,Arkansas.How could I run anymore?This is exactly what I was being convicted of doing.I broke down in tears and told him what had been going on and how God was leading me in that same direction.Well to make a long story short,I am the director of Travelers Chapel,a truck stop ministry in Malvern,Arkansas.We opened in June of 03.Although we have had only 2 professions of faith.We have ministered to over a thousand drivers by working the parking lot,resturant,and fuel desk.We hand out tracks,sermon tapes,writing tablets,christian radio station guides,bibles,and christian reading materials.We have services on Sunday mornings and evenings.Eventually we want to expand to 7 days a week.We also teach seminars on starting a truckstop ministry and set up displays at Missions Fairs.I am not a preacher,or chaplain.But I have found out that God does not call the qualified,He qualifies the called.I am in the process of becoming a registerd missionary.
Definitely...God gave me a passion for missions, to reach out to unreached people with His Good News. I'd elaborate even more, but my nose is running like a faucet and I need a tissue.
Yes, I was called to go to the field of prison missions, I believe that is a mission field, and I go, even though it's only in letters. But Paul used letters, and I think we can all agree that God uses the written words in a powerful way.
The inmates are seeking, they have lost much and are reflecting on life. Many come to want to know God, many have already turned to Jesus and are born again into God's family, making them our brethren. They need other Christians to help them learn and grow strong in the Lord.
It's a wonderful ministry, or mission field, you can see the fruit of labor and it's a blessing to be used by God.
Hebrews 13:3 Remember them who are in bonds...
If you don't mind writing letters, I highly recommend this form of missions. Many are lost also, many will turn to the flase gods, Muslim faith is strong in the prisons, they turn to Islam as a way to get right with God, live a good life.
More Christian people are needed!
God bless you,
Yes. As a teen and young adult I worked not only with Native Americans, but with the Indians in Canada (Ontario province). As an adult, my wife and I have worked with some of the Hispanic population.
Yes I felt led to missions as a teen. I'm currently preparing for the field. Here's a call "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel"
I hate to be the devil's advocate here...
oh wait no I don't Im a baaaad widdle boy
The concept of the call while it does exist as a special supernatural occurence - nowhere is it given as a normative; and anyone who claims a call scares me a little - since Ive seen the results of "false" or after the fact exaggerated calls; and not too many real calls.
Perhaps I have a call since whenever I apply for missions the doors swing rustily open - I earnestly desire to serve God in the propagation of Scripture - but I will not stand up and say I have a call; anymore then I will stand up and say I am a prophet tho I have prophesied and spkoen and interpreted tongues. (sidenote tongues icky, me no likey tongues, since it is far too often misused)
Timothy was not called - but rather well spoken of and well qualified
John Mark not called - but eventually Paul speaks highly of his service
Paul's Second missionary journey (Acts 15:36) is nowhere attributed to the leading of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit however did establish principles that we are supposed to follow
1 - They are supposed to be qualified
2 - The church will not suffer from them being sent - since there will be people who can replace them in their spiritual duties.
3 - They are supposed to have some experience or knowledge with their chosen field (although since the workers are few; and we are often too stubborn to go where we belong; this requirement is often waived by God)
I finish with a quote by a Dr. Raymond Davis who was/is attached to SIM as a General Director Emeritus
"... The concept of a "call" necessary introductory experience for serving God cannot be Scripturally substantiated. Some, like Paul did have such an experience, but many others didn't. We've built up the idea of a "call" into something which simply was not known in the days of the early church..."
Well I'm of the thought that the Lord may be calling to a ministry (mission) for women. Women in all walks of life need encouragement, education, support. I am still in "training" or preparation for my ministry... so I'm not exactly sure yet. But this is where my heart seems to be going.
Nomads Wife
With all due respects, Comrade, this is not a call, but, a command. And it is not a command to all believers, or to 'the' church, or to random believers, but, to the Apostles.
Jesus gave the command in Mt. 28:19,20. It was a command in past tense but very applicable for today.
Indeed, it is a command.
It is a command that few follow==and all who do, what beautiful feet.
Woah there pinoy - every piece of Scipture is applicable to every Christian in every time frame
Nothing expires or becomes invalid - because if it did so it becomes less then perfect - and the Word of God is perfect - even the OT - which because of OUR imperfections is superseded but not nullified by the NT.
I think Im going to start another thread
Everyone is "called" to missions, its not a supernatural experience
I am called to make God known where I am, some have chosen to do so on the foreign field.

Gary Yourofsky Quotes
The problem is that humans have victimized animals to such a degree that they are not even considered victims. They are not even considered at all. They are nothing. They don't count; they don't matter; they're commodities like TV sets and cell phones. We have actually turned animals into inanimate objects - sandwiches and shoes.
It is not your right—based on YOUR traditions, YOUR customs and YOUR habits—to deny animals THEIR freedom so you can harm them, enslave them and kill them. Thats not what rights are about. Thats injustice. There is no counter-argument to veganism. Accept it. Apologize for the way youve been living. Make amends and move forward.
The worst scream I have ever heard, by far, is a mother cow on a dairy farm screaming her lungs out day, after day, after day for her stolen baby to be given back to her. And why do they steal babies from their moms? Well, the dairy industry can't have little babies sucking up all that milk that was meant for them. Every time you have a glass of cow milk, some calf is not.
Who taught me that animals were put on this Earth for food? Who taught me to disrespect animals and view them as mere commodities? Who stole my compassion, my empathy and my conscience? Who lied to me? Who instilled this vicious mindset of human-to-animal exploitation as standard operating procedure?
If you are not the victim, don't examine it entirely from your point of view because when YOU'RE not the victim, it becomes pretty easy to rationalize and excuse cruelty, injustice, inequality, slavery, and even murder. But when you're the victim, things look a lot differently from that angle.
I know you have the capability to understand right from wrong because you hate people who harm children. Well, why not despise people who harm animals? It's hypocritical! Why protect one and violate the other when neither one wants or deserves the abuse? They just wish it would end. Stop praising the innocence in children then ignoring or making fun of the innocence in animals.
Every November, during the certain holiday people love so much, people take a dead turkey, open up the dead turkey's ass, or carve out a really big hole in their ass, take some stuffing and shove it inside their dead empty ass, and use the little dead ass as an oven to bake some bread. Somebody else's dead empty bacteria-laden ass to make bread? Ass bread?! And people think vegans are weird? Because we eat tofu? And rice, and beans, and lentils?
Is slavery - owner, victim, profit, and domination - exclusive to the human race? Have blacks, Jews, women and children been the only victims of this atrocity? Have not cows been enslaved? What about pigs, chickens, turkeys, fish, sheep? If they're not enslaved, then what are they? Free?
Sometimes I think that the only effective and productive method of destroying speciesism would be for each uncaring human to be forced to live the life of a cow on a feedlot, or a monkey in a laboratory, or an elephant in the circus, or a bull in a rodeo, or a mink on a fur farm. Then people would be awakened from their soporific states and finally understand the horrors that are inflicted on the animal kingdom by the vilest species to ever roam this planet: the human animal!

n. This is an article of clothing that is too long to be classified as shorts, yet not quite in keeping with the style of gauchos, thus a weird combination of shorts and gauchos.
They are often seen on large men and must be sold in secret 'big guy' shops. The NBA uniforms and some college basketball programs have adopted shorchos in recent years.

Recruitment Agencies are profit-making organisations designed to source suitable candidates for their fee-paying clients and to proact registered candidates career objectives to the best of their professional ability.
As a student or graduate you will have various options to search for graduate jobs. Recruitment Agencies are one option. Choose one that caters for the types of job you are interested in and then drop in, telephone or email.
Registration usually involves completion of a registration (paper or online versions) and/or a copy of your CV accompanied by a covering letter outlining your career objectives, geographical restrictions/preferences, availability and salary requirements. Some agencies prefer to conduct a face-to-face interview with you in the first instance, whilst others do not.
Your details will be acknowledged by the agency and then will be entered onto a database and used to search for relevant vacancies that arise. Once you are short-listed you'll be contacted and given details of the role and company. Once you have given your consent, your CV will be forwarded to the client for their consideration.
If successful you will be asked to attend an interview or assessment centre at a convenient date and time. All relevant information on the company including brochures, websites and contacts should then be made available. (initially client details are often kept confidential as a contractual obligation by the agency). After the interview you will receive feedback on your performance and for some an offer of employment.
Agencies do not place every single candidate so ask lots of questions about their history, success rate, current job market, your CV to get an idea of your chances.
Treat any approach to an agency as you would an employer. They have a reputation to maintain and are unlikely to send you to an employer if you are scruffy, rude or vague about what you want to do. Keep your details up to date. If you acquire new skills or qualifications, let them know. If you are aware that you lack particular skills, try and do something about it. Sometimes upgrading your IT skills can help get your first break. Make sure your CV outlines all your relevant skills.
Word of mouth can be a useful tool to find out if an agency is any good. Talk to people who are already working in the area you want to get into. A quick call to a personnel department to find out the agencies used is normally fine. Otherwise try to find out how many 'live' vacancies they have or how many vacancies that might be suitable for you. Check out how long they have been in business. Good companies who have been around for a while should have built up relationships with organisations and are more likely to have a constant supply of vacancies.
Agency employees are paid commission based on a percentage of the placement fee so they are naturally motivated to find you work. Unscrupulous agencies try and get people into any position whilst others will consult you every step of the way and make sure that the match is suitable. The service is free and is an excellent way to open doors to their network of contact and opportunities.
Recruitment agencies take some of the hard work out of finding a job and can offer a speedier route into employment. The use of new technology has meant that some consultancies can now email or text vacancies to you as soon as they come in.

IBM CEO Sees Big Opportunity In Health-Care Technology >IBM
IBM CEO Sees Big Opportunity In Health-Care Technology >IBM
By Peter Loftus | WSJ
The chief executive of International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) sees a huge business opportunity in making the U.S. health-care system more efficient.
"Someone is going to drive incredible progress," IBM Chief Executive Sam Palmisano told a conference on medical innovation at the Cleveland Clinic Tuesday. "Someone is going to unlock this incredible economic opportunity. And I suggest, why shouldn't it be us?"
Palmisano sees IBM providing everything from electronic-health records technology to ultra-tiny personal devices that read DNA and cost less than $1,000. He likened those technologies to health-care equivalents of universal bar-codes in the retail industry, which made that industry more efficient.
But for health care to capitalize on technology, Palmisano said open standards are needed to allow sharing of information such as electronic health records. Strong ethics and privacy policies are also needed to protect patients, he said.
Not surprisingly, Palmisano sees a relatively limited role for government in forging new health technologies. The government should define the types of health data that should be shared under new technological systems and create an "architecture." But then government should "get out of the way" and let people in the health system innovate, he said. Read more.

GOP operatives are running a secret campaign to kill health care reform, and it's based on Karl Rove's old playbook
By Tim Dickinson | Rolling Stone
On the first day of August, a mob of 200 right-wing Texans stormed the parking lot of a Randalls grocery store in southwest Austin. They were united in a single goal: Disrupt the "office hours" that Rep. Lloyd Doggett, the district's congressman, had scheduled for his constituents. The protesters targeted Doggett for his role in crafting the House's bill to reform health care, brandishing signs that read "No Government Health Care" and "No Government Counselor in My Home!!!" But their anger seemed to encompass a universe of conservative fears: higher taxes, illegal immigration, socialism. The threat of violence was thinly veiled: One agitator held aloft a tombstone with the name Doggett. Screaming, "Just say no!" the mob chased Doggett through the parking lot to an aide's car — roaring with approval as he fled the scene.
Conservatives were quick to insist that the near-riot — the first of many town-hall mobs that would dominate the headlines in August — was completely spontaneous. The protesters didn't show up "because of some organized group," Rick Scott, the head of Conservatives for Patients' Rights, told reporters. "They're mad about the stimulus bill, the bailout, the economy. Now they see that their health care is about to be taken over by the government."
In fact, Scott's own group had played an integral role in mobilizing the protesters. According to internal documents obtained by Rolling Stone, Conservatives for Patients' Rights had been working closely for weeks as a "coalition partner" with three other right-wing groups in a plot to unleash irate mobs at town-hall meetings just like Doggett's. Far from representing a spontaneous upwelling of populist rage, the protests were tightly orchestrated from the top down by corporate-funded front groups as well as top lobbyists for the health care industry. Call it the return of the Karl Rove playbook: The effort to mobilize the angriest fringe of the Republican base was guided by a conservative dream team that included the same GOP henchmen who Swift-boated John Kerry in 2004, smeared John McCain in 2000, wrote the script for Republican obstructionism on global warming, and harpooned the health care reform effort led by Hillary Clinton in 1993.

Afghanistan Anniversary Cost Check: Eight Years = $228 Billion
Afghanistan Anniversary Cost Check: Eight Years = $228 Billion | Public News Service
RICHMOND, Va. - Today (Wednesday) is the eight year anniversary of the U.S. war in Afghanistan. As President Barack Obama huddles with advisers to examine strategy for the war, with requests for more troops from General Stanley McChrystal and other top military officials, its cost is also being analyzed.
According to the National Priorities Project, a nonprofit research organization that analyzes federal data,
the tab is more than $228 billion. Jo Comerford, the group's executive director, says Virginia taxpayers are on the hook for $6 billion of that total. Since such large numbers can be difficult to understand, she explains, her organization breaks the spending down to the local level.
"The $228 billion also means taxpayers in Richmond, Virginia, have spent $115 million. That's 21,000 fully-funded Pell Grants."
Pell Grants are federal, need-based financial aid for students who want to attend college. The combined costs for the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq will top $1 trillion in March 2010, she adds.
While more military spending is often equated with better national security, Comerford believes that assumption should be receiving greater scrutiny - not just in terms of how much is being spent, but where it's being spent.
"Right now, our military spending is unbridled. We're not being good stewards of the taxpayers in the United States that we need to be."
Comerford notes that the lives lost in the wars also deserve acknowledgment, although the casualty numbers are not part of these statistics. The full report is online at National Priorities Project.

Florida Mass March to End War Economy: Healthcare, Not Warfare, Orlando, Oct. 17, Noon
44,000 Uninsured Americans Die Annually While U.S. Spends $651 Billion on Military
Florida Mass March to End War Economy: Healthcare, Not Warfare
When: 12pm, Saturday, October 17th
Where: Main entrance to the University of Central Florida, Orlando (South East corner of Alafaya Blvd. & University Blvd).
ORLANDO – On Saturday, October 17, citizens from across Florida will participate in the "Florida Mass March to End the War Economy" in Orlando, Florida. The march is being held in solidarity with anti-war groups around the nation who are participating in a day of protest and action called for by the National Assembly Against the Occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan.
More than 44,789 Americans die annually for lack of healthcare services ("Health Insurance and Mortality in US Adults"), a fact recently pointed out by Congressman Alan Grayson (FL-8). The state of Florida has the second largest number of deaths resulting from lack of health insurance, more than 3,900 (report).
Meanwhile, in 2009 the U.S. has allotted $651.2 billion dollars for military spending, including emergency discretionary spending and supplemental spending (document). Orlando's Research Park is home to four of the top 10 recipients of tax payer dollars via the United States' bloated military budget including: Raytheon, Boeing, Northrup Grumman, and General Dynamics corporations. Together, these corporations received $96 billion dollars in tax payer dollars via the 2007 military budget.
On October 17, 12pm, protestors will march from the main entrance to the University of Central Florida (South East corner of Alafaya Blvd. & University Blvd) to the Central Florida Research Park entrance to protest local divisions of Raytheon, Boeing, Northrup Grumman, and General Dynamics.
UN Council To Discuss Gaza Report
UN council to discuss Gaza report | alJazeera | Submitted by Michael Munk | www.MichaelMunk.com
But, then, Brigadier Eli Avraham, an Israeli representative, played a videotape showing a meeting between Abbas and Ehud Barak, the Israeli defence minister during the Gaza war, in which Tzipi Livni, Israel's former foreign minister, was also present, the report said.
The tape showed Abbas trying to convince Barak to continue the offensive, according to the Shahab report.
Avraham also played an audiotape of a telephone call between Dov Weissglass, a senior Israeli official, and al-Tayyib Abdul Rahim, secretary-general of the Palestinian president's office, the report said.
In the conversation, Abdul Rahim noted that circumstances were suitable for entry of the Israeli army into Jabalya and al-Shatea refugee camps, and said that the fall of these two camps would end Hamas's rule in Gaza Strip, Shahab said in its report.
Weissglass then told Abdul Rahim that such an army operation would lead to the deaths of thousands of civilians, but, according to Shahab, Abdul Rahim said: "They have all elected Hamas, so they are the ones who have chosen their fate, not us."
Members of the UN Security Council will meet to discuss Libya's request for an emergency session on a report that claimed war crimes were committed by Israel during last year's offensive on Gaza.
Le Luong Minh, Vietnam's ambassador who holds the council presidency this month, said he had scheduled closed-door talks for Wednesday after receiving a request from Libya, the only Arab member on the 15-nation council.
Libya circulated a letter on Tuesday on behalf of the UN Arab group urgently seeking "an emergency meeting" of the council to consider the Goldstone report, Ibrahim Dabbashi, Libya's deputy ambassador, said.
The UN Human Rights Council, based in Geneva, Switzerland, postponed a vote last Friday on a resolution that would have condemned Israel's failure to co-operate with its investigation into the December-January war. Read more.

Bombing Afghanistan: Where Have All the Photos Gone?
Bombing Afghanistan: Where Have All the Photos Gone?
Mounting Civilian Casualties ...Silently
By Sibel Edmonds
The latest bombing in Afghanistan killed at least nine Afghan civilians, including six children. Here are a few excerpts from the report:
"Nine civilians including six children were killed in a NATO air strike targeting a Taliban position in restive southern Afghanistan, the provincial governor's office said on Thursday."Six children and three women were killed and another three civilian men were wounded," he said."
"Ehsanullah, an elder from Khoshal village, where the strike took place, earlier told AFP that Haji Kot Aka's house was hit late Wednesday."They had four guests at home when the bombing took place. The bomb killed Aka, his wife, four children and three of the guests. One of the guests was wounded," he said.
Civilian casualties are a sensitive issue in Afghanistan, creating a rift between President Hamid Karzai's government and international forces as well as resentment on the ground against foreign troops."
Here is a section from my op-ed piece last May on Mr. Obama's presidency and the mounting casualties in Afghanistan:
Here is the first paragraph in a New York Times report on May 15, 2009:
"The number of civilians killed by the American air strikes in Farah Province last week may never be fully known. But villagers, including two girls recovering from burn wounds, described devastation that officials and human rights workers are calling the worst episode of civilian casualties in eight years of war in Afghanistan."
The report also includes the disagreement over the exact number of 'Civilian Casualties' in Afghanistan by our military airstrike: Read more.
Ineffectiveness and Dangers of Flu Shots
Ineffectiveness and Dangers of Flu Shots
By Stephen Lendman
Believing what governments say can be hazardous to your health. It's even truer from corporate-sponsored studies on the benefits of their products. Thus, be very leery about the new CSL Ltd. one on the effectiveness of taking one Swine Flu dose. More to the point, any Swine Flu shot as, in single or multiple doses, they're all extremely toxic, dangerous, and must be avoided to protect human health from the pathogenic onslaught vaccines are designed to unleash.
CSL is "Australia's leading biopharmaceutical company (and) the only commercial manufacturer of influenza vaccines in the Southern Hemisphere." It's currently producing "a pandemic influenza vaccine called Panvax H1N1 which uses the proven technology that has enabled us to provide Australia with seasonal flu vaccines over the last 40 years."
Late Night: Vertebrates on Parade
Late Night: Vertebrates on Parade By Gregg Levine | FireDogLake
Dana Milbank, whose incredibly stressful job at the Washington Post allows him to go to White House press briefings, watched Thursday as Helen Thomas did something she has done pretty much every time she's had the chance for the last half-century—she asked a straight question, and then pushed for a straight answer.
On Thursday afternoon, Thomas gave a clinic in fortitude to President Obama's spokesman, Robert Gibbs, during the briefing. "Has the president given up on the public option?" she inquired from her front-row-middle seat.
The press secretary laughed at this repetition of a common Thomas inquiry, but this questioner, who has covered every president since Kennedy, wasn't about to be silenced. "I ask it day after day because it has great meaning in this country, and you never answer it," she said.
"Well, I -- I -- I apparently don't answer it to your satisfaction," Gibbs stammered.
"That's right," Thomas snarled.
"I -- I'll -- I'll give you the same answer that I gave you unsatisfactorily for many of those other days," Gibbs offered. "It's what the president believes in --"
"Is he going to fight for it or not?" Thomas snapped. Read more.
Vets Loving Socialized Medicine Show Government Offers Savings
Vets Loving Socialized Medicine Show Government Offers Savings
By Kristin Jensen | Bloomberg
Rick Tanner is one American who loves his government-run health care.
After serving in Vietnam and spending three decades in the U.S. Navy, Tanner retired in 1991 with a bad knee and high blood pressure. He enrolled in the Veterans Health Administration and now benefits from comprehensive treatment with few co-payments and an electronic records system more advanced than almost anywhere at private hospitals.
"The care is superb," said Tanner, 66, a San Diego resident who visits the veterans medical center in La Jolla, California, and a clinic in nearby Mission Valley. The record- keeping, he said, is "state of the art."
As Congress considers changing Americans' access to health care, the veterans agency, whose projected budget this year is $45 billion, is evidence that the government can provide care favored by patients that may offer savings when compared with private insurers.
Researchers publishing in the New England Journal of Medicine, the British Medical Journal and the Annals of Internal Medicine in recent years have endorsed the system. A Canadian policy journal, Healthcare Papers, devoted an entire issue to it in 2005.
"The VHA's experiences have become a model around the world," the editor-in-chief of Healthcare Papers, Peggy Leatt, wrote at the time.
The government is both payer and provider of care to the veterans, employing 19,000 salaried doctors in 153 medical centers and more than 900 outpatient clinics. Last year, 5.1 million veterans were treated, and millions more are enrolled. Read more.

Revealed: Millions Spent By Lobby Firms Fighting Obama Health Reforms
Revealed: millions spent by lobby firms fighting Obama health reforms
Six lobbyists for every member of Congress as healthcare industry heaps cash on politicians to water down legislation
By Chris McGreal | Guardian.co.UK
America's healthcare industry has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to block the introduction of public medical insurance and stall other reforms promised by Barack Obama. The campaign against the president has been waged in part through substantial donations to key politicians.
Supporters of radical reform of healthcare say legislation emerging from the US Senate reflects the financial power of vested interests ‑ principally insurance companies, pharmaceutical firms and hospitals ‑ that have worked to stop far-reaching changes threatening their profits.
The industry and interest groups have spent $380m (£238m) in recent months influencing healthcare legislation through lobbying, advertising and in direct political contributions to members of Congress. The largest contribution, totalling close to $1.5m, has gone to the chairman of the senate committee drafting the new law.
A former member of Bill Clinton's cabinet says fears that the industry could throw its money behind the populist rightwing backlash against public insurance have scared the Obama White House into pulling back from the most significant reforms in return for healthcare companies not trying to scupper the entire legislation.
Drug and insurance companies say they are merely seeking to educate politicians and the public. But with industry lobbyists swarming over Capitol Hill ‑ there are six registered healthcare lobbyists for every member of Congress ‑ a partner in the most powerful lobbying firm in Washington acknowledged that healthcare firms' money "has had a lot of influence" and that it is "morally suspect".

You Can't Trust A Tortured Brain: Neuroscience Discredits Coercive Interrogation
ScienceDaily (Sep. 22, 2009)--According to a new review of neuroscientific research, coercive interrogation techniques used during the Bush administration to extract information from terrorist suspects are likely to have been unsuccessful and may have had many unintended negative effects on the suspect's memory and brain functions.
A new article, published in the journal, Trends in Cognitive Science, reviews scientific evidence demonstrating that repeated and extreme stress and anxiety have a detrimental influence on brain functions related to memory.

Video Don't Lie -Or Does It? (Yes, *Another* ACORN Diary)
Video Don't Lie -Or Does It? (Yes, *Another* ACORN Diary)
By shanikka | Daily Kos
From the Associated Press:
shanikka's diary:
In New York, Baltimore, Washington, San Diego and San Bernadino, ACORN workers gave advice to Hannah Giles, 19, and the man who rescued her, James O'Keefe, age 26, about how to get a mortgage to buy a house where Giles and the girls would no longer be abused and exploited by "Sonny", a pimp with ties to the Mafia known for his violent physical abuse. Giles, isolated from her family, said that all previous efforts to get help had been rebuffed by mainstream lenders who had discriminated against her because merely she was a prostitute. O'Keefe, a law student and aspiring politician, said that he came forward because he needed to ensure that Hannah and the girls were safe. ACORN workers gave the couple school advice, tax advice and urged Giles and O'Keefe to reach out to family and friends for help while evaluating their current choices. "We are not going to judge these young people in their efforts to save themselves", said a spokesperson for ACORN. "They are poor, they need help, and it is our mission to help them since it was made clear that no one else would. We are confident that with just a little help and guidance, Giles will be able to leave the Life behind someday thanks to O'Keefe promising future and commitment to Giles. Certainly, they have shown through their insistence that they free other young girls from sex slavery from the same pimp that abused Giles that they are worthy of help.
I've sort of exhausted myself this past two weeks here defending in the comments section of numerous diaries (most of which, to be fair, were trying to help folks understand what really was happening with this story) the reputation and importance of the largest community organizing group in the United States, Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), against what has been a plethora of claims about its being a "corrupt criminal enterprise" that "turns a blind eye to prostitution." And against claims that ACORN is unimportant to the Left because "it raises no serious money" and "has no vital constituency" and should be thrown overboard post-haste for political cover.
But I hadn't seriously defended the alleged conduct of that handful of employees/volunteers out of the 400,000 nationwide who had supposedly been "caught". I had not raised any serious challenge to the narrative. I merely assumed without actual close study that the ACORN employees had indeed done what they are repeatedly being accused of having done, a fair summary of which is this: Read more.

Peace Grannie Embrace The Health Care Issue
by Joan Wile
New York City peace grannies -- Grandmothers Against the War and the Granny Peace Brigade -- who have heretofore focused on urging an end to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, have expanded our horizons to the fight for universal health care.
"These are two issues of extreme urgency to the U.S." said Barbara Walker, a member of both granny groups, "and each is at a critical juncture. The issues really can't be separated, as the gross funding for the unnecessary and doomed wars wastes money which could be used to cover all citizens' health needs."
Nine grandmas participated in an action held on Sept. 29, 2009, in front of the Bristol-Myers Squibb and Aetna insurance companies. In addition, there was a gaggle of Raging Grannies singing their satiric new lyrics to old standards. A surprisingly large turnout gathered in front of Bristol-Myers, and after a rally and a picket line which circled in front of the company's building, walked approximately 13 blocks down Park Avenue to the Aetna building, where they again formed a picket line for about an hour. A number of disabled people in wheelchairs participated in the action, adding to the drama of the occasion and demonstrating effectively the need for reform.
Earlier in the day, 16 protesters were arrested inside the Aetna building when they refused to leave until Aetna changed their policies (in both senses of the word). Among the arrestees was another of our Granny Peace Brigade women. She along with the other arrestees, was held in jail for 26 hours.
A Third Intifada Coming, Says Boyle
A third intifada coming, says Boyle | The Canadian Charger
The prospect for peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians is "dead as a doornail," said Francis Boyle in an interview with the Canadian Charger on September 25.
That is "because Obama sided with Binyamin Netanyahu," at the UN meeting of the General Assembly.
Boyle is a professor of international law at the University of Illinois and was legal advisor to the Palestinian delegation at the peace negotiations that culminated in the Oslo agreement.
According to Boyle, former senator George Mitchell "is running a dog and pony show" in his scampering around the Middle East.
"Because of his accomplishments in Northern Ireland, I had given him the benefit of the doubt, but not with what happened at the UN. Now it is clear that Mitchell's mission is just a public relations exercise to delude the Arab and Muslim world into believing that the Obama administration is going to do something while in fact they are pushing their agenda against Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan."
"At the UN," he said, "the entire world saw Obama personally get steamrollered by Netanyahu. Obama was humiliated in front of the entire world which saw him as a pusillanimous and feckless leader."
The US continues to fund Israel to the tune of $4 billion a year but will not insist on peace measures such as a halt to settlement construction.
Boyle believes that the current situation will inevitably lead to a third intifada, which will "sweep aside the geriatric leadership of Fatah."
As for Gaza, "most of their leaders have been killed by Israel." And as for Israel, it "never wanted peace. It always wanted more land, a greater Israel." Read more.
Portable Pain Weapon May End Up In Police Hands
Portable pain weapon may end up in police hands
By Paul Marks, New Scientist | Obama's Quagmire
The Pentagon's efforts to develop a beam weapon that can deter an adversary by causing a burning sensation on their skin has taken a step forward with the development of a small, potentially hand-held, version. The weapon, which is claimed to cause no permanent harm, could also end up being used by police to control civilians.
The idea of the weapon is to "create a heating sensation that repels individual adversaries", according to the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate (JNLWD) in Quantico, Virginia, which develops less-lethal weapons for the US military and coastguard.
Tests with a rifle-mounted infrared laser, carried out at a US air force lab near Dayton, Ohio, have determined a combination of laser pulse power and wavelength that causes an alarming, hot sensation on the skin, but which stops short of causing a burn, says JNLWD project engineer Wesley Burgei.

Mad As Hell Doctors Rally at White House
On Wednesday afternoon, September 30, 2009, the "Mad as Hell Doctors" rallied in front of the White House, in Lafayette Park. The group supports a Single Payer Healthcare System. Two of their slogans are: "Everybody In! Nobody Out!" and "Single Payer or Bust! "The doctors have been on a nationwide tour promoting their cause: via a huge Care-A-Van; staging many rallies, town hall meetings and giving speeches; canvassing numerous neighborhoods for new advocates; and, often times getting their message out by traveling in a caravan, while proudly displaying their symbolic white ribbon. Their laudable initiative, which sees "healthcare for all" as a moral and social justice issue for all Americans, was launched in Sequim, WA, on Aug. 28th. Dr. Margaret Flowers of Baltimore, who helped to organize the rally, also served as the MC for it. For background, see the Mad As Hell Doctors web site.

Global Environment in the Twenty-First Century by United Nations University Press
Book DescriptionThis volume examines the roles of different actors in the formulation of international and national environmental policy. It starts from the premise that while cooperation among nation states has proven to be necessary to address many transboundary environmental issues, virtually all policies must be implemented at the national or local level. The growing interaction between national and international actors and levels of governance is an increasingly important aspect of international environmental policy. The authors examine the roles of state and non-state actors in safeguarding the environment and advancing sustainable development into the twenty-first century. Each of the five sections focuses on a different actor: states, civil society, market forces, regional arrangements and international organizations. By examining the functions and capabilities of each of these actors, the authors analyse their effectiveness and their relationship with other actors both within and outside of the UN system, providing a useful framework for understanding the multi-actor, multi-issue nature of international environmental policy.

On display on Level 1
The elaborate carving of these brackets, corbels and lintels displays the fusion of Hindu and Islamic imagery that characterised the architectural decoration in many areas of the Indian subcontinent during the Mughal dynasty (1526–1857). These sculptures have been radiocarbon dated to 1450–1600, a period coinciding with the establishment of the Mughal Empire throughout India.
The design evokes the sinuous serpentine form of the mythical makara, a composite creature widely found in Hindu temple architecture. Circular and oval ornamentation suggests the beast's vestigial eyes and ears. However, intricate layers of geometric detail and foliate pendants and arabesques on the architectural elements reveal the strong Islamic character of the arts of the Deccan.

Even with all the dissimilarities, (dirt court, harder ball, higher net and different terms) volleyball is still this familiar consistency that I am grateful to have every night.

Boko Haram says airstrikes killing girls
Boko Haram appears to have released a video purporting to show dozens of the 276 girls who were kidnapped from the Nigerian town of Chibok more than two years ago. The video was released on social media by a Nigerian journalist who is in contact with a faction of Boko Haram that split from the main Islamist militant group after its leader was removed by the Islamic State.
In the video, one girl, identified by the news agency Reuters as Maina Yakubu, makes a plea for help and says recent Nigerian airstrikes have killed some of the girls.
"Oh you, my people and our parents, you just have to please come to our rescue: We are suffering here, the aircraft has come to bombard us and killed many of us. Some are wounded. Every day we are in pains and suffering, so are our babies. Some of our husbands that we married also are injured, some dead. No one cares for us," she says, according to The Associated Press.
"Please go and beg the government of Nigeria to release the members of our abductors so that they, too, can free us to let us come home. We are really suffering, there is no food to eat, no good water to drink here."
Nigeria's air force has carried out near-daily strikes on Boko Haram camps in the country's north. They accompany ground raids that authorities say have freed thousands of captives, though none of the Chibok girls, who are thought to be held deep in a forested area.
Some of the girls in the video are shown holding babies. The girl who speaks in the video says 40 of the girls have been "married."
"If our members in detention are not freed, let the government and parents of the Chibok girls know that they will never find these girls again," a Boko Haram fighter says in the video. He portrays the government as the villain and says his group is keen on a prisoner swap – the girls in exchange for Boko Haram fighters held in Nigerian jails.
Nigerian Information Minister Alhaji Lai Mohammed released a statement indicating his government thinks the recent rift in Boko Haram leadership may have provoked the release of the video.
"We are on top of the situation," he said. "But we are being extremely careful because the situation has been compounded by the split in the leadership of Boko Haram. We are also being guided by the need to ensure the safety of the girls."
Recent "proof of life" videos such as this one have reinvigorated groups pressuring the Nigerian government to engineer the girls' release.
Earlier this year, President Muhammadu Buhari said, "I assure you that I go to bed and wake up every day with the Chibok girls on my mind."
But efforts to free, or even locate, the girls have proved futile, as thousands of other Boko Haram prisoners have been released and most of the land occupied by the group has been retaken.

Ecology of Freshwater Fish - early view
Many fish species are able to produce sounds, which are often associated with courtship. In an earlier study, we showed for the Lake Victoria cichlid Pundamilia nyererei that females prefer to associate with a male with sound over a male without sound. As a follow-up to this earlier finding, we here investigated whether playback of conspecific sounds is sufficient to attract females in the absence of a conspecific male. However, we did not find a phonotactic response for conspecific sounds in the absence of live males, using the same playback procedure as in our previous study. An additional playback test showed that both males and females discriminated between conspecific sounds and bursts of white noise. This suggests that the sounds may be recognised but that they seem only effective as attractant in the presence of visual and/or olfactory cues. These findings underline the multimodal complexity of fish communication and courtship and call for a more integrated study of the different modalities in future studies.
