ONLINE RESOURCE: Multidimensional Poverty Index (OPHI)
The Oxford Poverty & Human Development Initiative (OPHI) and the UNDP Human Development Report launch the Multidimensional Poverty Index or MPI – an innovative new measure that gives a vivid "multidimensional" picture of people living in poverty. The MPI will be featured in the 20th Anniversary edition of the UNDP Human Development Report and complements income by reflecting a range of deprivations that afflict a person's life at the same time. The measure assesses the nature and intensity of poverty at the individual level in education, health outcomes, and standard of living. OPHI has just concluded a first ever estimate and analysis of global multidimensional poverty across 104 developing countries, and is releasing these results in advance of the Report's October publication.

EMPLOYMENT: 2 Positions at IFPRI's office in New Delhi, Postdoctoral or Research Fellow
The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) seeks 2 qualified candidates to serve as Postdoctoral Fellows (PDF) or Research Fellows (RF) for a two (2) year, fixed term, renewable, exempt appointment for its office in New Delhi.
One PDF/RF will work on the issues related to agribusiness in emerging modern value chains, especially those in fruits and vegetables, animal products, poultry, fishery and other high-value agricultural sectors. The PDF/RF will be responsible for developing projects related to the study of changing food systems in Asia, with focus on South and south-east Asia. The PDF/RF will study the implications of such fast changing food systems on small farmers and women, and other poor households, and designing policies that can help them to exploit these emerging opportunities. The work will involve developing a clear conceptual framework for understanding possible channels of impact, organizing field research in the region (including farm surveys and interviews with various participants in the food marketing channel), data analysis, preparation of research reports and dissemination of the results of policy makers and other stakeholders in the region. [more information]
The other PDF/RF will work on the issues related to food and nutritional security in South and central Asia. South Asia is the home of the largest number of poor and hungry people in the world. Research needs to be focused on the linkages between performance in agriculture and its impact on poverty and nutrition of adults and children. The initial focal countries would be India, Nepal and Tajikistan but will expand to other countries of south and central Asia. The researcher needs to develop a comprehensive conceptual framework, bring clarity in the methods to empirically map the linkages between agriculture, poverty and nutrition. [more information]
Deadline: August 27, 2010 (or until filled)
CALL FOR PAPERS: Brookings Institution Africa Growth Forum
The Africa Growth Initiative (AGI) at the Brookings Institution (Washington, DC) will use its first annual Africa Growth Forum in January 2011 to address the issue of how best to enhance agricultural productivity through the adoption of effective technologies and innovations by African farmers. The forum will bring together researchers who have completed or are undertaking studies that can explain the modalities and channels for transferring new technologies and new ideas to farmers successfully, and the conditions under which these work. Researchers will interact closely with policymakers at the forum to address the policy environments that are conducive to the adoption of new technologies and ideas, and to discuss the promotion of private investment in agriculture.

PUBLICATION: Securing Tenure Rights and Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD)
The Rights and Resources Initiative (RRI) contributed a new Social Development Working Paper for the World Bank's Social Dimensions of Climate Change series. Securing Tenure Rights and Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) contributes to the discussion of scaling-up the recognition of tenure rights within the efforts to reduce forest carbon emissions, and to put the costs of recognizing tenure rights in a broader perspective.
This Social Development Working Paper attempts to contribute to the discussion of scaling-up the recognition of tenure rights within the efforts to reduce forest carbon emissions and to put the costs of recognizing tenure rights in a broader perspective. It is organized into three sections: first, an examination of the role of tenure in reducing forest carbon emissions and enhancing carbon sequestration capacities; second, an overview of lessons learned from legally recognizing customary tenure rights, and; third, an analysis of the costs of recognizing tenure and the projected costs of an international REDD scheme.

PUBLICATION: A review of collective action in rural Ghana
A new IFPRI Discussion Paper:
With the beginning of the new millennium and the increasing concerns with regard to wild privatization reforms, African governments, international donors and development scholars have been showing renewed interest in collective action. As a result, farmer-based organization (FBOs) and agricultural cooperatives (agri–coops) are back on the policy agenda for Africa as a preferential means to achieve a more equitable, inclusive and community-driven development of rural areas. The objective of this paper is to provide a snapshot of the patterns and determinants in the development of FBOs and agri–coops in Ghana. With the intention to fill knowledge gaps, harmonize perceptions, update and broaden public understanding of FBOs and agri–coops in Ghana, this review compiles and compares as much secondary evidence as possible and fills in missing evidence through focus group discussions and key informant interviews. The paper concludes with some implications for policy-making and for further and more empirical research.

BRIEF: Climate Change and Conflict: Moving Beyond the Impasse
The Institute for Development Studies has a new brief on the relationship between climate change and conflict.
The debate on the relationship between climate change and conflict has reached an impasse. Two dominant narratives state that either climate change causes conflict or that contemporary conflicts have political and institutional causes. The preoccupation with proving or disproving a correlation between climate change and conflict is not helpful. It is time for a more measured view of vulnerability to climate change and a better understanding of the causes of conflict. Narratives of particular conflicts and local responses to climate change are a better guide for policy than generalised models showing simple chains of causality between conflict and climate change.

EMPLOYMENT: Consultancy -- Land Tenure Security & Food Security (ILC)
In April 2010, the ILC secretariat developed a paper entitled Links between Land Tenure Security and Food Security, as a contribution to the Updating of the High Level task Force's Comprehensive Framework for Action. This document was based on a consultation with members, the outcomes of which were systematised into 12 'principles' linking land tenure security and food security. This provided a valuable analysis of the statements and experiences of ILC members whose work has given them insights in this regard.
The ILC secretariat intends to use this document, and the outcomes of the consultation, as a base for further analysis of evidence from the field on the links between food security and tenure security over land and natural resources. These TORs outline the tasks and outputs of two consultants who will develop this product.
Duties and responsibilities of external consultant (to be identified)
Under the direction of the Programme Manager Global Policy of the ILC secretariat, and with the support of Mr Miggiano, existing consultant in the ILC secretariat, the external consultant will be responsible to:
- Develop an analytical framework for further analysis of the links between tenure and food security;
- Deepen the level of analysis by paying particular attention to women, as well as to other sections of society for whom the links between tenure and food security may be different or nuanced;
- Link findings with wider literature on tenure and food security;
- Identify areas for further consultation with specific ILC members, in particular related to documenting case studies or providing evidence for particular arguments made in the paper, and draw upon case studies from ILC members and partners to inform the analysis;
- Add to and modify the sections of the existing paper to extend the analysis and refer to field-based knowledge;
- Produce a related policy brief
Outputs will be produced in English. Consultant's ability to read in Spanish and French is desirable.
The consultant will be supported by the ILC secretariat, who will:
- Consult particular ILC members further in order to answer specific questions posed by the external consultant;
- Under the guidance of the consultant, develop a number of case studies for use in the final report;
- Facilitate a review of the final draft of the paper by selected ILC members and experts
The primary output of this consultancy will be a report of 30-40 pages on Linking land tenure security and food security, which:
- Builds from inputs already received from members and the paper prepared by the ILC secretariat;
- Documents further evidence and case studies for the arguments it proposes;
- Links experiences of ILC members with existing literature so as to take forward the analysis and develop new insights and understandings of the links;
- Provides a robust analytical framework and opens up new questions that could guide ILC work on linking tenure security and food security in the future
The secondary output will be a 3 page policy brief that clearly and succinctly communicates the key policy messages relevant to governments, development partners and civil society organisations.
The final products will be submitted by 15th September 2010.
To Apply
Consultants wishing to be considered for this work should send their CV and a letter of motivation to l.miggiano[at]landcoalition.org indicating their availability over the period August - October 2010.

CALL FOR PAPERS: International Workshop on ENSO, Decadal Variability and Climate Change in South America
The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) has a profound influence on South American climate. For example, during an El Niño rainfall tends to increase over Ecuador and decrease over Colombia. However, the El Niño events that occurred during 2002-2003 and 2006-2007 were different. They did not result in impacts that might have been expected based on our past experiences. The reasons for the differences seen in South America and in other parts of the world are not fully understood, but are the subject of intense research in many countries. This research includes studies examining naturally occurring decadal variability in ENSO and ENSO impacts, differences in the details of sea-surface temperature patterns between El Niño events, and the influence of global warming on ENSO and on the way ENSO affects global weather patterns. It is hoped that this research will lead to more useful information for decision-making in the wider community. This workshop will bring climate experts from around the world to discuss this research and its relevance to South American climate.
- To review the latest scientific advances on ENSO, decadal variability and Climate Change in South America.
- To review the projected trends and changes in ENSO Teleconnections in South America.
- To discuss on the potential climate impacts for the next 10-15 years and their social and economical implications in South America

PUBLICATION: Toward Sustainable Agricultural Systems in the 21st Century
The National Research Council invites you to attend the public release of a new report Toward Sustainable Agricultural Systems in the Twenty-First Century.
In the last 20 years, there has been a remarkable emergence of innovations and technological advances that are generating promising changes and opportunities for sustainable agriculture, yet at the same time the agricultural sector worldwide faces numerous daunting challenges. Not only is the agricultural sector expected to produce adequate food, fiber, and feed, and contribute to biofuels to meet the needs of a rising global population, it is expected to do so under increasingly scarce natural resources and climate change. Growing awareness of the unintended impacts associated with some agricultural production practices has led to heightened societal expectations for improved environmental, community, labor, and animal welfare standards in agriculture.
Toward Sustainable Agricultural Systems in the 21st Century assesses the scientific evidence for the strengths and weaknesses of different production, marketing, and policy approaches for improving agricultural sustainability and reducing the costs and unintended consequences of agricultural production. It discusses the principles underlying farming systems and practices that could improve the sustainability. It also explores how those lessons learned could be applied to agriculture in different regional and national settings, with an emphasis on sub-Saharan Africa. By presenting practices and how they could be combined in a systems approach to improving the sustainability of U.S. agriculture, this book can have a profound impact on the development and implementation of sustainable farming systems. Toward Sustainable Agricultural Systems in the 21st Century serves as a valuable resource for policy makers, farmers, experts in food production and agribusiness, and federal regulatory agencies.

o Infectious waste
o Non-infectious waste.
The major driving forces with respect to bio-medical waste generation in the state include, better human and animal health care facilities to cater to increasing population, increase in use of disposables, and limited awareness amongst the paramedics regarding environmentally sound and scientific disposal.As the number of health care establishments, both in public and private sector, and doctors as well as paramedical staff has increased by almost twice since 1980, the doctor to patient ratio has improved in the state. On an average a hospital bed generates 1 kg of waste per day, out of which 10-15 percent is infectious, 5 percent is hazardous and rest is general waste. Animal health care facilities have also increased by 87% from 1970 to 2010. To further promote research and strengthen medical facilities/programmes, the state government has established Baba Farid University of Health Sciences at Faridkot and Shri Guru Angad Dev University of Animal & Veterinary Sciences at Ludhiana. Thus, as health care facilities have improved the generation of bio-medical waste has also swelled.
As per PPCB, total biomedical waste generated amounts to 4078.25 MT during 2012-13. (however, this does not include biomedical waste generated from small clinics, dispensaries, etc. which do not require authorization from PPCB). Bio-medical waste is required to be properly segregated at source. As per Rules four recommended colour coded (Yellow, Red, Blue/White translucent and Black) containers are required to be used for segregation and collection of such wastes in the hospitals.
Spread of infectious diseases: Medical waste mismanagement is not only linked with the spread of infectious agents like, Human Immuno deficiency Virus (HIV) and Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), but also with indirect problems like endocrine disruption, cancers, reproductive disorders, immune suppression, nervous disorders, etc. Equipments and chemicals used in hospitals, like mercury-containing instruments, radioactive isotopes, glutaraldehyde, cytotoxic drugs, etc. pose a big threat if they are not disposed off properly. The most dangerous of all is the sharps waste, which is capable of transmitting infections. It is commonly known that a number of waste products are reused either by drug addicts or picked by rag pickers. This could pose a serious health hazard. However, no specific data is available.
Release of toxic gases during incineration: Incineration is a common method of disposal of infectious wastes and body parts. However, high temperature burning can cause air pollution by release of dioxins and furan (especially while incinerating plastics used in medical equipments). Hence, several developed countries are switching over to alternate technologies. In Punjab, presently double chamber incinerators are used by all the four CBWTF's. These facilities are regularly visited by the officers of the Board and by a committee constituted by the Advisory Committee established by the government under the provisions of BMW Rules.
BMW Generated and Treated in Punjab
Management of BMW
The Punjab Pollution Control Board is responsible for implementation of Bio-Medical Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 1998 in the state. PPCB and Punjab Health Systems Corporation (PHSC) are monitoring its collection, management and treatment. 4905 hospitals / HCFs generating Bio Medical Waste have been identified with a total waste generation 12.8 TPD (PPCB, 2015).
In the state, there are four Common Bio-medical Waste Treatment Facilities (CBWTF) have been established which collect, transport and suitably treat waste as per Rules and are monitored regularly by PPCB. However, 2 more CBWTFs are proposed in the State The established CBWTF's are as under:
The Online Consent Management & Monitoring System (OCMMS) for applying online authorization by HCFs to PPCB have been introduced. The bar code based software system for collection of bio-medical waste from healthcare facilities has been introduced and real time data can be monitored through online system. Each vehicle of the 4 facilities to carry Bio-Medical Waste are equipped with GPS system to track their movement. Regular training programmes are being organized for HCFs for management and handling of Bio-Medical Waste.

It is the third oldest airline in the world, after KLM and Avianca having been founded in November 1920; it began international passenger flights in May 1935. The Qantas name comes from "QANTAS", an acronym for its original name, "Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services", and it is nicknamed "The Flying Kangaroo".

It was established in November 1999 with two aircraft operating on a single route, and suddenly found itself catapulted to the position of Australia's second airline after the collapse of Ansett Australia in September 2001. The airline has grown to directly serve 29 cities in Australia from hubs in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, using a fleet of narrow-body Boeing and Embraer jets; and Airbus and Boeing widebody jets.
JetStar Airways
Jetstar Airways Pty Ltd, trading as Jetstar, is an Australian low-cost airline (self-described as "value based") headquartered in Melbourne, Australia. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Qantas, created in response to the threat posed by low-cost airline Virgin Blue.

Hello, my name is RITA CARMEN and I have been trying to get pregnant for over 12 years. i have been looking for ways online for so long, I first did Depo Provera Shot which i consecutively took every three months in order to get pregnant or fertile, but there was no way from it. I did Depo shot for 3 years constantly until my Doctors in Australia told me to try IVF because I had Endometriosis stage 4 and I resulted to try IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). For months after my IVF no progressed and my situation became worse that my husband had already had plans or getting married to another woman because I was barren. I read a testimony about Prophet Abulele how he had helped so many women with pregnancy problems and also how he usually casts return spells to bring back partner and make one fertile. Of all options tried, I gave Prophet Abulele a try. I am now a mother of a baby boy. For over 13 years of my marriage I received my help from this spell caster.

My dogs (very picky duo) really like these. We are defo a Wolf of Wilderness household, so no surprise I guess. Every cube entertains my galga for several minutes as she has to roll in it, bow play with it and then she takes at least couple of minutes wondering hot to eat it. She loves it. Sadly short lasting with our second dog, the borzoi, who just munches on it as if it was kibble given chance....

Asking Mayor Elect Breed to Clean Up Our Streets
GGRA is part of the CleanSafe365 Coalition, which brings together business and community groups who are working to partner with the City to clean up San Francisco's streets. Recently our coalition sent a letter to Mayor-Elect Breed asking her to do three things:
- Declare a crisis on San Francisco's streets. This would generate the urgent attention our city needs from the mayor, our city's service providers and the Board of Supervisors.
- Enforce laws protecting residents, visitors. We no longer can ignore those that are a threat to themselves and to our residents, employees and visitors.
- Increase accountability for results. We need transparency about resources spent, actions taken and improvements generated by taxpayer-funded service providers.

John tells us in Revelation 1:7 that Jesus would come with the clouds, and every eye would see him. But, what does he mean by saying this? Should we expect to see Jesus riding upon a puffy, white, cumulus cloud some day? Some people may think this is exactly what the text, and others like it, means. In other words, the most apocalyptic book among the records of the New Covenant must be taken literally, and, therefore, Jesus has not yet come! I have even seen paintings that indicate Jesus would literally return to the earth riding upon a cloud and all his saints with him. This, however, is far too literal an interpretation for an apocalyptic text such as this one. Read the rest of this entry »

How Is the Messiah David's Son?
Jesus had just defeated the scholarly Sadducees in a verbal battle of wits. In doing so, he had caused the Pharisees to rejoice, in that Jesus had shown how the Law points to the resurrection, something the rabbis had heretofore been unable to do. Therefore, perhaps not to appear he supported this group over that of the Sadducees, Jesus asked the disciples of the Pharisees how their teachers (the rabbis / scribes – see Mark 13:35) taught the Messiah was David's son (Matthew 22:41; Luke 20:41).

Strange Things and Paradoxes
Luke tells us that the response to Jesus' healing of the man stricken with palsy in connection with his saying that the man's sins were forgiven was paradoxical. The scribes and Pharisees claimed that they "saw strange things today!" (Luke 5:26) The Greek word for strange things is paradoxos (G3861), from which we get our word paradox. The question is then, 'what was the paradox that Jesus laid before the Pharisees and the doctors of the Law that they found so difficult to embrace? The healing, itself, astonished everyone—both the people and the leaders. Nevertheless, the power or authority behind the healing is what left the leaders of the people speechless and without a comfortable explanation. In fact, Mark tells us that these leaders had never seen their beliefs carried out in this fashion (Mark 2:12). Read the rest of this entry »
Jesus Has Shown Us What God Is Like!
Have you ever wondered what God is like? We see him portrayed exactly as he is in the face and life of Jesus (Hebrews 1:3). Jesus is the exact representation on earth of what God is in heaven. You see, no one had ever seen God (John 1:18), so no one knew what he was like. If Jesus is God through whom all things were created, and he came into this world, lived among us, but we never recognized who he actually is, then it is pretty safe to conclude that no one really knows God without knowing Jesus.

God WITH Us!
Some time ago, I remember seeing an animated version of Christians involved in ministry at their local church. It portrayed the ministries of three adults involved in children's ministry. The first two appeared to be nothing more than babysitting. The children seemed to be very active and the two adults seemed a bit annoyed but bearing with it all, while the bubble above their heads showed what they really wanted to do. One saw himself involved in the choir, and the other saw herself helping the aged. The animation showed they truly wanted to help, but they really wanted to be doing something else. The third adult looked like he was really enjoying the children. He was sitting on the floor with them laughing and the bubble above his head was an exact replica of what he was already doing. In other words, he was content in his ministry and wouldn't prefer doing anything else, no matter what that might be! Read the rest of this entry »
He Pitched his Tent with us!
John 1:14 and following simply doesn't make sense if Jesus is a mere man. Why would it be of any importance to say: the Word (Jesus) became flesh, unless the Word is other than human to begin with? For him to be an angel doesn't fit for several reasons. First, the angels are created beings and John 1:3 reminds us that absolutely nothing came to exist that does exist without being created through the Word. Secondly, the writer of Hebrews insists that God never told an angel: "You are my Son—Today, I have begotten you!" God simply does not refer to angels in this manner (Hebrews 1:5). So what does John 1:14 mean? If we are speaking about God, and if God is not a complex unity, what do the terms God and the Word, or Father and Son mean when the text doesn't seem to differentiate when it comes to who God is?

Can God be Subject to God?
I think one of the most powerful portions of Scripture that is used by some folks in an effort to prove that Jesus is not God is found in 1Corinthians 15. Here we are told that the Father had placed all things under the authority of Jesus. Jesus reigns as the Messiah until all things are brought into subjection to the Father, as all things were in the beginning, before the rebellion of Adam. Once Jesus does this, the Scripture claims, "…then the Son himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to him, so that God may be all in all" (1Corinthians 15:28). So, what about this one-liner? Is there enough of a foundation here to support a teaching that Jesus is not God? Can God be subject to God? Read the rest of this entry »

Charles Birdshead was found guilty back in 2013 of first degree manslaughter in the shooting death of Eustacio Marrufo in the parking lot of the Dakota Rose Motel in January of that year and was sentenced to 45 years in prison.
Wednesday Birdshead's attorney appealed that conviction before the South Dakota Supreme Court.
Jamy Patterson argued that errors in the trial were profound, pervasive and prejudicial.
Patterson argued that the words "or recklessly" were improperly added to the jury instructions and that Birdshead was prevented from arguing his theory of self–defense among other things.
Assistant attorney general Craig Eichstadt countered by saying that recklessness is an appropriate state of mind for first degree manslaughter and said the court required the state to disprove the theory of self defense at trial.
The Supreme Court did not rule on the case Tuesday.

Euronews is available via a number of TV providers, on satellite platforms and via cable and IPTV. Free digital satellite TV or FTA signals are scattered and do not originate from the same satellite. Thanks to the ongoing competition between satellite TV dealers, they'll give you a complete satellite TV system for free when you subscribe to their satellite TV service. Decoding and viewing A box near your TV will take the signal received and decode your chosen channels into a form that you can watch. Communications satellites: These are artificial satellites stationed in space for the purposes of telecommunications using radio at microwave frequencies.
Meeting with member States to explain the relevance of the Amendment in protecting the Common Heritage and the continued provision of international public satellite telecommunication service. However, cable TV companies always face problem in promoting their service in rural area as there might not be enough (or no) access port.
So, in a discussion of broadband choices, we should include cable and DSL, but we will also discuss new options that are now available like WildBlue satellite, and services that will soon be available like WiMax (WiFi with a city-wide hot-spot) and ViaSat (satellite communications on steroids).
DISH Network programming service starts at $19.99 for their Dish Family programming package. The dish and receiver will harness the satellite feed and give you access to hundreds of satellite channels. Chances are your internet will be working most the time and your satellite will be working hardly ever. The quality of your satellite TV would be clearer and transmission would be faster and smoother with high connection speeds. The only problem with satellite TV could be interference of the programming because of rain or snowfall. Another aspect of satellite TV is the amount of programming that is good for specific audiences.
If satellite service were be interrupted in an entire neighborhood – which is very rare and might only occur in cases of severe weather – everything can be 'fixed' either on the part of the customer adjusting the dish themselves, or through a computerized network at the satellite company's office that accesses the actual satellite in space and adjusts/addresses any signal issues.

Interlude: ManiraDiscuss
The hallways were delicious. Manira moved at a leisurely pace through the darkened hallways, pausing in out-of-the-way places to take in the wonderful aromas of fear and anticipation and desire. It was quite a blend, like Prom Night on steroids, some lurking around with acquisition topmost in their minds, others just wanting to make it through the day.
Hell Night, she heard someone refer to it as, and she giggled a little bit. It was adorable, all these children trying to be big bad predators, like watching kittens learning how to hunt; it was even more fun, watching the new students, of which she was still supposed to be one, running right from what they thought was danger into the real traps.
It shouldn't work, what the upperclassmen were doing, but she could taste the electricity in the air when they managed to hook someone, the tinny post-storm taste of an oath taking hold. What were they doing with this place, to twist the Law like that? She could see the outline of the wards in the walls, if she looked really really carefully, but she'd never been very good at interpreting such things.
She didn't have much room to think now, anyway. The emotions were so thick in the air that it was nearly too much, like being drowned in chocolate espresso, smothered in Kobe beef. She could glut on this, keep devouring the thick custard of emotion until she could take no more, and wander around drunk and giggly and happy for weeks – but she couldn't.
The form she was in constrained and tethered her. She could eat, of course, take in the banquet of terror-pleasure-want laid out for her, but the girl she was being would be afraid, like so many of the Fifth Cohort were afraid, and so the fear beat at her, a pounding bird in her chest trying to get out.
It was almost a pleasant novelty – almost. But this near-human body was so much more prone to such things than her accustomed form, and it got in the way of everything. Even courting, or, as was more appropriate and far more entertaining, being courted.
And where was the boy, anyway? They'd had a lovely date yesterday, and he'd been a perfect gentleman, all animal want, masculine and growly (so much more so than at the dance!) overlain with a concrete façade of manners, so carefully solicitous of her innocent self that she'd found it daring to tilt her head up for a kiss when he delivered her back to her room – and then been crushed when he'd pecked her lightly on the cheek as a good-bye, and, for the first time in centuries, actually questioned her own appeal.
Then, this morning, with the lights out, she'd looked for him. He had to be around somewhere, right? Roaming the halls, tasting the same feast she was tasting, looking for her.
Or looking for someone else. She frowned, letting the body take care of the simple animal need to hide from the monsters, to hold very still in a shadowed corner while they pounded by. Could he have gotten bored with the hunt so quickly? She was no good at being prey, she knew, but her "no good" ought to still be better than any half-breed amateur's best try. With the exception of his Owner, who he would get sick of soon enough, he shouldn't be looking anywhere but at Manira. What was wrong with her?
Be realistic, you silly bint, she told herself. She'd grab this too-human body by the scruff of the neck and shake it if she could. He wasn't out here because he Belonged to the Director, and, whatever she was doing down here, she couldn't let it appear as if she were complicit in this madhouse hunt.
She swallowed the tiny but still whisper that threaded its way through her consciousness and stepped back out of her niche. There was the most tasty-smelling thread of hate coming from the hall just ahead, the sort of pulsing, mind-consuming loathing that destroyed nations. It was such a lovely playground Regine had built; the young burned hot and cold with insane extremes and hairpin turns, and here they were, all buried together in this insulated bunker for the eating. If she ever got out of here, she'd have to bring back a couple others. Eirian and Zahavi, maybe. If she ever got out of this body.
She rounded the corner, intent on the trail, lips trailing over her fangs as she grew closer to the source. Such murderous rage! She wondered if she could fan it into something truly deadly, maybe start a small riot?
"Hello, Manira."
Hel-what? She stopped, settling back hard on her heels; there was someone directly in front of her, oh, holy fuck, a teacher. What was he doing here? She blinked, looking up at his curly ram's horns twisting out of that golden hair, and was mortified to find a blush rising to her cheeks. Of course; he was a Daeva as well.
Carefully, covering it with a comely, cute smile up at the professor, she pulled in the tendrils she used to glean emotions. If he caught her at it, it would blow her cover in a heartbeat. "Hello, Professor VanderLinden" She looked around, allowing her nervousness to take the forefront again. "It's a little crazy around here, isn't it?"
"It gets like that once in a while," he agreed easily. "Why don't you let me walk you to the lunch room?"
"Oh, would you?" Relief gushed out of her in a silly little-girl voice. "It's kind of scary out here."
He looked sidelong at her as they walked, and she wondered if her horns were somehow showing, or if she'd just laid it on a little thick. "Have you chosen a Mentor yet, Manira?"
"No, sir." She'd been distracted with all the shiny things Addergoole offered her.
His smile suggested that he knew that, and that he found it delicious and amusing. "I'd like you to consider taking me as your Mentor."
Linden? She suppressed a chuckle as the memory came back to her. I taught your mother the game, boy! But she'd need a Mentor, and this one, and the look in his eyes…
"I'd like that a lot, Mister VanderLinden." And Ambrus would hate it.

"But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of sea, blown and tossed by the wind" ~ James 1:6
Ladies, do you think it is possible to overcome doubting? Do you think doubting is a sin, or is a sign of weak faith? What are your thoughts on having a wavering mind, calling something into question, or hesitating?
First, it is imperative to say that I have no doubt about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. But overcoming doubting of people and their intentions for wanting to be a part of my life is difficult due to being betrayed, rejected and humiliated in the past. Each time I feel good about being where I need to be, something triggers the doubting again.
What are your thoughts about a friend of many years who for unknown reasons starts to display signs of jealousy and spread lies with your name attached as the source? After she has been exposed as a liar, she repents and ask to be forgiven. Is it okay to doubt her loyalty when she wants to renew the friendship? Micah 7:5 tells us "Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide."
Challenging and doubting God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are wiles of Satan. Wiles are schemes, tricks and manipulations designed to deceive us. Satan knows our weaknesses and what to use to cause us to start doubting. Clever schemes used by Satan through others are to ensnare us through temptation, threat, and intimidation. This is why Christian women must put on the whole armor of God to stand against these wiles.
For some people overcoming doubting is difficult because of past experiences of being abandoned, rejected, traumatized, humiliated and betrayed. In my last blog titled "Overcoming Weariness" you read the quote "If you don't let the past die, it won't let you live"; it still holds true for this blog.
How Can We Overcome Doubting? There is no reason we should suffer silently. But until the Holy Spirit is allowed to mend broken lives, doubting will continue to creep into our lives. God is in the business of restoration and He alone is more than capable of bringing us to the place called wholeness. "He restores my soul" ~ Psalm 23:3a. We must pray, believe, and trust the Holy Spirit to lock out doubting in our lives.
Finally, sometimes the seed of doubt tosses around in our minds like waves blown and tossed by the wind. Apostle Paul said that we should forget what is behind us and strive toward what is ahead; however, that is easier said than done but I am praying and striving to overcome doubting in my life.
"DO NOT GIVE DOUBT THE COURTESY YOU DO NOT GIVE YOUR FAITH" ~ Author Unknown

Mad #51 (Albert Feldstein) - Etaoin Shrdlu Issue - December 1959
The phrase: "... etaoin shrdlu ..." first appeared in editor Albert B. Feldstein's parody of high school newspapers in Mad number 39. The true meaning of etaoin shrdlu is qazxdr tgbnj mk owsxcft. (etaoinshrdlu are the most frequently used letters in the alphabet.)
Although Feldstein finally agreed to give byline credits to writers is issue number 49, he continued to omit credit to himself for his contributions. Since all contributors (except Feldstein) were now named in conjunction with their articles, it was redundant to list them on the index page. Therefore, they were all lumped into "the usual gang of idiots" category. "Idiot" is an affectionate term that the Mad staff often used to identify themselves. Early evidence can be found on the inside front cover of issue number 34 which listed "12 of America's Most Famous Idiots." [MADlog #13]
"Etaoin shrdlu" appears on the letters page and page 29.
