Mpho from Pretoria, South Africa
I praise and really thank God for blessing me with wisdom and strength with regards to my university marks. I left high school with moderate marks/results and I got only one distinction, so I could not get a bursary. Now at the university, I have been performing excellently academically like I have never before, even in high school. I recently received my results and I got distinctions in all my modules; and I was doing seven modules, of which in the beginning I had no clue how I was going to make it. But God told me "you are going to need more than just intellect to pass. You are going to need faith" and "I will never leave you or forsake you. Love, God."

Thank You Jesus for giving me this job for which I interviewed last Wednesday. Their response was kind of negative but I have a feeling they have not decided yet. Our Lord can work mighty wonders and I trust in His divine providence. I felt this was the best I could deliver at the interview and I was inspired by the Lord to answer all their questions.

I had lost all hope but I kept praying for God to hear me and I prayed night and day for Him to give me an answer. I was $2,200 behind in rent including legal fees after loosing my jobs and almost everything else I had. I was on my way to the courthouse to explain I couldn't pay it and was going to be evicted and got a call that I had a check waiting for me that covered exactly the needed amount. Sometimes I doubted like a good human will do, but I never stopped praying. I asked God to forgive me for doubting and just in the right amount of time God provided for me a miracle that cannot be explained any other way. I praise God for being a God of wonders and a God of miracles.

I can't praise and thank our Lord Jesus enough for saving and rescuing me from the bondage of enemies. Truly His word is true and powerful. Answer me quickly, Lord, my spirit fails. Do not hide Your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit. (Psalm 143) Now I'm on fire to worship Him all my life! Thank You, Jesus.
Edwin from California
Praise to the Son of God, the King of Kings, Lord Jesus.Your mercy and kindness reign forever. As I go through trials and tribulations, I feel our Lord's presence. The good Lord Jesus will not leave you nor forsake you.
Don from Cleveland, Ohio
Father God Almighty, I have lived the life of a bitter man, angry for so many things I've found to be unfair in my life. And I stand before You now to confess all these things. Father, I am deeply sorry for defiling my temple and hurting You. Please Lord God, hear me. From this day forward I live to show myself as a light, someone who has weathered the storms and stood through it. I've been lied to, made fun of, and accused of many things and I forgive my accusers. I love You and ask for forgiveness of my blindness. Let me live in Your light and help others to find love, happiness, and peace. I will move forward in my life. This I vow. I pray in Jesus' name. Amen!
Andrea from the United States
Thank You, God for answering my prayer. I've been asking for Your help for so long. One small thing, but I'm happy to finally know You are listening. Hopefully other prayers will be answered soon. Thank You.
Latha from Chennai, India
Dear God, I've always been attracted to You, right from my childhood. Because in most of my growing up years and even now, I've always undergone severe trauma either due to abuse from parents, others, or some other negative problems. At such times only belief in You, belief and faith that God exists, has been my only source of hope. Faith and believing that You exist is like a silver lining in the dark clouds of tragedy, bad luck, misfortunes, bullying, abuse, curses, rogues, and diseases. The Lord cannot be blamed for sinners' wrongdoings. Dear Lord, I really thank You for giving me that trust.
When I was really thinking I was cured from the IBS I was afflicted with, I was really getting some hope toward life and living. As You know because of that terrible disease I've lost everything from a very young age of 19, and I've also been subjected to shame, inconvenience, and fear. Still I do believe in You God. Because You are the only person or being whom I can talk to without being made 'little'. You never say stop, or threaten me when I cry out to You. I always feel somewhat better whenever I cry to You, God. I praise You for helping me believe in Your existence.

Mabel from Florida
God, thank You for loving me when no one else did. God, I give all the glory to You for saving my life, curing me from an incurable disease, and repairing the severe injury to my spine. God, I thank You from my heart to the very core of my soul. I give all my praise to You, the healer, the redeemer, and the deliver. God, thank You for accepting me into Your loving arms. To God be the glory.
John from Odisha, India
Thank You, God for all the blessings, love, healing, and forgiveness You have given me. I love Thee Jesus so much for You died for me and all in the world. Jesus, help us to love our enemies. Dear Jesus, forgive me for sometimes I fear the persecutions. Dear Lord, I'm ready to die for Thee. Please fill me with Thy Holy Spirit. I love You God so much.
Craig from Florida
Thank You, Lord for being with me every day. Please help me meet someone to love and share my life with. I'm so tired of being lonely. Amen.
Eve from California
Dear God, Thank You that I was able to do IVF when all other cycles were canceled. Praise the Lord that I had two eggs fertilize.
David from the United States
Thank You, Lord, for answered prayer—keeping my wife safe during her medical procedure and giving us the good results. And thank You for Spirit-filled encouragement through Your Word.

In a harshly-worded statement issued in
Vienna yesterday, Ewald Podgorschek, financial policy spokesman
of the Freedom Party of Austria (FPOE), denounced Mario Monti's
disrespectful remarks on national parliaments, in a newspaper
interview, as an attack on democracy. The division of power,
giving parliaments political control over governments, is a core
aspect of democracy; therefore, Monti's remarks have to be
rejected in the most categoric terms, Podgorschek said, adding
that one may pose the question of whether Monti's loyalty still
is more with his former employer, Goldman Sachs, than with Italy
and its people.
In Germany, a Frankfurter Allgemeine daily commentary said
that Monti's remark that governments had to "educate" their
national parliaments, "tells of a, cautiously formulated, weird
understanding of democracy. He is probably right to say that the
breaking apart of Europe becomes more likely if governments are
totally bound to decisions of their parliaments. What follows
from that, however? Europe can only live on, if the national
parliaments have the least to say? The Federal Constitutional
Court, which is presently deliberating on the ESM, will note
these remarks with interest."

We started our second day in Shilongo with a 9 o'clock water board meeting at the prenyende, which of course meant 10:30 in Ugandan time. While we waited for all the water board members to arrive, we enjoyed the beautiful view of the village and practiced our Lugisu with people who passed by. I also got a chance to play with Alan and Atha, who I met in August, and catch up with their mom. Alan and Atha's baby brother, Samson, grew so much since the last time I saw him!
One by one the members arrived and Matt and Alyssa got a chance to meet them. As chairman of the board, Jude explained to us what had happened with the bike and tank system after our departure in August. We discussed the major issues with the system and what steps should be taken next.  The meeting was really productive and we got valuable information and input from the board that will be crucial to our progress.
After the meeting, all the water members and Vincent, the chairman, took us on a border tour of Shilongo. Starting at Muswema, we worked around the entire perimeter of the village and stopped by all of their water sources. As we trekked through the expansive land that is Shilongo, we learned about all their plants in the gardens. At one point, Vincent and Richard showed us how they use common plants to make rope! Near by Muswema, Richard made us a hat out of leaves and sticks, and for the remainder of the walk, we all took turns wearing it. Matt even got a house tour from a couple that lives near Muswema.
In the afternoon, we decided to go off on our own to the water sources and collect water samples. Unlike the hot morning, the weather was slightly cooler making it easier to move around the village. We went around to Muswema, Nabubolo, Nashiloholo, and the borehole to collect the samples and to dimension the spring boxes. While we were at the borehole, I finally got to catch up with Michael, who was not around at the meeting in the morning.
After a long day, we returned to the house around six but we still had more work to do! We immediately started the water quality test even though the power was out. So for the next couple of hours, we tested the samples lit by our headlights and candles.
It was such a great day for us! Matt and Alyssa got to meet many of the people that they have heard extensively about from all the past travel members, and I got to see everyone who I had met in August! Even though I was here for three weeks in August, the travel team never had much time to relax and do an extensive tour of the village like this one so it was great. We hope our remaining days as just as exciting as this one!

Indigenous protestors embark on 300-mile walk to protest Amazon road in Bolivia
August 22, 2011 09:07 AM - Karimeh Moukaddem, MONGABAY.COM
Indigenous protesters are targeting a new road in the Bolivian Amazon, reports the BBC. The 190-mile highway under construction in the Bolivian Amazon will pass through the Isiboro-Secure Indigenous Territory and National Park (Tipnis), a 4,600-square mile (11,900 square kilometers) preserve which boasts exceptional levels of rainforest biodiversity, including endangered blue macaws and fresh-water dolphins. Indigenous peoples who live in Tipnis are participating in a month-long protest march against the road, which they claim violates their right to self-governance.

To date no record lows have been recorded in any country in the world so far. This is similar, though not quite as extreme, to last year when twenty countries broke all time highs with none hitting an all time low.
SHARE: print Lessons from the world's longest study of rainforest fragments
August 15, 2011 02:39 PM - Jeremy Hance, MONGABAY.COM
For over 30 years, hundreds of scientists have scoured eleven forest fragments in the Amazon seeking answers to big questions: how do forest fragments' species and microclimate differ from their intact relatives? Will rainforest fragments provide a safe haven for imperiled species or are they last stand for the living dead? Should conservation focus on saving forest fragments or is it more important to focus the fight on big tropical landscapes? Are forest fragments capable of regrowth and expansion? Can a forest—once cut-off—heal itself? Such questions are increasingly important as forest fragments—patches of forest that are separated from larger forest landscapes due to expanding agriculture, pasture, or fire—increase worldwide along with the human footprint.
Amazing recovery, Blue iguana back from the dead
August 12, 2011 01:15 PM - Jeremy Hance, MONGABAY.COM
The blue iguana (Cyclura lewisi) was once king of the Caribbean Island, Grand Cayman. Weighting in at 25 pounds, measuring over 5 feet, and living for over sixty years, nothing could touch this regal lizard. But then the unthinkable happened: cars, cats, and dogs, along with habitat destruction, dethroned Grand Cayman's reptilian overlord. The lizard went from an abundant population that roamed the island freely to practically assured extinction. In 2002, researchers estimated that two dozen—at best—survived in the wild. Despite the bleak number, conservationists started a last ditch effort to save the species. With help from local and international NGOs, the effort, dubbed the Blue Iguana Recovery Program, has achieved a rarity in conservation. Within nine years it has raised the population of blue iguanas by twenty times: today 500 wild blue iguanas roam Salina Reserve. How did they do it? Blue iguanas are raised in captive breeding until they are two years old—big enough to keep feral cats at bay, which were decimating juvenile iguanas. Once they hit two, they are released in the 625 acres of Salina Reserve. Populations are then monitored.
Arctic open for exploitation: Obama administration grants Shell approval to drill
August 9, 2011 08:04 AM - Jeremy Hance, MONGABAY.COM
Less than a year and a half after the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the Obama administration has bucked warnings from environmentalists to grant preliminary approval to oil giant, Royal Dutch Shell, to drill off the Arctic coast. Exploratory drilling will occur just north of the western edge of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) in the Beaufort Sea, home to bowhead and beluga whales, seals, walruses, polar bears, and a wide-variety of migrating birds.
Oil horror in Nigeria: 30 years, one billion dollars to clean-up
August 8, 2011 07:20 AM - Jeremy Hance, MONGABAY.COM
Fifty years of oil spills in Nigeria's now infamous Ogoniland region will take up to three decades and over a billion dollars ($1 billion for just the first five years) to restore environments to healthy conditions, according to a new independent report by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP). The most thorough study to date has found that widespread pollution has hit the Niger Delta even harder than assumed with devastating impacts on fishing grounds and community health. Last week Shell, one of the biggest operators in Nigeria, admitted to two massive oil spills in 2008 totaling 11 million gallons of crude.
Incredible! A picture of the long lost rainbow toad
July 25, 2011 09:09 AM - Jeremy Hance, MONGABAY.COM
Scientists are elated after the surprise rediscovery of a wildly-colored frog not seen for 87 years and never before photographed—until now. The Bornean rainbow toad, also known as the Sambas Stream toad (Ansonia latidisca) was rediscovered on Borneo in the Malaysian state of Sarawak by local scientists inspired by a 2010 search for the world's missing amphibians by Conservation International (CI). Leading up to its search CI released the World's Top 10 Most Wanted Lost Frogs (out of a hundred being searched for): the Bornean rainbow toad was listed as number 10. Led by Dr. Indraneil Das with Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS), who last years discovered a pea-sized frog in Borneo, researchers found the long-elusive Bornean rainbow toad hanging out 2 meters up a tree. The species was found at night in a little-explored area of the Gunung Penrissen mountain range. Several early expeditions failed, but once the group included higher altitudes they were actually able to locate three individuals of the long-lost toad. Prior to its rediscovery the toad was only known from three individuals and a single black-and-white illustration made in the 1920s.
Amazon drought and forest fire prediction system devised
July 20, 2011 07:10 AM - Rhett Butler, MONGABAY.COM
Researchers have devised a model to anticipate drought and forest fires in the Amazon rainforest. The research, which used precipitation records dating back to 1970 and hotspots tracked by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA satellites, finds a strong correlation between sea surface temperatures in the tropical North Atlantic and subsequent drought in the western Amazon. Drought in the Amazon is increasingly associated with forest fires due to land-clearing fires set by agricultural developers and cattle ranchers.
Are Birds Smarter than Lizzards?
July 14, 2011 01:03 PM - Jeremy Hance, MONGABAY.COM
Reptiles have long been thought to be dim-witted, but a new study in Biology Letters finds that the Puerto Rican anole, a type of lizard, can match birds in smarts. Using cognitive tests that have been previously used on birds, researchers with Duke University found that the lizards were capable of solving a problem they've never encountered before, remembering the solution in future trials, and even changing techniques when presented with new challenges. In fact, the tiny anoles solved the test with fewer tries than birds. Given reptiles' reputation of being slow-on-the uptake the head author, Manuel Leal, said the findings are 'completely unexpected'.
