Umm he didnt use any assault weapons so why are you trying to ban these. Why not ban cars since he used one to get to the crime. Maybe if he didnt have a car this wouldnt have happened. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.

Mr. Veritas calls on America to push for banning error-ridden, lying, agenda-driven "newspapers."First Amendment be damned!#3: IMHO, banning cars won´t work. Just as a lunatic like Lanza could use other weapons/devices to kill, he could also use a truck, bicycle, or stolen bus to get to his victims. I say it´s asphalt. Asphalt is the real problem. Without good paved roads, these killers would have only a handful of potential victims within walking distance. Remember, the entire Interstate Highway System is a key part of national defense infrastructure -- a weapon! There´s no need for such paving to be accessible to pleasure-drivers. Paving clearly should be for police and military use only. Click Here if you Like this Comment

Big difference in assault weapon and an assault rifle.Assault weapon is nearly all guns, including handguns.So, Democrats are advocating violation of the 2nd amendment.Just imagine though, that they take away the guns, but then a small band of determined people obtain guns, cross the border, and start taking over parts of the country.And now consider they are Christians and devoute religious people (dems getting a little nervous now?).Could be anybody, or group.Progressives always confiscate guns then rule with iron fist at the expense of the "little people".Oh, you say we have laws that will protect us?Sure, ask the people living in South and West Chicago areas how those laws are working and the police are protecting them.

I suppose what they are calling for is a ban on something that "looks sinister," i.e., like a military assualt rifle that can fire multiple rounds with one pull of the trigger (already illegal), but really only fires one round at a time. Thus, because something looks sinister to some, but has the same functionality as a hunting rifle, it should be banned?Let´s argue the facts. Calling for a ban on something that is "already illegal" or that "looks sinister" is really just playing to teh emotional mob and is disingenuous. Click Here if you Like this Comment
While we join these people in their grief we need to remember that more innocent children are murdered every hour by abortion than all the children that were murdered by gunfire in the last ten years. If you are going to ban something, ban abortion. Abortion is the greatest threat to innocent children than all the guns in the country. Click Here if you Like this Comment
Could it be that the gradual societal acceptance of infanticide over the years is more culpable than the "gun culture," whatever that is? Roll those little six year-olds´ lives back six plus years, and liberals would have been OK with their deaths.

I´m sure the gangs and the Mafia will be more than happy to turn in all of their ´´assault weapons´´ immeidately.So will all the independent criminals.And as soon as they finish collecting every last one of those in this country, then they can start on the legal, law abiding gun owners.That should buy us a little time, as in forever...

Remember when the liberal Democrats and their anti-gun allies used to call for banning all "assault rifles", well they are not calling for that anymore.Their new agenda is to call for all "assault weapons" to be banned that could possibly hold any sort of clip or magazine that holds more them 10 rounds of ammunition. If that were to happen, just about every modern semi-automatic handgun and rifle now sold in this country would be banned, and the law abiding population of this country would be disarmed, because of the homicidal criminal actions of several crazy people.Elections have consequences, and this proposed action to ban all modern firearms in the USA by the liberal Democrats is one of the first consequences of the election.No doubt millions of narrow minded conservatives stayed home because they would not vote for a Mormon. Obviously they left the barn door open for the liberal Democrats and their allies in the anti-gun groups who are now getting ready to drive right through that open door.

Where is congress when the fog near Fresno, CA causes 100 car pile ups and kills a number of people? Those damn cars should be banned; especially the models whose occupants were murdered. These cars are a danger to mankind. I am sure we can find the California Senators leading the mob to ban those cars. Maybe even require every car to mount 10 headlights on them. And maybe limit the gas tanks to 5 gallons each. This will solve the problem. Amen Click Here if you Like this Comment

"Looking sinister", #20, could be part of its appeal to sick ones. Call me whatever, but I don´t think I have a problem with banning assault weapons. Yes, maybe the mobsters would manage to keep some of theirs, but what´s being contemplated here based on the Mafia rationale - assault weapons wars between the mobsters & their targets who are also armed with assault weapons? We´re going to have to start compromising on some of these issues that get us the sort of reputation that is losing elections. If we don´t soften a little we´ll never win another election. Just my opinion. Moral: Don´t tangle with anyone who might have an illegal assault weapon. Then you don´t have to worry about not having one yourself. Click Here if you Like this Comment

Spousal abusers, stalkers, rapists, robbers and murderers are standing up applauding this great idea to disarm more victims for them. They can´t wait for the people who get a flat in the ´wrong´ part of town, or the store owner/clerk to be disarmed. If one gun is good, ALL of them would be the best, right NY Daily News? Shotguns are easily demonstrated to be more deadly, how about making them the next target, after all handguns go down.Idiotic sheeple in NYC may think they can charm the thug with a screwdriver they have ready to jam into their guts, but the rest of the world knows how this works.

#29, you clearly don´t live in a border state, such as Texas. Every drug runner that crosses into the USA(and they frequently do)is carrying a fully automatic weapon or a semi-auto.

Forget about banning guns! We need to find the guns that committed these crimes, arrest them, and put them in jail with all the other guns that have assaulted people. Obviously we need to make sure the guns have a fair trial by a jury of their peers. I´m sure many decent law-abiding guns would be willing to serve on the jury to see that justice is done. Let´s face it: Some guns are just plain evil. The sooner we get the bad guns off the streets and in prison where they belong, the safer we will all be. Click Here if you Like this Comment

World Titles Shouldn't Spin
This petition is for all the WWE Fans who are fed up with the WWE Championship belt. The belt is meant to be something of honor, the old belt was held by the truly great wrestlers in the business: Andre, Hulk Hogan, Eddie Guerero, Bret Hart, The Rock and the list of greats just goes on. Most recent WWE Belt, excluding the spinner and Rated-R, dates from 2002-2005 And the belt before that dates back to 1963! Those belts had history, those belts had class. So who cares if your making money off of the 12 year olds who love the belt, if they grow up with that then they won't be true wrestling fans. I grew up with the WWE Championship looking like a championship should. Bring it back.

Are China and Japan Heading Toward Conflict?
China's recent declaration of an air defense identification zone and territorial disputes in the East China and South China seas have led to...
Speakers: Jeffrey Bader, John C. Whitehead Senior Fellow for International Diplomacy; Brookings Institution; Former Senior Director for East Asian Affairs, National Security Council
Karl W. Eikenberry, William J. Perry Fellow for International Studies, Stanford University; Former U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan; Lieutenant General, U.S. Army (Retired)
Michael J. Green, Senior Vice President for Asia and Japan Chair, Center for Strategic and International Studies; Former Senior Director, Asian Affairs, National Security Council
Presider: Richard N. Haass, President, Council on Foreign Relations
January 28, 2014
China's recent declaration of an air defense identification zone and territorial disputes in the East China and South China seas have led to increased tensions between China and its neighbors. Jeffrey Bader of the Brookings Institution, former ambassador Karl Eikenberry, and Michael Green from the Center for Strategic and International Studies sit down with CFR President Richard Haass to discuss what actions the United States can take to ensure stability in the region.
This meeting is part of the "What to Do About" series, which highlights specific issues and features experts who put forward competing analyses and policy prescriptions in a mock high-level U.S. government meeting.
Michael Green on whether China's territorial claims in the East China Sea portend increasing disorder in East Asia:
"But in the middle of it, you have a rising China that, for the most part, is not a revisionist power, that wants to benefit from the international system, despite frustrations with not having had a role in creating it, but not trying to overturn the prevailing order, which is an American-led order."
Jeffrey Bader on how the United States has tried to reduce the risk of conflict over the Senkaku Islands while also demonstrating support for Japan:
"And, you know, what we've tried to communicate to the Japanese is, the alliance is firm and seamless, but please don't make rocks the centerpiece of the alliance."
Karl Eikenberry on the inter-connectedness of the U.S. and Chinese economies:
"So I've heard people now talk about, do you remember during the Cold War days that we had mutually assured destruction with nuclear weapons? Now people talk about mutually assured economic destruction. And that's the world that we live in."

The authors assess the political, security, and economic challenges facing U.S. policymakers in Afghanistan and evaluate a range of policy options.
Special operations play a critical role in how the United States confronts irregular threats, but to have long-term strategic impact, the author argues, numerous shortfalls must be addressed.

Stockholm is a place I travel to frequently for work, and the Sheraton has become a home away from home for me. The staff are friendly, and customer service is probably the best in town. I have found Derrick and Frey, 2 of the staff members, to always have a positive, upbeat attitude.
The Sheraton is comfortable, clean, and very convenient. Attributes that are a must in my book!
I look forward to my return to the city.

The Sheraton in Stockholm is in my opinion one of the better run Starwood hotels in Europe. I have been staying there several times in the past 2 years and have found them every time flexible to adjust to my time schedule, outgoing, friendly, and conveniently located in the heart of the city. The overall professionalism indicates a good and customer oriented management focus.An absolute must to stay there when in Stockholm.

Cubao No. 4 Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 5 of 5 reviews
"Super smoke great price"
Just had my first Cubao Robusto and what a nice surprise...I think this will become my go to every day smoke...
Herb in Dana Point Ca. June 7, 2013
"Great smoke!"
Bought a 5-pack on a whim, very happy that I did. I like fuller strength cigars and this one did not disappoint. It's definitely on par with the Oliva V serie, which I love. Also, the Joya de Nicaragua Antono natural. Try them if you like full flavored cigars, not for the faint of heart!
Richard in Huntsville, Alabama June 24, 2012
"Good Taste"
Like everyone it seems I got this in a sampler, turns out it was the best cigar of the bunch. The taste was great, it burned perfectly, my only complaint is the draw could have been easier. I liked it so much I bought I five pack when it went on sale.
Mike in Reno May 17, 2012
"A tortoise in the humidor, a hair in the lounge."
This little, seemingly unexciting, and might I say plane looking stick would have never caught my eye in the humidor if it wasn't stuck inside a variety pack I purchased with some Rocky's. This is one of those foot-in-mouth moments because out of the humidor and into the lounge it performs magnificently. It burns great, full flavored but not as strong as you might think. It's a smooth pleasant smoke and would recommended it to anyone who isn't a fan of drawn out after taste. By the next day, I couldn't taste it at all. Perfect!
Tom R in Albuquerque, NM January 12, 2011
"Great smoke in an unlikely package"
I received this Cubao No. 4 in a bundle I purchased at a cigar shop. I was more interested in the Rocky Patel's it came with but when I finally decided light up the little, seemingly out of place cigar in the corner of my humidor, I was absolutely surprised! It's very consistent, mild, but full of flavor. And what a finish... where I go a couple days with a smokes after taste lingering on my pallet, this Cubao stuck around nicely for a short time after I finished it then by the next morning it was gone. Perfect!

Who wants to live in Len McCluskey's Britain?
Ever anxious to calm the situation, the ameliorative leader of the trade union Unite has just made a conciliatory speech in which he said that after listening all weekend to George Harrison and Ravi Shankar albums he had decided to fix on the goal of international peace and brotherly love. Donning a kaftan, Len McCluskey said that while there had been some negative energy flowing between the Labour leadership and Unite of late, over candidate selection and Ed Miliband's attempts to lead his own party, he (Len) was from now on going to approaching things in a newly transcendental and positive frame of mind.
No, OK, Len McCluskey didn't do any of that. Actually he unleashed a bizarre rant via a webcast to Union members in which he laid down the law to the Labour leader and castigated the party over the way in which it has handled the investigation into allegations of a fandango in Falkirk. McCluskey likes to range far and wide, sneering at the rich (which doesn't cover very well-paid trade union leaders it seems) and beating up on Tony Blair, a Labour leader who had the temerity to win three general elections.
McCluskey said today that he supports Ed Miliband's proposed reforms on party funding, which could mean an end to the political levy as currently constituted, but only it seems fair to assume because the new arrangements might give him and other unions extra power over policy and candidate selection. In this way Miliband's attempt to diminish the power of the trade unions is going to be used by unions bosses to secure more power. What a mess.
But the overwhelming feeling his rants induce in this observer is mild depression leavened with the thought that the Unite agenda is unlikely to be very popular in most of the country. Who wants to live in a country run by Len McCluskey or according to his doctrines? What a narrow, divisive, bleak and outmoded approach he embodies.
For all the tedious screeching about "werkin' peeeple" one gets the impression that the only "werkin' people" of which Len approves are those people working in jobs where they can be members of Unite or of the other large unions. The rest of us are bourgeois lackeys and capitalist running dogs, no matter how hard any of us work. Dare to get on or become modestly affluent in any way other than becoming a trade union leader and you are "rich". And being "rich" obviously involves leaching off, you guessed it, the "werkin' people".
I don't envy Ed Miliband having to deal with McCluskey and his colleagues at Unite, but it does present an opportunity. The Labour leader may comfort himself that hardly anyone is paying attention to such subjects, what with the weather and the Royal Baby, but over time this McCluskey drivel seeps into the public consciousness. Here is a big shouty man, shouting on the television, sneering about Labour's procedures and making angry demands of a younger man (David Something, or is that the other brother?) who says he want to be Prime Minister but hasn't convinced you yet and you suspect he never will.
Miliband desperately needs to project some positivity and find ways of suggesting that he has some mildly uplifting ideas about the country. Defining himself very robustly as the antithesis of Len McCluskey is a good start.

"Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of MP-376 Administered for 14 Days to Stable Pediatric (CF) Patients"

- How to Read a Study Record
Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) suffer from chronic infections of the lower respiratory tract that can be caused by one or multiple bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which has been particularly problematic to eradicate and been implicated as the major cause of morbidity and mortality in CF patients. Aerosol delivery of antibiotics directly to the lung increases the local concentrations of antibiotic at the site of infection resulting in improved antimicrobial effects compared to systemic administration. Bacterial resistance to current aerosol antibiotic treatments indicate a need for improved therapies to treat CF patients with pulmonary infections caused by multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other bacteria. High concentrations of MP-376 delivered directly to the lung are projected to have antimicrobial effects on even the most resistant organisms. MP-376 is a novel formulation of the fluoroquinolone levofloxacin that has been optimized for aerosol delivery using the PARI electronic eFlow® nebulizer. Preclinical and early clinical studies in adults show that aerosol doses of MP-376 appear to be safe and well tolerated, and exert an antimicrobial effect when administered once or twice daily. High concentrations of levofloxacin in the lung delivered using MP-376 are expected to be active against CF pathogens such as P. aeruginosa and S. aureus, including those resistant to aminoglycosides (such as TOBI®) and other inhaled antimicrobial agents. Inhaled MP-376 can be delivered rapidly and efficiently using the PARI eFlow® nebulizer system. This Phase 1 study is being performed to obtain safety, tolerability and PK data in children ages 6-16 in order to determine if MP-376 is safe, prior to enrolling children of these ages in the planned pivotal Phase 3 studies.

This collaboration will be the first large-scale effort of computer and behavioral scientists to jointly address diagnosing and intervening early in the lives of those with Autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
ASD, which refers to a group of complex neurodevelopmental disorders that cause social, communication and behavioral impairments in children and adults, currently affects 1 in 110 children in the United States. In addition, ASD has a substantial economic impact on society, with the lifetime cost of care for those with ASD exceeding $3 million per person.
Over the past several years, Media Lab researchers have developed a number of technologies to track and measure emotional states, and, working with the ASD community, refined them into specialized tools. These technologies include novel wearable physiological sensors and corresponding software that can be used to measure variables such as heart rate and skin conductivity — indicators of internal stress and arousal. These technologies provide new, more precise ways to understand behavior, and will help individuals with ASD communicate cognitive and emotional states, as well as help others — scientists, therapists, teachers, caregivers — to understand those states.
Along with colleagues at the other institutions included in the grant — Georgia Tech, Carnegie Mellon, the University of Southern California, Boston University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign — the Media Lab team will apply its expertise to the building of test beds and methodologies for capturing behavior data accurately and noninvasively, resulting in a more objective, data-driven approach to behavioral assessment. This multi-year, multi-step program will include research in computer vision, audio and speech analysis, and physiological recording with wireless sensors.
This NSF-funded collaborative project aims to combine computer science and behavioral science to create an entirely new field of inquiry: computational behavior science. Just as medical imaging such as MRIs or X-rays have allowed doctors to identify and treat previously unobservable problems (a brain tumor, aneurysm, a broken bone), computational behavior science aims to quantify behavioral dynamics in a concrete and objective way.

Mares MV Octo
Rating: Review of MV Octopus 5/20/2008 I was very happy with this regulator overall. I have a Dacor Viper as my my primary regulator so this was an easy decision. The one thing I did not like was that it tended to free flow when I had it attached to my BCD but that stopped when I diconnected it from the octopus holder. Was this review helpful?

A Quick Note About Process Improvement Versus Process Obliteration

One week ago, the globe celebrated one of the most important annual events of our times – "International Talk Like a Pirate Day". For those who are unaware, this is an idea that went viral back in 2002 when Dave Barry mentioned the activities of a small group of pirate talkers. From that humble beginning was brought forth the international phenomenon of spending one day going "Avast" and "Ahoy" and "Ayyy, matey" and "Shiver me timbers" and talking rum and parrots and dead men's' chests while sounding like there is a hunk of sea water stuck in your throat.

Attention all Disney fans!!!! I've got a question for you. How many of you have had the chance to visit the new Cars Land at Disneyland? (Well, actually, to be picky, Disney California Adventure – but, you get the gist of the question.) Have you seen this amazing addition? Have you ridden the new rides? Is there anyone who has visited who doesn't believe the experience of visiting Radiator Springs doesn't harken back to the magical experience we all remember from our first visit to a Disney park?

A while ago, the following question came up in a LinkedIn discussion group. "What do you know now that you wish you would have known when you were graduating from college?" Most of the group responded with answers such as learning oral and written communication, understanding the other person's perspective, thinking beyond the text, showing initiative, taking calculated risks, etc.

For the last two days we've been reviewing an issue of The Internal Auditor from August 1987 with the intent of determining how much things have changed in internal auditing over the last 25 years, as well as how much they've stayed the same. In the first two posts we discussed the advertising, a recurring column, and one of the articles. The discussions wound up primarily focusing on the impact of computers on the business and internal audit. So, it's time to move on to other things by looking at three more articles.

And so, we come to the end of our voyage. Over the last three days we have been going through an issue of The Internal Auditor from August 1987 to determine how much the profession has changed and how much it has stayed the same over that time. We've looked at advertising, columns, and articles. Now, there is a final article I want to review — an article by Ronald L. Bell, the 1987 Chairman of the Board of the IIA.

This is part two of an exploration into Internal Audit's past. Yesterday we began looking through an issue of The Internal Auditor from August 1987. The idea was to see how much things have changed in our profession and how much things have stayed the same. Today, let's start looking at some of the actual articles.

Okay, maybe more like twenty-nine years ago last month – that's how long I've been in Internal Audit. I can only guess that it was because of that experience someone recently asked me to reflect on the differences that have occurred within internal audit over those almost thirty years. My mental faculties have not deteriorated to such a point where I am unable to conjure up a memory or two from that long ago era, so it was a relatively easy task.

Ticket #253 (new defect)
Making a quiet nan results in an infinite loop on a bifferboard
Reported by: | richi@… | Owned by: | xi |
Priority: | normal | Component: | pyyaml |
Severity: | normal | Keywords: | nan |
Cc: |
I want to install ros (robot operating system) on a bifferboard running debian squeeze. I had the same problem also with lenny and ros electric. The bifferboard is a small device running a 486 compatible CPU at 140 MHz. I followed the tutorial on http://www.ros.org/wiki/fuerte/Installation/Debian and the first few steps work, but rosinstall always freezes. I can have it running for a week, and it just uses the CPU and only a small amount of memory.
Executing the following results in an infinite loop:
#rosinstall --catkin ~/ros-underlay http://ros.org/rosinstalls/fuerte-ros-base.rosinstall
When I terminate it with ctrl-c, I get the following call stack:
^CTraceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/rosinstall", line 5, in <module> pkg_resources.run_script('rosinstall==0.6.17', 'rosinstall') File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 467, in run_script self.require(requires)[0].run_script(script_name, ns) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 1200, in run_script execfile(script_filename, namespace, namespace) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/rosinstall-0.6.17-py2.6.egg/EGG-INFO/scripts/rosinstall", line 5, in <module> from rosinstall.rosinstall_cli import rosinstall_main File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/rosinstall-0.6.17-py2.6.egg/rosinstall/rosinstall_cli.py", line 53, in <module> import yaml File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/yaml/__init__.py", line 8, in <module> from loader import * File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/yaml/loader.py", line 8, in <module> from constructor import * File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/yaml/constructor.py", line 161, in <module> class SafeConstructor(BaseConstructor): File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/yaml/constructor.py", line 257, in SafeConstructor inf_value *= inf_value KeyboardInterrupt
The offending lines in /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/yaml/constructor.py are as follows :
inf_value = 1e300 while inf_value != inf_value*inf_value: inf_value *= inf_value nan_value = -inf_value/inf_value # Trying to make a quiet NaN (like C99).
Might be because the bifferboard doesn't have an FPU? https://sites.google.com/site/bifferboard/Home/howto/qemu
some more info that might be relevant:
# cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : CyrixInstead cpu family : 4 model : 1 model name : Cx486SLC stepping : unknown fdiv_bug : yes hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : no fpu_exception : no cpuid level : -1 wp : yes flags : bogomips : 49.15 clflush size : 32 power management: # python --version Python 2.6.7 #python >>> inf_value = 1e300 >>> print inf_value 1e+300 >>> print inf_value*inf_value nan >>> print inf_value != inf_value*inf_value True >>> inf_value *= inf_value >>> print inf_value nan >>> print inf_value*inf_value nan >>> print inf_value != inf_value*inf_value True # apt-cache show python-yaml | grep Version Version: 3.09-5
I'm not a pythong expert, but the above results look strange to me. Executing it on my workstation, gives the results I would expect:
$ python --version Python 2.7.3 $ python >>> inf_value = 1e300 >>> print inf_value 1e+300 >>> print inf_value*inf_value inf >>> print inf_value != inf_value*inf_value True >>> inf_value *= inf_value >>> print inf_value != inf_value*inf_value False
Comparing the two, It looks like the bifferboard has no inf in addition to strangely handling nan. I don't know If python should handle that and how. But it might be good, if yaml prepared for such cpu's.
I applied a quick hack, as I don't think I'll use nan or inf on that device. I don't think that's a good solution, but it's better than an infinite loop.
inf_value = 1e300 loop_count = 10 while inf_value != inf_value*inf_value and loop_count > 0: inf_value *= inf_value loop_count -= 1 nan_value = -inf_value/inf_value # Trying to make a quiet NaN (like C99).
Change History
comment:1 Changed 20 months ago by richi@…
Searching the web for further information, I came across http://bugs.python.org/issue1635 . And here is what the bifferboard prints for these instructions:
repr(1e300 * 1e300)
repr(1e300 * 1e300 * 0)
repr(1e300 * 1e300 * -1)

World Hunger Ministries
Sharing Our Abundance
Welcome to the Community of Christ World Hunger Web site. We encourage you to navigate freely among the pages while you learn more about the World Hunger Fund, the team that administers the fund, and the many ways you can assist in ministering to the needs of the hungry of the world. —Alex Kahtava, World Hunger-Tangible Love Team Lead
Our Vision
Our vision is of a world in which the abundance of food that God has provided is fairly and justly distributed, all are fed, and there is peace in all the earth.
Our Mission
Sharing our abundance, we seek to make a difference in a world where far too many are poor and hungry. Our three-fold mission is to support a program of ministries to hungry people throughout the world by funding agencies and projects seeking to provide relief and release, educating about hunger-related issues, and encouraging individual church members to advocate with governmental representatives on behalf of the hungry.
The World Hunger Fund was established by World Conference resolution in 1978 (GCR 1148). It provides in part for a program to be established to "facilitate opportunities for those interested and motivated to participate in additional ways beyond the fasting discipline and to add these funds to the support of ministries directed toward problems of world hunger."
In 1979 the First Presidency established the World Hunger Fund as a special part of the Oblation Fund. Its purpose is to provide funds to alleviate hunger, and to educate persons about hunger issues and advocate on behalf of the hungry. A World Hunger Team (now World Hunger-Tangible Love Funding Team) was appointed to review requests and make recommendations to the First Presidency.
As a church we have been collecting and distributing contributions for world hunger since 1980. Our efforts have been blessed. Millions of dollars have been received and distributed to benefit many worthy projects around the world. As additional resources are gathered, the World Hunger Team will continue in its task of reviewing projects and funding proposals. Our prayer is that the Spirit of Jesus Christ will continue to inspire generous support.
