11 Pine Hill Road, Southborough
Home size: 6,400 square feet
Rooms: 12, with five bedrooms, five-and-one-half baths
Lot size: Two acres
Year built: 1983
Taxes: $13,869
Asking price: $1.3 million
Home custom built by master craftsman/owner. Expanded through the years to include full two-story in-law or nanny suite. All utilities are separate. Main home has huge, entertainment-size, first-floor space. Granite, stainless and gleaming hardwoods. Five bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths. Fireplaces heated with propane. Custom wood moldings and raised paneling abound. Master bedroom with fireplace and balcony looks out on two acres.
Thirty odd years ago Rick and Terri Fairfield sold their house across the street to move into his parents' home at 11 Pine Hill Road in Southborough. Rick Fairfield, a builder, set to work renovating the place. What started as a 2,300-square-foot Colonial is today a complex of 6,400 square feet, not counting an additional 3,000 square feet in the adjoining two-story barn.
One wing is a separate in-law apartment, built for his parents, with its own heat, electricity and laundry. In the bedroom, skylights in the 12-foot cathedral ceiling fill the room with sun. "That side of the house always gets the best light," Terri Fairfield says. Since the house is zoned for two-family use, the in-law apartment potentially may be used as a rental unit.
At the other end of the complex stands the two-story barn, which appears to be antique, but actually was built in the early 1990s. Heated by propane, the downstairs is used by Fairfield as a workshop, while the spacious second floor is open.
From the barn, one enters the main house via a mudroom to what in the old layout was the garage - now a pool table room with fireplace. At the point where the old house ended are a kitchen, eating area and family room.
Rick Fairfield used to be in the awning business - he recalled providing a tent for 10,000 people at one event at Harvard Business School. His home presented another project to which he could apply his skills. "He did all the work himself," said listing agent Donna Warren-Holmes. He built the dining-room table, did the stonework in the fireplaces, and constructed the beam ceiling and built-ins in the family room. "It was a labor of love," she said.
Upstairs, in the master suite, an area for his and hers closets is done in birch hardwood with a checkerboard pattern on the floor. Rows of built-in bureau drawers provide space for clothing. A door opens to reveal shoe racks. The master bath is bright with a transom window above a clawfoot tub.
In the master bedroom, the coffered ceiling rises 15 feet. From the balcony deck, Terri Fairfield said she has had a fine vantage point from which to watch her husband play golf in the backyard where a professional-style putting green has been laid out, 69 feet from tee to flag, planted with special Providence bentgrass that is watered by underground sprinklers.
The basement, with separate heat and electricity and full bath, could be used as a playroom or a theater suite. Separate stairways lead to the main house and in-law wing.
The home is situated on two acres. The septic system has been inspected and approved. The house is on well water and heated by oil upstairs and electricity on the basement level.
The location is desirable for commuters, minutes from the commuter rail, Rte. 9, Interstate 495 and the Mass. Turnpike. Southborough schools are highly regarded. Rick Fairfield said: "This house is deserving of a young family." "With a chocolate lab," Terri Fairfield added.
They themselves plan to "find another fixer-upper," Rick Fairfield said.
"The house has gone through many transitions as our family has changed," he said. "It's going to be tough to let it go: my blood, sweat and tears went into this place. But with the kids grown, the place is too big for us."
Warren-Holmes said: "This house is really one of a kind in the town of Southborough. I don't know of another with the acreage, the ambience and the multiple uses."

Erlin likely headed toward second MRI exam
By Erik Bacharach / MLB.com
PHILADELPHIA -- Robbie Erlin was examined by team doctors over the weekend, and he will most likely have another MRI exam as he recovers from left elbow soreness.
Erlin hit the disabled list on May 22, retroactive to May 18. He had an MRI exam on May 21 that showed some fluid in his elbow. He had complained of elbow soreness following each of his previous three starts.
The left-hander is 3-4 with a 4.53 ERA in nine appearances, including eight starts.
"He was examined, and I think they want to have one more MRI, one more look to compare it to where he was like three weeks ago when they did it the last time," Black said. "So they're going to compare that and then see if he's good to go as far as getting back on a throwing program."
Tim Stauffer has pitched in Erlin's spot in the rotation.
Padres' Quackenbush yields little after callup
PHILADELPHIA -- Kevin Quackenbush was summoned in the bottom of the eighth inning with one out and the bases loaded on Tuesday night against the Phillies. The 25-year-old righty won a nine-pitch battle with Marlon Byrd before getting Domonic Brown to whiff on a curveball to end the inning.
Quackenbush owns a 2.93 ERA, and opposing batters are hitting just .140 off him through 15 1/3 innings. In seven appearances since May 27, Quackenbush has seven scoreless innings, allowing two hits and a walk while striking out six.
"He's throwing the ball well," Padres manager Bud Black said. "I think he's gaining confidence. He's pitching with more conviction with his pitches. I think early on he was a little tentative, but now he's settled in."
Black added that Quackenbush drew a lot of praise from his Minor League coaches after posting a 1.26 ERA in 14 1/3 innings pitched and converting all six of his save chances for Triple-A El Paso early this season.
Still, Quackenbush remains a candidate to be sent back down to the Minors as the Padres plan to call a pitcher up to start on Saturday.
"When we activate a pitcher on Saturday, it's going to be a tough move for someone," Black said.
Gettys among flurry of Padres Draft signings
PHILADELPHIA -- The Padres announced on Wednesday that they had signed Michael Gettys, an outfielder from Gainesville High School in Georgia, for $1.3 million, pending a physical. The 6-foot-2 speedster was San Diego's second-round pick and the 51st overall selection in the 2014 First-Year Player Draft.
Other San Diego draft picks to sign on Wednesday include: left-handed pitcher Thomas Dorminy (10th round), right-handed pitcher Seth Lucio (12th round), right-handed pitcher Chris Huffman (14th round), left-handed pitcher Taylor Cox (16th round), right-handed pitcher T.J. Weir (17th round), left-handed pitcher Max MacNabb (18th round), right-handed pitcher Tyler Wilson (20th round), right-handed pitcher Aaron Cressley (26th round), catcher Mike Fitzgerald (27th round), left-handed pitcher Ryan Atwood (30th round) and right-handed pitcher Tyler Wood (37th round).

Does anyone have any hints on where I should begin, where I should start my Trek Book adventures? Thanks!

Last 10: Toronto 4-2-4; Ottawa 7-1-2
The Toronto Maple Leafs are looking to earn at least a point in an eighth straight game Saturday night as they visit the Ottawa Senators, who have been on a decent run of their own.
In what is the most meaningful "Battle of Ontario" in the last few years, it's more than just pride on the line; it's home-ice advantage and two teams sizing each other up as potential first-round matchups. Toronto is trying on their new look as a playoff team for the first time in 8 years and Ottawa is revelling in their depth as a team that has been able to stave off huge injuries to Jason Spezza, Erik Karlsson and Chris Anderson with seemingly no drop-off in performance.
Ottawa has beefed up with with new addition of Matt Kassian since the teams last met. As teams have started moving back to dressing an enforcer (or 3, in Toronto's case) Ottawa will want to make sure they have the physical intimidation side of the game covered off. Chris Neil has a lower body injury and will be a game time decision.
Season series: Fourth of five meetings between these Northeast Division rivals. Toronto currently has a 2-1 edge, with the home team winning each game.
Who's hot: Lupul now has a five-game goal streak for the Maple Leafs, scoring seven times in that span. Phaneuf has goals in consecutive games and comes off a three-point effort Thursday. Tyler Bozak has a goal and four assists in the past two games. … Colin Greening has goals in consecutive games for the Senators. Zibanejad has five assists in his past four games. Bishop has won four straight starts.

Most Ethernet clusters don't have a problem with EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference), but it's something to keep in mind when designing a large system or your own enclosure. EMI and electrical/fire safety are often forgotten elements of putting together clusters. In general Ethernet is relatively immune to EMI with short runs. However within a cluster the situation is worse than you might guess from non-cluster experience. Most of the network traffic is synchronized, and coincides with power-use spikes. [[ OK, ok, that was primarily to point out why this topic is relevant to the Beowulf list. ]] Here are a few points to keep in mind: Bad connections are responsible for most of the generated EMI: don't un-twist pairs or strain the cable at the connector. Kinked, crimped or stretched cables are very bad: use 10X diameter (typical: 2" radius) around corners with UTP Generating EMI and noise susceptibility are often symmetrical: a good antenna works both for Tx and Rx. 10baseT generates a strong electrical noise spike at 20Mhz while active. 100baseTx operates continuously and spreads the noise, but some data patterns can generate strong noise spikes (look up 4B/5B). Gigabit copper puts more energy into the cable, but has less chance of a single frequency noise spike (8B/10B). Gigabit transceivers are designed to handle "echoing" mismatched cables, but are relatively more susceptible to external noise. You should pick cluster software or hardware control that doesn't use a KVM switch. Using a KVM switch results in far more cables, and thus more opportunities for emitted EMI. It's easy to filter noise from the power cable, which operates at 60Hz. It's somewhat harder for keyboard and mouse (which have sharp 5V swings from very busy chips), difficult for Ethernet (1V carefully rounded waveforms from network-only transceivers), and very difficult for video (1V sharp-edged pattern filled signals). > My gut feeling is that good quality shielded cables will be the first > line of defense, however I'm concerned about radiated emission levels > at the connectors. It's counterintuitive, but UTP (unshielded twisted pair) is often better than STP (screened/shielded twisted pair). The metallic shield can couple a point source of noise or imbalance to the make the whole shield an antenna. On a general note: Most clusters are built using steel cases on steel shelves or a rack. This provides both shielding along with electrical and fire safety. Don't use an open frame design unless you have an overall metal enclosure. Think about fires before using wood or plastic, even for shelves. -- Donald Becker becker at scyld.com Scyld Computing Corporation http://www.scyld.com 410 Severn Ave. Suite 210 Second Generation Beowulf Clusters Annapolis MD 21403 410-990-9993 _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf

BEAVERTON, Ore.—Eddie Vanderdoes is a California boy, so being from the West Coast, he was quite curious about the opposing linemen from the South he would go up against at Nike's The Opening last weekend in Oregon.
Schools from the South—more specifically the SEC—have won the past six national championships and Vanderdoes wants to learn more about how that happened. Vanderdoes is one of only three uncommitted members in the top 10 of the Sporting News Top 125.
Many pundits say the difference between the football played in the SEC and the rest of the country is the talent on the defensive line. That's Vanderdoes' position—he could play defensive end or defensive tackle interchangeably with his 6-4, 285-pound frame.
"It's almost like a culture change being around the southern guys," Vanderdoes told Sporting News at the camp. "If you compare them to the California and West Coast guys, they just take it a lot more personally. They're more physical. When they're going against you in drills, it just seems like they have a bigger purpose—that they're representing everything that backs them up back home."
Naturally, that has made Vanderdoes curious about what it would be like to play in the SEC, even though he's solidly behind Pac-12 battle lines. He has set up an official visit with LSU for the first week of November, and he already has a good relationship with defensive line coach Brick Haley and said he has enjoyed talking to head coach Les Miles.
"With LSU, there's definitely a curiosity there because it's like 'D-line U' down there at LSU," Vanderdoes said. "Me and Coach Haley have kicked it off and Coach Miles, he's a great guy. It's 'D-line U' and would be a great overall fit for myself."
Vanderdoes also has drawn scholarship offers from these SEC schools: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Ole Miss and Tennessee.
But standing in the way of any team from the South wooing the defensive lineman away from home is USC. The Trojans are one of the teams to beat, considering they're closer to his Placer (Calif.) home. Many of the 11 current USC commitments have been recruiting him hard—especially at The Opening.
"(The USC recruits) aren't shooting pitches at me and telling me all about USC, I've just been talking to them a lot and I know all of them; they're great," Vanderdoes said. "I've talked a lot to (QB Max) Browne and (WR Sebastian) LaRue. LaRue is a funny guy. I have a good relationship with them and I've talked to Hutch (LB Michael Hutchings) all the time. … They just talk up USC, but the program speaks for itself. They don't have to shoot pitches at you if it's USC—it's a national power."
Oregon and Nebraska are two other schools up high on Vanderdoes' list, while schools such as Baylor, Cal, Penn State, UCLA and Washington have also offered and have made his top-10 cut.
"I'm probably a 7 out of 10 for burnout, maybe lower at a 6," Vanderdoes said of the intensity of recruiting right now, with seven months until signing day. "A year ago I would have been a zero because I wasn't getting attention and I wanted to get it. But now that I am, it'll wear you out."
After the camp, when the accolades were handed out, Vanderdoes picked up the defensive lineman MVP honors—even though he missed the last sliver of camp because of a slight injury to his right shoulder. He was shaking hands lefthanded by the end of camp—partly due to the physicality of the drills.
By his own admission, he went against some mean offensive linemen. Mean in a good way, though.
"I wanted to go against (Florida State recruit) Ira (Denson)," Vanderdoes said. "He is the best offensive lineman in the whole nation, I think. He and (Delaware product) Khaliel Rodgers are the best two in the nation. You can't get past Ira.
"I'm bummed that I got injured in the end because I want to be on television and everything. I was excited about that. It's nice when other players are trying to go at you hard. It's a compliment because they realize who you are."

Interesting topic for discussion I think.
I personally gave up riding in "groups" back in the 1970s. Too many variables, to many agendas.
Disregarding my own judgement I participated a ride last spring. It started out innocently enough; ten bikes from our local classic bike club (guys I've known for years). We were going to take a series of twisty, two-lane, back roads to the Solvang Vintage Motorcycle Museum. Somewhere along the line several other clubs were invited (by someone) to rendezvous with us at two intermediate stops. By the time we were ready to pull out of the gas station there were over fifty motorcycles in the group. I have to imagine how the final sixty mile ride went because I pulled out and headed home.
As the old saying goes, two's company and three's a crowd. Four bikes is my absolute limit. What's yours?

The basics
Columbus (4-0-2; 14 points; 2nd place Eastern Conference) vs. New York (5-3-0); 15 points; 1st place Eastern Conference) at Red Bull Arena, Harrison, N.J.
TV info
What's at stake?
With a win, Columbus can dethrone New York and claim the top spot in the East. With two games in hand, three points at Red Bull Arena would be huge for Columbus in their attempt at a third straight conference championship. Columbus faces a stretch without several key stars due to the World Cup, so they need a win here.
Last meeting
New York beat then-defending champs Columbus by the minimum differential when Dane Richards scored in the 63rd minute last August at Giants Stadium. The rivals played an ugly one, with three yellow cards shown to each team. A week earlier, New York had beaten FC Dallas for their first win in more than three months. The win over the Crew marked the first time the Red Bulls had won consecutive games in league play since August of 2008.
Heroes & Villains ...
Injuries vs. Call-ups & Suspensions: It was just two weeks ago that New York head coach Hans Backe said that he was pleased to have so many outfield players fit and healthy. Now, with Ibrahim Salou likely out at least two weeks, Brian Nielsen dinged up, continued knee problems for Carl Robinsion and Joel Lindpere straining his groin, the Red Bulls are down a few starters. Columbus have their own depth issues, with national team call-ups for the World Cup and Guillermo Barros Schelotto suspended. Whoever has the strongest bench might just win.
Lenhart vs. Petke: Without Schelotto, the only player on the team two break the two-goal barrier with four to his name, the team will look for increased production from Steven Lenhart up top. With good size and deceptive speed on and off the ball, Lenhart could be a handful for the Red Bulls' back line. Playing in his 300th league game on Thursday night, it will be Mike Petke's responsibility to organize the defense. Given the lack of cohesion for the New York offense as of late, the
defense will need to play superb soccer.
Stat that makes you go, "Hmm …"
Despite last week's disappointing loss to Seattle at home, New York is 3-1 at Red Bull Arena. Last year, it took New York until August 23 to notch their third home win.
He said it
"We really believe in each other and what we can do. There isn't any panic, we know what we're capable of and what we need to do. It wasn't an accident that we won five games so far this season." – Red Bulls' defender Mike Petke to MLSsoccer.com after New York's second consecutive loss.

Q. You wrote a piece on bullying that I agreed with for the most part. That was until my second-grader was severely bullied at school by a group of three bullies. They cornered him, sat on him all recess and were only benched for one recess. Do you think that was enough punishment, and please know I do not. They are all in the same class and this teacher always seems to get the behavior problems while the other class has none. There are only two. This is a private school, but the parents talk. Does this happen to put all the bad kids in one class and not in the other or is this only private school where it happens?
A. Children make mistakes in private and public schools, but I agree this was not sufficient punishment for what those children did to your child. The school has to investigate to see who did what, but if it is found that three boys sat or held another child to the ground all recess, this is a serious offense. In a public school, this would lead to suspension with possible further actions. Sometimes investigations reveal a different story than what is told to parents, so the circumstances must be clear.
Your second question on class placement of behavior problems does not have an easy answer. In public and private schools, teachers usually help place kids in their classes for the next year. We try to make balanced classes with behavior problems spread out so they are not in one class. At your school, there are only two classes at your grade level, so you would think each would have a share of problems. If one class has none, and the other has them all, this is likely deliberate. It could be because your child's teacher is good with straightening out behavior problems and she is given the problems, or it could be the school's position that one class is left with no problem behavior. It could also mean your child's teacher just does not have control over her class while the other teacher has more discipline.
I would meet with the principal on this one. Make sure you are comfortable with the resolution, or else explore your options at other private or public schools. Private schools have difficult children to deal with, as do all schools. How we go about protecting the youngsters is important. We cannot stop all kids for behaving badly all of the time, but we should be teaching the, right from wrong. The lesson needs to be clear to those children or they will just do it again.

Perez signs three-year deal with Mets
By Marty Noble / MLB.com
After a season with 17 no-decisions, the most in Mets' history and a big league high of 105 walks, Perez was not pursued as he and agent Scott Boras had hoped. And once the Mets fixed their bullpen, they were unable to meet their secondary objective -- signing Derek Lowe. Perhaps by default, they came to view Perez as a suitable means of filling the void in the rotation that Perez created when he filed for free agency in November.
Now they are back as one following a brief trial separation. The Mets officially announced on Tuesday that they signed the left-hander to a three-year deal. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but reports indicated that the club had agreed to a three-year, $36 million contract with the southpaw. This deal means that the Mets will probably check out of the free-agent market.
If this is the case, the Mets' dance with Pedro Martinez will be their last contact as potential employer-employee. Their rotation now appears to include Perez, Johan Santana, Mike Pelfrey, John Maine, with the fifth slot open to competition among Tim Redding, Freddy Garcia and rookie Jonathon Niese.
So it is that the Mets are about to begin Spring Training with a roster that -- aside from the extensive remodeling of the bullpen -- is quite similar to the roster that ended last season.
The greatest differences outside the 'pen are the departure of Endy Chavez, the acquisition of those who will vie to take his place as the No. 4 outfielder -- Jeremy Reed and Cory Sullivan -- the acquisition of Alex Cora to replace Damion Easley as the primary middle-infield understudy and the signing of Redding and Garcia. All of which is to say that the "regular team" is virtually unchanged except for the bullpen.
The difference for Perez, 27, is that he pitched last season for $6.5 million, a figure established when he prevailed in the Mets' first salary-arbitration case in 16 years. Now, by virtue of the contract he agreed to on Monday, he will earn an annual average of $12 million for three years. A scout familiar with the value of the contract and Perez's performance assessed the contract in these terms -- "That's No. 2 starter money, and he's not a No. 2."
The Mets may not ask Perez to be that if Pelfrey progressed in 2009 as he did last season or if Maine, healthy again, has a full season and performs consistently. But Perez's pay will be undiminished.
Perez's second full season with the Mets produced a 10-7 record and a 4.22 ERA. He started 34 games, pitched 194 innings and, as has been the case through much of his career, he was inconsistent. He did have 16 consecutive starts in which he pitched at least six innings. But that was followed by no-decisions in his last five starts, three of which became Mets losses. His 17 no-decisions were two more than Masato Yoshii in 1998.

Hands on: Nokia Lumia 930 running Windows Phone 8.1
Extra screen real estate and a great camera will please the Nokia faithful, but the curvaceous Lumia body has undergone a utilitarian makeover.
Against the likes of iOS and Android, Windows Phone is always going to struggle to shake the "also-ran" tag in the smartphone race. To be honest nothing Microsoft produces is likely to tempt Android or Apple fans to defect, or vice versa. But when you put aside the tribal rivalry and approach it with an open mind, the Nokia Lumia 930 has a lot going for it and stands as a worthy competitor.
I've looked at the Lumia 920 and Lumia 1020 in the past, so I won't cover too much old ground. Similar to Windows 8 on desktops, notebooks and tablets, Windows Phone 8 is based on live tiles – a cross between an icon and a widget. They're designed around "hubs" like People and Pictures. Alternatively you can flick right to see a full list of apps and "pin" your commonly used apps to the home screen. Microsoft has just announced that you'll soon be able to organise your apps into folders.
The $729 Lumia 930 comes with Windows Phone 8.1 and the latest "Nokia Cyan" update, which brings a range of changes. The most obvious is the pull-down notification bar dubbed "Action Centre" – similar to the pull-down notification bars found on Android and iOS. If you are migrating from these platforms then you'll feel right at home with Action Centre, which offers notifications from apps like Outlook, Messaging and Facebook. It would be nice to see calendar appointments in there to offer a more holistic view of your digital life, but hopefully these will come with time.
Across the top of Action Centre is fast access to commonly used features. The four slots are set to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Flight Mode and Rotation Lock by default, but you can dip into the settings and choose from seven others.
It's not just the Windows Phone interface which has undergone a revamp. Nokia has also changed the design of the handset, moving away from the luscious curved polycarbonate Lumia body to embrace a more utilitarian aluminium design which is reminiscent of the iPhone 4 or HTC's metallic slabs.
The Lumia 930 sports a generous 5-inch display which, combined with the dead-straight aluminium sides, gives it a clunky monolithic look which is unlikely to appeal to fashionistas. It looks big and heavy, even though it's only 9.8mm thick and tips the scales at 167 grams. The dimensions are almost identical to Samsung's Galaxy S5, but the Android superphone looks far more petite.
When it comes to smartphones I prefer substance over style, but I must admit I was quite taken with the original Lumia design and I'm sorry to see it go. There's still a slightly curved colourful polycarbonate backplate on the Lumia 930, but it does little to take the edge off the harsh new design and I don't think it sits as comfortably in the hand. It would be interesting to know whether the design changes have been influenced by Microsoft's growing control over Nokia.
Thankfully the new Lumia is still blessed with a spectacular AMOLED display, offering one of the best smartphone screens on the market with rich colours, deep blacks and excellent viewing angles. The jump to 5 inches brings a 1920x1080 resolution, delivering an impressive 441 pixels per inch with a 16:9 aspect ratio. It's protected by tough Gorilla Glass 3 which does a good job of coping with outdoor glare.
Run your eye down the spec sheet and you'll find most of the mod-cons you'd expect in a flagship smartphone. There's a 2.2 GHz quad-core Qualcomm powerplant with Adreno 330 graphics, accompanied by 2GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage. As for connectivity there's LTE (nano-SIM) along with 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi (2.4 and 5GHz), Bluetooth 4.0, NFC and micro-USB.
There's still no support for a micro-SD card but Microsoft throws in 15GB of online storage, which goes up to 1TB for Office 365 subscribers. There's no micro-HDMI output but there is support for Miracast wireless video mirroring.
The battery should get you through the longest days, assisted by intelligent power and app management without the brutal power-saving options inflicted by some Android devices. Nokia has also reinstated support for wireless charging, which was lost on some earlier Lumias, but the charge pad is an optional extra.
As you'd expect with a Lumia, it's the camera which deserves special attention. The 20-megapixel rear camera is more modest than the 38-megapixel offering from last year's phenomenal Lumia 1020, but it still places the 930 head and shoulders above most rivals. Similar to the 1020, the 930 captures a 5-megapixel JPG and 16-megapixel lossless RAW image whenever you take a photo – creating the illusion of optical zoom when reviewing or cropping images because it can call on the extra detail from the 16-megapixel version.
At first glance the results from the 16-megapixel Samsung Galaxy S5 are on par with the Lumia 930, but once you look closer you'll see the Lumia does a better job of capturing fine detail and performs slightly better in low-light conditions. It helps that the Lumia's sensor is a fraction bigger. You'll need an eye for detail to really appreciate the difference, but such people are exactly the target market for the Lumia range.
The Lumia 930 puts Zeiss optics, optical image stabilisation and a dual-LED flash at your disposal. The optics also help with slightly sharper 1080p video capture than the Galaxy S5, offering significantly smoother panning shots. Here the Lumia's four omni-directional microphones kick in (two on the front and two on the back). You tend not to expect too much from a smartphone mic, but the difference is really clear when compared to the Galaxy S5. The Lumia 930 actually captures in Dolby Surround Sound, with people in the distance sounding clear and indoor echo reduced.
Once you've captured your perfect shot, Nokia also adds little touches like Living Images, which add movement by playing the half-second of video captured before you took the shot. Sure it's a novelty, but it's a really nice touch when you're flicking through family happy snaps. You've also got apps like Nokia Cinemagraph, Nokia Creative Studio and Nokia Storyteller to help turn your photos and videos into something special.
Nokia is rather generous when it comes to pre-installed apps, such as the HERE Drive+, HERE Maps and HERE Transit apps which draw on Nokia's strong mapping and navigation heritage. Meanwhile Microsoft contributes the likes of Office, OneDrive, OneNote, Outlook and Skype, along with Xbox-focused apps such as SmartGlass (although we're still waiting for some Xbox One features in Australia). If you live a Microsoft-centric lifestyle then a Lumia running Windows Phone 8.1 might make a good fit.
Just this week Microsoft announced that the Siri-style Cortana personal assistant is coming to Australian Windows Phone 8.1 devices in the next few months. Microsoft is running an "alpha" program in Australia, Canada and India which will give adopters the chance to opt-in and test it out.
If you don't live a Microsoft-centric lifestyle then you'll need to face the fact that the Windows Phone 8.1 app store still lags behind Apple and Android, and if you commit to the Windows Phone platform you're generally going to be last in line when new official apps and services come along. For example FitBit and Uber, apps which other smartphone users take for granted, have only just arrived on Windows Phone.
Windows Phone fanboys get upset when you throw this in their face, insisting that the ecosystem can meet your every need, but that's a decision which everyone needs to make for themselves – especially if they're contemplating a shift from iOS or Android. Look before you leap. You will find alternatives to many of the missing apps, and sites like xyo.net can help you match Windows Phone Apps to your stable of iOS or Android apps. The gap is reducing.
So what's the verdict? If you're a keen photographer who has snubbed smartphones to date then the Lumia 930 is certainly worth a look. It obviously won't replace your digital SLR but the quality of the shots might surprise you. Anyone who is shopping for their first smartphone should certainly weigh up the Lumias against their rivals, keeping in mind the excellent camera and rich collection of pre-installed apps. Is there enough here to lure you away from iOS or Android? Unlikely, unless you're particularly unhappy where you are and you're looking for change.

text: This International Studies core course will explore several overlapping topics. One subject addressed will be the varied ways that ideas about human rights are understood within different cultures. Another will be the way that styles of social activism and the issues that bring people to the streets in anger have changed over time and continue to differ around the world. A third will be the promise (and limits) of the United Nations as an arbiter of disputes relating to human rights. A fourth will be the complex question of how different sorts of regimes and citizens within different sort of states decide whether violent forms of protest are ever justified. We will explore these issues collectively by reading books and articles on everything from struggles against fascism in 1930s Spain, to the nature of feminism in the former Soviet Union and other parts of Eastern Europe, to debates over human rights in China. We will also study together major documents, such as the U.N.'s Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Guest speakers, who will introduce the class to ways that the subjects of human rights and social movements are dealt with in various disciplines, will play an important role in the course. So, too, will group projects (designed to get small sets of students to focus in together on issues of common interest) and films (shown in class to help students get a sense of what protests look and sound like in other parts of the world).

No ground breaking features❔ Tell me something.. What kind of device do you have, and what makes it so ground breaking❔
16. Username. (banned) (Posts: 74; Member since: 25 Nov 2013)
He is right, the N1020 is the best Nokia has provided, but the Nseries was better.
Wp is a big let down: "it has no apps and games" -"still uses one year old specs"
Wp receives apps 6 months later after iOs and Android.
20. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
That's the dumbest comments I've ever heard.. Are you speaking of best phone in terms of specs❔ The 1520 has much higher specs than the 1020.. Year old specs❔ Sounds like you're just repeating the same old argument from years ago.. We're past that now, and all you have to talk about are a few popular apps, and WP not having octacore processors yet,, then grow up... Try again.

Raising respectful children with good manners is no easy task, but it could help them succeed in school and in life.
Christie Stump worries about how her children will turn out after watching how some children behave.
"Absolutely," said Stump. "Respecting our elders, I don't' think is something that's taught as much as it was."
Could reality TV, racy movies and music be to blame for some kids being more disrespectful? Psychotherapist Karen Ruskin believes that is not the problem.
"Parents are the difference that makes the difference. I believe that there are parents that think they're doing really great parenting, and it's not really great parenting," said Dr. Ruskin.
Parents in metro Detroit Local 4 spoke with said they believe parents are responsible for raising respectful children.
"It may be the way that they're raised," said Chelsea Schuckman of Brownstown.
"I think it's the parenting. I think that parenting is, has, is not what it once was," said Michael Popp, a Caseville father. "I just think that with the two parent family people are so, so busy these days, that it's one of those things that's kind of fallen to the side I think."
"I think there is a lot of pressure on the parents," said mom Leah Fulton.
A big mistake parents make is not stopping their kids when they're disrespectful to other children.
"They don't use it as a learning opportunity for their child and you know what, that child becomes an adult that is rude and nasty to others," said Ruskin.
Ruskin also said it is important for parents to set clear boundaries. For example, telling children they need to knock before entering their parents' bedroom if the door is closed. She said parents should do the same for their children.
According to livestrong.com, other advice to help turn a child's unruly behavior around is to keep a handle on your own temper. Children can be disrespectful in order to get a rise out of their parents and paying attention or becoming angry at their rude behavior can make the situation worse.
Parents should ban name calling and insults because if children see adults do it, they will think it's acceptable behavior.
Consider given children choices. If they throw a temper tantrum when you ask them to do something, letting them off the hook only reinforces the behavior. Instead let them decide between chores so they feel more in control but know they have responsibilities they need to fulfill.
Ruskin said parents should also make sure their kids know they are a valuable part of making family decisions.
"(It) Doesn't mean you do exactly what they say, but you certainly respect their voice, hear it, and process it," said Ruskin.
"I think if you have good manners and you know how to say please and thank you and shake hands and look at adults in the eye it does, it gives children I think a confidence and hopefully they grow up with that," said Jody Metzger, of Pleasant Ridge.
Having good manners is important for children because it helps develop good social skills, which is needed to make friends, do well in school and be a successful adult according to livestrong.com.
Metro Detroit parents say the best thing moms and dads can do is to teach their children by setting a good example.
"If you use it with them and you are polite with them, you can't talk that way to them and expect them to grow up and be different than that, so you know, as long as she sees me holding doors for everybody, and being courteous and waiting for people, letting people cross the street you know she'll learn by example, i figure that would be the best way," said dad Anthony Crump about teaching his daughter good manners.
"Be respectful and show good manners to your children and to other adults in the household, that's what I would do," said Metzger.
"I think that as long as you look out to their best interest and you treat them the way you want to be treated you can't go wrong," said Popp.

I have a 1988 R100GS with a Corbin Solo seat and am looking to upgrade.
I am a big guy. 6' 5" 280bls. I have tried Airhawk, beads, sheepskin, gel and every combination of all of these and can not make my seat comfortable. I do like the Beadrider for the airflow and that is why the Kontour is on the short list. Can anybody speak to the airflow on the Kontour vs a bead seat???
The wide stance of both of these seats really seem to be what I need... But think that air would be important too. Russell doesn't sound like they like to push the velour they sell but hasn't bothered to find a better cloth material.
Russell says that they can work with my Corbin seat pan where as Kontour will not. In that case. Does anybody have an OEM Solo Seat for my GS? Cheap?? Can't see spending another $300 + on an original seat that I am going to spend... $600 - $700.
Yes. I know that I need to loose weight. But I will never be a little guy or anywhere near the sub 200lbs that bikes and their seats are made for.
Help!! I really can't afford this so I want to make sure I do it right.

It's been a while since my last post... so here goes.
Our project goals have been transformed somewhat. We've shifted our initial specialized focus of controlling the flight of an RC aircraft, to a more general focus of a data collector.
New components added to the project include a Trimble GPS unit, an absolute pressure sensor used in an altimeter circuit and possible components used for a tachometer circuit.
Our goal now is to make a GPS enabled data collector, which will log GPS data, along with altimeter readings, accelerometer readings and (potentially) tachometer readings. The collector will have two modes of function:
1) Collect data and stream it LIVE to a portable laptop via a serial connection. 2) Collect data and store locally, to be downloaded to a computer at a later time.
I am currently working on a VB program to both stream and download data from the collector. I am also working on the integration of the GPS unit with the rabbit board.

Action Team reaches thousands in '09
Volunteerism explodes in communities across America
Students from Hawaii to Maine and Seattle to Puerto Rico teamed up with Major League Baseball players to pitch in, help out and make the world a better place in 2009, as the Action Team youth volunteer program expanded to reach more students in more communities.
The Action Team program brings active players together with high school students at community projects, ballparks and teleconferences where they spend time working side-by-side and exchanging ideas about volunteerism and community outreach. From charity drives to fundraisers and clean-up days, young people are learning the importance of teamwork and the difference they can make.
The Players Trust and Volunteers of America began a partnership in 2002 that led to the creation of the Action Team. The program was piloted in Denver in 2003. In 2004, a second pilot team was added in Minneapolis, and, in 2005, Boston and Philadelphia had Action Teams as well. What started as three schools combining to form one Action Team has grown to nearly 160 schools in more than 50 cities.
In 2009, the Action Team program expanded through the development of an online program that allows students in communities far from Major League markets to participate and interact with players who are leaders in their own communities. More than 40 new schools have already registered for the online program and, altogether, students in nearly 160 communities participate.
The result has been a smashing success. More than 19,000 high school students have joined with 66 players to help more than 90,000 people in need.
Action Team captains are asked to create, develop and organize a minimum of two school-wide volunteer projects during the school year. After the projects are completed, the captains submit a written report about the program's process, results and their experiences.
Getting involved is simple: Teachers or a guidance counselors can download an Action Team application at MLBPLAYERS.com and return the completed form by e-mail to email@example.com or by the fax number noted on the application.
The free resources available to Action Team high schools include step-by-step volunteer project ideas, posters, DVDs and brochures, a subscription to the Wall Street Journal Classroom Edition, monthly teleconferences with Major Leaguers and scholarship opportunities.
The monthly conference calls are hosted and moderated by broadcaster George Grande, one of the great voices of baseball, who leads a coast-to-coast chat among a player, the students, teachers and counselors. Each conference call spotlights a featured Action Team and its dedicated, positive efforts in volunteerism and student-exchange ideas. The calls also provide progress reports about the various programs the action teams are conducting in their communities.
For example, in 2009, Manual High School in Denver held a socks drive to collect new socks for the homeless, which in turned inspired St. Anthony's in Maui to hold a flip flop drive for the same purpose.
Bloomfield Junior/Senior High School in Indiana participated in a county-wide "Clean Up Greene Country Roads Day". Tecumseh High School, also in Indiana, is building a Habitat for Humanity house, and West Boylston High School in Massachusetts held a shoe drive for the Soles for Souls organization.
The monthly teleconference calls also feature one of the many players who are active in the Action Team program. The player joins a discussion to share his insights about volunteerism and field questions from the students.
"Anybody with heart and will and love and compassion can help," Yankees outfielder Curtis Granderson told students during the December teleconference. "Go where you like to help. There's so many different ways you can do it -- do what you like doing."
Granderson told the students about his community efforts as a youngster in Lansing, Ill., where he volunteered at food drives, street cleanings and church. The personable and energetic center fielder told the students his current efforts are centered on education and that he was initially inspired by his school-teacher parents.
One of the students asked Granderson, "What is the feeling or sensation you get from doing a community service or deed?" Granderson told a story about the sense of warmth and satisfaction he felt during a food drive in which he delivered a holiday meal to a family in need.
"Now this family, who was going to have nothing to eat for the holidays, had something," Granderson said. "They were so thankful and kind. It's one of those things we take for granted. There are a lot of less fortunate people who don't get that opportunity. ... If you can help someone out, even for a day, it goes such a long way."
Mark Teixeira, who led the AL with 39 homers, 344 total bases and 122 RBIs and helped the New York Yankees win their 27th World Series title in 2009, joined the November call and offered advice based on more than a decade of active community involvement as a player.
"There are very few people that go through their entire lives without needing anybody," Teixeira told the students participating in the November teleconference. "[I am] inspired to see young kids going out and really being a part of the community in their free time."
Teixeira also stressed the importance of a college education, calling his time at Georgia Tech "the best three years of [my] life."
"I would love to see all kids have a chance to go to college and have the same experience I did," he said, noting another important component of the program.
While inspiring and training the next generation of volunteers, the Action Team also strives to develop future leaders. To that end, the Players Trust is providing 40 college scholarships of $1,000 each to Action Team captains this year in recognition of their dedication to community.

Shoffner planned to discuss the audit Friday before the Legislative Joint Auditing Committee. The panel is reviewing 30 bond transactions by her office. The audit said that eight bond transactions with St. Bernard Financial Services Inc. resulted in the largest economic loss of $783,835.
That loss was partly offset by gains from other brokers.
Shoffner appeared before the panel in September - days after her absence at its original hearing prompted lawmakers to subpoena her. Shoffner's chief investment officer said she advised against selling the bonds early - a claim that Shoffner's denied.
Shoffner is a Democrat who was re-elected in 2010.

I don't mean whose the better player or the player you would rather build around. I mean who in 6 years (when their current Max deal would finish) would be better. Basically who is the safer player to give the Max to (they both will still get it and the extra 30 mill).
Wade is already 28 and has already had multiple knee problems (not great for a guy who relies on athleticism as much he does). With all the bumps and brusies Wade has acquired through his reckless playing style and you add that to the amount of mileage in his career (Olympics and Playoffs). I'm not saying Wade will completely fall apart half-way through his new Max contract but he could regress enough to where his contract could burden a team.
Bosh is not only 2 years younger than Wade, also usually SG's dont outlast PF career unless they completely devout themselves to taking care of their body (see Bryant, Kobe). Plus Bosh is a finesse PF and that would probably cause CB's NBA lifespan to increase.
Also you have to account for the up-coming CBA coming and how it will tighten up the NBA salary cap, basically not allowing teams to build super teams anymore. Again this is not a slight against D-Wade or anything but how Bosh could be the better sign than Wade this off-season.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Trials' started by mud, Oct 23, 2011.
Here you go, Enjoy!
Article you need to translate from Italian
What it looks like:
Here is the translated article:
At the EICMA Motorcycle Fair next month KTM will present the Freeride 350, an Enduro that has only one simple message: Maximal offroad pleasure.
<!-- main text -->KTM, the world market leader for Enduro motorcycles unveils the Freeride 350. This is a motorcycle that has all the same genes as every KTM competition Enduro bike but is still quite different. The aim was to create a bike on offroad wheels that could master the same challenges as a KTM EXC, but with significantly less effort and energy. So the Freeride 350 is a playful and feather light Enduro to really enjoy and no extreme competition machine.
At merely 99 kg, the Freeride 350, available in Spring 2012, is an invitation to all those who have until now had no contact with this fascinating sport. Never has it been easier to get into riding an Enduro.
This 24 hp strong, 350 cc high single cylinder with fuel injection always delivers enough but never too much power. Thanks to its homologation and a slim and noise reducing double pipe exhaust system this light fun machine can be used in normal traffic any time.
A new composite frame design has also been achieved to further enhance the advantages of the lightweight concept. High quality and proven WP suspension components ensure that the Freeride 350 meets the expectations of a genuine KTM even during a hard ride on tough terrain.
Darn it MUd quit finding all these cool bikes! Don't you dare get one I already am following your lead with the Husaberg and now the Monty 4rt coming this week. I can't afford anymore and my husband is waaaaay past the tolerant stage
As different as the Alpina 40 years ago?
That would be a blast in the mtns. I likey!
Will be a total failure in the US.
Everything old is "new" again.
My club is full of KTM's with Dunlop trials tires on the back.
The Sherco looks more interesting. The two things I would want are a low seat height and light weight.
I agree. It is too heavy and too tall to be en "easier to ride enduro". The lower HP will turn many people off after they get bored playing trials rider. They should have used the 200cc 2 stroke engine to get the weight under 200 lbs. I like the sherco better for trail riding and playing around.
Its got a 1"shorter seat height and 1"shorter suspension than an xr 400 weighs 30lbs less has fuel injection 5 less hp, same wheelbase,and comes with lights, and has the magic button and you don't think it will be a good trail bike?
I think if it comes to the U.S. you will be surprised at how well it does. It looks like a fun bike for the tight stuff, climbing, and other technical riding.
2009 Husky WR250
Americans have proven time and again that they want cheap moreso than functional.
I think the Japanese have missed the boat by not selling decent dirt bikes that are street legal. AFAIK, the KTM and Husky dealers locally are doing pretty well with their road-going dirt machines. Let's ask NM Trailboss on this one -- he works for a multi-line, multi-shop dealer and would know if street papers help.
The main advantage I see here in the US is that trail mileage is being lost on public lands, and if your bike is street-legal it makes it easier to string together a good trail ride. If KTM brings this Freeride here with road-going papers, I don't think they'll languish in the showrooms.
They sell well enough for boutique brands. That is not well enough for Honda, Yam, etc.
The argument I always hear is that people want the performance of a KTM race bike, with the maintenance intervals of an air-cooled jap bike for the price of a 10 year old KLR. Plus 12 inches of travel at both ends and someone 5' 3" should be able to flat foot.
No question that a street title makes any off road bike more desireable and much easier to sell, especially in the western states. Many people do not want to deal with the restrictions installed in the street legal models (uncorking, etc.) but that is part of the game. The Jap companies have a much harder and more strict time dealing with the EPA on street legal models than do the euro manufacturers, so not likely to see much from the big 4 that is a serious street legal off road machine in the near future (IMO).
I'd love to see the 350 Freeride come to the states and I agree it would have decent success if brought in with street legal papers depending on what KTM decides to price it at.
I'll buy part of what your sayin but not all. I think a bike like the freeride with a plate and at say 55-6,000.00 price would probably sell well. Would everyone like it to have a foot of travel, sure but the dimentions on the freeride are practial and ergonomicly correct so it would feel right. look at all the kdx's, its,xr's that have been sold thru the years and this is along those lines, we have to face the fact that ktm upped the anty with the race bikes they sell now which in my mind are the poor mans works bikes! This is also why folks get tired of the upkeep of such a high strung machine, and many of these people would like to have a lower maintainance machine, they need a good trail bike not a racer. This brings us back to the freeride!
and there is the rub.
I do not see a street legal 4t selling for less than a 200 2t. Right now, our local dealer has 2011 350 XC-F for $8199. Is it even possible for them to sell a 2012 of the same displacement for $2,000+ less????? If it is, I will be the 1st in line for a heaping plate of crow. My bet is that it will be in the $7,500 to $8,000 range, which prices it out of anyone loyal to any Asian brand.
It will sell for $7,999, showrooms will have first year models three years later.
and the same group of people will bitch and moan about how Suzuki does not update their DR or why Yam does not offer a street-legal wr450.
This will be a case of put up or shut up. If the Freeride is a sales success, expect imitations. If they sit unsold in showrooms, expect the Asians to point and say, "See, what's the point."

Pray for West Africa
We believe prayer is foundational to our work. It sensitizes us to the needs around us and acknowledges God's provision and help in all we do. Join us in prayer for the needs of children and families in West Africa impacted by the deepening drought and food crisis.
* * *
Pray that children and families will survive an escalating drought.
Poor rains have led to poor harvests across the region, affecting as many as 15 million people in six countries -- Mali, Niger, Mauritania, Senegal, Chad, and Burkina Faso. While food shortages are chronic in this part of the world, the current crisis is occurring precariously close to the drought of 2009-2010. Affected populations have exhausted their traditional means of coping, and families have already reported cutting back on the number of meals they eat every day.
Father, we pray that children and families living in West Africa will survive these lean months ahead. Your Word says that You alone "…satisfy a desolate wasteland and make it sprout with grass" (Job 38:27). So, we rely on Your help and provision for those whose families are trying to survive this drought. Give them courage and resourcefulness to make it through the months ahead. Come to their aid. We look to You, O God, our strength.
Pray for the return of life-giving rain.
The next rainy season is expected to start in July. Even with sufficient rainfall, there will be no harvest until October. Most parents believe their food will not last until then.
Father, we ask that You will bring plentiful rain again to this drought-prone land. We ask that they will see You make "…grass grow for the cattle, and plants for man to cultivate -- bringing forth food from the earth" (Psalm 104:14). When rain comes, give the people knowledge to retain and use the water efficiently. And bring an abundant harvest from the rain-soaked ground so there will be no food gap next year. We look to You, O God, our strength.
In the affected region, about 645,000 children die each year; 35 percent of these deaths are linked to malnutrition. (Photo: Justin Douglass/World Vision)
Pray that children will have the nutritious food they need.
In the affected region, about 645,000 children die each year; 35 percent of these deaths are linked to malnutrition. Currently, 2 million children are moderately malnourished, and 1 million are severely malnourished.
Lord, it's hard to see children suffer, especially from hunger. We ask you to give them daily bread today (Matthew 6:11) and throughout the coming months. Provide the food they need to grow and thrive. We look to You, O God, our strength.
Pray for vulnerable children.
In drought situations, children are more vulnerable to disease. They must walk longer distances to find water -- making them targets of attack by wild animals and human predators. When food resources are threatened, families will migrate, hoping for better opportunities elsewhere. And sometimes children seek work to help support their families. This means that children drop out of school, or, if they remain in their classes, they find it difficult to concentrate on lessons due to hunger.
Lord, we ask that You will be "…a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble" (Psalm 9:9) for the children of West Africa. Protect them from dangers in the wild and from people who would take advantage of their vulnerability. Keep them from disease; help their families and communities find the resources necessary to feed them so they can thrive. Help girls and boys to stay in school so they will enjoy the full life You have for them. We look to You, O God, our strength.
Pray for humanitarian aid workers, governments, and partners.

World Vision is part of a coalition (including CARE, Catholic Relief Services, Mercy Corps, Oxfam, Plan International, and Save the Children) advocating for early intervention to help struggling communities survive. World Vision works in five of the affected countries -- Mali, Niger, Mauritania, Senegal, and Chad.
We are also cooperating with churches, UN aid agencies, our coalition colleagues, the affected governments, donor governments, and other partners to bring effective emergency relief to families.
Your Word says, "He who is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for what he has done" (Proverbs 19:17). Please bless all those who are working to help those suffering from drought. Give us energy and grace as we go about our activities. Keep us from danger. Guard our hearts and minds from fatigue and hopelessness. Help us serve others with kindness and compassion. We look to You, O God, our strength.
Pray for stability in the region.
The food scarcity is compounded by violence in Mali and returnees from Libya. Fighting between government forces and Taureg rebels in Mali have compelled tens of thousands of refugees to flee to Niger, Mauritania, and Burkina Faso. Food supplies have also been further strained by about 90,000 mostly young men who have returned following the rebellion that toppled Muammar Gaddafi in Libya.
Lord, we believe those suffering in this region would agree with the psalmist: "Too long have I lived among those who hate peace" (Psalm 120:6). Children and families long for stability in their communities. Help those who are at war come to agree with one another. Bring peacemakers to the region who will help bring reconciliation and justice. We look to You, O God, our strength.
Pray for World Vision's child sponsorship communities.
Sponsorship not only helps individual children, but also supports emergency interventions during times of crisis, like the current food crisis in Niger. (Photo: World Vision)
World Vision serves 3.5 million people in sponsorship communities across the region. Many of these communities are becoming severely strained as refugees arrive in search of food and other life basics.
"Poor villages have been overwhelmed with people, some expanding seven-fold in just a few months, with refugees forced to live in overcrowded homes and makeshift shacks," says Chris Palusky, World Vision's food crisis response manager for Mali and Niger. "Time is running out to support host families before they themselves reach breaking point. A large and speedy response will not only save lives but strengthen communities who are already bearing the brunt of this disaster."
Lord, You've allowed World Vision the privilege of demonstrating Your love in these countries through the monthly gifts of caring sponsors. We pray that our ministry in sponsorship communities will bear good fruit (Colossians 1:10). We ask Your hand to help us support families and villages hosting refugees, so they themselves can survive along with their guests. We look to You, O God, our strength.
Read more of our ongoing coverage of the West Africa food crisis here on the World Vision Blog.
Also, consider making a one-time gift to help provide life-saving food and care for children affected by hunger. Your donation will help deliver interventions like emergency food, agricultural support, nutritional training, clean water, and more.
