Brilliant idea, I really hop this develop well in the US and all around the World!
Pakistan-born, Komal Ahmad, develops phone app to feed almost 600,000 homeless people in San Francisco.
While she was walking near campus one fall day, a homeless man approached her, asking for money to buy food because he was hungry. Instead of giving him cash, Komal invited the man to lunch. As they ate, he told her his story. He was a soldier recently returned from Iraq and had a bad turn of luck. “He’d already gone on two deployments and now he’s come back, he’s 26 and on the side of the road begging for food,” Komal said. “It just blew my mind.”
It bothered her so she decided to do something about it. Within a few months, Komal set up a program at UC Berkeley that allowed the school’s dining halls to donate excess food to local homeless shelters. That program then expanded to 140 college campuses across the US in about three years.
Komal, now 25 years old and CEO of a nonprofit service called Feeding Forward, is looking to expand even more into what she calls on-demand food recovery. Through a website and mobile app, Feeding Forward matches businesses that have surplus food with nearby homeless shelters.
When companies or event planners have surplus food, they tap the Feeding Forward app and provide details of their donation. A driver is dispatched to quickly pick up the leftovers and deliver them to food banks.
“These are huge cities that have absurd amounts of food thrown away every day,” Komal said. “We are trying to make the Bay Area a case study to say ‘Hey, if it works here, it can work anywhere.’
“I’ll DM you,” I said.
You sit patiently, expecting a private message at any moment. There’s a knock at your door. It’s me, dressed in a surprisingly well made wizard robe, arms full of books and dice.
“Roll for initiative.” I utter.
How am I not playing this?

DM: ROLL A FABULOSITY CHECK WITH A GODDAMN ADVANTAGE
2015: les USA n'ont pas pris part à la seconde guerre mondiale, le débarquement n'a pas eu lieu. Épuisée, l'Angleterre a rendue les armes, à la suite de quoi l'étreinte Nazi a étouffé toutes les poches de résistance en Europe. Contraints de fuir, des centaines de français trouvent refuge dans les colonies.
Pendant plus de 60 ans, le IIIème Reich s'est assoupi sur ses victoires passées. Mais l'appétit dévorant de ce géant autoritaire et militariste n'est jamais rassasié. Alors que ses yeux gourmands se tournent vers les restes de ses ennemis d'antan, les descendants des réfugiés de la guerre, craignent de revivre l'Horreur une fois de plus... Lorsque rafles, censures et raids anti-libertaires s'abattent à nouveau sur le Monde, le feu d'une révolte sans précédent s'allume... Le laisserez vous s'éteindre, ou brûlez vous de ce feu intense qui abat les dictatures?
Il y a sans doute pas mal d'objections historiques à apporter à ce pitch de base, mais l'idée m'a bien plus. Apparemment, je suis pas le seul, vu que j'ai déjà un joueur et deux joueuses qui se sont manifestés!
apparently, evangelical cartoonist Jack Chick passed away last night
let us remember him by taking a moment to laugh once again at this classic

Hi there, have you ever heard the Gospel? If you haven’t, here it is: We have all sinned and deserve God's judgment. God, the Father, sent His only begotten Son to satisfy that judgment for those who believe in Him. Jesus, who lived a sinless life, loves us so much that He died for our sins, taking the punishment that we deserve, was buried, and rose from the dead, thus defeating death for us. Check out "A Call for An Uprising" on YouTube, it'll help you in your awakening process. God bless you

Naziyah Mahmood is a woman of contradictions. She was a scientist for the European Space Agency, an artist and soon to be published writer/poet. Also, she is a deadly martial artist and weapons collector while being a peace loving woman of faith. Naziyah has overcome a tough upbringing and disability to become an academic of excellence……who can also kick your butt. (x)
WHAT A BADASS <3 <3
“I do get a lot of odd looks when walking around Glasgow, especially when I’m training. There is still that stereotype here that women dressed like me should just be in the kitchen. An old instructor of mine used to call me his ‘little ninja girl.’ I didn’t mind because it gave me an advantage. I was taken lightly and I routinely got underestimated, especially when sparring. I remember one male student who was well over 6ft reassured me by saying,
‘Don’t worry. I will go easy on you.’
He soon found himself on the floor.”
