Mere transfer of approaches and processes from successful enterprises to poverty eradication will not work, and could set back efforts too
Increasingly, with entrepreneurs turning their attention to poverty eradication - rarely to address the root causes of injustice or inequality- approaches and processes used successfully in enterprises are being used for social development and poverty eradication. There is a belief that (a) profit - the greatest incentive - is the crucial differentiator to solve problems that have hitherto remained and (b) that a simple solution or product exists or can be created, for every problem - a solution or product that can be made available on a large scale with the accompanying economies.
The process of finding simple solutions is leading to an over-simplification of why poverty exists and persists. The belief that 'a product' exists for every need - it only needs to be invented if it doesn't exist - doesn't recognise the inherent complexity of human life and motivations.
The emphasis on 'products' rather than in 'processes' and 'people' is leading to the root causes for poor governance and the persistence of poverty being swept aside.
We need to pause and apply tools that make for successful enterprises selectively without losing sight of the fact that the reasons for poverty are not just complex but intrinsically linked to human emotions - fear, love, hatred, desire, ambition, shame, insecurity, joy ....
The need for the hour is for a hybrid approach to social development - in other words a new path and not a blind belief that the 'market' offers solution to all our problems.
Feb 15 2011: many people treats poverty as something unfair and something that is caused by some behavior or event. this is not the case. poverty is the natural state of men. our great ancestors had to experience cold, lack of food, multitude of illnesses, child mortality, predators and other natural hardships. great human effort has been put to alleviate these conditions, and we call that effort "economy". if we ask why the life expectancy is 40 years in some regions, we often forget that USA has the same value in 1800, a mere 200 years ago.
why there is poverty in some regions? because they not yet developed further. the real question is: how can we promote economic development in these regions? what hinders their development? what hindered in the past? how can we shorten the path from 200 years to 50? or to 20?

Feb 16 2011: That is not necessarily true: Huge profits have been made when China and India (although there is still a substantial amount of poverty left) have started to develop. In fact, isn't it quite the opposite: As regions develop (ie. poverty decreases) this increases the potential for non-zero-sum games, as these regions are integrated in a web of dependencies, specializations and sharing of labor. So there is clearly a profit to be made from eradicating poverty. However, this is an effort that requires long-term investment and patience, whereas there are other investment opportunities which yield more short-term profit.
The "problem" isn't that there's no profit in investing in poverty regions, but that there's more profit in other regions like emerging economies.

Feb 16 2011: I believe this will change. D.Light and others are breaking barriers to change our minds about the profitability of serving those who earn less then $2 a day. Paul Polak is building a new company to prove that there is respectable profit to be made. I look forward to seeing billions being served by sustainable, scalable, social enterprises.Feb 16 2011: Hi Phillip,

I think you have missed the point being made by Mark Meijer & V.K. Madhavan. Everything you mentioned above speaks to the typical top down Economic & Business models that is pervasive in the Poverty realm, however, we are saying that these approaches limit and stunts success when applied in a bottom-up approach by social entrepreneurs. Further; we are advocating a new way to think about profit, what it is, how to achieve it and what it means to our clients. Expanding the definition of 'profit' leads additional success. A bottom-up approach requires that we think of the client first, even before creating a business plan or economic model. Putting our own training and perceptions aside so that we can really see what is in front of us without our parabolic screen. Whilst your argument makes complete sense if you are a government agency or an enterprise not focused on poverty, success by Kiva.org and others didn't come from starting with those models. -Cheers

Is it really that there is no profit to be made or have we been ignorant of one billion potential customers?

Feb 17 2011: True talk ! What i woould like to know is; is there a definite suggestion or approach we can take to deal with this problem of poverty? I am from Africa, where unless you have a heart of stone, you will be moved to tears everyday seeing others suffer around you. even the Presidents can not deny seeing people suffer. They drive on bad roads, they watch televisions. How do we apply this "hybrid approach" to help our people?

Feb 17 2011: In the simplest of terms, unless there is a basic change in indivdual thought and agenda, this self-centred, consumer-driven fever that has taken hold of the world will not allow' a better path' to flourish. We need to 'educate' 'social responsibility' back into our society and change our priorities.Feb 17 2011: Very good point.

To give the wrong man a Ferrari could spell his doom, as he may quickly be killed for what he possesses. For an american to win the lottery, they may fall back into the financial ruin they began in before the end of the decade.
It can be detrimental to just throw a product at someone, and expect it to change a culture. You are missing the humanity in the situation when you do this. I would appeal to psychologists and sociologists. We are talking about social engineering here. We are talking about eradicating poverty, changing everything about the way a person lives day to day. Without realizing the propensity of greed, the draw of power, the desire of wealth, you are announcing a diamond mine find in the middle of a country in turmoil.
A Ferrari is an end goal type of item. Lets be clear I do not hope to see a Ferrari in every individuals hands in the world. But it is transportation, and it requires maintenance, it requires infrastructure.
Eradicating poverty requires a step by step program. It requires covering the basics in something like Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
Someone needs to develop a community specific Hierarchy of Needs. A step by step process, that requires the community buy in, and understand, be educated about the process. They need incentive. They need protection.
Step one to me, is clean water and basic sanitary education.
Education is also a difficult topic. How do you raise the standard of living of a culture, without destroying what makes that culture, a culture.
Wealthy regions should adopt the poorest regions and provide protection, a stable habitat where culture can define. It should be as hands off a process as possible. Let these people, with gentle prods, walk themselves out of poverty. Thats real ownership.
There is a great potential in the world today.Feb 16 2011: Totally agree. The Industrial Era is a top down command and control approach that thrives on secrecy and force of arms to cheat the public, rape the commons, and enrich the few. I have reviewed a number of books on poverty, and what I drew from the aggregate wisdom of those authors is this:
1) Poverty is the number one high-level threat to humanity. Eradicating poverty unleashes the brainpower of the five billion poor and that in turn can create infinite wealth.
2) Corruption is wasting fifty percent or more of the resources on the planet.
3) Public intelligence and collective intelligence are the means by which we enforce transparency (to include wiping out most of the intermediaries that steal or misdirect 75% of what is donated (I specifically include the Red Cross and the Clinton-Bush Foundations--what we have not done for Haiti is a crime against humanity and the eternal shame of the USA.
4) Giving a cell phone and free cell service to a poor person is the single best thing we can do. Period.
5) Call centers to answer their questions and educate them one cell call at a time is the next big step forward.
6) A solar powered Internet mesh that cannot be shut down by governments and corporations, and that can offer the Internet free to most, is a badly needed initiative everywhere.Feb 15 2011: very true indeed. The art of understanding the actual needs of your client (be it a person, enterprise, non-profit or a community) has been lost because colleges and universities are now focused elsewhere. applying the same template(s) to every challenge will always limit your success. 'Starting with a blank page' (and mind) has never been more important than it is nowadays, and yes, I know some will argue that this leads to too much complexity, but that complexity is only horizontal. Vertically you will be able to manage quite successfully because you already have the tools needed and know how to acquire them if you don't. What works well for me has been to focus on just listening, without thinking while I'm listening, and letting the client lead the approach. In a sense, I'm seeing myself more as a facilitator than an agent of change-I'm there to help not to lead. Once the best solution has been determined then I get aggressive in applying templates, processes and products that have proven successful. I think a similar approach initially will always lead to the best solutions.Feb 15 2011: While I agree with you, I also feel that the poverty is the 'here and now' while the underlying causes are more intangible, and also more difficult to address. Also, there is probably a feeling that if the symptom can be taken care of then the malaise itself would be treated in due course. Maybe we need more initiatives like Gramin Bank - where the women getting loans also take a oath not to give or take dowry for their children. Also, the symptom - malaise thing may have something in it. When you empower people by meeting their very basic needs, then maybe they are in a better position to take on the underlying causes. Wishful thinking? maybe.

Feb 27 2011: Here is the first part of the problem: Communication malfunction.
- 0
The word "Poverty" describes a lack of resources for the flourishing of human life. Poverty in one part of the U.S. is very different from another part of the U.S. South African poverty different from the Sudan, China, India, Poland.
First part of the solution: Define a thing called "minimal prosperity" and assign to this definition the entire array of resources, opportunities, protections, connections, etc., that it takes to sustain a viable human life. Not an easy thing to define, I admit, but this is not an easy set of problems.
Once we have this picture of Minimal Prosperity, then wherever these paramters are not met, we can identify and quantify each specific lacking need. With the list of needs, priorities should become evident as the environment we're talking about is assessed for those needs. Then, instead of saying we need to eliminate "poverty in Bolivia," we can look at a list that shows that the government functions, but say, the water system has been corrupted by profiteers who prevent people from getting at the water and want to sell it at high price. Then we can communicate the real problem that Bolivia has an infestation of human water parasites and address that problem before looking at food supply, education, whatever.
Without the breakdown and analysis, we don't have an understanding of what we're talking about.Feb 19 2011: One main reason is because the "root causes of injustice and inequality" are the most difficult to rectify. These cures may not even be realistically possible, even in a democratic society, due to negative costs for the majority associated with the cure outweighing positives. We do not live in an uniformly altruistic society, and must navigate reality.
In the meantime, this "product-based" system attempts to limit the negatives associated with the "root causes". I think this is an admirable goal that should not be discouraged. We must not let perfect be the enemy of good.
The "profit motives" are a hallmark of capitalism. Capitalism (of which I am a fan), harnesses the immutable human characteristic of greed to create jobs, economies, and wealth. If no one was greedy, Marxism would be an ideal and popular form of government (excepting religious issues). The "American Dream" of a white picket fence is at its heart a dream of socio-economic mobility.
In conclusion, should we focus more on the causes rather than easing the symptoms? Yes. In a world of limited resources, a lack of altruism, and resistance to change will it do the most good per input (time, $, etc.)? Probably not.
Zaz Tao
Feb 27 2011: This set of thoughts that you present are the root of the problem. Capitalism is a bad religion.
- 0
The cure is most definitely possible.
The characteristic of greed is not immutable. Jobs are not an end. Marx's Communist Manifesto is 153 years old, no straw-man should live so long.
The white picket fence surrounding the American Dream has become too unobtainable to retain credibility.
We can wait for the system to break, collapse, fall over, whatever, or we can start fixing it.
Without the help of what could be called socialist systems, capitalism is going to continue maintaining and increasing misery. Unchecked greed will break it.Feb 18 2011: I can't agree more. You have put the argument beautifully. I believe consumerism has also hit this cause. If we want to propose processes, we will also need ways to devise opportunities for engagement and inclusion.
ami gueo
Feb 17 2011: WOW! really complex theme! a my approach is:
- 0
a) let us try and evaluate and try and evaluate and so on, until we succeed!
b) most probably can exist diversal ways to eradicate poverty or, say, get social and individual wealth. then, let us try diversal ways to get that wealth, let us do an array of experiments, and let us evaluate with an open and free mind.
c) when a neibour progresses, i think that i too can progress, why not? we prefer imitate than create.
d) poverty is not only lack of money, it is overall a style of social relationships and individual manners and skills. poverty is in the mind of the poor, overall in their mind.
e) very simple healthy customs can make a big difference (health is the number one priority).
f) confidence in oneself and confidence in the others, that is a mine of wealth.
g) money is the poorest kind of wealth, of course, and while a population is developing, we cannot forget the wealth they already have, as a gift from life and tradition.
well, good luck to this wonderful world :)Feb 17 2011: Namaste- Yes, the "market" as the solution for all problems over simplifies the basic endeavor of being human. Let us look at this idea of "poverty" and how we define it and see how we believe in eradicating this. Two days ago, the President of the US presented his budget and the deficit. How do we define wealth? More "debt"?
In an industrial world, material resources and products were defined and measured and then a price tag attached to the said "product" with energy and labor costs added. In the past 2 centuries, in our haste to produce cheap products we totally ignored the ecological repercussions.
Since the turn of this century we are maturing into a "knowledge" economy where computer software produced on a cheap plastic CD costs more for the "idea" than the actual material. We have gone a step further by having open source (making the "idea" free) but offer "technical support" to ensure a job and an income.
The above design of a "market" stands on the premise that "data systems" are of paramount importance and that digital storage, retrieval and manipulation is essential for human development.
Now, let us get to our idea of "poverty"- most of these "poor" people are disfranchised from many modes of data storage and manipulation. However, with the possible access to a cell phone or a rural network that gives them access to urban market rates to sell their produce etc., a part of this digital world becomes accessible to them.
While all this fantastic technological stuff is happening, we are finding more problems (especially in highly populous countries like India) where water, soil and air quality have deteriorated at an alarming rate. Villages and cities fight over water. Political parties become active over water disputes. Industrial infrastructure fights with rural groups on land use and water share.
Which way would we want to move ahead- at the expense of our health or wealth? All the Hiranyakashipus and Midas did meet their end.Feb 16 2011: Very important point. Poverty is extremely complex and there is no simple catch all solution. There are many reasons for this complex issue especially as you define it in terms of large groups of people. Many complex strategies have been developed and failed. Micro Finance is not "the solution" or any other market solution for that matter. Schools, health care, environment, population growth, peace and security are all extremely important. How many of these issues are greatly influenced by a lack of income?
I have never heard anyone propose that there is a market solution for every problem but when your starving a couple times a year and you find a product that will double your income, allow you to send your kids to school have resources to go to the clinic wouldn't you say that would help human emotions. Most complex solutions just cover the effects of the root issue. How many people loose hope every year because they see no way out of their poverty?
I would like to hear more about what a hybrid approach would look like.
Income gives the individual the opportunities to make choices for their lives. While agree with what your saying I don't think anyone should minimize the impacts of raising the income individuals and families.
Thank you for sharing your views.

Lewis Hamilton was lost for words after his decision not to go for a final qualifying lap cost him the British GP pole position...
Lewis Hamilton was lost for words after his decision not to go for a final qualifying lap cost him the British GP pole position.
The 2008 World Champion posted a 1:39.232 in dry conditions early in Q3 and looked set to start Sunday's race from P1 after conditions became wetter during the final few minutes. Although he crossed the start-finish line before the chequered flag came out, he decided not to go through with the lap, ducking into the pits.
His Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg and several other drivers decided to chance their arms and it paid off as the track had dried out in the final sector. Rosberg claimed pole in the end with Sebastian Vettel second and Jenson Button third.
"I don't know, I don't have much of an answer," Hamilton told BBC Sport.
He added: "I just decided not to do the lap."
Asked if he thought he wasn't going to improve with another lap, he replied: "Obviously not. I don't have anything to say to you at the moment."
In a press released later, Hamilton said: "I made a mistake today and pulled out of the lap when I should have kept going. It was a tough qualifying with the changing conditions and we got through most of it really well, until the most important part.
"It was my decision, a bad call, and that decided my qualifying. I'm so sorry to have disappointed the fans here today as their support has been fantastic and I'll do what I can to have a great race for them tomorrow."
Mercedes chief Niki Lauda revealed afterwards that Hamilton decided to abort the final lap while Rosberg was eager to have a final go.
"It was tricky in the end, we were both well in the lead, then we had to make a decision on whether we go out again," Lauda said.
"They both pushed to go out. Lewis thought the circuit was slower so he stopped, Nico kept going.
"It was Lewis' decision because he thought he cannot go quicker but Nico proved you can go quicker and he was proved right.
"This time Nico was outstanding again to grab pole under these difficult conditions."

Seven time World Champion Michael Schumacher from the Mercedes GP Formula One team, was kind enough to answer some of our "hard hitting" questions, for the latest of our driver Question and Answer series.
What is your favourite part of the Albert Park circuit
Michael: "The most striking part for me is the park itself. When you visit and see all the fans having fun, that just gives you a great feeling of how motorsport can be. It is the atmosphere which makes Albert Park so special."
What is the first thing you think of when you hear the words 'Australian Grand Prix'?
Michael: "Australia has always been one of the highlights on the Formula One calendar and this has never changed for me in all my years of competing. It is also because the country is so striking, and thinking of the Australian GP, there are other experiences which come to my mind such as seeing rare animals or going cycling."
Who do you think will be your biggest rival this season?
Michael: "It's always difficult to predict before the first race but I think there will be a group of three or four teams fighting it out… including us!"
What is your favourite memory from the Australian Grand Prix?
Michael: "I am lucky enough to have a lot of good memories from Melbourne. It's a venue where I have won four times (2000, 2001, 2002, 2004) and those races will always be very special. And thinking back to those years just now, I realise it has been quite a while when I won here. Obviously it would be wonderful if I could add another victory."
If you won the Australian Grand Prix how would you celebrate?
Michael: "This for sure is the least thing to worry about… I'm sure we would have a big party with the whole team!"
What do you like about Aussie Formula 1 fans?
Michael: "As I said earlier, there's always a fantastic atmosphere at Albert Park and in Melbourne around the race weekend. The Aussie fans love their motorsport and they know how to celebrate, so it is fun to be there."
If you could have any famous Australian presenting you with the winner's trophy at the end of the Australia Grand Prix, who would you pick and why?
Michael: "I would probably pick Mick Doohan, as I would have invited him to my party anyway!"
How do you feel about Australia being the first race of the season?
Michael: "Albert Park was the season-opener for quite a few years and we always enjoyed it a great deal. The atmosphere in the paddock is very special. So I'm sure it will be a great weekend, and I look forward to entering the paddock on Thursday."

Prince George's police have made an arrest in the gang-related shooting that killed a Lanham 20-year-old outside a College Park hotel.
On Monday, police arrested 20-year-old Edwin Morales of the 300 block of Monterey Lane in Southeast Washington, D.C., for the Feb. 24 homicide.
He is charged with first- and second-degree murder in the killing of David Esequel Avelar, 20, of the 6600 block of 94th Avenue in Lanham, according to county police.
Avelar died shortly after being shot multiple times around 4 a.m. in the 9100 block of U.S. Route 1, according to police, who responded to the scene for the report of a shooting.
Police said the shooting was gang-related and stemmed from a separate parties being held at the same hotel in the area.
Members of the rival gangs were involved in a dispute outside the hotel in a parking lot when the shots rang out, striking Avelar, police said.
Marc Limansky, a spokesman for University of Maryland police, said a crime alert was sent out to the university community around 4:20 a.m. since the incident was close to campus. No students or faculty were involved, he said, but they sought to err on the side of caution in case the shooter was traveling toward the campus.
Morales is currently in custody in D.C. and is awaiting extradition to Prince George's County.
Defense attorney information for Morales was not listed with the county courts by Monday, according to online court records.
A phone number for Morales' or Avelar's residences could not be located.

I made this twice for potlucks and both my husband and I liked it a lot. Although I did use less noodles than recipe called for - the veggie to noodle ratio seemed off to me. Also, the second time I made it, I used more feta and liked it better that way. My husband liked it just fine the first way. Of course, kids only ate the noodles and an occasional bell pepper piece. Also, for the bell peppers, I only used red bell peppers. I recommend it.
I really loved this recipe but no one else did. Everyone picked out the veggies and only ate the noodles. Soory!

Vey good, light recipe. I halved the recipe and used yellow squash instead of eggplant and red pepper instead of green. I also used cherry tomatoes. To make it more healthy I used Barilla Pasta Plus, Kraft Low Fat Zesty dressing (only 1/2 cup needed) and reduced fat tomato & basil feta.
This recipe was very good. I accidentally replaced the bell pepper with a poblano, but it didnt really change much. I used a yellow zucchini, which stayed kind of crunchy and nutty- very good. For the dressing, i used half fat free italian and half fat free honey dijon. The whole thing, therefore, had a nice, sweet taste, nicely accented by the sharp taste of the feta cheese. I recommend this for a hot summer night, or for a potluck. Very pretty presentation.
Such an easy recipe! Sometimes I either add more vegetables (broccoli, squash, asparagus, etc.) or less pasta to balance out the portions. Great as is.
I am always looking for Vegetarian recipes for my Veggie daughter. My family loved this. It was fairly easy and quick to make, although I highly recommend leaving enough time to serve it cold. I envision changing the vegetables to whatever is in season. I used a red pepper and red onion because that is what I had on hand. I had to make a homemade dressing because my Italian has anchovies (not vegetarian!). Will definitely make this again!
I used a red pepper instead of green, only 1/2 cup fat free Italian dressing, and about 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil. I had to roast the veggies longer than indicated, and turned the oven up at the end. Overall an easy tasty dish, easy to make early in the day for dinner that night.
This was really good with the following changes: I halved the amount of pasta and used whole wheat pasta, omitted the feta (used a couple tablespoons of fresh parm sprinkled over the top) and used 1/3 of the amount of salad dressing. Everyone raved.

Montgomery County Council members recently tried to live on $25 for five days' worth of meals to raise awareness of poverty.
Last year, some taxpayer-funded meals for the council cost much more, per person.
The council spent more than $1,000 on six meals, with guests, in 2012. Each meal cost taxpayers anywhere from $11 to $26 per person.
Individually, council members spent even more.
Council Staff Director Stephen Farber said the council as a whole spent $1,090.73 to host one breakfast and five lunches with guests, including the Montgomery County Board of Education, the Montgomery County Planning Board, U.S. Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin (D) of Pikesville and U.S. Rep. Christopher Van Hollen Jr. (D-Dist. 8) of Kensington.
Only council members and their guests were served at the meals, Farber said. Staff members were not fed.
At $266, lunch with Cardin cost taxpayers the most and was the most costly meal per person. The nine council members and Cardin ate.
At $122.75, breakfast with Van Hollen cost the least. Three lunches with the board of education cost $586.38 and lunch with the planning board ran $155.60.
Besides money for entertaining guests as a full council, Farber said, council members can spend money in their own budgets on meals.
"Council members have an office budget which they use for their staff and for operating expenses, but it's a fixed amount," he said. "They live within that budget."
Between community and other lunch or dinner meetings, council members spent $3,122 in calendar year 2012.
Councilmen George L. Leventhal and Roger Berliner spent the most of any council members. Leventhal spent $1,556 and Berliner spent $1,151, according to data provided by council spokesman Neil Greenberger.
Greenberger said the cost of a transportation summit in Annapolis in December was included in those amounts.
Of the $1,151 Berliner (D-Dist. 1) of Bethesda spent, $857 covered half of the transportation summit, a BCC Career Day lunch and the Neighborhood Leaders Breakfast, Greenberger noted.
The $1,556 spent by Leventhal (D-At large) of Takoma Park paid for half of the transportation summit, a meeting with the Healthy Montgomery Steering Committee, the annual meeting with Health and Human Services boards and committees, and an African-American discussion, Greenberger noted.
Council members Philip M. Andrews (D-Dist. 3) of Gaithersburg, Craig L. Rice (D-Dist. 2) of Germantown, Marc B. Elrich (D-At large) of Takoma Park and Nancy Floreen (D-At large) of Garrett Park did not spend from their budgets on food, according to Greenberger.
Of the other council members who spent money on food, Council President Nancy Navarro (D-Dist. 4) of Silver Spring spent the least, $104.
Councilwoman Valerie Ervin (D-Dist. 5) of Silver Spring spent $152 and Councilman Hans Riemer (D-At large) of Takoma Park spent $159.

Blood Creek
Horror, Suspense/Thriller
In 1936, the Wollners--a German family living in rural Town Creek, Maryland--are contacted by the Third Reich to host a visiting scholar, Professor Ricard Wirth. In need of money, they accept Wirth into their home. Wirth's grand occult project seals the Wollners off from the rest of the world and makes them players in a horrifying game of survival. Now, in 2007, Evan Marshall's life has stalled at 25 years old. Left without answers after his older brother Victor's disappearance from a camping trip near Town Creek, he has tried to move on. But when Victor returns one night, very much alive and having escaped his captors, Evan asks no questions. At his brother's request, he loads their rifles, packs up their boat and follows Victor back to Town Creek on a mission of revenge that will test them in every possible way.

Sensabaugh Named SoCon Freshman Of The Week
Monday, October 29, 2001JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - Freshman Gerald Sensabaugh (Kingsport, Tenn.) was named the Freshman Player of the Week in football by the Southern Confernece today for his play in East Tennessee State's upset, 19-16 win over No. 1 ranked Georgia Southern on Saturday. He is the first Buccaneer to earn Player of the Week accolades this season. Sensabaugh, a defensive back, made a key play late in the game when he intercepted a Georgia Southern pass that halted the final drive of the night for the Eagles, preserving the win for the Buccaneers. In addition to his interception, Sensabaugh was one of the top tacklers for the Bucs in the contest, recording eight stops. A true freshman, he has started four games at strong safety for ETSU, totaling 27 tackles so far this season.

To often we see and hear only the bad stuff. Good things happen one on one all around and it is not hard at all to be a part. Pick your best skills and lend them out now and then to someone that will benefit from them in mutiples. I have to admit I spent less time working on someones broken AC than I have spent watching a bad movie I have seen before because I was too lazy to get up off my azz and the remote was across the room.

Good deeds - keep them alive
It is so refreshing and heartwarming to read dabar39's story about helping a little 6 year girl.
I was also blessed to be able to help a neighbor.
About 2 years ago an occupational therapist knocked on my door and asked if I might be able to help with a small design project.
Turned out that my neighbor's baby girl, Ellie was in a cast and needed a more comfortable way to sit on her baby seat.
I went over and when I looked at her, I had a hard time not crying. She was in a spica cast (you can look this up on the web).
The neighbor who has 2 other children, wondered if I could cut and modify a plastic swing seat so Ellie would be more
comfortable since the spica or hip cast made sitting very difficult.
Her occupational therapist said that she could make any special clothing and add padding that might be needed to
accomodate the modified seat assembly.
I told them that it would be easier for me to build a metal frame than to modify a plastic swing seat.
Ellie's needs are simple - all she needed was a seat to keep her upright for feeding and also playing with her toys.
It would also be nice if the seat had wheels to move her around the house.
Through all of her operations and hospital visits, Ellie never cried or complained.
When I got home, I resolved to make a stable, easy to use chair with wheels which would make my neighbor's life a little easier.
The hardest part was trying to weld with tears welling up in my eyes.
Took a vacation day so I could work out a design and brought a prototype over that evening for a rough fitting and to test the concept out.
Total time was about 30 hours of design and fabrication all told but the funny thing is that it seemed to me that I finished it the next day,
The frame is 3/8" stainless rod and the seat back and tray support pieces are made from polyethylene cutting boards.
All metal parts are stainless as I wanted parts that could be wiped down with alcohol and was, if needed, dishwasher safe.
Wheels are from a microwave cart and can be removed for cleaning.
The tray and support table use velcro to allow for removal and adjustment.
Also the tray support swings down to allow access for placing Ellie in and strapping her down.
Since I can't even sew a button on a shirt, it was a blessing that the occupational therapist was able to make the cushions and padding for the seat assembly.
She even made a seat belt to keep Ellie safe.
My neighbor sent me a check but I have kept it locked away so as not to hurt her feelings.
I told her that all I want is to see Ellie walk and play with her siblings and I also mentioned that Ellie's stroller comes with a lifetime guarantee and
unlimited modifications at no charge.
Ellie will have a hard enough time and I am so glad that I was able to help in a small way.
This was truly a labor of love for me.
Plus I got to weld !
Please keep up the good deeds !Thermal Arc GTSW400, Airco Heliwelder II, Miller Dynasty 350, Hypertherm 1000, oxy-fuel setup, metal cutting bandsaw, air compressor, drill press, etc.:

We froze some leftover homemade lasagna and instead of reheating in the microwave we would like to use the oven. What is a good temperature and time for reheating?

Seasoned Advice is a question and answer site for professional and amateur chefs. It's 100% free, no registration required.
350F is the magic temp. Just about every casserole cooks at 350, and you cook it until it starts being bubbly which will probably between 30 minutes and an hour (in this case, you should check to make sure it's hot in the center as well, since you're starting from frozen). I'd cover it early, and then uncover it near the end so the top won't get dry.

Step 1: The model 240 cm by 240 cm
Beautiful — thank you very much. I have been looking for just this for years, I thought I had come up with the design but wasn't sure where the screws should go. Strange that I'm in Hungary ....!
In your face IKEA! :D
Hi! Great Shelves! I'm impressed by how many heavy books you have with no floor support. I'd love to do a similar thing, but am afraid of them falling - can you speak to how sturdy they have been over the last six years? What did you use to mount it to the studs? How long were the screws/mounts?
240 cm long, 5 cm wide, 6 cm deep (photo 1)
240 cm long, 22 cm deep, 3 cm thick (photo2)
good luck
I decided I wanted something more modular, so I made my shelves smaller. The bottom shelf runs the whole span (100"). Most of the shelves are doubles (36") and a few are singles (20").
ProTip: To cut out the slots in the vertical supports, batch it. Lay all of your supports out together, with the front face up, and clamp together. Measure out where your cuts need to go and cut straight across all of them at once. This gave me very even shelves and saved a bunch of time.
I did a couple of this. They are really nice and work well for over 2 years now. Nice project to share time with my sons.
Justo lo que buscaba, fantástico!
It took a while to get the vertical wood pieces attached to the wall then some more time to get the horizontals to fit in again. I can't believe how sturdy it is!
I can't even fit a piece of paper into my joints. I had to use a hammer and a lot of brute force to get the horizontals fitting the verticals, so I had to skip that step. The thing is going nowhere!
Wow! Amazing results!
And with so little experience!
Thanks! I just took my time with it, measured everything about 4 times before cutting and drilling, cursed like a sailor and built it! The thing hasn't moved an inch since being installed, and thats with a few kids using it as a ladder.
Wonderful work.
I like much your low table solution for the shelve at the bottom. Is it on wheels?
Thanks for posting the photos.
I can't tell you how many shelves I have cut or pieced to flow in and around studs and made or bought little brackets to attach to each side of every stud, and never thought of this. it is so elegantly simple. I wish I had seen this sooner!
Unfinished wall? Don't cut away at the studs, instead just make some upright spacing cleats and mount them right onto the studs. It won't have the same nice finish as these, but we're already talking unfinished walls here. Set a row of cleats, drop in a shelf, add another row of cleats, drop in another shelf, and finish with a top row of cleats. You will still need wedges/shims - it transfers the weight load down the entire stack to the floor, versus one small contact point. I suggest you use good quality wood for the uprights/cleats - not one that easily splits, has knot holes, cracks.
Great !…
Thanks for posting !…
One question though. How do you account for the wall's strength ? I fear that sheet rock wouldn't be strong enough to hold hundreds of books. What do you think ?…
Make your uprights align to the studs, and you should have no trouble. USA is commonly 16 inches on center. If you are handy with the saw/chisel to cut the mortises, put them in at a 3 degree angle. it will help tip the books back towards the wall - just don't hang the uprights upside down, or your shelves will fall out!
ALWAYS use the shims/wedges, so small vibrations don't wobble the shelves out of the mortises.
The ultimate in super simple, infinitely adaptable design! Thank you. Loved seeing photos of all the variations you inspired. I made a similar one in 1970 that filled a 20' wall in my apartment living room in NYC. Never thought to hang it on the wall. Good thing, too. It was a very old plaster lathe wall (no studs). Instead of narrow stick uprights screwed to studs, I used uprights from same 1" x 8" shelving.Stood them up on the floor and notched the back edges to fit into matching notches for each shelf. Stunning display area for all my souvenirs from European honeymoon. Pride go-eth before a fall.The shelves burned to cinders when I (accidently) set my apartment on fire 6 months later—while building a sofa.
This was a fantastic online find for me... here is my accomplishment :) Took me 8 days (due to fibro), but I've done it! Thank you for putting the info out there! :)
Very inspiring work. Here is my version of the your inspirational spark ;).
More power and be blessed.
I made these with the help of my contractor Tripp, they turned into more than shelves - more like an architectural design element in my kitchen. Thanks ever so.
Hi, thank you for such a useful instructable. I've used it to build these bookshelves into a difficult corner space. Used store-bought timber for the uprights, painted to match the walls, and salvaged scaffolding boards for the horizontals, sanded and waxed. Delighted with the results, will be using this method again!
patience and prep is key here
..and routing is the icing on cake
Thank you so much for posting the pictures!!!
Spread the word.

Creston won the B game, 16-9, led by Landon Guhse's eight points.

Creston also won the second game, 30-24. Brenden McDowell scored six points in the victory.

"Our defense improved from Monday's game," coach Jacobson said. "We were down three at halftime and down three (29-26) after the third. We struggled to score in the fourth and allowed Winterset to convert offensive rebounds into points to pull away in the final quarter."
Winterset won the second game, 25-17. Randall Pingree had seven points and four steals. Cody Wagner had 14 rebounds while scoring four points.
"This was the first game for our team to get four full quarters of work," McCabe said. "They have improved in a lot of areas and it showed as they had a chance to succeed with only six players playing against 10 from Winterset."
Creston (31) — Cole Higgins 10, Evan Jacobson 6, Tucker Flynn 6, Jacob Cook 5, Dustin Merritt 2, Gavin Sickels 2. Rebounds — Flynn 5. Steals — Higgins 2.

Hannah Hood had 12 points and 13 rebounds for Creston. Cammy Rutherford added nine points and 13 rebounds.
"The girls gave a good effort. The lead change back and forth several times," coach Larry Peterson said. "It was a good experience for them to play in a tight game like that. We had a chance at the end, and just didn't quite execute the play."
Creston won the B game, 8-3, led by Katie Powers' six points.
Creston (23) — Hannah Hood 12, Cammy Rutherford 9, Madison Callahan 2. Rebounds — Hood 13, Rutherford 13, Rachel Shepherd 3, Callahan 3, Kristy Powers 2. Steals — Shepherd 2, Cydney Seley 2, Rutherford 2, Hood 2.

A 13-2 first quarter carried West Central Valley seventh-grade girls to a 33-12 victory over Creston Monday.

Day 1 Istanbul
You are free to arrive in Istanbul at any time. A G Adventures representative will meet you at the airport and transfer you to our joining hotel. Please note that check in time is approximately 2pm, but the hotel will be happy to store luggage if you arrive early. There are no planned activities today, until the evening when you will meet your Tour Leader and fellow group members for a welcome meeting. Check the notice board for a message from your Tour Leader or ask at reception for the exact time and location of this group meeting. Afterwards, why not take the option of heading out for a meal in a local restaurant nearby with your travel companions. If you arrive late, your leader will leave you a message at the front desk. Today is a good day to visit the atmospheric Grand Bazaar if you have some free time, as it is closed on Sundays. Overnight in Istanbul.
Day 2 Istanbul (1B)
We begin our day in Istanbul with a tour to the Blue Mosque, Hippodrome and the magnificent Aya Sofya. Built as one of the great churches of the Byzantine Empire, it was converted into a mosque after the Ottoman conquest. We explore the beautiful Blue Mosque, admiring the symmetry and internal tile work of the building. As it is a working mosque, take the chance to learn more about the ceremony behind Islam, the religion of around 98% of Turks. In front of the Blue Mosque, the ancient Hippodrome was once the scene of chariot races and now houses monuments from various stages of Istanbul's history. The remainder of your time is free - consider visiting the Topkapi Palace, the magnificent former home of the sultans, or wander down to the Bosphorus to check out the hubbub of the ferries and fishermen going about their daily business. Our boutique hotel is within walking distance of all the sites and shopping in the old city or relax at a café sipping on some sweet Turkish tea with the locals.
Days 3-4 Cappadocia (2B,1D)
Flight to Cappadocia. We will have plenty of free time to take in the area and its attractions. Visit the Goreme Open Air Museum, a complex of medieval painted cave churches carved out by Orthodox monks. There are more than 10 caves to visit, many of the churches are up to 1000 years old and still retain amazing colour and vibrancy. Hire a bike or catch a local bus and explore some of the other villages in the area. The village of Mustafapasa, is a popular choice. Many of the houses date back to the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries and display fine examples of stonework. One of the best ways to explore Cappadocia is on foot. Take the two-hour trek through the beautiful Pigeon Valley, named for its many dovecotes. Explore many old houses, churches and orchards, all boasting fabulous views. The walk finishes in the town of Uçhisar, which is well worth exploring. The natural castle-like fortress is riddled with man-made cave homes and dovecotes and dominates the skyline of Cappadocia. This is a great place to take a lunch break in one of the many restaurants before catching a local bus back to Goreme. During one of our evenings here, we will travel to a local village and have dinner with a local family. While enjoying the home made menu, with dishes that change according to the food in season, take the chance to ask our friendly hosts all about life in rural Cappadocia. Please note if you have pre-booked the Turkey Hot Air Balloon Adventure, you will be flying on Day 4. Overnight in Avanos (2 nights) Estimated travel time: Flight Istanbul to Cappadocia 1 hour
Day 5 Beysehir (1B)
Departing Goreme, we explore an underground city. First built by the Phrygians between the eighth and seventh centuries BC, this underground city was most famously used as the hiding place for the first Christians of the area, when they were escaping from the persecution of the Roman Empire between the fifth and tenth centuries AD. During our visit you'll be able to see how people transferred their surface lives to the underground. There are cellars, rooms for food storage, kitchens, churches, stables, wine and oil presses and shafts for ventilation. There are around 30 underground cities in the region. We are going to visit one sample of those today. After this visit we make our way to the city of Konya. Konya was the capital of the Seljuk Turks, and is home to some of the best Seljuk architecture in the country. Wander the streets and enjoy these beautiful and historic buildings. It was also here in the thirteenth century that the poet, Mevlana Rumi, founded the mystic Islamic sect known as the whirling dervishes. Consider visiting the museum, dedicated to Mevlana Rumi. As well as finding out more about the history of the dervishes, it is a fascinating place to people watch, continuously flooded with faithful pilgrims coming to pay homage. In the afternoon, we travel to Beysehir where we will spend the night. On the way, we will stop at a rare traditional wooden mosque dating from the 13 century where we are lucky enough to have the local imam perform the call to prayer for us. This is a great chance to learn more about this and another Islamic religious traditions. Estimated travel time: 4hrs
Day 6 Antalya (1B)
Today is an relatively early start (8am) as we travel by private vehicle directly to the city of Antalya.

Spend time wandering the little antiquities stores, or enjoying a coffee and cake at one of the stylish cafes. Afterwards head down to the picturesque harbour. While there is no beach as such, buying a drink at one of the many seaside cafes entitles you to a deck chair and direct access to the turquoise waters. In the evening, pick one of the many attractive outdoor restaurants for a meal of local seafood specialties. The following morning we head to the small village of Uçagiz, where we will board our boat, ready to enjoy a full day excursion on the beautiful Turkish waters. On board, the facilities are simple.

Now preserved as a museum village, it consists of hundreds of run down but still mostly intact Greek-style houses and churches covering a small mountainside. After that we'll go to the famous "Blue Lagoon" beach at nearby Oludeniz.

The massive, well preserved theatre dominates the view down Harbour Street, which leads to the long-silted-up harbour. The impressive two-storey library, whose façade has been carefully reconstructed from all original pieces, was built in 125AD and once held nearly 12,000 scrolls. There is even a chance to see 2000 year-old public toilets! Once part of Ephesus itself, but now to be found on the outskirts of Selçuk, are the remains of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Temple of Artemis. Today only one column remains of this ancient structure. Also visit the picturesque village of Sirince where you can sample some of the local wine or shop for crafts.

Meaning & Origins
Biblical name (meaning 'bee' in Hebrew), borne by the nurse of Rebecca (Genesis 35:8) and by a woman judge and prophet (Judges 4–5) who led the Israelites to victory over the Canaanites. It has always been popular as a Jewish name. It was in use among Christians by the mid 16th century and was taken up by the Puritans in the 17th century, in part because the bee was a symbol of industriousness. Since then it has enjoyed enormous popularity, peaking in the 1960s. Among other famous bearers is the actress Deborah Kerr (1921–2007).

If you havent seen this yet its a must see. enjoy!
Davone Bess
Had my surround sound turned up and was in my kitchen making a snack and heard that hit live. It sounded like a car crash.
Jets suck, Bills suck, Patriots suck.
Your avatar isn't implying that you want to draft him, is it?
Great hit, but something tells me in the NFL this would have been 15 yard penalty.
OMG...that wasn't a penalty, I think that was 1st degree assault and battery. Damn I would love to have that guy opposite Wake one day.
Suck for Luck didn't work.
How about Play Like Clowns For Clowney?
What kind of a name is Jadeveon? What kind of drugs does one have to take just to come up with that ****? What is wrong with Scott or Jim?
Bill Belichick on "putting the tape on"
I've been watching him all year..... And even saw some HS tapes on him. He is as dominant as Bruce Smith was. The only way we get him is if we trade up in '14. I'm guessing the #1 or #2 spot if there's a franchise QB.
If you live in the South, no doubt you already know about Clowney. If this was the first time you saw him play, he does stuff like that all the time. Maybe not that dramatic, but the speed and strength of that guy is amazing! Think of a slightly bigger version of Jason Taylor. If by some miracle next year we were able to draft this guy, I might die of from a heart attack just because brain and heart might explode with excitement.
