Value(s) for Money? Philanthropy as a Catalyst for Social Change (March 6-9, 2014)
Increasing social and environmental challenges, writ globally, are raising the stakes for philanthropy to find "solutions". The deeply complex nature of these challenges, however, defies easy fixes and requires more sophisticated and diffuse systems level approaches. Is the philanthropic sector ready, or capable of meeting critical systemic challenges? Probably not, as seen through the lens of Michael Edwards in a recent think piece entitled 'Beauty and the Beast: Can Money Ever Foster Social Transformation?'.
Innovative funding mechanisms that support social change - like crowd-funding, social impact bonds, payments for eco-system services and prize-backed challenges - have diversified the funding landscape and brought in new resources. The system, however, is arguably out of balance with too much focus placed on revenue-generation, and directing financial resources, through the market. At the same time, less funding is available for the deeper, less tangible drivers of social change - change that is driven by the beneficiaries themselves and is inherently more democratic. Money, while a seemingly essential tool in change processes, can be a "curse", reinforcing or exacerbating the very circumstances and power imbalances at the heart of systemic social challenges.
The objective of this program, in partnership with Hivos, is to shape a new narrative on funding for deep social change that can influence current and future funding trends and global policies.

One of the nation’s largest diversified media companies, the Hearst Corporation owns 29 television stations, two radio stations, 15 daily newspapers, 15 U.S. magazines (including Town & Country, Esquire, and Cosmo), 20 U.K. magazines, 20 business-to-business information services, some of the most widely syndicated cartoons and newspaper columns in the world.
Hearst approached Nesnadny + Schwartz to reconceive and produce its in-house magazine, @Hearst. That’s a little like Julia Child asking you to rustle her up some supper.
Even huge media conglomerates with high-profile brands in their portfolios sometimes have run-of-the-mill employee newsletters. That’s what we didn’t want to do.
Instead we developed a quarterly, feature-driven “mini-magazine” with a bold style (not unlike Hearst’s high-profile properties). Each issue revolved around a theme relevant to Hearst’s seven divisions and 100+ brands: from race and the media (with the first Black supermodel ever featured on the cover of a major fashion magazine) to Katrina (with features ranging from the challenges of forecasting disaster to covering the aftermath).

On the left, built in 2016-2019, this Contemporary skyscraper was designed by Little Diversified Architectural Consulting with the structural engineering carried out by Speight, Marshall and Francis for Armada Hoffler Properties to serve as a mixed-use office, retail, and apartment building. The 28-story 300 foot (91 meter) tall building features a five-story podium clad in red brick up to the fourth floor with large window bays and facades from historic buildings on Main Street and Parish Street integrated into the exterior, and a rooftop terrace with planters, with the podium housing commercial office space, multiple retail spaces, the building's lobby, and a parking garage. Above the fifth floor is a more slender 23-story tower with a glass curtain wall on the exterior, curved facades, multiple balconies, and a rooftop deck with a pool, which houses 23 residential condominiums and 117 apartments. The building, upon its completion, became the tallest building in Downtown Durham, and filled a vacant lot that had been mostly empty since the majority of the Geer Building was demolished in 1972, and the remaining section of the building, which formerly housed the Durham Woolworth's, was demolished in 2003 after it was damaged in a fire. The building is, so far, the tallest structure built during the construction boom in Downtown Durham that has transformed the area in the past 20 years.
On the right, built in 1935-1937, this Art Deco-style skyscraper was designed by George Watts Carr and Shreve, Lamb, and Harmon, with the assistance of structural engineering firm Syska and Hennessy, and built by George Kane for John Sprunt Hill, serving as the headquarters of the Home Savings and Trust Company. The skyscraper replaced the old Durham Post Office, which formerly stood on the same site from 1906 until 1935. The 17-story 202 foot (62 meter) tall building features a limestone-clad exterior, a six-story podium that extends south of the main tower, a two-story podium that extends to the west of the main tower, a tower with setbacks at the top, three-over-three metal-frame double-hung windows, metal spandrel panels between windows above the first floor, black stone trim at the base and around the first floor bays, and aluminum doors with transoms featuring decorative aluminum screens with geometric Art Deco motifs at the main entrances. The building is a contributing structure in the Downtown Durham Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. The building housed the offices of the successor banks to the Home Savings and Trust Company, known as Central Carolina Bank and Trust, or CCB, and SunTrust Bank, until 2006, after which the building continued to house various commercial office tenants. Between 2013 and 2015, the building was rehabilitated for adaptive reuse as the 21c Museum Hotel Durham, which was carried out under the direction of Deborah Berke Partners and Skanska.

THE AGE OF FLOWERING PLANTS
ANGIOSPERM means "seed borne in vessel," while GYMNOSPERM means "naked seed," a reference to the lack of protective structure enveloping the seed. One reason that flowering plants were able to diversify so dramatically and spread during the Cretaceous and Cenozoic, or MODERN, the era was the evolution of new structures and tissues such as the carpel, a womb-like vessel that encloses angiosperm seeds and endosperm, a placenta-like tissue that nourishes the young plant as it develop within the seed, Today, angiosperm dominate terrestrial life on the planet. At an estimated 422,000 species, they compose by far the largest group of plants. They grow in greater range of environments, exhibits a wider range of growth habits, and display more variation in form than any living group of plants. In size, angiosperm range from tiny duckweed to eucaplytuses more than 330 ft (100 m) tall.
The explosion of angiosperm diversity has gone hand in hand with the proliferation of INSECTS, BIRDS, and OTHER ANIMALS that pollinate their flowers, disperse their fruits and seeds, and eat their leaves.

Diversification of household income sources though small livestock activities
An important part of the ‘Making a Living from Livestock’ project involves strengthening of livestock commodity associations such as LCDs and ISALS. Bambelelani Goat group has been a beneficiary of the project in this aspect. Established in 2014, the 17-member goat group has grown from humble beginnings to operating a successful enterprise through their lending and savings. Through the project they have been assisted with trainings in goat husbandry, veterinary services for their goats, as well as financial management skills that have proved crucial in helping them to sustain their successful business for the past 3 years.

Because the yield of maize increased so significantly, farmers can aim to diversify their crop yields for the first time. Cabbage is among the new crops introduced.
The absence of focus is not necessarily bad per se. Depending on the way you handle it, diversification can be a good thing.

A ausência de foco não é necessariamente ruim. Dependendo do jeito que você lida com isso, diversificar pode ser bom.

Diversified livelihoods such as beekeeping can help improve the income of rural communities. Apart from producing honey to sell to market, beekeeping helps promote conservation of the natural environment, which many poor communities depend on for food and energy
UNDP’s Climate Change Adaptation Project (CCAP) is committed to helping vulnerable rural families increase their incomes.
As part of the livelihood component, the project provided four beehives, beekeeping tools and jars for honey, including a 12-day training that gave beneficiaries the necessary skills to maintain their beekeeping business.

Text story:
_________
For Karima, one of the happiest moments of her life was when she earned her first thousand Afghani (US$ 15), when she sold a kilo of honey made from her own bee-keeping business. It may seem like a small amount, but for Karima, it was life changing!
Karima is a housewife and a mother of four. Her husband could barely feed the family from the work he could get, so Karima’s contribution to the household income was significant.
She has seen a lot in her life. She still remembers the agony and frustration when they had no money and their son was sick. As tears well in her eyes, she relates, “We were not able to buy him medicine. We couldn’t do anything but cry and wait for him to either die or recover by himself.”
Her husband, Khalil, who was very fond of honey, tried his hand at beekeeping before, but because he didn’t know how to maintain his beehives, his bees all died.
But, Karima and Khalil did not give up. They decided to seek help from the Directorate of Agriculture in Herat city.

To try and diversify the foods he eats, Aketi usually gets to have a
little of whatever we are having for lunch or dinner, since often
we're eating local fruits and vegetables that grow in the wild too!
Sometimes, though, we splurge and Aketi discovered the deliciousness
of spaghetti this week. He was hilarious to watch as he shoved noodles
into his mouth. What a mess he was! (and usually is while eating)
Of course, he got SO caught up in eating that he forgot he needed to
pee, and started going right NEXT to the plate of spaghetti, and even
IN it! Oh no!!
We have decided to diversify our viewing habits away from the traditional TV method. We hardly ever watch live TV these days - maybe only on Saturday nights when Strictly is on - and our Virgin TV package is getting rather expensive.
So, we are trying out the Amazon Fire Stick. First impressions are good, though it's taking a bit of time to get used to it. We already had a smart TV in one room, but our second TV in the back room is just a normal LCD telly. It is not greatly enhanced by the Fire Stick.
While I like the functionality I do think it is pretty slow for a media device. It can take quite a few clicks just to get to view something in the BBC iPlayer app, for instance, and the menus can be slow to refresh. Still, other than this I do like it as a widget for watching my shows.
