"Seven years ago, I called you up here for one meeting. And you kept coming up." - Jack Donaghy to Liz Lemon
Her show had been overtaken, the jobs of her friends were thrust into peril, and she had just spent an inordinate sum of cash on street vender hot dogs to prove a lesson to the citizens of New York about not line-cutting. It was the day that Liz Lemon writer, feminist, workaholic, misanthropist, lover of sandwiches all met her match: Jack Donaghy executive, capitalist, workaholic, egotist, wearer of the post-6 tuxedo.
Their initial exchange was hardly a pleasant one, with Jack tossing insulting presumptions by way of Liz and Liz countering with a scowl so sour it'd melt a solid brick of night cheese.
And from there, did the relationship bloom starting off as a classic case of employee vs. management/artist vs. suit animosity, evolving quickly to a protégée and mentor ordeal, and landing ultimately in the realm of good old codependent friendship. And as with every small screen incarnation of the phenomenon (when it occurs between two adult humans of compatible gender), there was the palpable hint of romantic tension. Will they? Won't they? Should they?
On any other show, they might have. But 30 Rock had different plans for its starring duo. Plans like the co-attendance of events like high school reunions, business conventions riddled with confusing acronyms, and birthday parties for the surviving members of the Hapsburg lineage. Together, Liz and Jack would take on ad hoc Mamma Mias, face the wrath of certified loon Gavin Volure, and dive headfirst into a frenzy that can only be described as Christmas Attack Zone. The better part of this past decade has seen the pair off on some of television's most unique misadventures to date. The relationship concocted between 30 Rock's starring players has made not only for a special kind of comedy, but for a special kind of heartwarming as well.
As such, the long awaited farewell these characters were charged with bidding audiences not to mention each other couldn't have been an easy feat to pull off. Melding the inimitable brand of reality-bending, self-skewering, rapid-fire humor with the sentiment and substance that has layered the Liz and Jack camaraderie since Season 1 would be seemingly implausible. How do you do justice not only to the characters individually, but to the chemistry they have built? The unparalleled friendship in which we have reveled for seven years now?
I couldn't spell out the formula for you though I do imagine every draft of Liz and Jack's big sendoff had some pejorative reference to Top Chef but I can say with confidence that 30 Rock, as it has done with so many of its spectacular gags, episodes, and, hell, seasons pulled it off. Perfectly. Following a series of madcap self-realizations and back-to-work high jinks, Liz Lemon finding herself charged with crafting one last episode of TGS with Tracy Jordan to fulfill her contractual obligation to NBC which is so invested in bringing the TGS ep count to a solid 150, lest it (by its own contractual obligation) be forced to pay Tracy Jordan several million dollars. I don't get it, but hey, I never went to business school.
Liz isn't exactly hesitant to return to work her time spent at home, especially in the hours of her family's absentia (her children at school and Criss having taken a receptionist position in a dentist's office) has begun to drive her mad. But she wants to be rid of TGS once and for all so that she can move on and start anew. Thus, the classic Liz Lemon frustration sets in especially when she's dealt the usual dose of difficult behavior by her adversary Tracy.
Striving desperately to put on "the big show" a task with which she has struggled time and time and time and time and time again Liz finds all parties reliably problematic. Jenna, having sought fame unsuccessfully in dramatic television and Hollywood alike, is focusing her energies on her post-TGS Broadway career and is finding it hard to tap into her true feelings about leaving the show behind. Pete is maneuvering a covert operation to fake his own death and rid himself of his miserable life once and for all. And Lutz, who has won the right to choose the last free lunch thanks to the name roulette, wants to order Blimpies.
But the biggest problem Liz is facing is not her childish headliner, her self-obsessed second biller, her maniacal producer, or her lackadaisical writers. It is, in fact, her perfectly groomed work husband-slash-uncle: Jack. Caught in the throes of his own identity crises, Jack's renouncement of the workaholic lifestyle catapults Liz straight into the Hollywood sign of a psychological meltdowns. Still hung up on his mother's dying words ("I just want you to be happy"), Jack questions his own satisfaction with his lot in life. Now that he is Kabletown's president, Jack should, ostensibly, be riding high. He's the envy of businessmen everywhere and the bane all left-leaning socialists' existences (Good Sportsmanship Award goes to Nancy Pelosi for a self-mocking cameo). He is a karate master, a spiritual maven, a follicular dynamo. He even managed to convince former lovers Nancy and Elisa (Julianne Moore and Salma Hayek, back and with brand new accents!) into communal sexual congress. Jack has won at pretty much everything. But he's still not happy.
Thus, he opens up to Liz. He drops some truth bombs on her mind grapes, admitting that his longtime counsel of her, his glorification of work and business, was demonically misguided. Liz, feeling hurt and betrayed, refuses to forgive Jack for his misdirection, abandonment, and personal affronts. More than anything else, it seems that Liz cannot face the man, whom she has held in such high regard, as a failure. Her mentor (whether she has ever been able to refer to him as such or not) has fallen from glory. That's a hard cheesy blaster to swallow.
And while the final episode of TGS picks up steam in its downward spiral, Jack too explores a colossal meltdown. Weeping openly to Jenna, expressing fond appreciation for his underlings, bidding farewell to members of the NBC staff, Jack sends off signs of depression and suicidal behavior, gradually frightening Liz more and more. But one thing at a time.
Liz is able to rectify her lunchtime follies, finally allowing long-suffering Lutz the simple victory of a Blimpies lunch, and is happy to brush off Pete's odd suggestions of his harebrained ploy. But there is another standing problem she must address: the absence of Tracy.
[PAGEBREAK]Tracy has been systematically delaying production on the episode with a new enthusiasm for the game. Liz assumes that he's after the money NBC would owe him in its failure to produce a 150th episode of TGS, or perhaps simply upping the ante on troublemaking for the fun of making her and everyone else's lives miserable. But fans, we know better.
For my money, all of his crackpot theories on the government and dinosaurs, all of his goofy attempts at clever wordplay, all of the non sequitur exhibitions of mental disarray added up do not amount to the tear-inducing performance that Tracy Morgan gives in the series finale of 30 Rock.
Selfish, manipulative, lecherous all things that describe Tracy. But one cannot say that he isn't pure of heart. First, Tracy seeks the attention of an extremely busy Kenneth the new president of NBC, named as such by Kabletown Pres. Jack Donaghy. Tracy is frustrated when he can't get a hold of Kenneth, citing a promise the "young" page once made to "always be there" for his pal. But when Tracy does finally have Kenneth's ear, his request is surprising: he asks Kenneth to free himself of this promise. He is proud of his friend, and wants to see him soar without the weight of a demanding presence like Tracy anchoring him down. The two share a sweet, heartwarming hug one followed by Tracy bossing Kenneth around and forcing him to pick up his out-of-gas car on the LIE. But still. It's sweet.
But even that doesn't hold a candle to his later conversation with Liz. His old boss tracks him down via the help of a frustrated Dot Com, and the two share a heart-to-heart in the most appropriate of locales: the very strip club where they formed their union seven years ago in the pilot episode of 30 Rock. There, Liz learns that Tracy's behavior is not out of malice or greed, but out of sadness. Having been abandoned by his father and passed over by so many potential foster parents, Tracy is afraid to say goodbye to his coworkers and friends. He doesn't want to lose them forever. And in keeping with Tracy's demand to be forthright and honest, Liz does admit that after TGS, they may lose touch. She admits that their relationship is based on mandated professional interaction, that she finds him difficult and overwhelming. But she also admits that for some strange reason, she loves and cares about him. And that she'll miss him dearly once he's gone from her life.
And this honest declaration of her genuine feelings, warts and all, is enough to encourage Tracy to come back and put on the show. And when he does, he shares his own feelings: with Frank and Toofer, with a mentally dissipating Pete, and even with Jenna, with whom Tracy has had a complicated but meaningful relationship all throughout 30 Rock's run.
So now that the Tracy problem is solved, Liz must move onto Jack, whom she discovers is planning to kill himself when she happens upon a video suicide note in his office. Liz tracks Jack down by doing some computer mumbo jumbo to his cell phone (I didn't go to spy school, either), finding him on the side of a bridge, from which he leaps
Onto his newly purchased boat, upon which he'll sail the seas until he figures out exactly what it is that might make him happy. Jack conned Liz into believing the worst in order to get her to forgive him before they would be forced to say goodbye. And although that whole ordeal is a bit messed up, she does. Because what follows is the most beautiful thing in 30 Rock history.
Pent-up, repressed, feelings-hating Irish Catholic Jack admits, in his own way (by syntactical breakdown and examination of his phraseology's Latin origins) that he loves Liz. That throughout his life and work, the one consistent element that has kept him happy, that has kept his head above water through thick and thin, that has proven to be the solitary thing he might always be able to count on, is Liz Lemon herself. And here's where we're quite sure that the lack of "payoff" for the alluded romantic tension is quite possibly the best gift this show might have given us. What Liz and Jack have between them is unspeakably beautiful. The unique friendship shared between these two loons dissimilar in many ways but identically lonesome at the core (which is what makes their relationship so wholly perfect) would have been shortchanged if reduced to a passionate kiss or a swapping of wedding vows. Okay, technically, Liz and Jack did kiss (only to fool everyone into believing that Jack didn't smooch Avery's mother), and technically, Liz and Jack did get married (by accident). But clearly, neither of those count. What counts is the sensational expression of appreciation in this scene, when Liz and Jack say goodbye for what might be the very last time.
Until Jack, about 30 seconds into his 'round-the-world boat tour, comes up with the greatest idea he's ever had: the clear dishwasher. So you can see what's going on inside! Liz is totally on board. Jack is back in action.
Sure, it might not be the permanent solution he sought. But Jack lives for the game. He's happiest when he's on the hunt be it for a new idea, a new lover, or even a new life's journey. Like Liz, Jack suffers from his own perpetual self-directed rejection. He might do wonderful things with his life, but he'll probably never truly live up to his own standards. But while this might be a tragic situation for anyone else, Jack has something many don't: he has a friendship with Liz. One that means the world to him. Hell, one that is his world. And if clear dishwashers means staying in Liz Lemon's life, then clear dishwashers it is.
And honest to goodness, I'd buy the hell out of that product.
The epilogue treats us to a year down the road, with Jack flying high on his refreshed passion for the ol' business ventures, Liz as showrunner of an NBC sitcom Grizz and Hers ("YOU'RE Sam?!"), Tracy finally reuniting with his biological father, Jenna a Tony-nominated (close enough!) Broadway actress/flasher, and Pete almost escaping the clutches of his wife and children.
And Kenneth?
Well, we catch up with Kenneth a few generations down the road. Ageless as always and still running NBC. And finally ready to give an experimental new series a whirl: the story of a woman who runs her own comedy sketch show at the network, pitched by none other than Liz Lemon's granddaughter.
Okay, yes. That ending is f***ing ridiculous. But I love it.
I love everything about it.
And now with the episode summed up and the fates of the characters lain out, we are actually faced with saying goodbye to 30 Rock. No easy feat not for Tracy Jordan, and not for us fans. The show has given us characters to adore, quotes to parrot incessantly, songs to hum on the subway (are you more of a "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah" kind of fan or a "Muffin Top" kind of fan?). 30 Rock is a very special kind of show not the sort that breaches the airwaves every network season. Bronzed with such a special, unparalleled sense of humor, and instilled with such real, meaningful friendships, 30 Rock is a show that will not soon leave our hearts or memories. We'll recall the turns of Liz, Jack, Tracy, Jenna, and Kenneth fondly. The ridiculous and the sentimental alike. This show has pulled off both with such spectacular talent.
And as we flash through a memory montage of Kenneth undertaking a fundraising street performance, Jenna rattling off her (apparently fictitious!) sexual escapades with Mickey Rourke, Tracy delaying a phone conversation in order to entertain himself with the Rerun Dance, Jack sipping a glass of Scotch and staring out his office window, and Liz oh Liz wolfing her teamster subs, high-fiving a million angels, and inspiring each and every one of us to convert to Lizbianism, we smile.
We sure had some times.
Thank you, Tina.

All of you Mad Men fans are probably tripping out like Roger Sterling at an LSD party right now, because you can't believe the pictures of Pete Campbell and his mistress Beth are actually in the real world and not on television. But no, the pair is a real couple. How do we know? Because they had their picture taken together in front of a step and repeat on a red carpet last night. That's how everyone goes steady these days. It's the new giving a gal your fraternity pin or changing your relationship status on Facebook. So, yes, the on-screen chemistry between the two when they were doing the horizontal hula on the shag rug wasn't acting. Wow, Mad Men is basically JDate now.
But yes, Vincent Kartheiser, who plays bitch-faced baby Pete and Alexis Bledel who plays his Sylvia Plath-esque mistress Beth (and who also played Rory Gilmore on Gilmore Girls) have confirmed the dating rumors by going out in public and holding hands. Now, this doesn't mean you should worry about dating rumors every time you hold a child's hand to help it cross the street. That isn't how it works. Remember, you are not a celebrity so no one cares. But if you and your partner are both beloved (or hated, in Pete's case) television characters, well, then you can't just go around holding hands willy nilly and all. What would people think? They'd think you're a couple. Duh.

Legalization Side Effect: Little Kids Ingesting Pot
(NEWSER) – Here's a consequence of the push for medical marijuana few thought about: More young kids are accidentally ingesting the stuff. A Colorado researcher determined that 14 children under the age of 12 were treated at one emergency room since 2009, when pot was legalized for medical use in the state, reports Reuters andScienceAGogo (the latter with a "Honey, I baked the kids" headline). The number may not sound overwhelming, but consider that the total in the previous four years was ... zero.

TAS works with sedans, wagons, SUVs, CUVs, minivans, pickup trucks, and full size vans. Contact us at (480) 464-7007 to confirm compatibility with your vehicle and to get a free quote.

Customer Reviews for Eco-Friendly Brown Solid Plain Roller Window Shades
"Good quality"
By JG from Atlanta GA
Nice texture, perfect black out, and easy installationView this product
"exactly what we needed"
By customer
These shades are exactly what we thought they would be and just what we needed. Dark enough to give us privacy but yet you can still see light through them. Also, I messed up on measuring, I was so worried about the width, I missed the length! They sent me a replacement at 1/2 the cost. Great customer service!View this product

Sucks we don't have a costco where I live. What is the thinking behind the no grain? Definitely checking out the website. Yeah we are not happy with the weight loss one. She hasn't lost weight and outputs way more and it smells worse. Cosmo does get some people food but I control the amounts...usually what we are having for dinner....it's the easiest way to get her seizure medication (liquid) down.
But I'm thinking that if Molly has already gotten an ear infection this young, it might be a problem area and maybe diet would help with that.
Ick, I don't like drooling slobbering dogs. I mean they are cute but the ick factor is too big there for me.

We let our baby sleep with us in our bed. Is this a good idea?
- Liz and Eric
Experts recommend room-sharing without bed-sharing to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and other sleep-related deaths in infants up to 1 year of age.
Cosleeping — sharing your bed with your baby — is an issue that people often disagree on. Proponents say it helps a baby fall asleep, is easier on nursing mothers, and promotes the bond between parent and child.
Opponents of cosleeping say that in addition to making the baby dependent on the parents to fall asleep, it can be dangerous. The adult bed can be unsafe — parents could roll over onto the baby, the baby could be suffocated in the bedding or could get trapped between the mattress and a wall or headboard. Cosleeping increases the risk of SIDS, especially in babies of mothers who smoke.
Many parents find that they can get some of the benefits of cosleeping without the risks by having the baby sleep in a bassinet, play yard, or crib in the same room, near their bed. And products are available that attach to the side of the bed so that babies are within reach of their parents but still in their own safe space.
Parents who do choose to cosleep should be sure to:
Do not bed-share if you are a smoker or have taken any drugs, alcohol, or other substances that could make you groggy and less responsive to your child (such as nighttime cough medicines, certain pain medications, antidepressants, or sleep aids). Cosleeping is also more dangerous when there are multiple people, including children, in the bed.

When you are in a hurry or on a diet choosing a healthy meal replacement can be difficult. The choice for a majority people are liquid diet drinks. These nutritional drink supplements are often high in protein and low fat content. Nutritional drink supplements were first intended for the athlete who needed to increase their caloric and protein intake, because they burned many calories during their intense workouts. For Athletes these liquid meals were full of essential proteins and added some extra carbs to recoup from their workout.
A new use was created for these high protein, low fat drinks. In the 1970's the diet craze started as people were trying to squeeze into their favorite polyester clothing and head out to their favorite disco. Looking good became trendy and people were trying to lose weight, look good and get down. People were in search of the magic cure were sold on a liquid diet. No we are not talking beer or alcohol but a drinkable nutritional diet supplement available premade usually in a can or in a powdered form. These nutritional drink supplements were full of proteins and vitamins.
Well as the diet craze grew so did the market for nutritional supplements. Over the next few decades the number of diet products grew. With more and more competition in the market place the growth made it difficult for one diet and nutritional product to stand out from the rest. So in order to drive more sales, the diet and nutritional claims of products by manufacturers grew more elaborate and more often than not the medical claims were grossly overstated. Consumers felt like they could not make an educated decision and if the nutritional drinks, powers and pills did anything beneficial at all. They looked for help and the call was answered by the US government and regulation.
In the US, a dietary supplement is defined under the DSHE Act aka the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994. This act defined a nutritional drink supplement as a product that is intended to supplement the diet and contains any of the following dietary ingredients:
Now that the labeling and benefit claims have been government regulated. Just remember that yes, these nutritional diet drinks be very tasty and chalked full of high proteins, amino acids and vitamins. However, just like anything else moderation is the key. Don't consume too many liquid replacement meals because you don't want to exceed recommend doses of vitamins, minerals and proteins. An over use of diet drinks and supplements has the potential to lead to toxic effects in their body.
Here is a list of some of ActivieForever.com's best selling drinkable supplements

Using Five Element Acupuncture for the Treatment of Depression
Depression is the most commonly diagnosed medical condition in daily practice. Treatments that address stagnation in the liver Qi are most common for dealing with it. Such treatments often do help, but not always as expected. When treatments are carried out on the basis of the Five Phases theory, the therapeutic results prove much better.
This lecture looks at nearly the entire spectrum of information on: how to treat depression through the Five Elements, how to make a diagnosis, how symptoms should be analysed, and how acupuncture can be combined with both Chinese herbs and with nutritional recommendations.
During the lecture, I will also conduct a demonstration in order to show that disturbances in the elements of fire and wood are the primary factors that bring on depression, meaning that the key to success lies in the regulation of these two elements. The treatment will primarily focus on acupuncture.By the end of the lecture, participants will come to realize that a thorough understanding and concrete implementation of this theory in daily practice can offer broad applications, able to deal with a wide range of symptoms.

I was volunteering at the Democratic headquarters in Santa Cruz when a woman called from the San Lorenzo Valley saying she was confused by a letter she received with a large banner that read "Democrats for McPherson."
I explained to her that the letter was purposefully misleading and that the Democratic Party of Santa Cruz County endorses Eric Hammer for supervisor in the 5th District.
The worst part of the letter was a plea for money to withstand a "barrage of negative ads that will come from the opposition." Eric Hammer ran a positive campaign in the June primarily based on listening to the needs of local residents, and he is running a positive, forward-looking campaign in the November runoff.
No doubt Mr. McPherson wishes he had been endorsed by the Democratic Party, but that would have been impossible, since he was a Republican until he failed to win the supervisor's seat in June. Then he became an independent to help him win in the heavily Democratic district.
Do not be deceived by McPherson's change of party, nor the lies in his campaign letters. The Democrats of Santa Cruz County want you to vote for Eric Hammer.

It's almost marathon Sunday in New York -- again.
Yes, the city has another marathon, one that is but 1/100th the size of the world-famous New York City Marathon but filled with plenty of passion for the sport of running nonetheless.
It's called the Brooklyn Marathon. And if you win, you get paid.
The race is the flagship event of a young company called, appropriately, NYCRUNS, which owns and manages some small and not-so-small races in the New York area.
Five hundred runners will line up this Sunday for the 26.2-mile race, staged entirely inside Prospect Park. That is double the field of 2011's inaugural race. (By comparison, more than 50,000 runners crossed the finish line at November 3's ING New York City Marathon.)*
Steve Lastoe, the race director and founder of NYCRUNS, said the company was proud to offer prize money.
"While the cash awards for this year's race are modest we felt it was important to reward top performance and, as the marathon grows in coming years, we will increase those amounts," Lastoe said in a statement. "Supporting the running community is part of our mission."
The winning man and woman will each get $500, according to NYCRUNS. Second place earns you $250; third place $125. The top three male and female finishers in each age group will get credit for a future race from the company.
The course includes three lower loops and six full loops of Prospect Park. Anyone familiar with the park's hills knows that course is no joke.
NYCRUNS said it hopes to grow the race and move the course into the streets of Kings County. That would spare runners the mental challenge of looping the park over and over again while also drawing in the neighboring communities.
The gun for the Brooklyn Marathon goes off at 8:30 a.m. Sunday, November 17, 2013.
*I was one of them, and so was Steve Lastoe. Disclosure: I have also run one NYCRUNS race and am registered for another.

It's a yearly tradition for many families-- Buy the kids their costumes. In a previous post I noted that we've been slowly buying costumes, as we find them--as we have the money. You know the routine. So, this past weekend Julie, as my Chief Procurement Officer, told me that 'Operation Halloween Costumes' was complete...EXCEPT for the little princess Sadie! Julie came up with an awesome idea. See, I take Julie to work. Yeah it's more gas money, but it gives me peace of mind. Well, her idea was 'Drop me off and then you and Sadie can go out on a father-daughter date night!' Perfect! On a budget (another blog post directed to big families is on the way) I offered Sadie her choice of some fast food restaurants (Chide me all you want--YUP YUP Big spender... I know yatta yatta--but if she had a choice, like all of my kids, she'd pick a fast food place). After dinner, I took her to the more posh GIGANTO big box retailer in town and let her look at costumes. Julie and I had an idea of what we could afford. And, for her part, unknowingly, Sadie picked a little princess costume right in the range--not Super Girl-- not the pink Power Ranger-- just a simple little princess costume. I asked her over and over--just to make sure she had what she wanted.
More important, Julie and I try to spend time with our kids one-on-one. We want them to have their individual time. And Sadie had time to talk with me about the restaurant and costumes. Yeah, with a big family we can't always window shop. So, I made sure Sadie had time to look at toys (Good idea if you're trying to come up with a Christmas list, nudge nudge). And she surprised me, locking in on certain toys and not others.
When she arrived home, with costume in tow, her little sissie and brothers pounced on her happily and she told her stories about having chicken nuggets and shopping. It was very cool!

text: A mobile phone user outside a mobile payment facility in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. our goal: to alleviate poverty by expanding access to digitally-based financial tools and services. The Challenge In This Page The Challenge The Opportunity Our Strategy Areas of Focus At A Glance up Increasing poor people's access to financial services can help them weather personal financial crises and increase their chances of climbing out of poverty. About 80 percent of the world's poor adults do not have a bank account or use other formal financial services—not only because of poverty but also due to costs, travel distance, and other barriers. Our strategy aims to capitalize on rapid advances in mobile communications and digital payment systems to connect poor households to affordable and reliable financial tools. Our Financial Services for the Poor strategy, updated in 2012, is led by Rodger Voorhies, director, and is part of the foundation's Global Development Division. down Poor people do not live in a static state of poverty. Every year, many millions of people transition out of poverty by successfully adopting new farming technologies, investing in new business opportunities, or finding new jobs. At the same time, large numbers of people fall back into poverty due to health problems, financial setbacks, and other shocks. If available at critical moments, effective tools for savings, payment, credit, and insurance can help households capture an opportunity to climb out of poverty or weather a crisis or emergency without falling deeper into poverty. Worldwide, approximately 2.5 billion people do not have a formal account at a financial institution, according to the World Bank's Global Financial Inclusion Database. As a result, most poor households operate almost entirely in the cash economy, particularly in the developing world. This means they use cash, physical assets (such as jewelry and livestock), or informal providers (such as money lenders and payment couriers) to meet their financial needs—from receiving wages to saving money for fertilizer. However, these informal mechanisms tend to be insecure, expensive, and complicated to use. And they offer limited recourse when major problems arise, such as a serious illness in the family. The Opportunity Share Share up Section down A growing body of evidence suggests that increasing poor people's access to better financial tools can help accelerate the rate at which they move out of poverty and help them hold on to economic gains. However, it is costly to serve poor people with financial services, in part because most of their transactions are conducted in cash. Storing, transporting, and processing cash is expensive for banks, insurance companies, utility companies, and other institutions, and they pass on those costs to customers. A foundation-supported initiative allows Rwandan farmers to access markets for their beans and maize using mobile phones. In wealthier countries, people conduct most of their financial activities in digital form, and value is stored virtually and transferred instantaneously. The global revolution in mobile communications, along with rapid advances in digital payment systems, is creating opportunities to connect poor households to affordable and reliable financial tools through mobile phones and other digital interfaces. In fact, research has shown that the most effective way to significantly expand poor people's access to formal financial services is through digital means. In addition to cost savings, digital financial services offer a wide array of benefits: They connect poor people to the formal financial sector and enable them to become customers and suppliers within the wider economy. Financial flows can be accurately tracked, resulting in safer and speedier transactions and less corruption and theft. Providers can use financial histories to develop products that are better suited to customers' needs, cash flow, and risk profiles, including fee-for-service offerings and smaller-unit transactions. Direct deposits (including wages and government assistance) allow money to "bypass" the home, helping users save rather than spend and often giving women more financial authority within the family. Automatic reminders, positive default options, and other choices offered via mobile phone menus offer convenience and save time. Our Strategy Share Share up Section down The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's Financial Services for the Poor program aims to play a catalytic role in broadening the reach of digital payment systems, particularly in poor and rural areas, and expanding the range of services available on these platforms. Until the infrastructure and customer base are well established, this might involve a combination of mobile banking services that are accessible via cell phones and brick-and-mortar stores where subscribers can convert cash they earn into digital money (and vice-versa). Our approach has three mutually reinforcing objectives: Reducing the amount of time and money that poor people must spend to conduct financial transactions Increasing poor people's capacity to weather financial shocks and capture income-generating opportunities Generating economy-wide efficiencies by digitally connecting large numbers of poor people to one another, financial services providers, government services, and businesses A tea vendor in Uttar Pradesh, India, checks her bank balance on her mobile phone. We are not focused on a particular product or distribution channel, but rather on innovative ways to expand access and encourage markets. At the same time, we are aware that interventions in this and other areas too often involve technologies that are made available to the intended users but are not adopted. To address this demand-side challenge, we are supporting research and product design experiments to identify design features, price incentives, and marketing messages that will encourage poor people to adopt and actively use digital financial services. We are also supporting policymakers as they work to develop policies and regulations that facilitate these developments. We believe that the combined effect of these interventions will accelerate the rate at which poor people transition out of poverty and decrease the rate at which they fall back into poverty. Our strategy also recognizes that countries are at different stages in developing an inclusive digital financial system and that we must tailor our interventions accordingly. Areas of Focus Share Share up Section down Our work falls into four areas: Go To>> Digital payment systems Digital financial services Global partnerships Research and innovation Digital payment systems In countries with a minimum level of connectivity in poor and rural areas, we work with in-country providers to extend the reach of digital payment systems into those communities and encourage poor people to adopt these systems through a mobile phone or other digital interface. Payment systems are crucial because they enable people to collect payments from customers, buy goods, pay for water and electricity, and send money to friends, family, and business partners. They also enable governments to collect taxes and disburse social payments. When these transactions are costly and inconvenient, economic activity is impeded. Digital financial services In countries where digital payment systems have taken hold in poor and rural communities, we work with banks, insurance companies, and other providers to increase the range of financial services that people can access in digital form. Many of these services are designed to meet the specific household management needs of low-income people, particularly smallholder farmers and women. Global partnerships We work at the global level with governments, donors, financial standards-setting bodies, and the private sector to maximize our collective impact on poor people's access to financial services. Research and innovation We collect data to measure the impact of our grants and interventions and to help key stakeholders make better decisions. We also conduct research and nurture innovations that could lead to longer-term improvements in delivering digital financial services on a broad scale.
