So this is goodbye. A final goodbye to me writing about Formula 1, something I have been doing for a long time now, but it´s over now.
I have been following F1 for over 30 years, and have been able to blog, comment, debate, post and write about the sport for some time now. I started on Blogspot, then moved to WordPress as I was looking for a more professional approach to my work. I have always been careful never to copy a text, and I never stole any work from others. There are so many great websites out there, really good ones who unfortunately just copy paste others work and it is a shame that they don´t own the same journalistic standard as other great blogs and websites. For me, original content has always been the priority, and yes you could read the story somewhere else, but I never assumed that every single reader interested in F1 should visit my blog. That would make me ignorant and it´s simply not realistic. Instead I worked hard to implement original work in every article, I have written more than 25,000 articles over the years, and every single one of them is by my own hands.
Instead I created something from nothing, managed to get thousands of followers on Facebook and have continued to enjoy several thousands unique hits every month here on the blog. I am proud of what I have achieved, considering the fact that I never had access to the paddock, but I still broke some pretty significant stories, regardless of the fact that breaking stories was never my priority. It was to deliver a quality product and never shy away from putting that extra bit of work into it. I think I accomplished that mission very well.
For years I have had a full-time job blogging, and for many years this was done next to a proper full-time occupation, for which I got paid. Yay! But recently my energy levels have completely emptied and I just can´t be bothered any more. One of the biggest reasons for stopping this, is due to the fact that I have never been able to break it onto the F1 scene along with the prized and utterly professional journalists around. There are so many of them I owe a huge thanks. They have inspired me, I have been able to speak to some of them and have been encouraged to keep doing what I do, but in the end, when you are faced with a brick wall no matter where you go, eventually you start believing that you really cannot jump that wall. So that is the reason. I can´t be arsed to do this anymore.
The regular follower will now that I never shy away from a fight, I never run and hide if I wrote something about other websites who are wrong or who claims this or that. We all know that some readers have their favorite websites to visit for the news, some don´t care too much and pretty much read anything from anyone, but I have always been proud of the fact that whenever a website tried to tell their readers that I am wrong, for simply doing nothing but my job, I always do what I can to enlighten my readers as to why these websites are behaving the way they do. Should you be interested, then read the article named Scurrilous? Moi? about how Pitpass thought that one of their breaking stories was exclusive. I too had the information, but sat on it for some days, allowing my source to – correctly – do a confirmation of the story before I published it. Pitpass will tell you that pretty much all their stories are exclusive and breaking, but in reality it´s really not that difficult to have a guy eat lunch with another guy to get the information they need.
I guess what I am saying here, is not so much an attack on Pitpass, though I could not care less if they see it this way, it´s my way of saying: Read the articles with a grain of salt. I never claimed that I alone know the truth about the subjects that matter, they do. And they do a lot of work to tell you, the reader, that they are right and veryone else is wrong. Read their articles carefully, and also look at what they actually are saying. I am not out to attack Pitpass, but be wary of the information you get. In most cases, you can get the story somewhere else.
Look at the articles here and decide for yourself. I am not saying I am better than anyone else, far from it, I am saying don´t believe everything you read, just because it has a nice label on it. I respect the work of Joe Saward and James Allen, you should visit them regularly, and there are a few very good technical websites too, such as ScarbsF1.
So in conclusion: Thank you for the support over the years, thank you reading and commenting, and thank you for letting me be one of the places you went to get information about F1. I am truly grateful of everyone´s support, I couldn´t have imagined the blog would take off the way it did. And you made it happen.
Thank you for reading
Jakob Schmidt

The product is as advertised [...]
By The Big Guy
from Peculiar, MO
I have used this storage unit to store a medium collection of Cassette tapes, CDs, DVDs (Movies, movies copied from VCR tapes, Home Movies. The amount I have placed in there is phenomenal and I still have 20% free. It looks great next to my Oak entertainment center in the living room. I haven't put any VCR tapes in there as they would fill this cabinet all by themselves. That's why I copied them off to DVDs. It comes basically fully assembled, just the adjustable shelves to install and is really well made. The only problems with this product is that they send you the max # shelves and hardware, but you really can't use them all if you use their pre-drilled holes. I am planning to drill 4 more holes when I get 100% full so I can have another shelf on one of the doors. It's really not a problem, just a slight inconvenience. [...] with volume it holds, it's a nice piece of furniture, it is a welcome addition to the home [...]

We bought two of these to store our CD's and DVD's out of sight in our media room. I wanted real wood and not some cheesy laminate. These have worked out great, I only wish I had room for one more.

About Me Musically Inclined, Practical
I love this cabinet! Love that it came already assembled except for the shelving. Love the color and the SOLID wood. It is easy to move around.I did find it a bit of a challenge putting the shelf screws in place. Some holes were really snug and I had to open them up. Other holes were too loose and the screws slid out of them. That's really my only complaint.Great craftsmanship overall.Thank you!

I had such a great experience. People there is too nice and friendly. They took a really good care of me. i felt comfortable the doctor even give a big discount. In overall they have such a great service. I highly recommend it.
They were good at what they did. I was pleased.
prompt efficient care. very professional
My experience at this place is limited to two visits only. First, I had a free consultation, which was very detailed and completely satisfactory, with estimates how much my treatment could cost based on my insurance policy. Second visit was a small treatment which was performed professionally and promptly in a nice atmosphere. I was completely satisfied with the services. rendered.
I was pleased with the work done on my teeth.
excellent job
Very accommodating. United Dental employee came in on a closed day to repair a temporary filling. In my three years of being a patient of United Dental everything has been super.
I was very afraid a deep cleaning below the gums would hurt, but they offered me a strong shot and I felt no pain. This made me happy.
Had difficulty getting the crown and then the temp loose. My time in the chair was over rough and over long.
I am so happy to have found a great dentist and staff after relocating to RWC. I am a somewhat fearful patient and although I do not enjoy the experience of any dental work, everyone is kind and compassionate. The facility is immaculate, decor soothing and the care is professional, yet warm and compassionate.
excellent job thank you
my appt was at 5:00 and I was out of there before 6:00! it was great! I recieved some great advice about flossing and how to eliminate stains from food and drinks.

One deeper problem is believed to be CEO Steve Jobs, who -- while responsible for much of Apple's success -- is claimed to have a considerable ego, only inflated by analysts and the media. The executive's insistence on his own vision could backfire, as few people at the company may oppose him. Should he not make a serious mistake there is also the question of his health, since death or early retirement could leave his company without the same focus.

It's easier than you think to phone bank for the freedom to marry!
on Oct 30, 2012 at 02:00 pmSome people are intimidated by the concept of phone banking because they think they're not good on the phone or don't feel comfortable making calls about marriage.

On the Ground Running: My Volunteer Vacation in WA
on Oct 11, 2012 at 11:15 amWorking to win marriage every day from Freedom to Marry's New York City office has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, but there's nothing like being on the front lines of a state campaign.

Anniversary of 1st NY marriages bittersweet for binational couple Gemma and Jessica
on Jul 25, 2012 at 03:00 pmJessica and Gemma's happiness has been interrupted by the Defense of Marriage Act, which prevents legally married same-sex couples from obtaining permanent U.S. residency for a spouse from another country. Because Gemma is from the United Kingdom, the harms of DOMA immediately hit the couple hard. "Every day we were together felt like it was interrupted by a ticking time bomb. Every day, there was that fear of losing each other. It took a huge emotional toll on us and made everything ten times harder," Jessica said.

You may have heard that BCP has a new website forthcoming. We're in the process of moving your photos to a new server and a new software entirely, so we can't have new photos being added during this process, or they'll be left behind.
Any photos that have been embedded in forum posts will remain accessible, you just can't using the gallery pages or upload new photos. Thanks for your patience, it will be worth the wait. In the meantime, I suggest using a free photo gallery like imgur.com to host your photos. Embedding them in the forum works exactly the same way.

text: I absolutely love this coat. I've had iot over a year now and it gets a ton of wear but still looks like new. I am a teacher and bought the coat to wear for outdoor dismissal duty. It keeps me dry and looks feminine and professional. Also looks cute for casual as well. I am curvy and some coats can make me look like I'm wearing a potato sack, but this one defines my waist so I still have a shape. I will definitely buy another.

Test post
Test post
I attended the Milken Global Summit this week where I was dizzied and dazzled by evidence that "life as we know it" is changing more rapidly than we collectively realize. A panel on precision medicine illuminated that as the ability to screen genomes becomes routine, current medical diagnostics will become obsolete. Elon Musk talked nonchalantly about terraforming Mars, a concept I first encountered in a sci-fi novel by Kim Stanley Robinson. Drones were discussed as a new delivery system that could replace Big Brown, and satellites with absurd new powers will redefine the quaint communication systems in place today. All around me were casual conversations about the coming disruptions of online education, alternative energy, electric cars, and the seeming insignificance of our actual brains compared to the new wave of smarter, cooler, and ubiquitous computers.
When any system is disrupted, overturned, or revolutionized, there are always winners and losers. Nick Dunne, the husband under suspicion in the runaway best seller Gone Girl described how disruption works in this way:
"We had no clue that we were embarking on careers that would vanish within a decade. I had a job for eleven years and then I didn't, it was that fast. All around the country magazines began shuttering, succumbing to the sudden infection brought on by the busted economy. Writers (my kind of writers: aspiring novelists, ruminative thinkers, people whose brains don't work quite quick enough to blog or link or tweet) were through. We were like women's hat makers or buggy whip manufacturers: Our time was done."
Anyone 35 and older must intuit this "brave new frontier" we are entering. And no parent attending the Milken Conference could help but leave with a renewed mission to go home and introduce their children to the final frontier (space) or the undiscovered frontier (the ocean). Others were thinking about how to break it to their children, intent on becoming doctors, that studying genomes would be safer than med school as we've known it. And parents whose fortunes are invested in funds that will be undermined by the "next new thing" surely left with a new zeal to mentor their kids to be disruptors before they are disrupted.
The world is a wild and unforgiving place when it comes to the speed of change. and I'm aware that in choosing to be a disrupter I am practically a chemical catalyst for life at the speed of light. Though I am part of the "slow food" movement and have built a "slow money" company, I seem unable to stanch the speed of anything.
So to help kids slide into the stream of change at warp speed, we offer Camp Start-Up, a summer program for teenagers growing up in the Age of Disruption.
No matter how privileged, smart, well connected today's 10 year old, 16 year old or 25 year old is, the world they are inheriting requires a new kind of preparation. Anyone who knows me at all knows this is one of Independent Means programs I am most proud and fond of. This year we have moved the program to Santa Clara University, in the heart of Silicon Valley, to expose kids directly to the forces—and the opportunities—coming at them.
Teens who attend Camp Start-Up this year will spend time with a Google brainiac who will give them a tour of the campus and challenge them to consider what it would be like to work in a true meritocracy. Kiva Fellows will share stories of making a difference in far flung corners of the world, and all the teens will get a chance to go behind the scenes at Tesla, getting a glimpse of a car company that may be to cars what the Model T was to the horse.
At Camp Start-Up this year we will emphasize how to spot weak signals from the future (so teens can be proactive, not reactive, in their life dreams). They will practice the ability to spot and leverage opportunity and will go home with their first business plan done and presented—a skill much of the planet is still trying to master. And perhaps because I am also a bit wary of the unintended consequences that come with speed of light change, we've increased the time we will spend on conversation and case studies that explore ethics, stakeholder management, and social responsibility. All this will be imbedded in 12 days of fun, creativity, and adventure. We know teenagers, and unless we serve a serious program with serious fun, we'll lose them. But this is our 19th year of operation and in all that time we've lost less than 1% to homesickness or lack of interest.
I feel good about our ability to prepare kids for the Age of Disruption—if not their actual arrival.
I've been on planes a lot lately, so I've been consuming books in a voracious way. In between flights I pepper talks with,
"and another book you MUST read is…"
I've done this so often lately that I decided to list a few here so I could more efficiently share my new discoveries. You will surmise correctly from this list that I am an eclectic reader. This will either make you think of me as a person with a wide range of interests or an eccentric who scans the world like an owl for a diversified meal of small prey after dark. Either way, this is not a boring list!
Among my new reads, must reads, is Resilience by Andrew Zolli. Andrew is the Exec Director of PopTech and a brainiac by any measure. This book is one of those "a ha" reads that illuminates the world while it puts words and pictures on your deepest intuitive knowledge. Resilience is wonderfully upbeat, and hopeful—it explains why in the midst of head-spinning change we are adapting, can adapt, will adapt, and maybe even get better. If you have not yet organized a family book club, this is the book that you might choose to launch one. A great read for anyone 15+, this is a book that will speak to each generation in a relevant and useful way. Download it before you get on that next flight.
Accidentally I read two books that, in the light of the Boston Marathon bombings, put a new light on war, random victims, and the implications for how cultures and communities are affected by the surreal dimensions of man's inhumanity to man. The first of my accidental reads was a novel called The Book of Jonas by Stephen Dau. Jonas got up in the middle of the night to empty his kidneys in a privy well away from his main house, escaping as in a strange dream the horror of bombs obliterating his family, his home, his village. A young boy, he runs instinctively into the mountains and hides in a cave, only to meet up with one of the soldiers responsible for the bombing. Their encounter and their impact on one another and on the lives of people who cared for them is a reminder that war is the great unraveler—its impact trickles and pours from one person and place to another…guns, bombs, and drones, no matter how well "controlled" are indiscriminate in the damage they do. This book pushed my pragmatic self to the edge of a radical pacificism. Like the second accidental book, Escape from Camp 14 by Blaine Harden, I want to buy cases of these books and mail them to Congress (do we think those guys actually ever read anything that isn't delivered as a poll or a review on their own behavior?).
Escape from Camp 14 was apparently first brought to the attention of the American public by 60 Minutes (I missed that episode). But the book surely brought North Korea to my consciousness in a whole new way. The book chronicles the existence of prison camps in North Korea that make Stalin's Gulag look like summer camp—and it does this by following young Shin Dong-hyuk, as he escapes, impossibly, from Camp 14 and makes his way to China, South Korea, and eventually the US. I am embarrassed I was not more aware of the barbarity of North Korea—and it's impact on our humanity.
I also finished Gillian Glynn's Gone Girl. Fair warning: you will stay up all night to finish it. And Ellen Foster, by Kaye Gibbons, is the amazingly vivid and moving story of an 11 year old whose name is not really Ellen Foster—and therein lies the tale.
Finally, lately I have gotten a number of requests for my favorite science fiction books (anyone who has heard me speak lately knows I am finally fessing up to the genre as one way I have kept my eye on weak signals from the future). At the head of the list is Kim Stanley Robinson (The Mars Trilogy: Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars) whose stories contain remarkable scientific details. (May have something to do with his scientist wife, but in any event, he's a brilliant writer). And now that the Mars Rover, Richard Branson, and Elon Musk are bringing Mars to our doorstep, his scenarios of terreforming Mars seem completely plausible.
I'm also a Neal Stephenson fan because he was the one who, for me, changed science fiction from 'a distant planet, a thousand years in the future' to "here" in the not so distant future. Cryptonomicon was the first book of his I read–it is a page turner and enormous fun. I went from there to Diamond Age and then Snow Crash. Both are dark but provocative. He has launched a new project I'm following with interest: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Hieroglyph
Of course Isaac Asimov and Ray Bradbury are the old classics—Asimov nailed the idea of singularity, which has entranced Ray Kurzweil all these years, and Bradbury was a much more philosophical thinker than most people understood. Shortly after Bradbury died, I shared a paper he wrote for USC's management magazine in the late 80s, It's a doozy and if you can't find it, let me know. And Philip Dick has been so well discovered by Hollywood you hardly have to read him any longer, but I do like Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?.
Frank Herbert, who wrote the Dune series, got me paying attention to water issues long before I moved to California. And Mary Doria Russell's book, The Sparrow is a very moving, very unusual take on science fiction. One of my favorite books, period. Wow, I could go on but this is already TMI. But check out our GoodReads website for titles we think are relevant to financial education in the broadest sense!
By Whitney Webb
On January 19th, 2012, I was climbing a mountain in northern Rwanda, after taking a 3-hour bus ride plus spending an hour on the back of a motorcycle. I was covered in dirt, smiling, and on my way to meet Theogene, a borrower of a loan provided by Vision Finance Company and Kiva. My job was to interview him and verify an $800 loan that allowed him to buy and raise goats.
Exactly one year later, in January 2013, I found myself flying first class on Emirates Airline to meet with a group of wealthy families in Dubai. I was sipping champagne, still smiling, but contemplating how I had gotten to this moment. My assignment was to run a session on financial fluency and raising financially responsible families.
What led me from working with the poorest of the poor to the wealthiest people in the world? On a basic level, the common thread was finance. But during the heartbreaking decision to leave Rwanda and Kiva in order to work in Santa Barbara with Independent Means and Camp Start-Up, I have realized the end goals of these organizations are, in fact, the same. Regardless of where we fall on the economic spectrum, we are all trying to utilize our resources, opportunities, and hopes in the best ways possible—to make a better world for ourselves and others.
When it comes to capital, the lesson I learn over and over is that it's not just about the money. Yes, some form of capital is needed to propel us forward, but that can be in the form of human, social, intellectual, or financial capital. This idea is at the core of the microfinance model. No collateral? Tap into your social capital and band together with your friends and neighbors to qualify for a group loan.
But it is also at the heart of managing abundance. Have a few hundred million dollars at your disposal? Tap your intellectual and human capital to make sure you use it wisely and make real impact. Leverage your education to handle the extreme responsibilities and expectations of wealth; count on family and friends and be deeply conscious of your values as you make choices and decisions that will affect the stewardship of your resources—and your potential to actually change the world.
I can't reasonably say that the clients I work with in Dubai or Santa Barbara face challenges equal to those in Rwanda. The issue of feeding your family is more imminent and the consequences more dire than the issue of managing your funds well for the next generation. However, the strategies we use to tackle our issues, and the dreams we have for ourselves and our children, are eerily similar across the globe. In the end, I believe we are bound together by the shared qualities of compassion for one another, a willingness to leverage resources for a successful life, and a sustaining hope for the future.
It turned out that the values that got me to Rwanda (a desire to make a difference and impact the world) have helped me link two worlds that are usually held as mutually exclusive: the world of scarcity and the world of abundance. IMI's culture and commitment to helping young people find purpose and meaning in the process of becoming financially independent make Camp Start-Up/Silicon Valley a great environment for inspiring and educating the next generation. Our mission is to teach teens how to manage, invest, and leverage their money and resources. But, the teens we work with want more than that. This partnership with Kiva brings to light the importance of global citizenship, socially responsible start-ups, and the many faces of an entrepreneur. I believe that this integration of financial intelligence and passionate commitment makes this years camp a place where the teens, staff, and volunteer mentors can be inspired, and excited about the possibilities of the future.
Every day I realize a new overlap between the missions of Independent Means and Kiva, and it gives me hope that the lines between non-profit and for-profit will blur as intention and purpose starts to play a bigger role in the way we run our companies and our lives. I hope this partnership between the two organizations is the beginning of many future collaborations as we do our part in making the world better, no matter how far apart our strategy and approach.
The Buttercup snared me. I know better. The information I pick up each year at our Fashion & Finance weekend has given me an insider's eye on just how the fashion industry targets our most vulnerable spots. So what was I thinking when I spent $190 on a bright yellow hairdryer called the Buttercup?
The Buttercup is the brilliantly branded tool used in the quickly proliferating "drybar," a concept created around the idea of paying $35 for a blowout only—no cuts, no color. Drybar is the fancy equivalent of a McDonald's for hair. Alli Webb is the founder, and she has been so successful with this concept—and now with her $190 Buttercup hairdryer—she must be well on her way to becoming as ubiquitous as MacDonald's. This is one of the reasons why she is on my list of people to ensnare in this year's Fashion & Finance.
If you have ever been or have ever wanted to attend a Fashion & Finance weekend, this may be the right year for you. As always, we combine visits to impossible destinations with case studies that shed a light on business and finance, answering questions in relatable and understandable language, not jargon or "moneyspeak."
In the fall of 2011, I wrote a blog describing the phenomenon of really smart people who close down in the face of financial reports, news, and conversations. I suggested at that time that people who self-identify as "creative" literally DO shut down when confronted by what seems, on the surface, to be a linear, valueless, and rigid world of finance. Perhaps, I said, it's time to create a new way of talking about money with creatives.
That blog triggered quite a response from readers and prompted us to create a new program called Learning Labs for Financial Creatives. The program begins April 21-23 and if you're a financial creative, or know one, click here for more information and give us a call, 805-965-0475.
You won't sit at a conference table and you will not endure the torture of mind-numbing PowerPoint presentations. You will connect with a small group of peers, who are intent on developing a voice and a set of skills that will facilitate impact at family meetings, in business discussions, and with the so-called "financial experts" in your life.
The first program is being held at the Ojai Valley Inn and SPA. I hope you, or someone you love, will join us.
This week a former counselor and camper got in touch telling us how much they enjoyed Camp Start-Up and how excited they were to be a part of it again this year. We were so appreciative of their kind words that we thought we would share them with you.
When asked where I work, my answer usually leaves people speechless and eager to hear more. Working at Camp Start-Up has got to be one of the greatest jobs out there. Camp Start-Up blends exciting activities and strong friendship bonds that many sleepaway camps offer, with an entirely unique entrepreneurial twist. When the campers weren't on field trips visiting fascinating business like Pixar and Six Flags, they were learning essential business and investment skills that would aid them in the creation of their very own business plan and stock portfolio that each camper would present at the end of camp. The ideas the campers have created in the past are nothing short of sheer brilliance. Take the shopping cart GPS, for example, that allows you to upload your grocery list into a shopping cart that leads you around the grocery store as efficiently as possible picking out every opportunity for savings in it's path. And of course there was the solar panel laptop and phone cover that continuously charges your mobile devices as they are used. Needless to say, the campers really explore their creative capacity.
The satisfaction I get from seeing the campers blossoming into young entrepreneurs and creating lifelong friendships in just two weeks is enough to keep me coming back as a counselor year after year. Camp Start-Up is no longer limited to the east coast because this year we are thrilled to announce that Camp Start Up will be held in California's Silicon Valley. I don't want to ruin the surprise but lets just say Silicon Valley has some epic field trips in store for Camp Start Up!
-Elan Kapadia (Counselor from 2006-2012)Camp-Start-Up was a life changing experience for me. Not only did I gain valuable business guidance, but I also changed as a person. Now I have a confident outlook toward the future—I have a direction and a plan. The inspirational counselors and entrepreneur volunteers made all of these feelings possible. It is amazing how much knowledge I gained in such little time.
- Elly Beyer (2012 CSU Alum)
While these experiences are remarkable, we don't believe they are unique. Camp Start-Up really is an amazing event for all who attend. If you would like more information, visit the camp section of the website, find us on Facebook, email us, or call us at 805.965.0475.
The flight home took 16 hours, nonstop. Once home, I slept for 14–not a drowsy wake and sleep, wake a sleep, but deep, prolonged slumber, a dream state that gave me access to the sights, sounds, people, and experiences that overwhelm the senses when you travel to a part of the globe where camels ride in pick-ups, buildings compete to touch the stars, and men in white are both national identity and fashion forward. For days my dreams were a tumble of indecipherable symbols and images.
Dubai is life though a kaleidoscope: space age towers and ancient water taxis; girls in revealing dress and women seen through eye slits; boys in Armani and men in elegant robes and headdress; an avant garde art scene and a scene of material consumption so staggering it renders an organic girl speechless. But my sensual, visual memories are not the most important thing I brought home–the treasure was the time spent with families we were privileged to meet. And the best gift came in the form of a simple question.
The CEO of a multi-family office in Bahrain had invited me to speak at a conference for families from UAE countries. Abdulmohsin Al Omran is a visionary. While wealth in Dubai is often measured by the height of buildings and the gold and oil in your portfolio, Abdulmosin brought us to Dubai to discuss human capital. "Families in the UAE," he told me the day before I was to present…
"…are often living beyond their means–even though their means are generous.
…worry about declining wealth as they watch the next generation consume without thought of creating wealth.
…believe it's too late to make a difference with their family."
"Ah, issues we face with families everywhere," I thought, as he described his hopes for the next day. And the next day confirmed his observations.
The men and women of the audience, parents with children as young as 2 and as old as 42; people from Bahrain, Saudi, and Kuwait seemed open and eager to talk. When I asked if the phrase "shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves" in three generations resonated in any way, one woman laughed and said, "Yes, here we speak of 'fire to ashes': the grandfather starts the fire, the next generation keeps it burning for a while, and the third let's it cool to ashes."
Only a small fraction (about 2%) of family businesses worldwide make it beyond the third generation with their assets intact. Abdulmohsin's vision is to address those issues–to help families develop their human capital with the same fervor they attend to developing their financial capital–and to help a larger percentage of families keep the fire burning–or at least give the next generation tools to kindle a new fire.
As we jumped into a practice version of IMI's Human Capital Audit, one woman said, "I had no idea this is a way to look at family!" Each of the participants seemed excited by a tool that would help them rethink the nature of wealth in family. It was, I thought, a great session and things were going well. Then one man asked, in as respectful a way as possible, "What do you know about families from this part of the world?"
His question was clean and direct. He caused me to pause, but in the moment, processing stimuli coming at me at warp speed, I gave an only adequate response.
But now, dreams and days later I know what I should have said: "Nothing. I know nothing about your families. Just as I know nothing about any family I first encounter."
Twenty plus years, hundreds of families and many countries into my work one thing is clear: every family has its own unique makeup. Like a fingerprint, each family comes together in a way that is not replicated again. Entering a family anywhere on the planet, regardless of culture, religion, politics, age or generation requires mindful attention, an open attentiveness that allows us to SEE families as they are–without prejudice or assumption. When we can achieve that clarity of vision, we have the best shot at being genuinely useful. We have to enter each family humbled by the knowledge that we know nothing of their individual values, their experiences, their human capital. We know nothing about what matters in their heart or what their individual and collective worries are. That's the information each family must teach.
And yet, there are universals that show up in family after family; country after country. Most families, if they are at all functional and have the privilege of basic well-being, financial security, and safety, at some point focus on the future of their children and of their families:
I'll have good stories from Dubai to share over dinner for a long time. But the man who asked, "what do you know about us?" made the trip really count. As long as I remember that we know NOTHING about any family on first encounter, I have a shot at hearing and seeing the most important aspects of every family, regardless of where they live or who they are. Before the week is out I'm going to write and tell him what his question helped me remember. That's a gift you can't put in a shopping bag.

How did you learn programming?
Posted 24 September 2003 - 09:47 AM
Just want to know how did you learn programming?
Here is my story ...
I learned programming from BASIC. However, I was told to choose Biology as my subject by my parents ... even though they knew I was interested in Computer. I learned Visual Basic then and after that learned C/C++ on my own. I took admission in a best institute in my city Karachi to help me in Programming. I was pretty famous in the class for cross questoning the teacher. After a few days I realized that I knew twice more as my teacher knew. Since then I am learning everything on my own.

I started making quake scripts to be a better quaker.
I wanted to displaymy awsome possum scripts to the hole world.
I inquired into geocities.com and the wonderful of html.
I discovered CGI.
I decided I wanted a guest book.
I made one, in perl - by reverse engineering other scripts I had seen and making my own script from absolute scratch.
I liked it.
I inquired into c/c++.
Almost immediatly I decided "Im gonna be a game developer!"...
I inquired into DirectX (7 at the time?).
I realized my lack of knowledge.
I reinvested my time in c/c++.
And javascript, and flash, and html, and perl.
I coded a win32 console application featuring a scrolling terrain game
using colored character codes for display.
I re-inquired into DirectX(8).
I inquired about OpenGl.
I made my first graphic game.
Skip ahead.
I know a lot of stuff in a lot of languages. :)
Unfortunatly Im more of "A jack of all trades" then a "Master of one".

I got a computer learning machine (a special product only made in China ;) ), and I play 8-bit games and learning BASIC on it.
When I entered the senior high school on the first year, I got a Celeron-300A-64MB-Savage-3D computer which I chose all the parts by myself.
Of course, playing games was the first thing (although while I told my parents that I would always use it to learn my subjects :rolleyes: . Later I had some unhappy days with my parents 'cause I cheated them. But now I wanted to say sorry very much...... I was enchanted by computers. )
I use my computer make htmls, jscript, asp, flashes & learning vb.
Now I am in university & I discovered C/C++, ASM, DirectX and much more. I found myself fall in love again now. (but now I can control myself and make good use of computers.)

let's see, I moved from the farms of bohol [phillipines] back with my mom in the US [hawaii, at the time]. cities, compared to rural settings, is SO much more technological. My mom introduced me to THE computer [a packard bell 286 with 10 MB hard drive [huge!] and 512Kb RAM]. after about a week of "playing around" with it, I happened to spill a glass of milk... IN the case. In my haste of trying to repair it, I rushed to the library to look for books on computers. took them ALL home. Opened the box to find that nothing serious has happened, just cleaned the box. I read the books anyway and found all of the books refer to BASIC. after that summer, i was a decent BASIC "programmer". I wrote drug wars in basic. I tried to emulate word perfect, beacon mavis and Harvard Graphics [to no success]. I wrote things that weren't always good and that's all I'll say about that, pending a court case :D that was all in 1993.
in my pursuit of higher learning, I came across C. I didn't have the prerequisites [at the time] to enroll in computer science in high school but I had a class right next to the CS class. so when my class got out, I rushed next door to copy whatever was on the board. I thought C was the class' grade - hence why I didn't go to the library to look up the language C. it was also hard to look at every book for pseudo or partial code. eventually, I enrolled in a CS class, taught by the same teacher i had been copying from. because of his left over notes on the board, I found myself ahead of the class. ...
before i start to ramble, that's pretty much how I came to be a programmer. what lead me to study CS in college was because I was denied enlistment into the military [air force] - because of my bad eyes and asthma. I no longer have asthma [now called reactive lung disorder since i haven't had an attack in 4+ years].
OGL vs DX
in summer of 2000, I became VERY interested in 3D graphics. so I bought 2 books - an opengl and a directx book. I read the opengl book first. to this date, i have NOT read the directx book.
to sum it up, I may have not started with a vintage machine like the 8086 or the an amiga or a tandy but the intel 286 is vintage enough for me. I still have the processor [the case and compononents long have been destroyed]. also with that computer came the first optical mouse that used light, not laser [so it was rather slow, and required a special light-sensitive mouse pad] - those, i still have too.
thanks for taking me down memory lane.

My first intro to comps was in 1998. Earlier to that nothing. Then I started off with C. Then when we got internet connectino @ college (it costs a fortune to own internet during those days) I saw some code on mc2.nu mostly exploits code. Then I decided I would learn C inside out. I guess I am still learning about C :D we never end up learning the whole of it.
What followed was PERL, C++, JAVA (YUCK) and Assembly (teeny weeny for debugging).
Now I am into Maxscript (mascript needs lots of improvement).
Learnt MEL scripts but was not happy with it.
What else have I learnt ?? hmm learnt Spanish after I read a text by some great hack writer. Sir Haxalot.
That is counting languages as in not just computer languanges :D

The came university C++ was the way there so I embarked on yet another journey. My adventures took me to many bewildering and beatiful places from the saftey of mode13 to the elusive caverns of DirectX I visited the shrine known as OpenGL and was kept hostage of the dreaded MFC. I found a trusted and enlightening companion in STL.
I've made small detours to places like PHP Pascal and JavaScript I actuallly once thought highly of DHTML even though "it's no real language", I've encountred Haskell and Prolog and they both thought me many things.
Yes that's the road I have walked, I've now realized that as the masters of zen have always said it's the journey not the goal that's important.

Posted 06 October 2003 - 12:08 PM
Anyways, now that I have come in I better get working on the game and the articles. I have started writing articles on 3DS Max Script/3DS MAx SDK :D
I am sure it would be good because I have seen hardly any stuff on the net. HARDLY. Let me finish it in a short while. Oh btw now that I have gotten some net connection to the room, I might be able to do small uploads.
