  • People and Events Behind the Fractal Images
    People and Events Behind the Fractal Images When asked to write this article I, without space limitation, have unleashed a flood of recollections about some men and some ideas involved in the art of fractals, including both art for art’s sake and art for the sake of science. A few of these recollections may even qualify as history, or perhaps only as what the French call le petite histoire. As some readers may already know, history for me is forever a part of the present. The Prehistory of some fractals-to-be: Poincaré. Fricke & Klein, and Escher To begin, while fractal geometry dates from 1975, it is in many ways important to know that a number of shapes now called fractals have been known for a much longer time. But surprisingly few had actually been drawn before the computer era. Most were self- similar or self-affine, and represent the artless work of the draftsmen on the payroll of science publishers. Also, there are renditions of physical and simulated Brownian motion in the book by Jean Perrin, Les Atomes, and William Feller’s Introduction to Probability. These renditions have helped me dream in fruitful ways (as told in my 1982 book Figure The Fractal Geometry of Nature p. 240), but they are not beautiful. Fractals-to-be-occur in the work of Fatou and Julia circa 1918, but they led to no illustrations in their time. However, Poincaré’s even earlier works circa 1890 do include many sketches, and two very different nice stories are linked with illustrations that appeared shortly afterwards, in the classic book Vorlesugen Ôber die Theorie der automorphen Functionen, Fricke & Klein 1897.

  • Case Study: Where Have All the Processors Gone?
    The Synergist: How to Lead Your Team to Predictable Success Case Study: Where Have All The Processors Gone? It’s hard to find a good, single, stand alone case study for a Processor. It’s not that they are less common than Visionaries or Operators. It’s just that by the very nature of who they are, they eschew the limelight. They prefer to work behind the scenes making sure the systems and processes are in place to allow good organizations to become great organizations. They care little about seeking public praise or adulation. You don’t often see a Processor striding up and down the stage at the annual company retreat, representing the business at a charity event or giving interviews to the local news station. Instead you’ll be more likely to find them making sure that what the company does today is repeatable, consistent and scalable tomorrow and into the future. In many ways they are the unsung hero of our three natural styles. That’s not to say there aren’t examples of them out in the wild. And it’s not to say that at times we wouldn’t want a Processor in charge. We shouldn’t conflate the cult of the Visionary or the get it done mentality of the Operator with good leadership. Yes, quite often, particularly during the early stages of a company’s growth we need a good V or O in charge. But there are occasions when we need the structured, methodical thinking of a P to put in place the systems and processes needed to stable the ship and get us sailing in the right direction again.

  • Another Giant Mining Fortune Represented in the Pilgrims Society (History’S Biggest Pandora’S Box!)
    ANOTHER GIANT MINING FORTUNE REPRESENTED IN THE PILGRIMS SOCIETY (HISTORY’S BIGGEST PANDORA’S BOX!) Presented October 2017 by Charles Savoie Refused coverage by Dave Janda, Greg Hunter, And dozens of “alt media” You Tube channels! Refused coverage by 24 Hour Gold, Silver Seek, And the rest of the “Ha-Ha” Parade! (Save this in your Downloads File; read in several sessions.) In April we reviewed details on James Ben Ali Haggin (1827- 1914, Episcopalian; Pilgrims Society member known as “the greatest mine owner on earth”) in “Silver Mining Kingpin Opposed Silver Money.” In August we reviewed the Guggenheim mining dynasty in “Vast Mining Fortune Represented in Pilgrims Society World Money Trust.” This item will be about the South Africa Oppenheimer mining fortune (diamonds, gold, platinum, uranium, titanium, zinc, copper, cobalt, coal, chemicals, manganese, rhodium, nickel, iron etc.) and there was a marriage in 1660 between the Guggenheims and Oppenheimers, back in the Old World. Not only that, but Jakob Oppenheimer ran a bank at Hanover, Germany, where the first Rothschild was an apprentice during 1757-1763! Samuel Oppenheimer (1630-1703) was military supplier to King Leopold I of Hungary, Croatia and Bohemia. The Guggenheims appear to have mostly died out and those still bearing that name being of lesser influence, the fortune shifting into Episcopalian hands (The Lawson-Johnstons, Episcopalians and Pilgrims Society members). I realize those releases were way longer than most metals investors are used to reading (539 pages together) but the background on Haggin, the Guggenheims and the Lawson-Johnstons is extensive, and in fact, I only provided a basic outline on both.
