  • JAMES FRANCO Super Squirrel
    JAMES FRANCO super squirrel by Generalissimo Bullwinkle “Palo Alto and its surrounding areas are some of the wealthiest in the country. They are the living grounds for all the dukes of Silicon Valley. Steve Jobs’ daughter and the grandson of Hewlett-Packard were both in my graduating class .. I [grew] up among the children of the world shapers.” - James Franco describing his childhood years in Palo Alto, CA (Source) At a surprisingly young age, Franco had already established himself as one of the most obnoxious people in Hollywood—and that, of course, is already saying a lot. But here, we will see that is only the tip of the iceberg. In this essay, we’ll see that Franco’s father Douglas Franco graduated from Stanford and Harvard, and worked for a top defense contractor in Silicon Valley. Through him, the Franco line goes back to Portugal’s Madeira islands, where we’ll link him with a pair of Franco brothers who were famous artists in the employ of Portuguese nobility and fascist ruler Antonio Salazar. We’ll further learn about Madeira, and its role as a strategically situated free-trade zone that helped enrich Portuguese and British merchants for hundreds of years. The Madeiran Franco brothers are then linked with the shadowy Sousa Group, a 100-year-old shipping, logistics, and energy conglomerate that is “the largest Portuguese shipowner.” The story comes full circle as it emerges Douglas Franco spent the latter years of his life working with a top military lab on a high-tech security system for cargo ships called SecureBox.

B 99, 224411 (2019)]. © 2020 AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY During my time in the APS Presidential Line, starting in 2017, I have developed a deep understanding of this dynamic and complex organization, which does far more than just fulfill its objective “to advance and diffuse the knowledge of physics”. I am very proud of the APS, its members and its staff and am proud to have served as its president. In early February 2019, we announced the APS Strategic Plan: 2019, which laid out strategic priorities for addressing our challenges and opportunities. During this process I have tried to inspire us to look to the future and to encourage a spirit of experimentation. Some of the specific actions I promoted have gotten underway this year. Highlights include: APS Innovation Fund: This is a strategic investment in new, emerging ideas, from both members and staff, which align with APS priorities. The first grants were awarded in August to four projects that develop new approaches to advancing the interests of the physics community.

The tree of knowledge symbolizes this profound understanding of the world. A living thing, the tree is always growing. Its leaves reach higher into the sky, searching and exploring; its branches of thoughts and deeds spring from exploration and reflection; in its trunk are the values, ideals, and principles that give our world shape and structure, while its roots go deep into the earth for insight, creativity, and understanding. Each generation is responsible for growing and shaping the tree of knowledge. Taube Philanthropies embraces and celebrates this responsibility, cherished by Jews for thousands of years and filled with promise for the future. Our Mission Dedicated to the principles of a democratic society, including open economic enterprise, self-reliance, freedom of inquiry, and limited government, Taube Philanthropies works to ensure that free citizens will have full opportunity for advancement of their goals and dreams. Taube Philanthropies supports programs in the San Francisco Bay Area, Poland, and Israel. Areas of concentration include education and scholarship, Jewish cultural renewal and heritage preservation, institution and community building, and public policy initiatives oriented to preserve American principles.

    Annual Report of Philanthropy 2013 Together, we made a bold decision to move a beloved museum to the water’s edge. Our new home is nothing less than spectacular, and you—your faith in the Exploratorium and its mission—made it possible. Table of Contents Introduction Letter from the Executive Director Letter from the Chairman of the Board Campaign Donors Education & Learning Science & Living Systems Art & Creativity Global Reach & Partnerships Exploratorium Donors Opening Gala Donors Exploratorium Endowments & Oppenheimer Circle Corporate, Foundation, & Government Grants The Exploratorium Lab Exploratorium Leadership Tribute Gifts Dishtinguished Collaborators since 1969 Strategic Partnerships & Alliances since 1969 Financials Letter from the Director our role in global outreach, making new investments in education and learning through our Bowes Education Center, and creating new opportunities to explore the landscape and environment in our Fisher Bay Observatory Gallery and Terrace. On the face of it, these may seem like very different initiatives, but for the Exploratorium, art, science, education, and outreach are all of a piece. The arts, for example, have always been central to the Exploratorium experience. Our founder, Frank Oppenheimer, saw art and science as two sides of a coin—two creative ways of looking at the world. From the museum’s earliest days, artists, educators, scientists, tinkerers, technicians, and others have worked side by side, learning from one another’s skills and points of view. Our community’s long held belief in these innovative juxtapositions, and our commitment to them today, has given the Exploratorium some of its most successful, and most elegant, exhibits—from Bob Miller’s iconic Sun Painting (1975), which mesmerized visitors at To Our Donors and Friends, the early museum (and still does), to Fujiko Nakaya’s Fog First, please let me say thank you.

  • Youtube Is the Ultimate Destination for Kids on the Internet. How Susan Wojcicki Plans to Keep Them Hooked by Belinda Luscombe
    YOU TUBE’S VIEW MASTER YouTube is the ultimate destination for kids on the Internet. How Susan Wojcicki plans to keep them hooked By Belinda Luscombe The CeO Of YOuTube cannot stand up. She keeps falling to the mat like a cat off a ceiling fan. Or a guy cannonballing into what turns out to be solid ice. Her helmet is awry. Her trousers have slipped to plumber level. A bunch of YouTube employees are watching their boss, Susan Wojcicki, 47, take on the “Melt- down,” which is like a large blow-up kiddie pool with a big foam propeller rotating in the middle that people are supposed to duck or leap over. Wojcicki has mastered the duck but takes a pummeling when she tries the leap. The Meltdown, along with a bouncy castle, a slushy machine, some jumbo-size board games, oceans of red candy and a DJ, has been installed in the back of YouTube’s blocky California offices so the company can celebrate 10 years of helping people make a spectacle of themselves, which Wojcicki would be doing right now, except nobody cares. This is a bit of a nerd crowd; if she were to fail on the giant chess set installed in the office foyer, now that would be embarrassing.
