Ben Franklin, the great American scientist, inventor,
and statesman once wrote:
"An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest"
I'd like to suggest a slight variation on that.
As I see it, an investment in interest
always pays off with the best knowledge.
Here in our Lifelong Kindergarten group,
we've seen over and over
the importance and the value
of people following their interests
and building on their passions.
When people work on projects they really care about
they are willing to work longer and harder
and persist in the face of challenges and obstacles.
It's not just that,
when people are following their interests, they're more
likely to make deep connections with new ideas
and to develop new ways of thinking.
Let me give you an example.
A few years ago, I was visiting one of our
Computer Clubhouse after school centers,
and I met a 13 year old boy named Leo
who loved playing video games.
At the Clubhouse, he learned how to use our Scratch
Programming Language to create his own games.
And, he proudly showed me a game he had created,
somewhat like this one where a big fish eats a little fish.
But the day I visited, Leo was also a little bit frustrated
because he knew the people would be interested in seeing the
score of the game and he couldn't figure out
how to show the score, he tried a few things and couldn't
figure it out.
So I showed a new feature of Scratch to Leo
a feature called variables.
And together, Leo and I created a new Scratch variable
called score in his game.
And by creating that variable,
it automatically set up a little box on the screen,
that showed the value of the score
and also created some new programming blocks.
Leo saw the new block change score by one,
and he knew exactly what to do.
He put it in his project where the big fish ate the
little fish,
then every time that happened, the score went up by one.
Leo was really excited and he reached out his hand to me,
and he said, thank you, thank you, thank you.
I was really happy that Leo was so pleased with his project
and what he had learned,
and then I started thinking, I wonder how many algebra
teachers are ever thanked by their students
for teaching them about variables.
Of course, that doesn't happen
because the way algebra is taught in schools,
doesn't really connect with kids interests.
But, the situation was different with Leo,
he really cared about variables,
because he cared about his game.
We see stories like this over and over in the Scratch community.
I remember a nine year old girl names Sarah
who created an animated book report
about Charlotte's Web.
A book they had read in her third grade class.
She went to make the animals go forward and back.
And, to do that she needed to learn about the math idea
of scaling and the art idea of perspective.
Now Sarah had to work long and hard on this,
Which she was willing to work hard,
because she really cared about making a better
animated story.
My mentor Seymour Papert used the term Hard Fun
to describe this type of learning.
A lot of teachers try to make lessons easy thinking
that kids want things to be easy.
But that's not the case.
Kids are willing to work hard, eager to work hard,
as long as they work on things that they really care about.
So how is it that educators can engage kids in hard fun?
We sometimes use the metaphor of low floor,
high ceiling
and wide walls.
It's important to create activities with a low floor,
make it easy for kids to get started.
And also a high ceiling, so they can work on more and more
complex and sophisticated projects over time.
But, a low floor and a high ceiling aren't enough.
We need to add another dimension.
Wide walls.
It's important to develop technologies and activities
that provide children with an opportunity to create a wide
range of different types of projects.
It's not good enough to have
a single pathway from the low floor
to the high ceiling.
We need multiple pathways,
wide walls.
We know that different children have different interests.
So if you want all children to be able to work on projects
they really care about,
we need those multiple pathways,
many different ways for kids to engage with their projects.
As we develop the Scratch language and community.
We really took wide walls into account.
We didn't make Scratch only for creating games, because
some kids like games, not all kids like games.
Scratch can also be used to make art, and music, and
animations, and stories, and simulations.
If you look on the Scratch website,
you see an incredible wide diversity of different
types of projects.
For us, that's the best indicator of success.
When we develop new technologies or workshops,
we're always looking to see the range of different
projects that result.
If all the projects end up looking alike,
we feel that something went wrong.
The walls weren't wide enough.
If we see a great diversity of projects
to us that's a sign of success.
Now if you teach kids or run workshops for kids
or develop materials for kids,
I hope you'll think about wide walls.
How can you widen the walls to make sure that all kids
have a chance to work on projects they really
care about?
Remember, an investment of interest will always pay off
with greater motivation and greater knowledge.

This Week on Windows: Minecraft and Remix 3D, Microsoft Edge Extensions - Duration: 3:22.
>> Hello and welcome to This Week on Windows.
>> Now, for many of us,
securing our online identity is a priority,
but managing the many passwords,
for instance, can be daunting.
>> That's why we're starting off
this week's headlines with
two new Microsoft Edge extensions,
designed to protect your digital life.
First things first,
an extension can be added to an internet browser
to enhance functionality to the browser.
>> To put it another way,
extensions are add-ons that let you
do more online, and they are simple to set up.
>> First,
open Microsoft Edge and head over to
the settings and more tab,
the three little dots, and click extensions.
>> Once you add an extension, it will appear here.
You can also click the get extensions from the store link.
>> Now, this week,
we're all about managing passwords.
Two new extensions are now available from
Microsoft Edge which let you generate, sync,
and autofill passwords and other information
across all your devices and websites.
>> Starting with 1Password.
A password manager that not only keeps your data safe,
but also helps you generate
strong unique passwords for all your online accounts.
>> But that's not all.
You can also use 1Password to
securely store your credit cards,
passports, and other important documents.
>> Then there's Dashlane,
a password manager bringing
their biggest update yet to Microsoft Edge.
Dashlane's feature-rich extension integrates right into
your browsing experience including the
best in class autofill powered by Dash IQ,
that makes filling in passwords for
your favorite sites a breeze.
Plus, easily find the right password
at the right time from your favorite sites,
with more than 250,000
updated app and website logos
to make things even more simple to find.
>> Did you know that you can now export
your favorite creations from
Minecraft directly into remix3d.com?
>> The new Minecraft Better Together update
is designed to unify the console,
mobile, and Windows 10 PC.
And for Windows 10 PC,
that means integration with,
among other things Paint 3D and Remix 3D.
So creating your very own Minecraft 3D content
in Windows is easy.
>> Start by opening a new creative world
or an existing creative world.
Fill the object you'd like to export from Minecraft.
Then, give your in-game player a structure block.
Give your in-game player a structure block by pressing
the whack or slash button and typing the below command.
>> Now, place the structure block
on the ground near the object you would like to export
by holding the structure block in your character's hand,
and right-clicking on the ground near your structure.
>> Right-click on the structure block and
fill in the bounding coordinate for your structure.
>> You'll need to fill in the X, Y,
and Z coordinates for both the size and offset,
then enter a name for your creation and select 3D export.
Simply save and tag your 3D model
to filter content on Remix 3D.
Now for more tips, check out the Windows blog.
>> Well, that's it for our show,
This Week. I'm Mollie.
>> And I'm Kate. And thanks
for watching, This Week on Windows.

S-5! founder Rob Haddock at Solar Power International 2017 - Duration: 5:29.
<Amy> Hi this is Amy from the altE Store and we are here at SPI in Las Vegas.
And I am here with Rob Haddock, and he is the founder of S-5!
And they've got terrific mounting solutions for metal roofs.
Hi there.
<Rob> How are you Amy?
<Amy> Fabulous.
Can you tell me a little bit about your company?
<Rob>Sure.
S-5! was started in 1992 with the first patent filed as a solution to attach anything and
almost everything to standing seam roofing.
And my background has been for 35 years now within the metal roofing industry and community.
I'm a student of metal roofing.
One of the things that makes us different from some of our competitors in this market
space is that we actually came from the metal roofing end, and the solar folks found us,
because obviously solar is mounted on roofs and we had attachment solutions to
mount things to roofs
<Amy> Right, like satellite dishes...
<Rob> Satellite dishes, service walkways, HVAC equipment, one of our core markets is
also snow retention to prevent rooftop avalanches.
And so that's where we started.
I invented a technology in 1992 to be able to attach very securely and very permanently
to standing seam metal roofs without violating the warranties of those roofs, without penetration
of of those roofs, and so on.
And over time, our product line has expanded to attach to, still to metal roofs, but through
fasten metal roofs as well as standing seam.
And we've provided attachments from everything from fall protection to HVAC to service walkways,
and of course solar.
<Amy> Right.
And you can see here there's as many solutions as there are metal roofs.
<Rob> Exactly the truth.
Over time, you know there are many different standing seam roof profiles, so one component
doesn't fit all. And as our company expanded,
and we sell globally now, the profiling in Australia is different
than it is in Germany, than it is in the US.
And there are a variety of profiles throughout the world, so as we expand our business we
develop solutions for all those profiles, all types of metal roofs.
And we now manufacture about 137 SKUs that are used on all different types of roofs,
for all different types of applications.
Our name has almost become synonymous with metal roofing in our own American market,
as well as a few others around the world.
<Amy> Right.
So, this is a nice example of something that would just grab on to the standing seam, and
not do a roof penetration.
And then we've got lots of other options.
<Rob> Yes, as time went on, we made interface hardware for different kinds
of applications.
So one of our core markets is snow retention, so we developed some rather unique and innovative
snow retention alternatives.
The same thing is true with the solar space.
We have a basic clamp that is milled and drilled with threaded holes to be able to hold things, but there's
a piece of interface hardware sometimes necessary to get a module to adapt to that, so we develop
our PV-Kit and some other little nuances to make it easy for different applications to interface.
<Amy> And so if a customer has an interesting application that they are not quite sure what to do with it,
we at altE can work with you guys and make sure that we get the right solution for them.
<Rob> Correct.
And if we don't have the right solution, we will innovate the right solution.
We've been awarded over 50 patents in our 25 year history.
So we keep innovating, we keep improving products.
Early this coming year, we'll come out with the next generation PV-Kit.
But we've introduced the RibBracket, that's new this year.
And the SolarFoot we're unveiling it at this show for the first time.
So we continue to innovate.
We've manufactured everything at our own ISO certified factory in north Texas, so everything
that we do is US made, and quality stuff.
And we test everything up the wazzoo.
We spend a fortune in testing our products with the holding capacity.
We publish all that information online.
We make it easy to engineer a system.
<Amy> Well wonderful.
Thank you so much for taking the time, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the show.
<Rob> Thank you Amy. It was a pleasure having you.
Go sit by the fire.

Yeeeeees !!! It is the car of the film National Lampoon´s
Vacation a session Classic later also a Chase Greenlight
You will be a Chase huh guys? You know what a Chase? I guess I know but let's talk better
about it then crowd filled tire bored and lets get down to
The galley carts
Griswolds Wagon Queen Family Truckster is based on 1979 LTD County Square Station Wagon
and it was customized by anyone Unless the legendary George Barris yes
it even if you do not know he created the Batmobile also it was that way
series 1966 of the thumbnails here most cherished by our
collectors recently ... The film National Lampoon's Vacation
1983 and tells the story of a family American coming out of the car on vacation
East Coast to the West Coast to go a theme park
ahhh ... but the story does not end there ... in the way they meet a cousin and
Also not less popular and aunt Edna ended up taking her to Phoenix only
It happens so much in this one guys that when they arrived at many park

Excellent is a good thing in a afternoon session a great comedy and
then you will understand a little what is this car that we are
showing here ... Furthermore let's talk a little bit
about what Chase is a miniature and you may have no idea that is
Chase so let's enjoy talking a little about it
Chase are limited versions that factories distributed between cars
Regular is the neat trick normally
manufacturers do what it is ... there is in these miniatures is ... the most common
collectible miniatures and so it encourages hoarding because
these miniatures are harder to be found
Chase Greenlight he is called as Greenmachine and can be chassis and green wheel;
green body and green tires or green parts such miniature
are you seeing. When buying the guys around the thumbnails
Greenlight be smart and suddenly you might be experiencing one Chase nor
realized ... So come on guys let's the third with respect to this miniature
so she has metal chassis, tires rubber and here are the hubcaps, you see
In the black color you can then view ... Headlights
front see only they are acrylic, as
you can watch and is part of back're seeing
They have painted headlights there we also have a detail of
Car plates're seeing O ... The sign is written Vacation right to the name of
movie maybe you can not see well right ... we also leverages and
see more details here as the bumper the car for example and back
purposely also the board is Pie right ... it's not loaded decal
not wrong ... The board is the same port
Another detail galley door
bags are already on top of the car on the roof see only
these bags are all in green because here it is a miniature
Greenmachine, but these bags here they are colored
It is a pull .... ... is a business that is really cool guys
made very realistic're seeing are ... several different formats right ... got well
cool the interior trim only see interior trim guys see banks
They are brown in color and details in color cream a beige anyway ... right one nude!
if you are a little cooler then you can talk that way you are
more detail to this kind of thing and then we have the steering wheel guys that
We have and it means straight but actually it has four beams are then so
Detailed good steering wheel is not pizza as the Hot Wheels but not
we can detect details internal which is rare thumbnails Greenlight
because they are really see detail that brings the handle
then there door but could not there and find mirrors
rear view so it's only a small detail that
He has beaten right I not have a rearview something that does not
it is very common good now let's talk about the side
side ta ... seeing has brown color details in beige
It may not be possible view but these details are already
They are there because there are those plates wood are placed on the side of
car can see that the hood we have this detail that I just
speaking as though it is a miniature chase, one they Greenmachine
They put these side in green also so if you find
Miniature that here with these features it is a Chase're
Normal it is that characteristic of wood
another detail also very interesting that lateral galley
see this crown here that O is the Ford Crown then also there a little treat
they put to identify the model the car since we're talking

Are These Are the Richest People Who've Ever Lived? - Duration: 11:17.
Assessing who the richest person to ever live was is a rather difficult task.
In some cases, the exact amount of wealth the person accumulated is unknown.
Secondly, it's hard to determine the proper exchange rate or the rate of inflation since
the person died, or was at the peak of his wealth.
Instead, most of these figures are based on the percentage of their nation's Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) that the individual personally owned.
Also, for some perspective, the richest person alive today is Bill Gates.
At the time of this article, he is worth $89.8 billion.

Cornelius Vanderbilt – $185 billion
Born in Staten Island in May 1794, Cornelius Vanderbilt dropped out of school at the age
of 11 to help support his impoverished family.
As a child, he worked with his father, who was a farmer and a boatman.
When Vanderbilt was 16, using a small loan from his parents, he bought a two-mast sailing
vessel and started ferrying passengers on the Hudson River.
During the War of 1812, using a small fleet of boats, Vanderbilt delivered supplies to
government outposts.
He eventually sold all his boats and went to work with a steamship captain, where he
learned about steamships.
He then started his own steamship business and eventually started buying up railroads.
Vanderbilt was a ruthless businessman and a shrewd marketer who focused on undercutting
his competitors.
His business tactics made him one of the richest men to ever live.
At his peak, he had somewhere around $185 billion.

Henry Ford – $200 billion
Henry Ford, the man who would go on to revolutionize the automobile industry and mass production,
was born in July 1863 to a prosperous family that owned a farm in Dearborn, Michigan.
When he was 16, he moved to nearby Detroit and took an apprenticeship as a machinist.
He then worked at several factories and on his family's farm before ending up at Edison
Illuminating Company.
Within two years, he was made chief engineer.
In 1896, Ford created the Quadricycle, which was a horseless carriage.
In 1899, he started the Henry Ford Detroit Automobile Company, which was later changed
to the Henry Ford Company.
However, he ended up leaving the business in 1902 after his partners became frustrated
by his desire to constantly improve on his design.
They, on the other hand, just wanted a finished product.
The Henry Ford Company then became the Cadillac Motor Car Company.
Ford started the Ford Motor Company in 1903.
The first car, called the Model A, was assembled a month later.
Only a few of them could be assembled every day and they were assembled from parts ordered
from other companies.
In October 1908, the Model T was introduced and changed the world.
To make them quickly, Ford utilized mass production techniques that are still common today, including
large plants, replaceable parts, and the moving assembly line.
The car was a massive success, and it started Ford on his way to enormous wealth.
At his peak, Ford had somewhere in the neighborhood of $200 billion.
8.
William the Conqueror – $229 billion
William was the illegitimate son of Robert I, duke of Normandy.
His father died in 1035, which made William, who was eight, the Duke of Normandy.
Amazingly, despite several attempts on his life, Williams survived into adulthood.
By 1064, he had taken over the neighboring provinces of Brittany and Maine.
In 1066, the King of England, Edward the Confessor, died.
Before his death, Edward told several people they would be the heir to his throne.
One of them was William and another was Edward's brother-in-law Harold Godwin.
On his deathbed, Edward named Godwin as his successor and he assumed the throne the next
day.
This angered William, so he decided to invade England.
The Norman Invasion of 1066 was one of the most pivotal events in English history and
it also made William the Conqueror a very wealthy man.
According to the website The Richest, William would have been worth $229 billion.
7.
Osman Ali Khan – $230 billion
Osman Ali Khan was the Nizam (ruler) of the State of Hyderabad.
His reign lasted from 1911 until 1948, when the state was annexed by India.
Khan made his wealth from royalties from mining diamonds in Hyderabad.
During the 18th century, it was the only state to supply diamonds.
Khan apparently owned 50 Rolls-Royces and he used a 185-carat diamond as a paperweight.
In 1937, he appeared on the cover of Time and they proclaimed him the richest man in
the world.
His net worth is believed to have been somewhere around $230 billion.
In his later years, Khan became reclusive and he died on February 24, 1967, at the age
of 81.
6.
Nikolai Alexandrovich Romanov – $300 billion
Born in May 1868, in Pushkin, Russia, Nikolai Alexandrovich Romanov became Emperor Nicholas
II following his father's death in May 1894.
Nicholas II was ill-prepared to become Tsar and he didn't want the position.
But, Nicholas firmly believed that his job was ordained by God.
And although he strongly believed in autocracy, he also establish an elected legislature.
Nicholas' reign as Tsar was marred with controversy starting from his coronation.
There was a stampede of people and hundreds died.
Nicholas II and his wife didn't know about the stampede and were seen smiling throughout
the day and into the evening.
Another major controversy was Bloody Sunday, which happened on January 22, 1905.
Thousands of workers were killed by Nicholas II's troops while they were peacefully protesting.
This led to more protests and more suppressions.
Then, during World War I, Russia suffered major military losses, food shortages, and
inflation.
Many people blamed Nicholas II for this.
As a result, he abdicated from the throne in March 1917 and was placed under house arrest.
The Bolsheviks, who were led by Vladimir Lenin, murdered Nicholas II along with his wife,
his five children and a handful of loyalists, sometime on the night of July 16 or the morning
of July 17, 1918.
Nicholas II's death marked the end of the Romanov dynasty after it had ruled Russia
for 300 years.
When he died, Nicholas II had a net worth of around $300 billion.
5.
John D. Rockefeller – $371 billion
John D. Rockefeller Sr. was born in New York in 1839.
At the age of 24, he started to invest in petroleum.
Rockefeller then went on to co-found the Standard Oil company and by 1880, it became not only
the leading oil company, but one of the biggest companies in the world.
At its peak, Standard Oil controlled 90% of America's oil production.
When Rockefeller died in 1937, The New York Times reported that his net worth, based on
his 1918 tax return, was $1.5 billion.
If you account for inflation, that is over $32 billion, which really isn't that much
compared to someone like Bill Gates.
So to really understand how much money Rockefeller had, it's important to compare his personal
wealth to the economy at the time.
Rockefeller's assets were 2% of the American GDP, so that would be like someone being worth
$371 billion today.
4.
Andrew Carnegie – $389 billion
Andrew Carnegie, who we're sure you know best as the guy Scrooge McDuck was likely
based on, was born in 1835 in Scotland.
His family immigrated to the United States when he was just a child and they settled
in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
His family was poor, but Carnegie worked hard throughout his whole life.
He founded Carnegie Steel in 1892 and it became one of the biggest producers of steel in the
world.
Carnegie sold the company to banker and financier J.P. Morgan in 1901.
In the deal, Carnegie made $480 million.
At the time, that was about 2.1 percent of America's GDP.
That means for someone to have the same amount of money now, it would be around $210 billion.
After Morgan purchased the company, it became United States Steel Corporation and the business
is still in operation today.
Carnegie gave away most of his wealth, making him one of the greatest philanthropist in
history.
He died in August 1911.
3.
Jakob Fugger – $400 billion
Born in Augsburg, Germany, in March 1459, Jakob Fugger's family ran a successful textile
business and Fugger grew up rich.
As an adult, he made some savvy loans to people like the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I and
he financially backed Charles V in his rise to the King of Spain.
Because he backed the right men, Fugger was given lucrative mining contracts.
He then flooded the markets with these metals and drove many of his competitors out of business,
allowing him to be the dominant metal supplier in the world at the time.
Fugger eventually became so wealthy that he was called Jakob the Rich.
As for exactly how rich Fugger was, he had 2% of Europe's GDP at the time, which would
be around $400 billion today.
We know what you're thinking – Jakob was one rich Fugger.
2.
Musa Keita – $428 billion
Musa Keita was the Mansa (Sultan) of the African country of Mali from 1312-1337 and trying
to determine how rich he was is straight up mind-boggling.
What is known is that his kingdom was the biggest producer of gold in the world, when
gold was highly in demand.
Rudolph Ware, an associate professor of history at the University of Michigan, says that,
"There are pictures of him holding a scepter of gold on a throne of gold holding a cup
of gold with a golden crown on his head.
Imagine as much gold as you think a human being could possess and double it, that's
what all the accounts are trying to communicate."
With his gold, Musa amassed an army that was 200,000 men strong.
When he traveled, he spent money lavishly.
There is a story of him going to Mecca, and his spending causing a currency crisis in
Egypt.
The best estimates for his wealth are somewhere around $426 billion.

1.
Augustus Caesar $4.75 trillion
Gaius Octavius was the great-nephew and adopted son of Julius Caesar.
When Caesar was assassinated in 43 BC, Octavius was named his heir.
After he defeated Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium, he became ruler of Rome.
He replaced the republic with a monarchy and he took the name Augustus.
Augustus was the first Emperor of Rome and he was also one of their greatest leaders.
He brought the country to newfound prosperity, which also brought Augustus a tremendous amount
of wealth.
His empire was one of the richest in history, and his personal wealth was about one-fifth
of the entire empire.
At one point, he personally owned the country of Egypt, which is a pretty impressive real
estate portfolio.
Augustus's wealth, at its peak, would have been about $4.75 trillion, making him arguably
the richest man who ever lived.
He died in August 14 AD, at the age
of 75.
