“I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success . . . such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything.

– Nikola Tesla

E

veryone has heard of Thomas Edison and his inventions that revolutionized the modern world as we know it. But not many know that we had a man who rivaled Edison living just south of Monument in Colorado Springs, creating and inventing things that were way ahead of their times. His name was Nikola Tesla. Although he didn’t spend all his time in the Springs, the area still has a unique connection to the man that some have said brought about the second Industrial Revolution. What was so special about Nikola Tesla? What did he do that earned him such notoriety? Snippetz decided to dig deeper to find out!

dynamo design. When he told Edison that he thought he could redesign the generators, Edison replied, “There’s $50,000 in it for you – if you can do it.” Naturally, Tesla worked at the task until he achieved what he set out to do and when he told Edison he wanted the money he had earned, Edison said, “Tesla, you don’t understand our American humor.” When it became clear he was never going to get the money Edison jokingly offered him, Tesla quit.

TESLA AND EDISON

BUSINESS, FINANCE

While still in Europe, Tesla joined the Continental Edison Company in Paris where he designed dynamos, which are electrical generators that produce direct current with the use of commutators. Although he was busy working on other devices, Tesla continued to work on his design for the induction motor and successfully built a prototype for it. No one in Europe was ready for his innovative machine and Tesla decided to move to New York to work with Thomas Edison himself.

Following his departure from Edison’s company, Tesla joined up with Robert Lane and Benjamin Vale, two businessmen who agreed to finance an electric lighting company called Tesla Electric Light & Manufacturing. Through that company, Tesla obtained his first patents in the United States.

With the help of a photographic memory and the unique ability to visualize anything in three dimensions, Tesla was able to see the solution to a problem he had struggled with for some time. He grabbed a stick and drew a diagram in the sand for the friend who was with him, describing the principle of the machine he was drawing as he went.

It turns out, he was drawing the basic blueprints for an induction motor.

TESLA COMES TO COLORADO SPRINGS Several years and many inventions later, Tesla travelled to Colorado Springs where he would have room to conduct his high-voltage, high-frequency experiments. He set up shop near Foote Avenue and Kiowa Street because that area provided access to a polyphase

Unfortunately, Tesla’s inventions weren’t very well received by his partners and the pair forced Tesla out of the company. Over the next few years, he continued his work with alternating current electricity and managed to find two more investors to help him promote his inventions and secure patents.

The partnership proved to be a good one for Tesla. Brown and Peck managed to negotiate a licensing deal with George Westinghouse of the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company for Tesla’s polyphase induction motor and transformer designs for a total of $60,000 in cash and stock, with royalties of $2.50 per AC horsepower produced by each motor they developed.

Westinghouse also secured Tesla’s services for the equivalent of $52,500 per month by today’s standards to act as a consultant for his company for one year.

TESLA MOVES ONE

Tesla went to school at the Realschule, Karlstadt in 1873, the Polytechnic Institute in Graz, Austria and the University of Prague. He planned to establish a career in physics and mathematics but electricity soon stole his heart. He got a job as an electrical engineer with a telephone company in Budapest in 1881. That’s where Tesla’s incredible mind kicked into gear.

duction motor is said to be one of the ten greatest discoveries of all time.

AC power distribution system and Tesla knew some people who would allow him access to that power, free of charge.

TESLA INVENTIONS AND DISCOVERIES

Tesla conducted his first experiment at that lab on June 15, 1899 and said that the first spark he recorded was five inches long and very thick and noisy.

While in the Springs, Tesla studied atmospheric electricity by observing lightning signals from the receivers he developed. Tesla placed them on top of Pikes Peak and was able to even create his own lightning, the voltage of which reached into the millions and bolts reached up to 135 feet long. When he created this artificial lightning, the thunder from the bolts could be heard in Cripple Creek and people reported seeing sparks flying between their feet and the ground or their hands and the water faucet when touched.

DEATH After a long and successful career, Tesla died on January 7, 1943 in a room at the New Yorker Hotel. An examination of his body indicated that he died of a coronary thrombosis. His life was rich with invention but he had expressed some regret that he never made an attempt to have a relationship with anyone. His work was totally consuming and he didn’t have time for such things, he said. Tesla’s alternating current in-

• He is considered the father of the radio and modern electrical transmissions systems.

• He was born during a lightning storm. The midwife helping his mother through her labor was said to have claimed that Tesla would be a child of darkness because of the storm but his mother said, “No. He will be a child of light.”

• He absolutely despised pearls.

He refused to speak to anyone wearing them and sent home his secretary the day she wore them.

• He wore white gloves to dinner every night.

• He developed the idea of a new form of communication that involved fathering stock quotes and telegram messages, sending them to his lab where he could encode them and then send them out on a new frequency to a handheld device that each person could carry. Basically, he developed the idea for the Smartphone . . . in 1901.

UNIVERSAL EYE

M

uch change is occurring around us at this time. From a physical standpoint, our country is changing, our economy is changing, and our laws are changing.

From an energetic standpoint, energy is becoming stronger around us and many people are feeling change or the desire for change within themselves.

In addition to that we are seeing an increase in solar activity. When that happens, it directly affects people’s minds and emotions. This can occur on a subtle or obvious level.

When solar activity or solar flares increase in intensity and frequency, the dark (unseen) energy from those flares impacts the electromagnetic field of the Earth. It also impacts the electromagnetic field of people as well. The dark energy pushes against people’s current energetic structure. If that structure is full of anger, depression, and/ or fear, the dark energy pushes against it and increases that anger, depression, and/or fear. If the energetic structure is full of joy, passion for life, and excitement for life, it pushes against that structure and increases that as well.

Many people are feeling change. For some, it is an increase in their anger, fear, anxiety, and depression. For

some, it is an increase in their joy, passion, and purpose in life. Either way, Life Energy Flow Tai Yi can assist in understanding the change that is occurring.

When a person understands the change that is occurring, he or she can make choices that either alters the change to create a positive change or continue the current change to keep it positive.

In other words, a person can look at the change and either make different choices to create a positive outcome or if the current choices have already been positive, continuing to make those choices.

eye. Many times, people from this region refer to the whole lot of them as Òpeas,Ó which someone from the North would strongly disagree with.

The Tai Yi treatment Universal Eye works with the mental and emotional meridians to assist a person in understanding change, regardless if that change has been a positive or negative experience. The treatment brings sensitivity to the person receiving the treatment and brings awareness to the conscious mind as to how change is occurring personally for the person receiving the treatment. It can also assist a person in understanding how he or she may be resisting positive change and why that may be occurring.

A WORLD OF PEAS

W

hile we are one big United States, the vastness and diversity of our country is most obvious in the food we eat.

While we all salute the same flag, when it comes to food, we form smaller, ferociously loyal groups. Our culinary inheritance was granted to us by the distinct land that each of us calls home, and the place where we took our first bites.

The person receiving this treatment can expect to feel a deeper understanding of their choices, the outcomes, and what to do next.

If you are a Southerner, you’ve probably had more than one bowl of Purple Hull peas. They are a cultivar of a bigger family of Southern peas, or cow peas. Most people have heard of its more popular cousin, the blackeyed pea, even if they’ve never spent New Year’s Day boiling up a pot flavored with a smoked ham hock. In the South, we also enjoy crowder peas, cream peas and the more exotic pink-

It’s all a little confusing, with so many similar types that are each slightly different from the other. Especially since all of them are not really peas by botanical definition, but beans. Peas also possess all the wonderful qualities of beans as a meatless source of protein and daily fiber.

It is believed that Southern peas were brought here from Africa and planted by plantation and farm owners as food for livestock. That’s how black-eyed peas became known as cow peas.

Peas often are a confusing category of varieties that only Southerners truly understand. But in deep summer, all of these types of peas are available.

Peas are so popular that there are festivals celebrating the harvest all over the South.

As with so many foods, though, what was once scorned is now craved. Folks who’ve grown up eating them covet fresh peas, which cook up in no time.

But if you can’t get fresh, then use the ones in the frozen vegetable section of your grocery. Whether fresh or frozen, they’ll be delicious in my recipe for Southern Succotash.

SOUTHERN SUCCOTASH This the perfect recipe to prepare in a slow-cooker! I love the addition of fresh or frozen okra at the end of the cooking time. If using fresh okra, don’t cut the pods until right before adding them to the pot to prevent them from becoming slimy.

ACQUIRE CONFIDENCE PART 3:

LOOKING AHEAD

By Ron Ross

T

his weekly column is a portion of a book soon to be published under the title, “Acquire Confidence: What Confident People Do That You Can Do Too!” When the book is complete it will have six sections with several of the columns as a part of each section.

The following is a summary of each section: Purpose for Living: Every living person is here for a purpose. While most people spend most of their lives only sucking up air and taking up space, you will notice that self-confident people know who they are and why they are here. You will realize that “who you are” is all you need to be, and that envying someone else is

wasted effort. Your quirks and distinctive character traits are what make you stand out. You will discover how YOU to celebrate and build on them and thereby live on purpose. You will come to understand that life has meaning and purpose not only while you are here but also in your life to come.

www.AmadaSeniorCare.com/ColoradoSprings this section you will learn how to protect you mind, to feed your faith and starve your fears, to take positive action, and to be self-constructive.

Proceed Forward: Perhaps the greatest inhibitor of success is inertia. Successful people don’t sit still, they constantly move forward. Confidence will come to you when you take a step forward, when you try something new, when you face your fears. In this section you will learn to do what confident people do, how to deal with mistakes and how to take risks that bring the great rewards.

Prepare for Action: Your purpose must be pursued. No one gets good at anything without practice. Practice takes time, effort, coaching, and a good attitude. It is called preparation. When both mind and body have been properly prepared for action, confidence follows, success follows. In this section you will learn how to get really good at what you are already pretty good at!

Persevere Always: On your journey to self-confidence you will find some bad weather along the way, several bumps in the road and sometimes some dangerous detours. Confident people see past the diversions and discomforts, trials and

Protect Your Mind: Graffiti is not something that is found only on walls and railroad cars. There is also “graffiti of the mind.” That is the nasty, nettlesome, negative messages insecure people repeatedly bombard themselves with. In

troubles and push through to success. In this section you will see precisely how confident people always persevere.

Program Your Priorities: The final section of the book brings you full circle to reconnect you with your Purpose for Living. Here you will be taught how to set the proper priorities so you fulfill your unique purpose for living.

Join me each week right here for another “Kick in the Pants” and another column that will help you Acquire Confidence!

HERE’S THE SKINNY ON ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS DEAR DR. ROACH: I have questions regarding sugar substitutes. I have come to the overwhelming conclusion that sugar is a poison to the human body. However, I have never read any information regarding the safety of sugar substitutes. My questions are: Are they harmless to our bodies; are some safer than others; and do any benefits exist in using some over others?

-- J.R.K.B. ANSWER: While I think the term “poison” is too strong, I agree that excess sugar is unhealthy and contributes to both Type 2 diabetes and to obesity. Natural sugars, such as from whole fruits, appear to be treated differently in the body from added sugars, such as those in soft drinks, sports drinks and energy drinks.

Your question is about sugar substitutes, and there are many. There’s no way to comprehensively cover them all, but let me talk about the different types.

Artificial sweeteners include aspartame (Equal, NutraSweet), saccharin (Sweet’N Low), sucralose (Splenda) and others. Many experts feel that these are safe in reasonable doses, but some people may have unpleasant reactions to any of them. Aspartame and saccharin have been linked to cancer in laboratory animals.

The natural sweetener Stevia is generally well-tolerated and safe.

Sugar alcohols, such as sorbitol, xylitol and mannitol, raise blood sugars somewhat and often cause cramping, gas

Individualized treatment for:

and diarrhea if taken in large quantities or by people sensitive to their effects.

So, while all are generally safe, any can cause side effects. I don’t recommend any of them above the others, though I have seen reactions to sugar alcohols most frequently. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been diagnosed with Holmes-Adie syndrome.

I cannot find much information on this syndrome other than that it is rare, caused by a virus or bacteria and affects the autonomic nervous system. What is the autonomic nervous system? Can you provide any information on this condition, if it will progress and what to expect? What kind of doctor treats it? -- N.W. ANSWER: The Adie pupil, also called Adie’s tonic pupil, is found when the eye loses part of its nerve supply. This causes one pupil to be bigger than the other during light exposure but smaller than the other when looking at objects close up. An Adie’s pupil usually occurs without other problems in the autonomic nervous system, but it can occur alongside other problems, such as Ross syndrome, where the Adie pupil is associated with abnormal reflexes and partial loss of sweating. Syphilis causes a similar pupil, but on both sides, in which case a test for syphilis should be done.

An eye doctor can help fit special glasses with one lens that’s different from the other to help correct the vision issues that may occur. Fortunately, most cases do not progress.

The booklet on macular degeneration explains another common eye ailment.

MOMENTS IN TIME THE HISTORY CHANNEL

• On July 23, 1888, Raymond Chandler, creator of detective Philip Marlowe, is born in Chicago. During the Depression, Chandler turned to writing to support himself.

He published his novel “The Big Sleepâ€? in 1939, followed by “Farewell My Lovelyâ€? and “The Long Goodbye.â€? • On July 25, 1917, in Paris, exotic dancer Mata Hari is sentenced to death by a French court for spying on Germany’s behalf during World War I. Since 1903, Margueretha Gertruida Zelle had performed in Paris as a dancer under the name Mata Hari, claiming she was an Indian priestess. • On July 21, 1925, John T. Scopes is convicted of violating Tennessee’s law against teaching evolution in public schools. The case was only for show, and the jury only conferred for a few moments. The American Civil Liberties Union had advertised for a teacher who would let himself be arrested to challenge the law and open it for public debate.

• On July 22, 1933, American aviator Wiley Post returns to New York, becoming the first aviator to fly solo around the world.

Post flew a Lockheed Vega monoplane, nicknamed the Winnie Mae. • On July 26, 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt seizes all Japanese assets in the United States in retaliation for the Japanese occupation of French Indo-China.

Britain and the Dutch East Indies followed suit. The result: Japan lost access to threefourths of its overseas trade and 88 percent of its imported oil. • On July 24, 1959, during the grand opening ceremony of the American National Exhibition in Moscow, Vice President Richard Nixon and Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev engage in a heated debate in the middle of a model kitchen set up for the fair. The “kitchen debateâ€? became one of the most famous episodes of the Cold War. • On July 27, 1974, the House Judiciary Committee recommends that America’s 37th president, Richard M. Nixon, be impeached and removed from office. The impeachment proceedings resulted from a series of political scandals known as Watergate. On Aug. 8, Nixon announced his resignation.

• You may be among those people who think good deeds and selfless acts are on the decline. If so, consider this story: In 2010, an employee at a recycling company came across 23 U.S. savings bonds while sorting through a bin of discarded papers. Instead of trying to cash the $22,000 worth of bonds himself, Mike Rodgers decided to track down the owner. It turned out that the woman who had bought the bonds, Martha Dobbins, had

been dead for almost two decades. Rodgers didn’t give up, though; he began a search for Robert Roberts, who was also named on the bonds. Though the name is common and Rodgers hit many dead ends, he eventually located the correct Robert Roberts, the son of Martha Dobbins. Roberts hadn’t even been aware of the bonds’ existence. Rodgers, his good deed finally being done, refused a reward.

A pawn shop is a place where you hand over something you own -such as jewelry, a musical instrument, electronics, TV, gun or power tools -- in exchange for cash. When you pay the money back, you get your possession back. It’s in the paying it back that problems can arise.

THE NAKED TRUTH

by Nick Yanez

I

not talking about how movies and television have more sexual content and topless women running around; that’s been true for years. I’m talking about reality shows actually based around naked people.

Take for example the new buzzworthy VH1 romantic reality show Dating Nude. The show is exactly what it sounds like, pitting single men and women in a neutral dating environment with one twist – they’re completely naked the whole time.

Another fine example would be Discovery Channel’s Naked and Afraid. A conservative network by nature, Discovery (like VH1), pits a man and a women completely naked together. In this show the two are thrown into the wilderness to see how long they can survive with virtually no supplies or help. Yet another show is TLC’s Buying Naked, which follows nudists seeking to buy a home. Are you seeing the theme here?

f you were to go to any community college or university seeking a marketing degree you would be taught Marketing 101.

This would include instructions about a proper press release, what images and angles appeal to a buyer’s eye, and how to play specifically to a demographic. Of course, if we’re being honest, marketing 101 is quite simple in the 21st century Obviously this doesn’t seem like – sex sells. ideal family viewing.
