"Todos somos uno. Solo los egos, creencias y miedos nos separan"

Nikola Tesla

Fue un inventor, ingeniero eléctrico, ingeniero mecánico y físico estadounidense de origen serbocroata, nacido en julio de 1856 en el pueblo de Smiljan en la actual Croacia.

Su padre fue un sacerdote de la iglesia ortodoxa serbia y su madre ama de casa.

Aunque algunas fuentes afirman que se licenció en la universidad de Graz, la universidad afirma que no recibió ningún título y que no terminó la carrera abandonando esta al segundo semestre del tercer año.

Tesla leía y memorizaba libros completos, ya que supuestamente poseía una memoria fotográfica, así como visualizaba una invención en su cerebro con precisión extrema incluyendo sus dimensiones antes de iniciar la etapa de construcción, técnica conocida como pensamiento visual.

Se le conoce fundamentalmente por sus numerosas invenciones en el campo del electromagnetismo. Las patentes de Tesla y su trabajo teórico, ayudaron a forjar las bases de los sistemas modernos para el uso de energía eléctrica por corriente alterna.

Su carácter y su enfrentamiento con Edison, así como el halo de misterio que lo rodea hicieron que Tesla se convirtiera en un científico muy popular a partir de la época de los 90.

Tesla se trasladó a París Francia para trabajar como ingeniero en la Continental Edison Company una de las compañías de Thomas Alva Edison, diseñando mejoras para el equipo eléctrico, y en 1884 viajó a Nueva York en los Estados Unidos con una recomendación de un antiguo empleador de Edison que decía, “Conozco a dos grandes hombres, usted es uno de ellos, el otro es este joven”.

La carrera de Tesla progresó rápidamente, diseñando completamente generadores de corriente continua y con un ofrecimiento importante para mejorar dichos generadores renunció al cargo cuando le fue negado un aumento de salario a 25 dólares semanales.

En 1886 Tesla funda su propia compañía y posteriormente comenzó a trabajar con George Westinghouse en la Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company, misma que posteriormente debido a problemas financieros tuvo que abandonar tras el pago de una patente a Tesla como parte de un acuerdo de intercambio de patentes firmado con General Electric una compañía fusionada entre Edison y Thomposon-Houston en 1892.

Tras el pago de su patente, Tesla se hizo económicamente independiente y durante los siguientes 12 años trabajo en una serie de talleres en Manhattan y luego en Colorado Springs.

Realizó trabajos sobre resonancia magnética, experimentos con rayos X, radio control remoto y transmisión de energía eléctrica sin cables, gastando una fortuna y gran parte de su tiempo en este ultimo proyecto. Otra buena parte de la etapa final de su vida la vivió absorto en el proceso judicial que entablo en lo relativo a la invención del radio que disputaba con Guillermo Marconi inventor italiano, pues Tesla había inventado un dispositivo similar 15 años antes que Marconi. No fue sino hasta 1960, que se reconoció que la patente relativa a la radio era legítimamente propiedad de Tesla, aunque popularmente aun se le considera a Marconi como su inventor.

Tesla muere a la edad de 86 años en enero de 1943, solo y en la ruina económica, viviendo en hoteles sumando cuentas impagables, desde 1934 la Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company comenzó a pagarle 125 dólares mensuales ademas de abonar su alquiler por el resto de su vida, algunos dicen para cuidar la imagen de la compañía y evitar la mala publicidad, dadas las condiciones empobrecidas bajo las cuales vivía su ex inventor estrella.

He began to understand, based on his own experience, that being a Christian meant waging a constant and merciless battle against evil and death in one's own heart, a battle with no front lines or cease-fires, in which the enemy neither sleeps nor tires.

Chile Architecture Biennial - Smiljan Radić

[userthatisnotauser]

Thinking about my own OCS too hard makes me nauseous. Smiljan's storm/storm chasers as a whole is based heavily on my own experience in losing multiple close family members within basically weeks of each other and different reactions to loss. One of my childhood pets also died of cancer that year which was devastating at the time but kinda funny now in the timing of it

day 1 of 30 - first meeting

04.07.2006 - the first (known) meeting of Rakitić and Modrić in the match between FC Basel and Dinamo Zagreb.

The scoreline of the friendly match ended up being a draw 2-2, with Vugrinec and Da Silva scoring in the first half and (comedically) with Petrić and Rakitić scoring in the second half to even the game.

Both Petrić and Rakitić started their international careers in the Switzerland team, with the first joining Croatia in 2002 and the latter in 2007. Though it hasn’t been said, I like to think Raketa’s decision to join the vatreni was partially influenced by this match :-)

An overview of the match, according to this FCB forum: After the match, the 18-year-old Rakitic was enrounded by Croatian supporters and journalists. On one hand, because the Croatian-Swiss double citizen was the man of the match with a goal and an assist. On the other hand, because the Croatian NT leaders compete for the services of the midfielder. "But I won't let myself be pushed," said the Swiss U19 national player Rakitic. Because the joy of his first goal for the FCB prevailed with him. "First, I want to assert myself at the FCB."

Assert himself he did, receiving the Swiss Goal of the Year award for his goal against St. Gallen three months after this meeting. Before joining Schalke in 2007, he had already scored 20 goals in his proffesional career, but more on that on another time.

Apa yang terjadi jika orang-orang yang suka berbagi dikumpulkan dalam satu ruang? Selamat datang di Smiljan. Sebuah ruang di Bintaro yang siap menyambut kolaborasi-kolaborasi bermakna untuk mengisi pemikiran-pemikiran baru dari mereka yang mengisi ruang rasa. Kolaborasi matters.

what do you want done with your remains when you die?

I always said "Bury me in Mirogoj or near Smiljan, if neither of those are available just throw me to dogs." *shrugs, opening drawers and looking through them* I guess last one happen.

Nikola Tesla: The Visionary Inventor Who Changed the World

Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist who is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. He was also Tesla was born in Smiljan, Croatia, in 1856. He studied engineering in Austria and France, and he emigrated to the United States in 1884. He worked for Thomas Edison for a short time before starting his own company. Tesla invented or made significant improvements to a wide range of technologies, including: The AC electricity supply system, which is now the standard system used around the world The Tesla coil, which is used in a variety of applications, including radio and television The fluorescent light The remote control The rotating magnetic field, which is used in electric motors and generators Tesla was a prolific inventor, and he held over 700 patents. He was also a gifted writer and lecturer, and he gave many talks and wrote articles about his work.

[orthodoxadventure]

In 1978 Fr. Thaddeus told G., one of his spiritual daughters, of another vision he had seen in a dream. "I had barely fallen asleep when I dreamt that I had died. Two young men led me into a room and had me stand on some sort of platform between them. To my right were the judges. Someone in the far left corner of the room was reading the charges against me. "That's him! That's the one who cannot get along with anyone!" I stood there dumbfounded. The voice repeated the same accusation two more times. Then the young man standing on my right said to me, 'Do not be afraid! It is not true that you cannot get along with anyone. You just cannot get along with yourself!'" At that moment the words of St. Isaac the Syrian that Fr. Thaddeus had repeated countless times to himself and to his spiritual children became his sole path to salvation: "Make peace with yourself, and both heaven and earth will make peace with you."
