(Ancient Code) Nikola Tesla is the most unappreciated scientists, inventor and researchers to ever live on our planet. He was responsible for coming up with the idea of the Alternating current and AC motor still in use today. In fact, over 90 percent of his inventions are being used today or are parts of other end products of the 21st century. Tesla’s High-Frequency generators and transformers are still used today, and he is the inventor who came up with the Radio and Antenna mast long before Marconi and Popov. Tesla’s main goal was the world with free and unlimited energy, and if his projects weren’t sabotaged the way they were, today our civilization would most likely be traveling among the stars. Today, regrettably, his, inventions and patents are kept away from society. However, that isn’t the worst part of the story. Regrettably, Tesla continues to be absent from history books, and many people are still unaware of his inventions and products. At a young age, Tesla became fascinated with electricity. He was determined that one day, he would harness the power of the Universe in benefit of all living creatures. He is the man who harnessed lightning; he was a true genius, he envisioned new technologies far before their time and claimed to have had contact with extraterrestrial beings. He was the ultimate mad scientists and deserves much more respect and room in history books. As part of our little initiative to bring Tesla back into history, we have searched for extremely rare images of Tesla. We have managed to discover dozens of extremely fascinating images of Nikola Tesla, which will allow us to travel back in time and understand more about this genius and how he lived over 100 years ago. 1) One of our favorite images of Tesla. In this photograph, Tesla looks out the door of his laboratory in Colorado Springs. The image was taken in 1899.

Hmmmmm |
Wrote one letter to a girl like that in my class. But was so tensed to go to school the next day, so afraid to see the girl might said no. And lo and behold, I faked an illness and didn't go to school. Thanks to a friend that delivered the letter and reply. Those times are beautiful! |
Only in Kenya |
Lol..... |
The first poem was so sincere that I could hear my tummy murmuring. The second poem however, was so dope that I could see my head nodding. ![]() But neither of the poem didn't splash any blood as the titled portrayed because all I wanna do is to fvcking splash the blood of my enemies. ![]() But here, I go for brevity and the sincerity that comes with the first poem. Laveda, u've this! |

Losing a limb is painful enough for any human being. Yet we read so many stories of courage, hope and triumph in the midst of defeat, that it makes the rest of us realize life is about more than just how you look. But to lose a limb AND go on a national TV talent show and perform in front of millions? Now that’s a story we don’t often hear. 27 year old Subhreet Kaur Gumman, aka the one-legged dancer as she is now famously known, from Ludhiana, India, has just done something so remarkable, her story is being shared around the globe. In October 2009 she lost one of her legs in a motorcycle accident, which dramatically altered the course of her life. “I fractured my knee badly but I wasn’t dying, my life wasn’t in danger thankfully,” she told the Daily Mail in the UK who covered her story. However due to negligence from the hospital which left her lying in a bed for two weeks, her leg took a turn for the worse. “My mum begged doctors to treat me, but they just put my leg in a brace and left me. They didn’t even attempt to treat my fracture,” said Subhreet. She already had a pre-existing condition called Arterioenous Malformation, which is an abnormal connection between veins and arteries. This made doctors apprehensive about performing surgery on her. Two weeks later when she did have the surgery, a doctor mistakenly cut a vital vein which left her bleeding uncontrollably. This meant she had to wait even longer for her leg to heal from the bleeding, for the doctors to be able to fix the fracture. She was sent home, and eventually her leg started to get worse and worse. She was bed ridden for two more months and started to see her toes and leg turn black. The infection had spread so far Subhreet begged her mother to have her leg amputated. “I was sobbing. I was devastated, but I knew that I had to cut it off, it was the only option left and the only chance I had of trying to get my life back,” she said. Almost a year after the accident she had her leg amputated, and surprisingly, it was a relief for Subhreet not to have a lifeless limb attached to her anymore. After the surgery, she started reading a lot of stories about other amputees and how they re-started their life and was inspired to get back into something she had been doing since she was a girl: dancing. “I decided not to fall into darkness but show the world that I was a strong person and continue my passion for dance. My mother was shocked but happily agreed to support me,” she said. “My friends started ignoring me, people showed me sympathy, but it was pity. I didn’t want pity.” Most of the dance studios near her originally rejected her because of her disability. Eventually she found one, Rockstar Academy (fitting name!) in nearby Chandigarh who accepted her. Subhreet decided to take her journey to recover one huge step further and audition for India’s Got Talent. She got as far as the finals in the show, and although she didn’t win, the platform that she had on the talent show ensured her story went far and wide. Subhreet isn’t angry that she didn’t win, because most of all she proved to herself and to everyone around her (especially the naysayers) that she is just as capable of achieving anything that a person with two legs can. “My life has changed completely. I have seen the darkest days but now everything seems beautiful. People recognize me when I go out, they ask me for photographs and autographs. It is an amazing feeling.” She is known affectionately as the “one-legged dancer”. Dancing was never something she wanted to do professionally, but her life has taken her in a direction she never could’ve imagined. Just as other amputees’ stories inspired Subhreet, her own journey of determination despite the odds will no doubt make an impact on many other lives. In a country like India which is still fiercely traditional, a girl with one leg could be considered an “outcast”, yet this brave young woman isn’t about to let tradition, culture or stigma stop her from being an absolute rockstar at life! Her story reminds us of Amy Purdy , the snowboarder who literally grabbed life by the balls after losing her limbs. She has given a Ted Talk, became the first ever double- amputee to compete at an Olympic level this year at the Sochi Olympics, and started her own organization to raise money for other amputee athletes who want to find the best prosthetics for their sport. Both of these strong women are examples of how, when you’ve got nothing more to lose, how do you start winning? And it is a lesson to those of us who may not have lost any part of our bodies, but need a good inspirational story to kick us up the butt. Will a setback in your life make you give up or rise up? Ability always stand firm in disABILITY. NEVER GIVE UP. [url=girltalkhq.com/one-legged-dancer-stuns-indias-got-talent-audience-judges/]CREDIT TO[/url]
