Podcast appearances and mentions of Thomas Edison

In the late 19th century Thomas Edison forever changed the world with his invention of the lightbulb. Despite the availability of fire, candlelight, and streetlamps, Edison's invention provided a level of sight never before seen. Thanks to Edison, many of us can't imagine a world without constant access to light. In John 8, Jesus tells us that he is the light of the world and that walking with him results not in darkness, but in light and life! Join us this Sunday as we continue in our series "The Seven I Ams."

Failure has a way of getting personal fast. One bad decision, one awkward moment, one plan that collapses, and suddenly we're not just looking at something that went wrong, we're questioning who we are. I'm Danny Mac and today I'm pushing back on that lie with a simple truth: failing doesn't make you a failure. We start with the famous Thomas Edison light bulb story. He failed 1000 times before he finally succeeded in producing a working light. This is a powerful lesson because it captures a mindset most of us need to borrow. Edison didn't treat each attempt as proof he couldn't do it. He treated every “wrong” result as a step toward the right one. That same resilience applies to real life problems like a struggling business, a lost job, a relationship that sours, or a solution that creates a bigger mess. The goal isn't to pretend it doesn't hurt. The goal is to keep moving.  Philippians 4:13: “I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength.” From there, I share a practical three-part framework you can use today: assess what went wrong, review what you can learn, and adjust your next move. We also talk about the private battles many people carry like habits, attitudes, and limitations and why you don't have to face those alone. If you need hope and a next step, press play, then share this with someone who's been beating themselves up.

What if the moments just before sleep are the most powerful moments of your day?In this episode of the Uncanny Dally Series of the Healing for Hot Messes Podcast, we take a deep dive into Neville Goddard's SATS (State Akin to Sleep), one of the most discussed manifestation techniques in modern metaphysical thought.But rather than treating SATS as simple manifestation advice, we explore it through the lenses of depth psychology, the unconscious mind, and chaos magic. Why does this liminal state seem so potent? What happens to consciousness as we move between waking and sleeping? And why have mystics, magicians, inventors, and visionaries all pointed to this threshold state as a source of extraordinary creativity and transformation?We also explore the famous creative practices of Salvadore Dali and Thomas Edison, both of whom intentionally worked with the hypnagogic state, the twilight zone between wakefulness and sleep, to generate insights, inventions, and breakthrough ideas.In this conversation, we discuss:

In 1917, a dead Mark Twain "wrote" a novel through a Ouija board — and the lawsuit that followed forced everyone to ask who really owns a book authored from the afterlife.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/ghostwritingREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/366f2snyFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Did Mark Twain write a new novel after he was dead? If so, how? *** Though David Parker Ray's girlfriend Cindy Hendy helped him commit numerous rapes and murders in the 1990s, she was released in 2019 and walks free today. *** Louis Le Prince vanished under mysterious circumstances, but did he willingly decide to hide from the outside world, or was he murdered? *** A man has a dream so disturbing that he's deeply affected by it well after he dreamt it. And the reason it stuck with him could be that it wasn't a dream after all – but a premonition of something horrible to come. *** Shortly after finishing her junior year of high school, Alissa Turner disappeared, never to be seen alive again. Her murder would've gone unsolved if not for the social media platform, TikTok. *** Humans have been fascinated with Mars ever since we learned it was a planet. But why are we so obsessed with it? Is it simply our next step towards deep-space travel, or are we drawn to it for a more basic reason… because our ancestors originated from there? *** There are many UFO sightings on record, but ones that are accompanied by missing time are particularly interesting. Perhaps not least as they might suggest something more akin to alien abduction than just a mere sighting. We'll look at one particular incident that took place in Nebraska in 1966.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:02:26.278 = Do Copyright Laws Apply To Spirit Writing?00:13:54.317 = The Murder Solved Through TikTok ***00:19:27.188 = The Nebraska Time Affair00:35:44.438 = The Strange Dreams of Mr. Moir ***00:40:33.850 = Did Our Ancestors Live On Mars?00:52:06.275 = The Toy Box Killer's Girlfriend ***01:01:04.695 = The Strange Disappearance of Louis Le Prince01:06:58.396 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakLISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: December, 2022This episode of Weird Darkness moves through posthumous authorship, serial murder, a vanished film pioneer, a TikTok-cracked cold case, alien abduction, Martian origins, and a premonition dug out of the ground.It opens in 1990s New Mexico, where Cindy Hendy helped David Parker Ray abduct, rape, and torture as many as sixty women inside the trailer he called his "Toy Box," a space fitted with ceiling mirrors that forced victims to watch their own suffering. Hendy tracked down targets and stood by while Ray tormented them with electric shocks and medical instruments, until Cynthia Vigil escaped on March 22, 1999, running naked into traffic in Elephant Butte with a dog collar around her neck after stabbing Hendy in the neck with an icepick. Sentenced in 2000 to thirty-six years, Hendy was released on July 15, 2019, because her plea deal predated a law requiring violent offenders to serve eighty-five percent of their terms, and she walks free today.From there the episode crosses to France and the case of Louis Le Prince, born in Metz in 1841 and credited as the forgotten father of motion pictures for building a sixteen-lens camera in 1888. He boarded a train from Dijon to Paris on September 16, 1890, waved off by his brother, and was gone when the train arrived, luggage and all. Thomas Edison spent years asserting sole ownership of cinematography, and Le Prince's son Adolphe, who testified against him, was found shot dead on Fire Island in 1902; a diary entry attributed to Edison and dated September 20, 1890, reportedly records that a man named Eric called from Dijon to say "Prince is no more."Next comes the disappearance of Alissa Turney, a Phoenix teenager last seen on May 17, 2001, after finishing her junior year and arguing with her stepfather, Michael Turney, who claimed she ran away to California. A 2008 search of his home turned up twenty-six homemade explosive devices and a ninety-eight-page manifesto, and he served time on federal bomb charges before his release in 2017. Alissa's younger sister, Sarah Turney, built a TikTok following past one million people around the hashtag campaign for her sister, and in August 2020 Michael Turney was charged with the murder.The episode then turns to a lonely road outside Columbus, Nebraska, on September 5, 1966, where a seventeen-year-old riding his motorcycle to meet his girlfriend's parents saw a completely circular object hovering roughly a hundred feet overhead, ringed with green, red, and yellow lights and emitting a low hum he felt resonate through his body. His engine raged and his wheels spun, but the bike held frozen in place; a five-minute trip took over thirty minutes, and he could never account for the missing time. The same night, radar at Finland Air Force Station in Minnesota tracked an oval craft with the same colored underside, prompting two F-89 jets to scramble from Duluth before it vanished.The Mars segment follows, examining why NASA, SpaceX, and Elon Musk remain fixed on a cold desert planet, and the fringe claim that human life may have originated there billions of years ago before Mars lost its magnetic field and its atmosphere was stripped away by solar wind. The piece leans on the detail that astronauts in space drift toward a 24.9-hour circadian rhythm matching the Martian day, and cites Haim Eshed, former head of Israel's space program, who claimed a secret underground base on Mars where American astronauts and aliens work together, alongside NASA scientist Jim Green's proposal to shield the planet with an artificial magnetic field placed at the Sun-Mars L1 point.Mark Twain surfaces next, seven years after Samuel Clemens died in 1910, when a novel called "The Coming of Jap Herron" appeared in 1917, purportedly dictated by his spirit through a Ouija board to Emily Grant Hutchings and Lola V. Hays. Hutchings, a Hannibal-born writer who had corresponded with Twain in life, had earlier channeled a supposed seventeenth-century spirit named Patience Worth, and psychical researcher James Hyslop tested the Twain claim by asking the ghost to relay the line "Hyslop is a cabbage head," a message that never arrived. Because Harper and Brothers held exclusive rights to Twain's work, his daughter Clara Clemens moved to block publication, and the resulting suit against publisher Mitchell Kennerley ended with every copy pulled from shelves.The episode closes in June 1870 near Boyndie, Scotland, where farm bailiff William Moir dreamed of a bloodied corpse lying on sloping ground near the shore, and weeks later helped carry a drowned asylum inmate over that exact spot, watching blood appear on the dead man's face when the body slipped from its board. The vision returned relentlessly through 1871 until, in January 1872, Moir took a spade to a place called Stakeness and unearthed a human skull and skeleton estimated to be at least fifty years old, in ground where villagers recalled a man named Elder had vanished decades earlier, reportedly murdered in the very room where Moir later slept. The discovery did not free him; he sank into a religious depression and died in October 1873.

Foundations of Amateur Radio It's a curious thing, this hobby of ours, in that the more you want out of it, the more challenging it becomes. For example, you might start your journey with a VHF or UHF handheld radio, sometimes referred to as a Walkie-Talkie or a Handy, and you start listening to the local repeater, or you try to make contact with a friend. Then you discover that it doesn't always work, so you learn about interference, terrain and antenna gain. You start looking for higher elevation or a better antenna and you discover that now you hear more, but you still can't talk to your friends and before long you're building filters and testing other gear and the journey continues unabated. This same incremental experience happens across every aspect of the hobby and it happens to all of us, perhaps unwitting participants on this amateur radio journey. Sometimes this experience leads to becoming discombobulated, discontented, disinterested and ultimately leads to disengagement, which in my opinion, does not need to be the case. Throughout our community we often talk about failure, as-in, a failed contact, a failed activation, a failed antenna or failed design, and on and on it goes. It occurs to me that we're not the only people who have this experience. "But the student will find that experience is the best teacher. The reason why I get along with comparative ease now is because I know from experience the enormous number of things that won't work. For instance, I start on a new invention to-morrow. From the great number of experiments I have made, and the vast amount of information I have stored up, I am saved a great deal of time and trouble in not having to travel over barren ground." If that sounds somewhat familiar, and reminds you of a quote about light-bulbs and failure, you're in good company, since those words were written in 1882 by the very same inventor of the light-bulb, Thomas Edison. In other words, the process of doing something doesn't end in failure, it's an experience, a point of learning, or if you want to be scientific about it, it's another data point. Just because something didn't go as expected, doesn't mean that it failed, just that something unexpected happened. I'm talking about this because we live in an increasingly complex world where our chosen hobby is made up from the very foundation on which we understand everything around us, the electromagnetic spectrum and all that it implies. Our adventures, frustrating as we might find them, are built upon the shoulders of giants who became silent keys long before our parents walked this Earth. Your participation, little by little, increases our global knowledge, experience and understanding and when something unexpected happens, it's time to celebrate, rather than give up in disgust. I've only been playing with radios for a short time, especially when I compare it with my experience in other areas of technology, but I can say, that framing matters. "Failure" is, in my experience, regularly thought of in a negative light and all too often it leads people to stop playing, because who really derives joy from banging your head against a wall? So, next time, when you're about to use that dreaded F-word, consider what might happen if you thought of it as a piece of experience earned instead? I'm Onno VK6FLAB

Your whole world can change in a moment, and the first battle is often internal: fear, regret, and that sinking feeling that you won't recover. We tell a striking story from Thomas Edison's life when a spectacular 1914 fire tore through his West Orange, New Jersey laboratory complex. The damage was massive, the money wasn't there, and yet his response was calm, direct, and future-focused. We sit with the line that reframes failure: “Thank goodness our mistakes are burned up. Now we can start again fresh.” That mindset isn't denial; it's resilience. From there, we get personal about how mistakes cling to us longer than they should, and why God calls us to a steadier way of living when pressure hits. Psalm 112 says those who trust the Lord “will have no fear of bad news,” and we explore what that kind of steadfast heart looks like when the news is about finances, grief, or health. Subscribe to Starting Right with Danny Mac, share this with someone facing hard news, and leave a review so more people can find a daily start that leads to peace.We would love to hear your comments.

Overland Journal podcast host Scott Brady talks with Jason Speck of Mountain State Overland at historic Camp Cheat in West Virginia about his outdoors origins in scouting, preparedness, and the importance of training with gear before it's needed. They compare overlanding in the East versus the West, including narrower trails, frequent downed trees, and incorporating history and multi-sport activities into trips. Speck shares route highlights like Canaan Loop, Spruce Knob–Seneca Rocks, Dolly Sods, the Mid-Atlantic BDR, and the Trans America Trail, emphasizing discovery and responsible travel through micro-groups and Tread Lightly principles. The episode explores Camp Cheat's connection to “The Vagabonds”—Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone, and John Burroughs—who stayed there during a 1918 motor-camping trip. Speck also discusses his Tacoma/Modcap setup, community events like Adventure XFest, and the need for guide standards and safety. WEBSITE | Mountain State Overland |Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeThe Overland Journal Podcast is brought to you this week by:  Nitto Tire, Overland Journal Magazine and Hankook TireNew to Overland Journal and want to grab a subscription!

GONOMAD TRAVEL PODCAST — SHOW NOTESExploring the Quirky Hammond Castle of Gloucester, MassachusettsOn this episode of the GoNOMAD Travel Podcast, contributor Susmita Sengupta takes us to the rugged, wave‑carved coastline of Cape Ann, Massachusetts — home to one of New England's most eccentric landmarks: Hammond Castle.Built between 1926 and 1929 by inventor John Hays Hammond Jr., the castle rises dramatically above the Atlantic, its stone towers and arched windows overlooking the crashing surf. Hammond, known as the Father of Radio Control, held hundreds of patents and transformed his seaside home into both a medieval fantasy and a working laboratory.The drive from Boston to Gloucester is a scenic hour along winding coastal roads, with ocean views that beg for photo stops. Arrive mid‑morning, and head straight to the lookout point — a rocky perch framing the open sea through stone arches.Inside, the castle feels like stepping into another century. Visitors wander beneath Gothic archways, climb narrow towers, and explore rooms filled with Renaissance art and ancient artifacts Hammond collected from Europe.The Great Hall is the showstopper — a cathedral‑like space with a massive fireplace, a stained‑glass window, and Hammond's own pipe organ. From there, the tour leads to the glass‑roofed courtyard, lush with tropical plants and a pool dyed bright green to disguise its nine‑foot depth. Inspired by the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, this space blends art, science, and whimsy.The library holds over two thousand books and features the famous Whisper Ceiling, an acoustic marvel that amplifies a whisper at its center while keeping it inaudible elsewhere. Hammond's mischievous streak appears in the Room Without Doors, where seamless wallpaper hides the entrance so well that guests often found themselves trapped until they called for help.In the Inventions Room, exhibits showcase Hammond's pioneering work in radio control, FM broadcasting, and early sound amplification — including his World War I radio‑guided torpedo. His friendships with Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell are chronicled here, revealing the scientific network that shaped his career.After touring the castle, Susmita suggests extending your day trip to nearby Manchester‑by‑the‑Sea, just fifteen minutes away. Relax at Masconomo Park overlooking the harbor, or visit Singing Beach, where the sand hums beneath your feet.End your day at Lobsta Land, a Gloucester favorite for more than thirty years. Enjoy fresh seafood while watching herons and egrets glide across the salt marshes — just remember, they're closed on Mondays.Hammond Castle is more than a museum; it's a glimpse into the mind of a man who fused invention with imagination. Combining its history with the natural beauty of Cape Ann makes for a perfect New England adventure.CALLS TO ACTIONListen to more episodes of the GoNOMAD Travel Podcast: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gonomad-travel-podcast/id1525960132 (podcasts.apple.com in Bing) Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4xXGq5yRvCNrI6VsgGAaZp (open.spotify.com in Bing)Read more travel stories on GoNOMAD: https://www.gonomad.comFollow GoNOMAD on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gonomadtravel (instagram.com in Bing)Cape Ann, MASusmita Sengupta, an architect by background, from New York City, loves to travel with her family.

Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie G. Bunch III has spent a lifetime thinking about how history gets told. Before becoming the head of the Smithsonian, he was a curator, someone whose job is deciding which stories, people, and objects help us make sense of ourselves. So as America approaches its 250th birthday, Lizzie wanted to know: if you had to tell the story of the United States through just a handful of things, where would you begin?In this special episode, Secretary Bunch puts his curator hat back on to lead Lizzie through American Aspirations, a new exhibition he co-curated. Starting with the desk on which the Declaration of Independence was drafted, they get up close with some of the nation's most treasured objects: Abraham Lincoln campaign swag, Amelia Earhart's flight suit, Thomas Edison's light bulb, and even a miniature Statue of Liberty (which is still pretty big!). What can these objects reveal about a nation still striving to become its best self?Guest: Lonnie G. Bunch III, Secretary of the Smithsonian InstitutionThe American Aspirations exhibition at the Smithsonian Castle was co-curated by Smithsonian Secretary Bunch — alongside Abeer Saha, curator at the National Museum of American History, and Harry Rubenstein, curator emeritus at the National Museum of American History.American Aspirations received support from Jacqueline B. Mars and the Smithsonian's Our Shared Future: 250, a Smithsonian-wide initiative commemorating the nation's 250th. Major support for Our Shared Future: 250 has been provided by Lilly Endowment Inc. Additional contributions have been made by Target and the Gates Foundation.To watch a video version of this podcast find us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/smithsonian

In this episode, I explore why failure is not something to hide, but something to study, share, and even celebrate. Drawing inspiration from the “Flops” exhibition at the Musée des Arts et Métiers, I look at how psychology, religion, science, and art all reveal the same truth: my mistakes are often the very things that shape my character, deepen my relationships, and point me toward a more meaningful life.Why failed products like BIC for Her and New Coke can teach us about resilienceThe psychology of growth mindset, self-compassion, and learning from mistakesHow traditions like Kintsugi and teshuvah honor repair over perfectionStories of famous failures from Thomas Edison to J.K.

Signs of Life - The Gathering With Bob Ginsberg, Marta Kane and Tom and Melissa Gould Messages Beyond the Veil: The Gathering on Reincarnation, Spirit Love, Angels, and Life After Death This episode of Signs of Life radio, hosted by the Forever Family Foundation, explores the intersection of scientific inquiry and spiritual experience. The discussion features Bob Ginsberg, Tom and Melissa Gould, and Marta Kristen as they address listener questions regarding the scientific acceptance of the afterlife, the nature of life reviews, and the validity of various forms of mediumship. Bob Ginsberg Opens Signs of Life: The Gathering In this episode of Signs of Life: The Gathering, host Bob Ginsberg is joined by Marta Kane, Tom Gould, and Melissa Gould for a listener-question program centered on survival of consciousness. Bob opens with announcements from Forever Family Foundation, including the upcoming July grief retreat, a mediumship raffle, and a California medium and psychic development conference. The group then turns to audience questions about reincarnation, spirit communication, afterlife relationships, soul memories, angels, suicide, and what proof of the afterlife might mean for humanity. Reincarnation Back Into the Same Family The first major question asks whether a soul can reincarnate back to the same mother. Bob says researcher Jim Matlock believes this is possible and that children who die very young, or even before birth, often reincarnate back into the same family and sometimes to the same mother. The group discusses how reincarnation cases are investigated through memories, family recognition, physical markings, and records. They also recall a child at a previous grief retreat who said he had been here before and did not want to stay because people had not learned much since his last life. Love and Relationships After Death Another listener asks whether a loved one who has crossed over still maintains the earthly relationship they had with a partner or family member. The group agrees that love continues after death and that a lack of direct “I love you” messages in a reading should not be taken as evidence that the relationship is gone. Bob explains that mediums often focus first on evidence of identity, while Tom adds that the very effort of a spirit coming through in a reading can itself be seen as a message of love. Being Born Aware and Early Memories Bob introduces the idea of people who are born aware, meaning they retain memories from birth, pre-birth, or the other side. The hosts discuss whether early-life impressions remain in the body or subconscious even when people do not consciously remember them. Marta shares that she remembers certain early experiences from her time in an orphanage, including both frightening and joyful moments. The group reflects on how strong memories, especially emotional ones, can stay with people and shape them even when ordinary details fade. Soul Readings, Past Lives, and Angelic Encounters The group answers a question about soul readings, explaining that these are usually described as explorations of a person's inner essence, soul blueprint, emotional patterns, or spiritual alignment. Bob notes that this kind of work is harder to evaluate evidentially than mediumship. Marta then raises the question of whether angels can appear as people. The hosts share stories of mysterious helpers who appear during danger or crisis and then disappear, including roadside helpers, rescue stories, and a mountain encounter that may have been a visitation from a deceased mother. Personality, Humor, and Communication in Spirit A listener asks whether people retain personalities in the afterlife and whether personalities ever clash. The hosts agree that personality appears to continue, especially because mediums often receive humor, mannerisms, and familiar expressions as evidence. Marta recalls a reading in which Tom's father came through with the kind of self-description and humor that matched him. At the same time, the group suggests that ego-driven conflict may fade because communication on the other side is often understood as telepathic, loving, and less burdened by human emotional distortions. Suicide, Compassion, and the Afterlife One of the most sensitive questions concerns whether someone who dies by suicide still has hope for the afterlife. Bob strongly reassures the listener that the answer is yes. He says suicide is often connected to emotional pain, depression, or illness, and he questions why mental illness should be treated differently from physical illness. Marta adds that the idea of punishing someone after death for ending their life in despair does not make sense to her, especially if one believes in divine love and forgiveness. The group frames the afterlife as compassionate, loving, and free from the harsh judgment some religious teachings may imply. Technology, Spirit Contact, and Future Proof The hosts also discuss whether future technology may make communication with the next world easier. They mention that Thomas Edison reportedly worked on the idea of a device to communicate with spirit and speculate that future discoveries about consciousness, information, communication, and perhaps artificial intelligence could help open new paths. Bob then poses a larger question: what would happen if spirit offered humanity irrefutable proof of survival after death? The group wonders whether people would live more recklessly, become more compassionate, lose fear of death, or simply appreciate life more deeply. Living With the Knowledge That Life Continues The episode closes with reflection on how belief in survival of consciousness changes the way people live. Tom says the work of Forever Family Foundation has given him confidence that consciousness continues, and that this has reduced fear, including during surgery. The group agrees that knowing life continues should not lead people to hasten death, but to value the present life more fully. They close with Claude Swanson's global peace prayer, encouraging love, forgiveness, kindness, care for the earth, and the reminder that loved ones are only a heartbeat away.

When was the last time you gave yourself permission to imagine something bigger? In this Christy's Corner episode of Small Business Success Talk, Christy shares an unexpected lesson sparked by a morning at Walt Disney World—and a little girl experiencing pure wonder on the Little Mermaid attraction. That moment led to a much bigger question: What happens when entrepreneurs stop using their imagination? Somewhere between deadlines, payroll, marketing plans, and putting out daily fires, many business owners lose the very thing that started their journey in the first place: the ability to dream, create, and imagine what could be. From Walt Disney's vision to Thomas Edison's inventions, every innovation that has shaped our world began as an idea in someone's imagination. The same is true for your business. In this episode, Christy explores:• Why imagination is essential for business growth• How creativity impacts confidence and belief• The connection between innovation and childlike wonder• Why entrepreneurs need time to play, think, and dream• How guided reflection can unlock new possibilities• The role imagination plays in leadership, invention, and success If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or trapped in the day-to-day demands of running a business, this episode is an invitation to step back, think differently, and reconnect with the ideas that once inspired you. Because every breakthrough starts as imagination. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Negativ publicitet. Svenskt Medium nyligen uthängd i lokalpress. Vi diskuterar hur medierna rapporterar om oss som har kontakt med Andevärlden. Vivi och Camilla delar med sig av egna erfarenheter.Soulphone. När är en visuell och auditiv kontakt med andra sidan verklighet? Mycket gränsöverskridande och innovativ forskning på teknologisk kontakt med andra sidan rör sig framåt. Thomas Edison försökte utveckla en "spirit finder" en andetelefon. Samma sak med Graham Bell, Nikola Tesla och Guglielmo Marconi. En forskning som tagits över av Gary E Schwartz och hans professionella team The Soul Phone Foundation. De menar sig stå i förbindelse med dessa avlidna vetenskapsmän, vars kända uppfinningar varit av kolossal betydelse. Vad få vet är att de även försökte utveckla en teknisk kontakt med andra sidan. Om vi överlever döden, kommer då vårt individuella jag finnas kvar? Med minnen, upplevelser, personlighet och karaktär? Detta är en av flera viktiga frågor som SoulPhone projektet undersökt sedan 1998 fram till nu.

Thomas Edison is one of the most celebrated inventors in American history, having helped transform a world lit by candles and gas lamps into one powered by electricity. Over his lifetime he was granted more than a thousand patents, and pioneered the very idea of organized innovation at his ground-breaking research and development laboratories. But the story of how he did it is complicated. So, to help us understand Edison's remarkable achievements, Lindsay is joined by Dr. Paul Israel, Director and General Editor of the Thomas A. Edison Papers at Rutgers University. He's the author of Edison: A Life of Invention.

By 1888, the race to power America's cities had become a battle between the rival visions of Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla. But when the powerful industrialist George Westinghouse threw his weight behind Tesla and his AC system, what had been a personal falling out became something far larger – a war over the future of electricity itself. Their bitter fight spilled into courtrooms, ignited a national debate about capital punishment, and culminated in a fierce competition for the contract to illuminate the most ambitious event of the decade: the Chicago World's Fair.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send us Fan MailMy guest today is Aimie K. Runyan, author of Mademoiselle Eiffel, listed in the Visual Arts category on Art In Fiction.View the video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/_JcFmRQ4PcQWhy Aimie chose to write about Claire Eiffel rather than her more famous father, and the surprising role Claire played in running Gustave's household, social life, and business from the age of 14.The wax figure of Claire at the top of the Eiffel Tower, alongside Gustave and Thomas Edison, and the historical meeting it commemorates.How clothing functions as armor and identity in the novel, particularly Claire's corset as a symbol of constraint reframed as protection in a world not built for ambitious women.The invisible female labor at the heart of the story, and what Claire sacrificed, including her art and her choice of husband, to secure her place at her father's side.The opposition to the Eiffel Tower from artists, architects, and Gustave's own friend Garnier, and what the contrast between the Opéra Garnier and the tower reveals about two competing visions of modernity.Aimie's research trips to Paris and the Musée d'Orsay archives, where the Eiffel family correspondence, party menus, and letters from admirers have been preserved since 1981.What Aimie gained by returning to the archives after the story was already written.The Panama Canal scandal, Gustave's complicated legacy, and why writing through Claire's adoring lens required Aimie to be deliberately even-handed with a man who was "no more of a villain than your average rich man used to getting his own way."The oldest daughter narrative and why Claire's story resonates today, including a frank conversation about the undervaluing of women's labor and the difference between "emotional labor" and plain old mental load.Aimie's advice to writers on research: travel if you can, use Google Earth if you can't, never hesitate to contact museum curators, and know that one good research trip can fuel three books.Reading from the scene in Portugal where 14-year-old Claire organizes a workers' dinner and earns her first public acknowledgment from her father.Read more about Aimie K.

“If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?”. If you're obsessed with having a tidy work environment, you may want to consider that that quote comes from none other than Albert Einstein, one of the most renowned geniuses in human history. Given that Mark Twain, Thomas Edison, and even Steve Jobs were also known for working in messy environments, you might be asking yourself whether it's time to start letting your own desk get a little more cluttered. Have there been any studies on whether a messy or tidy desk is best? Why are some people messier than others to start with? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

In the spring of 1884, a little-known Serbian immigrant named Nikola Tesla arrived in America with little more than a letter of introduction to the most famous inventor in the world – Thomas Edison. Tesla went to work for Edison, impressing his new employer with his intelligence and work ethic. But the two men were too different, too stubborn, and too convinced of their own vision to coexist for long. Tesla would break away, determined to prove that his own approach to electricity – a system run on alternating current – was superior to everything Edison had built.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the 1870s, the age of artificial light was still in its infancy. Gas lamps cast a dim glow on city streets, and early arc lights were just beginning to appear in a handful of public spaces. But reliable, practical light for homes and businesses remained out of reach for most people. Then, in 1878, America's most famous inventor, Thomas Edison, witnessed a demonstration of a novel electric generator and had a spark of inspiration. Edison was convinced that he would be the one to harness electricity to illuminate the world. He set his sights on an audacious goal: not just to improve the light bulb, but to build a system capable of lighting an entire city. It was a vision that would demand years of relentless experimentation and push him to the brink of failure. And just as his system flickered to life, a new rival would emerge — one with a radically different vision of electricity.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Celebrate Creativity and the second part of Voice Control on the Macintosh: Why It Matters, and What It Feels Like to Learn It.I hope you realize by now that this podcast has been talking about the importance of voice control and some of the human elements involved in mastering the skills. So rest assured that in a few days, I will deal into the mechanics of voice control - in other words HOW use it. My philosophy of education it's not to try to dazzle you with information that might be hard to remember, but to carefully explain a concept. And then use tried and true educational concepts by going back and explaining that concept over and over in different ways - ways that help make that concept your own. In future episodes, I intend to talk about specific voice control commands, and even have imaginary visits from historical figures in the fields of computing and literature - individuals such as William Shakespeare, John Milton, Thomas Edison, Leonardo da Vinci, and the writer of the first computer program - Ada Lovelace.  But before you learn the actual information, I feel that you need to get the attitude towards learning and a different way of working down first. And that is the purpose of the previous and the following few episodes.Now let me come back to something I said earlier in a broader way: adaptation is not defeat.I think many people, when they first I'll say that I'd like for you to rest assured that in a few days I'm gonna deal with the mechanics of using voice control in other words and that certainly matters  find themselves needing a different way of working, feel that they are somehow moving backward. They may feel that because something old has become painful or difficult, they are losing ground. But another way to see it is that they are being asked to develop a new form of competence.And developing a new form of competence is not failure. It is growth.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Combien de temps on reste en vie après la guillotine ? Alors ça, je l'ai déjà dit dans un autre épisode, mais franchement je pensais pas autant déclencher les passions ! Ça me donne des envies de vidéos “spéciales morts gores”, mais en attendant, on va déjà voir une peine de mort particulièrement célèbre et polémique : la chaise électrique ! Pourquoi la chaise ? Parce qu'à une époque, ce mode d'exécution avait un peu le même argument que la guillotine : le but, ce serait de procurer un vrai “meurtre civique civilisé”, une mort indolore, quasi instantanée, vraiment la mort cool, la mort sympa… On fait le point !Bonne écoute !

It's Friday. My wife's been out of town for a whole week. I spent the quiet time digging into famous quotes — the kind you've heard a thousand times but never sat with. Woody Allen. Yogi Berra. Will Rogers. Thomas Edison. The old voices still hit if you sit with them for a minute. Today, I ran seven of their best lines through Scott Logic. You'll leave with a simple way to show up, move when you're stuck, and stop rehearsing the life you're supposed to be living. Press play. Bring coffee. Featured Story My wife has scales everywhere. Kitchen scales. Bathroom scale. She weighs her food like a chemist measuring compounds. Twice a week, she hands me a perfectly measured bowl of ice cream. Four ounces, maybe five. It's good stuff. This week she's out of town. I found the half-gallon in the freezer and went to work. Night one. Night two. Night three. Somewhere around night three, I gave myself too much and realized exactly why she measures. Now I have a problem. Do I eat the rest and pretend it was never there? Do I buy a replacement and slide it onto the shelf? I'll tell you what I'm going to do. Important Points Your competition is mostly imaginary. Most never started or already quit, so showing up 70% puts you ahead of the pack. A wrong turn can always be fixed. Standing frozen at the intersection is where life actually runs you over for good. Figure out what you do naturally, without anyone pushing you, and you'll find the thing you should be doing for real. Memorable Quotes The competition is mostly imaginary. Half never started, the other half quit. Show up and the math takes care of itself. A wrong turn, you can fix. Standing at the intersection, you get honked at and hit by a truck. Life runs you over. Failure is just data. If you pay attention and collect enough of it, you accidentally become an expert in the room. Scott's Three-Step Approach Show up and pick a direction. Most of your competition never started or already quit, so being there puts you ahead. Keep moving when you stumble. Each mistake is just data that stacks until you accidentally become an expert in the room. Handle the unfinished business tonight. Don't let it fester until morning, or it will wear you out by tomorrow.

Step inside fire protection history as I'm joined by Johnson Controls Senior Engineering Director Manny Silva for a walkthrough of the Frederick Grinnell Museum in Cranston, Rhode Island. We dive into how Frederick Grinnell improved upon Henry S. Parmalee's original practical sprinkler design—ultimately creating the more sensitive, fully automatic sprinkler in 1881. Manny traces the evolution of sprinkler technology and Johnson Controls' R&D contributions from the late 1800s to today—plus, you'll learn how none other than Thomas Edison has an unexpected connection to Frederick Grinnell.

You're one decision away. Not from the result. From becoming the person who earns the right to pursue it.In episode 110 of The Authentic Dentist Podcast, Dr. Allison House and Shawn Zajas unpack the identity shift that precedes every real transformation in dentistry and in life. They draw from Rocky IV, Olympic weightlifting, youth rock climbing, and the Israelites wandering outside the promised land to expose why so many skilled practitioners stay stuck admiring other people's authentic dental practices instead of building their own.This is not motivational fluff. Allison and Shawn dismantle the fantasy that belief alone creates change. They name the real work: rewriting the evidence of past failures, refusing to give that evidence power over a new identity, then aligning every daily choice around who you've decided to become.If you're a dentist navigating burnout, imposter syndrome, a practice that no longer fits, or the slow drift of being a spectator of your own career, this episode is a direct challenge.

Is your homeschool stuck in the explain-assign-check cycle? You're drowning in curriculum choices, trying to do all the activities, worried your kids are just going through the motions. The problem isn't that you need more homeschool tools—you need better purpose. This episode reveals the 2 simple homeschooling tools that stop the overwhelm and raise your kids to be thinkers, not followers.These aren't random homeschool tools that add to your pile of things to do. They're the foundational homeschooling tools that shape character, build critical thinking, and make learning engaging, effective, and enjoyable for the whole family.✅Why the explain-assign-check cycle doesn't raise thinkers (and what to do instead)✅The 2 homeschool tools you can use today in any subject at any age level✅How one homeschooling tool builds vocabulary, shapes worldview, and creates shared family experiences✅Why the second tool slows learning down so kids actually understand and own it✅How these homeschool tools give you confidence and stop the frantic forever feelingReady to simplify your homeschool with the right homeschooling tools? Grab the free Read Aloud Magic eBook and Notebooking Pages to start raising thinkers this week!Resources for You: Read Aloud Magic eBook (free) Notebooking Pages (free)Raising Leaders Not Followers VIP WaitlistShow Notes:Two Simple Homeschool Tools That Actually Teach Your Kids to ThinkDoes your homeschool feel like one long cycle of explain, assign, check, repeat — wash, rinse, repeat? If that's all you're doing is explaining, assigning, and checking, you're not raising your kids to be thinkers. You're just expecting them to regurgitate a lot of information.Most homeschoolers are drowning in all the what to teach. They're not thinking enough about how kids actually learn. Today we're going to talk about two tools you can use this week — easy tools — so your kids are actually learning.You Don't Need More Stuff. You Need a Better Purpose.I don't know where you are right now in this part of the year, but some of you are finishing up your school year. A lot of you are already planning what curriculum to buy next. You're overwhelmed. There are so many choices. You're trying to be faithful to your kids and to homeschooling, but you're scattered. You want your kids to love Jesus, to think well, and to live life with confidence. But how do you do that in the midst of cooking three meals a day and chauffeuring your kids everywhere?You don't need random homeschool stuff. You don't need a bigger pile. You just need a better purpose.Here's what we do — and I say this on a regular basis. We leave the school but then we copy the school at home. We are tied to checklists. We are in a productivity mindset. We've got to go, go, go, check that off. Memorizing facts but not thinking. And I know you want your kids to be able to think for themselves, evaluate, and make wise decisions. But they don't become wise thinkers just by consuming a lot of information.Leaders are shaped by the right tools, habits, questions, and reflection. So let's talk about those tools.Tool #1: Read Aloud and QuestionsOne of my favorites. It is so simple. You can do it today. And it is reading aloud as a family.Reading aloud strengthens your relationships because it happens together. It's like taking a trip together just going through a book. Quality fiction helps your kids learn empathy, compassion, and how to evaluate different circumstances — to see if this is the right way to live or not. They can discern between good and evil.It builds vocabulary. It exposes your kids to big ideas. It's going to help shape their worldview. And it creates shared reference points for conversation.I remember when we were reading the Little Bridges series. Steve was reading it at night for our kids, and we were somewhere in the van and they started talking about that grumpy old grandpa. We're so glad we don't have a grandpa like that. And we had a great discussion just driving down the road. That meant they had entered into the story and were participating in it on an emotional level.When you're finished reading — and I do not stop in the middle of reading aloud and analyze all the parts — just let it soak over everyone and ask, what stood out to you? What do you remember most about this part of the story? And just see what they say. You might suddenly realize they're learning things you didn't even know they had paid attention to.You don't need a lecture. You don't need a guidebook. You don't need a perfect discussion plan. You don't even need a degree in English. You just need a heart for your kids and for God — and then ask questions. Questions are such an easy way to learn. When you ask questions, learning becomes alive.This is how homeschooling feels less like school at home and more like formation — discipleship, life skills.I created a Read Aloud Magic bundle that has an e-book with all sorts of things about how to read aloud and a list of our family's favorite read aloud books. It's free in the show notes at howtohomeschoolmychild.com/readaloudmagic.Tool #2: NotebookingA lot of you are familiar with Charlotte Mason, but you don't really think notebooking is important so you don't do it. And yet it is one of the ways you can stop the overwhelm and stop the stress. I have moms that have said — when we started using this tool, things got better in our homeschool.So what is notebooking? It gives your kids the freedom to express their understanding and be creative. It could be a written notebook. They may draw pictures. But it allows your kids ownership and responsibility for their own education. I like to say they take leadership in their own education.That's what I wanted. I didn't want my kids to just do whatever I told them to do. I wanted it to be what they were learning — when we read a book or when we studied a topic.Notebooking is not busy work like worksheets and textbooks. Notebooking is thinking on paper. It helps your kids process, reflect, and connect ideas.Thomas Edison didn't sit around memorizing facts and hoping an invention would happen. He kept notebooks full of sketches, ideas, and experiments. His notebook was not just a record — it was part of his thinking process. He didn't separate thinking from writing. And that is exactly why I think notebooking matters so much in your homeschool.It slows the learning down. Are you rushing your kids just to finish that checklist? Notebooking slows the learning down so your child can really understand it, learn it, and own it for themselves. It becomes a part of them.Worksheets just check recall. Notebooking builds ownership and understanding. It takes the pressure off getting the right answer and just getting through it.When Hunter was about seven, he would tell me what he learned and I would type it out and then he could copy it into his notebook — because he may not have been ready to get all the thoughts on paper yet. But as they get older, they should be able to do this on their own.I had one mom tell me — homeschooling wasn't working out as I envisioned. I felt like a slave to the curriculum. After six years of schooling that way, she discovered notebooking. It cut the busy work from their day and helped her take the reins of their homeschool with confidence.Don't you want that confidence?What to Do This WeekPick a book and read it out loud, then ask one question — what stood out to you? That's it.For notebooking, grab the free notebooking pages linked in the show notes. Then find one worksheet you were going to use — and get rid of it. Replace it with a notebooking page. Or better yet — let your children pick a topic from the notebooking pages. They are taking ownership and leadership of their own education. They are growing into a leader and not a follower that just does what someone tells them to do.For younger kids, they may not be able to write sentences yet — but they can draw pictures.

  I hate the term "hallucinations" for when AIs say false things. It's perfectly calculated to mislead the reader - to make them think AIs are crazy, or maybe just have incomprehensible failure modes. AIs say false things for the same reason you do. At least, I did. In school, I would take multiple choice tests. When I didn't know the answer to a question, I would guess. Schoolchild urban legend said that "C" was the best bet, so I would fill in bubble C. It was fine. Probably got a couple extra points that way, maybe raised my GPA by 0.1 over the counterfactual. Some kids never guessed. They thought it was dishonest. I had trouble understanding them, but when I think back on it, I had limits too. I would guess on multiple choice questions, but never the short answer section. "Who invented the cotton gin?" For any "who invented" question in US History, there's a 10% chance it's Thomas Edison. Still, I never put down his name. "Who negotiated the purchase of southern Arizona from Mexico?" The most common name in the United States has long been "John Smith", applying to 1/10,000 individuals. An 0.01% chance of getting a question right is better than zero, right? If I'd guessed "John Smith" for every short answer question I didn't know, I might have gotten ~1 extra point in my school career, with no downside. You can go further. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/shameless-guesses-not-hallucinations

This was a wild surprise of a podcast. I knew I'd learn more about AI, but I was not prepared for the additional life lessons. This is one of those podcasts where I just sat in as a student instead of an interviewer, and I was not disappointed.   About Daniel… He chose a computer over a car as a teenager. He broke his first computer twice and fixed it Thomas Edison style by figuring it out on his own. Noem AI builds concierge AI agents for any type of industry and any size. You gotta listen to the podcast to hear some of the amazing examples.   Some highlights… Tell your AI (ChatGPT, Claude, whatever), not to be your friend. It's not helping you by blowing smoke up your arse about how great you are. If you're stuck in life, what's the lesson you're refusing to learn? Problems aren't a bug or a glitch. They're a feature to be worked on. AI is unlocking barriers in your life to do better things. Quit playing in the shallows. Engage in more deep thought. AI prompts are just exposing existing bad communication skills. Do you talk to your employees this way and expect them to know what you want?  If you don't get what you want from AI, ask it “What wasn't clear?”   Find Daniel Hindi and Noem AI at: https://noem.ai/  https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielhindi/    Things mentioned in the show: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson- https://amzn.to/4tdd99Y  Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss https://amzn.to/48foZbt  Obviously Awesome by April Dunford https://amzn.to/4dk8mit    --- Click here to change your life- http://eepurl.com/gy5T3T   Hit me up for a one-on-one brainstorming session- https://militaryimagesproject.com/products/brainstorming-session-1-hour    Check out my Linktree for different ways to rock your world! https://linktr.ee/ruggeddad    Check out the sweet Hyper X mic I'm using. https://amzn.to/41AF4px    Check out my best-selling books: Rapid Skill Development 101- https://amzn.to/3J0oDJ0 Streams of Income with Ryan Reger- https://amzn.to/3SDhDHg Strangest Secret Challenge- https://amzn.to/3xiJmVO This page contains affiliate links.

I've got a story about an artist that I've been obsessed with for years. In this episode, Patricia Hoerth Batchelder talks about her new biography of Evelyn Beatrice Longman, The Woman Who Sculpted Golden Boy, Thomas Edison, and Other Monuments. Poor, motherless at five, and uneducated after elementary school, Longman made the highly ambitious claim at nineteen that she could create monumental sculpture. The book tells the story of how she created beauty, moved into upper class society, and succeeded in a field of art that was overwhelmingly dominated by men. Ms. Batchelder has worked for The Washington Star and written for The Tulsa Tribune before co-writing her father's memoir. She is married to Nathaniel Horton Batchelder III, the grandson of sculptor Evelyn Beatrice Longman Batchelder. Look for Evelyn Beatrice Longman, The Woman Who Sculpted Golden Boy, Thomas Edison, and Other Monuments by Patricia Batchelder and published in 2025 on Amazon or at your favorite bookstore. It's also available at the publisher's website, Bloomsbury.com. There are two places I'd encourage you to visit when the weather warms up. The first is the Spanish-American War Memorial in Hartford's Bushnell Park. It's on the south side on Elm Street-if you go at lunch time, there might be food trucks. The second is Chesterwood, sculptor Daniel Chester French's summer estate in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. It's only a smidge over the Connecticut border in the Berkshires and is run as a museum property by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

En este episodio, nos adentramos en la psicología de los depredadores que cruzaron la línea. Exploramos las tragedias de Tilikum en SeaWorld, la impactante cacería selectiva de la tigresa Tatiana en el Zoo de San Francisco y la oscura historia de la ejecución de la elefanta Topsy (y la verdad sobre la participación de Thomas Edison). Hablamos de etología, trauma animal, y el error humano de tratar a bestias salvajes como mascotas. Además, analizamos el caso histórico del Leopardo de Panar, responsable de 400 víctimas. ¿Son estos animales "asesinos" o simplemente el espejo de nuestra propia negligencia?

Over the course of a century, the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan has grown to house over 26 million artifacts of innovative achievements. However, one quiet piece – prized by Ford above all others – curiously stands out among the collection: a seemingly empty sealed test tube. In this episode, we uncover this relic's story and how it preserves an enduring friendship within the country's technological history.  We always want to hear from you!

Widely remembered as the ultimate American inventor, Edison's greatest talent may have been for self-promotion. In this episode, historian Iwan Morus speaks to Elinor Evans about how Edison built a brand around invention, clashed with rivals including Nikola Tesla, and exploited the press to secure his legacy – even when the science involved wasn't all his own. ----- GO BEYOND THE PODCAST To find out more about the ‘current war' between Edison, Tesla and Westinghouse, head to: https://bit.ly/4q3xUTB.

The first automobile didn't come from Henry Ford.There were only two cars in Ohio — and they still managed to crash into each other.Cadillac once tried putting a toilet inside the car.And Henry Ford? He pulled over to eat weeds on the side of the road.In this episode of Stupiracy — presented by Carstar — we dig into the strange, awkward, and often ridiculous early days of the automotive industry. Before Bluetooth. Before seatbelts. Before anyone really knew what they were doing.From Carl Benz's original motor wagon to America's bizarre “Horsey Horseless,” from the first recorded car crash to Henry Ford's obsession with roadside greens and preserving Thomas Edison's final breath in a vial, this episode explores the messy trial-and-error era that built the modern automobile. Along the way, we revisit failed inventions like in-car toilets, fifth-wheel parallel parking experiments, and dashboard record players — proof that innovation doesn't always go smoothly.Turns out, before cars made sense… they got very weird.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!In Galion, Ohio, the Gill House stands as a striking example of Victorian architecture and social prominence. Built by Bloomer Gill as a grand family residence, the home once hosted lavish gatherings and welcomed notable visitors, including Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Andrew Firestone. But the elegance that once defined the house has long since given way to something far less celebratory.Today, visitors and investigators report a wide range of unexplained activity throughout the home. Children's laughter has been heard coming from the attic, shadow figures have been seen moving through hallways, and tapping sounds echo through otherwise quiet rooms. The basement, however, is said to be the most unsettling area of all—where disembodied voices, screams, and encounters with a figure known as “Johnny Cake” have been reported.Brenda Treisch, Jane Baker, and Mary Butterfield explore the history and hauntings of the Gill House. From lingering former residents—like Old Mrs. Talbott—to the unexplained activity that continues today, this episode takes a closer look at what may still be moving through one of Galion's most famous homes.#TheGraveTalks #GillHouse #HauntedOhio #VictorianHauntings #ParanormalPodcast #HistoricHauntings #GhostStories #HauntedHouses #GalionOhioLove real ghost stories?
