Reginald Fessenden transmits the first radio program, a poetry reading, a violin solo, and a speech, from Brant Rock, Massachusetts. By 1899 he was able to send radiotelegraph messages between Pittsburgh and Allegheny City (now an area of Pittsburgh), using a receiver of his own design.
Take a look at Earl Bakken's workshop.
"The Halloween 1957 power outage, caused by an explosion at the Black Dog power plant just south of Minneapolis, lasted for three hours and took the life of a young patient who was on an AC-powered pacemaker, said Dr. Robert Kowal, vice president of Medtronic’s cardiac pacing therapies.
"The pediatric patient’s surgeon, the now-famed Dr. C. Walton Lillehei, turned to Medtronic founder Earl Bakken for help…"

Daily Inspiration: "Be the person that sees the opportunities that others cannot see!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
It's 1982.
And instead of naming a "Person of the Year," Time Magazine names "The Machine of the Year." It's a nod to the potentially revolutionary impact that personal computer technology might have on our future.
And it was right about that time that I committed myself fully to taking part, determined to build a career in this fascinating new world of technology. Within a year, I was subsumed into the online world, discovering via a modem what happens when global connectivity changes forever. I knew something big was happening, and wanted to be a part of it.
I could see something that others would not yet see for a decade or more.
Do you find yourself in that situation? Seeing trends that others can't see, a future to chase that others dare not chase, a new reality that has yet to move beyond the inconceivable for most other people?
Seeing unique opportunities for tomorrow means becoming a futurist for yourself, your purveyor of a different tomorrow, a unique individual who has a lens that distorts today's reality into something different the next day. It means doubling down on your belief in the opportunities that might unfold tomorrow, rather than chasing those that might exist only within today's limited reality.
Study any great invention, and you discover the people who see things differently - and who were dismissed at the time for the errors in their vision.

"Das sehr interessante wissenschaftliche Thema von Forschung, Unileben, Intrigen, Männerwelt, Diebstahl von Ergebnissen, Wettlauf um den Nobelpreis, etc. wiegt in diesem Fall die teilweise romantische Umsetzung mehr als auf."

So… won our dispute with HMRC over R&D tax credits. A year of worry for nothing. It must have cost them more to dispute our claim than the claim was worth.
Other developers & inventors have been caught in this campaign by HMRC.
Any R&D is huge investment of time & often an individuals personal money.
It should be encouraged by government. Not used as a clumsy way to claw back tax to fill a hole they created paying Baroness Mone or whatever.

TIL that a woman named Mary Anderson invented the windshield wiper, patenting it in 1903.
"So, why are we giving #Gutenberg all the credit for inventing #printing? Because Gutenberg served the same role for printing as James Watt did for the steam engine. Neither of the men were the original #inventors of the concept, but they made improvements so radical that they made the technology transformational."

A short film I made ages ago about a forgotten genius. Amazing just how many things he had a hand in.
Enjoy!
