Dalai Lama

What if you became the leader of your people when you were just 15 years old? That’s what happened to Lhamo Thondup, better known as the Dalai Lama. In 1950 he became the political leader of Tibet, now a part of China. But the Dalai Lama is more than just the head of his government. Promoting peace, compassion, and tolerance, he is also the spiritual leader of millions of people.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama

His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, was born on July 6, 1935 to a peasant family in the small village of Taktser in north-eastern Tibet and got recognition at the age of two as the reincarnation of His predecessor, the Thirteenth Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lamas are the manifestations of the Buddha of Compassion, who chose to take rebirth to serve humanity. Dalai Lama means Ocean of Wisdom; Tibetans normally refer to His Holiness as Yizhin Norbu, the Wish-Fulfilling Gem, or simply Kundun, the Presence.

Thomas Edison and his first light bulb

 

 

Thomas Edison was born in 1847 in Milan, Ohio, and like Ben Franklin, was both a scientist and an inventor. In fact, Edison patented 1,093 inventions in his lifetime including the kinetoscope, the phonograph, and his most famous – the incandescent lightbulb. These inventions earned him the nickname “The Wizard of Menlo Park.”

The Menlo Laboratory in Newark, New Jersey, was to become the first research and development lab in the world. Edison called this lab his “invention factory.”

In 1879, after 1,200 experiments, Edison made a lightbulb using carbonized filaments from cotton that burned for two days. With the help of an associate, Lewis Howard Latimer, who was responsible for inventing the process for manufacturing the carbon filament, the light bulb was one of Edison’s greatest achievements and it changed the world. The first light bulbs were installed in a steamship and later in a New York factory.

Even before the invention of the electric light bulb, Edison partnered with J.P. Morgan and the Vanderbilts to form the Edison Electric Light Company in 1876, known today as General Electric.

By the time Edison died in October, 1931, entire cities were lit up by electricity and as a tribute to this American genius, all of America dimmed their lights for one minute in his honour.
