Tesla Memorial Society of New York HOW TO CHEAT AT EVERYTHING Over lunch with Simon Lovell, a fascinating former card shark, Allison Schrager learns all sorts of things about how swindlers operate ... Special to MORE INTELLIGENT LIFE "I can spot someone's weakness a mile away. In any room I can pick out the best target," says Simon Lovell, reformed con artist and famed magician, when asked over lunch about the root of his talents. "Take that woman over there." He motions across the room towards a lady speaking to a man engrossed in his menu--"vulnerable, needy, looking for attention from the man she is with, but he won't give it to her. "Or that man over there, over-dressed, too neat, over-confident, thinks he is too smart to be taken." "But ultimately, anyone can be conned, if you have the balls to do it." Simon Lovell should know. Presently, instead of subjecting people to cons, Mr Lovell stars in a one-man off-Broadway show, "Strange and Unusual Hobbies". It requires avid study of psychology and body language. But I would make a poor con artist.
The worst album covers ever created The Worst Album Covers Ever Created? The cat that thinks it is a pigeon | the D By Jeff Prestridge and Jeff PrestridgeUPDATED: 10:31 GMT, 25 June 2006 THERE is no doubt that Fidelity is the country's most successful retail investment house. It is also the most arrogant. However, that is a result of its success and the way staff are indoctrinated into the 'Fidelity way' as soon as they join, and perhaps can be excused because of the stellar investment company it has become. Since the late-Seventies, when it first established a foothold in the UK unit trust business, Fidelity has trampled over traditional players such as M&G and Henderson in its quest to become number one. On the surface, much of Fidelity's success over the past 27 years has been down to one man, the irrepressible Anthony Bolton, who has been there from the word go. The scourge of many complacent, troubled or struggling public companies - ITV to name but one - Bolton has brought joy to hundreds of thousands of investors who have given him their money to invest over the years.

Tesla Society Switzerland Japan earthquake: Swarms of fish off coast of Acapulco caused by tsunami? By Daily Mail Reporter Updated: 14:26 GMT, 14 March 2011 The shores of Acapulco's beaches were this weekend teeming with masses of fish packed so tightly they looked like an oil slick from above. Thousands of sardines, anchovies, stripped bass and mackerel surged along the coast of the Mexican resort in an event believed to be linked to the devastating Japanese tsunami. Delighted fishermen rushed out in wooden motor boats, abandoning their rods and nets and simply scooping the fish up with buckets. A man photographs a shoal of sardines off the shore of Acapulco Fishermen flocked to the water to take advantage of the surge Some experts believe the phenomenon is directly related to the Japanese tsunami 'There were about 20 or 30 fishermen and there were people who came with their kids to take advantage of it,' Carlos Morales said. The fishermen attributed the strange phenomenon to the unusual currents unleashed by tsunami that followed the earthquake in Japan. Experts couldn't be sure.

Digital Photography Nikola Tesla, les inventions Né dans la nuit du 9 au 10 juillet 1856, à minuit précises, dans la petite ville de Smiljan en Autriche-Hongrie, il devint l'un des inventeurs les plus extraordinaires des temps modernes. Annoncé à tort comme Prix Nobel le 6 novembre 1915 à la une du New York Times, il fut néanmoins auteur de plus de 900 brevets traitant de nouvelles méthodes pour aborder la conversion de l'énergie, récipiendaire de quatorze doctorats des universités du monde entier et en capacité de maîtriser 12 langues. Il mourut triste et oublié le 7 janvier 1943. Hormis le fait qu'il est doté d'une mémoire photographique hors pair, il a le talent nécessaire pour expliquer dans un langage adéquat et compréhensible sa vision de l'univers dans lequel il évolue. Entre 1882 et 1888, il a breveté plusieurs dispositifs qui utilisaient des champs magnétiques tournants pour transmettre de l'électricité par courants alternatifs. En 1899, il présenta à la marine américaine un sous-marin électrique à commande radio.
