RE: WHO IS THIS

Sure is Sandy. Your turn.

Nikola Tesla (/tsl/;^[2]Serbian Cyrillic: Serbo-Croatian pronunciation: [nikola tesla]; 10 July 1856 7 January 1943) was a Serbian-American^[3]^[4]^[5]inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist who is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.^[6]

Born and raised in the Austrian Empire, Tesla received an advanced education in engineering and physics in the 1870s and gained practical experience in the early 1880s working in telephony and at Continental Edison in the new electric power industry. He immigrated to the United States in 1884, where he would become a naturalized citizen. He worked for a short time at the Edison Machine Works in New York City before he struck out on his own. With the help of partners to finance and market his ideas, Tesla set up laboratories and companies in New York to develop a range of electrical and mechanical devices. His alternating current (AC) induction motor and related polyphase AC patents, licensed by Westinghouse Electric in 1888, earned him a considerable amount of money and became the cornerstone of the polyphase system which that company would eventually market.

Attempting to develop inventions he could patent and market, Tesla conducted a range of experiments with mechanical oscillators/generators, electrical discharge tubes, and early X-ray imaging. He also built a wireless-controlled boat, one of the first ever exhibited. Tesla became well known as an inventor and would demonstrate his achievements to celebrities and wealthy patrons at his lab, and was noted for his showmanship at public lectures.

Throughout the 1890s, Tesla pursued his ideas for wireless lighting and worldwide wireless electric power distribution in his high-voltage, high-frequency power experiments in New York and Colorado Springs. In 1893, he made pronouncements on the possibility of wireless communication with his devices. Tesla tried to put these ideas to practical use in his unfinished Wardenclyffe Tower project, an intercontinental wireless communication and power transmitter, but ran out of funding before he could complete it.^[7]

After Wardenclyffe, Tesla went on to try to develop a series of inventions in the 1910s and 1920s with varying degrees of success. Having spent most of his money, he lived in a series of New York hotels, leaving behind unpaid bills. The nature of his earlier work and the pronouncements he made to the press later in life earned him the reputation of an archetypal "mad scientist" in American popular culture.^[8] Tesla died in New York City in January 1943.^[9] His work fell into relative obscurity following his death, but in 1960, the General Conference on Weights and Measures named the SI unit of magnetic flux density the tesla in his honor.^[10] There has been a resurgence in popular interest in Tesla since the 1990s.^[11]

Bonnie Prince Charles of Scotland.

sandman55 · Guru

You've got it Sheba and didn't he have a long list of names. Over to you.
Charles Edward Louis John Casimir Sylvester Severino Maria Stuart (31 December 1720 31 January 1788) was the eldest son of James Francis Edward Stuart, grandson of James II and VII and after 1766 the Stuart claimant to the throne of Great Britain. During his lifetime, he was also known as "The Young Pretender" or "The Young Chevalier" and in popular memory as "Bonnie Prince Charlie". He is best remembered for his role in the 1745 rising; defeat at Culloden in April 1746 effectively ended the Stuart cause and subsequent attempts such as a planned French invasion in 1759 failed to materialise.^[2] His escape from Scotland after the uprising led him to be portrayed as a romantic figure of heroic failure in later representations.^[3]

Charles was born in the Palazzo Muti, Rome, Italy, on 31 December 1720,^[4] where his father had been given a residence by Pope Clement XI. He spent almost all his childhood in Rome and Bologna.

Gday...

Junie Morosi (born 26 July 1933) is an Australian businesswoman, who became a public figure in the 1970s through her relationship with Jim Cairns, Deputy Prime Minister in the Whitlam Labor government. Morosi's appointment as Cairns's principal private secretary, and the nature of her relationship with him, aroused intense media interest, and the affair contributed to Cairns's eventual dismissal from office and the fall of the government.

The attraction soon became sexual, although whether and when their relationship became a sexual one remained a matter of controversy until 2002 when it was confirmed as such by Cairns. Cairns was dismissed from the Ministry in July 1975.

Mary Tyler Moore

Sheba · Guru

That's her Sandy. Who have you got ?

Mary Tyler Moore (December 29, 1936 January 25, 2017) was an American actress, known for her roles in the television sitcoms The Mary Tyler Moore Show (19701977), in which she starred as Mary Richards, a single woman working as a local news producer in Minneapolis, and The Dick Van Dyke Show (19611966), in which she played Laura Petrie, a former dancer turned Westchester homemaker, wife and mother.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] Her film work includes 1967's Thoroughly Modern Millie and 1980's Ordinary People, in which she played a role that was very different from the television characters she had portrayed, and for which she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress.^[5]^[6]^[7]

Due to her roles on both The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Dick Van Dyke Show, in which her characters often broke from stereotypical images of women and pushed gender norms, Moore became a cultural icon and served as an inspiration for many younger actresses, professional women, and feminists.^[8]^[9]^[10] She was later active in charity work and various political causes, particularly the issues of animal rights, vegetarianism^[11] and diabetes. She was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes early in the run of The Mary Tyler Moore Show.^[12] She also suffered from alcoholism, which she wrote about in her first of two memoirs. She died from cardiopulmonary arrest due to pneumonia at the age of 80 .
