It's time for those 2009 Trend predictions... Share your Secrets...

Dear Christopher,

Thanks for that family feedback.

Women seem to have an Emotional Relationship with chocolate. IF you can get the "Healthy Chocolate stuff" in their mouths. TOUCH-DOWN. It sells itself.

I've been tipping waitresses, gas station attendants, food store clerks with "Energy Chocolate".

I don't tell them any brand names.

AND

After 4 or 5 ladies Did Not eat it. Said they'd save it for "later". I started treating women clerks and sales people like I was the Mama Bird and they were the Baby bird.

The SECRET?

Stick chocolate in their mouth.

Here's what I say:

DO YOU LIKE CHOCOLATE?

They nod, "YEs."

I give a big grin.

Start unwrapping the gold foil and say, "SAY AAAAAHHHH."

"OPEN WIDE.

"Here it comes. Over the teeth and gums.

And I stick it into her mouth.

Still holding onto the wrapper.

I fed a sales gal 4 pieces one day - and she kept 7 other people waiting while she helped Me.

Great fun.

Good selling practice too.

It helped me realize my biggest problem sending chocolate samples in Tupperware Jars was. Many of my clients and prospects NEVER TASTED THE CHOCOLATE!

I know this cuz I called them on the phone and asked.

I had to Convince them this was not CANDY chocolate. It's got no refined sugar or milk in it at all.

For Best Results 1 on 1 Chris...

I - Eat The "Energy Chocolate" in front of women

II - If she notices or asks you say, "Oh, pardon me. This "Energy chocoalte is so good I forgot my manners."

THEN you give her some. IF she promises to eat it right there.

IF she eat it - she GETS EMOTIONAL and Excited. And wants MORE.

Let me know how you make out.

I've never been good with realizing 1 year trends. But here are a few things I think are going to go HOT-HOT-HOT within the next few years.

1. We will crack the code to having wireless electricity for all sorts of devices. (Actually we already have done so in labs. In the next few years, we will see it on the market.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_energy_transfer
http://www.popsci.com/node/16714
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencete...city-home.html

2. Corollary - we may also see an increase in cancer because of wireless electricity. Or at least a scare - that wireless electricity could cause cancer - and the top scientists will be divided on the issue. (Just like with cellphones.)

And we will see a lot more products like:

3. We will see a lot more hybrid and electric cars. I won't be surprised to not find any new fuel based cars being made within 10 years.

We will see gas stations for electric and hybrid cars being standardized. Mostly to the standards set by Better Place:
http://www.betterplace.com/our-bold-plan/how-it-works/

4. We will finally crack solar energy... how to get it for cheap.

5. Getting your DNA will be the new hot thing. Genetic testing will become huge and cheap too... People will be finding out what diseases you could get based on your DNA code.

Google has already invested in:

6. We will see a decrease in people spending big bucks only because of brand names. The brands will constantly have to innovate like how Nike does it. If they rely on just their historical brand value, they won't do well. But if they invest in R&D - they will.

Example - Speedo with their swimming costumes:
http://themedicieffect.typepad.com/s...le-perspe.html

Companies like IceBreaker will do very well.

7. Scientists will finally figure out that we experience taste because of the vibrations of the atoms that are in the food we eat. Which will result in a whole new industry of creating food preservative products without any of their downsides.

We will go nano on food. For eg: scientists will see the type of vibrations atoms in corn syrup have. Then find atoms with similar vibrations and create artificial corn syrup. But without the fattening properties.

Yes - We will be seeing more healthy food products that are made in labs - and eventually - factories.

8. We will see an increase in defense budgets of almost all countries. But we will also see unobtrusive defense products being made.

Eg: http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/12/02/a...ity/index.html

Dear Ankesh,

Thanks for the NEW Wire-less electricity info.

Nicola Tesla is mentioned many times in your links.

Tesla invented Radio (Not Marconi) & invented the exact AC current and Alternating current motors we use today.

Then he figured out how to send electricity - without wires - thru the ground - for miles. (It worked. Tesla got light bulbs to light by sticking them into the dirt - 5 miles away from his lab.)

AND

After measuring the vibration frequency of the Earth. He sent power thru the air too at his Colorado test lab. Finding best results High up in the atmosphere - above the ground where the Air did not interfere with power transmission.

Needing Money to fund more research - Tesla wrote an article which got J. Pierpont Morgan to put up 150K for his Wyercliff Tower Project. A cheap method of transferring electric power.

But then the banker discovered that Tesla planned to send electricity thru the air FREE.

So Morgan bankrupted Tesla. Who had a nervous breakdown after he ran out of money.

George Westinghouse stopped paying him. None of Tesla's other partners wanted FREE Electricity or long distance transmission without wires, either.

They wanted to CHARGE for it.

100 years ago Tesla figured it out in his head. Then successfully tested all of this.

Including pulling electricity out of the air and ground. Tesla discovered that electricity is all around us, inside us - everything is made up of electricity.

He thought of the Human body as a "Meat Machine" powered by electricity. One of his machines measured the sudden power spark when an arm muscle was flexed.

Now we come forward 100 years to today.

7 feet vs 5 miles

In your Article links - Modern Scientists sent electromagnetic power 7 feet. By tuning the motor and the light bulb to the same wave length. (Despite what they say I think it dangerous to have Huge amounts of ODD vibrational Electromagnetic energy in the air around us.)

Tesla's electromagnetic energy was SAFE.

HE tuned power supply and receiver to the same EARTH Frequency. We're living inside that frequency already so it's pretty darn safe. Then Sent power many miles with crude equipment.

Have you seen this photo of his Tesla Coil
shooting electricty btwn the coil and the "ground" in Tesla's lab? As long as you wore rubber soled shoes it was safe.

Thanks Glenn.

My opinion = Tesla is a genius. But his free electricity from earth's frequency was a pipe dream. It never worked. This is just my opinion.

I base my opinion on the knowledge that Tesla's patents are public domain. And yet - no one has been able to find success in generating electricity from Earth using the information from his patents. As far as I know - Tesla has never proven the generation of electricity using Earth-resonance principles himself - even on a smaller scale.

Also - I dont think JP Morgan was a fool. Morgan is the guy who saved US economy twice. Dont you think he could have thought of a way of charging for the electricity generated by Tesla's ideas - even though Tesla may have wanted to make it available for free?

In 1900 - Morgan backed Tesla and invested $150,000 for the building of Tesla Tower. In 1903 - when the Tesla tower was nearing completion - it was still not functional. At that time, Morgan asked Tesla how would they make money. And Tesla said that he intended to make electricity free. Everyone remembers that Morgan then stopped backing the building of Tesla Tower. No one remembers that the Tesla Tower had never been functional.

I may be wrong - but I dont think Tesla managed to generate free electricity from Earth.

(As far as I know - JP Morgan didn't bankrupt Tesla. He just stopped his funding of the Tesla tower. Also George Westinghouse didn't stop his payments to Tesla. The patents to AC current that Westinghouse had bought expired. He didn't have to pay Tesla anymore.)

Dear Ankesh,

Thanks.

Although I've read all Tesla's books and much about him.

I don't think we'll ever know what happened.

Tesla invented stuff in his head.

He was a dreamer. Not a business man.

I must admit that I find it fascinating that nobody (for 100 years) seems to be able to duplicate or surpass this ONE Man.

Anyway.

Speaking of genius.

Have you seen the YouTube videos of this 68 story Hi-rise that Rotates?

Each floor rotates!

If you own that floor - you can push a button and SPIN.

Self supporting energy and electricity.

The good thing about having trillions of our oil money is the Sheik in Dubai is exploring crazy new ideas NOBODY else will try.

A good test ground.

A lot like the NEW discoveries that came from the Apollo Space program. Or out of Nicola Tesla's head.

You keep what works. Throw the rest away.
