Ilon Mask poklonio milion dolara za Muzej Nikole Tesle

Iloan Mask, pronalazač i milioner i vlasnik “Tesla Motors”, donirao je milion dolara za Naučni centar Tesla u okrugu Safolk u Njujorku na Long Ajlendu, na mestu Vardenklifa, jedine preostale laboratorije slavnog naučnika. Za taj potez Maska veliku zaslugu ima jedan autor veb stripa, prenosi CNN.

Metju Inman, čiji strip i sajt The Oatmeal privlači milione čitalaca svakog meseca, potvrdio je u četvrtak da je razgovarao sa Maskom i da mu je on potvrdio donaciju.

.

Inman je rekao da mu je Mask rekao dve stvari tokom telefonskog razgovora:
- napraviće punkt za punjenje Tesla automobila na parkingu ispred muzeja.
- doniraće milion dolara da se muzej napravi i počne sa radom.

Osnivač komapnije Tesla Motors već je ranije donirao 2,500 dolara za budući muzej.

Naučni centar Tesla potvrdio je ovu vest na svom tviteru.

    $1 million from Elon Musk! And a supercharging station! Thank you, Mr. Musk!!!

U jednom od svojih stripova, Inman je poredio Teslu i “stao na njegovu stranu” sa Teslinim (u svetu poznatijim savremenikom) rivalom Tomasom Edisonom. 2012. godine organizovao je akciju da kupi Vardenklif i da ga pretvori u muzej posvećen Nikoli Tesli.

Ubrzo je pokrenuo akciju na sajtu Indiegogo, koju je nazvao “Hajde da napravimo “prokleti” Teslin muzej” (Let's Build a G**damn Tesla Museum), koja je sakupila neverovatnih 1,3 miliona dolara. Od tada do danas prikupljena suma dostigla je skoro 8 miliona dolara potrebnih da se prostor restaurira i izgradi Muzej.

Ove godine je Inman u svom stripu recenzirao novi Tesla Model S i praktično kroz njega pozvao Maska da pomogne. Par sati od objavljivanja tog stripa Mask je postovao na Tviteru: "Biće mi drago da pomognem.”

The Thunderbolt of Ever-Living Fire

by archimandrite Vasileios of Iveron

The present book consists of Elder Vaileios' talks, discussions and dialogues in various venues mostly in the United States during his visit in 2011, along with excerpts from his writings selected to complement the themes of his talks.  The themes dealt with by Fr. Vasileios so eloquently in this book are extraordinarily wide-ranging; he handles complex and difficult issues in theology, spirituality, liturgics, parish life and monasticism with amazing clarity and insight.  He quotes with equal facility from figures as diverse as Heraclitus, Dostoevsky, St. Isacc the Syrian, St. Maximus the Confessor, Stefan Zweig, Andrei Tarkovsky, Vladimir Lossy, Georges Florovsky and St. Nicholas Cabasilas.  Above all, there is an exhilarating sense of freedom and innocence in his thought.  It is the freedom and innocence of profound faith and spiritual knowledge and childlike simplicity.  HIs wisnow is expressed via the "hyperlogic" of a hesychastic spriti, which makes for surprising connections and illuminating insights.

The appearance of this new book by Archimandrite Vaileios is truly a cuase for celebration.
