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 One and the Many

Studies of God, Man, the Church, and the World today

by Metropolitan John D. Zizioulas

This volume offers a collection of Zizioulas articles which have appeared mostly in English, and which present his trinianatarian doctrine of God, as well as his theological account of the Church as the place in which freedom and communion are actualized. The title, The One and the Many, suggests the idea of a profound relationship that exists between the Persons in the Holy Trinity, between Christ and the Church, between one Catholic Church and many catholic Churches. On each of these levels of communion, each one is called to receive from one another and indeed to receive one another. And while this is understandable at the Triadological and Christological levels, it raises all sorts of fundamental ecclesiological questions, since the highest point of unity in this context is both the mutual ecclesial-eucharistic recognition and agreement on doctrine and canonical-eccelesiological organization.
