Реставрациони́зм, также называемый христианским примитивизмом, — это вера в то, что христианство было или должно быть восстановлено в соответствии с тем, что известно об апостольской ранней церкви, которую реставраторы рассматривают как поиск более чистой и древней формы религии.

Идеи Реставрации (этот термин обозначает восстановление новозаветной церкви и церковного единства на основании библейской истины) возникли в конце XVIII века в США в ряде методистских, пресвитерианских и баптистских общин. Их лидеры выступали за единство и возвращение к исключительному авторитету Писания. Самая крупная из «реставраторских» групп возникла в среде пресвитериан в штатах Кентукки и Теннеси. Их лидером был  (1772—1844), ставший в 1798 году священником в  в округе Бурбон — месте, которое вскоре стало центром самого крупного духовного пробуждения в Америке. Там собирались толпы от десяти до тридцати тысяч человек, чтобы слушать проповеди баптистских, методистских и пресвитерианских священников. В результате Стоун сделал вывод, что деноминационные барьеры не должны препятствовать единству Церкви.

Пресвитерианский синод штата Кентукки призвал к ответу Стоуна и ещё пятерых священников за их необычную открытость в отношениях с христианами других деноминаций. Но прежде чем синод смог собраться и назначить им наказание, они образовали собственную ассоциацию — . Однако уже через год они решили, что существование самой этой Спрингфилдской пресвитерии противодействует достижению единства христиан, поэтому они приняли решение о её упразднении. Причины такого решения они изложили в написанной в 1804 году «Последней воле и завещании Спрингфилдской пресвитерии». Основные идеи, изложенные в данном документе, таковы: отрицание разграничения на духовенство и мирян; доступность Библии каждому верующему; внутреннее самоуправление каждой общины; только Писание, как мерило веры и практики; призыв к взаимной терпимости.

Последователи Стоуна начали называть себя просто «христианами», основывая «церкви Христа». К 1820-м годам движение Стоуна выросло до двенадцати тысяч человек, во многом благодаря тому, что целые конгрегации  стали называться просто «христианами». Наряду со Стоуном основными идеологами движения Восстановления были , 1763—1854) и его сын Александр Кэмпбелл, 1788—1866). Стоун завязал дружбу с бывшим баптистским проповедником и последователем Кэмпбелла Джоном Т. Джонсоном. Они организовали конференцию в  и Лексингтоне (31 дек. — 1 янв. 1831—1832 гг.). На ней , видный последователь Кэмпбелла и проповедник, сделал одно из самых известных заявлений движения Реставрации: «Так давайте же, братья мои, не будем больше кэмпбеллистами или стоунистами, Новыми Светочами или Старыми Светочами, или какими бы то ни было особыми светочами. Но давайте обратимся к Библии и только лишь к Библии, ведь это единственная книга, способная дать нам весь тот Свет, в котором мы нуждаемся». После этого Смит и Стоун пожали друг другу руки, и их общины приняли Вечерю как одна община, хотя процесс объединения движений завершился не сразу.

Многие реставрационистские деноминации верили, что они восстановили христианство в первоначальном, аутентичном виде, хотя успешность реставрации в этих деноминациях воспринималась другими церквами и группами критически. Реставрационистские верования побуждали своих адептов стремиться возвратиться к структуре, этике и опыту раннего христианства, однако такой опыт зачастую приводил к выходу ряда движений и групп за пределы христианской ортодоксии в целом и протестантизма в частности.

К реставрационистским движениям в рамках протестантизма относят следующие течения:

 Ученики Христа

 Истинная церковь Иисуса
  и др.

Иногда к протестантским реставрационистским движениям относят также некоторые группы пятидесятников (например, единственники, Международная объединённая пятидесятническая церковь и ранний адвентизм. Такие дореформационные деноминации, как вальденсы, лолларды, анабаптисты, гуситы и их преемники моравские братья, тоже рассматриваются как реставрационистские.

К парахристианским группам и течениям реставрационистского происхождения относятся:

 Церковь Иисуса Христа Святых последних дней;
 Сообщество Христа;
 Свидетели Иеговы;
  ;
 «Христианская наука» и др.

EAST LANSING, Mich. – July 28 – Although participation in high school sports rebounded significantly at Michigan High School Athletic Association schools during the 2021-22 school year, the percentage of member schools charging participation fees remained near its lowest of the last two decades after a major reduction during 2020-21 when fall and winter activities were affected by COVID-19.
Only 40 percent of MHSAA member schools charged participation fees during the 2021-22 school year, following 41 percent using them during 2020-21 – after 48 percent of member schools reported charging them during the 2019-20 school year, when athletics operated normally until the pandemic resulted in a shutdown that March. The dips into the low 40s were the lowest percentages of schools assessing fees since the 2006-07 school year.
The MHSAA participation fee survey has measured the prevalence of charging students to help fund interscholastic athletics annually since the 2003-04 school year. The percentage of member schools charging fees crossed 50 percent in 2010-11 and reached a high of 56.6 percent in 2013-14 before falling back to 50 percent or below during recent years.
Of the 690 schools (92 percent of membership) which responded to the 2021-22 survey, 279 assessed a participation fee, while 411 did not during the past school year. For the purposes of the survey, a participation fee was anything $20 or more regardless of what the school called the charge (registration fee, insurance fee, transportation fee, etc.).
Class A schools remained the largest group charging fees, with 57 percent of respondents doing so. Class B and Class C schools followed, with 39 and 34 percent charging fees, respectively, and 33 percent of Class D schools also charged for participation.
Among schools assessing fees, a standardized fee for each team on which a student-athlete participates – regardless of the number of teams – has shown for a number of years to be the most popular method, with that rate at 46 percent of schools with fees for 2021-22. Next were 32 percent of assessing schools charging a one-time standardized fee per student-athlete, followed by 14 percent assessing fees based on tiers of the number of sports a student-athlete plays (for example, charging a larger fee for the first team and less for additional sports).
The amounts of participation fees have remained relatively consistent over the last decade. For 2021-22, the median annual maximum fee per student was $150, and the median maximum fee per family was $300. The median fee assessed by schools that charge student-athletes once per year was $120, and the median fee for schools that assess per team on which a student-athlete plays was $75.
The survey for 2021-22 and surveys from previous years can be found on the MHSAA Website at www.mhsaa.com by clicking on Schools & Schedules – Administrators – Pay-To-Play Resources (direct link to this year's results: https://www.mhsaa.com/Portals/0/Documents/Media/21-22FeeSurveyResultsSeniorHigh.pdf.
As reported earlier this month, participation in MHSAA-sponsored sports rebounded 6.6 percent in 2021-22 from the previous school year. More on participation can be found here: https://www.mhsaa.com/News/Press-Releases/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/9639/MHSAA-Member-Schools-Enjoy-Significant-Rebound-in-Sports-Participation-in-2021-22.
The MHSAA is a private, not-for-profit corporation of voluntary membership by more than 1,400 public and private senior high schools and junior high/middle schools which exists to develop common rules for athletic eligibility and competition. No government funds or tax dollars support the MHSAA, which was the first such association nationally to not accept membership dues or tournament entry fees from schools. Member schools which enforce these rules are permitted to participate in MHSAA tournaments, which attract more than 1.4 million spectators each year.

I don't have my invite yet, but I got my invite yesterday evening, and I've been playing/reading/watching up on the new Google+ Project offering from Google. From what I've seen so far, I think it might hit the mark. One big win is that service does integrate directly with current Gmail and Android contacts. This is crucial: I've written in the past that other Google social media efforts (Hotpot, +1, Latitude) were destined to fail b/c they were platforms that didn't allow me to bring "my network" (my email contacts) into the mix.
I've been of the opinion lately that the mobile app, GroupMe, is all of the Facebook I would ever need. It allows me to start group chats, identify my geographic location, start phonecalls, share pictures, and more. Best of all, GroupMe allows me to do this on a per-group basis: No all-or-nothing approach as with Facebook. One of the most compelling features of Google+ is this same breakout of friends, each with its own settings. Google knows this and plays heavily into that when promoting their "Circles" feature.
So, does Google finally have a social media winner? I see a lot of press focused on whether this offering can unseat Facebook, but I'm not sure if that is the right question. I'm more interested in the potential for Google+ to achieve critical mass, that is sizable and sustainable adoption -- regardless of comparisons to Facebook. If "yes" Google will have demonstrated that social media platforms are not one size fits all. I think this is where the space is going, and I can see this as an important learning for the marketplace.
The precedent is already here: today, we have an easy split between Facebook (for personal social and commerce use) and LinkedIn (for business). Longer term, I could easily see some fragmentation (with Facebook remaining strongly dominant), along with the rise of "social media aggregator services" that bring together streams from various sources. Again, the precedent exists: see TweetDeck and Hootsuite's ability to bring in LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Buzz, and more. And, we also have products like Trillian and Adium that aggregate multiple instant message platforms.
So to pose the question a different way: Will Google+ achieve critical mass? I think, yes, that this time they might have it right. They've got a great-looking new platform with the right control settings and the right connections in place -- with Gmail, Google +1, and more. To further help drive adoption, Google will benefit from the Android OS and (soon) the Chrome OS. In the long run, Google will have an inherent competitive advantage b/c it will be able to directly bake-in to the OSes - basically becoming an ever-present service to support other activities.
It seems silly counting Google as an underdog here, but if Google +1 became a persistent, if smaller, player in this space, I would consider that a big victory for them and for the marketplace, too.


The warm weather and sunshine have finally arrived, which means #RoadTripSeason is in full effect. If you recently purchased a vehicle, what better way to kick off the summer in your new ride than to hit the open road with your family or close group of friends?
If you're looking to do some serious road tripping, this historic 2,541-mile highway is the perfect route. The most scenic stretch runs west from the Grand Canyon to the Colorado River. You'll also pass through the old gold mines of the Black Mountains and hit pit stops like Cool Springs Station in Kingman, Ariz.
Hana Highway, popularly known as The Road to Hana, is a curvy, 51-mile highway stretching across the island of Maui from Kahului to Hana, HI. Along the highway are picturesque coastlines, lush botanical gardens, waterfalls, and black and red sand beaches. You should plan a full day to enjoy the various pit stops as well as detours for hungry travelers including Paia at the Mama's Fish House or the Paia Fish Market. Once you reach Hana, you can relax at the black sand Waianapanapa Beach and take a dip in the Seven Sacred Pools at the Waianapanapa State Wayside Park.
Winding along the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is Highway 513, the Black River Scenic Byway, which follows the river from the town of Bessemer to the shore of Lake Superior. Along the way, you'll pass mystic waterfalls and dense forests. Pit stops include the iron-mining town of Ironwood and a staple food landmark, Joe's Pasty Shop.
Although the entire route runs more than 300 miles, the 57-mile lower New York stretch from Poughkeepsie to Valatie has a lot of appealing scenery and pit stops during the warm season, including the Hyde Park Farmers' Market, the Gilded Age estates (including Vanderbilt Mansion) and the Harvest Spirits Farm Distillery.
This scenic route crosses three states and stretches nearly a thousand miles total. If you follow the river downstream from Cincinnati to Louisville, you can book an overnight stay at the 21c Museum Hotel, which has a $10 million collection of artwork, photos and video installations. A slight detour along the way is Kentucky's Bourbon Trail at the Louisville Visitors Center, where you can taste more than 50 bourbons from nearby distilleries including Jim Bean, Woodford Reserve and Maker's Mark.
Running through the Appalachian Mountains, Virginia's Shenandoah National Park and the Great Smoky Mountains of far western North Carolina, this picturesque parkway is a leisurely cruise filled with breathtaking views. Pit stops include the Linn Cove Viaduct and Grandfather Mountain, whose 5,837-foot peak overlooks the famous Mile High Swinging Bridge.

avast SecureLine VPN Review + Free Download
By Antivirus Rocker November 16, 2014 VPN Review 0 Comments
The free wireless access zones are ubiquitous and provide convenient connection points for people on the go. Unfortunately, they do not provide the security necessary for safe connection. Hackers can easily access the personal data of users connected to these unprotected networks and steal. AVAST has solved this problem with the VPN avast! SecureLine for smartphones and Android tablets. SecureLine version for iPhone and iPad has also been updated. By encrypting user data, SecureLine behaves like a tunnel, forming a virtual shield that makes them invisible user activities to the outside world. Users of VPN avast! SecureLine can browse the web completely anonymous, thus protecting against hackers and spies.
According to a study by AVAST from over 340,000 respondents, nearly half of the worldwide smartphone owners connect to a Wi-Fi network each month, 52% of them doing every day or every week . Whether in an airport, a coffee or a local park, unsecured Wi-Fi allows users to access the Internet without entering a password. About a third of these users perform sensitive transactions on a public Wi-Fi, as purchases in lines, bank transactions and other activities that require password entry and personal data.
"Hackers are targeting to reach areas without public thread, where it is easy to follow every movement of Wi-Fi users. The hackers have access to e-mails, passwords, documents and browsing behavior. "Said Vincent Steckler, CEO of AVAST Software." The open Wi-Fi is not going away, we just have to ensure that there is a more secure way to connect. This is why we offer the VPN SecureLine PC, iPad, iPhone, and Android devices. "
In addition to protecting users when using an unsecured Wi-Fi, VPN avast! SecureLine gives users the ability to change their place when surfing. This feature is particularly useful for frequent travelers who must circumvent regional restrictions to access content: VPN avast! SecureLine allows travelers to connect with servers in their country of origin to access services to which they subscribe.
VPN operation avast! SecureLine:
Once the VPN avast! SecureLine installed on a smartphone or tablet, it automatically notifies users of the dangers of unsecured Wi-Fi. The user then has the option to connect to the VPN secure AVAST. The VPN avast! SecureLine can be activated voluntarily by the user or be configured to establish a secure encrypted connection each time you connect the mobile device to a Wi-Fi network. By default, the application will automatically select the closest server to provide optimal performance. The user can also choose to change the virtual place from which he wishes to access the Internet, for example New York, Seattle, Singapore and London. When the VPN avast! SecureLine is enabled, all user activities performed on the Internet is anonymized and protected from hackers.
"Unfortunately, piracy is not a complicated process: there are tools available online that anyone can easily use to steal personal data. "Said Ondrej Vlcek, CTO of AVAST." We created the VPN avast!

Gaming Industry Insights: Academy Students Go Behind the Scenes at Anki!
We're back with another studio tour recap! If you're a teen who has considered attending iD Game Design & Development Academy, chances are you've heard about our studio tours. These off-campus events bring aspiring game designers and developers face to face with STEM professionals, providing valuable gaming industry insights.
This summer, students attending iD Game Design & Development Academy held at Stanford have had the opportunity to tour Anki, maker of Anki DRIVE, a "first-of-its-kind racing game that lets players use a mobile app to race real battle-equipped toy cars - alone or against friends." The cars are powered by robotics and, according to the company's website, suitable for ages 8 and up.
Click here for more information about Anki DRIVE.
During the tours, iD Game Design & Development students get to experience the company's newest product called Anki OVERDRIVE, and learn about the variety of employees it takes to create a high-performing artificial intelligence toy. Students enjoy live, hands-on demos of the products and take part in personal Q&A sessions with the developers.
Anki OVERDRIVE will be officially released on September 20, 2015. The game can be found at anki.com, as well as Amazon, Target, Toys 'R' Us, and Apple.
Once the tour destination is announced, the excitement is palpable--the opportunity to visit the Anki studio in person is a rare treat. The night before the most recent tour, students participated in an Anki DRIVE tournament to get more exposure to the game and get amped up for the next day's excursion. On the morning of the tour, they researched the company and prepared questions for the developer Q&A in order to get the most out of their visit.
The Anki office is situated in downtown San Francisco near other big-name tech companies such as Mozilla. Anthony, the Anki employee who lead the most recent tour, was extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer any questions our students tossed at him. In the past we have also had Shelly, the office manager, lead the tours. The staff has been consistently enthusiastic and welcoming, putting students immediately at ease in the new environment.
The vibe of the Anki studio is described by employees as "curious, collaborative, and authentic." Anthony explains, "we have a mix of impassioned people all from various backgrounds, working together towards a common goal. What more could you ask for? We have some of the best talent in the world. But we check our egos at the door."
iD Game Design & Development Academy students begin the Anki OVERDRIVE demo.
In the eyes of our students, getting to play the all new, yet-to-be-released Anki OVERDRIVE has been a definite tour highlight. According to our academy Assistant Director, Jon, "many of our students ask if we are going to be getting the new product in the labs now or next year. They're excited and really want to see more of it."
Our Anki guide, Anthony, added, "The most illustrative moment I can think of was when the cars would line up at the starting line all on their own, a feature that shows off our localization tech. Every time this happened, without fail, a collective gasp was let out in the room. iD Tech students asked great questions and made very insightful observations throughout the demo."
In addition to the Anki OVERDRIVE demo, our students have enjoyed gaining gaming industry insights from the Anki product creators, and experiencing what the day to day work environment is like in a major game studio at a robotics company. For many students, it's a lot easier to imagine a future in game design or game development when you've walked the halls of a real studio and conversed with talented professionals who share the same passion.
It's easy to imagine a future in the gaming industry when you've walked the halls of a studio and conversed with the pros.
iD Game Design & Development Academy students test out Anki OVERDRIVE on the office track.
Obviously, it's not every day teens come face to face with some of the gaming industry's greatest minds. As academy Assistant Director Jon explains, "the tour is a great way for students to see what it's like to be in a production studio...the team members at Anki were great at fielding questions and keeping the students interested." The impact of interacting with a panel of esteemed developers is sure to be lasting, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for our next generation of game designers and developers. Thanks, Anki!

How to achieve your New Year's resolution to save.
South Africans have been branded the worst savers in the world and local economists have warned that if the slow economic growth experienced in 2017 persists, it will be even harder to save going forward. The lack of savings compels many South Africans to turn to debt to fund even negligible financial emergencies.
Many people do not save because they do not see where they can free up cash in their constrained budgets. And those who have some contractual savings in place rarely increase their contributions beyond the annual increases mandated by their product providers.
Contributing just 5% more to your savings vehicle can help you reach your goal faster. Similarly, paying 5% more than your minimum monthly instalment can reduce your debt repayment period substantially.
Sanlam's calculations show that if a person earning R25 000 p.m. contributes 15% a month towards their employer-sponsored retirement fund, their monthly savings would be R3 750. If they saved this amount for 40 years, increasing by inflation, they could get 66% of their pre-retirement income when they retire. If they saved just 5%, or R188, extra per month, they could get 69% of their pre-retirement income. But if they also increased their contribution yearly by 1% more than inflation, their retirement income could increase to 80%, assuming an inflation rate of 6% and an investment return of 9% p.a. after fees.
Saving or putting more money towards monthly debt repayment is quite possible, even if you live pay cheque to pay cheque.
The trick is to break the hand-to-mouth pattern. A strategy of saving whatever is left after spending is unlikely to succeed or get you out of the pay cheque to pay cheque scenario. You need to do the reverse of that.
Pay yourself first: Put money away for saving as soon as you receive your salary - automatically deducting this from your salary is the best way to do it.
Increase your debt repayment debit order: Don't try to pay extra only if there is money left after spending. Let your creditors deduct the extra repayments as soon as you get paid.
Save towards a goal: Whether it is a deposit on a house, your children's education or a comfortable retirement, it is much easier to save if the savings goal is real and important to you, rather than vaguely saving because "everyone needs to save".
Reassess your debt: Try to stick to good debt (e.g. mortgage bond, studies) and use cash for other expenses instead of using credit or store cards. You pay high interest on short-term debt, so make it a priority to settle it promptly. Once that is done, save the money that used to go towards debt repayment.
Keep a lid on non-essential expenses: Start recording your expenditure on non-essential items. Decide which of these you are willing to give up. Also try cheaper alternatives for activities you engage in quite frequently.

Fighting Authoritarianism with Javier El-Hage
On: Moderator
Summit(s): 2018
Speaker: Javier El-Hage
PrevOpening Address with Luis Almagro
The Pen and the Sword with Asli ErdoğanNext
Javier El-Hage, chief legal officer of the Human Rights Foundation, addresses the 10th Annual Geneva Summit for Human Rights and Democracy – see quotes below, followed by full prepared remarks.
On learning the importance of liberty:
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." [Jefferson]
"That's one way of learning about the importance of liberty and democracy. To have to fight for it, to have to go through horrendous circumstances after you've lost liberty and then try to recuperate it."
"Everyone that has a luxury of living in a free society, in a democracy, in a country that is not ruled by an authoritarian regime, must learn from the stories of the people that are bearing witness day to day that you have here in this conference."
"We must hear the stories, we must learn about their stories, about their suffering, so that in our own societies we don't repeat the same mistakes."
Full Remarks
Thank you to UN Watch for the invitation, the Human Rights Foundation chaired by Garry Kasparov and presided by Thor Halvorssen, I am very grateful for the opportunity to once again collaborate in the organization of this wonderful conference.
I want to start, before I introduce our panellists, by noting that there are two ways in which we can learn the importance of liberty and democracy. One of them is exemplified by Thomas Jefferson's quote that the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure, he said, it is its natural fertilizer. That's one way of learning about the importance of liberty and democracy. To have to fight for it, to have to go through horrendous circumstances after you've lost liberty and then try to recuperate it.
Another way is exemplified by the great quote of Holocaust survivor, Elie Wiesel, that said "we must bear witness for the dead and for the living, it is our responsibility to bear witness and to decide what to do with our memories of the deceased under a dictatorship". The second one obviously is the one that we are called to do here in open societies in Switzerland, in the United States, in Canada, in most countries in Latin America today, in most countries of Western Europe, in around 20% of Africa, everyone that has a luxury of living in a free society, in a democracy, in a country that is not ruled by an authoritarian regime, must learn from the stories of the people that are bearing witness day to day that you have here in this conference that you saw in the in the clip at the beginning. We must hear the stories we must learn about their stories, about their suffering, so that in our own societies we don't repeat the same mistakes. We bear witness as they are bearing witness of their own societies and that way rid ourselves from the perils of tyranny that are prevalent in every open society. Every open society can shut down in a single generation.
The four speakers I'm gonna introduce today are examples of of heroes, survivors that have borne witness of their own countries that atrocities and I wanna I want to introduce them one by one. First though I want to define authoritarianism by Nathan Sharansky's public square test. According to Nathan Sharansky's case for democracy, if one cannot go to the public square and freely criticize its government one is not living in a free society one is living in a fear society. Authoritarian regimes are by definition regimes where people live in fear societies. Where people cannot go to the public square and criticize the government. Now political scientists go and make more sophisticated arguments that maintain this general truth.
One such political political scientist is Steve Levitsky which we follow at the Human Rights Foundation to classify governments around the world in either dictatorship or two types of authoritarian regimes: competitive authoritarian regimes or fully authoritarian regimes which are non-democracies. According to our account 95 of around 193 countries in the world are authoritarian regimes, are ruled by authoritarian governments that do not pass the public square test. That is the case of Vietnam, of Zimbabwe, of Cuba, and Turkey today. Unfortunately all four countries are considered fully authoritarian regimes, full-fledged dictatorships.
Turkey was a good example of a competitive authoritarian regime, there was some degree of decent competition for power, in a climate of harassment and persecution obviously, but there was some semblance of democracy. The same with Venezuela many years ago. But both countries have have transitioned into complete dictatorial regimes. We're gonna hear first from Asli Erdogan, Asli comes from Turkey, a 85 million people country. A country that was on the verge of becoming full-fledged democracy and of being admitted for membership at the European Union but that unfortunately has gone completely the opposite way. Asli is a writer who has been herself imprisoned for being a member of an advisory board of a newspaper in Turkey. She has suffered political imprisonment, inhuman and degrading treatment in prison, and she is very eloquent as you'll see in a minute in explaining how horrible the situation has become an unbearable for the free world to to continue watching Idle, how unbearable this situation has become in Turkey.
After that we're gonna have Guillermo Coco Farinas. Guillermo is a Sakharov Prize winner, the human rights prize from the European Union as you know. As well as the Venezuelan opposition today represented by Mayor Ledezma. He won the Sakharov prize back in the early 2000s, he is a very brave advocate for democracy, he has essentially risked his life many times by doing hunger strikes in Cuba for dozens of days, he's been at the verge of annihilation but he has survived to tell his story to bear witness to what happens in Cuba to his fellow dissidents and to enlighten us all so that we don't repeat the issues that he saw in Cuba. He was a member of the dictatorship at some point, he was a military man, he fought with the dictatorship in Africa and he is here to bear witness about his experience.
Third we're gonna have pastor Evan Mawarire. Evan is a hero from Zimbabwe, one of the worst dictatorships in Africa. After Idi Amin was an infamous dictator proudly Robert Mugabe became the best example of an awful tyrant that turned his country's dream for independence into a nightmare of kleptocracy and abuse and repression. He is a member of the new generation that is calling on his country for hope, that this new generation that has eventually led to the overthrow of Mugabe. Unfortunately though Zimbabwe has not transitioned into a democracy, it's still ruled by the same tyrants and he's gonna speak about that today.
And finally we're gonna hear from someone that is bearing witness also on behalf of his dad, of his imprisoned father in Vietnam. Vietnam has I believe very little attention compared to the degree of human suffering that it inflicts on people. Vietnam has a population of close to 100 million people. In this tiny country that we in the free world know mostly because of Hollywood movies about the Vietnam War, this country is in fact still today oppressed. One hundred million people are oppressed by a dictatorial regime there and one of those people is Effy Nguyen's dad and he's gonna speak about that in a little bit as he bears witness and hopefully illuminates us all so that in free societies were able to spread the message, spread the word so that voters vote for the left or for the right every election cycle but never vote for the dictatorial left or the dictatorial right because the end result is very similar and it leads to oppression, dictatorship, and tyranny.

Barsvörösvár (szlovákul Červený Hrádok, korábban Verešvár) község Szlovákiában, a Nyitrai kerület Aranyosmaróti járásában.

Fekvése
Aranyosmaróttól 10 km-re délre, a Širočina-patak mellett fekszik.

Története
Területén már az őskorban is laktak emberek. Ezt bizonyítják az itt előkerült ősi cseréptöredékek. A községet 1386-ban "Verusuar" alakban említik először. 1397-ben Veresaur néven említik. Története során többször cserélt gazdát. Előbb a gímesi váruradalom része volt, majd a Forgáchoké. 1599-ben a törökök fosztották ki, 7 embert megöltek, 21 személyt fogságba hurcoltak. 1601-ben 26 háza volt. 1652-ben lakói hősies küzdelem után elűzték a támadó török sereget. A 17. században a falu árulás következményeként a kincstárra szállt. A Rákóczi-szabadságharc leverése után a Bacskády, Beliczay, Gaál, Majthényi, Tajnay és Révay családok birtoka. 1714-ben 45 család élt itt. 1812-ben 240 lakosa volt. 1828-ban 43 háza és 290 lakosa volt, akik főként mezőgazdasággal foglalkoztak.

Vályi András szerint "VERESVÁR. Tót falu Bars Várm. földes Urai több Urak, lakosai katolikusok, fekszik Nevedhez nem meszsze, és annak filiája; határja ollyan, mint Kis Veszekényé."

Fényes Elek szerint "Vörösvár, Bars m. német falu, Néved fil. 319 kath. lak. Mind földje mind rétje hasznos. Erdeje is van. F. u. h. Eszterházy sat. Ut. p. Verebély."

A trianoni békeszerződésig Bars vármegye Verebélyi járásához tartozott. 1974-ben Kis- és Nagyvezekénnyel egyesítették, 1990 óta újra önálló község.

Népessége
1880-ban 347 lakosából 293 szlovák 14 magyar anyanyelvű volt.

1890-ben 383 lakosából 371 szlovák 2 magyar anyanyelvű volt.

1900-ban 399 lakosából 381 szlovák 12 magyar anyanyelvű volt.

1910-ben 470 lakosából 426 szlovák 44 magyar anyanyelvű volt.

1921-ben 500 lakosából mind csehszlovák volt.

1930-ban 534 lakosából mind csehszlovák volt.

1991-ben 446 lakosából 445 szlovák volt.

2001-ben 414 lakosából 408 szlovák volt.

2011-ben 411 lakosából 403 szlovák volt.

Nevezetességei

 Szent György tiszteletére szentelt római katolikus temploma 1902-ben épült.
 A falu feletti Stávka-dombon téglából épített vár és őrtorony maradványai találhatók. A vár egy török támadás következtében pusztult el.

Neves személyek
Itt született Maróti Géza építész, iparművész.

The pipeline has made Bar Mitzvah !
The pipeline which carries gas from Egypt to Israel and Jordan was blown up on Monday, for the 13th time in the past year.
According to a BBC report, the blasts happened near the town of el-Arish in the north of the Sinai desert, sending flames high into the air, witnesses said.
The Egyptian gas pipeline provides 43 percent of Israel's natural gas. The explosion could lead to disruptions in the supply of gas, as has happened following similar explosions in the past.
Also at I.S.U. regarding the pipeline — "Oh no…… Not again !" — Covering the previous 'events'.

Q: Is there a simple way to convert a JSON URL into a downloadable PDF using PHP? I have just started learning PHP so I am not so familiar with this but any help is really appreciated and hope to help others similar with this too.
So basically it is easy to parse the JSON URL using the GET method request:(just for example)
<?php
$data = file_get_contents("https://jsonexample.com/");
$json = json_decode($data, true);
print_r($json);
?>

To today's politicians, Abraham Lincoln is still a total rock star, one of the Presidents candidates from both parties most often cite as one they admire.
Hillary Clinton picked Abe — over her own husband and her old boss — as her favorite President. Donald Trump insists he can be more presidential than anybody — other than "the great Abe Lincoln."
But for all the public fealty to Honest Abe, there's little if any fealty to actual honesty by our leading candidates for President. In the Democrats' presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton and the Republicans' Donald Trump, we the people have likely chosen two of most provably dishonest candidates in modern history, all while insisting honesty, like, totally matters to us.
Who are we kidding? An Economist/YouGov poll asked 2,000 American adults what our most important qualification is for picking a President, and a plurality said "honest and trustworthy." In the same poll, most Americans admitted they do not believe the current presidential front-runners are honest and trustworthy.
In a recent Washington Post/ABCNews poll, 59% said Hillary Clinton is not honest and trustworthy, while 69% said that about Trump.
So, whom do voters say they trust? Bernie Sanders, Ben Carson, John Kasich and Marco Rubio. With the exception of Bernie Sanders — and not since Tenzing Norgay has anyone fought so hard to finish second — none of those guys are still in the hunt.
Let's drop the façade. This election proves we do not care at all if our candidates are honest — in fact, we don't care all that much if they are habitual liars.
To wit: A YouTube video mash-up of "Hillary Clinton lying for 13 minutes straight" has been viewed nearly 8 million times. While it includes mostly her well-documented flip-flops on a variety of issues, and only a couple of outright lies, it hardly paints the picture of a virtuous, straightforward candidate for President.
In addition to the flip-flops, Clinton has a long history of earning "False" ratings by PolitiFact, whether it was saying President George W. Bush decreased funding to the National Institutes of Health (he increased it), insisting she criticized the war in Iraq before then-Sen. Obama did (she did not), or asserting that the gun industry is the "only business in America that is wholly protected from any kind of liability" (it is not).
Then there are her biographical lies — claiming all of her grandparents were immigrants (only one was), or that she landed in Bosnia "under sniper fire" (she did not), or that she left the White House "dead broke" (nope), or that she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary (who didn't climb Mt. Everest until she was six).
Finally, of course, there's the lie of all lies: Most conservatives still believe she lied to the public following the attacks in Benghazi, blaming a video instead of terrorism to protect the Obama administration's foreign policy decisions in an election year.
All of this should tell you a lot about a person's character — and yet, here we are on the precipice of a Sir Edmund Hillary Clinton nomination.
Donald Trump, however, may put Clinton to the test for the most lies told in the shortest amount of time.
Politico found that in 4.6 hours of speeches, Trump lied, on average, once every five minutes. Huffington Post reported 71 lies over the course of just one town hall.
In a debate, Trump was asked about having called for "up to a 45% tariff on Chinese goods." Trump interrupted: "that's wrong. They were wrong," he said, referring to the New York Times. "They are always wrong."
The New York Times produced the audio. They were exactly right.
Trump tweeted an infographic asserting that blacks kill 81% of white homicide victims (the actual number is about 15%).
He said he knew nothing about David Duke (Trump, who claims to have "the world's greatest memory," had expressed familiarity with him before).
He asserted that Obama wants to accept 250,000 refugees from Syria (the actual number is 10,000).
He said the number of illegal immigrants in America was 30 million or higher (credible estimates go as high as 12 million).
The Daily Wire accumulated 101 of Trump's lies, including that he never said George W. Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction (he did), that MSNBC edited footage of an interview with him (it didn't), and that Trump Winery is the largest on the East Coast (it's not even the largest in Virginia).
In Trump's "Art of the Deal," he boasted about his slippery relationship with the truth: "I play to people's fantasies . . . That's why a little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular. I call it truthful hyperbole. It's an innocent form of exaggeration — and a very effective form of promotion."
With all this rampant dishonesty flying around, the question isn't whether we no longer care about honesty, but whether we ever truly did. Bill Clinton remains one of the most popular ex-Presidents ever, even despite lying under oath, a feat that rivals lying to George Washington (Benedict Arnold), lying to the Securities and Exchange Commission (Bernie Madoff) and lying to Oprah (James Frey) for the Hall of Fame of lie types.
It may feel good to say we care about a politician's honesty. And boy do I wish we did. But if this election is any indication, it's time to be honest with ourselves and admit the truth.


I couldn't agree more, and I got a chance to help make that happen at Neiman Marcus and San Diego Maagzine's Second Annual Fashion Rules event. I styled a Spring trend segment featuring all white looks for the show. Looks like spring has sprung my fellow fashionistas!

Bust ups
Surly Sam
Sam Worthington was the star of flicks like Terminator Salvation, Clash of the Titans and Avatar. His most recent appearance has been in a police mugshot. That's because Sam got into a bust up with a doorman @ The Vortex down in Atlanta. Seems that Surly Sam wandered in last Saturday but got turned away at he door. Seems he was intoxicated. At least that's what the police report quoted on Celebuzz.com said. Sam didn't care for the Southern hospitality and got pushy with doorman Jerry Link. In fact Worthington shoved him twice. So Link pepper sprayed Worthington, handcuffed him, & then called the cops. Worthington got charged with disorderly conducted, but was sprung again by Monday. So he could head right back to work on his Ten film, which stars Arnold Schwarzenegger. Worthginton's managber was contacted for a statement but naturally repsondded no comment – "We can't make any comment." but did confirm the incident to People Magazine!
Selena Gomez leaves ya wanting more!
Speaking of People they're reporting that Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are officially splitsville. There have been rumours about that for awhile now. People sez:
"She broke up with him about a week ago," a source tells PEOPLE. "With them being apart so much it got complicated. She had some trust issues. It's not easy, but the relationship needed to end."
The actress, 20, and Bieber, 18, officially stepped out as a couple in February 2011 after months of dating quietly.
The couple fought off breakup rumors in August 2011 and again this past July, but were spotted enjoying a haunted house together on Sept. 30.
"I don't ever want her to feel like I'm ashamed of her," the pop star tells Oprah Winfrey of his decision to go public with his relationship despite fan backlash, in an interview set to air Nov. 25.
So the word is that she dumped him! It'll be interesting to hear a response from Bieber on who dumped whom and what the trust issues were.
Dumped by the Beeb
The BBC has some trust issues these days. That's because the late Jimmy Saville has been accused of having molested hundreds of underage girls during his career as a Brit pop cult icon and BBC mainstay. Worse still he had some of his cronies like Gary Glitter in on it with him. Glitter still has to answer to those allegations but is currently under arrest and awaiting a Dec hearing. Meanwhile Freddie Starr swears he had nothing to do with the whole sorry mess, is deeply offended by allegations from 'head cases', and is hiring private investigators to clear his name. Brits are waiting for the shit to hit the fan in the form of a wave of hi profile celebrity sex arrests!
One head has already hit the chopping block. BBC director general George Entwistle has just stepped down. The BBC dragged it's heels on reporting the Savile story and Entwistle was quoted as saying the controversial broadcast on Savile should never have been broadcast. He was referring to the Newsnight program. He made that statement on Saturday – and a little later the same day gave the following statement "I have decided that the honorable thing to do is to step down." The report wrongly implicated a former Conservative Party official, Alistair McAlpine.

Woman gets year in jail for fake boob job
Everything I know I learned from Octomom
Celebrities like being trend setters. They also like getting plenty of cosmetic surgery. What happens when these two things come together? It might be reality TV in the making, but in this case it's a scandalous news story about a woman who faked cancer in order to get a boob job paid for.
In this case the woman is Jamie Lynn Toler. She organized a fundraiser to get a double mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery. At least that's what she told everyone to get the money out of them. The truth is that she only used the money to get implants. She fessed up to her former boss, grandparents, and mother about the real deal, but that's not where things went horribly wrong. When a compassionate doctor offered to treat her condition for free she was cornered! Upshot is that Jamie got sentenced to a year and three months in the can.
CBS 5 – KPHO
I dunno whether the woman ever did get her fake boobs, but she did get a little famous, & even got a jail sentence. That's the Hollywood ending! There's probably even a "to be continued". Although it is alittle bit sick.
A little bit sick is Hollywood too. Most times that's meant figuratively, as in "sick in the head". However it as often as not means literally as starts get photographed throwing up in bushes and gutters, or staggering around while turning every shade of green. Sometimes it gets even more extreme – like when Justin Bieber & youtube are involved.
The Biebs was down in Arizona, where he treated 18 000 screaming fans to dinner and a show. The dinner was recycled. In the middle of performing "Out of Town Girl" the Biebs had a sudden attack of nausea – like so many will when listening to his music. So there in front of fans the Bieb doubled over and lost his lunch. When it's you or me we can quietly crawl off to some rest room to be alone with our misery. When your Justin Beiber comapny loves misery, so your misfortune gets vodeoed and uploaded to youtube. So now you can see what Beiber looks like when he vomits!
Now that's already become a tumblr gif and not doubt soon an Internet meme.Well the show m ust go on and you have to give Beiber full credit for giving the fans a show when he wasn't 100%, and for not spraying all over them! After all, they came for pop music and not a Gallagher performance! The Beibs even apologized to his fans: "It's hard for me, you know, not feeling great and throwing up in front of a bunch of people. Will you love me even though I'm throwing up on stage?" Don't worry JB, that puke may already be up for bidding on EBay!
It's been a hectic gossip week what with Arnold Schwarzenegger's startling revelations, some of which have helped put Brigitte Nielsen at the top of google search. Short story on that is yes he did her and possibly while he was dating Maria Schriver, but before they were married. He was even the one who intro'd her to Sly Stallone, possibly because she was getting too obsessed and Sly would make a good diversion. That Arnie always covers the angles.
Then there was the shocking story of Sons of Anarchy star Johhny Lewis who murdered his landlady, 81 year old Catherine Davis, outside the Los Feliz residence where he rented a room from her, before jumping to his death. Ms. Davis was kind of a beacon to the local arts community, who'd rented to many famous people over the years. She'd helped many get their start in LA. Johnny on the other hand had a long string of run ins with the law, was described as suffering from "psychopathy", and an alleged user of synthetic drugs like "smiles". He'd also dated Katy Perry and there has been some suggestion that "The One That Got Away" was partly inspired by him.
So while you digest that, Wondertrash will be working on more fresh dirt to be delivered soon.

EMERGING HR TREND: Business Case for Yoga and Meditation
Julie Labrie
What do Arianna Huffington of the Huffington Post Media Group, Mark Bertolini of health insurer Aetna, and companies such as General Mills, Goldman Sachs, Diamler and Volkswagen have in common? They are all new advocates of yoga, meditation, mindfulness and turning work "off" after business hours – all for business growth.
This is a global HR trend we're seeing unfold among some of the world's fastest-growing and most successful companies. Though it may feel counter-intuitive to the conventional "time + work = money" philosophy, these top thought-leaders are establishing a business case for their new approach, backed by data.
In a recent article, the New York Times profiled Mark Bertolini, the chief executive of Aetna, a health insurer and one of American's 100 largest companies by revenue. Following a near-death skiing accident, Mr. Bertolini came to a kind of health-epiphany, and completely restructured the culture of Aetna with a series of enterprising moves. He offered up free yoga and meditation classes to Aetna employees and more than 13,000 workers took him up on his offer and participated. Bertolini then began selling those same classes to his company's contractors for their health insurance.
In addition, after reading "Capital in the Twenty-First Century," by French economist Thomas Piketty, Mr. Bertolini gave his lowest-paid employees a 33 percent raise to fight the economic inequality gap. Not only have these strategic moves given Aetna a healthier work environment, they have transformed a conventional, stodgy health insurance company, into a progressive leader in HR management.
Bertolini's business case for meditation and yoga is that mindfulness leads to less burnout, more creativity and increased productivity.
Sure enough, Aetna's stock has recently hit a record high since the introduction of Mr. Bertonlini's health movement. Since participating in yoga and meditation sessions, employees have reported, on average, a 28 percent reduction in their stress levels, a 20 percent improvement in sleep quality, and 19 percent reduction in pain. Aetna estimates that these improvements have increased yearly productivity by $3,000 per employee.
Adoption of these unconventional practices in the corporate world is part of an emerging a global trend. At the 2015 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, there was a panel called Leading Mindfully that discussed the influence of meditation in the workplace. With companies such as General Mills and Goldman Sachs teaching meditation to their employees, the global business community is starting to recognize this as a verifiable HR trend.
Arianna Huffington, president and editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post Media Group, was a panelist at the forum on Leading Mindfully. During that forum, she was quoted as saying: "Modern science is validating ancient wisdom. We are living through a major tipping point."
Huffington recently came out with the book Thrive: The Third Metric to Redefining Success and Creating a Life of Well-Being, Wisdom, and Wonder. Her philosophy is to focus on thriving rather than measuring up to the traditional indicators of success such as money and power. This process of "thriving" involves building a life around health, well-being, and purpose.
She references companies such as Daimler in Germany, which as instigated a program that automatically deletes emails that are sent to any employee who is on vacation – the sender instead is given contact information for someone on duty who can help. At Volkswagen, employees are given special phones that turn off at 6pm and come back on at 7am every day.
When the promotion of health and mindfulness is backed by an extremely successful, influential, Pulitzer Prize winning executive, the world evidently starts to take notice.

Q: MYSQL Toplist by the sum of teammember points So i would like to make a toplist in mysql.
I have two table, users and teams.
In users I have: id,name,points,teamid
In teams I have: t_id,teamname,leaderid
I would like to make a toplist. The 10 teams with the most points.
I hope it is understandable what I want.

A: You need to calculate the total sum of points by using the subquery which will give you the top 10 points then join this result with a query which has team information with the sum of points for each team,from this approach if there is tie in scores of 2 teams they will be included in top 10 teams regarding the points
select t2.* from
(select t.*,sum(u.points) allpoints
 from teams t
join users u
on(t.t_id= u.teamid)
group by t.t_id
) t2
join
(select sum(points) allpoints
   from users
   group by teamid
   order by allpoints desc
  limit 10) tp
on(t2.allpoints = tp.allpoints )

if you don't care for tie scenario you can simply use limit and order by
select t.*,sum(u.points) allpoints
     from teams t
    join users u
    on(t.t_id= u.teamid)
    group by t.t_id
    order by allpoints desc
    limit 10

Congresswoman Susie Lee Statement on Leaked Supreme Court Roe v. Wade Opinion
Congresswoman Susie Lee (NV-03) issued the following statement concerning the Supreme Court's leaked opinion on Roe v. Wade:
"If confirmed, the Supreme Court's decision to strike down Roe v. Wade will be a loss for women across America with grave consequences. Abortion is still legal, but this is proof that Republicans will stop at nothing to continue their assault on our most fundamental rights. As written, this draft opinion is an affront to the freedom of women to make their own health care decisions, and it will be devastating for families across the country.
The vast majority of Nevadans support Roe, as does the vast majority of Americans, and I continue to stand in solidarity with them. The House has already acted to protect the right to choose, but the Senate needs to act, and they need to act now. The stakes have never been higher, and that's why it's time to repeal the filibuster and get the job done to protect our fundamental rights.
Let me be clear: Reproductive rights are on the line in November, and a Republican majority in Congress will waste no time in banning abortion altogether all across this land—including in states like Nevada where abortion is protected. Elections have consequences, and we must remain vigilant in securing the right to choose at the ballot box and retaining our Democratic majority in Congress. I will never stop fighting to codify abortion rights into federal law and will continue to push back against anti-choice extremism."
Congresswoman Lee's re-election campaign has been endorsed by Planned Parenthood Action Fund, NARAL Pro-Choice America and the National Organization for Women Political Action Committee.

Mannkind
Child Welfare & Rural Developments Services Program
The Children Welfare and Rural Development Services Program offers daycare, primary education, and protection services to children whose parents work in local factories. These factories offer deplorable working conditions and even worse wages, so while the majority of the children at this facility do have parents, their parents struggle daily to make ends meet.
On occasion, when the facility had been able to afford it or if a donation had been made, they would try to incorporate breakfast or lunch meals for the children as many of them would come to the centre hungry and without any food. Mannkind has initiated a meal program for each student at the centre and has also fully funded the program so that it may continue into the future.
Before our involvement, the facility was void of any toys or play areas. Since play is such an integral component of a child's development and happiness, we created a playground for the children.
We have projects going on year-round.

As I dive deeper into my own journey of wholehearted living, I continue to be amazed at the truth and depth in Brene Brown's work. She has created an online learning community based on her work that takes her books to the next level.
Below is a link to a free online course on Trust, one of the pillars of living from a place of authenticity. Please, if possible, invest an hour and dive in. I promise it is worth your time.
The pearls I took from the course the "Anatomy of Trust" are vast. Trust is such an integral part of a relationship but often it's difficult for me to put my finger on exactly why I do or do not trust someone. This course gives us a framework to talk about trust. She has created an acronym that breaks trust down into behaviors. By looking at these behaviors, we can have a more precise conversation around what part of our trust has been broken and what we need to move forward.
Below is the acronym BRAVING. After each letter, there are questions to ask yourself specific to the relationship.
B is for Boundaries. Am I clear about my boundaries and hold them? Does this person honor my boundaries?
R is for Reliability. Can I depend on this person? Do you do what you say you are going to do? (and not only once). Our role in being a trustworthy person is being reliable. That means we must be clear on our limitations so we don't fall short on our commitments.
A is for Accountability. I can only trust you if when you make a mistake you own it, apologize for it and make amends. In addition, I am allowed the same freedom-- Am I allowed to own it, apologize and make amends?
V is for Vault. Is this person trustworthy? (and trustworthy not only with my secrets) Is he/she trustworthy of others secrets too or is he/she a gossip? Does this person share information that is not his/hers to share? What I share with you - will you hold it in confidence? And you must be clear that. What you share with me, will I hold in confidence?
N is for Non-Judgement. Can I fall apart, ask for help and you don't judge me? Real trust doesn't exist if asking for help is not reciprocal and non-judgmental.
G is for Generosity. Can you assume the most generous thing about my words, intentions and behaviors and then check in on me. So, if I mess up, will you call me out on my mess ups? Can I let you know when I am feeling hurt by you?
Please use these notes as a jumping off point to dive deeper into this journey of Trust. Learning how to trust others, how to tell others when you no longer trust them and why is the key to lasting authentic relationships.
Lastly, trust is a two way street. Maybe even three. I have to be able to trust you, you must be able to trust me and I must be able to trust myself. These behaviors can be used as guidepost to learn to trust yourself. To me, one of the most profound statements of the course was the research revealed that "if I can't count on myself, I cannot ask others to give me what I don't have." In other words, if you find yourself in struggle with trust, check with yourself first.
