Friedrich Christoph Oetinger - Понемногу обо всем
Фридрих Кристоф Этингер | Friedrich Christoph Oetinger (2.05.1702 – 10.02.1782) - немецкий лютеранский теологист /богослов и теософер.
Изучал теологию и философию в Тюбингенском университете. Много путешествовал. С 1746 года служил пастором в Вюртемберге.
Самое популярное его наследие - его молитва:
Lord, grant me serenity to accept the things I can not change, give me the courage to change the things I can change, and give me the wisdom to distinguish one from another.
Господи, дай мне спокойствие принять то, чего я не могу изменить, дай мне мужество изменить то, что я могу изменить. И дай мне мудрость отличить одно от другого.
Как утверждают многочисленные свидетели и мемуаристы, текст молитвы висел над рабочим столом президента США Джона Кеннеди.
Авторство текста приписывают и американскому протестантскому теологу Рейнхольду Нибуру (21.06.1892 — 1.06.1971). Но он, скорее всего, подарил молитве второе рождение, адаптировав в 1940 году текст молитвы для реабилитационной программы американского сообщества анонимных алкоголиков.
Ну а актуальным текст остается для любой категории людей вне зависимости от религиозной, национальной и т.п. принадлежности.

Out of Africa.
"So take back the soul of Denys Finch-Hatton...
who you have shared with us.
He brought us joy,
and we loved him well.
He was not ours,
he was not mine."
who you have shared with us.
He brought us joy,
and we loved him well.
He was not ours,
he was not mine."
"Choose Life."
Edinburgh, England heroin addict Mark 'Rent-Boy' Renton (Ewan McGregor) gave a "choose life" diatribe (a voice-over), in two parts. In the film's opening, he narrated as he was pursued by security guards. In the film's closing, he confidently walked through London on a sunny day, vowing to live a traditional life:
Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a f--kin' big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchased in a range of f--kin' fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the f--k you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sittin' on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing f--kin' junk food into your mouth. Choose rottin' away at the end of it all, pissin' your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarassment to the selfish, f--ked-up brats that you've spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life...But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?
Now I've justified this to myself in all sorts of ways. It wasn't a big deal, just a minor betrayal. Or we'd outgrown each other, you know, that sort of thing. But let's face it, I ripped them off-- my so-called mates. But Begbie, I couldn't give a s--t about him. And Sick Boy, well he'd done the same to me, if he'd only thought of it first. And Spud, well okay, I felt sorry for Spud -- he never hurt anybody. So why did I do it? I could offer a million answers, all false. The truth is that I'm a bad person, but that's gonna change. I'm going to change. This is the last of that sort of thing, and I'm cleanin' up and I'm movin' on, going straight and choosin' life. I'm lookin' forward to it already. I'm gonna be just like you: the job, the family, the f--king big television, the washing machine, the car, the compact disc and electrical tin opener, good health, low cholesterol, dental insurance, mortgage, starter home, leisure-wear, luggage, three-piece suite, DIY, game shows, junk food, children, walks in the park, nine to five, good at golf, washing the car, choice of sweaters, family Christmas, indexed pension, tax exemption, clearing the gutters, getting by, looking ahead, the day you die.

Maria Joao Pires plays magical Mozart.
Prom 57, Royal Albert Hall, review: Maria Joao Pires plays magical Mozart - Reviews - Classical - The Independent
Maria João Pires born in Lisbon, Portugal, 23 July 1944 is a Portuguese pianist.
With spirited support from the Chamber Orchestra of Europe under Bernard Haitink’s direction, Pires’s performance was flawless and serene. There was a bloom on her notes as she announced the opening theme, her articulation was pellucid, and her passage-work delicately expressive. Her solos in the plangently lilting Adagio seemed to float in space, and the right-hand runs in the finale were pearlised. The cadenza she played was Mozart’s own, nothing tricksy, just a gentle reinforcement of what had gone before. Fray’s audience had gladly let him go without an encore; Pires didn’t play one either, to the evident disappointment of her fans. Haitink and the COE concluded the evening with a majestic account of Schubert’s ‘Great’ C major symphony.

Extra screen time 'hits GCSE grades'.
Extra screen time 'hits GCSE grades' - BBC News
An extra hour a day of television, internet or computer game time in Year 10 is linked to poorer grades at GCSE, a Cambridge University study suggests.
The researchers recorded the activities of more than 800 14-year-olds and analysed their GCSE results at 16.
Those spending an extra hour a day on screens saw a fall in GCSE results equivalent to two grades overall.
"Reducing screen time could have important benefits," said co-author Dr Esther van Sluijs.
Activity monitored
The researchers analysed the habits of 845 pupils from schools in Cambridgeshire and Suffolk at the age of 14 years and six months.
The pupils heights and weights were recorded, and they had to wear a physical activity monitor for five days including a weekend.
They were also asked to complete a questionnaire detailing the amount of time they spent on:
homework
reading for pleasure
physical activity
watching TV
playing video games
non-homework time online
The researchers correlated the data with the pupils' GCSEs, taken the following year.
Pupils who did an extra hour of homework and reading performed better than their peers, while extra physical activity appeared to have no effect on academic performance.
On average, the 14-year-olds said they spent four hours of their leisure time each day watching TV or in front of a computer.
The researchers found an additional hour of screen-time each day was associated with 9.3 fewer GCSE points at 16 - the equivalent of dropping a grade in two subjects.

Two extra hours of screen-time was associated with 18 fewer points - or dropping a grade in four subjects.
The results also suggested extra time spent watching TV had the most detrimental effect on grades.
Pupils who put in an extra hour of homework or spent the time reading, did better in their GCSEs, scoring 23 points more than the average.
But even if pupils spent more time studying, more time spent watching TV or online, still harmed their results, the analysis suggested.
Extra time on moderate to vigorous physical activity had no effect on academic achievement.
'Reliable snapshot'
"We believe that programmes aimed at reducing screen time could have important benefits for teenagers' exam grades, as well as their health," said Dr Van Sluijs, of the Medical Research Council's Centre for Diet and Activity Research at Cambridge University.
"It is also encouraging that our results show that greater physical activity does not negatively affect exam results.
"As physical activity has many other benefits, efforts to promote physical activity throughout the day should still be a public health priority."
Lead author Dr Kirsten Corder said the measurements taken on the Year 10 pupils represented "a reliable snapshot of participants' usual behaviour".
She added: "So this is roughly equivalent to two grades lower for one subject, one grade lower in two subjects.
"We followed these students over time so we can be relatively confident of our results and we can cautiously infer that TV viewing may lead to lower GCSE results but we certainly can't be certain."
"Further research is needed to confirm this effect conclusively, but parents who are concerned about their child's GCSE grade might consider limiting his or her screen time."
Dr Corder suggested there could be various reasons for the link, including "substitution of television for other healthier behaviours or behaviours better for academic performance, or perhaps some cognitive mechanisms in the brain".
The study is published in the International Journal of Behavioural Nutrition and Physical Activity.
