Reformed Church of Hungary
|
The Reformed Church in Hungary (Hungarian: "Magyarországi Református Egyház", "MRE") is the largest Calvinist church in Hungary.
History.
The Reformation spread to Hungary during the 16th century. In Geneva, Switzerland, John Calvin developed the teachings of the Reformed Church. His followers spread the Reformed (Calvinist) message across Europe.
The Calvinist branch of the Reformation in Hungary adopted two confessions of faith in Debrecen in 1567: the Heidelberg Catechism and the Second Helvetic Confession. From the Synod of Debrecen in 1567, the existence of the Reformed Church of Hungary is officially counted.
Organizational structure.
In Hungary, about 1,200 congregations belong to four church districts and 27 church dioceses. Reformed Christians make up about 16% of the population. The organizational structure of the congregations follows the synodal-presbyterian principle. Each church district is led by a bishop and their lay co-president, the chief elder. Similarly, each church diocese is headed by a dean and a diocesan chief elder, while the leadership of individual congregations consists of the pastor and one or more elders.

Evangelical-Lutheran Church of Hungary
|
The Evangelical-Lutheran Church of Hungary is one of the four major historical churches in Hungary. After the Reformed Church of Hungary, it is the second-largest Protestant church in the country.
The church's members consist of three nationalities: Hungarian, German, and Slovak. In its congregations, it still uses these minority languages in preaching and liturgy.
History.
The establishment of the Evangelical-Lutheran Church in Hungary dates back to the 16th century Western European Reformation. Initially, Luther's teachings dominated in Hungary, but the views of John Calvin and Ulrich Zwingli also became well-known. By the mid-16th century, the followers of the Reformation in Hungary largely adhered to Calvin's teachings. In the 1560s, the supporters of the German and Swiss Reformations eventually split into two separate churches in Hungary: the Reformed and the Evangelical-Lutheran Church.

Self-bondage
|
Self-bondage is the name for a number of techniques people use to restrain themselves. Much like bondage, this is done for sexual arousal. With bondage, people use tools and materials to restrain another person, usually their partner. While there are certain risks associated with bondage in general, these risks are bigger with self-bondage. People do self-bondage alone. People who are doing self-bondage either seek this higher risk, or they want to have to use more uncommon ways of restraining, which are often required when people bind themselves without a partner.
Self bondage is different.
Self-bondage is much like bondage, in many ways:
Types.
There are two very basic types of self-bondage:

Purugupta
|
Purugupta was a king of the Gupta dynasty who ruled northern India from 467 to 473 CE. He was the son of Emperor Kumaragupta I and Queen Anantadevi. Purugupta became emperor after the reign of his half-brother Skandagupta. There are no records directly left by Purugupta, but historians have learned about him from other sources. These include the Bhitari silver-copper seal of his grandson Kumaragupta III and clay seals linked to his sons Narasimhagupta and Budhagupta. An inscription on a Buddha image found at Sarnath shows that Kumaragupta II succeeded him as emperor.

Bawarij Attack in Oman
|
The Bawarij Attack in Oman also referred as the Bawarij Attack in Basrah, was a naval assault carried out by the Bawarij Pirates from India against the Ibadi state of Oman in the ninth century. During this naval attack, the pirates caused the deaths of fifty people in Basrah.
Background.
In the beginning of the ninth century, The Abbasid Caliphate had dispatch a naval invasion to conquer the Ibadi state. However the Abbasid forces were defeated and the Ibadi state mantained independence. Soon, the Ibadi state under the reign of Imam Ghassan had become an unfeigned naval power in Arabia yet his reign was disrupted by raids by the pirates from India. These pirates were known as the "Bawarij".
Raids.
During this period of time, Maritime raids into the Arabian sea and the Arabian gulf was a problem. On March 27, 865 CE, ten deepwater ships called bawarij sailed from al-Basrah. Each of these ten vessels was crewed by a ship's captain, three sailors who hurled fire onto enemy ships, a carpenter, a baker, and thirty-nine rowers and warriors. As a result, each vessel had a total crew of forty-five individuals. That night, the bawarij pirates arrived at the island facing the palace of Ibn Tahir, and later they reached the Shammasiyyah area.
The bawarij pirates on the vessels fired upon the Turks, causing them to relocate their camp from the low-lying area of al-Shammasiyyah to Abū Ja'far's garden near the bridge. It then became apparent to the Turks that they needed to retreat even higher, to a location above their previous camp, in order to escape the fire being thrown at them.
Imam Ghassan had received a letter from Munir, an Ibadhi missionary from Basra. In the letter, Munir deplores the attacks in the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Gulf carried out by the Bawarij pirates from India. In particular, Munir also strongly deplores the killing of fifty people by the Bawarijs during their attack.
Aftermath.
As a response to the problem caused by Bawarij pirates, Imam Ghassan moved to Sohar for 5 years. During his stay in Sohar, he established the first naval force of Oman. This was done to protect the coastal communities and ships of Oman from attacks by Indian pirate raiders known as al-bawārijs, or Bawarijs.

Budhagupta
|
Budhagupta was an emperor of the Gupta dynasty who ruled around 476–495 CE. He succeeded Kumaragupta II and was the son of Purugupta. After Budhagupta's reign, he was succeeded by Narasimhagupta.
Dominions.
Two copper-plate inscriptions found in Damodarpur, a village in Dinajpur district, show that Budhagupta’s empire included Pundravardhana Bhukti, which is roughly modern-day North Bengal. This region was governed by his viceroys, Brahmadatta and Jayadatta. The Sarnath Inscription from 476–77 CE, along with the Varanasi Stone Pillar Inscription from 478–79 CE, confirms that Budhagupta also ruled the Kasi region (modern Varanasi). In 484–85 CE, a flagstaff was set up in honor of Vishnu by Matrivishnu, the ruler of Eran, and his brother Dhanyavishnu while Budhagupta was king. During this time, Surashmichandra was in charge of the land between the Yamuna and Narmada rivers. These records show that Budhagupta’s empire included parts of Central India, Kasi, and North Bengal.

Gupta (King)
|
Gupta was the founder of the Gupta dynasty. He is believed to be the same as King Che-li-ki-to, whose name is thought to be the Chinese transcription of "Shri-Gupta". According to the 7th-century Chinese Buddhist monk I-tsing, Gupta built a temple near a place called Mi-li-kia-si-kia-po-no (Mṛgaśikhāvana) for Chinese pilgrims. This temple was located in eastern India. Based on different interpretations of its location, modern scholars place Gupta's territory in either present-day eastern Uttar Pradesh or the Bengal region.
Name and Date.
Gupta is not known from any inscriptions or coins of his own. The earliest mention of Gupta comes from the "Prayagraj Pillar Inscription" of his great-grandson, Samudragupta. This description is repeated word-for-word in several later records of the Gupta dynasty. Some earlier scholars thought that the founder of the dynasty was named "Shri-gupta," as "Gupta" does not seem like a personal name. However, it is now widely accepted that "Shri" is an honorific title and not part of the king's name. "Gupta" was the actual name of the ruler. The Vishnu Sahasranama includes "Gupta" among the 1008 names of Vishnu, showing that it could be used as a personal name. The name "Gupta" comes from the word "gup", which means "to protect".
Gupta most likely ruled in the second half of the 3rd century, although the exact dates of his reign cannot be determined with certainty based on the available evidence.
Territory.
Some scholars, like D. C. Ganguly and R. C. Majumdar, have interpreted I-tsing's description to suggest that the temple was located more than 40 yojanas east of Nalanda, along the Ganga river, and have identified its location in the present-day Bengal region. Majumdar believed that the name "Mi-li-kia-si-kia-po-no" was a transcription of "Mriga-sthapana", the name of a stupa located in the historical Varendra region of Bengal. According to Ganguly, this suggests that the Gupta dynasty originated in Bengal, while Majumdar argued that it only shows that Bengal was part of Gupta's kingdom.
Other scholars, such as B. P. Sinha and Jagannath Agrawal, interpret Yijing's account of "Mi-li-kia-si-kia-po-no" as a transcription of "Mriga-shikha-vana" and identify it with Mrigadaya (Deer Park) in Sarnath, which is in present-day eastern Uttar Pradesh. Ashvini Agrawal argues that "Mi-li-kia-si-kia-po-no" is not a perfect transcription of "Mriga-sthapana", but rather closer to "Mriga-shikha-vana", and suggests that a different interpretation of Yijing's writings places it in Sarnath. Sinha further theorizes that Hwui-lun mistakenly mentioned its location as being east of Nalanda. These historians propose that the Gupta dynasty likely originated in eastern Uttar Pradesh.

Allobates myersi
|
Myers' poison frog ("Allobates myersi") is a frog. It lives in Colombia. Scientists think it could also live in Peru and Brazil.
Body.
The adult male frog is about 28 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is about 33 mm long. The frog is light brown or medium brown in color with darker brown marks. The chest is blue-gray or dark brown in color. The belly is white in color. The sides of the head and body are blue-black in color. There is a light stripe from the nose over the mouth to where the back legs meet the body. The stripe is cream-white near the nose and yellow near the rear end of the body. There is yellow color near where all four legs meet the body and on the tops of the front legs. Parts of the back legs are red in color. The iris of the eye is gold in color with black marks.
Home.
This frog is awake during the day. It lives on the ground in forests, but people have also seen them on farms. Scientists saw the frog between 100 and 260 meters above sea level.
The frog lives in some protected parks: Parque National Natural Río Pure and Parque National Natural Yaigoje Apaporis.
Young.
The female frog lays her eggs on dead leaves on the ground. Scientists think the male frog watches the eggs. After the eggs hatch, the adult frogs carry the tadpoles to streams.
Danger.
Scientists say this frog is not in danger of dying out. In some places, it is in some danger because human beings change the places where the frog lives to make places for cows to eat grass.

Catholic Church and the Independent State of Croatia
|
Throughout the existence of the Independent State of Croatia (Serbo-Croatian: "Nezavisna Država Hrvatska", NDH) ruled by the pro-Nazi Catholic fascist group Ustaše from April 16, 1941 to May 8, 1945, the Roman Catholic Church played a significant role in the genocides of Croatian Jews, Roma and Serbs committed by the Ustaše regime.
Background.
Alojzije Cardinal Stepinac, then the Archbishop of Zagreb was crucial in the Church's decision to sponsor the Ustaše due to his perception that the Ustaše was the
NDH leadership.
In May 1941, Pope Pius XII met the NDH leader Ante Pavelić – a devout Catholic himself – with Stepinac. It was followed by Pope Pius XII's posting of Giuseppe Ramiro Marcone (1882–1952) as his rep to the NDH, despite Pope Pius XII's clear knowledge of the ongoing genocides of Croatian Jews, Roma and Serbs. Aligned with the Pope's will, Stepinac only disagreed with brutalizing Catholic Jews, but not the vast majority of non-Catholic Jews.
Pogroms.
Pogroms against Croatian Jews, Roma and Serbs were often incited by Catholic priests who hated the presence of non-Catholics in their parishes. To avoid immediate death, many Serbs were forced to convert to Catholicism, while Jews who converted were still killed as the Ustaše regime followed the Nazi racial policies on seeking to wipe out Jews as a race rather than a religion.
Under subordinate bishops' pressure, Stepinac told the Pope that they would ask Pavelić to stop the massacres and forced conversions, while sending Pavelić a different letter in which they asked for neither to stop. Instead, they asked Pavelić to delegate them the conversion authority to make the persecutions look more "humane".
Support for the NDH.
In April 1942, Stepinac visited the Vatican for the second time, when he presented a report to Vatican's State Secretary Luigi Cardinal Maglione that praised the Ustaše regime's crackdown on abortion and pornography, while denying that Ustaše's genocides were planned. The Vatican kept full diplomatic relations with the NDH until its defeat in 1945.
To stay friendly with the Jews, Stepinac arranged for Chief Rabbi Freiburg of Zagreb to write the Pope a letter to thank him for the help, which the Church had not actually offered. Chief Rabbi Freiburg of Zagreb was killed in the Auschwitz concentration camp on 8 May 1943 upon arrival for protesting the Nazi brutalization of his fellow Jews.
Participation in the Holocaust.
Contrary to the common perception that the Roman Catholic Church was opposed to Nazism and the Holocaust, priests and bishops throughout the Church hierarchy were highly sympathetic to them due to classical antisemitism and their belief that Nazi Germany was the "lesser evil".
Within the lower clergy, many Jesuits and Franciscans were Ustaše members, who persecuted or massacred Jews, Roma and Serbs for the Ustaše regime. Some prominent Catholic perpetrators included Ivan Guberina, Mate Mugoš and Franciscan Father Bojanović, while Franciscan Dionizije Juričev and Radoslav Glavaš served as the head of the Religious Section (VO) and head of the Religious Department of the Ministry of Justice and Religion respectively to oversee forced conversions within NDH territory.
Miroslav Filipović-Majstorović, the operator of the Jasenovac concentration camp in which 77,000–99,000 were killed, was a Franciscan. In addition, Catholic priest Božidar Bralo served as the security police chief in Sarajevo to target Jews while Dyonisy Juričev as an Ustaše newspaper editor calling for all bishops to join the Ustaše to kill Jews. 81% of Croatian Jews were killed in the Holocaust.
Critique.
In his 1999 book "Hitler's Pope: The Secret History of Pius XII", British author and journalist John Cornwell pointed out that

LoRa
|
LoRa (short for "Long Range") was created in 2014 by a company called Cycleo to send and receive radio signals that can handle a lot of noise while using very little power. It works by turning data into special sounds called "chirps". Each chirp is a signal that changes its frequency over time. This makes it very resistant to noise as these chirps use many pitches and last a long time which allows for more opportunities to decode them. However, this also means sending data with LoRa can take a lot more time, so it is commonly used for only sending small messages.

Roman Catholics and antisemitism in the 21st century
|
According to historians, many Christians have had some antisemitic ideas since early Christianity. For instance, the Church used to teach that all Jews were to blame for Jesus' death. In 1965, Pope Paul VI declared that these ideas were wrong. However, in the 21st century, antisemitism still exists in some Roman Catholic communities.
Background.
Classical antiquity.
In 380 AD the Roman Empire made Christianity its state religion. The Catholic Church also became its state church. These antisemitic ideas became common in many European kingdoms during the first millennium:
Some European kingdoms created government policies based on these ideas, according to many historians. These policies caused over a thousand years of persecution towards Jews, according to these historians, including:
20 years after the Holocaust ended, the Catholic Church went through a reform to address this issue, though antisemitism still exists among some Catholic communities.
20th century.
Second Vatican Council (Vatican II).
In 1965, Pope Paul VI wrote a document called the "Nostra aetate". It rejected the Church's old antisemitic ideas. For example, it said that Jews were not to blame for Jesus' death:
The Pope also said that Catholics should respect Jews, and the Church should reconcile with them. Vatican II caused division within the Roman Catholic Church. Some conservative Catholics believed the Church's traditional ways should not be changed. Radical traditionalist Catholics were formed to oppose the Vatican II reforms. Most of these groups are still active in the 21st century.
2000 apology.
On behalf of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope John Paul II made a brief apology on March 12, 2000 for the "errors" and "violence" that some Catholics committed towards Jews throughout history. Academics are uncertain whether John Paul II was talking about the Crusades, the Inquisition, the burning of alleged heretics, or forced conversions to Christianity. Israel's Chief Rabbi Meir Lau said he felt "deeply frustrated" because the Church never mentioned the Holocaust by name.
Radical traditionalist Catholics.
The American civil rights group Southern Poverty Law Center identified 13 radical traditionalist Catholic organizations active in the English-speaking world: The Fidelity Press, the Remnant, St. Joseph Forum, Tradition in Action, Legion of St. Louis, St. Michael's Parish, Society of St. Pius X, Catholic Counterpoint, Catholic Family Ministries, Omni Christian Book Club, Catholic Apologetics International, International Fatima Rosary Crusade and Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Antisemitism is a key part of these organizations' belief systems, according to the SPLC.
Some radical traditionalist Catholics are considered Holocaust deniers.
According to the SPLC, Traditional Catholics believe that:
Influential radical traditionalist Catholic groups.
Society of St. Pius X.
Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) is one of the largest radical traditionalist Catholic organizations in the world. French archbishop Marcel-François Lefebvre founded it in Ecône, Switzerland in 1970 to resist the liberalized Roman Catholic Church. Lefebvre was a supporter of the Nazi puppet state Vichy France. He said that the liberation of France was the "victory of Freemasonry against the Catholic order of Petain."
In 1992, E. Michael Jones wrote an article in his magazine "Fidelity" about an SSPX leader in Kansas City. He said the leader worshiped Adolf Hitler and promoted Nazism to his students.
The Vatican tried to mediate with the SSPX over their different beliefs, but the SSPX refused. The Catholic Church excommunicated them in 1988, but reversed their excommunication in 2009.
The SSPX has become the biggest Catholic publisher of Holocaust-denying materials. Some countries, including Canada, ban SSPX publications.
Scholars estimated that in 2016, the SSPX had 103 chapels, 25 private schools, and up to 30,000 followers. As of October 2024, the organization had 700 priests worldwide. Of these priests, 180 were based in France; they operated 250 places of worship and hosted at least 35,000 attendees.
Richard Williamson.
Richard Williamson (March 8, 1940 – January 25, 2025) is an SSPX bishop who publicly denied the Holocaust several times. He said there were no gas chambers in the Auschwitz concentration camp. He also claimed that "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" were true and insisted that fewer than 300,000 Jews had died in the Holocaust in a Swedish TV interview. As a result, he was fined €10,000 in Germany for Holocaust denial.
At first, the Catholic Church excommunicated Williamson. However, they later cancelled the excommunication and made Williamson a bishop again. This created controversy over the influence of radical traditionalist Catholics within the Church hierarchy.
Influence on U.S. politics.
In 2022 – 57 years after Pope Paul VI's "Nostra aetate") – 11% of American Catholics still blamed Jews for the Crucifixion of Jesus, according to a poll by the Institute for Jewish-Catholic Relations. The poll also found that 13.3% of these Catholics thought Jews are "cursed by God". Additionally, 15.8% believed that God's covenant with Jews had ended.
FBI memo incident.
In April 2024, the FBI was forced to withdraw an internal memo on antisemitic violence committed by radical traditionalist Catholics. This happened because some conservative Republican Congress members publicly opposed the memo and misrepresented the FBI's moves as "persecution of Catholics".
In one case the FBI had handled, a young SSPX member was arrested for the illegal possession of 6 smoke bombs; 8 molotov cocktails; parts of a Glock 19 pistol; a lower parts kit for the pistol; a 3D-printed Glock 19 frame; a magazine; and 9mm ammunition. This individual claimed to be "anti-Zionist" and "anti-progressive".
Later, a 120-day congressional review found no evidence that the FBI was biased against Catholics.
Expansion.
A rising number of American Catholic churches have drifted towards radical traditionalist Catholicism, rejecting the Vatican II that renounced antisemitism. Radical traditionalist Catholic organizations, like the FOCUS and Newman Centers, have also seen a massive spike in youth membership and viewership of their allied cable TV networks (like EWTN).
Academics.
Some scholars with Catholic backgrounds promote antisemitic ideas.
Marek Jan Chodakiewicz.
Marek Jan Chodakiewicz (born July 15, 1962) is an American historian who identified himself as Catholic. Chodakiewicz has promoted controversial views about the Holocaust, including:
Many historians, including Princeton University history professor Jan T. Gross and University of Toronto Polish history professor Piotr Wróbel, criticized Chodakiewicz. They said that Chodakiewicz had written several pieces that trivialized the Holocaust and the violent antisemitism of many Polish Catholics. In his 2003 book "After the Holocaust: Polish Jewish Relations in the Wake of World War II," he underestimated the number of Jews that Polish Catholics had killed in post-war pogroms. He also accused many of the victims of being "Jewish Communists".
Chodakiewicz also appeared in traditionalist Catholic media, such as "Radio Maryja", promoting conspiracy theories about Jews. In a 2001 interview by this radio, he accused "Jewish memoirists" of "bragging about" the shooting of hundreds of Poles by "Jewish partisans". Despite Chodakiewicz's record of antisemitic writings, US President George W. Bush made him a member of the oversight board of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) in Washington, D.C. He served on the board until 2010.
Inquisition denial.
Background.
In 1229, Dominicans in Rome set up the permanent Inquisition to persecute heretics and non-Christians, especially Jews. Meanwhile, the Spanish Inquisition was founded in 1478 and run until 1834, during which the Catholic Spanish Empire unleashed a systematic campaign of persecution of Jews, due to its racist belief that Jews who converted to Catholicism ("conversos") were mostly faking as Christians, including those forcibly converted following the Alhambra Decree, or the Edict of Expulsion. As many as 300,000 Jews under Catholic Spanish rule were killed over false charges of "crypto-Judaism," a charge slapped on Jews who were forcibly converted.
The Vatican.
In 2004, the Roman Catholic Church claimed that the judges of the Inquisition were "not as brutal as previously believed" and that most trials "were not carried out by Catholic courts". The church that , They also added that the victims on trial were often "tortured for only 15 minutes in the presence of doctors".
Spain.
For the past decade, Catholic-led movements within Spain (67.4% Catholic in 2018) have emerged to rewrite the history of the Spanish Inquisition. Members of the movements released a series of books, films, TV programs and mobile exhibitions to beautify the Inquisition-associated Spanish history. Meanwhile, a 2023 ADL poll found that 26% of Spain's population held extensive antisemitic beliefs,
followed by Belgium (24%), France (17%), Germany (12%) and the UK (10%).
In 2024, Spanish Jews make up 0.093% of Spain's population of 48,370,000. In April, the Observatory for Religious Freedom and Conscience found that at least 36 attacks had happened to Spanish Jews between 7 October 2023 and 19 April 2024, about six attacks per month. In July, the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights found that 78% of Spanish Jews saw antisemitism as a big problem in Spain.
Responses.
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).
On December 11, 2024, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishop (USCCB) announced the adoption of the "Translate Hate: The Catholic Edition" drafted together with the American Jewish Committee (AJC) in response to worsening antisemitism in America since 7 October 2023.
As of December 30, 2024, the 1985 revision of the USCCB "Guidelines for Catholic-Jewish Relations" is still in place. The "General Principles" of the "Guidelines" include but not limited to

Meshtastic
|
Meshtastic is a decentralized protocol to send long range messages between devices while also using very little power. When a user wants to send a message to the network, they use a technique called LoRa to broadcast their message to their neighbors. Each neighbor then repeats this process until the maximum number of hops is achieved. Because each user is part of the "mesh", it does not require existing existing infrastructure such as cell towers, so it is very useful for emergency scenarios or in remote areas. Users can also setup encrypted channels for better privacy or security.
To join Meshtastic, users will require a LoRa transmitter/receiver chip and a microprocessor to communicate with it, which is easily purchased as a commercially available board such as the HeltecV3 .

Analog horror
|
Analog horror is a type of found footage story. It makes the viewer feel like they are part of the horror. It became popular on YouTube around 2010 because it is cheap and easy to make. It uses old videos, sounds, and images changed to look scary. People can make it without expensive equipment.
Examples.
Examples of analog horror include "The Walten Files", "The Monument Mythos", and "Local 58". In "The Walten Files", old tapes show terrible events hidden by a company. "The Monument Mythos" tells a made-up history where James Dean becomes a leader like a dictator. "Local 58" shows a world where the government gives up to strange, otherworldly forces. These stories have puzzles and secrets, and they do not explain everything. Viewers must figure out what the stories mean for themselves.

Vienna Football Association
|
The Vienna Football Association (Germanː WFV-Wiener Fußball-Verband) is the leading body of football in the federal state of Vienna.
History.
In the beginning football in Vienna was organized by the Lower Austrian Football Association because Vienna was then part of Lower Austria. After lengthy discussions, the "Separation Act" was passed at the end of 1921 and Vienna became its own federal state on January 1, 1922. This also had an impact on the association and on February 15, 1923 it was divided into the Vienna Football Association and the Lower Austrian Football Association. The first president of the Vienna Football Association was Ignaz Abeles, who was the founding president of the NÖFV in 1911. During the economically difficult period between the wars, the clubs tried to stay afloat primarily through foreign tours. On March 13, 1937, the Vienna Association held its last general meeting for many years. In March 1938 Austria became part of Nazi-Germany. After professional football was abolished, a Gauliga was founded.
A few days before the end of the war, on May 2, 1945, the first meeting of the Vienna Football Association took place under the leadership of Karl Zankl. The first round of the championship in the new Austria kicked off on September 1st and the first champions were once again Rapid. The big change came in 1949. The 1948/49 season was the last in which the "big clubs" took part in the Vienna championship. At an extraordinary meeting, the clubs decided to withdraw from the Vienna Association and found the State League. The "Austrian State League" was absorbed into the ÖFB on July 31, 1949 and the dominance of the Vienna Football Association was over.

Greeting card
|
A greeting card is a card which is sent as a greeting or to get special attention. There are cards for different occasions, such as a birthday, or Christmas, ther birth, or baptizing of a child, being successful at an exam, etc. There are different designs of these cards. The simples one is that of a postcard: one side contains a photo, or an illustration, the other side has space for the address of the recipient, and a personalized message. Another designs uses bigger cards, which are folded, and which are sent inside an envelope: in this case, the 'inside' of the card is for the personal message, and the rescipient and postage stamp are put on the envelope.
History.
The custom of sending greeting cards can be traced back to the ancient Chinese who exchanged messages of good will to celebrate the New Year, and to the early Egyptians, who sent their greetings on papyrus scrolls. By the early 15th century, handmade paper greeting cards were exchanged in Europe. The Germans are known to have printed New Year's greetings from woodcuts as early as 1400, and handmade paper Valentines were being exchanged in various parts of Europe in the early to mid-15th century. The oldest Valentine in existence is in the British Museum. The card was written to Bonne of Armagnac by her husband, Charles Duke of Orleans, who was imprisoned in the Tower of London at the time. Not surprisingly, its message is rather downbeat. Its opening reads: ‘I am already sick of love / my very gentle Valentine.’
By the 1850s, the greeting card had been transformed from a relatively expensive, handmade and hand-delivered gift to a popular and affordable means of personal communication. Aadvances in printing, mechanization, and a reduction in postal rates with the introduction of the postage stamp made this possible. This was followed by new trends like Christmas cards. The first Christmas cards appeared in published form in London in 1843 when Sir Henry Cole hired artist John Calcott Horsley to design a holiday card that he could send to his friends and acquaintances. In the 1860s, inventor Hugh Pierce Jr., inspired by the Christmas card, invented the Birthday card. Companies like Marcus Ward & Co, Charles Goodall & Son, and Charles Bennett began the mass production of greeting cards. They employed well-known artists such as Kate Greenaway and Walter Crane as illustrators and card designers. The extensive Laura Seddon Greeting Card Collection from the Manchester Metropolitan University gathers 32,000 Victorian and Edwardian greeting cards and 450 Valentine's Day cards dating from the early nineteenth century, printed by the major publishers of the day.
Technical developments like color lithography in 1930 propelled the manufactured greeting card industry forward. Humorous greeting cards, known as studio cards, became popular in the late 1940s and 1950s.
In the 1970s, Recycled Paper Greetings, a small company needing to establish a competing identity against the large companies like Hallmark Cards, began publishing humorous, whimsical card designs with the artist's name credited on the back. This was away from what was known as the standard look.
During the 1980s, reduced costs of small batch printing and die cutting together with a growing taste for handmade cards made it economically possible for smaller niche companies to set up in competition with the large established brands. Innovative companies such as Nobleworks and Meri Meri grew from their foundation in the 1980s to becoming significant influencers in the industry. A thriving market was established for what were now called "alternative" greeting cards. The name stuck even though these "alternative" cards grew to embrace a vast range of styles and ultimately changed the look of the industry.
The largest recorded number of greeting cards sent to a single person went to Craig Shergold, a beneficiary/victim of chain letters and later chain emails.

Hungarian Pentecostal Church
|
The Hungarian Pentecostal Church is a Pentecostal Christian denomination.
History.
In 1900, a young Methodist pastor in the United States, Charles F. Parham, deeply studied the Acts of the Apostles and Paul's letters, seeking the miraculous signs of early Christianity. He concluded that there was a spiritual secret lost to modern churches. In Topeka, Kansas, he established a Bible school to investigate this. After studying the Acts, students identified speaking in tongues as evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. On New Year’s Eve 1900, Agnes N. Ozman spoke in tongues, marking the start of modern Pentecostalism.
W.J. Seymour an African American pastor, preached about the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in a small Los Angeles church. After one of his sermons, he was invited to continue preaching in a woman’s home. On April 9, 1906, during one of these gatherings, attendees experienced the baptism of the Holy Spirit, praying and singing in tongues. This event marked the beginning of the Azusa Street Revival, a pivotal moment in the Pentecostal movement.
The building at 312 Azusa Street became the most famous site of the Pentecostal movement. During the revival, which lasted over three years, countless people experienced the grace of the Holy Spirit's outpouring. Simultaneously, Pentecostal awakenings independently ignited worldwide in other places, including the Armenian Presbyterian Church, India, and Chile. In Chile, the movement started within the Methodist Church through the efforts of Pastor W.C. Hoover. These events marked the global expansion of Pentecostalism.
The establishment of the church in Hungary.
In Hungary, the Pentecostal movement's early pioneers included returning prisoners of war from World War I and emigrants coming back from the United States. Among the Hungarian soldiers captured during the war, some encountered Spirit-filled believers while in captivity, bringing these spiritual experiences back to their homeland.
The founding conference of the Pentecostal church in Hungary was held from February 5 to February 9, 1928, in Kispest at Villany Street 6. Representatives from eight congregations adopted the founding principles, electing leaders for a year, with Dávid F. Rároha chosen as president. Over the following years, more congregations joined the movement, growing from 15 in 1929 to 70 by 1932. That year, the organization's name changed to the "Assemblies of God Association in Hungary," with long-term leadership provided by István Siroky, József Tomi, and József Fábián.
On December 2, 1939, the Hungarian Royal Minister of the Interior issued a decree (No. 363.500/1939. VII.a) titled "Termination of Activities of Sects Endangering National Defense Interests." This decree banned Pentecostal church services, along with several other small denominations. From then until the end of World War II, Pentecostal congregations operated under the protection of Lutheran, Baptist, and Methodist churches.
After World War II, Pentecostal congregations continued under various denominations, including the Evangelical Pentecostal Church, Evangelical Christian Congregations, and the Ancient Christian Denomination. In 1962, the Evangelical Pentecostal Church merged with the Evangelical Christians to form the Evangelical Pentecostal Community.
On April 9, 2011 the Evangelical Pentecostal Community decided to change its name to the Hungarian Pentecostal Church, which remains its official name today.

Santa Ana, Manila
|
The district of Santa Ana, Manila (traditionally shortened to "Sta. Ana") had its original name as "Meysapan" (or "Sapa", meaning a marsh) and ruled by the ancient Tagalog Kingdom of Namayan. The kingdom’s domain stretched from what is now Mandaluyong, Makati, Pasay, and the Manila districts of Pandacan and Paco. It was given by the Spanish conquerors to the Franciscan missionaries from Spain in 1578, and subsequently named it "Santa Ana de Sapa" ("Saint Anne of the Marshes"), dedicated to Saint Anne, the mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The sound of its ancient name, "Namayan", had a similar sound to "Ana", which may have been its basis.

Smog tower
|
Smog towers, or smog-free towers, are big structures that work like air cleaners to reduce pollution in the air. They clean the air by removing small particles like soot and need energy or power to work.
World’s first air cleaning tower.
The world's first smog-free tower was made by a Dutch artist named Daan Roosegaarde. It was shown to people in September 2015 in Rotterdam. Later, similar towers were set up or toured in Beijing and Tianjin, China, Kraków, Poland, Anyang, South Korea, and Abu Dhabi. The tower is 7 meters (23 feet) tall and uses special technology called positive ionization. It can clean 30,000 cubic meters of air every hour.

Allobates sanmartini
|
The San Martin rocket frog ("Allobates sanmartini") is a frog that lives in Venezuela.
Home.
Scientists think this frog lives in tropical forests. Scientists first saw the frog in exactly one place, 70 meters above sea level.
There are protected parks in the place where the frog lives: Caura National Park and Jaua-Sarisariñama National Park.
Young.
Scientists think this frog has young the way other frogs in "Allobates" do: The female frog lays her eggs on the ground. After the eggs hatch, the adult frogs carry the tadpoles to water.
Danger.
Scientists do not know if this frog is in danger of dying out. But it lives in the Caura River Basin, where people cut down many trees to get wood to build with, make towns, and dig in the ground for good rocks and metal. Some of these digs are legal and some are not.

Generation Beta
|
Generation Beta (often known as Gen Beta) is the proposed name for the generation after Generation Alpha. The name was created by futurist and demographer Mark McCrindle, who purposes that this generation is meant for people born between 2025 to 2039. However, researchers have not yet formed a general consensus as to the generation's birth years.
Generation Beta is named after the second letter of the Greek alphabet. The name has faced criticism from the media, with the term "Beta" being seen as an insult implying weakness and passiveness, leading some to suggest a different name be chosen for the generation. McCrindle expects its members to mainly be the children of young Millennials and Generation Z.

Kingdom of Galicia in historiography
|
The medieval Galician Kingdom, first known as the "Suebian Kingdom of Gallaecia", started with the Germanic Suebi tribe in the 5th century. This kingdom once included parts of today's Asturias, León and Portugal. It had Christian traditions even during Islamic rule in nearby areas.
As history was recorded over the centuries, some modern historians altered the narrative around the medieval Kingdom of Galicia. Instead of using the varied names found in historical documents —such as ""Gallaecia Regnum", "Gallitia", "Gallizia", "Galizuland", "ard Galika", "Yilliqiyya", "Jalikia"", etc. — they sometimes replaced these with ""Kingdom of Asturias" or "Kingdom of León"".
For some Galician scholars, this change was part of an effort to create a continuous historical line leading to the later Kingdom of Castile and eventually to a unified Spain.
Those scholars have criticized this view because it doesn't match the historical facts. Sometimes, even the historians who hold this view have admitted this issue.

Oversimplification
|
A design choice usually made by companies that involves making the front-end UI overly simple and very modernized. It tends to involve adding rounded corners and removing detail, alongside other modern design aspects. This can be seen in Google Chrome, Microsoft Windows, and many other user interfaces designed by big companies.
Reasoning.
The reasoning behind this phenomenon is relative. One reason is that when web 2 was beginning and the internet was becoming more mainstream, companies wanted their logos to feel natural and more inviting, not digital, so they added 3D effects to their logos (e.g. the reflection on the pre-2011 YouTube logo.). Once most people became used to the internet and it became more mainstream, they started making their logos more modern and simple. This results in oversimplification.
Another reason is that companies wanted their logo to stand out in advertisements, and also while the internet was becoming mainstream, logos were important to establish a website and make it memorable. Now for widespread companies, their logos usually are already known and don't need to be displayed as much on websites, resulting in the removal of detail from their logos.
Examples.
Some examples of oversimplification are:
- Google Chrome removing their Trapezoidal Tabs
- YouTube removing the 3D glare of their logo

Death and state funeral of Jimmy Carter
|
On December 29, 2024, Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States and the recipient of the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize for his post-presidential work, died at his home in Plains, Georgia, after nearly two years in hospice care. At the age of 100 years, 89 days, Carter was the longest-lived U.S. president in history and the only president to have turned 100 years old.
Background.
After many years of health problems, such as being diagnosed with melanoma that metastasized to his brain and liver, the Carter Center announced on February 18, 2023, that Carter was staying at home to receive hospice care instead of more medical help. The following week after the announcement, it was said that Carter's close family members had come to his home in Georgia to spend his final days with him, although local news reported four months later that Carter was "in great spirits, visiting with family and still enjoying ice cream".
Death.
On December 29, 2024, Carter died at his home in Plains, Georgia. Carter's son, James E. Carter III, announced his death at 3:45 p.m. EST. Carter was the first Democratic president to die since Lyndon B. Johnson, who died in 1973.
Reactions.
President Joe Biden said that "America and the world lost an extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian", and president-elect Donald Trump said Carter "did everything in his power to improve the lives of all Americans." In an address from Saint Croix, Biden said that Carter was a "remarkable leader".
Former presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton paid tribute to Carter. Other world leaders such as French president Emmanuel Macron, European Council president António Costa, Dutch prime minister Dick Schoof, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, Egyptian president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Panamanian president José Raúl Mulino, Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, British prime minister Keir Starmer, King Charles III, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Cuban president Miguel Diaz-Canel, Bangladeshi Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus, Japanese prime minister Shigeru Ishiba, German chancellor Olaf Scholz and Hungarian prime minster Viktor Orban released statements mourning Carter. Senator Bernie Sanders, for whom Carter voted during the 2016 Democratic Party presidential primaries, stated that "Jimmy Carter, both for what he did as president and in his later years, will be remembered as a decent, honest and down-to-earth man."
In Carter's home state of Georgia, political leaders such as Governor Brian Kemp, former U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler, the state's congressional delegation and many others by both Republicans and Democrats in Georgia released statements.
A moment of silence was held for Carter at the United Nations Security Council on December 30.
Funeral.
Georgia memorial.
On the morning of January 4, 2025, Carter's remains were taken by motorcade to Atlanta from Phoebe Sumter Medical Center in Americus, Georgia. The motorcade traveled to the Jimmy Carter National Historical Park in Plains and stopped at the house Carter and wife Rosalynn built and lived since 1962. It then travelled to his boyhood home in nearby Archery, where the National Park Service saluted him, and the farm's bell rang 39 times in honor of him being the 39th U.S. President. It then made its way to Atlanta, where his service as Governor of Georgia was honored at the Georgia State Capitol with a moment of silence led by Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, Lt. Governor Burt Jones, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, and members of the Georgia General Assembly. Carter's remains were then taken to the Carter Center. He lay in repose at the Carter Center from January 4 to 7.
Washington D.C. memorial services.
On January 7, Carter's remains were taken from the Carter Center to Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Marietta, and were then flown to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. Carter's remains were given a 21-gun salute while "Hail to the Chief" played. While the U.S. Air Force Band played a version of "Abide With Me", Carter's remains were then taken by motorcade to the United States Navy Memorial. Following another ruffles and flourishes ceremony where a Navy band played "Hail to the Chief" and the hymn "Just As I Am," the casket was taken to a horse-drawn carriage for a funeral procession to the United States Capitol while traveling with military members along the route which Carter took during his 1977 inaugural parade. The transfer site honored Carter's place as the only United States Naval Academy graduate to become president.
A service at the U.S. Capitol was attended by Vice President Kamala Harris, members of Congress, the Supreme Court, Governors, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, the Cabinet, ambassadors, and the Joint Chiefs was held for Carter.
