01 500 birthday of Martin Luther a gospel concert in Nuremberg. One of the many hundred large and small events, which this year in Germany the 500th anniversary of the birth of the great reformer Martin Luther was celebrated. Today, Martin Luther employs historical research, the discussion of Christian faith, Church and society. How to find the grace of God, this question enfremdete Church drove the young Augustiner¬Mönch Luther to protest against the usual sale of bliss against money, against a verweltlichte and their actual tasks. Luther was alone the Bible as God's Word and guide Christian action. From his translation of the old and New Testament contributed significantly to the development of the modern German language. The Roman Church did him as a heretic and unfortunate dissenters in eight and spell. Luther's work no longer is the dialog of the churches in the way. His deep religiosity and the historical effects emanating from him, are recognized by all denominations. And also the policy asks what has to say you Luther. In worms, one of the places where Martin Luther, German Chancellor Helmut Kohl said.
What can contribute to today's questions Luther the Church, society and politics? To the historical underpinning of the discussion, the illusion of a marketplace in the late Middle Ages was designed with contemporary decorations and costumes before 60,000 people in West Berlin. A time of change of the values and the social order. Luther has with sustained and shaped. Luther is undisputed as a signpost for the depth of Christian faith and human freedom of conscience.

02. power of the wind wind mills - relics of a bygone era. Its principle - to use the energy of the wind - is ancient. In Persia were the first wind turbines already 3,000 years ago.
Today, in the age of scarce as energy sources, wind power is experiencing a Renaissance. On the German North Sea coast, a particularly drafty corner, the largest wind turbine in the world was taken. On the first day it blew so violent that politicians, journalists and curious onlookers in a tent sheltered.
Growian - short name for large wind turbine - so towers such as the Cologne Cathedral. The rotor in diameter 100 meters long, to 12 million kilowatt hours to generate a generator - electricity for 4,000 homes. But Growian can replace not power plants. In densely populated industrial States, wind power is today no alternative to power - only an additional source of energy. To test the limits of their economic and technical possibilities - thats the task.
Smaller wind turbines turn again in Northern Germany for a long time. As I said: no nostalgia, but return to a proven principle. Yet, whether 3,000 years ago today: the wind blows only when he wants to.

The pole seat trays must waive daily styling nor as on the regular food. Only good sit they may need to. After all, the old record was 120 hours. Because some people may wonder whether this must be. But the meaning, the question arises not only when stilt sitting.
Every 2 hours must be served for 10 minutes. One is finally over nobody, and you can not fix everything stake out. While the athletes use the pause for relaxation exercises, trappings continues the folk festival.
Still no Pfahlsitzer has been physical damage, the doctor says. Dear people of Psycholo strategic encouragement strengthens the endurance.
Who wants to reach the pole sitting record 122 hours, must separate for this time of the family. At night, the longing is endurance test after the local bed. Even the most dedicated fans early morning not yet are there: another 48 hours to the new record. He has been achieved.
