John the Baptist Begins His Ministry
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar,#Or "the emperor Tiberius" when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Iturea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene, 2in the time of the high priest Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness. 3And he went into all the surrounding region of the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, 4as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah,
"The voice of one crying out in the wilderness,
'Prepare the way of the Lord,
make his paths straight!
5Every valley will be filled,
and every mountain and hill will be leveled,
and the crooked will become straight,
and the rough road will become#*Here "will become" is an implied repetition of the verb earlier in the verse smooth,
6and all flesh will see the salvation of God.' "#A quotation from Isa 40:3–5
7Therefore he was saying to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, "Offspring of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance! And do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as father.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones! 9And even now the ax is positioned at the root of the trees; therefore every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."
10And the crowds were asking him, saying, "What then should we do?" 11And he answered and#*Here "and" is supplied because the previous participle ("answered") has been translated as a finite verb said to them, "The one who has two tunics must share with the one who does not have one,#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation and the one who has food must do likewise." 12And tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, "Teacher, what should we do?" 13And he said to them, "Collect no more than what you are ordered to."#Literally "what is ordered to you" 14And those who served in the army were also asking him, saying, "What should we also do?" And he said to them, "Extort from no one, and do not blackmail anyone,#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation and be content with your pay."
15And while#*Here "while" is supplied as a component of the temporal genitive absolute participle ("were waiting expectantly") the people were waiting expectantly and all were pondering in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he might be the Christ,#Or "Messiah" 16John answered them all, saying, "I baptize you with water, but the one who is more powerful than I am is coming, of whom I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 17His winnowing shovel is in his hand, to clean out his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his storehouse, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
18So with many other exhortations also he proclaimed good news to the people. 19But Herod the tetrarch, who had been reproved by him concerning Herodias, his brother's wife, and concerning all the evil deeds that Herod had done, 20added this also to them all: he also locked up John in prison.
The Baptism of Jesus
21Now it happened that when all the people were baptized, Jesus also was baptized, and while he#*Here "while" is supplied as a component of the temporal genitive absolute participle ("was praying") was praying, heaven was opened, 22and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came from heaven, "You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased."
The Genealogy of Jesus Christ
23And Jesus, when he#*Here "when" is supplied as a component of the participle ("began") which is understood as temporal began his ministry,#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation was himself about thirty years old, being the son (as it was believed) of Joseph the son of Eli, 24the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph, 25the son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai, 26the son of Maath, the son of Mattathias, the son of Semein, the son of Josech, the son of Joda, 27the son of Joanan, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri, 28the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmadam, the son of Er, 29the son of Joshua, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, 30the son of Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonam, the son of Eliakim, 31the son of Melea, the son of Menna, the son of Mattatha, the son of Nathan, the son of David, 32the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Sala, the son of Nahshon, 33the son of Amminadab, the son of Admin, the son of Arni, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah, 34the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor, 35the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah,#Greek "Sala" 36the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, 37the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalaleel, the son of Cainan, 38the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.

I am in the process of stripping and repainting my old Volkscycle, and want to set it up as a dedicated tourer/utility bike. In my early years (many, many moons ago) it served me well for fully loaded touring with a double butted CroMo frame and nice comfy geometry. Over the years I have upgraded the following major parts:
Bottom bracket (early model sealed Phil Wood, still spins like the day I purchased)
Shifters (from stem mount to bar end)
Crankset (early model Biopace road triple that I like to this day)
Brakes are still original DuraAce centerpulls, wheels are original Araya Satin 27" rims with Sunshine hubs. The rims have seen better days cosmetically, and I'm thinking about moving up to 700c to handle a wider tire. The brakes will handle the rim size difference no problem. Any suggestions as to reasonable priced rims or wheelsets to find new or used? TIA for your inputs....

Work could begin February on fully funded Harper pier
SOUTH KITSAP — Folks could be enjoying a new Harper pier by summertime.
The Port of Bremerton nailed down funding needed to replace the rickety old Mosquito Fleet dock, which was closed in November and razed in February. The Legislature allocated $800,000 from the capital budget July 1. An additional $500,000 became available when more highly rated projects fell off the list for Fish and Wildlife Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account grants because they didn't have matching funds.
The pier's estimated construction cost is $1.2 million, said Port CEO Tim Thomson.
Permits are in the pipeline, including one seeking a shoreline variance. The final design calls for a 10-foot-wide by 40-foot-long float at the end of the pier for boaters. Eight feet is the maximum legal width. Ten feet would provide more stability, Thomson said. Construction is expected to begin in February and take four months.
"It's fallen into place very nicely," Thomson said.
The project will feature an 8-foot-wide, 380-foot-long catwalk leading to a 15-foot-wide by 60-foot-long pier. A 6-foot-wide by 80-foot-long gangway will double back and drop down to the float. Though the pier is fully funded, the port must pay a 10 percent match — about $122,500.
Had the project not climbed up the grant list, the port faced a decision whether to spend more of its money, scale down the pier or phase it in.
Adam Cole, outdoor grant manager with the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office, said three projects that were slated to receive ALEA funding no longer are. Typical reasons include an agency losing interest in a project, the project not being feasible, matching funds not being available or permission from the landowner not received in time, he said.
The three projects were Merrill Lake shoreline in Lewis County, Edmonds fishing pier renovation and Clover Island Riverwalk in Kennewick.
The community is getting everything it asked for, said Jim Heytvelt, chairman of Friends of Harper Pier.
It wanted the pier to be completely ADA accessible, which is required. It requested power outlets so squid fishermen wouldn't plug lights into noisy generators at night, and LED lights along the catwalk and pier to cut energy costs and eliminate pollution from pole lights. A two-level float will accommodate kayaks and canoes on a low side and bigger boats on a high side. A beveled, wooden top "fisherman's rail" will restore some of the old dock's charm.
"The community's excited," said Heytvelt, who lives nearby on Harper Hill Road. "If everything clicks and nothings falls down the cracks, we're hoping we'll be good for the opening of crabbing season next summer."

I was at work Monday and had cramps. my cramps got really bad so I called my doctor. She told me to go home and put my feet up but they got so severe I went to the hospital. My "cramps" started coming every three minutes so I realized they were contractions. After being in the waiting room for two hours they had moved to every 2 minutes. I finally got into a room and thr doctor told me there was still hope. I said "still hope?! For what??" I thought they could fix it or make them stop or something but there was nothing they could do. I sat in pain for several hours and eventually my water broke and I gave birth. The doctors at the hospital told me " thats life taking its course " I just want awnsers ..I need some sort or closure. I went to get test done by my OBGYN to find more out. Im curious if anyone else has gone through this or if they know anything.. I did everything right. Well I tried to.. no smoking drinking vitamins good food I just dont understand..

Im so sorry!
Sounds like me last year at this time. I was having cramps at 16 weeks and I thought it was just stretching, nope I was dialting. Turns out I have incompentent cervix and they need to do a cerclage every pregnancy. I cant tell when I am in preterm labor until its too late.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I did go though what you went through and it sounds like you have an incompetent cervix like I do (and many other women on this board and the cervical incompetent board). I delivered my son at 18 weeks due to my cervix dilating too early. I was hoping and praying that they could stop my labor as well but they couldn't as I was already dilated 3cm when I got to the hospital. They generally don't stop your labor if you are contracting until you reach viability at 23-24 weeks. I'm sorry we all are a part of this board but we are learning from each other and I can appreciate that. PAN me a note if you would like to talk more. Prayers to you and your family....

I'm so sorry for your loss! I'm the same as well, lost my son at 18 weeks because I dilated too early. By the time I went into the ER I was 5 cm and same as above, my baby was too young to save. They had to induce labor with misoprostal and I gave birth to him 4 hours later. I miss him everyday!! I'm going to the fertility doc tomorrow, hopefully I can get some needed info to share with u all. Take care!!

The hospital — one of the largest and most comprehensive in the country, with nearly 2,600 beds — ranks third in the nation for cardiology and heart surgery, nephrology, and neurology and neurosurgery.
For the 13th consecutive year, NewYork-Presbyterian is included on U.S. News' prestigious Honor Roll, which, according to the magazine, "recognizes hospitals for their rare breadth and depth of excellence." Only 18 hospitals made this year's Honor Roll, out of nearly 5,000 nationwide.
In the 2013-14 survey, NewYork-Presbyterian is nationally ranked in 15 out of the 16 specialties assessed. In addition to ranking third in cardiology and heart surgery, nephrology, and neurology and neurosurgery, four specialties are ranked in the top 10: diabetes and endocrinology (No. 7), gastroenterology and GI surgery (No. 7), psychiatry (No. 4) and urology (No. 5). The hospital also ranked in cancer; ear, nose and throat; geriatrics; gynecology; orthopedics; pulmonology; rehabilitation; and rheumatology, and is recognized as "high performing" in ophthalmology.
"We are delighted that U.S. News has once again recognized NewYork-Presbyterian on its Honor Roll," said Dr. Steven J. Corwin, CEO of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. "We are especially honored that our expertise in cardiology and heart surgery, neurology and neurosurgery, psychiatry, gastroenterology and GI surgery, and cancer were highlighted. These are among the areas where we continue to work tirelessly to alleviate the devastating impact of disease on patients and families. Together with our affiliated medical schools, Weill Cornell Medical College and Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, our physicians, nurses and staff are committed to providing outstanding, compassionate and patient-centered care, training the nation's best physicians, and conducting cutting-edge clinical research. This recognition by U.S. News & World Report validates our commitment."
NewYork-Presbyterian, with six campuses including NewYork-Presbyterian/Lower Manhattan Hospital (the result of a recent merger with New York Downtown Hospital), serves as a preeminent health care resource for the New York region and beyond. The hospital provides general and specialty care in all areas of medicine and surgery. It is home to the nation's largest transplant program; one of the busiest emergency departments in the country, with both a Level 1 adult trauma center and a Level 1 pediatric trauma center; the National Cancer Institute-designated Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center; the newly expanded Cancer Center at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, with a strong focus on precision medicine; two renowned heart centers, the Milstein Heart Center and the Perelman Heart Institute; and the Center for Autism and the Developing Brain, which recently opened at NewYork-Presbyterian/Westchester to provide comprehensive services in a single setting to address the needs of children and adults with autism spectrum disorders.
NewYork-Presbyterian's pediatric services were recently recognized in the "Best Children's Hospitals" rankings from U.S. News. The hospital, which provides pediatric care at two major sites — NewYork-Presbyterian/Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital and NewYork-Presbyterian/Phyllis and David Komansky Center for Children's Health — was recognized for expertise in all 10 pediatric specialties assessed, more than any other hospital in the New York metropolitan area. In addition, NewYork-Presbyterian has more physicians listed in New York magazine's 2013 "Best Doctors" list than any other hospital.
The rankings are published at http://health.usnews.com/best-hospitals and will appear in print in the U.S. News Best Hospitals 2014 issue, available in bookstores and on newsstands August 27.
About U.S. News & World Report's 'Best Hospitals' Rankings
U.S. News publishes "Best Hospitals" to help guide patients who need a high level of care because they face particularly difficult surgery, a challenging condition, or added risk because of other health problems or age. Objective measures such as patient survival and safety data, the adequacy of nurse staffing levels and other data largely determined the rankings in most specialties. The specialty rankings and data were produced for U.S. News by RTI International, a leading research organization based in Research Triangle Park, N.C. Using the same data, U.S. News produced the state and metro rankings.
About NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital
NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, based in New York City, is the nation's largest hospital, with 2,589 beds. In 2012, the Hospital had nearly 2 million inpatient and outpatient visits, including 12,758 deliveries and 215,946 visits to its emergency departments. NewYork-Presbyterian's 6,144 affiliated physicians and 20,154 staff provide state-of-the-art inpatient, ambulatory and preventive care in all areas of medicine at six major centers: NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center, NewYork-Presbyterian/Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, NewYork-Presbyterian/The Allen Hospital, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Westchester Division and NewYork-Presbyterian/Lower Manhattan Hospital.

Earned privilege
March 11, 2014
In a life of milestones, local author meets another with self-published book
Sitting in a ray of sunshine in his "hooray for me" room in his Cougar Mountain home, Randy Harrison paused while discussing his book "West From Yesterday."
From the window seat in the room (a Southern nickname for a room full of mementos from one's life), the first-time author said he had shared the manuscript with family and friends before self-publishing it through Amazon.com. They'd realized the tale of Tucker, a post-Civil War-era plantation owner who journeys West in a bout of self-discovery, sounded a lot like someone they knew.
"They said they found a lot of me in Tucker," Harrison said. "I realized both me and Tucker were from a Virginia family, had come from a life of privilege only by birth. And we both felt a sense of obligation that we had to earn what comes from that gift of privilege."
Pride of a city

Artist's memory lives on in his many murals
Oregon-based muralist Larry Kangas was a one-man show with a paintbrush.
He had the innate ability to tell the story of a community with paint, ladders, a large blank wall and an unrivaled imagination.
Kangas died of cancer Nov. 25, 2013, but his memory lives on in the more than 1,000 murals he crafted across the Pacific Northwest, a few of which grace Issaquah walls.
"Larry never had any children. He was a great uncle for many kids, but he called his murals his kids, his legacy," said Sandy Kangas, Larry's wife.

Ava Frisinger reflects on her 16 years as mayor
These days, Ava Frisinger, when not volunteering her time on various councils and boards, is spending a lot of catch-up time with her grandchildren. She won't say which role is harder, being Issaquah's longest-serving mayor or that of grandmother.
"But being a grandmother is a very satisfying job, rewarding as well," Frisinger said. "It's neat to watch kids grow, encourage them to do what it is that they want to do."
Finley and Gillda have a new fishy friend at the hatchery
January 7, 2014
Finley and Gillda, the two Issaquah Salmon Hatchery mascots, turned in for the night after New Year's Day, and slept so soundly that they were not awakened by an anonymous overnight visitor with a delivery.
If they have ever yearned for an addition to the family, that wish was being fulfilled while they dreamed.
When the two steel sculptures awoke the early morning of Jan. 2, they had a new buddy, 5 feet tall, made of a wooden log, with "Issaquah" carved in its base. The obvious intention was of it being a new permanent artistic attraction for local residents and annual Salmon Days visitors to enjoy.

The Keescan Electronic Film Editing System
For those who feel that electronic editing of tape is somewhat faster than conventional film editing, there is now a compact "tabletop" system for editing film, after it has been transferred to 3/4-inch videocassettes
In the past few ,years, proponents of videotape over film have made much of the fact that, from the ideal standpoint, the electronic editing of tape can be accomplished at a much faster pace than conventional film editing.
Accepting that assertion, some filmmakers have experimented with methods of transferring film to tape, editing the tape electronically and then ultimately matching the film original to the edited tape "workprint".
So far, so good-but what has mitigated against this method is the fact that, in cases where the film images are transferred to standard broadcast 2-inch tape for editing purposes, the costs of renting the cumbersome and highly sophisticated editing equipment (such as the CMX) are so prohibitively high, that at best the editor can afford only enough time to do a "quick and dirty" editing job-a procedure that is contrary to all tenets of quality filmmaking.
To overcome this considerable obstacle, the Keescan Electronic Film Editing System, on display at FILM 77, was developed. Utilizing very compact ("tabletop") electronic components that are relatively inexpensive to purchase, the Keescan System theoretically speeds up the editing process, while still allowing the editor to mull over cuts (in the way traditionally associated with film editing) and try out various alternatives without actually cutting and splicing a film workprint.
In practice, the film images are transferred to 3/4-inch vidéocassettes, complete with edge numbers. These edge numbers are electronically recorded along with the picture information. When the creative editing decisions have all been made, and the resultant electronic "cuts" have been executed, the okayed edited tape is then retransferred back to film in the form of a workprint to be used for matching the original in the conventional manner.
What follows is information provided by the KEESCAN people to further explain the system:
Traditionally, film-making techniques have been based upon a system which makes use of rush prints-so that the director can see whether a particular take is right, etc.-and involves considerable to-ing and fro-ing between studio or location, the film laboratory and, eventually, the editing table. Editing is the key to the process.
Film editing still depends on edge numbers which indicate the frame at which the cut is to be made and, perhaps illogically, on the physical handling, cutting and splicing of the valuable material on which expensive and often irreplaceable images are recorded.
Without the edge number, the film editor's job would be totally impossible. Even with it, there are an infinite number of stages at which something can go wrong. Prints have to be processed, cutting decisions made, insert and assembly sections mechanically joined. Even then the result might not be quite right. The process starts again.
"Post production" work has long been the bane of programme makers. Videotape has only too often been seen as the panacea which will cure all production ills. Editing on videotape operates on the same principal as film editing, by a standard time code which is magnetically recorded onto the tape -either during shooting, or at a later stage.
Time codes are simply electronic edge numbers imposed on the material in a digital form and logical progression. Edits are still made at numerical reference points.
The right videotape format can score heavily over film at the editing stage. Original material remains physically uncut, "instant" previews of edits (including the sound track) are normal. Videotape equipment can run backwards and forwards at high speed to pre-set points so that rough cuts-or entire videotape programmes-can be put together in a tiny proportion of time it would take to edit a similar footage of film. …

The heart of Tula - the Kremlin
Right in the centre (you cannot miss it) is situated the Old Kremlin of Tula. You will see its typical red walls and towers reminding the Moscow Kremlin from far away. It is not so big but anyway beautiful. For a small entrace fee you can enter and even walk on the walls.
Some interesting historical facts: first the Kremlin by the order of the tsar Vasliy III was built in wood (1507), it was ecquiped by a great amount of moscow and german guns, by "pushki". In 1514 the tsar ordered to start buildiing "the stone town" inside following the example of the Moscow Kremlin. And it was finished already in the year 1521.
The Kremlin of Tula was the scene of the famous events in the russian history. For example, in 1605 the pseudo-tsar Dmitriy was visiting the town and Tula became the capital of Russia for 2 weeks. Many famous russian princes came here to honour the new tsar.
And in 1607 the Kremlin became the refuge for the the leader of the paysant's war Ivan Bolotnkov. He was occupied in the Kremlin for 4 months, but in the end he was caught and punished by the tsar Vasiliy Shuiskiy

The old gymnasium
Just in front of the Kremlin you will find the building of the old gymnasium, now it is part of the Pedagogica Institute, but it is still worth of visiting...The children of famous russian writer Leo Tolstoy were studing here, Tolstoy himself visited the place many times ( you will find a table on the wall about it). We were there on quiet weekend day, the door to the nice garden was open, so we could enter and walk around the school yard. Incredible, you almost see it all full with students in old unifrom, hurryng up for the lessons....

Kremlin of Tula
Kremlin is the #1 thing to see being the kernel of the city and the most central.
Kremlin was built in 1520 and from the defence point of view it didn't have a strategic position being built in the lower lands, however its massive walls and turrets saved Tula from invadors many times.
The walls of Kremlin form almost regular rectangle with the nowadays height of 10 meters and thikness of 2,8 to 3,2 meters.
Entrance to the territory is free but all the museums are chargible.
Inside Kremlin
Unfortunately not many things are left to see inside Kremlin but even those few deserve your attention.
You may have a walk on Kremlin walls at the height of 6 meters along the "battle way" which was used by the ancient solders defending the citadel, thus you can see a panoramic view of the Kremlin insides.
On Kremlin's territory in the former cathedral there is an armoury museum.
Historically Tula was a well known place for armoury production, its different types guns were used widely in Russian from the very old times throught the Napoleonic war in 1812 and WWII.
Even now there is a well known armoury plant.
Museum of torture
On the Kremlin territory in one of the turrets there is a small Museum of torture, well it's definitely not London Dangeon but the guy behind the bars and lighted with dim red tells very artistically about the tortures performed in old Russia. He describes the tourtures and shows the devices which were use to fulfill them..... brrrrr....
If you climb the turret, under the roof you'll find just another small museum of gear of different warriors - old Russian and European knights, Mangols, Crusaders, even Scotts (!) All this gear is rented by film makers from time to time for their historic movies.
Samovar museum
Samovar museum occupies two floors of the the museum building.
Over there you'll be able to trace the history of the Russian samovar from the very begining several centuries ago up to the current times (including the latest exquisite verion of samovar made for 300 anniversary of St. Petersburg and presented to different countries representatived being invited to the celebration).
Soviet legacy
The very center of Tula are, apart from the Kremlin, the huge typical soviet time building of the local administration and the usual statue of Lenin, which accidentially survived the devastating democratic changes in the country.
All this looks very inapt amongst 3-4 storey old buildings, but sometimes it's better to leave the things as it is .... who knows what the new constuction might have been?
Old and new
Construction boom get in every remote corner in Russia not to tell about Tula of course. Huge living apartments buildings are now being erected here and there.... sometime the contrast this construction brings into the city it has a kind of nice eclectique style...
Lev Tolstoy house in Yasnaya Polyana
My friend in Tula took me in his car to Yasnaya Polyana, at about 15 kilometers distance from Tula, where I could visit the house where Lev Tolstoy lived. There he wrote War and Peace and Anna Karenina. His humble tomb is nearby, in the garden.
We paid for the ticket, took off our shoes and visited around. His tomb in in the forest, not far from the house.

The NSE startup Sounds Good just received 150 000 NOK from NTNU Discovery. This will help the project to reach the next phase, and their goal is to develop a demo-version of their app within June 2015.
The start-up team from NSE consists of two engaged members, Ekaterina Fedorova and Adine Dørum, who are working hard to reach their goal of launching an app that will help people who learn a foreign language to acquire suitable listening and pronunciation skills. Lack of confidence in using newly acquired language skills in social contexts is a common challenge that many people face which have consequences for a whole society, such as isolation and unemployment. Sounds Good customizes listening and pronunciation exercises based on the user's native language. The NSE-team are collaborating with TTO and a group of language researchers at Department of Language and Literature at NTNU who spent around 6 years developing a unique methodology. The methodology is based on a language map that provides information about which speech sounds that does not exist in the learner's native language, but exist in the language that the learner wants to master.
Meet Mikuna! Mikuna is one of the new startups at NTNU School of Entrepreneurship, and they are doing something out of the ordinary. The team is namely developing food products from insects. Why? Because as the world's population grows, the demand for protein rich food increase. Today's meat production is not sustainable, neither for meeting the population growth nor for the global environment. Furthermore, the threat of multidrug resistant bacteria in food is increasing. As an alternative, insects are regarded as a solution to these problems. Insects contain all the essential proteins, it has high fiber content, as well as it is eco-friendly and has low risks for diseases through food. This makes insects a perfect option for today's choice of food. Mikuna thus aims to develop food products from insects for consumption in the western world. The goal is to offer a superior source of protein and nutrients tailor made for the modern kitchen. Mikuna aims to introduce insects on your dinner table for the better for both you – and for our planet!
NSE has a wide variety of startups, and one of them is "Trevarefabrikken", and they were recently in media, see here. NSE student Andreas and a couple of friends made the decision to buy the rustique old wood factory (1.500 square meters) to provide co-living, foodlab and workation facilities. They are going to restore the building in three phases, starting in the summer of 2015. The fisher village is popular not only among climbers, surfers and travelers, but frequently used as hideaway for thoughtful painters, handcrafters and wildlife explorers.

Such is no longer the case. Associate Producer Ryan Hamlyn just posted another update on the blog, confirming that "an extra step in QA testing to enhance the community features" has forced SCEA to push back the Factor 5-developed release until September 4th.
"Natural challenges that arose while finalizing the offline game to include key online features - such as leaderboards and medal systems - have led to the difficult choice of pushing back the release date," said Hamlyn. "We appreciate everyone's excitement and patience for the game and look forward to its release on September 4."
The delay may put Lair into direct competition with Sony's own Heavenly Sword, which, according to online retailer GameStop, is currently slated to ship on the same date.

If you do consider 5x7 and want a wide camera, look at the walker 5x7XL....It is rock solid, cheap (comparatively) and very easy to use. It is essentially the same in concept as the Ebony SW45 except bigger and made from ABS. It is also cheaper.....takes the Canham 6x17 better than anything else on the market etc etc.
I am very pleased with mine.

|Critique Wanted
Going by what I can see this looks like it has the potential to be a lovely quiet reflective evening, and I love the shape of those wisps of cloud - however it's difficult to give any real critique without knowing what equipment you've used and what you have available. For instance in this kind of shot I would suggest using filters so that you can bring out more detail in the foreground whilst holding back the light in the sky so that it doesn't over-expose.
Saying that, however, I do like the silhouettes of the palms especially in the distance where they becoming bluer in the haze or mist.
I think that's what I'd suggest really - give us some more details when you next upload a pic so that we can give you feedback according to what equipment and lenses you have 8-]

BLOOMINGTON — The Harlem Huskies expect to be tested in their Dual Team State Tournament quarterfinal at 9 a.m. Saturday when they take on Glenbard North at Bloomington's U.S. Cellular Coliseum.
BLOOMINGTON — The Harlem Huskies expect to be tested in their Dual Team State Tournament quarterfinal at 9 a.m. Saturday when they take on Glenbard North at Bloomington's U.S. Cellular Coliseum.
"We're all just doing whatever it takes for the team right now, and we feel pretty good about what we've got," senior Jake Messink said last week shortly after his quick pin at 145 got the Huskies rolling toward a 45-30 sectional win over New Trier. "It's not going to be easy at any level from here on out, but we're just as confident as we were before. We like our chances."
Harlem has been ranked seventh in the state by illinoismatmen.com. After finishing with two state-placers among the seven state qualifiers at last weekend's individual state tourney, they look to finish atop the team state podium.
"That's been a goal for a long time," Harlem coach Cal Ferry said. "And now, it's right there for us."
Glenbard North, ranked 12th in the state, had four state placers, led by three-time state champ Jered Cortez, who beat Harlem's Jordan Northrup for the 126-pound championship by a 9-1 count. Brian Murphy lost by one point in the 152-pound state-title match, taking second for Glenbard North, and the squad also had two fifth-place finishers: Jon Marmolejo at 120 and Johnny Gosinski at 132.
Waiting in the 2 p.m. semis will be either Oak Park River Forest (ranked No. 1 in the state) or Sandburg (ranked No. 2).
Class 1A team state
Dakota will put its No. 1 ranking in Class 1A on the line against fifth-ranked LeRoy at 11 a.m. in Bloomington. The Indians appeared ready as they mowed over Rock Falls 55-15 in the sectionals, while LeRoy pounded Gibson City 45-18.
Dakota's three-time state champ Josh Alber pinned LeRoy's Austin Matlock in 3:48 of the individual state quarterfinals, and Matlock wound up taking fifth.
Dakota will send two state champs and six total state-placers to the mat while LeRoy wound up with a fifth-place finish and two sixths at individuals. The winner will get a 2 p.m. semifinal showdown with either PORTA (ranked sixth in the state) or Lisle (ranked seventh).
The finals and third-place matches for all classes begin at 6 p.m.

It is time we recognize the impact that Generation Xers across the globe have had on the Millennials' outlook on life, work, politics, civic engagement, entrepreneurship, activism or culture. Let's not sell our Millennials short. Let's add nuance and perspective to the conversation. Let's burst that bubble, shall we?
World Elephant Day is recognized on August 12, an appeal to all global citizens to help conserve and protect elephants from the numerous threats they face. A few days after learning of the death of Satao I met up with beloved scientist and conservationist Dr. Jane Goodall to discuss the elephant crisis.

Veteran Marines share their historical legacy
March 2, 2012
The first African American Marines, known as the Montford Point Marines, told their stories to a new generation at the Marine Club on Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall Feb. 28.
In 1942, President Franklin Roosevelt established a presidential directive giving African-Americans an opportunity to join the Marine Corps. However, these Marines did not attend boot camp at the traditional Parris Island, S.C. or San Diego, Calif., locations. Instead, they were segregated and sent to a facility at Camp Lejeune, N.C., called Montford Point.
Fifteen Marines, from the Montford Point Marine Association, D.C. Chapter 6, sat and had lunch with JBM-HH Marines. During the meal, a low murmur of conversation and bursts of laughter filled the club.
"Why would you join the Marine Corps when you weren't liked?" asked Pfc. Toneasha Caddle, Henderson Hall administrative clerk. His question was directed to retired Gunnery Sgt. Reuben McNair Sr., a Marine who entered into the Corps through the Montford Point facility.
McNair explained that despite the segregation, he felt the need to fight for what he believed in. "You have to fight for what you want," he said.
"To actually meet someone who lived [through] segregation back in the 40s and to get to ask them questions and talk to them in person is pretty amazing," said Caddle.
Retired Master Gunnery Sgt. Pat Hackbarth, president of the D.C. chapter, originally joined the association by spending time with members of the chapter. She would sit around and listen to them tell their stories. She later became involved in bridging the gap between past and present Marines. The luncheon was an opportunity for H&S Bn., HQMC, JBM-HH Marines to meet the first African American Marines and ask questions of these history makers said Hackbarth.
"They [Montford Point Marines] have history, knowledge and if we don't grab it now, it will be gone forever," she warned.
During the luncheon, the Montford Point Marines were treated to a special ceremony. They had the opportunity to witness Cpl. Benjamin Moore reenlist for another four years.
"It was just perfect timing," said Moore, who reenlisted into a new military occupation speciality: aviation mechanic. "I thought it would be a great honor if I had my reenlistment with them."
After the lunch, Col. Stephanie C. Smith, USMC special project officer, announced to the Montford Marines the design was approved for the Congressional Gold Medal. President Barack Obama awarded the Marines the special award Nov. 23, 2011 "in recognition of their personal sacrifice and service to their country."
"We weren't welcomed into the service," said Marine veteran Willie Woods. "A colonel was discouraging us all the way. He had his orders and he had to follow them, but some of his feelings came out along with his duties. He was telling us we accept you, but we can do without you."
The Montford Point Marines blazed the way for many more devil dogs. Marines from Henderson Hall will be able to carry on the history and legacy passed on to them from these historic Marines.

Short Summary
When Hofstra's Flying Dutchmen Quidditch team was established two years ago no one could have predicted that it would rise from obscurity to one of the top teams in the world and the number one team in New York. We've placed 3rd in the Fall 2012 Northeast Regionals and 2nd in the 2013 Shellshocking Spectular hosted by UMD. We've grown and bonded as a team and have never been stronger than we are today. Now we're ready to tackle one of our biggest tournaments yet, the sixth annual World Cup being held in Kissimee Florida on April 13th and 14th 2013. But the trip is expensive and we need your help to make it! Even the smallest donations are appreciated and will help us get one step closer to making our second World Cup appearance!
What We Need & What You Get
All funds raised will go directly to helping the Flying Dutchmen reach Florida. We're looking for at least 2000$ to cover the costs of airfare, hotels and transportation once we're in Kissimee. We have a variety of perks in return for your generous support, including quidditch-style wristbands and car magnets, personalized brooms and jerseys (made by Flying Dutchmen team members!), a signed team picture and more!
**If you donate at any increments below 50$, you receive all the listed perks below that increment. So if you donate 40$, you receive the picture, the wand, the wrist band etc. However if you donate 100$, you receive the jersey, the car magnet, the team picture etc (but not the broom). Likewise if you donate 75$, you receive the broom, the picture, the wand etc (but not the car magnet).
The Impact
I think it's safe to say that every person who's ever heard of "muggle" quidditch is a little apprehensive at first. Running around on brooms, you say? Calling dodgeballs "bludgers" and volleyballs "quaffles"? But the impact quidditch has had on the Flying Dutchmen has been enormous. We came together as strangers and ended up forming our own quirky family. We've been challenged at every practice and tournament to be the best that we can be, not only for ourselves but for our teammates. We've battled through rain, sleet and snow to prove to the quidditch world that we are a force to be reckoned with. Reaching World Cup VI will be the ultimate testament to our determination, our dedication and our love for the sport and each other.
