The story is that Mary appeared to 3 shepherd children in Portugal in 1917. She told them that God was disappointed in humankind (WWI was raging) & that he would send more wars to punish us for our sins. The wars would be caused by atheistic Russia &, to stop this, Catholics should pray, esp the rosary, & work to convert Russia . This really resonated when I first heard it as a school kid during the Cold War -- we were having regular nuclear war drills at the time. Of course the lady kind of missed Germany & we never did end up fighting directly against Russia, but she certainly had the right idea about more wars coming. For the last visitation (there were 4 or 5) she promised a miracle to prove it wasn't a scam. That day the sun enlarged, whirled like a pinwheel & danced in the sky. The lady also gave the kids a secret message, which they wrote down & gave to their bishop, who handed it on to the pope. The secret was supposed to be revealed by 1960, but it's still a secret today. For me as a kid, this secret message was the most fascinating part of the story. What was it about? What had they decided was TOO TERRIBLE for us to know?
Interestingly, as I researched this on google, guess what I came upon? Cardinal Ratzinger, the recently elected pope, had had a look at the secret message back when he was enforcer for the last guy. "In an interview conducted in November 1984, Cardinal Ratzinger (of the Holy Office) confirmed that, with the Pope’s permission, he had read the Secret and that it concerns, in his words, 'a radical call to conversion, the absolute gravity of history, the dangers threatening the Faith and the life of a Christian, and therefore the world. And also the importance of the last times.' " Source is here

Mystical (7A-1) — Seeing the beauty in nature inspire me because it is always a fascination to see how the bird works in nature. This piece of work reminds me of Roni Horn because her work is about between the humankind and nature. I understand how to work with nature and how nature affects me. Just because I see the varieties of birds outside don’t mean they are just the birds flying in the air or sitting on the branch. I feel I can be connected to the bird to see beyond the bird within nature and that idea of mine is the matter to me. I quietly approach to the bird that sat on the branch, and I take the photograph of it carefully without scaring the bird away. I focus on the bird that is surrounded by the branches by zoom in at 55 mm. I don’t want the photo has so much light, which I want it to be natural light as possible (f18). The shutter speed is 800 to avoid the shaking and avoid blur on the bird. I want some of the shadows to be seen especially the bird because there is the depth of the branches where the bird is far from me.
Mind Trick (7A-2) - The mind trick art inspires me because it takes the brain to work harder as to figure out what is there and what else is there. My idea is to have the photo to exercise the brain to see things more and be able to tell the difference in the picture. I photograph this picture that is already there. I zoom out at 18 mm, and I have the camera to be close to the ground. I use the shutter speed at 200 to avoid shaking. I focus on the background than the foreground to see the details of the light, shadows, and colors.
Art is Significant (7B-1) - It comes to my mind when I go to an art museum, I only look at the artworks, and people are invisible because the artworks emphasize the work. See the artworks more than the people inspire me because when I look at them, the people are invisible. I stand more than 6 feet away from a security guard guy and the artworks. I zoom in at 55 mm to make it look like I stand closer to the security guard guy and the artworks. I use f5.6 to have more light because it is inside and the lights are not too bright. Shadows are going on from different directions, and the colors vibrate. I focus on the foreground than the background to emphasize the artworks are more focus than a security guard guy. Everything is already there; no staged set up.
Look Beyond The Mirror (7B-2) - This photo inspires me because I see the mirror that has the paint of neon colors with words. I don’t see the mirror itself, but see the words that describe the meaning beyond the phrase. To me, it says as “When looking in the mirror constantly, you are not able to achieve the things you want by keep looking at the mirror. The mirror is more of the imagination. The only way to achieve the goals is to do it and keep going until successful without looking at yourself in the mirror.” My idea for this picture is to show the mirror is invisible to show the truth. This artwork is already there. I stand less than 6 feet away from it, and I take the picture at f4.5 because of the indoor light. I frame the piece of work hanging on the wall. There is a shadow below the mirror. I focus on the foreground than the background to emphasize the work especially the colors.
Outdoor Meet Underwater (7C) - This picture inspires me because surrealism art is the type of imagination or the fantasy world. Sometimes, I imagine things in my mind that I know they are not real in reality. My idea for this is to show what it is like to have outdoor flower and insect living under the water. I take the photograph of the tree flower and the bee and add to the underwater from the internet. I also add the honeycomb from the web and add it as well. There is a lot of adjustments to this photo such as the colors, size, and lightness.

Ce vendredi 14 avril 2017, tous les médias étaient réunis à Saint-Malo pour la mise à l’eau du navire Energy Observer. Une journée forcément particulière pour l’initiateur de ce projet, le Malouin Victorien Erussard, d’autant plus qu’au même moment naissait son fils !
“On met le bateau à l’eau et mon fils naît en même temps… C’est formidable !”
Victorien Erussard ne cache pas son émotion et sa joie, perché sur le cockpit de son catamaran futuriste Energy Observer, qui vient d’être mis à l’eau ce vendredi 14 avril, vers 13 h 15. Alors que quelques minutes plus tôt, il était encore auprès de sa femme, qui venait de mettre au monde son fils, Georges.
Une joie partagée par toute son équipe, notamment Jérôme Delafosse, le chef d’expédition d’Energy Observer. Le bateau débutera en effet bientôt un périple de six années autour du monde, pour sensibiliser le public sur l’utilisation des énergies renouvelables. La première étape est prévue à Paris en juillet prochain.
Energy Observer est un navire autonome en énergie et sans émission de gaz à effet de serre, propulsé grâce à diverses énergies renouvelables : 130 m2 de panneaux photovoltaïques, deux éoliennes à axe vertical, une aile de traction et toute une chaîne de production d’hydrogène via la transformation d’eau de mer, assurent la propulsion électrique du bateau.
On peut dire que la Bretagne est d’ailleurs pionnière en la matière. Puisque le 9 avril dernier, c’est de Lorient qu’est parti un autre bateau, Raceforwater, un projet suisse qui a les mêmes objectifs.
Le capitaine d'Energy Observer a vécu deux moments inoubliables, ce vendredi 14 avril 2017. La mise à l'eau du bateau, sans souci, dans le bassin Duguay-Trouin, à Saint-Malo. Et la naissance de son deuxième fils, Georges, qui a vu le jour à 12h50!
Si la mise à l'eau a été retardée d'une petite demi-heure, c'est parce que tout le monde espérait la venue de Victorien Erussard, le capitaine d'Energy Observer.
Ce dernier attendait un autre événement de taille, la naissance de son deuxième fils. Le petit Georges a pointé le bout de son nez à 12h50, soit 20 minutes avant la mise à l'eau du bateau!
Ça y est ! Le bateau Energy Observer est à l’eau. Il y avait foule ce matin pour suivre l’événement, esplanade Saint-Vincent, à Saint-Malo. Temps gris mais pas de pluie. Les manœuvres se sont faites en douceur et sans anicroche. Energy Observer est paré pour l’aventure !
Encore une étape pour le projet Energy Observer. Le bateau a été mis à l'eau, hier midi, sous les yeux de la foule. Une matinée riche en émotions et ponctuée d'une jolie surprise.
11 h. L'effervescence commence à se faire sentir. Le clou du spectacle ne se produira pas avant deux heures, mais les passants commencent à prendre place derrière les barrières entourant le bateau et l'esplanade.
Energy Observer a déjà été déposé sur la plateforme d'un poids lourd. C'est un grand jour pour ce bateau unique au monde. Une semaine après sa sortie de chantier, il va retrouver son élément.
Sa mise à l'eau intrigue et fascine les spectateurs. Jean-Marie, 65 ans, habite la région parisienne, mais il vient régulièrement à Saint-Malo, où il a un bateau. Intéressé par les « choses de la mer », il est venu suivre l'événement avec des amis. « Je n'ai jamais vu de mise à l'eau d'un bateau comme ça. Il est vraiment magnifique. »
12 h. Il a bougé ! Le catamaran a quitté son promontoire de l'esplanade Saint-Vincent, où il était exposé depuis une semaine, pour se positionner près du bassin Duguay-Trouin. Une grue l'y attend déjà.
La famille Leblond ne perd pas une miette du spectacle. Arrivés le matin même à Saint-Malo pour leurs vacances, les quatre membres de la famille ont été accueillis par Energy Observer.
« On l'a découvert à ce moment-là. Nous n'en avions pas du tout entendu parler. On n'a pas l'habitude de voir un moment exceptionnel comme celui-ci. On sait qu'il y a pas mal de risques, que les ouvriers n'ont pas le droit à l'erreur dans leurs manipulations. C'est passionnant à regarder. »
12 h 30. Le public ne lâche pas des yeux les opérations. Energy Observer est en train d'être sanglé afin d'être soulevé dans les airs. Ce moment magique et crucial va être retardé d'une demi-heure pendant lesquelles Jérôme Delafosse, futur chef d'expédition de l'aventure Energy Observer, et l'équipe retracent l'histoire et la vocation expérimentale du projet.
Curieux : Victorien Erussard, le président du projet et capitaine, n'est pas là... Un bruit circule parmi les proches du projet. On en saura davantage plus tard.
13 h. C'est parti. Le bateau se soulève dans les airs, comme en lévitation. À une dizaine de mètres du sol, il opère une rotation pour se placer dans le bon angle, pour la mise à l'eau. Observé sous toutes les coutures, Energy Observer révèle son élégance. Appareils photo et smartphones capturent ce moment émouvant.
Autre moment émouvant, Jérôme Delafosse explique au micro pourquoi Victorien est en retard à cet événement pourtant crucial pour lui. Il est, depuis quelques minutes, le papa d'un petit garçon, né à 12 h 50. Un très joli clin d'oeil du destin.
13 h 15. Alors que le bateau se rapproche du plan d'eau, le jeune papa vient tout juste d'arriver de l'hôpital. C'est une double naissance qu'il vient de vivre. Son petit Georges est né vingt minutes avant la mise à l'eau du projet sur lequel il travaille depuis trois ans. « C'est une synchronisation absolument incroyable », lâche-t-il, applaudi par la foule qui partage son bonheur.
13 h 17. Le compte à rebours est lancé et va durer bien plus longtemps que les cinq secondes prévues. Le temps suspend son vol, alors que le bateau n'est plus qu'à quelques centimètres de l'eau.
Zéro ! Ça y est, Energy Observer flotte sur cette eau de mer d'où il puisera son énergie. Victorien Erussard et Jérôme Delafosse grimpent sur le bateau. Bras en l'air, ils savourent ce moment unique dans une vie.
Dans la foule, Louis aussi est ému. Ce biologiste de 24 ans salue l'initiative des deux hommes en faveur de la planète. « Mettre en avant ce genre de projet, trouver des partenaires qui vous accompagnent et réussir à attirer autant de monde pour ce genre d'événements, je trouve ça très encourageant », reconnaît le Vannetais. Energy Observer transportera le message dans le monde entier.
C’est un grand jour pour la soixantaine de personnes qui travaille depuis deux ans sur le bateau Energy Observer. Le catamaran de légende, reconditionné avec un condensé de technologies, va être le premier à faire le tour du monde, propulsé grâce à des énergies renouvelables et de l’hydrogène fabriqué à partir de l’eau de mer. Ce vendredi 14 avril, le bateau va être mis à l’eau officiellement à 12 h 30. Le public est invité à suivre cette première aventure. Energy Observer est exposé depuis une semaine sur l’esplanade Saint-Vincent à Saint-Malo.
Il était exactement 13 h 20, hier, lorsque le catamaran Energy Observer, un bateau propre à propulsion hydrogène, a touché l'eau du bassin Duguay-Trouin sous un tonnerre d'applaudissements.
Ils étaient nombreux à ne pas vouloir manquer l'événement. Hier, en fin de matinée, plusieurs milliers de personnes s'étaient massées sur l'esplanade Saint-Vincent, autour du catamaran Energy Observer. Malgré l'attente de la foule, « le bateau du futur » de 25 tonnes a d'abord joué les filles de l'air avant de toucher l'eau du bassin Duguay-Trouin. Il était 13 h 20. Un tonnerre d'applaudissements a aussitôt résonné de la place et de « l'Étoile du Roy » où avaient pris place les personnalités.
Double bonheur
Le plus heureux d'entre eux était certainement Victorien Erussard, le skipper malouin qui a failli rater la mise à l'eau de son catamaran qu'il attendait depuis quatre ans et demi. Il s'en est fallu d'une petite demi-heure. La raison : à 12 h 50, son deuxième fils, Georges, voyait le jour à la maternité voisine ! Nicolas Hulot, le parrain, est lui arrivé bien après que le catamaran à propulsion à hydrogène ait rejoint son élément. Il était resté bloqué dans son train. Ce qui ne l'a pas empêché de saluer les vertus de ce bateau propre. « C'est une illustration de ce que pourrait être la transition écologique. J'aurais rêvé d'avoir un tel bateau quand j'ai fait Ushuaia. »
Claude Renoult, le maire de Saint-Malo, était également présent avec, près de lui, Stéphane Fiévet, conseiller artistique à la Ville de Paris. En effet, durant son tour de France, le bateau malouin fera escale dans la capitale durant la première quinzaine de juillet. Ce n'est qu'ensuite qu'il entamera un tour du monde qui devrait durer 6 ans.
The Energy Observer catamaran is poised to set sail around the world powered by renewable energy. It will spend six years on its historic journey on the high seas.
The craft will be powered by the sun and wind, backed up with a fuel cell system that converts sea water into hydrogen.
A team of around 50 sailors, engineers and architects are preparing the two hulled boat in St.Malo in France.
The ambitious project comes in the wake of the Solar Impulse plane which completed its flight around the world using just solar energy.
“Energy Observer is a technological challenge. We are a kind of Solar Impulse of the sea, made in France and the idea is to aim for energy sustainability of the vessel; to use nature, renewable energies and make a world tour completely autonomously,” explained Victorien Erussard, Energy Observer founder and captain.
The 30 metre long catamaran started life as a successful multi-hull ocean racer which itself had been recycled.
Solar panels, wind turbines and the hydrogen fuel cell system are being installed during the refurbishment which has taken more than three years.
The boat remains the same size but on completion will be twice as heavy.
When Energy Observer sets sail the crew will include a multimedia cameraman to document the journey. The expedition leader hopes it will record what can be done to reduce global emissions.
“Everybody will be able to see this boat, to know it better and then to follow it on social networks and live the adventure from the inside because we will offer very innovative content, like the virtual reality; so you would be able to follow Energy Observer almost daily,” enthused Jerome Delafosse, expedition leader.
It’s hoped Energy Observer will be ready to set sail in April.
The five million euro craft will depart from Saint Malo in Brittany and make the first of its 101 stops across 50 countries in Paris as part of its six-year global circumnavigation.
Forsee Power, a specialist in lithium-ion battery solutions, is proud to announce at the Electric & Hybrid Marine World Expo that the company will be providing the battery system that will be integrated aboard the Energy Observer – the first ever self-sufficient electric catamaran: Energy Observer
The Forsee Power battery system will be coupled with an energy system developed by the CEA Liten research institute. The system can store the energy produced by the solar panels on the boat, and will be combined with electricity generated by a fuel cell used to propel the vessel forward and supply the auxiliary systems.
The battery system will be made of the Flex EP7 modules, as well as the BMS and Master-BMS battery management systems.
Available on the market for the past four years, Forsee Power technology is extremely safe, reliable, and durable, and has proven experience in marine applications.
The project is sponsored by Florence Lambert and Nicolas Hulot, and supported by the Nicolas Hulot Foundation for Nature and Humankind.
The CEA will be attending the Electric & Hybrid Marine World Expo with a new model of the Energy Observer.

Seeking inspiration from stations of the cross
Christians take out processions to experience the pain and
sacrifice Christ went through
Ashutosh Shukla
DNA [Daily News and Analysis]
Saturday, Apr 07, 2012, City, MUMBAI, page 5.
At Pratirakhsa Nagar, Vakola, fashion designer Firoze Shakir
stands out in the thousands gathered to see the enactment of
crucifixion of Christ. A Muslim by faith, it is not his fancy
Malang wardrobe, but his bare feet in the scorching summer
afternoon, which draws attentions. Apparently, he is here to see
the "passion of Christ".
Though he is clothed and even sits in a truck sometimes, the
scorching ground does make it unbearable for his bare feet.
"Christ walked barefoot. And it is the physicality of this pain
that I wanted to go through. For me, walking barefoot is giving
back to the society, as taught in my convent school," says
Shakir.
The 40-year-old Shakir, who has studied in the Holy Name
High School at Colaba, has been covering the 'stations of cross',
as the enactment plays are called, for five years now. "I even
go for the Lalbaug Raja ganapati too and take pictures for
posting them on flicker for people to see and follow," he adds.
A self-confessed poet, Shakir wants to prove that walking
aside Christians helps him "appreciate beauty of other religions"
and "identify with their pain", thus making more human. "I like
the passion of the Christ. I see his pain like that of Imam
Hussein. As a poet I see a metaphor there," he says.
While Shakir attended the stations of cross to prove his
point of religious harmony, many others came to learn from the
Christ's sufferings and the forgiveness he preached. "The walk
is a small act of reverence I make for his sacrifice for us.
It's a day of prayers and we look to learn from him," said Judith
Daftary, a 39-year-old who had come alone all the way from Marol
alone.
The D'Souzas who had come with their entire family wanted
their children to learn from Christ. "I want my kids to know the
sufferings He went through," said Ivy D'Souza, 36-year-old Santa
Cruz resident and mother of two.

Cotton warp and wool tapestry, Humankind, 1988, interpretation of an original design by Sir Robin Philipson, woven by the Edinburgh Tapestry Company
Acquired by Glasgow Museums in 1992
The specific theme of this tapestry is apartheid, set within the landscape of South Africa and showing the love of a white boy for a black girl. It was woven by master weavers of the Edinburgh Tapestry Company, David Cochrane, Shirley Gatt, Harry Wright and Johnny Wright, to mark their 75th anniversary. The subject expresses the humanity evident in Philipson’s work throughout each phase of his long and successful career as both a teacher and artist. Glasgow City Council chose this work from its collection to send to the G8 Summit at Gleneagles in July 2005 as an expression of support for the aims of the 31st summit which focused on debt relief and aid for Africa.
