Time management – Rhythm in which most of us live, hardly a calm and measured. Lack of time, Abraham and hard pressed for time trials are, to cope with which the strength is not for everyone. Permanent residence in the state of “I do not know what to grab” is hardly appropriate when it comes to personal effectiveness.

Emotional stress blocks productivity leads to fatigue and apathy. Therefore, to avoid becoming a victim of stress or, even worse, chronic fatigue syndrome, let us time management or time management.

Jesus said, Jesus of Nazareth (8-4 before Christ - 30-33 apr. -JC ) and also called Jesus Christ by Christians ( Greek: Iesous Christos ) (Jesus comes from the Hebrew meaning God is salvation , and Christ is the Greek translation of the Hebrew word " Messiah" ( machiakh ) , the anointed one ) is the central figure of Christianity and is considered by Christians to be the Messiah and the Son of God ( true God and true man, in one person) . Catholics, Protestants and Orthodox celebrate it religiously, and even love as God (the second person of the Trinity); other Christians celebrate the religious currents in developing a wide variety of beliefs.

His life

*************************************************

The disciples Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were each reported the life of Jesus in the four Gospels, which are part of the New Testament.

According to their testimony, Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea. A census has been ordered by a decree from Caesar Augustus, Mary, mother of Jesus, and her husband Joseph were compelled to leave Nazareth in Galilee to join their village of origin. The birth of Jesus in Bethlehem perfectly accomplishes the prophecy of Micah, and some believe that this statement would be largely symbolic, because Bethlehem, in Hebrew the house of bread, is deemed "City of David” where the Messiah is born. (See below for Nazareth.)

According to the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, Jesus was born during the reign of Herod I the Great , while Quirinius was governor of Syria ( the only known time this census would take place in Year 7 before Christ ) and died crucified in Jerusalem in the year 30 or 33, under the mandate of the procurator Pontius Pilate. He was a carpenter (Mk 6 3).

------------------------------------------------

The canonical Gospels report:

------------------------------------------------

The virgin birth in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke Matthew 1:18-25 Luke 1:26-35. These passages are considered later than the rest of the text by some specialists (without philological evidence) . The Gospels also establish a correspondence between the story of the nativity and several prophecies of the Old Testament;

The flight of Joseph, his wife and child in Egypt before the Massacre of the Innocents, the return to Nazareth after Herod's death, (in 4 BC.), (Mt 2:13-23);

Transfiguration with the appearance of Moses and Elijah (Matthew 17 1-8, Luke 2-8 9 9 28-36 Mc) . The appearance of the characters of Moses and Elijah is considered by some as highly symbolic. Moses is the founder of a religion and Elijah at the time the most beloved prophet of Judaism. Elijah is also deemed not to have experienced death, be ascended to heaven during his lifetime and have to come back at the same time as the Messiah. It was also, according to the Old Testament, the fate of Enoch.

Passion, that is to say, his suffering and death on the cross (instrument of torture);

Resurrection found on Easter morning;

Ascension (that is to say, the removal of his body to the sky)

The four evangelists are the link with some passages of the prophets of earlier centuries (especially in the Book of Isaiah and the Psalms) as an announcement of the passion and resurrection of Jesus, and his role as Messiah.

------------------------------------------------

The Acts relating to:

------------------------------------------------

Pentecost 50 days after Easter, after which the apostles begin intensive dissemination of his message;

The beginnings of the Church and its expansion.

Many miracles are also attributed to Jesus, essentially healing the blind, the deaf, lepers and paralytics. In addition, several resurrections assigned: the slave of a Roman centurion of the only son of a widow of the city of Nain, the daughter of a man named Jairus, and that of Lazarus, his friend, brother of Martha and Mary.

------------------------------------------------

Historical elements

------------------------------------------------

A historical reconstruction of such an old and skull from the site where Jesus lived , by Richard NeaveLe first historian who refers to 94 Jesus is the Jewish Josephus was born in 39 AD. AD It has therefore not been a direct witness. While most historians agree on their authenticity, writings are disputed, because the first "original" known historian dates from the ninth century AD. AD result of multiple iterations of copyist’s monks whose transparency can be doubted, It should however be noted that this is the case for almost all the ancient writers. Moreover, the historian mentions several different Jesus, a perfectly ordinary name of the time.

To 116, in his Annals, the Roman historian Cornelius Tacitus wrote: “[the name of Christians] comes to them from Christ, who, under Tiberius, was delivered to death by the procurator Pontius Pilate ....”

In his Lives of the Twelve Caesars, to 120, Suetonius wrote: “[Claude] drove the city's Jews were rising constantly at the instigation of some Christos “This happens in 50, 20 years after the Jesus' death. In addition, Christos and Christos are two different words, one meaning “the anointed one" (meaning a person dedicated), the other resulting in "good" and sometimes acting as a proper name. The confusion, however, may not be surprising from a “pagan " author. It should be noted here that Suetonius mentions the Jews when he mentions the Christians under Nero's reign

------------------------------------------------

Considerations on the historicity of Jesus

------------------------------------------------

The historical existence of Jesus began to be challenged in the nineteenth century, from Renan, after a study initiated by Hermann Samuel Reimarus in 1774. Indeed, there is no contemporary historical Jesus authentication.

Historically, the New Testament references prove nothing. Conversely, the absence of evocations of Jesus during the first century outside of the Gospels in no way proves that it does not exist. Palestine was a minor colony and it is not surprising that his influence would have been enough to start (in the meantime, executed were not entitled to the spotlight as today, even the rebellion of Spartacus was not many echoes). Many other messiahs have finished in the dustbin of history. Why it did not exist, would we found it useful to invent? Why so many individuals have believed in him to the point to dedicate a religion?

If the need for a “dying god” was felt, it was sufficient (Osiris, Adonis, Dionysus, Attics, etc. . .), to be unnecessary to invent more. The way Jesus is portrayed suggests he was a real character. No writer of the time no one would bother to invent a fictional messiah remaining as vague and contradictory about his life and his teachings and imagining disciples as imperfect ( like Peter who denies his Master three times cowardice ) .

Contradictions and oddities abound in the Gospels, as in most biographies of historical figures. We have seen in the absence of biographical Paul proof of imposture of Jesus. But nobody has ever suggested that Paul is an invention. But he knew people who had met Jesus. Moreover, one can note the first opponents of Christianity (Roman Jews that amounts) have never denied the existence of its founder.

Few are still those who doubt the existence of Jesus. It’s mostly amateurs, no university function , and try to convince the public otherwise specialists , it is the case of Paul -Eric Blanrue , consultant, writer and screenwriter , and occasional commentator ; other names are cited as one Patrick Dupuy which we cannot know what he wrote. Another amateur was Dr. Couchoud which, in addition medicine and Japanese literature had as a hobby to show that Jesus never existed. Charles Guignebert, professor at the Sorbonne, often amusing to make fun of him and this is the notorious anti-Christian certainly was not because his religion would have been offended: it’s very wrong, he said, is that n ' had never managed to convince a recognized specialist whose accession could have meaning, and he added coldly: "The enthusiasm of incompetent does not compensate for this failure.” Although researchers are still troubled by the obvious similarities of Christian dogma with pagan cults of the time

************************************************

His message

************************************************

According to some theologians, the basic message of the Gospel lies in:

The Beatitudes, (Matthew and in Luke).

Two commandments: "You shall love the Lord your God" and” Thou salt love thy neighbor as thyself" , which constitute an inseparable whole. Otherwise expressed in: “For he that loved not his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen" (John VI: 20). Note that these commands are found in the Old Testament (Leviticus 19-18: “Thou salt love thy neighbor as thyself”). The Mosaic Law is an indisputable foundation of Jesus' discourse reported in the Gospels.

The injunction to love your neighbor be it his enemy.

The “Paschal Mystery” by Christians, death and resurrection of Jesus. Preach the imminence of the Kingdom and the need for true repentance: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near." (Matthew IV: 17)

The key message is certainly found in the Gospel of Luke chapter 4 verses 18 and the 21 - a message of peace for suffering humanity , not only physically but also spiritually because of its decision to exclude God his life, Jesus is renewing this link through this extraordinarily full of love for each message.

Another formulation in the Gospel of John 3, 16: "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but has everlasting life.”

More than just a "message" Jesus is for Christians the coming of God in humanity, with the Incarnation, the redemption of humanity through the cross and the victory over death through the resurrection, meaning salvation.

************************************************

Religious perspectives

************************************************

------------------------------------------------

Christianity

------------------------------------------------

Christ Pantocrator, mosaic detail of the thirteenth century, Hagia Sophia, Istambul Dans the Bible, we read how humans have lost their relationship with God (Genesis 1-3), and how God seeks to find a contact with them. Christians and Jews believe that God is on Earth, by the prophets, dreams, or nature (the burning bush of Moses, for example) - in other words, that God is imminent as well as transcendent.

However, according to the New Testament, in Jesus, God took the form of a human being, lived among men to show who God is and what His love, His commandments, His invitation to humanity. This is the distinctive feature of the Christian view of Jesus and, therefore, on God.

The life of Jesus and the early Christians is told in the New Testament. The testimony of the life of Jesus is found primarily in the Gospels, but there are also references in the writings of Paul, for example, the First Epistle to the Corinthians. Jesus of Nazareth is often called “Jesus Christ." The word "Christ" (Greek - equivalent of “Messiah “in Hebrew) means “Anointed." The Israelites believed that God would send someone to release and establish the "Kingdom of God”, a transformation that God would become the only King of the Earth that sins are forgiven, restored the Temple, the Romans would return Israel. They called this person the Messiah.

According to the New Testament, Jesus was the Messiah, but it was not the Messiah that the people around him waiting. He was very critical of the religious authorities, ignoring the rules of the Act when Love asked, and spent much time with the poor, the poor and the outcasts of society. He spoke of a relationship with God, not through government, but directly. Finally, the religious authorities have had enough, and persuaded the Romans to crucify him. He died on the cross and then buried.

According to the Gospels, Jesus is “raised “on the third day after his death. It is not a matter of “back to life " , as in some mythologies , but the Israelites would one day come to the end of time, when all the righteous pass to the other side of death, to a full life , transformed and endless on Earth. The rest of the story begins when some women visit the tomb and find it empty. Then this is the general chaos. Many people see Jesus in the coming days. It is the same, but different. He eats, but also appears in the middle of a closed room. It seems that it is “resurrected “.

The prophets had announced that someone would die for the sins of the world, and then the resurrection means that forgiveness is possible, and that more than one additional Prophet Jesus is God himself. For the first Christians those who believe in Jesus his death and resurrection and allow a restored relationship with God not by religious intermediaries but by Jesus

------------------------------------------------

Islam

------------------------------------------------

The Quran calls Jesus Issa.

Islam considers Jesus as a major prophet unlike Christians who regard Jesus as the incarnation of a divine person. It is neither God nor son of God (Koran V, 17). It is praised repeatedly in the Qur'an. The Quran says that he was born of Mary ( Koran II 87) , he is the Messiah , Mary is mother and virgin ( Koran III 45-47 or XXI , 91 ) and is sister to Aaron (XIX , 28) , understood as " the offspring " of Aaron. Jesus presents the particularity to have spoken from his birth in the cradle. Jesus did not die on the cross, but someone else was crucified in his place (" it was only a pretense ") (Quran IV, 157), God has raised Jesus to him. This belief is probably inspired Docetism. He confirmed the teachings of the Torah and would have foretold the coming of Muhammad (Qur’an LXI, 6) under the name Ahmad. It would be mounted living with God; it is he who will return to announce the final judgment. He will not come as a prophet, but as a ruler and judge of the community of believers, Muslim or not. He will return shortly before the Mahdi according to Shiite belief.

The traditionalist historian Tabari (839-923) tells about the crucifixion the next episode (regardless of texts by which the crucifixion of Jesus, Roman punishment was carried out by the Romans)

Jews Isa dragged to a place where they had prepared a cross to crucify him, and a great number of Jews gathered around him. They had a leader named Yeas’, who was also among them. When they tried to attach Isa the cross, God took their eyes and gave shape and appearance Isa Yeasef’ to their leader. [ ...] When they looked, they saw Joshua fully Isa like, and they took him. He says: I 'm Joshua. They answered: Thou liest, thou art Isa, and you are robbed you our eyes by magic, now the magic are gone and you have become visible. He protested in vain that he was Joshua; they killed him and tied him to the cross.

As for Isa, God raised him up to heaven as it says in the Qur'an: “They did not kill him and they did not crucify him, but it was only a pretense.”(Quran IV, 156).

Tabari (The Chronicle of Solomon to the fall of the Sassanids)

In the Qur'an, the word most frequently used to describe Christians is nasara.

------------------------------------------------

Apocryphal literature

------------------------------------------------

A number of old and new texts, which were not used in the New Testament canon , but we have been known for several centuries already , show a very different vision sometimes that had some common first centuries of our era ( or , as formerly recently, against - designs ) vies-a -vies Jesus from the Jesus traditionally known by the canonical Gospels.

Apocryphal literature varies greatly styles and designs of Jesus : details about his childhood and his parents ( Proto of Jacques ) , a descent into hell ( Acts of Pilate ) , a master of esoteric wisdom or initiator ( Gospel of Thomas ) Jesus , or just a prophet ( gospel of Barnabas ) rather envoy of God, etc. .

Textual criticism today gives us the assertion of a documentary and / or reliability seniority often far superior to the canonical Gospels, and in parallel, late dating (e.g., the Gospel of Barnabas is dated Middle age) for many apocryphal writings. In terms of content, the comparison between canonical and apocryphal gospels and apocryphal them grows the majority of scholars to conclude that sectarian motivations developed by some and by others, is against heresies ( the side of the Official Christianity - such as cryptic Oracles ) or against the dominant ( the side of the divergent currents souvents competitors them) Christianity. It should be added that the scholarship has, for many of the writings of the apocryphal literature, concluded that the Pseudepigrapha (sometimes very late), inspired by ancient but often inauthentic literature (such as the Gospel of Barnabas, the Gospel of Thomas, or - but this is disputed - the Gospel of Mary).

Jehovah's Witnesses

------------------------------------------------

For Jehovah's Witnesses, Jesus is the Son of God, the first of his works, but not God himself. It is his first begotten Son of the Father. They follow in the Arian doctrine developed in the first century.

************************************************

His name

************************************************

Jesus is a Greek transliteration of the Aramaic diminutive Yehoshuah or Yeshua, also translated by Joshua. The word is God saves; God is salvation, salvation, health, financial comfort.

The name Jesus is often used to refer to Jesus of Nazareth, also called Jesus Christ.

It is certified as Barabbas1 name for the warlord released by Pontius Pilate in the text of the Gospel of Matthew XXVII :16 -17 as a first name for Ben Sirach , author of Ecclesiasticus , book of wisdom from the Bible. The name is also attested and AbIeschwa means my father is easy. (Source BDB- THAYER)

In his writings, Josephus mentions several individuals named Jesus, among which we note:

"Jesus, son of Sapphas, one of the high priests," governor of Idumea and also “first magistrate of Tiberias “(Jewish War, Book II, and XX.4 XXI.3 and Book III)

Jesus , one of the high priests ( Jewish War , Book VI, II.2) may be the same as the priest , "Jesus, son of Thebouthi " ( Jewish War , Book VI, VIII.3 )

"Jesus, son of Ananias” pronounces omens against Jerusalem (Jewish War, Book VI, and V.3)

A "Jesus, son of Josedec, the high priest” contemporary Darius (Jewish Antiquities, Book XI, III.1)

Jesus, son of the high priest Onias, who Hellenized the name Jason, a contemporary of Antiochus Epiphanies (Jewish Antiquities, Book XII, V.10)

1. The ecumenical translation of the Bible says “many manuscripts omit the word to Jesus Barabbas.”

------------------------------------------------

Nazareth

------------------------------------------------

For many historians, Jesus, known as the “Jesus the Nazarene," was born around the year 6 BC. BC in Nazareth the Gospels often cited in the Hellenized form Nazara. The “Nazareth “(Nazarene, in Greek) is the man from the village of Nazareth. In the Gospels, Jesus is also referred to as “Nazarene." This term is rappoche the Hebrew nazir, sober, hermit means a man bound to God by a special promise. A bypass neser, descendant offspring is less convincing.

Nazarenes appears the name under which the early Christians are known, the Roman power is then considered as a Jewish dissent likely to disturb public order. A passage from the Acts of the Apostles reports that some Tertullus accuses the Apostle Paul in these words (Acts XXIV, 5):

We have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.

The term was used by the emperor Julian the Apostate on his deathbed: “You won, Nazarene!”(Julien tried to restore after Constantine, the worship of the ancient Roman gods).

Salomea Maria Sklodowska was born November 7, 1867, in Warsaw, Poland. She is the fifth child of a family who already has three daughters. His father, Wladyslaw and his mother Bronislawa are both teachers in Warsaw. In 1868, Wladyslaw was appointed professor and sub- inspector at the gym (the name given to the schools at that time) of the Nowolpiki street. The family moved to a housing allowance. But the Russian occupation is increasingly overwhelming: harassment, police checks, Polish prohibited. In September 1873, the Russian director of the gymnasium, deprives Wladyslaw, his position as Deputy Director, the housing function and reduces its processing teacher. The financial embarrassment moves into the home and to survive Wladyslaw Slodowski accept up to ten residents home. One of them reached typhus infects Sofia’s sister, Maria and her mother. Both of them will die from the disease. To escape the despair Maria clings to work, family and his oppressed country.

Maria going to the gym and therefore receives 12 June 1883 the gold medal. She was sixteen. His father then sends province spent a year in the country, with parents who are home in exchange for some vague lessons for their children. A year of relaxation Marya never forgets. Maria must return to Warsaw, where his father wants. She gives lessons in arithmetic, geometry, French. She also attended “the University Flying”: These are courses in anatomy, natural history, sociology secretly given by a Polish group of intellectuals.

A sister Maria, Bronia dream of studying medicine, but it should go abroad in Poland because women are still not admitted to the university. Moreover Bronia has nothing to pay for his studies. That's when Maria proposes to place as governess in a wealthy family, and send his salary Bronia. When it will be a doctor, it will help turn Maria to finance his studies.

Marya and became a teacher and remained for five years. At the end of 1890 Bronia, married to a Polish student, Dluski Casimir wrote to her younger sister to offer him hospitality at her home in Paris. But he must find the money for the trip, and the passport. Marya saves ruble ruble and September 1891 to 24 years the Polish girl finally arrives in Paris. Upon his arrival in late September 1891 with the money saved in Poland, she enrolled at the Sorbonne and French-fried his name: it is now called Marie Sklodowska.

In the academic year following courses Marie prestigious teachers: Lippmann in physics, mathematics Paul Appall, She works hard to perfect in French, mathematics and physics, But there is too much noise in Dlusky . Both doctors, he clients receive home during the day and are often disturbed at night. Besides the apartment is a gathering place for the Polish capital. Mary then moved to a maid near the Sorbonne.

In July 1893, Mary received the first degree in physics. She then obtained a scholarship from the Polish government, which will allow him to take a degree in Mathematics and start at the same time, in the laboratory of Professor Lippmann, research on the properties of some steels, but it must find a place for store minerals, measurement devices. In spring 1894, the physicist Jozef Kowalski, Staying in Paris, he has pierre curie, already famous physicist to thirty five years.

He may get the local she needs because he is a professor in the School of Physics and Chemistry in Paris. They agreed immediately, even worship of science, even passionate love of nature, even family solidarity. In July 1894 Mary was brilliantly received the second degree in mathematics. She then returned to her native country where she is thinking about becoming a teacher Pierre wrote on August 10, 1894, asking him to return to Paris. They were married July 25, 1895 in the city of Sceaux.

Wedding gift, Pierre and Marie Curie receive two bicycles. A conveyance to adopt immediately, For their honeymoon, they also visit the Ile de France cycling. After the holidays, Pierre teaches at the School of Chemistry, Lhomond Street while Mary continues his scientific research on the magnetic properties of steel in the laboratory of her husband. Meanwhile, she prepares the evening the aggregation of secondary education where she came first in July 1896 contest.

12 September 1897 saw the birth of their first child, Irene. But motherhood does not stop Mary: She wants to do a PhD! After the discovery of X-rays by Roentgen, then uranium rays by Becquerel the scientific world is abuzz. In October 1897, Marie Curie, aged thirty years, chosen as thesis studying the properties of uranium rays.

it systematically examines a large number of chemical compounds and minerals, and discovers an unknown radioactive element. Assisted by Pierre Marie then endeavor to discover the properties of this element. She discovered polonium in July 1898 and radium in December of the same year.

While they seek the radium chloride , scientific discovery is accelerating worldwide : identification of alpha emission , beta, gamma , Germany , discovered radon and Canada , Rutherford , assisted by the brilliant young Soddy shows that radioactivity is a natural transmutation. June 25, 1903, Marie defended her thesis titled “Research on radioactive substances “in November the Davy Medal he was awarded by the Royal Society of London on December 10, the Curies get together with Henri Becquerel the Nobel Prize in Physics. However, their health problems prevent them from going to Stockholm to receive the prize. April 19, 1906, the beginning of a rainy afternoon, Pierre curie died crushed by a van on horseback. Marie left alone.

On May 1, 1906, Marie Curie was appointed lecturer at the Sorbonne in Physics Chair previously occupied by her husband.

She became the first woman in France to access in higher education, to a professorship. At that time Lord Kelvin, a friend of Peter, doubts, in an article in “Times" that radium is a new element. Feeling targeted by these attacks Marie Curie reconvened to isolate, not only as pure radium chloride in 1902, but the radium itself. This was done in 1910. She won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911 and in 1914 she created the Institute of radium.

1 August 1914, France was invaded by the Germans. Marie immediately understand the need to use scientific progress , especially X-rays, to treat the wounded , but she thinks it is better to consider them on the front rather than the back , to back in hospital ...

The team so a car with an X- ray , a doctor , a driver - mechanic and hand on forehead armed with Irene, aged seventeen years as an assistant . Mary is then officially appointed director of radiology department of the Red Cross. Other radiological cars come into service. Teams of nurses and radiologists are expanding. Thousands of injured have been rescued. Found peace, Marie wrote a book on “Radioactivity and war” is showing the extent that can be taken in certain circumstances, unexpected applications of discoveries, initially purely scientific.

In May 1920, Marie Curie gave an interview to a famous American journalist Mary Mattingly Meloney. Marie then explains his lack of credit facilities staff. She knows that in America there are about fifty grams of radium when France does not possess one. The journalist decides to help Marie Curie. She wants to convince wealthy American women, to enable the scientific gain radium she needs. It will launch a huge campaign Press Favor the famous French scholar. But it wills Marie agrees to go to the United States. In early May 1921 she moved with her two daughters, Irene and Eve. Arriving in New York is triumphant. This trip is also a financial success because it has earned Mary not only money but also valuable minerals, materials, many scientific equipment.

The researcher has become an international symbol, invests in a scientific mission radiation and she understands that she should no longer be alone in his laboratory. Now she made many trips, participating in conventions. She followed with interest the work of its employees, including those of Dr. Regard who runs a prestigious center of radiotherapy and branchy therapy for the treatment of tumors.

But Mary knows and she laments that unlike what happens in the Radium Institute (created en1914) of radioactive substances are used carelessly by ignorant physicians and manufacturers of drugs or cosmetics. She cannot do anything because taking no patent for his discoveries; it has given them once and for all the world ... which uses dangerously. On January 15, 1934 Irene Curie and her husband Frederic Joliot, worthy successors to their mother discovered artificial radioactivity. Sometime later (4 July 1934) Marie Curie died of leukemia after .

Biography of John Kennedy

2013-10-07T10:43:00.000+06:00

John Fitzgerald Kennedy was born on May 29, 1917 in Brookline, in the state of Massachusetts. He is the descendant of an Irish Catholic family who immigrated to the United States in the nineteenth century. This is the second of nine children. The richness of John Kennedy and his desire to become president from his father Joseph Kennedy; it was an ambitious businessman who became a millionaire fast enough but more or less honest. After becoming U.S. ambassador to London, his dream is to become the first Catholic president of the United States. But due to some agreement with Hitler, he will never achieve his goal. The death of Joe Jr. (his older brother) John will make the wearer the political ambitions of the ambassador. He entered Harvard University in 1936 in international relations until 1940. During this period, many will travel to London, where his father was ambassador to the U.S...

In 1941, a few months before the war in the United States, Kennedy joins the Navy. In August 1943, Lieutenant John Kennedy controls the PT 109; a torpedo launched must intercept and destroy a Japanese convoy of military equipment. The mission will be a disaster, the ship will be sunk and John Kennedy with a dozen survivors will swim for several hours during the night in order to take refuge on a desert island.

Three days later, the lieutenant and the most valid leave to swim to find an island inhabited sailors. Once found, the natives are responsible for to warn the nearest American base. This adventure is the young lieutenant Kennedy a hero in the eyes of America. The story made the New York Times and Boston newspapers, Joseph Kennedy being enabled to give more publicity to be the case.

In 1946, Kennedy ran for the Siege of Boston in the House of Representatives. Kennedy is a shaky and timid yet to be elected without a problem and even re-elected in 1948 and 1950. He criticized the foreign policy by highlighting the weakness of the federal government against the communist threat. In 1952, it aims to be elected to the Senate seat. And it's a Kennedy little relation with that of 1946, which defeated on its own, ground Cabot Lodge.

A year later, September 12, 1953, John Kennedy married Jacqueline Lee Bouvier, a journalist at the New York Times, the couple had three children: Caroline (born November 27, 1957), John (born November 25, 1960) and Patrick (stillborn in August 1963). In 1956, Kennedy decided to run for the Democratic vice -chair for the presidential elections of 1956. Kennedy will be beaten with only six votes. Finally, Stevenson defeated by Eisenhower. This defeat, one of John Kennedy, will be born one ambition: the 1960 presidential election. In the spring of that year, it is a very sharp Kennedy appearing before the nation. The Republican convention invests surprise Richard Nixon , then Vice President of the United States.

It is with the shortest margin century John F. Kennedy was elected the 35th President of the United States, in fact, only 100,000 votes separate the two candidates, but the U.S. electoral system is such that in terms of status, Kennedy has a large majority. After four years of effort, Kennedy finally came to power and became one of the youngest presidents of the United States (he is 43 years old, only Theodore Roosevelt was elected younger than 42 years). This is the first Catholic president of the U.S. He was inducted President of the United States Earl Warren (President of the Supreme Court) in January 1961.

The policy of Kennedy, who was to bring Western forces face blocks east, but striving to achieve a peaceful balance, began to bear fruit. Unfortunately, due to a small parliamentary majority, John Kennedy could not implement all the reforms desired in terms of U.S. domestic politics.

Despite his young age, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was faced with one of the most difficult crisis of the Cold War: The Cuban missile crisis. This was a two-finger trigger another world war (and possibly atomic) : The Cuban missile crisis , the Vietnam War.

It's Friday, November 22, 1963 at 11:40, under a bright sun that the president and first lady of the United States descended from Air Force One (Presidential aircraft ) at the airport in Dallas (Love Field) . The presidential couple quickly welcomed the crowd up front, accompanied by Texas Governor John Connelly and his wife in the black Lincoln. The presidential motorcade leaving the airport and through the city of Dallas for lunch at the Trade Mart, escorted by 12 bikers from the Dallas police, everyone welcomes the president. There seemed to be no doubt about the popularity of Kennedy. Although the previous day, anti- Kennedy leaflets were distributed in Dallas, Arriving at Dealy Plaza, the driver slowed his pace until almost eerily stop while gunshots rang out. The president is shot in the head and the governor appears injured, the car accelerates again and disappears under the bridge and takes the direction of Parkland Memorial Hospital. We had to shoot the president; right there in front of hundreds of people came to cheer and television cameras.

The news dispatches a new 13 h: the President of the United States of America has been shot by a bullet. Father Oscar Huber was administered the last rites. Many witnesses (80%) say they heard several gunshots coming from different places; such evidence will be supported by the Abraham Zap ruder film. Immediately after Kennedy was shot in the head, many witnesses rushed to a small fence. Among them, a policeman who later claimed to have been certain that the fatal shot was fired from this place (behind the fence). But all are stopped by a man claiming to belong to the secret services and will never have the opportunity to push forward their investigations. 80 % of controls (100 + people) claim that the fatal shot was fired from the fence

In fact, his career really took off when michel berger offered him the role of the young hoodlum Johnny Rockfort for studio recording of " Starmania " rock opera which he composed and Luc Plamondon made the booklet. The character suits him well because he is not far from the ubiquitous revolt displayed by the hero. “Starmania " mounted the following year at the Palais des Congres in Paris.

This does not prevent him from up on stage at the Palais des Sports in Paris from 21 to 30 September 84 concert the subject of a double live album.

The following year, Balavoine enters its second “Paris -Dakar” and this time, the end to an honorable place.

Thereafter, aware of the humanitarian issues, he founded the association with Michel Berger “Action Schools “in the fight against hunger in Africa. Political sensitivities push it to engage.

Mythical figure of post-war Paris, Boris Vian scored the French intellectual and artistic life of a singular footprint. This writer, singer and musician, who died prematurely, left behind a modern and unusual work, a true heritage that future generations have continued to inspire. Boris Vian was born in Paris in Ville d'Avray March 10, 1920. Youngest of his family, he grew up in the middle of three siblings: Leloir, Alain and Ninon . His parents, Paul and Yvonne, raise their children in a joyful atmosphere where culture and refinement loom large. Paul Vian, annuitant, teaches his family the freedoms and distrust of the Church and the Army. In 1929, the financial crisis is affecting the family leaving the villa Warblers to move into the apartment doorman. Handicapped by poor health, Boris is educated at home by a particular teacher.

Thus early, it can read and write. At 10 years, the classics of French literature have no secrets for him. At age 12, he had his first heart problems. It will continue to suffer. Teenager, Boris is a student at the Lycee de Sevres in high school Hoche Versailles then Condorcet in Paris. It prepares classical studies characterized by the study of Latin and Greek languages . Meanwhile, he taught himself English. Brilliant and cultured, he spent a first degree at age 15, then a second when he was 17.

Not only the young Boris mastered the French language, literature and the manipulation of words, but he is passionate from his 16 years in music and in particular jazz, yet few listened to musical form in France. He quickly acquired a thorough knowledge of the genre and became a member of the Hot Club of France. He starts playing the trumpet at age 17. On the eve of the war, Boris is a young man who divides his time between writing, music and the organization of memorable evenings he is a pillar with his brothers. Sometimes up to 400 people crowded into the ballroom constructed in the garden of the Villa de Ville d’Avray. Famous for his sense of fun and taste the hoax, it is master of revelry - of all kinds.

In 1939, he avoids mobilization because of his failing health and joined the Ecole Centrale des Arts et Manufactures in Angouleme, where she moved because of the war. The spring 42 encased Diploma engineer, metallurgy section. In 1939, Boris meets a young woman named Monett with whom he became engaged. In 40, the Vian family left Paris and settled in Gironde. This, in Capbreton, that during the summer of 1940 , Boris met one that will become his first wife , Michele Leglise also taken refuge in the Lands with his family. They were married July 3, 1941 and have two children, Patrick and Carole 42 48. This summer he also met Jacques Loustallot says “Major “. This very young man of 15 hits Vian by his delusional and eccentric behavior. The two men became very close to the accidental death of Major at 48.

In addition to his work as an engineer, Boris Vian began to write his first book at 41, “The hundred sonnets," a book that will not be published until 1984! Fascinated by the culture of the absurd, the exploration of the most surreal intellectual exercises Vian develops various activities such as Circle Legateux already created before the war. This club of friends allows its members among others to play chess, making short films and even develop reduced in " The Flying Section , unleashed , social and cosmic science of aeronautical engineering " models. Serious as crazy, this circle also allows some to engage in the practice of safe fun rhymes led by Vian himself. Everything is good to meet friends, have fun while engaging each time an intellectual exercise. Vian continues to create and imagine.

Just graduated, he joined the AFNOR, the French standardization association in the glassware section. This company more serious, he inspired many writings. He resigned in 46. At 42, he wrote "Troubles in windrows” which will be published very late, only in 1966. It was at this time that he became trumpeter in the orchestra clarinetist Claude Abadie, which is then, renamed orchestra Abadie - Vian. Boris will find Alain and Lelio, respectively drummer and guitarist. Together they participate in many competitions and tournaments jazz lovers.

To 44, Vian published his first texts under pseudonyms such Bison Ravi (anagram of Boris Vian) or Hugo Hochebuisson. As the Bison Ravi, he wrote a poem that evokes the prohibition of American jazz by the Germans. At that time, he also began writing his first songs like “the good old days “written on music of one of his friends, Johnny Sabrou text. But the event, which will take its full extent in the 50s, is still marginal in his work.

At 45, he signed a contract with Gallimard for his novel “Vercoquin and Plankton." 1946 is the year of publication of his most famous novel, “The Foam of Days”. It was at this time that he met the couple Simone de Beauvoir and Jean -Paul Sartre, pillars of the literary elite of Saint -Germain -des- Press. A few months after “The Foam of the Days," Vian published “I Spit on Your Grave” , a pastiche of American crime novels . He signed Vernon Sullivan and Vian then passed to the translator. The book caused a scandal for its content a tad iconoclastic. But it is a bestseller at 47. Same with “The dead have the same skin" in 47 and “And we kill all terrible “at 48. Scandal and success

War ended, life gets more beautiful and especially the artistic and cultural life. Places open, jazz invaded the capital; the younger generations are getting into a permanent party, party to which Vian actively involved. He rides a choir 47 he calls “The small choir of Saint -Germain -des- Feet”. Among the new trendy places include Le Tabou , 33 rue Dauphine , in the heart of Saint -Germain -des- Press . This tiny box jazz quickly became an essential point in Paris that moves in the years after the war. Boris Vian and Alain alive with their orchestra. The story even suggests that Boris would have written “Anthem ": “Ah, if I had a fifty franc “. It crosses Juliette Greco, muse of Saint -Germain and future star of the song, and the existentialist youth time. Boris is unfortunately stopping the trumpet at the same time for health reasons. However, it remains more than ever an authority on jazz and includes the preparation of Jazz Hot magazine at 46. For over 10 years, prepare for them a press and numerous articles.

In the late ‘40s, Vian leaves Tabou in favor of another jazz cellar, the Club Saint -Germain -des- Press, a few steps away, Saint Benedict. He received the famous American jazz musicians including Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker and Miles Davis. Multiplying to infinity activities, Vian wrote at the time his first cabaret. It also provides the translation of crime novels including those of Raymond Chandler in the series “Black Series”, Galliard. In 49, along with Jazz Hot, he became editor of Jazz News. Increasingly, he divides his time between his various occupations and abandons his job at the Office of Professional and business industries of paper and cardboard.

Few literary fields beyond Vian, If he started writing songs years ago , 49 scored his first success in the field with the title " This is the bebop " played by a young crazy jazz singer Henri Salvador , with music by pianist jazz Jack Dieval . With the latter, Vian work until the very early 50s, However, Vian and Salvador will meet in the 50 years to produce dozens of success.

In the early 50s, Vian devoted much theater. In 1950, rode “The Rendering for” whose textual rhythm is very musical and very syncopated. More than ever, Vian plays with words and turns them into as many notes in a voice ballet. The same year he also wrote his first musical, “Gialiano “. At 51, he wrote “The general taste “that will not be played before the 60s. Then 52, Vian enjoyed success with " cinemassacre or fifty years of cinema “and” Paris varies Fluctuat nec mergitur or " at the end of the year.

Separated from Michele, he moved to 51 with a young German dancer, Ursula Kubler. They married at 54. Writing pace continues to accelerate. In addition, money worries push it to translate a vengeance for Gallimard. After the theater, novels, poetry and song, Boris Vian packs for a new literary genre, science fiction, and style still unknown in Europe. This discovery inspired a song a few years later, “the Martian Java.”

In 1952, Boris Vian joined the College as pat physics qu'Equarisseur first class. Under these names to obscure meaning, lies a circle of people studying pataphysics science of imaginary solutions and virtual concept updated at the end of the nineteenth century by the writer Alfred Jarry. A few months later, Vian was appointed satrap there, then the next year, Promoter insignia of the Order of the Great Gidouille, and various levels of this prestigious meeting, which counts among its members such names as Raymond Queneau , Eugene Ionesco or Jacques Prevert . Boris spends a lot of time at the College until the end of his days.

In 1954, Boris Vian began to devote much time to the song. The beginning of the war in Indochina in particular inspires today mythical title, "The Deserter” clear anti -militarist. With a solid repertoire already, producer Jacques Canetti’s commitment in 1955 as a tavern, the Three Donkeys, as well as on the stage of La Fontaine des Quatre Saisons. He met with some success that earned him his first record in April. Under the title “possible and impossible songs," Vian there are the titles of his singing tour. The album, 1,000 copies, is censored because of the song “Renegade “whose purpose is considered outrageous by many. The scandal also arises during the tour Boris Vian gives throughout the summer. Some concerts lead to violent reactions from the public.

After jazz, thriller, science fiction, Vian brings to his work a new style from America and still marginal in France, rock'n'roll . With music composed by Alain Goraguer, Michel Legrand and Henri Salvador, Vian wrote often funny and brilliant texts. From 56, he made numerous recordings for Philips, as a performer but also as a director. Thus we discover famous titles such as " Rock'n'roll Mops " by Henry Cording (aka Henri Salvador) or “Make me bad Johnny" by Magali Noel. Besides rock, Boris draws the most diverse musical styles including java until then; nobody had left his popular image. This will give titles such as “Java atomic bombs ", “Java socks nail ",” Javanese Java " or " Java worldly." Under very funny outside Vian sometimes hides committed and protesters texts. He knows perfectly combine the two.

Increasingly known for the uniqueness of his songs, many singers rely on him with Renee Lebas and Mouloudji imposing the song “The Deserter “. Despite severe lung odemes that multiply, Vian hardly ever its many activities. He wrote librettos ( " Fiesta " in 58 with music by Darius Milhaud ) , comments of documentaries ( " Mona Lisa " in 57) , plays in movies ( " A love of pocket " by Pierre Kast ) , translated plays ( August Strindberg ) and became artistic director for Philips 57 and for hard Fontana next year.

He wrote more songs, many of which are pearls directory “I’m a snob," "The Merry butchers ", “We’re not there to be yelled at” or “I drink." In addition, in 1958, he finished writing “Let the zloty.” Show inspired by his experience in the majors. In the heyday of the song “literary” - sings Prevert, Aragon, Sartre and even Queneau - Vian’s work is highly noticed.

Very tired, Boris Vian trying to rest more frequently, but many activities do not leave him alone. At 59, he knows a lot of trouble with the film adaptation of "I Spit on Your Grave”, a project which will be finally eliminated. In April, he made a final appearance in the movie “Dangerous Liaisons" roger vadim, with Jeanne Moreau.

After Philips and Fontana is Barclay Boris Vian became artistic director. But it will not have much time to register his paw. On June 11, 59, and Boris Ursula give a big party at home, Cite Veron , to celebrate the new head of the College of Pat physics . A few days later, on 23 June, he attended the screening of the film “I Spit on Your Grave “but dies when the first images of this adaptation in which he did not recognize himself.

It leaves a huge void in the artistic life of the time. But its footprint continues to confirm since. His songs have been repeatedly performed by artists as diverse as Jacques Higelin serge reggiani, Mouloudji, Catherine Sauvage, the Jacques Yves Montand Lavilliers or even Maurice Chevalier Brothers at 57, took over the unforgettable “Pan leek potato “. Strong drives and many boxes were published posthumously after his death. Finally regular performances resuming its securities are assembled in France with “Let the zloty" , played Aug. 99 in Paris.

Some of his works are classics of French literature, studied in schools and discussed in schools. By his sense of humor mixed with despair, his taste for the absurd, certain irreverence and his rebellious choice, Boris Vian became a figure revered by the younger generations. His work is the result of a total openness and free thinking. Its modernity is well established.

From soprano range, she addressed a wide range of roles from from bel canto to dramatic soprano, and is remembered as one of the greatest singers of the twentieth century, both by the very specific timbre of his voice and his ability to animate the characters she played. If "the Callas' remains, without doubt, the most famous singer of the second half of the twentieth century, his fame is partly due to the wrong reasons.

It was the Lucia di Lammermoor of his generation, revealing beyond vocals mastered with insolence, the multiple facets of a disturbing character, which did not prevent him to embody Isolde with the same ardor. No gratuitous virtuosity or reckless hedonism in his interpretations but the objective is to make the most expressive music and return to its musical score and dramatic truth likelihood qualities and defects using a tone of voice whose purity n was not the first quality. It was one of the first to show that the opera, you could play as the theater or cinema, and use his physical (remember how she modeled her own, unflattering, initially) and body. The two roles she has scarred, Norma and Tosca, she real incarnations. All thanks to a flawless artistic intuition supported by ongoing work.Singer released conventions, daring to restore honor to the neglected works, model of rigor and requirements, Maria Callas bequeathed to his successors a lesson that has not always been followed.

Disappeared on 14 March 1975 one of the most beautiful women of the American screen. It was also an extremely talented actress, making once more absurd lie the legend that beauty and talent do not convolute together. With admirable fleece fawn, his lovely smile, her eyes sparkling with mischief, she represented the glamour goddesses of the screen it has more fascinating. Hollywood has imposed the admiration of the crowd of stars a rare physical perfection but I do not hesitate to write that Susan Hayward was better than beautiful: a feast for the eyes, splendidly woman. It could not be dazzled by the charm that emanated from her especially since it was not finishing. She arrived in California, called by David O. Selznick, who, seeking Scarlett O'Hara's "Gone with the Wind” thought he had found in an issue of the Saturday Evening Post in 1937. Physically, she had actually made an ideal choice. Unfortunately, the "test" that proved disastrous and turned abruptly, Selznick told him. "Regain your Brooklyn and register in a dramatic course we will see in two or three years ...” It was very unfamiliar with this voluntary and stubborn redhead. Instead of doing as suggested by Selznick, she encrustation, managed to get a modest six-month contract with Warner, where he was made to attend the dramatic course of the studio. In reality, only its beauty and captivating as it is mere ornament that made her start on the screen in "Hollywood Hotel", where his name is not even appeared in the credits. On the left quickly leave without further ado. A starlet over not eating every day to satisfy his hunger! Paramount agreed to give him another chance, and with the firm, she signed a contract for $ 350 per week. His first film gave him three partners of choice: Gary Cooper , Ray Mill and Robert Preston. But "Beau Geste" was only a movie man on the Foreign Legion still a semblance of decorative role. However, she was at work, the future looked so dark. Acquired it and what made him the default experience. His progress was slow, however: you cannot access without serious training to stardom. Susan turned everything presented without complaint, even roles that gave him any satisfaction. At least she knew where she was, what she wanted. In those years professionally rather disappointing, she forged a rule of conduct that, throughout his life, she was scrupulously fanatically observed: "I refuse to be discouraged no matter what happens." And she kept her word. Even more desperately ill cancer inoperable brain tumors and knowing that each passing day could be the last, she remained wrestler with his doctor said, "I have never seen such extraordinary will to live." And courage never ceased to be admirable. Converted to Catholicism, his faith was his lifeline during the last years of his life. While she enjoyed triumphs during his life as an actress but her tests were not spared either. At six, she was hit by a drunk driver and it was thought that she would never walk again. The result of months of immobility in bed, which she later said, "But everyone brought me constantly gifts: a nice compensation.”Daughter of poor parents, raised in a rather miserable Brooklyn one of his comrades there was Ira Grosses, who would later become Jeff Chandler , if it was spoiled and pampered by her parents, she was also quickly hardened by the way of life in a world without real sun. This was the time when it was important to ensure a good little corner to sell newspapers. When his brother was an impediment, Susan, still Edythe Mar-render at the time, replaced, making the punch with the bad guys in the neighborhood who tried to usurp conquered with so much trouble. The father keeps underground and in his spare time, barker at the amusement park at Conley Island had bequeathed to his three children the legacy of his philosophy of life: "It must constantly fight for his beliefs." In this environment, it helped them survive. And the girl, who refused to yield an inch of ground gained, would remember all his life. "As a foretaste of what was waiting for me in my early years of struggle in Hollywood, she said. also time when it was appropriate to dodge all the shots down. Bah I was dressed.... “What a brilliant actress she managed to become when she managed to escape stereotypical jobs where it was long confined! And the first real opportunity came in 1947 with "A Lost Life" in its wake a first nomination for the Oscar. And there would be others: in 1949 for "My Foolish Heart" in 1952 for "A Chorus in My Heart" in 1955 for "A Woman in hell."And then she missed very little the coveted statuette. Alas, there were nominated this year Anna Magnani in a spectacular setting: the "The Rose Tattoo." And Susan had to wait another three years to win his victory, which was all the more striking. Because it was overwhelming in the guise of lethal Barbara Graham in "I want to live." A terrible story, overwhelming role! It was assumed that she had given the best of herself in "I'll Cry Tomorrow," which also earned him the award for Best Actress at Cannes. But it manages to be even more extraordinary here, actress in the most impressive sense of the word. In comparison, all the films she would turn then would suffer without it was his fault. However, its producers tried, sometimes in the drama, sometimes in comedy, giving him a chance to shine again. In vain With the film's Oscar, Susan had just reached its zenith in 1944, when she was struggling with all his energy, all his talent, to try to impose in Hollywood, she married for love an actor without moving a lot of air, was an honest career, Jess Barker. She bore him twins. Then came what sometimes happens in households artists suddenly for no specific reason, nobody wanted Jess while Susan continued blithely a road leading right to the summit. This imbalance sours the character of this "star husband." Happiness crumbled ... After a horrific scene in which Susan was beaten to a pulp, and then thrown her irascible husband in the pool at their home, far overflowed. Susan demanded divorce, Jess, living in his hooks, stubbornly refusing him. The trial was the "one" of newspapers in the United States. Susan won but not without many tears shed bitter because Jess was engaged to blackmail the child so as not to lose his livelihood. It was when it was over, that Susan should resume learning happiness and it was not easy because it was out of the race very traumatized. However happiness would smile at him again because, in 1956, two years after the tragedy that had ravaged his private life, she met Floyd Eaton Chalkley, a Georgia businessman. And it was all great love. Yet there was another drama, exactly one year ago when she fell in love unwisely actor Don Barry. A doomed love in advance, really not easy and it led to the only real moment of despair in his life. The wrestler that everyone admired the tenacity wanted, in a moment of supreme discouragement to end life. She took an overdose of barbiturates. She was saved by a miracle, and a fortnight later, MGM resumed its role as Lillian Roth in "I'll Cry Tomorrow." Giving it all its intensity, she was stunning. Everyone was expecting it to Oscar and when that famous night, the name of Anna Magnani was proclaimed instead of his own, a great murmur in the room. We also saw Susan Hayward burst into tears: the first, the only time she lost the empire in public esteem. His union with Chalkley was extremely happy. He did not ask him to give up his job but it is a fact that she was now more attracted to a family life with him in Carrollton, Georgia, by the false hopes of a career in which she had as given. And here once again fate dealt him a terrible blow: the man she loved with all his heart, all his soul, died suddenly undermined by a pernicious hepatitis. As she explained to me, "When Eaton died, it's like a game, the most of me died with him they were both my son, who have provided me the joy that I saved from despair when I fell. Again, I learned to live ... “She decided never to make films. But it was not forgotten and Mark Robson , when he was forced to do without the services of Judy Garland , as the conduct of it was unbearable during the filming of "The Valley of the Dolls", sent an SOS to the faithful friend Susan Hayward. And she came. The role was short: just ten days of shooting. But a change in his life was necessary and film, such as TV, brought it to him. She said however that it was not a final return and the finished film, returned to his home. Once again, it would come out of this retreat: to give reply to William Holden in "The Wild Pursuit". Soon after, she began to feel the first symptoms of the disease that would kill him. She struggled valiantly, desperately, suffering patiently endless examinations through which experts sought to determine the progress of his illness. Wrestler remained in this frail body where the pain was long established. It is a heart that was stopped because of its resistance. But the battle was lost before...

At that time, the family business is ruined (too traditional for this time of industrialization, and arguably mismanaged). Bernadette knows hunger and disease, she can barely read and write. Fragile (it is especially asthma) health, it seems less than his age. It is also beautiful girl, according to testimony at the time and as evidenced by the photographs that were taken of her. His religious sentiment is already very strong, even if she does not know about all of the catechism ("[...] if the Blessed Virgin chose me am because I was the most ignorant!"

Bernadette shows apparitions of the Virgin from 1858. At its ninth appearance, she follows the directions of the Virgin and discovers a water source at the foot of the Massabielle grotto at Lourdes.

Then she adds, "I do not promise to make you happy in this world but in the other. Do you have to come here for a fortnight?" 4. Friday, February 1858 19. Bernadette came to the cave and blessed with a lighted candle (which has since become a tradition). The lady appears briefly. 5 . Saturday, February 20, 1858. The lady tells a personal prayer to Bernadette who, at the end of his vision, has received a great sadness. 6. Sunday, February 1858 21. A hundred people accompanied Bernadette. The woman came (to Bernadette only) and the police commissioner Jacomet asked about what she saw. Bernadette simply repeats "Aquero" (that) 7. Tuesday, February 23, 1858.

Bernadette explains that the lady asked to drink from the source: "Go drink at the fountain and wash yourself. You eat this grass growing there.” Bernadette said later: "I found a little muddy water. In the fourth test I could drink.” The crowd accused of being crazy and she replied: "It is for sinners." 10. Saturday, February 27, 1858. Eight hundred people accompanied Bernadette.

The crowd is very important. The lady asked Bernadette: "Go and tell the priests to come here in procession and to build a chapel."

Wednesday, March 3, 1858. Three thousand people accompanied Bernadette. The vision does not come.

The apparition to Bernadette shows and said Gascon bigourdan - the language spoken by Bernadette - lifting eyes and clasping her hands: "Que soy era immaculada Councepciou." Bernadette holds these words, she does not understand, and tell the court the priest, who is troubled, four years earlier, Pope Pius ix made the "Immaculate Conception" dogma and Bernadette said that ignore it refers to the Virgin. The rose has not bloomed. 17. Wednesday, April 7, 1858. Dr. Douzous finds that the flame of the candle held by Bernadette during the apparitions around his hand without burning. 18. Thursday, July 16, 1858. This is the last appearance. A fence prevents access to the cave. Bernadette crossed the Game and sees the blank exactly as if it was in front of the cave. On July 28, 1858, twelve days after the last appearance, Mgr Laurence, Bishop of Tarbes, meets an inquiry designed to establish credit that the Church must make claims to Bernadette Soubirous. This committee is responsible for verifying the validity of the "miracles" announced by collecting various testimonies and opinions of scientists and churchmen. It is also responsible for questioning the sincerity of which seem Bernadette "incontestable" (according) to the bishop: "Who does not admire, by approaching, simplicity, candor, modesty of this child? She speaks only when asked, so she tells all without affectation, with touching naivety, and the many questions put to him, it is without hesitation, full clear, precise answers, about, imbued with a strong conviction. "The fact that the girl repeats told by the Virgin that she could not (do you think so) words not know with regard to his lack of education, will be a decisive argument. Meanwhile, the crowd of pilgrims coming to see the cave and ask for help to Mary continues to grow, it has people from all over Europe and further evidence of miracles accumulate. "If we must judge the tree by its fruits, we can say that the appearance told by the girl is supernatural and divine, because it produced supernatural and divine effects" Four years later, January 18, 1862 the Bishop makes his opinion - favorable: "We believe that the Immaculate Mary, Mother of God, really appeared to Bernadette Soubirous on 11 February 1858 and the following days, the number of eighteen times in the cave Massabielle, near the town of Lourdes apparition that takes all the characters from the truth , and the faithful are based on some believe. We humbly submit our judgment to the judgment of the Supreme Pontiff, who is responsible to govern the universal Church. "So Lourdes, modest capital of the Pyrenees, carefully avoided by the spa tourism then exploding - its water n had not the healing properties attributed to those of Luchon, Cauterets or Bagneres-de-Bigorre - quickly became the most popular tourist destination in the region. A commonly forgotten fact: in Garaison (now Monleon-Magnoac, 70 km from Lourdes), a young girl named Angleze of Sagasan claimed to have heard the Virgin asked him to build a chapel near the source. That was around 1520. The chapel has been built and the town was a place of worship and religious tourism in the following centuries. Bernadette wanted to make her communion and for that she had to learn to read and write in French. She is admitted to the "school of the poor", at the Hospice of Lourdes, held since 1836 by the Sisters of Charity of Nevers. There, she learns, learns to read and learn the catechism and a craft. Observers at the time noted that his recollection in prayer is impressive, but it is also gay, cheerful, playful and rather authoritarian with his companions - who nonetheless appreciate a lot. Upon reflection she chose the Sisters of Charity of Nevers his desire to live a religious life. Mother House of the congregation is to Nevers. With its superior, it is obedience to any test, as evidenced by an anecdote: Bernadette was forbidden to return to the cave and asked him: "If you ordered the Virgin to go, what would you?". Bernadette said: "I would ask permission from the parish priest." Outside, we begin to make a worrying worship young Bigorre. Picture when buying the newspapers talk about it, we want to see. The wisest course is away from Lourdes. Some people like the British essayist Ruth Harris (Lourdes. The big story of the apparitions, pilgrimages and healings, Jean-Claude Lattes, 2001), do not hesitate to say that Bernadette was somehow "disappear" from his life so that the Church can fully control the capitalization of miracles Lourdais. For a girl without a dowry, life sister was hard to imagine, but Bernadette is now famous and various convents are ready to welcome him. So she leaves the Pyrenees never see it again. She joined July 7, 1866, the Sisters of Charity of Nevers. She is thirteen years during which it will be treated without special consideration. She held the positions of assistant nurse in charge of the infirmary and sacristan. The last four years, it is especially sick. Reaching bone tuberculosis, and suffering from his chronic asthma contracted at the age of 11 years, during the great cholera epidemic in the Hautes-Pyrenees, she died April 16 Nevers 1879 at the age of thirty-five years. For the purposes of canonization, his body must be recognized. His coffin will be open three times and found intact body. Since 1925 She sits in a glass shrine and bronze in the chapel of the Espace Bernadette in Nevers. During the exhumation, his body was washed and contact with "detergents" had blackened his skin: the body of the Venerable Bernadette is intact, the complete skeleton, muscles atrophied but well preserved, and the leathery skin appears to have been only the moisture coffin . She took a grayish color and is covered with some mold and a certain amount of crystals of calcium salts (...) (Dr. Talon and Dr. Earl, who examine the body after 1923), cited by Dominique Lormier in Bernadette Soubirous, ed. CMD, 1999. In the same book we learn that a few years later, Bernadette skin blackened. Bernadette's face and his hands were thus covered with a very thin wax mask for the public presentation. Bernadette Soubirous was beatified and canonized June 14, 1925 December 8, 1933.

Biography of James Douglas Morrison

2013-10-01T22:01:00.000+06:00

James Douglas Morrison, charismatic singer and lyricist of The Doors outrageous, was born December 8, 1943 in Melbourne (Florida) to a military father and a housewife mother. After an eventful early youth, he spent with his brother, his sister and his mother, multiple removals due to displacement as the army imposed on his father, the Elvis Presley fan, lover of literature and poetry, eventually settled in Los Angeles (California), where he studied film at the famous UCLA (University of California Los Angeles) in the first half of the 1960s. It was at this time that he finally cut ties with the Morrison family, more than he had received strict education having probably predisposed to leave them. We can also surmise that Jim Morrison never saw his family in order to preserve it, because of the success he experienced soon after breaking with his band The Doors.Founded in 1965 with Ray Manzarek (organ, bass) - another film student, several years his senior, met at UCLA - small training also consisted of Robbie Krieger (guitar) and John densmore . (drums) Music The Doors, mix of jazz, folk, pop, blues and other influences from the eclecticism of its members, has often been called intellectual, probably because of the variety of styles she brewed, but also texts because of its singer, Jim Morrison, whose clear and deep voice, hoarse and deep, poetic litanies surreal rocked a growing audience that has never diminished the generation gap. The public image of Jim Morrison is primarily that of a handsome young man with dark curls, blue staring into space, wearing a black leather pants, and who gave a show in every sense of the word, the scene as the city. The scandals have marred her short life: numerous arrests for indecent exposure, insulting officials and public drunkenness in particular.Many mistresses and lovers after some shared his bed, and the most it would have passed various drugs in the body. But Morrison himself, we do not finally know much despite numerous articles and biographies have been devoted. Danny Sugerman, Ray Manzarek , more recently, with a touch more highly touted Stephen Davis and other biographers have focused on the case, where it appears that Jim Morrison was a being of great kindness often overshadowed by its hallucinatory tendencies (which would not come only drugs and alcohol he ingested as known quantity) and his ego, sometimes overdeveloped, sometimes uncertain. Colorful character who rubbed shoulders with the big names of the era - including Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin , with whom he shares the characteristic as it is known to be dead at age 27 - Morrison has collected mistresses while remaining faithful to his way to death his only official fiancée, the lovely redheadPamela Courson . It also hid behind her pretty face covered with freckles serious penchant for drugs. Only be blameless in the life of Morrison, his dog, Sage, a kind of black labrador. But Morrison has also shown an avid recognition may eventually assumed wrong. His erotic and charismatic image, which has earned him some success, has also led to ugly to show the public that he was capable of something else: writing, filming. There is only one way to get an idea of who was really Jim Morrison read his poems, listen to the words of his songs, watch videos that show live or long and short films that he or friends at the time were made, what he read and movies and music that made him happy or creative. His fascination with the American Indians and the desert is certainly eloquent, as well as his love of literature. HWY. An American Pastoral, the last film directed by Morrison is emblematic of his passions and his special magic. And it is these aspects of the character, apart from the image of rebel rebellious years away in the army, politicians, the American family model in 1960, remained in the memories and deeply influenced artists to it succeeded. The shadow of Morrison flat indeed in the most interesting works of yesterday and today, evidenced by such films as Easy Rider (1969) by Peter founded and Dennis Hopper , Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1994 ) by Terry Gilliam and The Big Lebowski (1998), the Cohen brothers, which together sum up then, the mindset, and make, consciously or not, a tribute to the artist and his era. The same literature, Morrison, himself an amateur Aldous Huxley, Oscar Wilde , William Blake and many other mythical figures of literature, whose style is reminiscent of another American poet, Walt Whitman has inspired many texts. You could see him in such good news of Stephen King : Rockn 'Roll Heaven, alongside yet Hendrix and Joplin, and a host of dead musicians of the sixties. He also inspired his lyrical Viggo Mortensen and his ghost hovers over many productions and groups. His death, the circumstances of which remain unclear today, has certainly helped to anchor in the collective imagination of the legend that was called, half-serious, half-ironic, the Lizard King. The wildest rumors circulated about it, from the overdose heart attack through murder and murder sponsored by the CIA. Indeed, it was sometimes claimed that Jimi Hendrix , Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin and other figures of the time, but today, died in the prime of life, had been deemed troublesome by the Government U.S.. This assumption seems fairly likely because any and all revolutionary libertarian crowd entertainer he was, we all know that before Jim Morrison (like any other controversial star of yesterday and today - is also believed to waves generated by Marilyn Manson) was an artist, and artists rarely come to lead nations. At 27, worn, having lived in a few years what others take a lifetime experience, Jim Morrison is dead at Paris, as Oscar Wildeand his grave as that of the latter is located in the cemetery of Pere Lachaise where it is for more than thirty years the subject of a cult. And while some visit this mysterious place, others fantasize about ghost singer of The Doors, up to claim it is living in secret and lead a quiet life, a bit like those who still believe have Cross Elvis Presley , alive too, a cheeseburger in hand. Still, Jim Morrison left us in the company of a beautiful Doors directory as well as exciting and surreal poetry.
