Jessica Watson, Sail Solo Around the World, Non Stop and Unassisted. (16 years old)

Jessica Watson

Jessica Watson is an Australian sailor who gained international recognition for her solo sail around the world at the age of 16. Her journey began on October 18, 2009, when she set sail from Sydney Harbor on board her yacht, "Ella's Pink Lady." The voyage was expected to take around seven months, during which she would sail 23,000 nautical miles.

Jessica had been sailing since she was a young child and had dreamed of sailing around the world ever since she had read about it in a book. Her parents were initially hesitant about the idea, but Jessica was determined to pursue her dream. She spent two years preparing for her journey, learning navigation, boat maintenance, and safety skills. She also underwent physical and mental training to prepare for the challenges of solo sailing.

Jessica's journey was not without its challenges. She faced rough seas, storms, equipment failures, and sleep deprivation. At one point, her yacht was hit by a cargo ship, causing damage that she had to repair while at sea. Despite these obstacles, Jessica persevered and successfully completed her journey.

On May 15, 2010, Jessica sailed back into Sydney Harbor, greeted by thousands of well-wishers and media from around the world. Her accomplishment made her the youngest person to sail solo and unassisted around the world, a record previously held by another Australian sailor, Jesse Martin. Her achievement was recognized by the Australian government, and she was awarded the Order of Australia Medal.

Jessica's journey inspired many people around the world, particularly young people, to pursue their dreams and overcome challenges. She became an advocate for youth involvement in sailing and has since written a book about her experience, titled "True Spirit." The book has been translated into several languages and has been read by people around the world.

Laura dekker

Laura Dekker is a Dutch sailor who gained international attention in 2009 when she announced her plans to become the youngest person to sail solo around the world. At the time, she was just 13 years old.

Laura was born on September 20, 1995, in Whangarei, New Zealand, to Dutch parents. Her family moved to the Netherlands when she was a child, and she grew up sailing on her family's boat.

In 2009, Laura announced her plans to sail around the world solo. Her plans were met with controversy, as many people felt that it was too dangerous for a 13-year-old to undertake such a journey. The Dutch government even tried to prevent her from leaving, arguing that she was too young and inexperienced.

Despite the opposition, Laura remained determined to pursue her dream. She spent the next year preparing for her journey, including taking sailing lessons, obtaining sponsorship, and upgrading her boat, a 38-foot-long ketch named Guppy.

Finally, on August 21, 2010, at the age of 14, Laura set sail from Gibraltar, beginning her journey around the world. Over the course of the next year, she sailed over 27,000 nautical miles, stopping at ports in the Canary Islands, the Caribbean, the Galapagos Islands, French Polynesia, Australia, and many other places.

During her journey, Laura encountered numerous challenges, including rough seas, equipment failures, and loneliness. She also faced criticism and scrutiny from the media, as well as legal challenges from the Dutch government, which attempted to have her placed under state supervision.

Despite these difficulties, Laura persevered, and on January 21, 2012, she successfully completed her journey, arriving back in St. Maarten in the Caribbean. She was 16 years old at the time, and her achievement made her the youngest person to sail solo around the world.

Laura's journey inspired many people around the world, and she has since become a motivational speaker and author. In 2015, she published a book about her journey called "One Girl, One Dream."

King David's "mighty men"

King David's Mighty Men were a group of highly skilled warriors who served under King David during his reign as King of Israel. One of the most famous stories about these warriors is the story of the "Thirty-Seven" or the "Three".

According to the biblical account in 2 Samuel 23, the "Thirty-Seven" were a group of David's most elite warriors who performed extraordinary feats of valor on the battlefield. They were led by three of David's most trusted and respected warriors: Josheb-Basshebeth, Eleazar son of Dodai, and Shammah son of Agee.

The story goes that one day, during a battle against the Philistines, the Israelite army became tired and hungry, and the Philistines took advantage of this by occupying a field of lentils. Despite the odds, the "Thirty-Seven" remained loyal to their king and refused to let the Philistines take what rightfully belonged to the Israelites.

The three leaders of the "Thirty-Seven" were particularly fierce in their determination to defend the lentil field. Josheb-Basshebeth, also known as Adino the Eznite, single-handedly killed eight hundred enemy soldiers in one battle. Eleazar son of Dodai, meanwhile, fought so valiantly that his hand became stuck to his sword, and he had to pry it loose after the battle was won. And Shammah son of Agee stood his ground in the middle of the lentil field and fought off the Philistines until his sword grew tired in his hand.

These feats of bravery were not only remarkable but also helped secure the Israelites' victory in the battle. David was so impressed by his mighty men that he poured out the water they had risked their lives to bring him from the well of Bethlehem, saying, "Is not this the blood of the men who went at the risk of their lives?" (2 Samuel 23:17).

The story of the "Thirty-Seven" is just one example of the incredible courage and loyalty exhibited by David's Mighty Men. Their stories have been remembered and celebrated for thousands of years, and they continue to inspire people today with their unwavering devotion to their king and their country.

The Moriones Festival

The Moriones first appeared in Mogpog in 1807 as initiated by the Parish Priest, Father Dionisio Santiago. This is the reason why Mogpog claimed to be the origin of Moriones. This tradition is observed by men, and now, even by some women during the Holy Week starting from Holy Monday to Easter Sunday.

The Moriones Festival is a religious and cultural festival held during Holy Week on the island of Marinduque in the Philippines. It is a popular and colorful celebration that attracts tourists from all over the country.

The festival is named after the "morions," which are men and women who dress up in masks and costumes resembling Roman soldiers. The costumes are made of brightly colored materials and are designed to be as realistic as possible.

During the festival, the morions parade through the streets of Marinduque, reenacting the story of the Roman soldier Longinus. According to legend, Longinus was blind in one eye and was present at the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. When he saw Jesus die, he was overcome with emotion and proclaimed that Jesus was the Son of God. As punishment, Longinus was blinded in his remaining eye and forced to become a Roman soldier. He later converted to Christianity and was eventually martyred for his faith.

The Moriones Festival also includes a number of other events and activities, including street parties, religious processions, and reenactments of other biblical stories. The festival is a time for the people of Marinduque to come together and celebrate their faith and culture, as well as to welcome visitors from other parts of the Philippines and around the world.

The Maya Civilization

 

The rise of the Maya began about 250 ce, and what is known to archaeologists as the Classic Period of Mayan culture lasted until about 900 ce.

The Maya civilization was an ancient civilization that flourished in parts of present-day Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras from about 2000 BC to the 16th century AD. The Maya civilization is known for its advanced development in writing, mathematics, astronomy, and art.

The Maya developed a complex writing system using hieroglyphs, which was one of the most sophisticated in the pre-Columbian Americas. They also had a sophisticated calendar system, which included a solar calendar of 365 days and a sacred calendar of 260 days.

Maya society was organized into city-states, each with its own ruling elite and a complex social hierarchy. The ruling elite controlled the economy, which was based on agriculture, trade, and tribute.

Maya art and architecture were also highly developed, and they built impressive structures such as pyramids, palaces, and temples. They were skilled in stonework, pottery, weaving, and other crafts.

Despite their achievements, the Maya civilization declined and eventually collapsed for reasons that are still debated by historians and archaeologists. Some theories suggest that environmental factors such as drought and deforestation contributed to their downfall, while others point to political instability, warfare, and the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors.

The Book of Tobit

The Book of Tobit is a story of faith, trust, and God's mercy

Tobit was a righteous man who lived in the city of Nineveh during the reign of King Shalmaneser of Assyria. He was of the tribe of Naphtali and had been taken captive to Nineveh with the rest of the northern kingdom of Israel. Tobit was a devout Jew who followed the laws and traditions of his people, and he was known for his generosity and kindness to the poor and needy.

One day, Tobit was blinded by bird droppings that fell into his eyes. Feeling helpless and unable to care for himself, he prayed for God to take his life. At the same time, in the city of Ecbatana, a young woman named Sarah was also in distress. She had been married seven times, but each of her husbands had been killed on their wedding night by a demon named Asmodeus. Her father, Raguel, had given up hope of finding a husband for her, and Sarah was also praying for death.

God heard the prayers of Tobit and Sarah and sent the archangel Raphael to help them. Disguised as a human, Raphael traveled with Tobit's son Tobias to Ecbatana to marry Sarah. With Raphael's guidance and protection, Tobias was able to overcome the demon and marry Sarah. He also returned home with a cure for his father's blindness.

The Book of Tobit is a story of faith, trust, and God's mercy. It teaches the importance of following God's commandments and living a righteous life, even in the face of adversity. It also emphasizes the power of prayer and the role of angels in God's plan.

Philippines saved 1,200 Jews during the Holocaust

Jewish Refugees, Philippines

The Holocaust was a genocide that took place during World War II, primarily in Europe. The Nazi regime, led by Adolf Hitler, targeted and systematically murdered approximately six million Jews, as well as millions of other people including Romani people, disabled individuals, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, and political dissidents.

The Holocaust began in 1933 when Hitler and the Nazi party came to power in Germany, and it ended in 1945 with the defeat of Nazi Germany by Allied forces. The Nazis used a variety of methods to carry out the genocide, including mass shootings, gas chambers, and forced labor.

The Holocaust is considered one of the greatest atrocities in human history, and it had a profound impact on the world. It led to the creation of Israel as a Jewish homeland, and it also resulted in the establishment of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which recognizes the inherent dignity and worth of every human being and seeks to prevent future human rights violations.

It is important to remember the Holocaust and honor the memory of its victims, and to continue to work towards creating a world where such atrocities never happen again.

Jewish Refugees, Philippines

In 1939, Philippine President Manuel Quezon had proposed accepting 10,000 Jewish refugees from Germany and Austria, but the plan did not come to fruition due to various reasons, including the outbreak of the war.

However, some individual Jews did make it to the Philippines during the war, often after fleeing other countries in Asia or after being rescued by American forces. The most famous case of Jewish refugees in the Philippines during the war was that of the Frieder brothers, who established a cigar-making business in Manila and brought in over a thousand Jews to work for them.

The most significant group of Jewish refugees in the Philippines during the war were those who arrived in Manila in 1937-1938 from Germany and Austria, known as the "Manila Jews". This group consisted of around 1,200 individuals, most of whom were able to escape to the United States or other destinations before the Japanese occupation of the Philippines in 1941.

Jewish Refugees, Philippines

Other Jewish refugees who arrived in the Philippines during the war often did so after fleeing other countries in Asia, such as Shanghai or Hong Kong, or after being rescued by American forces. The number of Jews who arrived in the Philippines in this way is difficult to determine, but it is believed to be only a few hundred.

Overall, while the Philippines was not a major destination for Jewish refugees during the Holocaust, the country did play a role in providing a safe haven for some Jews and other refugees fleeing persecution during the war.

The ‘Open Doors’ monument in the Israeli city of Rishon Lezion celebrates Filipino friendship with the Jewish People.

The monument is a testament to the “open door” policy of the Philippine Commonwealth under then President Manuel L. Quezon, who welcomed thousands of Jewish people fleeing the Holocaust in Europe in 1939. Quezon issued 10,000 visas to Jewish immigrants escaping the Nazi genocide.

MINDORO, PHILIPPINES

Mindoro is an island located in the MIMAROPA region of the Philippines. The island has a rich history that spans several eras. Here is a brief overview of the history of Mindoro:

Pre-colonial era: Mindoro was inhabited by the Mangyan people, an indigenous group that still exists on the island today. The Mangyans practiced a subsistence lifestyle, relying on farming, hunting, and gathering.

Spanish colonization: The Spanish arrived in the Philippines in 1570 and began colonizing the archipelago. Mindoro was part of the larger province of Mindanao, which was eventually divided into several smaller provinces, including Mindoro. During the Spanish period, Mindoro was ruled by a series of encomenderos, or colonial administrators.

American colonization: The Philippines was ceded to the United States in 1898 after the Spanish-American War. American rule brought significant changes to Mindoro, including the establishment of a civil government and the introduction of new crops like coconut and abaca.

Japanese occupation: During World War II, the Philippines was occupied by the Japanese from 1942 to 1945. Mindoro was no exception, and many atrocities were committed by the Japanese forces during their occupation.

Post-war era: After the war, Mindoro became part of the newly independent Republic of the Philippines. The island continued to develop, with improvements in infrastructure and the establishment of new industries.

Today, Mindoro is a thriving island that is home to many industries, including agriculture, fishing, and tourism. Its natural beauty and cultural attractions make it a popular destination for both domestic and international tourists.

 

Netanya Israel, and the Filipino Caregiver’s.

Netanya is a coastal city located in central Israel. It was founded in 1929 by a group of Jewish immigrants from Poland, who named the city after their hometown, Nathanya.

In the early years, the city's economy was based on agriculture, with many of the residents working in orange groves and other crops. However, over time, the city began to develop its tourism industry, thanks to its beautiful beaches and pleasant climate.

During World War II, Netanya played a significant role in the Jewish resistance against the British mandate. The city was a key center of activity for the Jewish underground movement, and many of its residents were involved in smuggling weapons and other supplies to support the Jewish resistance.

In 1973, Netanya was the site of a tragic terrorist attack that left 26 people dead and more than 80 others injured. The attack was carried out by the Palestinian militant group Black September, and it targeted a hotel where many Israeli athletes were staying during the Munich Olympics.

Despite this tragedy, Netanya has continued to thrive in the years since, becoming a popular destination for tourists from around the world. Today, the city is known for its vibrant arts scene, excellent dining options, and gorgeous beaches, which continue to draw visitors year-round.

FILIPINO CAREGIVER'S

There is a significant Filipino community in Netanya, as well as other cities throughout Israel. Many Filipinos come to Israel to work in the caregiving industry, providing care for the elderly and people with disabilities. The Israeli government has a program that allows Filipinos to work in the country for several years, after which they can choose to either return to the Philippines or apply for Humanitarian visa.

In Netanya, there are several Filipino-owned businesses, including restaurants and stores that cater to the Filipino community. These businesses often sell Filipino food and products, and they provide a space for Filipinos in the area to connect with one another.

The Filipino community in Netanya also has its own organizations and community groups, such as the Filipino Community in Israel (FCI), which provides support and resources for Filipinos living in Israel. These groups organize cultural events and activities, as well as provide assistance with things like housing, employment, and legal issues.

Overall, the Filipino community in Netanya is an important and vibrant part of the city's cultural landscape, adding to its diversity and bringing a unique flavor to the area.

 

Spring is a beautiful season in Japan

Spring is a beautiful season in Japan, and it typically runs from March to May. This is a time when the cherry blossoms, or sakura, bloom all over the country, creating a stunning pink and white landscape. Many people in Japan celebrate this time of year by picnicking under the cherry blossom trees, a practice known as hanami.

Apart from the cherry blossoms, there are also other flowers that bloom during spring in Japan, such as plum blossoms, tulips, and wisteria. These flowers can be found in various parks and gardens throughout the country, including Tokyo's Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden and Kyoto's Maruyama Park.

The weather during spring in Japan is typically mild and comfortable, with temperatures ranging from 10°C to 20°C (50°F to 68°F). However, it can also be rainy at times, so it's always a good idea to bring an umbrella when going out.

Overall, spring is a wonderful time to visit Japan and experience the country's natural beauty and cultural traditions.

 

The Book of Enoch.

 

The Good book, as we hold it today, is regarded by numerous strict foundations and particularly Moderate Christians to be the roused, inerrant Expression of God. This doctrinal position asserts that the Holy book is not normal for any remaining books or assortments of works in that it is liberated from mistake due to having been “given by motivation of God, and is productive for principle, for upbraiding, for remedy, for guidance in uprightness: that the righteous man might be great, completely outfitted unto all great works” (2 Tim. 3:16, 17).While no other text can guarantee this equivalent extraordinary power, the Book of Enoch is an old Jewish strict work, credited by custom to Enoch, the incredible granddad of Noah, which assumed a vital part in shaping the perspective of the writers of the New Confirmation, who knew all about it as well as cited it in the New Confirmation, Epistle of Jude, Jude 1:14–15, and is ascribed there to "Enoch the Seventh from Adam" (1 En 60:8). The text was additionally used by the local area that initially gathered and concentrated on the Dead Ocean Scrolls.While some places of worship today incorporate Enoch as a feature of the scriptural standard (for instance the Ethiopian Customary Tewahedo Church and Eritrean Universal Tewahedo Church), other Christian divisions and researchers acknowledge it just as having verifiable or religious non-sanctioned interest and much of the time use or relegated it as supplemental materials inside scholastic settings to help understudies and researchers find or better grasp social and authentic setting of the early Christian Church. The Book of Enoch gives commentators’ significant understanding into what numerous old Jews and early Christians accepted when, “God, who at various times and in jumpers habits spake in time past unto the dads by the prophets” (Heb. 1:1).As Dr. Michael S. Heiser in the Prologue to his significant book Turning around Hermon so capably notes: For those to whom 1 Enoch sounds new, this is the old prophetically calamitous abstract work known famously (yet loosely) as “the Book of Enoch.” Most researchers accept that 1 Enoch was initially written in Aramaic maybe as soon as the third century B.C. The most established pieces of the book were found among the Dead Ocean Parchments and dated to generally the second century B.C. This places the book soundly in the center of what researchers call the Second Sanctuary Time frame (ca. 500 B.C.—70 A.D.), a time all the more usually alluded to as the “Intertestamental Period.” This book will utilize the more scholarly assignment (“Second Sanctuary Period”) […] The Watcher story of 1 Enoch, as numerous perusers will review, is a development of the episode portrayed in Beginning 6:1-4, where “the children of God (Hebrew: beney ha-?elohim) came in to the girls of man” (Gen 6:4; ESV). Thusly, “Watchers” is the Enochian expression of decision (among others) for the heavenly “sons of God.” While the tale of this extraordinary resistance consumes sparse space in Beginning, it got extensive consideration during the Second Sanctuary Time frame […] The Enochian adaptation of the occasions of Gen 6:1-4 jam and sends the first Mesopotamian setting for the initial four stanzas of the flood account. Each component of Gen 6:1-4 has a Mesopotamian counterpoint—a philosophical objective that gives the reasoning to why these four stanzas ended up in the propelled text in any case. Associations with that origin story can be tracked down in the Hebrew Scripture, however they are dispersed and unsystematically introduced. This isn't true with Second Sanctuary Jewish writing like 1 Enoch. Books like 1 Enoch safeguard all of the Mesopotamian touchpoints with Gen 6:1-4 while introducing their extended retelling of the occasions of that scriptural section. The Enochian retelling of the story thusly finds its direction into the New Confirmation, most straightforwardly in the books of Peter and Jude but… other New Confirmation authors do likewise. Put another way, subtleties in specific New Confirmation entries with connections to the Gen 6:1-4 episode must be followed to 1 Enoch, and those components thus are very predictable with the first Mesopotamian setting of Gen 6:1-4. The Book of Enoch is hence expected to be a significant supplemental asset for helping serious specialists and understudies in the investigation of the Book of scriptures and the early Church age.
