Qui A Tué Alexandre Le Grand?

Ce film démêle un obscur mystère des temps antiques : la mort douteuse d'un des plus grands leaders politiques de l'histoire : Alexandre le Grand.

Aidés des plus grands spécialistes du monde, nous cherchons à découvrir la vérité sur sa mort précoce à 32 ans.

Le décès d'Alexandre est-il dû à l'abus d'alcool ou à la maladie ?

Fut-il assassiné ou existe-t-il encore une autre explication jamais considérée auparavant ?

Le mystère commence avec ces deux versions différentes des derniers jours d'Alexandre.

Ils concourent tous deux à dire que le jeune homme mit douze jours à mourir et qu'il était alors à peine capable de se traîner jusqu'à son lit de mort.

Une des deux versions raconte qu'Alexandre mourut de fièvre après avoir trop bu.

L'autre est plus sinistre : Alexandre aurait subi une longue agonie avant de mourir d'empoisonnement, victime d'une conspiration.

Assassinat ou maladie ?

C'est ce que tentent de comprendre l'enquêteur John Grieve et son équipe de spécialistes.

Tel un détective, Grieve analyse les preuves historiques, psychologiques et scientifiques pour reconstituer ses sinistres jours sinistres à Babylone en 323 av J.C. Nous revivons les scènes de la jeunesse d'Alexandre, alors éduqué par le célèbre philosophe Aristote.

Nous le voyons aussi au faîte de sa gloire, conquérant les Perses, couronné Pharaon en Egypte et acclamé comme fils de Zeus. Même alité, il continue à organiser sa prochaine invasion de l'Arabie.

Il se trouve alors au sommet de son pouvoir politique, mais n'est pas invincible.

Lica de Guzman, 10 ans, chante "Prendre un enfant par la main"

Prendre un enfant par la main
Pour l'emmener vers demain,
Pour lui donner la confiance en son pas,
Prendre un enfant pour un roi.
Prendre un enfant dans ses bras
Et pour la première fois,
Sécher ses larmes en étouffant de joie,
Prendre un enfant dans ses bras.

Prendre un enfant par le cœur
Pour soulager ses malheurs,
Tout doucement, sans parler, sans pudeur,
Prendre un enfant sur son cœur.
Prendre un enfant dans ses bras
Mais pour la première fois,
Verser des larmes en étouffant sa joie,
Prendre un enfant contre soi.

Prendre un enfant par la main
Et lui chanter des refrains
Pour qu'il s'endorme à la tombée du jour,
Prendre un enfant par l'amour.
Prendre un enfant comme il vient
Et consoler ses chagrins,
Vivre sa vie des années, puis soudain,
Prendre un enfant par la main

En regardant tout au bout du chemin,
Prendre un enfant pour le sien.

Controlling Our Food

"The French documentary, called “The world according to Monsanto” and directed by independent filmmaker Marie-Monique Robin, paints a grim picture of a company with a long track record of environmental crimes and health scandals."

This is a long documentary, but well worth the time spent watching it. In general, genetically modified crops are harmful to the environment as it is, but imposing them along with their accompanying poison "Roundup" on the whole world can have catastrophic and even cataclysmic consequences. These people (giant corporations have the same status as individual people without the same responsibilities as people have, thus cannot be prosecuted nor punished when they break the law or commit mass slaughters and destructions) must at all costs be stopped.

This is my second Bryce 5 3D animation. It took a lot of work and two sleepless nights... Creating the animation to get the results I had visualized took a few hours, rendering the one-minute animation to video took my computer sixteen hours... Editing it, finding the right music, fitting the video to the music and making it (more or less) synchronized with the music, then rendering it into a format that doesn't distort it took a whole day and half the night. More than 48 hours of almost non-stop work! I really need a new computer, a supercomputer (64 bits processor is my dream) with a gigantic amount of storage space, so that I don't have to wait for sixteen hours just to render a minute's worth of simple animation - each frame took a bit less than a minute to render, but some of my pictures which I would love to animate take much longer to render, and there are 30 frames per second, so if I were to make some of the animations I have in mind, it would take my computer over a week to render them to video, if not longer... Unfortunately, even a new and ordinary computer that is more powerful than my old machine is beyond my very modest income, especially as we now are two living on it.

Ah well, I will have to continue being patient and terribly frustrated (while my computer slaves away to render my animations to video, I can't use it for anything else, so I cannot continue creating all those pictures and animations which I have in mind, nor can I connect to the web), and the limitations of my old computer allow me to make only very short and very simple animations. It is always very painful for an artist not to have access to the materials he or she needs to fully express himself or herself, to fully allow his or her talent to blossom and skills to grow. But enough of my sob-story, I hope you enjoy my little beginner's creation! :)

My first 3D animation!

Until I watched Freetutorials' video on Bryce animation on March 28 and 29 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WYg1swDORI - I had been completely intimidated by the animation functions in Bryce - and reading user's manuals makes my mind go completely blank... So, after watching that video carfully several times, I gave it a go, and here is the result. I looped it several times to make it fit the length of the music file.

Gāyatrī Veda Mata

Gāyatrī Veda Mata Mantra

Om bhūr bhuvah svah
tat savitur varenyam
bhargo devasya dhīmahi
dhiyo yo nah pracodayāt



Originally the personification of the mantra, the goddess Gāyatrī is considered the veda mata, the mother of all Vedas and the consort of the God Brahma and also the personification of the all-pervading Parabrahman, the ultimate unchanging reality that lies behind all phenomena. Gayatri Veda Mata is seen by many Hindus to be not just a Goddess, but a portrayal of Brahman himself, in the feminine form. Essentially, the Goddess is seen to combine all the phenomenal attributes of Brahman, including Past, Present and Future as well as the three realms of existence.[citation needed] Goddess Gāyatrī is also worshipped as the Hindu Trimurti combined as one. In Hinduism, there is only one creation who can withstand the brilliance of Aditya and that is Gāyatrī. Some also consider her to be the mother of all Gods and the culmination of Lakshmi, Parvati and Sarasvati.

Gāyatrī is typically portrayed as seated on a red lotus, signifying wealth. She appears in either of these forms:

* Having five heads with the ten eyes looking in the eight directions plus the earth and sky, and ten arms holding all the weapons of Vishnu, symbolizing all her reincarnations.
* Accompanied by a white swan, holding a book to portray knowledge in one hand and a cure in the other, as the goddess of Education.

What I find interesting is the similarity of names between Greek (and hence western) Gaïa, goddes of the earth, and Gāyatrī. Just a thought.
