Our Lady of Fatima is a Roman Catholic title for the Virgin Mary due to her apparitions to three shepherd children, Lucia Santos, and her two cousins, Jacinta and Francisco Marto.
The apparition is believed to have appeared at the town of Fátima, Portugal on the thirteenth day of six consecutive months in 1917, starting on May 13.
Her name in Portuguese is Nossa Senhora de Fátima.
She is also called Our Lady of the Rosary or Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima.
On May 13, 1917, Lucia and her two cousins, Jacinta and Francisco Marto, were herding sheep at a location known as Cova da Iria, near their hometown village, Fatima.
Lúcia described seeing a woman "brighter than the sun, shedding rays of light clearer and stronger than a crystal ball filled with the most sparkling water and pierced by the burning rays of the sun."
Amazed, Lucia and her cousins ran back to their village and told everyone what they saw.
A further appearance of the Virgin Mary were  reported to be on the thirteenth day of the month in June and July.
In these, the Virgin Mary asked the children to do acts of penance and Acts of Reparation as well as personal sacrifice to save sinners.
The children subsequently wore tight cords around their waists to cause themselves pain, performed self-flagellation using stinging nettles, abstained from drinking water on hot days, and performed other works of penance.
According to Lúcia's account, in the course of her appearances, the woman confided to the children three secrets, now known as the Three Secrets of Fátima.
The miracle of the sun
As early as July 1917, it was claimed that the Virgin Mary promised a miracle for the last of her apparitions on October 13, so that all could believe.
What happened became known as "The Miracle of the Sun."
A huge flock of crowds filled with approximately 70,000 came to witness this miracle.
People who witnessed this miracle said that they saw the "Sun dance."
They also said that they could look at the sun without any problems.
As the crowd was looking at the sun, Lucio, Jacinta, and Fransisco said they saw lovely images of the Holy Family, Our Lady of Sorrows with Jesus Christ, and then Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
They said they saw Saint Joseph and Jesus bless the people.
The three secrets of Fatima
The first secret
"Our Lady showed us a great sea of fire which seemed to be under the earth.
Plunged in this fire were demons and souls in human form, like transparent burning embers, all blackened or burnished bronze, floating about in the conflagration, now raised into the air by the flames that issued from within themselves together with great clouds of smoke, now falling back on every side like sparks in a huge fire, without weight or equilibrium, and amid shrieks and groans of pain and despair, which horrified us and made us tremble with fear.
The demons could be distinguished by their terrifying and repulsive likeness to frightful and unknown animals, all black and transparent.
This vision lasted but an instant.
How can we ever be grateful enough to our kind heavenly Mother, who had already prepared us by promising, in the first Apparition, to take us to heaven.
Otherwise, I think we would have died of fear and terror."
The second secret
"I have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go.
To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart.
If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.
The war is going to end: but if people do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out during the Pontificate of Pius XI.
When you see a night illuminated by an unknown light, know that this is the great sign given you by God that he is about to punish the world for its crimes, by means of war, famine, and persecutions of the Church and of the Holy Father.
To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of reparation on the First Saturdays.
If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church.
The good will be martyred; the Holy Father will have much to suffer; various nations will be annihilated.
In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph.
The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and she shall be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world."
The third secret
The Third Secret was never revealed by the Holy See until June 26, 2000.
The third secret, a vision of the death of the Pope and other religious figures, was transcribed by the Bishop of Leiria and reads:
"After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendour that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: 'Penance, Penance, Penance!'.
And we saw in an immense light that is God: 'something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it' a Bishop dressed in White 'we had the impression that it was the Holy Father'.
Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions.
Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God."
Pontevedra apparitions
Eight years after the Fátima events, Sister Lúcia was living in a Dorothean convent in Pontevedra, Spain.
She reported that on December 10, 1925 she experienced another apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
On this occasion, in Sister Lucia's own words, the Virgin returned as She had promised at Fatima to relate the specific requirements for the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays.
Here is how Sister Lúcia describes the appearance: "The Most Holy Virgin appeared to me, and by her side, elevated on a luminous cloud, was the Child Jesus.
The Most Holy Virgin rested her hand on my shoulder and as she did so, she showed me a heart encircled by thorns, which she was holding in her other hand."
During this alleged apparition, the Child Jesus asked Sister Lúcia to have compassion on His Mother, referring to her as the heavenly mother of Sister Lúcia.
Later On February 15, 1926 Lucia reported to have seen the child Jesus when emptying a garbage can in the garden.
The child (Jesus) told Lucia to not do any more promoting for the first First Saturday's devotion.
At this point, the Virgin Mary is said to have set the parameters of the Five First Saturdays devotion.
If one fulfilled these conditions on the First Saturday of five consecutive months, the Virgin Mary promised special graces at the hour of death.
Juan Jose Lara Ortiz (born November 30, 1965 in Sevilla) is a wheelchair basketball athlete from Spain.
He has a physical disability: he is 1 point wheelchair basketball player.
1 point player
Types in wheelchair basketball plays an important undertakings in the sport as the order uses total points of players to come to a decision about who can be on the basketball court.
The system of ordering for the sport are 1 point player, 2 point player, 3 point player, 4 point player and 4.5 point player.
The higher the point number, the greater the player's able to use body power to play wheelchair basketball.
With five players on the basketball count, the total number of points may not be greater than fourteen.
There has been supported views put forward as to errors of the order system as being overly complex from players, coaches and leagues.
These criticisms have been printed materials in theory but not doing research made public in 1986, 1990, 1995 and 1997.
At times, players may not easily go into into a type for a full point.
For this reason, they can be put in order in between, such as 1.5 points, 2.5 points, and 3.5 points.
Classifiers are said words tending to stop from giving to this half point order as a competitors first order.
They are said to do on the second order.

Waltz music is written in 3/4 time (three beats per bar).
The music is both dance music and art music.
The Strauss family were perhaps the most famous of all waltz composers: notably Johann Strauss I, and Johann Strauss II  the composer of the famous The Blue Danube.
The origins of the dance are in late 18th century Germany, probably from a folk dance called the Lander.
Today the music is danced in two forms, the Viennese waltz and the English or Slow waltz (now often called the International waltz).
The choreography of these modern forms is different from the original dance.
There are also a number of ballets which feature waltz music.
A monocle is a glass lens worn in one eye to make a person's sight better.

Buster and his brother had to stop swimming.
A year after the move, Mr. Crabbe got a real estate job in Hilo, Hawaii.
The family moved to Hilo, and the boys started swimming again when their father joined a yacht club.
With all the moving about, it was not easy for the Crabbe boys to go to school.
Buster was eight and a half years old when he joined the first grade in Hilo Union School.
When World War I started in 1918, Buster's father joined the Army.
He graduated from Officer Candidate School, and moved his family to the Schofield Barracks in the center of Oahu.

Yale also had a famous swim team.
This appealed to Crabbe.
He visited Yale on his way to the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
He liked Yale, and decided to go there instead of West Point.
He was 20 when he went to Yale to study law.
Two weeks into his first year at Yale, Crabbe returned to Hawaii because his grandmother was dying.

Early years: 1930-1935
Crabbe's movie career started in 1930 while he was going to USC.
He was an extra in a few movies about college football and did stunts for Joel McCrea in a suspense movie.
Crabbe got his first big part in 1932.
It was a Tarzan-like character called Kaspa.
He signed a one-year contract with Paramount Pictures.
He was paid $100 a week.
The movie was called King of the Jungle; it opened in theaters in 1933.
Next, Crabbe had a small part in Man of the Forest, a western with closeted gay actor Randolph Scott.
It was Crabbe's first western.
He would make many more during his movie career.
Crabbe showed his bare chest in one scene, and was told to "put more wood on the fire".
He had one two-word line, "Yes, boss".
He was billed on movie posters as "the star of King of the Jungle".
After Forest, he had a few bit parts, and then went to Paramount's acting classes.
In 1933, Crabbe starred in Tarzan the Fearless.
It was the one and only time he played Tarzan.
Fearless was a movie serial in 12-parts.
A movie fan had to go to the theater every week for 12 weeks to see the whole movie.
The movie was a failure.
Crabbe made six more movies in 1933.
He saved $3,700 from the money he made.
He had enough money to go to law school if his contract was not renewed.
His contract was renewed, however.
His salary was raised to $150 per week.
The movie studio changed his name to Larry "Buster" Crabbe.
In 1934, he was in six movies.
Only two were for Paramount, the studio that hired him.
He was in Ida Lupino's first American movie, Search for Beauty, and in a W. C. Fields movie called, You're Telling Me!
Paramount loaned him to RKO Pictures and Majestic Pictures for one movie each, and to Mayfair Pictures for two movies.
These three studios billed him as Buster Crabbe.
In 1935, Paramount renewed his contract for the third time.
He was paid $300 a week.
He made only three movies for Paramount in 1935: two westerns and a college football movie.
He did not make any movies for other studios.
Flash Gordon and other movie serials: 1936-1952
In 1936, Crabbe learned that Universal Pictures was planning to produce Alex Raymond's science fiction comic strip, Flash Gordon, as a movie serial.
He went to try-outs, and was offered the part of Flash at once.
Crabbe accepted.
He was under contract to Paramount at the time, so Universal made arrangements to borrow him.
Flash Gordon is famous for being the most expensive and the most popular movie serial ever made in America.
Universal had turned two other comic strips into successful serials: Tailspin Tommy in 1934 and its sequel Tailspin Tommy in the Great Air Mystery in 1935.
The Flash Gordon comic strip was hugely popular.
Crabbe had to have his hair bleached and waved for the part.
He was not happy about this.
He wore a hat outside the studio to hide his hair.
Crabbe did his own stunts in the serial.
Flash Gordon was said to cost $350,000.
Most of this cost went into science fiction sets, special effects, and costumes that looked like those in the comic strip.
Crabbe was every boy's dream of a hero.
He was strong, handsome, and honest.
Jean Rogers played his girlfriend Dale Arden.
Charles B. Middleton played his enemy, Ming the Merciless, the ruler of the planet Mongo.
Flash Gordon opened in movie theaters in 1936.
Crabbe enjoyed the success, but wished he would get a part in a major motion picture.
Paramount renewed his 1937 and 1938 contracts with raises.
In 1938, he was paid $600 per week.
He also played in crime movies and westerns at this time.
A sequel to Flash Gordon was made in 1938 called Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars.
It was a low budget serial and used scenes from the prequel.
Crabbe was disappointed with the serial, but he was happy playing Flash again because the part had made him famous.
In 1938, he made another serial for Universal called Red Barry.
It was a modern detective story set in San Francisco.
The serial was based on a comic strip by Will Gould.
Crabbe left Paramount in 1939.
Crabbe told an interviewer that the studio did not want to give him a raise. "
I spent more time away from my lot than I put there ... I was under contract there (Paramount) from 1932 to 1939.
And it didn't cost them a penny.
Every time I was loaned out they were paid ... I was supposed to get a $250 raise per week.
And the studio called my agent and said we would like him to stay but we don't want to give him a raise."
Crabbe's agent knew Universal had the star in mind for more serials and convinced him to leave Paramount.
He had made 26 B-movies during his six years with Paramount, but never a major movie.
In 1939, he made another serial for Universal called Buck Rogers.
Like Flash, it was based on a popular science fiction comic strip.
Crabbe was paid $1,000 per week.
Universal made Crabbe's third and final Flash Gordon serial, Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe in 1940.
Crabbe was paid a flat $25,000.
He became known as "The King of the Serials".
He had made five serials for Universal and owed Universal (not Paramount) the stardom he had won.
Crabbe was disappointed with Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe.
He said, "I never forgave Universal for making a cheateryou know, using stock stuffof the last one ... The first serial (Flash Gordon), however, was the most expensive serial ever made, about $500,000 ... To risk this kind of money for a serial ... well, I thought they were crazy.
Crazy."
Crabbe made a total of nine movie serials during his career.
