<p>Garry and Anne Wilson are proud to work with Bishop Crean and St Colman's Cathedral Cobh,  to bring this spectacular artwork by Luke Jerram (Gaia) to Cobh. It is a detailed sculpture of earth measuring seven metres in diameter, that rotates once every four minutes.</p>
<p>This globally acclaimed touring artwork was created using images from NASA of the earth’s surface, and will be suspended in St Colemans Cathedral giving visitors an incredible opportunity to view our planet, as it might be seen from space.</p>
<p>The artwork is touring and has recently been presented in Hong Kong, Australia, Taiwan and at the Natural History Museum in London. However and where ever the artwork is presented, its interpretation is slightly different.</p>
<p>The installation aims to create a sense of the Overview Effect, which was first described by author Frank White in 1987. Common features of the experience for astronauts are a feeling of awe for the planet, a profound understanding of the interconnection of all life, and a renewed sense of responsibility for taking care of the environment. (1/4)</p>
<p>It will take place From 15 - 26 June</p>
<p>St. Colman’s Cathedral, Cobh&nbsp;</p>
<p>Mon - Fri: 11am – 9pm&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sat: 11am - 5.30pm; 7pm - 9pm</p>
<p>Sun: 2pm - 7pm</p>
<p>Admission is Free</p>
<p>Brought to Cobh by Belvelly Castle in partnership with St Colman's Cathedral, Cobh</p>
<h3>Bishop William Crean:</h3>
<p>On behalf of the Parish of Cobh and the Diocese of Cloyne I thank Garry Wilson for the opportunity and gift of Luke Jerram's work of art to renew our appreciation of the Earth as our "Common Home" Pope Francis' Laudato Si 2015.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The creativity of the artist offers all</p>
<p>who will visit a new understanding of the fragile nature of our common home and deepen our commitment to cherishing it and respecting its rhythms. The pot evokes the vision of Psalm 8</p>
<p>"Earth is crammed with heaven</p>
<p>And every common bush afire with God</p>
<p>But only he who sees takes off his shoes"</p>
<p>Elizabeth Barrett Browning</p>
<h3>&nbsp;Garry Wilson:</h3>
<p>“I’m delighted that, together with Cork Midsummer Festival, we have been able to secure Luke Jerram’s world famous Gaia art installation for Cobh. A huge thank you to everyone at St Colman’s Cathedral for agreeing to host the event. Not only will Gaia be hugely impressive but to see it floating in St Colman’s Cathedral will be awe inspiring. I hope the Cobh community will enjoy it and that it gives many others yet another reason to visit the town.”</p>

<p>What an achievement for Liam Shanahan, 1st cousin of Cobh Camogie, Cobh Ladies Football Club &amp; Cork Camogie U'14 player Chloe Cashman</p>
<p>Drafted to the New England Patriots NFL 🏈 this weekend.</p>
<p>Sport definitely runs in the family genes.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Liam Shanahan Louisiana State University Tigers football&nbsp;</p>
<p>Shanahan is a smaller center but his athleticism and acumen allow him to wall off defenders and make holes in the run game.</p>
<p>Pros..&nbsp;</p>
<p>Shanahan uses quick feet and leverage to be successful in his run blocking. Knowing he is not the biggest guy he drops his pad level and can slide his feet to engage with pass rushers. He can reach the second level on run plays where he shows his competitive streak and will look to finish defenders. His best traits are the nuance of his hip and body positioning. He understands where to wall off linemen to create gaps. Shanahan is an Ivy League graduate from Harvard University and his acumen shows on the field.</p>
<p>Cons..&nbsp;</p>
<p>Certainly a smaller center that needs to add mass if he wants to play in the NFL. SEC teams often placed a true nose in front of him which gave him fits, His base needs better stability as he can be driven into the quarterback’s lap by blitzing linebackers. Want to see more strike out of his hands and increased play strength. While it is rare, he occasionally allows edge defenders or delayed blitzers to penetrate the A gap, on games or dog blitzes respectively.</p>
<p>Summary:</p>
<p>Shanahan is a solid center that with added mass and strength could add depth to an NFL offensive line, He has command over the line with signal calls and blitz pickup responsibility coming at ease. He is not a superior athlete but he works to the second level well and is able to displace would-be tacklers. NFL development should help Shanahan grow into his body and become a solid prospect.</p>
