Cathal McNally on his way to scoring his second goal during Johnstownbridge's victory over Round Towers in St.Conleths Park on Saturday Evening. Photo Credit: Pat Tinsley
Round Towers 1-11
Senior Football Championship Group 4 Round 2
A Kelvin McNally free in the third minute of stoppage time gave Johnstownbridge a one point victory over Round Towers in St.Conleths Park on Saturday Evening.
McNally finished with two important frees but it was really the impact of brother Cathal that got them into a winning situation in the first place as he found the net on two occasions.
McNally’s efforts came in either half with his first a brilliant individual goal being especially crucial as Towers were playing well at the time and it helped stem the flow that had developed.
Towers with the aid of Neil Scanlon finishing with 1-6 were always in touch and if they were more ruthless in front of goal the result may have been different.
Its the second successive Saturday that Johnstownbridge have hobbled over the line against teams they were much more comfortable against in 2018 so a big improvement will be needed in their final Group game against Athy.
Both teams were rocked with injuries but especially Johnstownbridge as they had to line out without talisman Paul Cribbin after he picked up a knock in training.
Sam Doran was his replacement and he got the game’s opening score in the 2nd minute.
Towers responded with efforts from Evan Flynn and Neil Scanlon but Brian Flanagan’s Johnstown side maintained the early advantage with Doran’s second point followed by a typically flamboyant Daniel Flynn shot from distance.
Towers remained incredibly competitive though and they looked the better side for much of the half with three points from Neil Scanlon giving them a 0-5 to 0-3 lead entering the final few minutes of the half.
Johnstownbridge are always capable of something special though and in the 25th minute they provided just that when Seamus McNally found his namesake and goal threat Cathal and despite looking like nothing was on the forward beat three men before firing a left footed shot past Brian Robinson in the Towers goal.
It was then all about the Flynn’s as Luke Flynn followed up with a well taken 45 from near the sideline before Jamie and Daniel exchanged scores to leave Johnstownbridge with a 1-5 to 0-6 lead at the break.
Johnstown continued to make the running on the resumption with points from Doran and McNally pushing them four clear.
Towers responded via Flynn and David O’Neill but they were down in the dumps again when McNally took advantage of a poor clearance by Robinson to race clear and place a shot home to bring his tally to 2-1 for the day.
Another point or two would have probably sealed the result there and then for Johnstownbridge but instead they went scoreless for ten minutes and Towers came roaring back.
Flynn kicked his second 45 for the side in Black and Amber and they then struck for a goal of their own when a move involving Leon Tsang and John Dwyer resulted in the wing forward being fouled for a penalty which Neil Scanlon confidently put away.
Kelvin McNally steadied the Johnstown ship with a free to put them two up with just a couple of minutes left but again Towers came forward.
Two Scanlon frees levelled up matters and if it wasn’t for himself, Jamie Flynn and Stuart Murphy squandering further opportunities they could have snatched the win.
Those misses came back to haunt them as three minutes into stoppage time Keith Cribbin broke forward on the attack and after he was fouled Kelvin McNally confidently stepped forward to kick the winning free and get Johnstownbridge out of jail.
Johnstownbridge; Padraig Hurley; Des Holton, James O’Connor, Ian McKeon, Joey Higgins, Keith Cribbin, Aidan Higgins, Seamus McNally, Luke Flynn 0-1 (45), Jimmy Farrell. Sam Doran 0-3, Cathal McNally 2-1, Kelvin McNally 0-2 (0-2fs), Daniel Flynn 0-2, Eoin O’Donoghue.

Seeds are set; time to fill out your bracket on C3
On a Selection Sunday when Northwestern made history, Villanova lined itself up for a shot at defending its national championship, North Carolina beat Duke in a game of bracketology and the Big 12 slipped its bubble team into the field.
Las Vegas quickly weighed in and made the ACC Tourna- ment champion Blue Devils the favorite at 5-to-1. The Tar Heels are 6-1, followed by Nova, Kentucky and Kansas, each at 8-1. At least they have odds.
Traditional power Syracuse, a Final Four team a year ago, and Illinois State, a team that won 27 games and went 17-1 in its conference, were left at the altar.
Meanwhile, it’s going to be a lonely NCAA Tournament for the Lone Star State. Only three teams from Texas were invited to the 68-team party:

1. Chop the onion and mince the garlic. Water sauté the onions and garlic for 5-7 minutes in a large frying pan over medium heat. (Start with 2 T of water and add more water as needed.)
2. Add the tomatoes and oregano to the pan and reduce heat to medium-low.
3. If using canned beans, use 1 can and rinse and drain them well. (I cook dry beans in large batches and keep them in my freezer in 1.5 cup servings for convenience.) Add the beans to the pan.
4. Add frozen chopped leaf spinach. Drizzle with vinegar and stir in the MatoZest. Cook just long enough for the spinach to be done and serve.
This is a quick dinner to throw together on nights when you don't have a lot of time to cook. It's good as-is or can be served over brown rice if desired.

SUNRIVER, Ore. (AP) — The firefighter, using an ice-rescue sled in its inaugural mission, approached the victim as it kept slipping and falling on a frozen pond in Oregon.
Using the new red sled, firefighter Jeff “JJ” Johnston, gently nudged it to the edge of the pond. The young deer then got its legs underneath it on solid ground and scampered off as Johnston’s colleagues applauded, with one filming the event.
The video has become a sensation, garnering millions of views and picked up by broadcasters in the United States and overseas.
Tammie Waters, office manager of the Sunriver Fire Department, said it was a great way to get training, and save a deer in the bargain.

The Keene State College Senate passed a new grading policy on April 8 that allows students to choose whether they want a letter grade or a pass/no pass grade.
The new policy is in response to students facing unexpected and challenging obstacles as they finish the spring semester away from campus amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. After support was garnered for a petition to change Keene State’s grading policy to a pass/no pass system, the college began discussions regarding a new policy.
According to Interim Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Ockle Johnson, the new grading policy allows students to choose for each of their classes whether they want a letter grade or a pass/no pass assessment. Students have until May 8 at 11:59 p.m. to choose what type of grade they wish to receive, Johnson said.
“Students, in general, were very supportive of this policy according to our survey prior to passage,” Johnson said. “So far we have about 440 course requests for the pass/no pass option.”
In the survey Johnson mentioned, two-thirds of students supported a pass/no pass option while only one-sixth of students surveyed supported maintaining the standard grading system. Keene State junior Tyler daRosa said he was “super happy” the college made the decision to pass the new grading policy.
“I think it was very important for the school to do this, as we didn’t sign up for online learning and I don’t think our grades should suffer because of that,” daRosa said.
Keene State College President Melinda Treadwell said the decision to provide students with a choice was made because each student has been affected differently during the transfer to online classes.
“If there’s an issue finding an internet connection, we didn’t want those students to feel isolated, but for students who feel comfortable we didn’t want them to lose their GPA,” Treadwell said. “This time has been disruptive for everyone and we didn’t want students to feel the stress of GPA.”
daRosa said that although he has been vocal about the pass/no pass system, he thinks it is best the school decided to make it optional for all students.
“There are plenty of people that need a letter grade because they need to get their GPA up and I don’t think it would be fair to those people to not give them the option to have a letter grade,” DaRosa said.
Before students make the decision whether they want a letter grade or a pass/no pass assessment, Johnson said there are a few things they should consider. He said that students should consider whether their performance has been negatively affected this semester and if they anticipate receiving a low grade they should choose a pass/no pass option. However, Johnson added that there are also reasons to maintain a letter grade.
“There is certainly value in having a letter grade in a required major course for future employment and graduate school application purposes,” Johnson said.

Former Harvard Law Professor and attorney to President Trump during the first impeachment trial, Alan Dershowitz condemned the FBI’s recent raid on the Manhattan home of Trump attorney and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani as an example of America acting like a “banana republic.” The New York Post reports that the intention of the raid was to investigate “whether Giuliani illegally lobbied for Trump on behalf of officials and oligarchs in Ukraine.”
During his impassioned interview on “The Cats Roundtable,” a New York radio show on 970 AM hosted by John Catsimatidis, Dershowitz commented that he will be representing Giuliani in this case. Comparing the actions of the FBI to that of Cuba under the Castro Regime in their coordinated effort to go after President Trump’s allies after the election is a talking point.
“In Castro’s Cuba, in many parts of the world, when a candidate loses for president, they go after the candidate, they go after his lawyers, they go after his friends. That didn’t happen in America, and that’s happening in America now.”
Dershowitz outlined that the FBI’s use of a search warrant rather than a subpoena to gather privileged information from Giuliani and his associate, and fellow lawyer, Victoria Toensing, was done in “inappropriate ways.”
“They’re going after them in inappropriate ways. A search warrant on a lawyer, or a doctor or a priest? You don’t use search warrants when people have privileged information on their cellphones and in their computers; you use a subpoena.”
Alan Dershowitz slams FBI raid on Rudy Giuliani as 'unconstitutional'
— Bernard B. Kerik (@BernardKerik) May 3, 2021
Dershowitz emphasized that with a search warrant, “they are taking everything from his cloud, from his computers including privileged information. It’s just not constitutional. And that’s why, when Rudy called me yesterday, I said sure, I’ll help out. I’m in favour of the Constitution.”
Dershowitz noted his optimism for Giuliani’s potential court challenges in response to the use of the search warrant: “I think the government made a serious mistake here when they went by search warrant. They gave Rudy Giuliani lots of legal arguments to make, arguments that I think he could prevail on.”
Dershowitz stressed, however, that this situation should be taken as a warning for the future. “If Rudy’s privacy is not protected, if his client’s privacy is not protected… we’re all next”. In closing, he reiterated that all citizens, no matter their political alignment or beliefs, “should be protesting the overreach of the government when they use search warrants like this, broadly, in order to get information that may very well be privileged.”

6 recommendations for viewing flowers on Japan's remote islands
The Japanese archipelago is long and thin, with four distinct seasons. The majority of the land belongs to temperate zones, but the climate can vary greatly depending on the region, especially in terms of temperature and precipitation. Flowers are indispensable when it comes to coloring Japan's four seasons. Recently, many tourists come to Japan to enjoy flowers like lavender, hydrangea, and nemophila. This article will introduce some of the best remote island locations for viewing flowers.
Rebun Island (Hokkaido）
Rebun is located in the northern part of Hokkaido. It is the northernmost remote island in the Sea of Japan and can be reached by ferry in about two hours from the port of Wakkanai.
The isle is rich with nature, home to over 300 species of native alpine plants. May to September is the best time to see flowers, highlights include the dark pink petals of the endemic 'Rebun-kozakura,' coupled with the 'Rebunsou', a leguminous plant. A hiking course on the island lets you come across the flowers while walking through Rebun's beautiful dynamic scenery.
Sado Island (Niigata)
Sado, in Niigata Prefecture, is the largest remote island in the Sea of Japan. It is a popular sightseeing spot, with tourists coming to see its 400-year-old gold mine called Sado Kinzan, in addition to the Toki, an endangered species of bird. Around May or June bright yellow flowers called Tobishima Kanzo bloom.
This flower blooms in only a limited area of Japan, the highest concentration of which is in an area called Onogame in Sado, where you can see up to 1,000,000 of them. A promenade around Onogame provides the best viewing, with the contrast between the yellow flowers and blue sea particularly wonderful.
Ferries and jetfoils to Sado depart from Niigata Port in Niigata city. Crossings take around 1 hour to 2 and a half hours.
Izu Oshima (Tokyo)
Located in the northern part of the Izu Islands, Izu Oshima is a popular travel destination due to its easy access from the mainland. To get there take the high-speed jet ship from Takeshiba Passenger Ship Terminal in Tokyo, the journey lasts about 1 hour 45 minutes.
The island is known for its tsubaki (camelia) flowers, with up to 3 million usually in bloom from February to mid-March. In April the number of flowers starts to fall, but the sights of tsubaki and Oshima Sakura can still be enjoyed. Tsubaki oil and other tsubaki related products are an island specialty. Events related to the tsubaki are held across Izu Oshima during the blooming season. Guided tours of the island from Tokyo are available, making it an ideal location for those seeking a quick and easy jaunt to one of Japan's remote islands.
It takes about 10 minutes by ferry from the port in Meinohama, in the city of Fukuoka, to reach Nokonoshima. One of the main sightseeing spots on the island is Nokonoshima Island Park, a large park where you'll find an adventure playground, a mini zoo, and some restaurants. Flowers bloom in this park all year round, but the most famous are called cosmos. About 500,000 cosmos flowers bloom every year in the park's Panorama Flowerbed, which resembles a huge pink carpet. The best time to see them is from early to mid October, with late blooming flowers still seen until early November. In addition, you can see various flowers throughout the year such as the Japanese daffodil from late December to mid-February, canola flowers from early March to mid-April, as well as marigolds, and sunflowers.
In the Seto Inland Sea you'll find Teshima, a small island that belongs to Kagawa Prefecture, with a population of around 30 people. A high-speed boat connects the island to a port close to Marugame Station in Kagawa Prefecture, the crossing takes about 45 minutes. While this island does not have any spectacular attractions, you can enjoy strolling through its quiet townscape.
One of the island's unique features is the sunflower fields that can be seen along the roads of the village near the Nishiura coast. The sunflower fields are carefully nurtured by the local residents. The best times to see the sunflowers is from early to mid-July. The season may be short, but the large yellow flowers are not to be missed.
Yaeyama Islands (Okinawa)
The Yaeyama Islands are the southernmost in Japan, about 400 km away from the main island of Okinawa. Unique cultures rich in nature have developed on islands such as Ishigakijima, Taketomijima, Haterumajima and Iriomotejima, and the year round mild climate has secured Yaeyama's place as a popular tourist destination.
A wide variety of flowers can be found throughout the archipelago such as the deigo, the official flower of Okinawa Prefecture, plumeria that are native to the West Indies and Latin America, and higanzakura, a dark pink type of cherry blossom. Hibiscus and bougainvillea can also be seen regardless of the season. Outdoor activities, watersports, and hiking can all be enjoyed out here, so it is recommended to hire a car and spent a couple of nights making your way around the islands.

The Northrop-Grumman Corporation has announced that the Viper Strike precision
munition released from the Hunter UAV scored 7 direct hits in 9 attempts during
a series of tests carried out jointly with the US Army.
The targets employed during the tests ranged from trucks to rocket and missile
launchers to a tank in heavy countermeasures environment.
These tests were conducted at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, in March 29
The objective of the tests was to validate the concept of the Viper Strike and
the operational feasibility of Viper Strike integrated on the Hunter Unmanned
The Viper Strike is a derivative of the BAT submunition featuring a semi-active
laser seeker to find its designated target.
The Viper Strike has been designed to engage targets inside built up areas. It
requires someone to aim at the target with a laser in order to be engaged by the
Viper Strike. That duty can be done by someone close to the target or even by
the Hunter UAV.
During the tests 7 of 9 Viper Strike submunitions reached their designated
targets while 2 of them missed theirs by a few feet but still inflicted

This year, 2,250 bloggers will be discussing FOOD! And what makes this year’s topic even more appropriate is that today is also World Food Day!
Food: A Critical Topic to Every Person on Earth
Food is important to all of us, and so many food-related issues exist that it would be impossible to address them all in a single post. So, for now, let’s discuss a few significant aspects of the topic.
Famine runs rampant in many parts of the world, and numerous organizations are doing their part to make a difference. Some offer direct aid, others educate and advocate. Here are just a few:
ONE: Visit the site to learn what this organization is doing to end hunger, and the ways you can help. Sign the Petition asking the U.S. Congress to fully fund the Feed the Future program. The petition’s message to Congress says this about the critical need: “The famine in Somalia has killed 30,000 children in 3 months. In 2011 we have the opportunity to make famine a thing of the past. Lives are in your hands. Please fully fund Feed the Future and help break the cycle of famine for good.”
Ending Hunger: This organization also asks visitors to sign a Petition putting pressure on politicians to end world hunger. The petition states the following: “We who support this petition find it unacceptable that close to one billion people are chronically hungry. Through the United Nations, we call upon governments to make the elimination of hunger their top priority until that goal is reached.” The original goal was 1,000,000 signatures, and to date, well over 3,000,000 people have signed.
Ending Hunger says this about its objectives: “The objectives? A critical mass of people who no longer accept the presence of one billion fellow human beings living in chronic hunger. To make a lot of noise about the problem. To build up political pressure for change.”
Food for the Poor: This Christian non-profit offers help in various forms to people in need, describing its efforts as follows: “Food For The Poor is the third-largest international relief and development charity in the United States, feeding 2 million poor every day. Our Christian relief programs and projects are helping children and the poorest of the poor by providing food, housing, health care, education, water projects, emergency relief and micro-enterprise assistance in the Caribbean and Latin America.”
Hunger in the U.S.
Many people in the U.S. go to bed hungry each night, and the following organization is working to change that:
Food Rescue: This Indiana-based non-profit addresses the issue of food waste and focuses on how food that is currently (or would currently be) wasted can be donated to area food banks to help feed hungry local residents. While Food Rescue only works directly in its own state, the organization does help people in other states put its principles into practice. It also hosts a Virtual Flash Mob that periodically joins together to simultaneously post pleas on the social media fan pages of various food-related businesses urging them to share their excess food with the hungry, rather than throwing it away.
About its efforts, the organization says the following: “Food Rescue schedules and inspires more than 2,000 "food rescues" each month, turning millions of dollars in rescued food into hundreds of thousands of meals for children and families in need through a network of volunteers working to turn discarded food into changed lives.”
Healthier, More Equitable, and Sustainable Food for All
Slow Food International: This organization describes itself as follows: “Slow Food is a global, grassroots organization whose supporters are linking the pleasure of good food with a commitment to their community and the environment. Today we have 100,000 members worldwide, as well as the Terra Madre network of 2,000 food communities who practice small-scale and sustainable production of quality foods.” Slow Food says it is “committed to good, clean and fair food for all.”
Slow Food USA: Slow Food USA’s mission states, in part, “We believe that food is a universal right. Food that is fair should be accessible to all, regardless of income, and produced by people who are treated with dignity and justly compensated for their labor.” The non-profit also says, “Slow Food USA is working to change the food system through a network of volunteer chapters all over the country.” Its visitors are invited to join their local chapter.
This organization has issued its $5 Challenge, which states, “I pledge to share a fresh, healthy meal that costs less than $5 – because slow food shouldn't have to cost more than fast food." Those who take the challenge can submit photos and descriptions of their meals on the Tips & Tricks & Challenges page.
Please Visit These Websites
The above organizations are but a few that are working to provide food for the hungry or to improve the diets of those who are tired of the modern processed foods that are slowly robbing us of our health and vitality. I hope you will take a few minutes to visit their websites, learn more about their efforts, sign their petitions, and find out what you can do to make a difference – for others as well as yourself.
Too many people battle hunger each and every day – and too many others have more than enough to eat yet are still malnourished. These are the ironies of our crazy modern world -- ironies that we will hopefully be able to work together to change in the very near future!
Here’s to that change!

Collin County authorities say a man was shot early Thursday after attacking a law enforcement dog with a knife.
Sheriff's deputies were assisting Celina police in finding 23-year-old Jesus Vargas — who had fled the scene of a domestic disturbance — around 5:15 a.m., sheriff's office spokesman Jim Moody told WFAA-TV (Channel 8).
A dog belonging to the sheriff's office tracked down Vargas, who attacked it with a knife.
Moody said Vargas didn't respond to authorities' commands and then lunged at a deputy before a deputy shot him.
Vargas was taken to the Medical Center of Plano for treatment; Moody said he was expected to recover. He faces a charge of aggravated assault against a public servant.
The dog also is expected to recover, Moody said.

I like free jazz but I'm not familiar with many artists in the genre and Ahmed Abdul-Malik is a refreshing discovery. This jam is wild and all over the place. What I like the most about it is the pianist is not afraid to be brutal with the piano. Most piano playing I have been exposed to potray it as a mild instrument and this release proves how powerful and aggressive piano can be. Now I am off to hunt down and explore Malik's other musical offerings. Nuclear Distortion


For the second time this week, the Highway Patrol has made an arrest following an alcohol-related crash in Camden County. 22-year old Jonathan Hughes of Montreal was arrested just after 11 Thursday night. He’s accused of DWI and failing to drive on the right side of the roadway resulting in accident. Earlier this week, Travis McDaniel, also of Montreal, was arrested for DWI and failing to maintain the right side resulting in a wreck. He was taken to Lake Regional. There were no injuries reported in the Hughes accident…he was taken to the Camden County Jail.

Calling on Government to Act on White Supremacy and Domestic Terrorism in Law Enforcement
Updated: Jan 15
In honour of what would have been Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s ninety-second birthday and in response to the deadly events at the U.S. Capitol on 6 January 2021, I am calling on our elected officials to take steps to curb the spread of white supremacy and domestic terrorism in our law enforcement and military organizations.
On 6 January, we saw active-duty members of police and the military join in an effort to overthrow a democratic election. The Justice Department has since alleged that some of these individuals had specific plans to kidnap or kill elected officials. These events wholly validated the FBI's 2006 warning about the rise in white supremacist terrorists in law enforcement organizations, which was largely ignored by the people in power.
The fact is that we have no idea to what extent domestic terrorists and terrorist sympathizers have infiltrated Canadian law enforcement and military organizations. We don't even know how big the problem is and no reason to feel confident that current leadership will address this issue. The Canadian system of government and justice places a large degree of trust in our law enforcement officials. We must act before it is too late.
I am calling on our elected officials to order all law enforcement and military organizations under their jurisdiction to produce a comprehensive plan to combat white supremacy and domestic terrorism within their ranks. I encourage anyone else who recognizes the gravity of this situation to do the same. Anyone is welcome to download my letter and utilize it as they see fit.
I have written to the following individuals:
Spencer Chandra-Hebert, MLA for Vancouver-West End (my riding)
Hedy Fry, MP for Vancouver Centre (my riding)
Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety (BC) and MLA for Port Coquitlam
David Eby, Attorney General (BC) and MLA for Vancouver-Point Grey
David Lametti, Minister for Justice and MP for LaSalle-Émard-Verdun
Bill Blair, Minister for Public Safety and MP for Scarborough Southwest

How to get rid of wild aster weeds in Texas.
The wild aster is a broad-leaf annual that typically grows all over the US. The plant goes by several different names including the lawn American aster or just the annual aster.
It typically does well in warm climates and even though it produces some beautiful white flowers, the plant also gets very weedy. So, it is not really worth it.
The good news is that removing wild aster is not that hard and you can use both mechanical and chemical means to do it.
Here are some helpful tips for wild aster weed control:
Pull by Hand
Speaking of mechanical ways to deal with the weed, it doesn’t get as basic as this. You simply need to put on a pair of gloves, head over to the lawn and start pulling the aster off.
However, you may want to do this when the soil is moist. It will make it easier for the aster to come off plus you won’t have to spend a lot of energy while doing it.
Try a Wild Aster Post Emergent Herbicide
Post-emergent herbicides for wild aster is normally used to kill wild aster without necessarily harming the rest of the grass on the lawn.
There are several such herbicides out there but normally, products that contain 2, 4-D, mecoprop, or dicamba should be able to do the trick.
These herbicides are also available in most local stores so it should be easy to get your hands on them.
Spray It for Wild Aster Weed Control
It’s one thing to know which herbicides to use and a totally different thing to know how to spray them right. Herbicides are chemicals and they must be handled correctly.
Remember if herbicides come into contact with your skin, they can cause irritation and skin problems. So, even as you start spraying, at least make sure you wear protective gear.
Apply Corn Gluten Meal
In case you are thinking of using something more organic to handle the control of wild aster, then you won’t have a better option than a corn gluten meal. It is perhaps one of the best pre-emergent herbicides you can go for.
The good thing about gluten is that it doesn’t prevent the aster from actually growing. It simply limits the spread of its roots. So, even if the plant ultimately sprouts out, it will eventually dry.
However, there is a recommended pattern to follow as you begin applying the gluten meal. Typically, you should start in late March to mid-April.
This should be enough to hold off the aster. You should apply a second application, preferably around August to mid-September.
You will also notice that there are instructions provided on the gluten meal.
Dealing with wild aster can be a bit challenging, especially if you are doing it for the first time.
But with the basic steps above, it should be easy to handle the problem all year round.
Nonetheless, the method you choose should be determined by the level of infestation and the size of the yard. Bigger yards with a relatively higher infestation may require stronger measures like herbicides.

Light to moderate rain over Bicol, Quezon province-A A +A
Wednesday, December 4, 2013
MANILA -- The tail-end of a cold front currently affecting Southern Luzon will likely bring light to moderate rain and thunderstorms over Quezon and the Bicol region, state weather agency said on Wednesday.
Other parts of the country may remain cloudy, said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) in its 5 a.m. bulletin.
"The regions of Ilocos, Cordillera, Cagayan Valley and Central Luzon will have cloudy skies with light rain," Pagasa said.
It added, "Metro Manila and the rest of the country will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms."
Pagasa also said that moderate to strong winds blowing from the northeast will prevail over Luzon and its coastal waters will be moderate to rough while elsewhere in the country winds will be light to moderate coming from the northeast to north with slight to moderate seas.
The state weather bureau also issued a gale warning over the seaboards of Luzon due to the surge of the Northeast Monsoon (Hanging Amihan).
It said, "Strong to gale force winds is expected to affect the seaboards of Northern Luzon and the eastern seaboards of Central and Southern Luzon."
Pagasa warned, "Fishing boats and other small seacrafs are advised not to venture out into the sea while larger sea vessels are alerted against big waves." (SFP/Sunnex)

The film has an unabashedly art film bent and emphasizes that film can go anywhere, for instance superimposing a shot of a cameraman setting up his camera atop a second, mountainous camera; or superimposing a cameraman inside a beer glass; or filming a woman getting out of bed and getting dressed; or even filming a different woman giving birth, the baby being taken away to be bathed.
Vertov's message about the prevalence and unobtrusiveness of filming was not yet true--cameras might have been able to go anywhere, but not without being noticed; they were too large to be hidden easily, and too noisy to remain hidden anyway. To get footage using a hidden camera, Vertov and his brother Mikhail Kaufman had to distract the subject with something else even louder than the camera filming them.
The film also features a few obvious stagings such as the scene of the woman getting out of bed and getting dressed (cameras at the time were fairly bulky and loud, and not surreptitious) and the shot of the chess pieces being swept to the center of the board (a shot which was spliced in backwards, causing the pieces to expand outward and stand into position). The film was criticized for both the stagings and its stark experimentation, possibly as a result of its director's frequent assailing of fiction film as a new "opiate of the masses."
The film, originally released in 1929, was silent, and accompanied in theaters with live music. It has since been released a number of times with different soundtracks: One release, in 1996, had a new soundtrack performed by the Alloy Orchestra, based on notes left by Vertov. It incorporated sound effects such as sirens, babies crying, crowd noise, etc.
In 2002, a version was released with a soundtrack performed by the British jazz and electronic outfit The Cinematic Orchestra. In the same year, a DVD edition by the British Film Institute had a score by Michael Nyman.

It appears that one of Michael Jordan’s fiercest basketball rivals will inspire an upcoming Air Jordan 1 colorway.
Sneaker leak social media account @J23app on Twitter shared images of the Air Jordan 1 High “Lucky Green” yesterday, a new iteration of Michael Jordan’s popular signature shoe that’s releasing before year’s end.
The latest Air Jordan 1 High “Lucky Green” appears to reference the Boston Celtics as the shoe wears the NBA franchise’s team colors. The shoe wears a white-based leather upper that’s paired with black overlay panels at the forefoot while Lucky Green accents appear on the heel and ankle collar. The green accents also appear on the “Nike Air” branding on the tongue and insole, along with matching green shoelaces. Rounding out the design is a white midsole and a green outsole.
Jordan Brand has paid homage to MJ and his iconic matchups against the Celtics with Air Jordan 1 releases in the past. In September 2020, the brand released the women’s-exclusive Air Jordan 1 High “Lucky Green” colorway inspired by MJ’s 63-point performance in the 1986 NBA Playoffs against the Celtics, which is a record that still stands to this day.

At the time of publication, a special release date for the Air Jordan 1 High “Lucky Green” has yet to be announced by Jordan Brand but the style will launch this spring.
In related Air Jordan news, the original Air Jordan 4 “Bred” from 1989 is reportedly returning in 2024 as part of Jordan Brand’s “Reimagined” series. The shoe is expected to feature vintage-inspired details to mimic how the ’89 release would look in modern day.

LISC Phoenix’s Dominic Braham is a 2019 PLACES fellow with the Funder’s Network for Smart Growth and Livable Communities (alongside LISC NYC's Grace Chung). When the fellowship brought him to Newark, NJ for a site visit, it sparked a realization: Braham saw that he had to think critically about pushing for racial equity from both an individual and an institutional perspective. In a blog for the Funder’s Network, he shares the toolbox he’s been assembling to challenge the status quo in community development leadership, and to convert conversations about change into action.
From the unprecedented $1.5 billion we invested last year in people and communities across the country, to our burgeoning collaborations with sectors ranging from tech and healthcare to sports and local government, the LISC 2018 Annual Report is chock full of good news, good numbers, and good ideas. These resources and strategies propel us on our journey to shape a brighter future for all our nation's residents. And that, in a nutshell, is the heart of LISC's mission. Read on!Read Our Report
2018 was a banner year for Rudy Espinoza, the executive director of Leadership for Urban Renewal Network (LURN) in Los Angeles, a nonprofit that specializes in supporting equitable local economies. Not only was he named a 2019 Rubinger Fellow, but last November, the Los Angeles City Council finally voted to legalize street vending, a campaign that Espinoza, LURN and a coalition of vendor-leaders and community developers had been waging for nearly a decade.
Only by reckoning with the past are we able to create a society that honors the dignity and wellbeing of all Americans. In recognition of Women’s History Month, we shine a spotlight on three LISC sites where our work is led by women and supports women in the communities we serve—and aims to build a future where everyone can thrive and prosper.
In recognition of Black History Month, LISC Phoenix program officer Dominic Braham reflects on the African-American history of his city, and how the influence of a historic “dividing line” between downtown and the redlined neighborhoods of South Phoenix still shapes its communities. Developing local leadership of color, connecting people with the region’s prosperity, and committing to racial equity as the city develops, he explains, are keys to authentic civic engagement and a more inclusive Phoenix.

Authored by Jon Mercer in Music
Published on 02-03-2009
On Sunday February 1st Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will be the headlining act at the Super Bowl half time show. Springsteen, who is now 58, and his Famous “E Street Band” have just released a new album called “Working On A Dream” and are ready to kick off a world tour in support of their latest effort. There is some controversy already surrounding the new album that was released on Tuesday January 27th.
According to internet message board buzz, the first song released from the new album sounds suspiciously like Kiss’ I Was Made For Loving You, which was released in 1979. Springsteen, who had no comment about the song entitled “Outlaw Pete”, said that the E Street Band has just gone through the golden age and is playing better than ever. “Were a bunch of old soldiers, but the band is still burning.”
Springsteen and his band recently performed at the inaugural concert for President Barrack Obama and he is not shy about expressing his views about the Bush administration, of which he was a very outspoken critic. The Boss, as he is often called, said that President Bush hijacked the values of the American people as well as their ideals. Springsteen was a big supporter of now President Barrack Obama during his presidential campaign.
The new album is a much more personal album than his recent works, focusing on romance and relationships instead of outrage over government policies and politics. The album feels like it is sparked from classic 60’s pop music, said one reviewer. The new album is a definite departure from his last album “Magic”, which was full of political overtones and outrage over the war in Iraq. On tour for the album, Springsteen told fans at concerts that America was now known for voter suppression and illegal wire tapping.
Springsteen has been in the spotlight a lot lately with his performance at the pre-inaugural concert for Obama and he also won a Golden Globe Award for his title song for the independent film “The Wrestler,” not to mention headlining the Super Bowl half-time show. “Working On A Dream” is Springsteen’s fourth album produced by Brendan O’Brien since 2002, and critics say that its sound is clearly influenced by 60’s pop music such as The Beach Boy’s, Roy Orbison, The Birds, and The Turtles.
Springsteen and the E Street Band will kick off a world tour in San Jose, California in April, before heading to Europe toward the end of may.

The holding company announced first-quarter earnings of $1.4 billion on Wednesday. Its first quarter earnings last year were less than half of that. Shares are currently up 108% from one year ago.
Phillips 66 is composed of three divisions including a refining division, a chemical division, and a midstream unit. Both refining and chemical divisions have seen an increase in earnings from the first-quarter of 2012.
The refining division has been the most profitable by far, earning $909 million in the first quarter of 2013. That’s an increase of $455 million in just twelve months. The chemical division is also thriving with earnings up to $282 million from $217 million in a year.
The major components driving these numbers are shale oil and shale gas. Low cost oil and gas have had a positive impact on gasoline refineries and petrochemical plants. Phillips 66 has seen increased earnings in these two divisions as a result.
The oil gap is closing
Development in the Bakken, Eagle Ford, and Marcellus formations has allowed Phillips 66 to ween itself off foreign crude by providing a cheap domestic alternative.
In 2011, Phillips 66 refined 48 percent of its oil from Brent, a crude oil produced in the North Sea. Today, Brent only accounts for 32 percent of the oil at the company’s refineries.
The remaining oil being refined today is composed mainly of West Texas Intermediate. This domestic alternative has in recent years become cheaper than Brent (up to $25 dollars less a barrel).
And the cost could get lower.
The growth of East Coast refineries has been limited, because oil production in the Mid-West has drastically outpaced the ability to transport it. However, the industry has begun to work out the logistics, allowing the East Coast to import at higher rates.
Currently, the East Coast receives 300 thousand barrels a day from the Bakken. That number is predicted to multiply to 800 thousand.
Phillips 66 currently imports between 80 and 90 thousand barrels from the Bakken to the East Coast daily, as opposed to none last year. The company recently signed a five year deal with Global Partners LP (NYSE: GLP) in January, adding 50 thousand barrels of Bakken oil every day. It is also building an offloading facility that would accommodate 100 rail cars per day, each holding 750 barrels,
In addition to changes in transport, Phillips 66 has also responded to the need of increased storage. The company recently added two large coke drums to the New Jersey Bayway refinery and announced its intent to add domestic shale oil.
Phillips 66 also directly benefits from the shale boom because of its chemical division. Shale formations contain liquefied natural gases (LNG) that are used in the production of petrochemically produced plastics.
The abundance of shale gas in the U.S. has driven down production costs and companies like Phillips 66 are reaping the benefits.
If you would like to learn more about the connection between the chemical and shale gas industries, I talk a little more about that here.


Last Sunday February 5th, we introduced liturgical media within our celebration of the Eucharist in the Sports Hall. This inaugural liturgy featured the extensive use of twin screens and two laser projectors on either side of the altar to enhance our worship and deepen our understanding of the Eucharistic Liturgy. Speaking to the students at Morning Prayer last week, Mr Cyril Murphy, Director of Liturgy, explained what is involved and called on the boys to involve themselves as well…
‘Today in our lives, we are used to all sorts of media: social, commercial, and advertising – so what is liturgical media?
Liturgical media is any digital or electronic content used for the purposes of worship and liturgy – this digital content can include graphics, video clips, moving images, animation and music tracks. We have been preparing the content for four months in conjunction with Mike Wilson’s company – Ditto TV – a London based studio that specialises in media communications. Mike put his creative team and head creative designer, Tone Davies, at our disposal, pro bono, and they have produced some wonderful content for us. Dr Richard Leonard SJ, an Australian based expert in this field, is also pitching in, along with Cathal Burke, a Dublin based media and communications graduate and technician.
We are doing this to bring you more fully into the richness of this liturgy and to make it much more accessible and interactive with your increased participation. You are a digital, visual generation and this is your preferred method of communication. We are cutting down on wordiness and text and endeavouring to stimulate your senses through a visual medium. Our Sunday Liturgy needs to be a better experience – a richer experience – for you. This will be 21st Century Liturgy and we are asking that you leave your ego at the door and get involved. In time we expect that you will create your own content around the Gospel readings of the day and bring it to your peers on Sunday for our liturgy, thereby being true disciples for Christ.
At a very basic level, I hope to see a big response within the Mass itself, both in terms of spoken and sung responses, all of which will now be clearly visible on the screen. The success of this will not be measured by how cool and slick this technology turns out to be – the success of this will be measured by the quality of your engagement:
- Are you joining in?
- Are you moved?
- Does it make you think?
- Has the gospel become more relevant to your life today?
- Are you stimulated to participate in the Eucharist?
- Will you reflect or ponder on something you saw or heard during the liturgy later that day, later that week?
The summit of our week
If we can’t do this in Clongowes, where can we do it? Our Sunday liturgy is the most explicit expression of our ethos and and our mission here in Clongowes. It is the summit of our week and underlines the centrality of the Ignatian ethos – that Jesus Christ is the model for all human life.
The new facility will also be a great resource for the college in other areas. The quality of the dual laser HD projectors is superb and will allow us to view games, matches and films as well as being suitable for awards and presentations ceremonies and conference use.
But, first and foremost, this is a communication tool designed to enrich our worship here in Clongowes, not to entertain us, but to form us – to unite us into one faith community that is engaged in the supreme prayer of our church, the liturgy of the Eucharist.
I appeal to you to give it a go and join in this Sunday and on every Sunday to come.’
Cyril Murphy, Director of Liturgy
