Eskuwelahang "Bato"

Maniwala kayo't sa hindi ang larawang ito ay mula sa Tsina, ang pangalawang pinakamayamang bansa ngayon. Ito ay isang eskuwelahan sa bulubunduking bahagi ng Lalawigan ng Guizhou. 

Lumalabas mas maganda pa pala dito sa Pilipinas dahil nag-aaral ang mga estudyanteng Pinoy sa ilalim ng punongkahoy 

Future car

Baka akalain ng iba na ito ay guni-guni lamang ngunit ito ay kasalukuyan ng ginagawa ng isang kompanya sa Amerika. Tatlo lang ang gulong nito, puwedeng pamalit sa tricycle.

Wala pang opisyal na balita kung kailan ito ilalabas sa merkado.

Ngunit ayon sa huling balita natin mukhang hindi agad ito mailalabas dahil nangangailangan pa di-umano ng karagdang tulong ang gumagawa nito mula sa pamahalaan.

Hitler aide Bormann 'escaped to Latin America'

Top Nazi Martin Bormann, who German authorities say died in 1945, escaped Berlin and lived in Latin America disguised as a priest, a former Belgian collaborator said in an interview published Saturday.

Paul van Aerschodt, 88, who was sentenced to death in Belgium in 1946 but broke out of prison before his execution and now lives in Spain, told the Derniere Heure newspaper he had met Bormann four times in La Paz, Bolivia, around 1960.

"Bormann had come from Paraguay and was plotting with some 20 officers a coup to overthrow (dictator Juan) Peron in Argentina," van Aerschodt said.

He claimed Bormann, who called himself Augustin von Lembach, passed himself off as a priest and celebrated masses, weddings and funerals and administered the last rites to the dying.

"But he remained a fanatic," van Aerschodt said, adding that he had made the choice not to give Bormann away but did not know what became of him.

He said Bormann had found refuge in Bolivia in 1947 after another priest helped him to obtain a visa.

Van Aerschodt said Bormann had visited a restaurant the Belgian ran in La Paz, as had former Lyon Gestapo chief Klaus Barbie, who was extradited to France in 1983 for trial and jailed.

Bormann, who was Nazi leader Adolf Hitler's private secretary and one of the most powerful figures in the Third Reich, left Hitler's bunker as Russian forces approached.

He reportedly died not far away, but was tried at Nuremberg in his absence and sentenced to death, while Nazi-hunters continued to look for him, particularly in Latin America.

However remains found in Berlin in 1972 were identified as Bormann's and he was officially declared dead by German authorities.

The identification was confirmed by DNA in 1998 but some sceptics believe the remains had been brought from elsewhere to be reburied in Berlin.

Van Aerschodt escaped from a Belgian prison in 1945 and fled to Spain where he was detained for a while but was helped by a priest to reach Bolivia and lived there till 1964.

He returned to Spain and worked for the United Nations for several years. He now lives in San Sebastian under the name of Pablo Simons and frequently visits Belgium, where his death sentence was invalidated in 1976 when Brussels abandoned the penalty.

Mona Lisa isang lalake?

Sa loob ng mahabang siglo marami ang may haka-haka na maaaring hindi babae ang modelo ni Leonardo Da Vinci sa kaniyang obra maestra na Mona Lisa. Ayon sa ilang palagay posibleng si Lisa Gherardini na asawa ng isang mangangalakal, maaaring si Isabella ng Aragon o dili kaya'y si Da Vinci mismo.

Ngunit para kay Silvano Vinceti, isang Italyanong mananalaysay sa arte ang Mona Lisa na pinta ni Da Vinci ay maaaring si Gian Giacomo Caprotti o kilala sa tawag na Salai, isang estudyante ni Da Vinci o posible ring karelasyon. Ito ang teoriya ni Vinceti sa isang pahayag kamakailan.

Sinabi pa ni Vinceti ayon sa kaniyang teoriya na si Salai ay paboritong modelo ni Leonard. Ito di-umano ay mapapansin dahil sa pagkakahawig ng ilong at bibig.

Mga Madre nagpakitang gilas

Nagpakitang gilas kamakailan ang mga madre ng Baguio Cathedral sa pamamagitan ng mga tugtuging "Toyang" ng Ereaseheads,  “I Will Follow Him,” ng pelikulang Sister Act na pinagbidahan ni  Whoopi Goldberg,” at "I have a Dream" ng Abba’s. Ang dahilan? Ito ang kanilang isang paraan kung paano makaakit muli ng mga papasok sa kombento.


Hindi lingid sa marami na bumulusok pababa ang mga aplikante para sa bokasyong ito tulad din ng pagpa-pari. Ito ang tinuran kamakailan ni Sr. Eva Vargas ng Villa Milagrosa Convent na umamin pang matatanda na ang mga madre sa mga kombento kaya kailangan na nilang gumawa ng paraan para may kapalit agad ang mga ito.

Nagulat lang tayo sa balitang ito dahil hindi ito karaniwang ginagawa ng mga madre. Ang totoo ngayon lang ako nakarinig nito. Dahil mula noon itinuturing ng marami na napaka-seryoso ng mga madre.


Idinagdag pa ni Vargas na nais nilang ipaalam na ang mga madre o ang pagma-madre mismo ay hindi lang naroroon sa mga kombento para magdasal ng magdasal kundi gumagawa din ng mga normal na gawain.
