Self-portrait of Vincent van Gogh

There are certain writers that, when I see their byline, I read their stuff, even if it takes me a few weeks to find the time. Ever since reading his excellent The Island at the Center of the World, Russell Shorto has been one of those writers.

This video focuses on one of my favorite astrophysics facts: 94% of the observable universe is permanently unreachable by humans. (Unless we discover faster-than-light travel, but that's fantasy at this point.)

This expansion means that there is a cosmological horizon around us. Everything beyond it, is traveling faster, relative to us, than the speed of light. So everything that passes the horizon, is irretrievably out of reach forever and we will never be able to interact with it again. In a sense it's like a black hole's event horizon, but all around us. 94% of the galaxies we can ...

What should buoy Philippine sovereignty, and what should sink it?

Over two hundred kilometers off the Isabela coast in Luzon towards the Pacific Ocean is the 13-million-hectare Philippines Rise (imagine it bigger than the island of Luzon), erstwhile called Benham Rise before President Rodrigo Duterte's Executive Order 25, which declared it a protected food supply zone where mining and oil explorations are prohibited.

The Philippine claim to this underwater plateau is one reward for decades of joint efforts among government agencies, scholars and international technical experts. It sets the record as the country's first validated claim under the United ...

THE Provincial Government of Negros Occidental has assured that the province will continue to produce more hogs amid the declaration of a state of calamity in the country due to the African Swine Fever (ASF) outbreak.

Provincial Veterinarian Renante Decena said Tuesday, May 11, that the province aims to produce more ASF-free pigs not only to ensure steady supply and price of pork locally but also to help other provinces hardly hit by the dreaded disease affecting swine.

Decena said Negros Occidental, being a "green zone" or ASF-free province, is one of the most trusted and major suppliers of ...

IN THIS brief overview of the historic 1898 Negrense uprising against the Spanish colonial rule, we recall this event following the Katipunan revolt in the 1890s in Luzon. In this second part of our recollection, we briefly noted the beginnings of the Negrense reaction to the oppressive Spanish colonial system which we pointed out was mainly due to the Negrense concepts of political responsibilities and good government coupled with their awareness of the oppressive Spanish activities which violated their sense of human dignity and justice. We also noted the concomitant effects brought about by foreign influence through wider educational ...

MOTHERS are indeed irreplaceable. Their role in every family is valuable. But if one mom perishes, her love and the values that she instilled among her family members will never be forgotten and in fact, will even grow fonder.

Kini ang hinungdan nga ang mga aplikante sa pagka pulis gihashasan pag-ayo, gibansay ug giedukar sa balaud lakip sa pag-umol sa saktong pamatasan isip alagad sa publiko.

Di bastabasta ang gihimo ni Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Ahong Chan ang pag-adto sa mga barangay.

Dakong risgo sa panglawas sa mayor ang pagsud sa mga barangay sa siyudad aron pagtubag sa reklamo ug pagtabang sa katawhan.

Risgo tungod kay mibalik og taas ang kaso sa Covid-19. Ug way kulba si Ahong sa pagtabang sa mga tawo.

Lahi ning klase sa pulitiko si Chan kay maoy mangunay sa pagtabang. Samtang ang ubang pulitiko manago ug di makita sa mga tawo kay hadlok magka Covid-19.

Zombie heist action thriller film "Army of the Dead"—directed by Zack Snyder—will be making its worldwide release on Netflix this May 21.

While most casual fans know him for his work on superhero blockbusters ("Watchmen," "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice"), followers of the director's career would know that "Army of the Dead" isn't exactly his first rodeo with zombies. In fact, his feature film debut was the remake of the 1978 horror film "Dawn of the Dead" back in 2004.

Seventeen years after, the world will be seeing Snyder's own interpretation of the undead through "Army of the ...

Sometimes, I come to think that the debate over permitting Filipinos to use Ivermectin as treatment or prophylaxis (preventive medication) against Sars-CoV-2 may not be over safety at all but over self-interested profits from vaccine sales or whatever.

The issue of safety appears to be bloated unnecessarily. Logic can dissect these rationales easily.

First, Ivermectin is obviously safe even as used against parasitic infection and Bfad surely allowed its distribution in the Philippines. If prescribed within the recommended dose for anti-parasitic administration, then doing so in patients with Covid-19 will also be safe. These are the same human beings ...

THIS pandemic has seen the best and the worst in us. Of course, the worst are those who have taken advantage. We need not talk about that. Nothing is secret. The light will always expose the darkness. God knows. Rather let us focus on the goodness of people and their light.

I read a story about a PUV driver who gave out free rides because it was his way helping. No he is not running for office. He is just decent and helpful. The goodness of the act was the motivation itself. When he was asked why he did ...

CRYING is normal for us humans. Some of us came to this world already crying. It is already part of our nature. But as we grow up, we come to think of it as a sign of one's weakness. Because of that, we do it less and less as years pass. We tend to cry only for a few moments like when we are too happy, or when we lose a loved one, and even when we face a big problem and feel helpless. However, there are plenty of reasons why we should cry more often. Here are seven ...

That the fallout from the President's refusal to engage former Supreme Court senior associate justice Antonio Carpio in a debate that he (President Duterte) himself initiated is still being felt only means the challenge that was hurled was bad propaganda. There was a tinge of arrogance when President Duterte made the challenge during a press con. The President noted that he was willing to debate with Carpio because he himself is also a lawyer. "Anad na kuno siyag debate." He sounded so sure of himself. The Cebuano term for that is "gara," a trait bullies possess.

In some far-flung areas in Mindanao, some legitimate landowners abandoned their vast land because during harvest season their products are harvested by armed men. When they confronted the armed men on why they harvested their products when they are the legitimate and legal owners of the land, the armed men would simply answer, "Yes, this is your land, but the products are ours," while at the same time pointing their guns at the landowners.
