Balik-Tanaw | The dissident love of Jesus
The readings for Palm Sunday begin with narrating the triumphant entry of Jesus and His disciples to Jerusalem. According to the story, Passover and the Feast of the Unleavened Bread is coming in two days’ time and a lot of Jews will go up to Jerusalem to celebrate the feast. As observant Jews, Jesus and his disciples came to Jerusalem in observance of the feast that will take place (John 12: 12-16; Mark 14:1-15). When they drew near Jerusalem, to Bethphage at the Mount of Olives, Jesus instructed his two disciples to go to a village where they will find an ass and to bring it to him. Jesus rode on the ass when he entered Jerusalem. The people accompanied him and they held palm branches while crying out, ‘Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the kingdom of our Father David that is to come! Hosanna in the highest!’ (Mark 11:1-10). The post Balik-Tanaw | The dissident love of Jesus appeared first on Bulatlat......»»

Ilocos cops nab stabbing suspect
ILOCOS NORTE — San Nicolas cops conducted a hot pursuit operation against an unidentified male who had allegedly stabbed Kevin Louise Deus, 29, a resident of Barangay 51-A Nangalisan in Laoag City on Friday morning. In the official report of the Philippine National Police, on 1 September 2023, at approximately 8:20 a.m., Liza Deuz, personally reported to the San Nicolas Municipal Police Stations that her son, Kevin Louise Deus, had been stabbed by an unidentified male individual in front of a store in Barangay 1 San Francisco in San Nicolas. According to the account of the victim's mother and his friends, they were purchasing liquor when two unidentified men, who had arrived in an orange Ford with license plate number IAE6527, confronted "Joel", a 29-year-old teacher residing in Brgy 52 A San Mateo, Laoag City. Without any apparent reason, one of the unidentified males punched Joel twice and retreated. Deus attempted to intervene and pacify the situation but was subsequently stabbed in his lower left abdomen by one of the unidentified suspects. Following the attack, the unidentified suspects fled in a southward direction aboard the orange vehicle. The victim was immediately transported to Mariano Marcos Memorial Hospital for medical treatment and is currently in stable condition. Following the report, personnel from the San Nicolas PNP conducted a hot pursuit operation to apprehend the suspect. Just a few minutes before lunch, they were able to arrest Mark Jun Arzaga, 30, a butcher and a resident of Barangay 22, San Guillermo in San Nicolas town. In an exclusive interview with Daily Tribune, Arzaga admitted that he stabbed Deus. However, Arzaga said, in his defense, he was disrespected by the group of Deus which prompted him to retaliate and alighted from his vehicle and stabbed Deus.

‘Butcher of Hoylake’ stays patient as he hunts British Open crown
British Open runaway leader Brian Harman says hunting has taught him "patience" and "strategy" as he closes in on his first major win at the Royal Liverpool Golf Club. The American, nicknamed the "Butcher of Hoylake" because of his fondness for hunting, is 12 under par after three rounds, five clear of compatriot Cameron Young. The 36-year-old, a runner-up at the 2017 US Open, is a two-time winner on the US PGA Tour but has not lifted a trophy for six years. Harman admitted after his two-under-par 69 on Saturday that he had envisioned becoming a major winner. "I've thought about winning majors for my whole entire life," he said. "It's the whole reason I work as hard as I do and why I practice as much as I do and why I sacrifice as much as I do. "Tomorrow if that's going to come to fruition for me, it has to be all about the golf." The world number 26 said hunting at home in America had taught him "patience and the strategy" for golf. "When I go out turkey hunting I can spend all day out there," he said. "Hunting is something else that I do that makes me lose track of time. "We've been on some really cool elk hunts out in Colorado, really tough hunting, tons of elevation, and then after we harvest the animal." He added: "I enjoy putting meat in the freezer. We eat wild meat a lot at home." Harman, who comes from the state of Georgia, said he was taught how to hunt as a young boy. "My dad used to take me hunting," he said. "We always made it a point that I knew how to skin a deer when I was eight years old... I enjoy it start to finish." jw/kca © Agence France-Presse The post ‘Butcher of Hoylake’ stays patient as he hunts British Open crown appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
Afghan women protest against beauty parlor ban
Security officials shot into the air and used firehoses to disperse dozens of Afghan women protesting in Kabul Wednesday against an order by Taliban authorities to shut down beauty parlors, the latest curb to squeeze them out of public life. Since seizing power in August 2021, the Taliban government has barred girls and women from high schools and universities, banned them from parks, funfairs and gyms, and ordered them to cover up in public. The order issued last month forces the closure of thousands of beauty parlors nationwide run by women -- often the only source of income for households -- and outlaws one of the few remaining opportunities for them to socialize away from home. "Don't take my bread and water," read a sign carried by one of the protesters on Butcher Street, which boasts a concentration of the capital's salons. Public protests are rare in Afghanistan -- and frequently dispersed by force -- but AFP saw around 50 women taking part in Wednesday's gathering, quickly attracting the attention of security personnel. Protesters later shared videos and photos with journalists that showed authorities using a firehose to disperse them as shots could be heard in the background. "Today we arranged this protest to talk and negotiate," said a salon worker, whose name has not been published by AFP for security reasons. "But today, no one came to talk to us, to listen to us. They didn't pay any attention to us and after a while, they dispersed us by aerial firing and water cannon." The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) condemned the protest breakup. "Reports of the forceful suppression of a peaceful protest by women against the ban on beauty salons – the latest denial of women's rights in #Afghanistan – are deeply concerning," it said in a tweet. "Afghans have the right to express views free from violence. De facto authorities must uphold this." In late June the Ministry for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice gave salons a month to close down, saying the grace period would allow them to use up stock. It said it made the order because extravagant sums spent on makeovers caused hardship for poor families, and that some treatments at the salons were un-Islamic. Too much make-up prevented women from proper ablutions for prayer, the ministry said, while eyelash extensions and hair weaving were also forbidden. A copy of the order seen by AFP said it was "based on verbal instruction from the supreme leader" Hibatullah Akhundzada. - Safe place - Beauty parlors mushroomed across Kabul and other Afghan cities in the 20 years that United States-led forces occupied the country. They were seen as a safe place to gather and socialize away from men and provided vital business opportunities for women. A report to the UN's Human Rights Council last month by Richard Bennett, the special rapporteur for Afghanistan, said the plight of women and girls in the country "was among the worst in the world". "Grave, systematic and institutionalized discrimination against women and girls is at the heart of Taliban ideology and rule, which also gives rise to concerns that they may be responsible for gender apartheid," Bennett said. Akhundzada, who rarely appears in public and rules by decree from the Taliban's birthplace in Kandahar, said last month Afghan women were being saved from "traditional oppressions" by the adoption of Islamic governance and their status as "free and dignified human beings" restored. He said in a statement marking the Eid al-Adha holiday that steps had been taken to provide women with a "comfortable and prosperous life according to Islamic Sharia". Women have also mostly been barred from working for the UN or NGOs, and thousands have been sacked from government jobs or are being paid to stay at home. bur-fox/ecl/dva © Agence France-Presse The post Afghan women protest against beauty parlor ban appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
Man’s measure
Only because my barber — not Kuwatog, mind you — would not stop talking about it between snips here and there — I got an earful on a burning issue of the day. That the raging debate escaped someone supposedly with a nose for news betrayed the arena where people have been bashing one another over it. Where else, but on social media. If only to ensure that he was wide awake as he gingerly passed the razor over my nape and sideburns (sideburns, really?), I interjected as needed to break his monologue. Such is the lesson every man should learn early in life, aside from how to spit-shine his shoes. Yes, a man is judged by the state of his footwear — and measured too by his shoe size. LOL. A baseless correlation, right, Kuwatog? But back to the lesson. That lesson is that if there’s one person a man should be able to trust, it’s none other than his barber. In his hands, a man could rest assured of catching some shut-eye and still getting up from the chair. Sweeney Todd, I am going nowhere near your bloody shop. Neither am I going to stick my neck out for you nor your delectation. My barber talked — no, make that pontificated — on how wrong it was for Mimiyawn (or Mumu-yun or Mamasan, or whatever) to say that one should not date someone who had no money, lest she end up dirt poor for life, trapped with a loser. I didn’t know the context of that influencer’s gab, and I was just too sleepy or lazy, or both, to pass judgment either way — pro or against. But surmise I did that the one being admonished was poor too. For if you’re rich and you swim outside your gilded “haves” pond, you being a pricey or prized Lapu-lapu taking a chance with a have-not “tilapia” might just have a happy ending, after all. Think of it like Mozart’s Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star: They may run through a gamut of variations, but whether the rudimentary first, the jazzy fifth, or the nearly macabre sixth, they all, nonetheless, sizzle and sparkle. Truly, a mere variation of women predisposed to having diamonds as their best friend — of marrying a 4-EME man: Matandang mayaman madaling mamatay (an old rich man with one foot in the grave). ‘Tis a well-told story, the love-triangle plot of the musical Fiddler on the Roof: Of the maiden Hodel being set up to marry Lazar Wolf, the town’s rich butcher old enough to be her dad, Tevye (played by Topol in the movie adaptation). You reading this, go ahead if you would, sing “Traditions” or “If I Were a Rich Man” ala Topol, or, more in line with the discussion, Hodel’s “Matchmaker, matchmaker,” especially the meaty: Matchmaker, Matchmaker, Plan me no plans I’m in no rush Maybe I’ve learned Playing with matches A girl can get burned So, bring me no ring Groom me no groom Find me no find Catch me no catch Unless he’s a matchless match. Hodel, of course, followed her heart’s dictates and ended up marrying the student from Kiev, Perchik, but amid the Russian Revolution of the 1900s, we were left hanging, asking whatever happened to the young lovers. My wife, she married into wealth, after biting into the ruse during a date that she had to pay for the burgers and fries because I left my ATM card at home. Told and retold as a funny cautionary tale, my daughters never ceased to find hilarious the “secret” that there was no ATM card to speak of at the time. My old paper was taking my newspaperman’s pay from the “petty cash” box, so how could there be an ATM? Haha. My wife, she married into wealth. Not wealth in terms of pesos, but a wealth of experiences in detaching one’s happiness from what’s in your pocket or wallet. Relax, I’m still working on it, but in my own sweet time.

Colonial spectators in bushes and temporary tents off course
By STEPHEN HAWKINS AP Sports Writer FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Max Butcher and his buddies felt as if they had front-row seats at Colonial, even in the bushes with no spectators allowed on the course. The group of five recent graduates from nearby TCU stood in a small gap between a row of shrubbery and a chain-link fence Saturday. They had a view of the fourth and fifth holes during the third round of the PGA Tour's first tournament in three months. “This is as good as it gets right now, and I can’t complain,” said Butcher, who has been in that spot multiple days this week. They had to push through gaps in the bushes to get to there but Jack Kurz, who stood next to Butcher, said the close-up view made it “almost better than getting a ticket." There were no tickets for anyone, not even for Colonial members. The PGA Tour isn't allowing spectators the first month back after the long hiatus because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of those members did have obstructed views from one of three temporary viewing areas set up in the yards of homes on the edge of the course. One was along the main road that leads to the clubhouse, and two others were near the 15th and 16th holes. One member watching Saturday from a raised tent across Colonial Parkway with partial views of parts of the second, third and fourth holes, called it “bittersweet.” The member, who didn’t want to give his name, wasn’t happy to be on the outside looking in, but was glad the tournament was being played three weeks after it was originally scheduled. He said others with him felt the same way. Held since 1946, Colonial is the longest-running PGA Tour event at the same venue. Cheers from a temporary grandstand erected in a backyard near the 16th tee box could be heard at the far end of the golf course. Nearby in another yard was another raised tent dubbed “Mockingbird Deck” — after the street name. When Corey Conners hit an approach to about 5 feet at No. 15 in the second round, he got quite a reaction from those outside spectators who could see it. “Yeah, it was pretty cool,” Conners said. “I know we’re used to getting applause and whatnot, and cheers when we hit good shots. So yeah, that felt nice. It was definitely different because that’s not happening really anywhere else on the golf course. So it put a smile on my face for sure." Jordan Spieth noticed people peeking through the fence by the No. 1 green and behind the second tee, where some rode up on their bikes. The Dallas native who attended the Colonial at times growing up was asked if he would ever try to sneak on a course. “I wouldn’t try and sneak on. I don’t think that’s going to go well for you,” Spieth said. “But certainly try and get a view." One man did get through the fence in a corner near those bushes beyond the fourth green Friday and watched some golf before he was forced to leave. Everyone stayed outside the fence there Saturday, with Butcher and his buddies among about a dozen spectators watching the holes that are part of Colonial's “Horrible Horseshoe” — including that long par-3 fourth hole and the difficult No. 5 hole that runs parallel to the Trinity River. The TCU grads were directly behind the fifth tee box, only a few feet from the players. “They definitely give us a reaction, they definitely are willing to talk to us and they like having us here even though you can’t have fans on the course right now," said Butcher, who had a ball tossed to him Friday from Sebatian Munoz, the No. 9 player in the world. Chris Zelda, standing in the shade not far from that group, has lived in Fort Worth for 33 years and has been going to the Colonial that whole time. He missed only one day in his unusual viewing spot this week, and planned to be there again Sunday to watch all the groups go by before going home to watch the rest on television. “Under the circumstances, I’m not disappointed at all. I think the way that this whole thing has been handled has been great,” he said. “I’m just glad these guys came, and I think they were ready to come and I think there’s people who were ready to come out and see it.” Including the guy who brought his six-foot ladder to get a view during the first round. “I saw him get his ladder out, I thought he was going to go do some work on the condos down there or something,” Zelda said......»»
