Ang Grandparents Day


Isang pagbati ng “Happy Grandparents Day”
(Iginuhit ni Dennis G. Dayao) ang itinampok
sa taklob-pahina ng Philippine Panorama
(September 12, 2010).

          Alam niyo ba na bukod sa karaniwang Mothers Day at Fathers Day ay mayroon ding Grandparents Day? Ito ay nagsimula noong 1978, nang ipoklama ni U.S. Presdient Jimmy Carter ang ikalawang araw ng Linggo ng buwan ng Setyembre bilang “Grandparents Day.” Ang pag-aalaala sa mga lolo at lola ay mula sa pagsisikap ng isang maybahay sa Fayette County, sa West Virginia, na nagngangalang Marian McQuade, na naglaan ng kaniyang panahon para sa kapakanan ng mga matatanda sa mga nursing homes.

          Sa taong 2012, ang Grandparents Day ay pumatak sa araw ng Setyembre 9.

Picture Trivia

Oprah Winfrey on the covers of Entertainment Weekly (September 9, 1994)
and People weekly (September 9, 1996).

          Oprah Winfrey is considered as one of the most influential women in the world. Her biography is full of “sad” experiences, though it is one of the most extraordinary “rag-to-riches” stories. Noteworthy are her contribution in the field of broadcast media and her being a philanthropist. Her opinions are highly valued by her viewers and because of this any products she endorsed are well-received by the viewing consumers. Any products she mentioned in her show that she likes do well in the market. Any person she introduced in her show as “extraordinary” eventually becomes well-known and successful. Even books that are virtually unknown become bestsellers once she picked it to be part of her “Book Club.” This has been termed as the “Oprah Effect.”

on the cover of Life (September 8, 1941).

         Picture Trivia

          According to most standard dictionaries, a “pigtail” is “a single long braid of hair hanging at the back of the head.” Hair fashion style history, however, defined “pigtails” (plural) as a hair style with two braids hanging on both sides of the head just above the ears.”
          During ancient times in China, it is a tradition that unmarried girls fixed their hair on this manner, two braids on both sides of the head. After marriage, it becomes a single braid on the back of the head. The Chinese brought this tradition to the West, and was subsequently adopted by Western women.

Ang Tyrannosaurus rex o T-rex
(kuha mula sa pelikulang Jurassic Park),
tampok sa taklob-pahina ng
Empire (August 1993).

          Alam niyo ba kung saan nagmula ang salitang “Jurassic?” Ang salitang “Jurassic” ay mula sa salitang Pranses na Jurassique na halaw naman sa pangalan ng Jura Mountains sa Switzerland. Sa mga limestone dominated area ng kabundukang ito nakatuklas ang German naturalist at explorer na si Friedrich Alexander von Humboldt ng kakaiba at hiwalay na formation (batay sa geologic era) noong 1792 na tinawag niyang “Jurakalk.” Ang pangalang Jura naman ay nagmula sa Celtic rootword na ‘jor” na ang ibig sabihin ay “gubat.”

          Sa Wikang Filipino, isang bagong euphemism ang salitang “dyurasik” (“Jurassic”) na ang ibig sabihin ay “ubod ng luma” o “ubod ng tanda” bilang pagsasalarawan, halimbawa, ng isang gamit o kasangkapan. Ang pagsasalarawang ito ay naging bahagi ng mainstream literature matapos ang pagpapalabas ng Jurassic Park (1993) at ng mga sequels nito sa Pilipinas.

Stegosaurus (buong larawan),

Brontosaurus (ulo at leeg ang makikita),

Larawang Tribiya

          Ang mga dinosaurs (sipatin ang kalakip na larawan) na stegosaurus (“cover lizard”), brontosaurus (“thunder“lizard) at rhamphorynchus (“prow beak”) ay nabibilang sa panahon ng Jurassic Period. Ang Jurassic Period ay ang pangalawang panahon (period) ng Mesozoic Era. Ang una ay ang Triassic Period, at ang sumusunod naman sa Jurassic Period ay ang Cretaceous Period. Ito ang mga panahon kung saan nagsulputan at nabuhay sa daigdig ang mga dinosaurs. Tinatayang ang panahon ng Jurassic Period ay naganap mga 200-145 milyong taon na ang nakakaraan (Basahin ang KARAGDAGANG KAALAMAN sa ibaba).

KARAGDAGANG KAALAMAN



Si Steven Speilberg na napapalibutan
ng mga Velociraptors, tampok sa
taklob-pahina ng Time (May 19, 1997).

          Alam niyo ba na maraming mali sa pelikulang Jurassic Park at sa dalawang sequel nito? Una sa lahat, ang tyrannosaurus rex o t-rex ay dinosaur na nabuhay sa Cretaceous Period at hindi sa Jurassic Period. Ganoon din ang velociraptor, triceratops, spinosaurus, etc.

                                      o     O     o

 

          Ang Jurassic Park ay isang nobelang science fiction na sinulat ni Michael Crichton noong 1990. Ganoon din ang 1995 sequel nito na The Lost World. Ang dalawang nobela ay ginawang pelikula na may mga kaparehong titulo ni Steven Speilberg noong 1993 at 1997. May ikatlong pelikulang nagawa na hiwalay sa mga nobela ni Crichton na dinirehe naman ni Joe Johnston noong 2001. Alam ni Crichton ang mga scientifically questionable details ng kaniyang nobela subalit ito pa rin ang ginamit na batayan sa mga pelikula.

          Sa Jurassic Park III, naglabanan ang tyrannosaurus rex at spinosaurus. Sa tunay na buhay, imposible itong mangyari, sapagkat magkaiba ang panahon at lugar kung saan nabuhay ang dalawang dinosaur. Bagama’t parehong nabibilang sa Cretaceous Period ang t-rex at spinosaurus, sa magkaibang bahagi ng panahon na ito na milyon-milyong taon ang pagitan sila nabuhay. Bukod dito ang t-rex ay lumaganap sa North America samantalang ang spinosaurus ay sa Africa.
