Sinéad O’Connor, the talented and controversial Irish singer-songwriter, dies at 56 

Sinéad O’Connor, the talented and provocative Irish singer-songwriter, has passed away at the age of 56. The news of Sinéad O’Connor’s death was announced on Wednesday and confirmed by her family, who requested privacy during this difficult time. The cause of her death has not been disclosed.

Throughout her career, Sinéad O’Connor was known for her powerful and expressive music, as well as her personal struggles, which she was open about. She spoke publicly about her diagnosis of bipolar disorder and shared her battles with mental illness.

O’Connor rose to international fame with her debut album, “The Lion and the Cobra,” released in 1987. However, it was her rendition of Prince’s ballad “Nothing Compares 2 U” in 1990 that catapulted her to superstardom. The emotional and searing performance, coupled with a compelling music video, topped charts worldwide and made her a household name.

Despite her musical success, O’Connor’s public image was often overshadowed by her provocative actions and outspoken political and cultural stances. She was a vocal critic of the Roman Catholic Church and stirred controversy in 1992 when she tore up a photo of Pope John Paul II on live television, denouncing the church as the enemy. She was also involved in public feuds with other artists and made headlines for her support of the Irish Republican Army.

Throughout her life, O’Connor remained true to her non-conformist nature. She famously shaved her head in defiance of record executives’ pressure to conform to traditional standards of beauty.

In 1999, she caused further uproar in Ireland when she became a priestess of the breakaway Latin Tridentine Church, a position not recognized by the mainstream Catholic Church. She continued to call for a full investigation into the church’s role in concealing child abuse by clergy.

In 2018, O’Connor announced her conversion to Islam, adopting the name Shuhada’ Davitt (later Shuhada Sadaqat) while continuing to use her professional name.

Sinéad O’Connor’s impact on the music industry was profound, and her music was loved and admired worldwide. She received numerous accolades and eight Grammy nominations, winning the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Musical Performance in 1991.

Despite retiring from music in 2003, she continued to create new material and remained an influential figure in the music community.

Her personal life was marked by several marriages and four children. She faced significant challenges, including the loss of her teenage son Shane to suicide.

The news of Sinéad O’Connor’s passing has been met with grief and tributes from fans, fellow musicians, and political figures. She leaves behind a legacy of powerful and meaningful music that will be cherished by generations to come.

Volunteers working to save nearly 100 beached whales in Australia, but more than half have died

Volunteers working to save nearly 100 beached whales in Australia, but more than half have died

PERTH, Australia. Volunteers worked frantically on a second day Wednesday to save dozens of pilot whales that have stranded themselves on a beach in Western Australia, but more than 50 have already died.

Nearly 100 long-finned pilot whales, stranded themselves Tuesday on the beach by the city of Albany, on the southern tip of Western Australia, south of Perth.

They were first spotted swimming Tuesday morning near Cheynes Beach east of Albany. As the day progressed, the pod began moving closer to the beach, sparking the concern of conservation officers. By 4 p.m., a large stretch of the shoreline was covered in beached whales.

Reece Whitby, Western Australia’s environment minister, said it was particularly frustrating because it’s not known why the phenomenon occurs.

“What we’re seeing is utterly heartbreaking and distressing,” he told reporters. “It’s just a terrible, terrible tragedy to see these dead pilot whales on the beach.”

Fifty-two whales had perished, and volunteers are doing what they can to try and save 45 still alive, he said.

“People are committed to doing what they can to save as many whales as they can,” Whitby said.

Western Australia state’s Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions set up an overnight camp to monitor the whales.

Peter Hartley, a manager from the department, told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. that the volunteers were trying to get the living whales back into the water and encourage them to swim away.

“We are optimistic that we will save as many as we can,” Hartley said.

The team tasked with helping the whales includes Perth Zoo veterinarians and marine fauna experts. They have been using specialized equipment, including vessels and slings.

Hundreds of volunteers also offered to help — so many that officials said they had enough registered volunteers and urged other members of the public to stay away from the beach.

Drone footage released by the department showed the whales clustering and forming into a heart shape before stranding themselves on the beach.

“This is just an amazing event,” Joanne Marsh, the owner the Cheynes Beach Caravan Park told the ABC. “We’ve never seen anything quite like this.”

Wildlife experts said the unusual behavior of the whales could be an indicator of stress or illness within the pod. Pilot whales are highly social animals and often maintain close relationships with their pods throughout their lives.

Macquarie University wildlife scientist Vanessa Pirotta said the drone footage could suggest the whales had become disoriented, although she said the exact reasons for mass strandings remain unclear.

“The fact that they were in one area very huddled, and doing really interesting behaviors, and looking around at times, suggests that something else is going on that we just don’t know,” she said.

She said she thought it unlikely the whales were trying to avoid a predator.

“They often have a follow-the-leader type mentality, and that can very much be one of the reasons why we see stranding of not just one but many,” Pirotta added.

The incident is reminiscent of one in September, in which some 200 pilot whales died after a pod stranded itself on the remote west coast of Tasmania, off Australia’s southeastern coast.

The following month, nearly 500 pilot whales died after stranding themselves on two remote beaches in New Zealand.

NDRRMC: Halos 180,500 katao ang naapektuhan habang nananatili ang lakas ni ‘Egay’

Tinatayang may isang namatay at nagdulot ng pagbaha at pagguho ng lupa sa ilang bahagi ng bansa ang Bagyong Egay, ayon sa pahayag ng state disaster agency kaninang umaga.

Sa pinakabagong ulat ng National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), isa ang ang nasawi sa Calabarzon. Dalawa naman ang nasugatan, isa sa Calabarzon at isa sa Western Visayas.

Naitala na ng NDRRMC ang 58 lugar na binaha sa limang rehiyon at 16 insidente ng pagguho ng lupa dulot ng malakas na ulan.

Nasa halos 180,500 katao naman ang naapektuhan ng malakas na hangin at pag-ulan dulot ng Bagyong Egay, ayon pa rin sa NDRRMC ngayong Miyerkules.

Batay sa opisyal na datos, ang mga biktima ng bagyo ay mula sa 261 barangay sa Ilocos Region, Central Luzon, Calabarzon, Mimaropa, Bicol Region, Western Visayas, Eastern Visayas, at Soccsksargen.

Sinabi ni NDRRMC spokesperson Edgar Posadas sa CNN Philippines na inilikas ng mga awtoridad ng halos 1,070 katao sa apat na rehiyon.

Kasalukuyang kumikilos patungong hilagang-kanluran ang bagyo bago ito lumabas ng Philippine Area of Responsibility sa Huwebes ng umaga, ayon sa huling bulletin ng PAGASA.

Ang mata ng bagyo ay huling natukoy sa kalapit na karagatan ng Calayan, Cagayan, ayon sa Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). Sinabi rin ng PAGASA na nananatili ang Bagyong Egay sa lakas na may maximum na sustained winds na 175 kilometro bawat oras (kph) at pagbugso na 240 kph.

Dalawang beses nag landfall ang bagyo sa Cagayan nitong Miyerkules ng umaga. Ang una ay alas-3:10 ng madaling-araw sa kalapit na lugar ng Fuga Island sa Aparri at ang pangalawa ay alas-9:30 ng umaga sa kalapit na lugar ng Dalupiri Island.

Ayon sa PAGASA, maaaring bumagal ang pagkilos ng Egay sa kalapit na lugar ng Babuyan Islands, at pagkatapos ay tutungo sa direksyon ng hilagang-kanluran o hilagang-hilagang-kanluran at dadaam sa karagatan sa timog at timog-kanlurang bahagi ng Taiwan.

Patuloy pa rin ang Signal No. 4 sa hilagang bahagi ng Cagayan, kasama ang Babuyan Islands, at sa hilagang bahagi ng Apayao at Ilocos Norte.

Nasa Signal No. 3 ang Batanes, ang natitirang bahagi ng Cagayan, ang natitirang bahagi ng Apayao, ang hilagang bahagi ng Kalinga, ang hilagang bahagi ng Abra, ang natitirang bahagi ng Ilocos Norte, at ang hilagang bahagi ng Ilocos Sur.

Nasa Signal No. 2 ang Isabela, ang natitirang bahagi ng Kalinga, ang Mountain Province, Ifugao, Benguet, ang natitirang bahagi ng Abra, ang natitirang bahagi ng Ilocos Sur, La Union, at ang hilagang at kanlurang bahagi ng Pangasinan.

Nasa Signal No. 1 naman ang Aurora, Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya, ang natitirang bahagi ng Pangasinan, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, Pampanga, Bulacan, Zambales, Bataan, Metro Manila, Rizal, Cavite, Laguna, ang hilagang bahagi ng Batangas, ang hilagang at sentral na bahagi ng Quezon, kasama ang Polillo Islands, ang Camarines Norte, ang hilagang bahagi ng Camarines Sur, at ang hilagang bahagi ng Catanduanes.

Inaasahan din ng PAGASA na magpapatuloy ang pag-ulan sa mga lugar na hindi sakop ng anumang signal, lalo na sa mga baybayin at mataas na lugar na maaaring masalanta ng hangin, sa susunod na tatlong araw.

Ayon sa weather bureau, ang mga lugar na apektado ng pag-ulan dahil sa enhanced southwest monsoon sa Biyernes ay ang Batanes, Ilocos Region, Zambales, Bataan, Cavite, ang timog na bahagi ng Quezon, Mimaropa, Bicol, at Western Visayas.

Samantala, handa naman ang national government na maglaan ng mahigit ₱173 milyon na standby funds matapos tiyajin na halos 40,000 pamilya ang apektado ng bagyo.

Dumaranas ngayon ng hanggang bewang na baha ang ilang barangay sa San Jose, Occidental Mindoro, ayon sa ulat ng MDRRMO, MEO, MENRO, MSWDO, at Municipal Information Office ng LGU San Jose sa Facebook.

NASA power outage temporarily halts contact with space station

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. A NASA power outage disrupted communication between Mission Control and the International Space Station on Tuesday.

Mission Control couldn’t send commands to the station and talk with the seven astronauts in orbit. The power outage hit as upgrade work was underway in the building at Houston’s Johnson Space Center.

Space station program manager Joel Montelbano said neither the astronauts nor station were ever in any danger and that backup control systems took over within 90 minutes. The crew was notified of the problem through Russian communication systems, within 20 minutes of the outage.

It’s the first time NASA has had to fire up these backup systems to take control, according to Montelbano. He said NASA hoped to resolve the issue and be back to normal operations by the end of the day.

NASA maintains a backup control center miles from Houston in the event a hurricane or other disaster requiring evacuations. But in Tuesday’s case, the flight controllers stayed at Mission Control since the lights and air-conditioning still worked.

Malakas na Bagyong Egay: Pinalikas ang mga residente at itinigil ang paglalakbay sa dagat

MAYNILA, Pilipinas. Papalapit ang isang malakas na bagyong Egay (international nameDoksuri) sa Hilagang Pilipinas nitong Martes, na nagtulak ng libu-libong paglikas at pagtigil sa biyahe sa dagat bunsod ng malakas na ulan at pag-apaw ng tubig hanggang sa 3 metro (halos 10 talampakan).

Inaasahang mananatili sa labas ng bansa ang pinakamalakas na hangin sa sentro ng bagyo habang binabaybay ng Bagyong Egay ang hilagang-kanlurang bahagi ng Cagayan at Batanes provinces, ngunit maaaring tamaan din ang mga malalayong isla sa bansa.

Ang 680-kilometrong (420-milya) lapad ng rainbar ng bagyo ay maaaring magdulot ng flash floods at landslides sa mga probinsya sa hilagang bahagi ng bansa, ayon sa Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

Ang bagyong Egay ay huling namataan sa 310 kilometro (193 milya) silangan ng Tuguegarao City sa lalawigan ng Cagayan, na may tinatayang taglay na hangin na umaabot sa 185 kilometro (115 milya) kada oras at pagbugso ng hangin na umaabot sa 230 kph (143 mph), ayon sa PAGASA..

Ang bagyong ito ay magpapalakas din ng ulan sa mga probinsya sa gitna at hilagang bahagi ng bansa. Inaasahan itong magpatuloy sa paggalaw patungong hilagang-kanluran malapit sa Taiwan at maglalakbay patungong China sa huling bahagi ng linggong ito.

Kaugnay nito, sinabi ni Cagayan Governor Manuel Mamba na sinuspinde niya ang trabaho sa kanyang probinsya upang bigyan ng pagkakataon ang mga tao na maghanda sa paparating na bagyo at inutusan lumikas ang libu-libong tao sa 11 bayan sa tabing dagat bilang pag-iingat.

“Supertyphoon ito at isinasagawa namin ang pre-emptive evacuations sa lahat ng baybaying barangay dahil takot kami sa storm surges,” sabi ni Mamba sa The Associated Press sa telepono, idinagdag pa niya na nagbabala na ang mga weather forecasters sa posibleng pag-apaw ng tubig ay maaaring umabot sa taas na 3 metro (halos 10 talampakan).

Bukod sa trabaho, sinabi ni Mamba na kanselado rin ang mga klase sa mga kolehiyo mula Martes hanggang Miyerkules. Ang mga mag-aaral sa mga antas ng elementarya at hayskul ay nasa bakasyon na rin, dagdag pa niya.

Hinimok ni Tuguegarao City Mayor Maila Ting-Que ang publiko na maging maingat at ipinatupad ang pagbabawal sa pag-inom ng alak, may babala na parurusahan ang mahuhuling lumabag dito. Bawal na rin ang paglalayag ng mga mangingisda dahil sa pagtaas ng alon sa dagat.

Halos 10,000 mga pasahero ng inter-island ferry at mga drayber ng cargo truck, kasama na rin ang 100 mga pasahero at cargo vessel at motor bancas, ay stranded sa ilang mga pantalan kung saan ipinatupad ang no-sail order dahil sa bagyo at pag-ulan dulot ng enhanced monsoon, ayon sa Philippine coast guard.

Sa Taiwan, kanselado ang bahagi ng taunang Han Kuang military exercises nitong Martes.

Ang isang ehersisyong naglalayong simulahin ang paggamit ng civilian airport sakaling masira ang mga airstrip ng militar ay kanselado dahil ito ay nasa timog-silangang baybayin ng Taiwan, kung saan lumaki na ang alon.

Sa pinakatimog na bahagi ng Taiwan, umabot na sa 2.5 metro (8 talampakan) ang taas ng alon, ayon sa Central Weather Bureau ng Taiwan.

Balancing family and career: The academe’s Baguio and Pasig

Deeply concerned with corruption, Benjamin Magalong and Vico Sotto wanted to see their cities free from it and act swiftly on it. They knew it was a tall order. What they did as city mayors seemed a fighting chance for the whole country to follow the same. Baguio and Pasig can somewhat be compared to the function of higher education institutions. The two cities learn and act on what they learn, but there is the regret that what they are doing may come to nothing after only a few years because based on many studies, corruption in the country will only repeat itself and it will even get worse.

When Mayor Magalong of northern Philippines’ Baguio talks about corruption in the LGUs, the people he talks to look at their cellphones (“umiiwas”). On the other hand, Mayor Vico of Pasig right inside metropolitan Manila revealed that corruption has been normalized (“hindi kadiri”).

No matter how serious the two cities are required in devising ways to reduce corruption, it will lose its meaning. What is truly required? Free themselves from corruption, not a mere reduction.

Kung nahihirapan sa gawa, dadamihan pa ba natin sa salita?

If it is indeed difficult, will we increase in words? Sapul kami sa academe. (I belong there, minus the more than 17,000 vacant professor positions.) True. The reason is in the function. It needs to be repeated (next read next year or next decade, it still needs to be repeated): That is the reason – valid excuse instead of alibi – because aside from R&D centers, universities are a prime creator of knowledge (Sutz et. al, 2000s). Isa pang ulit: Sapul man kami pero kakaunti kami sa madugong trabaho.

So it is difficult for a president of the country to tell us in the academe that they “are doing everything (including the promise of 20 pesos a kilo of rice under the tutelages of agriculture and other departments).” Or is it like this: “We’re grandstanding everything?” After all, if he already confessed, alluding to a particular department when he visits one country after another that all he has to do is papogi, that should not just be buried on the inside pages of “international” but a banner headline. Care to listen:

“These trips that (we/I) have taken have been quite successful because they have been so well put together. When I get there I’m properly briefed, I have good information, maayos ang takbo… All I have to do is make papogi for everybody because you (diplomats) did the legwork for me already. With that, I hope you realize how appreciative we all are for the very difficult, sometimes extremely complicated, and always quiet work that you do.”

The Secretary of Agriculture, who is also the Head of State and chief of all executives in foreign affairs and other agencies under the Executive Department mentioned in the 1987 Constitution, simply does not have details to back up his claims that everything is being done properly. And by himself? Perish the thought. Marami siyang hindi mabitaw-bitawang posisyon, wala namang mabitawang detalye ng konkretong aksyon sa kahirapan, kagutuman, at lalong lalo na sa korupsyon.

 It is not morally acceptable for citizens to be quiet or for the media to shun the right questions and not demand the right answers because, if we are bound by our responsibility to speak up, that is for our family and for our work.

Every time we, and not just the academe, remain silent, we think about that as a representation of risk. The academe at present is like Baguio and Pasig. It is willing to take the risk, but will not back down to work on its primordial functions for our family and for our work.

Torn Apart: The Heartache of a Husband Taken by His Children from a Previous Marriage

I was warned by Madel to be cautious in talking to Romy because every word I uttered was being secretly recorded and forwarded by his ‘nanny’ to the children in Dubai – a warning that raised my awareness that someone was stabbing me in the back.

Such a scheme I thought put to shame a plot of a mediocre telenovela! Then I noticed that every time I would raise my voice to drive a point, there would be a phone call from one of the kids checking the condition of their father – a confirmation that something uncalled for was happening behind my back.

For the first time in 20 years, I felt insulted considering that I religiously performed my duties and obligations as a good wife. As a mother still in pain for the early loss of my own kids, I had no time entertaining the idea back then that the ‘nanny’ was up to some sort of conspiracy with the kids to send Romy to Dubai and to stay there for good with her as the traveling companion. Not until one day when Roreen called me inviting Romy and I to go on vacation even for only two months. I said it would be very hard for us to travel because their father is totally blind and I was not in the pink of health. 

I can still clearly recall Rona, the eldest of the siblings trying to convince me by saying “pahiram lang ng isang overnight kay Tatay”. That was it! Reading between the lines, I knew I had to say yes. I explained to the children that I cannot go because I was under heavy medication during that time and if they will agree, they can ask his ‘nanny’ to accompany him. I did not expect that that was what his ‘nanny’ was actually waiting for.

Without batting an eyelash and with a mischievous smile on her face, she agreed and even proudly announced to me that her passport was ready. I was speechless and repulsive inside. I cannot imagine my husband traveling with her for very personal reasons only the Almighty and I knew what.

Immediately thereafter, their travel documents were processed by the children without any courtesy of showing me the visa. I was made to believe that they will only stay there in the UAE for two months but as it turned out, they stayed there beyond our agreed time.

I was emotionally devastated because I felt I was betrayed to fall into what I considered a “grand conspiracy” to separate us.

To appease the madness burning inside me, I talked to my close friends about it who gave me varying opinions that only muddle my thoughts. Some said I should graciously decline the invitation considering that it was pandemic and problems might arise during the trip. Others opined that allowing him to go without me was tantamount to ‘separation’ which should not be the case because both of us are already on our way into the sunset; that we should stay together for all the remaining years of our lives; that we should remain true to our marital vow. 

Honestly, I had to tread the very fine line between my love and devotion for him as a wife and my obligation to grant the wish of his children.

I know life is not a bed of roses and there are times when I have to make a tough decision. Sacrifice like patience is a virtue. I did not argue with the kids anymore and just prepared the things Romy might need for his trip, constantly reminding him to be in touch once he reached his place of destination. Since then, he would display unusual behavior common to octogenarians suffering from dementia – asking for long lost things like money allegedly hidden somewhere; complaining of hunger when he had just eaten; concocting make-believe stories like being placed under the bed and being fed with spoiled food; and seeing his dead friends when lying in bed.
