Nagpasiklab sina Juan Gomez de Liaño at DJ Fenner upang ipagpatuloy ang walang bahid na kampanya ng Strong Group Athletics-Pilipinas sa ikatlong sunod na panalo sa 2025 William Jones Cup, matapos nitong gapiin ang Qatar, 81–54, nitong Hulyo 15 sa Xinzhuang Gymnasium, Taiwan.

Sa kabila ng iniindang mga injury at sakit sa lineup, nanguna ang tambalang DJ Fenner at Javi Gomez de Liaño na kapwa nagtala ng 18 puntos upang sandigan ang Pilipinas sa kanilang panibagong panalo.

“We’re banged up right now,” pahayag ni head coach Charles Tiu, na inilahad ang kasalukuyang kondisyon ng kanyang koponan.

Bagamat kapos sa manpower, mabilis na kumamada ang SGA — nagsimula ito sa isang 13–2 run sa unang anim na minuto ng laban, buhat ng agresibong opensa ni Fenner na bumuhos ng 16 puntos sa first half pa lang.

Pagpasok ng second half, si Gomez de Liaño naman ang rumatsada, kumamada ng 13 puntos sa huling dalawang quarters para selyuhan ang pagkapanalo.

Nagdagdag din si Ian Miller ng 10 puntos para sa Pilipinas, habang si Andre Roberson — na naging susi sa unang dalawang laro ng koponan — ay nagtala ng 7 puntos, 10 rebounds, tatlong assists, dalawang steals, at dalawang blocks, sa kabila ng pamamaga ng kanyang tuhod.

Sa panalong ito, hawak na ng SGA ang 3–0 record sa torneo. Bago nito, tinalo nila ang koponan ng Japan Developmental Team, 79–67, noong Hulyo 14.

Susunod na makakalaban ng SGA ang matibay na Australia sa Miyerkules, Hulyo 16, ganap na alas-5 ng hapon.

Adam, the pot with cocks

 By Rjay Zuriaga Castor The pot with cocks ( PHOTO:   Thodoris Thou ) Far beyond the traditional terracotta pots, a Cyprian sculptor figuratively creates an eccentric "Adam", a male genetilia flower pot. Thodoris Thou (Greek word means "gift of god"), born in Cyprus but now living in a remote Grecian island in the Mediterranean Sea, is a self-taught sculptor and ceramist. In a magazine "Boys with Plants", he shared that his inspiration comes from Greek mythology, modern pop culture and nature, noting his passion about gardening. "I've been working with clay since 2006, and in the last few years, have managed to set up a small workshop in Nicosia. For the last two years I've focused on the 'Adam' pot," Thodoris said. "It started as a very personal project, that our body is basically a container. A vehicle that we have on this Earth, and through it you are born and grow into everything we want and love, like a plant growing in ...

By Eden Eve S. Lacea PHOTO: SunStar/Yahoo! News Fifty-four million Filipinos or more than 70% of the target population are now fully-vaccinated against COVID-19 despite the surge of Omicron cases and the difficulties caused by Super Typhoon Odette. According to the National Vaccination Operations Center (NVOC), a total of 111,383,756 vaccine doses were provided, of which 54,457,863 Filipinos or exactly 70.60% of the aimed populace had received full vaccinations as of January 13. In a statement by National Task Force Against COVID-19 Chief Implementer and vaccine czar Secretary Carlito G. Galvez Jr., damages caused by Super Typhoon Odette impeded the government's target to inoculate 54 million people last December 2021, but continued vaccination efforts helped raise the rollout even as Omicron cases continue to rise in the country.
