Lesson in bioloigical science and ecology. For discussion.

Can you re- arrange on a scientific basis the sequencing of the plagues of ancient Egypt in the time of Moses? Which of the 10 plagues constitute the 7 plagues in another version? Which of these are probably not true? What intervening events or causes are important to support your revision? Support your answers.

The River Nile turns red.

The country is overrun by giant frogs.

Gnats and lice emerge in gigantic swarm.

Animals in large number get sick and die.

People and animals suffer of boils.

Hail storms destroy crops and animals.

Locusts swarm and darken the sky.

Darkness covers the whole of Egypt for three days

Eldest sons die.

Barangay Greater Lagro, QC

You make your daily round
in our quaint subdivision,
calling like a song - Buko...
and the air becomes alive.

A touch of the Pied Piper,
a touch of the happy gypsy,
young and old and baby
they all join the spree.

Move over bottled water,
move over carbonated drink,
this ambrosia, young nut
of the world's miracle tree.

Buko man, you've a calling
with your family to gain;
your song creates a gentle stir
like a breeze in summer.

Don't miss summer at sea

Oh, sea, take away the pains and cares of the world
into your deep, and with your soothing cold,
even only for a while some memories of gray and old,
but spare the sweet nothings of childhood.

Freedom in weightlessness, next to soaring to cloud nine,
momentarily leaving the world, while we are in our prime.

What could it be on the island, and beyond -
and far into the horizon to explore;
Columbus and Galileo, in their time found
what we, to our God, used to implore.

Dive to the bottom of the sea,
and be part of the underworld
else all that you imagine to see
is reflection of the human world.

Wading in the sea is indeed risky -
sea urchins and coral fish along the way
await the unwary, the weak,
save those who know and pray.

Who is afraid of the sun and sea,
when you grow up with them and Thee?

Fishing all day is liberty from work and family;
paid by catch aplenty to meet ones responsibility

School can wait, childhood can't.
The school closes, the sea everyday claps.
As every wave on the shore laps,
pleasant and quaint.

Images of Red, Hot Summer to Remember by

Dr Abe V Rotor

Sweltering hot on a summer day,
     I dared to go out and play.
Would I cower from the sun and breeze
     in an aircon room in ease?

Through the years I asked this myself
     like an old book in a shelf;
A grownup now of many a summer gone
   still afraid of the sun?

Tame me, I asked the camera's eye,
    to places we go before I die;
Long live did I, and perhaps forever,
    these photos to remember by. ~
