Bible Verse of the Day

"Datapuwa't gaya ng nasusulat, Ang mga bagay na hindi nakita ng mata, at ni narinig ng tainga, Ni hindi pumasok sa puso ng tao, Anomang mga bagay na inihanda ng Dios sa kanila na nangagsisiibig sa kaniya. "

I Corinto 2:9
The Bible

Word of the Day
Southpaw
Noun/SOUTH-paw

What does it mean?
"Southpaw" is an informal word for someone who is left-handed. It is especially used for a left-handed baseball pitcher or boxer.

Word History
Sandy Koufax, Lefty Grove, Wh**ey Ford—there’s no doubt these southpaws are some of the greatest baseball players of all time. What is in doubt is the origin of the word southpaw. One popular theory ties it to the layout of baseball parks. To keep the afternoon sun out of batters’ eyes, diamonds were supposedly built so that the pitcher faced west, with their left arm, therefore, pointed south. This theory strikes out however, on account of the earliest known uses of the compound south paw referring simply to one’s left hand, unrelated to baseball. It wasn’t until later in the century that the word began to be used, via metonymy, first for a left-handed person, and then specifically for a left-handed pitcher.

Example Sentence:
The team’s new pitcher is a southpaw with a wicked knuckleball.

History of the Day
TARLAC

Several accounts show that Tarlac was once a thickly-forested area where tribes of nomadic Aetas thrived. Tarlac’s name first figured in written history as a praesidio or military port designated with the task of defending communities from the frequent lowland raids of the Negritos and Balugas.

Tarlac was the last province in Central Luzon to be created by the Spanish colonial government and was inaugurated as a regular province on May 28 of 1873.

History also reveals that initially, Tarlac belonged to the provinces of Pampanga and Pangasinan. Tarlac was among the first to revolt against the Spaniards, being one of the "eight rays of the sun in the Philippine flag" the "terranos de guerra". Officially the revolution in Tarlac started on January 24, 1897, the so-called "Cry of Tagumpay". The town of Tarlac became the seat of the Aguinaldo government from June 21 to Nov. 10, 1899.

Did You Know?
🌳 Trees can communicate through underground fungal networks

Fun fact: Trees can exchange resources and chemical signals through networks formed by mycorrhizal fungi.

Scientific explanation:
Certain fungi attach to plant roots and create extensive networks of microscopic filaments called hyphae. These networks can connect multiple plants. Through these relationships, plants can exchange nutrients such as carbon and phosphorus, while fungi receive sugars from their plant partners.

Scientists sometimes call these networks the “wood wide web.” 🌐🌳

Bible Verse of the Day

"Kundi pinili ng Dios ang mga bagay na kamangmangan ng sanglibutan, upang hiyain niya ang mga marurunong; at pinili ng Dios ang mga bagay na mahihina ng sanglibutan, upang hiyain niya ang mga bagay na malalakas; At ang mga bagay na mababa ng sanglibutan, at ang mga bagay na hinamak, ang pinili ng Dios, oo at ang mga bagay na walang halaga upang mawalang halaga ang mga bagay na mahahalaga: Upang walang laman na magmapuri sa harapan ng Dios. "

I Corinto 1:27-29
