This album was “Gerry Mulligan & Astor Piazzolla”. But it was through “Song for Strayhorn” (Carnegie Hall concert CTI album) I fell in love with the music of Gerry Mulligan. My impressions were: “How great this man is to be able to compose so nicely!, to improvise so marvellously! and to give us such feelings!” Step by step my interest for the music increased I bought regularly his albums and I became crazy from the Concert Jazz Band LPs. Then I appreciated the pianoless Quartets with Bob Brookmeyer (The Pleyel Concerts, which are easily available in France) and with Chet Baker. Just married with Danielle, I spent some days of our honey moon at Antwerp (Belgium) and I had the chance to see the Gerry Mulligan Orchestra in concert. After the concert my wife said: “During some songs I had lost you, you were with the music of Gerry Mulligan!!!” During these 30 years of travel in the music of Jeru, I bought many bootleg albums. One was very important, because it gave me a new direction in my passion: the discographical part. This was the album “Gerry Mulligan – Vol. 2, Live in Stockholm, May 1957”.

    NASA Sees Typhoon Nesat Nearing Landfall in Northern Philippines 26 September 2011

    NASA sees Typhoon Nesat nearing landfall in northern Philippines 26 September 2011 26 as its center approaches northern Luzon, Philippines. It was located only 225 miles east- northwest of Manila, near 15.9 North and 124.2 East. It was moving to the west-northwest near 14 knots (16 mph/26 kmh). Satellite imagery shows tightly-curved bands of thunderstorms wrapping into the low level center of circulation. That's an indication the storm is well- organized. The strongest convection and thunderstorms are mostly over the western semi- circle of the storm today. Microwave satellite data does reveal Nesat has an eye which helps forecasters pinpoint Nesat's center. PAGASA, the Philippines' meteorological service expects Nesat (Pedring) will make landfall Tuesday This visible image of Typhoon Nesat was captured by afternoon (local time/Philippines) over Casiguran, the MODIS instrument on Sunday, Sept. 25, at 2:40 UTC Aurora and will be in the vicinity of Baguio City. as its western edges began to spread over the Coastal areas can expect dangerous surf and high Philippines. Nesat's eye is not visible in this image. ocean swells, heavy rainfall and gusty winds. Credit: NASA Goddard MODIS Rapid Response Team Many watches and warnings are in effect.

    Maritime Disasters in Spanish Philippines: the Manila-Acapulco Galleons, 1565–1815

    IJAPS, Vol. 11, No. 1, 53–83, 2015 MARITIME DISASTERS IN SPANISH PHILIPPINES: THE MANILA-ACAPULCO GALLEONS, 1565–1815 Efren B. Isorena* Ateneo de Manila University, Philippines email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Naufragios or shipwrecks were calamitous events in the 250-year history of the line. Their disastrous impact was felt more in the western end of the line—in the Philippines. The present study seeks to understand why and how these disasters occurred. To answer these questions, the frequency, geographic distribution and causes of shipwrecks involving Manila galleons were examined in order to understand the interplay of various hazards along the Manila-Acapulco route. The study reveals that 90 percent of these disasters occurred in the western portion of the line—the Philippines, Japan and the Marianas—70 percent of which occurred within Philippine coasts and archipelagic waters. Marine hazards dot the entire stretch of the Manila galleon route from Cavite to San Bernardino with every step in the way being associated with a lost galleon. Along the archipelagic route, the San Bernardino Strait accounted for most of the wrecked galleons. Most, if not all, incidents of shipwrecks were attended by severe weather condition. However, the severe punishments inflicted on galleon officers and government officials involved in shipwreck incidents emphasised the human factor in the occurrence of maritime disasters. Generally, the Manila-Acapulco line operated under favourable winds and sea conditions until it reached the western end of the line underscoring the need for more stringent safety measures navigating these waters where weather, topography and human error combined to create catastrophic ending for many of the Manila galleons.

    SITUATION UPDATE NO. 01 TYPHOON/ PHILIPPINES Sunday, 7 December 2014 07:00 hrs 1. Summary of Disaster Event On Saturday 6 December 2014 at 21:15 (Philippine time), Typhoon ‘HAGUPIT’ or ‘Ruby’ (local name) made landfall in Dolores, Eastern Samar. Currently, this typhoon comes with maximum sustained wind of 160 km/h with cruising speed of 15 km/h. Typhoon ‘HAGUPIT’ brought also storm surge and heavy rainfall that caused flooding in several areas in Eastern Samar including the city of Borongan. The estimated forecast landfall after Eastern Samar will be Masbate, Sibuyan island, Romblon, Tablas island and Oriental Mindoro. Typhoon ‘HAGUPIT’ after landfall slowed down that made it more dangerous due to longer time for heavy rainfall in the area and potential wind gust up to 200 km/h. Public Storm Warning Signal #3 (Winds of 100 - 185 kph is expected in at least 18 hrs) is raised in Catanduanes, Albay, Burias Island, Sorsogon, Masbate, Ticao Island, Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, Samar, and Biliran. National Capital Region to include Manila is under Public Storm Warning Signal No.1. Page 1 2. Assessment of Disaster Impact The following figures are summarized from NDRRMC Situation report no.7 preparedness measures on 7 Dec 2014 at 06:00 hrs : 146,875 families or 716,639 persons have been pre-emptively evacuated Airports were closed in Naga, Legazpi, Albay, Tacloban, Leyte, Calbayog and Samar Power outages have been experienced in the following regions: Region IV-A: Quezon Province Region VI: Some part of Iloilo Region VIII: Northern Samar Province: 16 cities/municipalities Eastern Samar Province: 21 cities/municipalities Samar Province: 23 cities/municipalities Leyte Province: 3 cities/municipalities Southern Leyte Province: 12 cities/municipalities Cellular networks were down in some parts of Leyte and Eastern Samar 3.

In addition the 224 named 3 by accuracy to spp. (and sspp.), some 65-70 still undescribed or unidentified (to species level) taxa are listed. Detailed data for 14 named which listed from the collecting are presented spp., arc Philippines for the first time, viz. Archibasis viola, Ceriagrion cerinorubellum, Acrogomphusjubilaris, Ictinogomphus decoratus melaenops, Gynacantha arsinoe, G. dohrni, Heliaeschna simplicia, H. uninervulata, Indaeschna grubaueri, Tetracanthagyna brunnea, Macromia westwoodi, Aethriamanta gracilis, Neurothemis fluctuans and Rhyothemis obsolescens. Prodasineura obsoleta (Selys, 1882) is synonymized with P. integra (Selys, 1882) and Gomphidia platerosi Asahina, 1980 with G. kirschii Selys, 1878. A few other possible synonymies are suggested for future confirmation. A brief review of the earlier studies on Philippine Odonata is presented. Grouped according to the present understanding of the Philippine biogeographical regions, all major islands are briefly characterized and separate lists are given for 40 islands. The records are based onliterature data, and on ca 27 000 specimens in Roland 000 SMF Muller’s collection, ca 2 specimens in coll. Ris at and on some other smaller collections studied by the authors. INTRODUCTION While the second author made plans for a zoological expedition to the Philip- pines in 1985, Dr Bastiaan K i a u t a suggested him to take collecting of dragon- flies as one of the goals, because the knowledge of the Philippine Odonata fauna was very inadequate.
