THE Philippine Floorball Association (PFA) is in high spirits for its campaign in the First Asia Oceania Floorball Confederation (AOFC) Tournament in Bangkok set for six days starting on Saturday.

The primary goal is to take home our first victory, mens head coach Peter Eriksson told the Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum on Tuesday at the Golden Phoenix Hotel.

The eight participating countries will be divided into two groups. The Philippines is in Group A with China, Iran and Singapore, while Group B is composed of India, Indonesia, South Korea and Thailand.

Ramos said floorball was first introduced to Filipinos in 2010 by a Swedish doing missionary work. The Philippines was recognized by the International Floorball Federation (IFF) on May 8, 2011, as its 53rd member-country.

The PFA maintains clubs at University of the Philippines Diliman, University of Makati, UA&P and De La Salle Zobel. They also organize the Philippine Floorball League (PFL) held every year since 2012.

Seychelles seat capacity up 27% thanks to the arrival of Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines; Asia and Europe lead growth – anna.aero

Posted: at 6:38 am

Qatar Airways CCO Dr. Hugh Dunleavy was welcomed by Seychelles Minister of Tourism, Civil Aviation, Ports and Marine, Alain St Ange, after the touchdown of the oneworld members inaugural flight to the Seychelles from Doha in December. OAG schedules show that weekly seat capacity to the nation is up 27% in S17 when compared to S16.

The Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of East Africa. Its home to numerous beaches, coral reefs and nature reserves, as well as rare animals such as the giant Aldabra tortoises. This predominately leisure destination (only 3.0% of visitors to the Seychelles in 2016 travelled for business) has a population of around 94,200 inhabitants according to the countrys National Bureau of Statistics.

Last year, the Seychelles welcomed303,177 visitors, of which only 0.3% did not arrive by air. In 2006 the nation welcomed 140,627 visitors, meaning that international visitor numbers to the Seychelles have grown 116% when compared to over 10 years ago. Of those who arrived via Mah Airport in 2016, the countrys only international hub, 300,356 ended their journey at Mahwhile 1,932 (or 0.6%) transited.In 2016 the top three geographical regions for visitors to the Seychelles were Europe (63% of visitors), Asia (23%) and Africa (11%). When compared to 2015, visitors from Europe and Asia increased by 11% and 17% respectively. The National Bureau of Statistics states that visitors from Africa decreased by 8% between 2015 and 2016.

For the w/c 27 June, schedules show that weekly seat capacity to the Seychelles is up 27% when compared to the same week of the previous year, no doubt helped by the arrival of Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines towards the end of 2016. Looking at annual one-way seats for the nation between 2007 and 2016, the results show that the average year-on-year increase in capacity is 6.2%. With 2016 capacity rising by nearly 19%, and 2014s having grown by close to 36%, it indicatesthat the popularity of the Seychelles has increasedduring the past few years when compared to the start of the decade.

Source: OAG Schedules Analyser data.

Referring to OAG schedules, the number of available seats from the nation is certainly higher than the visitor numberspublished by theNational Bureau of Statistics. Even if we doubled the visitor statistics to give a representation of one departure and arrival count per passenger, it still falls short of the total one-way seat capacity. However what both sets of data show is that the popularity of the Seychelles as a destination is certainly on the rise during the past few years.

Air Seychelles is the largest carrierof the 10 airlines (up from eight in S16) that serve its home nation, with it occupying just under 60% of all seats, however its overall share of the market has dropped 0.4% when compared to the same week last year. It currently has a fleet of: two A320s; two A330-200s; and six DHC-6 Twin Otters for intra-island hopping. Overall the carrier has increased its seat capacity from the nation by nearly 26% during the past 12 months.

Source: OAG Schedules Analyser data. *SriLankan Airlines, while a new carrier, replaces Mihin Lanka on the route to Colombo, so therefore it is not a brand new service unlike Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines.

The Seychelles has welcomed three new carriers during the past year Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines and SriLankan Airlines. While the latter is a new carrier to the nation, it replaced Mihin Lanka (which has now ceased operation) on the route to Colombo, so therefore it is not a brand new service unlike Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines (highlighted in light green). Of the top 10 serving airlines, only one (highlighted in red) has posted a capacity decline over the last 12 months, that being Etihad Airways (-9.3%). A summary of the new routes launched in the last year from the Seychelles include: Air Seychelles to Dsseldorf and Durban (both launched 30 March); Qatar Airways from Doha (12 December); and Turkish Airlines from Istanbul Atatrk (31 October). One city pairthat has ended in the past year is Air Seychelles service to Beijing (ended 15 February).

One of the two routes launched by Air Seychelles in the last year was Dsseldorf, with the first flight being greeted in the German city with a water arch salute. The carriers capacity from its home nation has increased by close to 26% during the past 12 months, with it occupying just under 60% of all seats from the nation in S17.

How to Experience A Taste of the Caribbean in Los Angeles – HuffPost

Posted: at 6:37 am

This past weekend Hollywood Blvd. came alive with the sounds and energy of the islands. Trinidad, Barbados, St. Lucia, Haiti and beyond, all "getting on bad" through dance in the name of unity and tradition. While other U.S. cities like Miami and New York are well-known for their Caribbean carnival celebrations and demographic, Los Angeles is stepping to the forefront with its annualCulture Festival and Hollywood Carnival Paradein hopes to put the city's Caribbean pride on the international map.

Founded in 2012, the annual week-long event includes dance, crafts, food and music from around the world. Trinidad's soca superstar Machel Montano hosted EPIC MAS Band this year with hundreds of men and women in colorful costume dancing to the best soca mixes down Hollywood Blvd. The parade ended at Carnival Village, where various food vendors offered a taste of the Caribbean and a lively performance by Machel.The energy was palpable, with people proudly singing the words to some of Trinidads biggest soca songs.

Hollywood Carnival

Hollywood Carnival has continued to grow over the years. If you are thinking about getting road ready for the next one, here are just a few ways to make sure you are doing it right:

1. Bring a flag: If you own your countrys flag, bring it. Wave it. There is a pride in being from the Caribbean that carnival parades capture perfectly. Dont worry about cues. There are plenty of people around you and songs that will tell you exactly when to raise it high.

2. Do your research: Its wonderful to dance freely amongst strangers and friends, but learning the history of Carnival is important too. Beyond the bacchanal and wining, Carnival honors the legacy of slaves who forged their own celebration through masquerading in the fields. Carnival is the culmination of people finding a way to freedom through movement.

3. Choose a band. Groups of people form bands for Carnival day. Each band has a section that wears its own costume. Some carnivals can have up to 20 different bands. Budget, age demographic, and interests are just a few of the deciding factors that may help you choose the right group for you. For Hollywood Carnival, EPIC MAS band is great choice, with some of the biggest djs, most diverse crowds and best costumes.

4. Let go. No, really. Leave your problems and stress at home. Being on the road is all about freedom the kind that makes adults smile like children. All body shapes and sizes are welcome. All positive energy is manifested and magnified. This is the magic of Carnival.

5. Come with an appetite. Nothing works up an appetite quite like dancing for hours in the sun. Carnival planners know this well and are ready to feed the crowds with some of the Caribbeans best dishes: bake and shark, pelau, jerk chicken, roti, and, if youre lucky, some good ole Trini doubles.

Photos: NOLA Caribbean Festival showcases local and international flavors – OffBeat Magazine

Posted: at 6:37 am

Photo by Colin Yaccarino.

This past Saturday, a city often deemed the Northernmost in the Caribbean and its truly-Caribbean counterparts dug up their common roots in the back of a barbecue joint, celebrating their shared heritage of smoked meats and African-inspired rhythms.

Central City BBQ hosted the NOLA Caribbean Festival, showcasing a variety of local and international music and vendors, many of which proudly displayed the flag of their country of origin, ranging from Haiti to Honduras.

Underneath the lights strung across the restaurants outdoor courtyard, the first day of the festival featured DJ Lion, Nkruka African Dance, Alexey Marti, Zyanhigh, Etana and a Dancehall Queen Competition on their one stage.

While all the acts had the comfortably crowded courtyard swaying, the stand out of the night was Etana. With a stage presence that wove together the intimacy of your high school best friend and glamorous ease of your high school prom queen, the Jamaican-born signer delivered her reggae beats with a playfulness that put you at awe and at ease. She took a special interest in her audience, joking with the crowd and dancing along to her music as she reminded them of what they had gathered to celebrate in the first place: good caribbean music.

Between the drum beats, festival goers shopped and snacked on mostly local fare with an international flare. People could buy everything from local hand-made soap to shark meat sandwiches from Trinidad and Tobago. Food vendors included Johnnys Jamaican Grill, Taylor Made Wings, Boswells, The Pupusa Lady, Fritai, Island Paradise, Karibu Kitchen, Trini Queen, Amina Dadas Rasta Burgers, Zippy Fruit and Irie Nyammings.

NOLA Caribbean festivals Sunday line up included DJ Megatron, Neptune Steel Pan Orchestra, Merengue 4, Yard Squad Band, I-Majesty and T-Rock.

Exclusive: ‘Pirates of the Caribbean 5’ Concept Art Shows the Evolution of the Ghost Soldiers – Collider.com

Posted: at 6:37 am

One of the neater aspects of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales was the design of Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem) and his band of ghost soldiers. The movie utilized a neat kind of underwater effect so that the partial bodies of the soldiers would always seem to be submerged even when they were on dry land. It was a nice way of differentiating this group of baddies from the skeleton pirates of the first film, Davy Jones crew from the second two films, and whatever the hell the bad guys were in the completely forgettable fourth movie.

Today, were pleased to show you some concept art (courtesy ofMPCs Culver City based Concept Art team) that shows the development of the ghost soldiers. As you can see, all the designs made use of the submersion effect, but this early concept art shows that there was originally an idea to have burn marks as well so that the soldiers would also look like they were on fire. Perhaps they ditched it because it was too similar to Blackbeards smoldering beard in On Stranger Tides, or maybe it was just too much going on when combined with the submersion effect, but whatever the case may be, the final film dropped it.

Heres what MPC had to say about designing the ghost soldiers:

MPC also created the majority of the ghostly crew that Captain Salazar leads as well as the Ghostly form of Salazar himself starting with concept art designs created by MPCs Culver City team to show how the crew could look. The idea behind the ghosts was that they are preserved in the exact form that they died in when their ship exploded in the Devils Triangle. Salazar has a giant hole in his head and other pirates are in similarly maimed states. In addition their hair and clothes were meant to appear as if underwater. Some of these characters were entirely digital throughout the movie, while for the more hero characters, actors were filmed with tight fitting costumes and close cropped hair. MPC closely rotoanimated the actors and created digital doubles of each, with maimed parts and resimmed hair and clothes.Salazar has thousands of hairs that needed to collide, interact and be directable. MPCs RnD team developed tools that allowed the animators to have control over the performance of the hair, whilst at the same time running physics simulations to keep it feeling natural.The second challenge was to augment the practical make up and extend it to include a giant hole on the left side of his head. His eyes were also given a ghostly texture and pattern.

Check out the Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales concept art below. The film is currently in theaters.

Heres the official synopsis for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales:

Johnny Depp returns to the big screen as the iconic, swashbuckling anti-hero Jack Sparrow in the all-new Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, a rip-roaring adventure that finds down-on-his-luck Captain Jack feeling the winds of ill-fortune blowing strongly his way when deadly ghost sailors, led by the terrifying Captain Salazar, escape from the Devils Triangle bent on killing every pirate at seanotably Jack.

From the Caribbean: The Truth About Venezuela – teleSUR English

Posted: at 6:37 am

Last week, the government of Donald Trump has executed a media strategy of intimidation, manipulation and political plunder against the Venezuelan people, instructing its diplomatic representatives to publish in unison a campaign of lies in the regional media to attack democracy and the legitimate, elected government of Venezuela.

OPINION:

CARICOM Deals a Blow to US Plans for Regime Change in Venezuela

In Barbados, the U.S. ambassador to the Eastern Caribbean has published an article riddled with falsehoods in The Nation, Barbados Today and Barbados Advocate, the sole function of which is to try to generate an international media smear campaign against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, the American governments obsession since the very beginning of the government of ex-President Hugo Chavez in 1999.

This new offensive unveils what has been the United States of Americas foreign policy towards Venezuela in the last 18 years. They have not ceased their attempt to appropriate the riches of Venezuela by any means. They have used all possible means for this - from coups d'tat to economic sabotage and media attacks - and now they are trying to manipulate and blackmail the peoples and governments of the region.

The government of Donald Trump and his representatives must know that the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is a free, sovereign and independent country that in the last 18 years - inspired by the teachings of Simon Bolivar and under the leadership of Commander Hugo Chavez and President Nicolas Maduro - has increased its Human Development Index with the implementation of an ethical, political, economic, social, cultural, educational and sports projects that today proudly shows its achievements and advances, despite the persistent attack that the Government of the North has taken up against Venezuela.

The U.S. government lacks any morals to criticize and try to protect any country because in their own nation they permanently violate the human rights of a good part of its population, especially Afro-descendants, Latinos, and Indians. According to figures from Amnesty International Report 2016-2017, at least 1,000 people died at the hands of the police during that period (according to what they were able to obtain in the press because the U.S. government does not release the figures), and a "disproportionate amount corresponded to black men."

We speak of the government of a country that a few weeks ago boasted of having launched the "mother of all bombs", which has military bases and war fronts in much of the planet, a country where racial and hate crimes have shot up since the election of Mr. Trump, who ordered the construction of a wall on the border with Mexico and who has planned to detain and quickly deport between 2 and 3 million immigrants. These and other issues should be dealt with by the U.S. government.

The institutions in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela are solid and independent. In Venezuela, for example, the judges of the Supreme Court of Justice, the Attorney General, the Ombudsman and the authorities of the electoral body are chosen after a strict evaluation system in which citizens are directly involved, and their removal is also a process which must be approved by powers other than the Executive branch. Could we say the same of the U.S.? "Trump removed the Attorney General for opposing the anti-immigration decree", "Trump chooses textualist Neil Gorsuch as the new Supreme Court magistrate", are just two headlines in the international press which explain how the representatives of those powers are selected and removed in that country.

Venezuela has a proven democratic system: 20 elections have been held in the last 16 years, which is an average of more than one election per year. A striking fact is that the opposition has never recognized the electoral arbitrator (National Electoral Council), or the election results when they were not in their favor. To understand the absurdity of this behavior, it is the same electoral arbitrator who has validated the triumph of Governors and Mayors of the opposition on different occasions, and that only in December 2015 certified the opposition triumph in the Parliamentary elections. Will the U.S. government have any morals to criticize democracy in Venezuela, since in that country they have such an undemocratic system in which the one who draws the least votes can win the presidency, as was the case with Mr. Trump?

Mr. Trump and his diplomats in the region should also look at child poverty rates. According to UNICEF, child poverty in the United States is among the highest in developed countries at 23.1 percent. Could we then say that there is a humanitarian crisis in the United States? Mr. Trump and his diplomacy should worry about stopping the suffering of their people and not, on the contrary, increasing it by eliminating the Obamacare health assistance program, which will leave more than 30 million Americans uncovered.

Faced with this panorama of inequality in the United States that the mainstream media often hide, Venezuela has just been certified by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) as the country with the least inequality in the continent, with a rate of 0.381; according to the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) 2015 report, Venezuela has 6 percent unemployment, well below the vast majority of Latin American countries; the United Nations UNDATA report notes that Venezuela had 89 percent urbanization between 2014 and 2015, one of the highest in the region; in terms of university studies, the same UNDATA report establishes that Venezuela has 83 percent university enrollment; finally, the UNDP ranks Venezuela 71st in the Human Development Index.

OPINION:

Caribbean People do not Need Instruction from US on Venezuela Crisis

We must also point out to Mr. Trump and his diplomacy in the region that the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela establishes - in its article 348 - that the President of the Republic has the right to convene a National Constituent Assembly, that the call made by the Venezuelan Head of State represents a constitutional, democratic, peaceful and electoral mechanism, and the opportunity that the Venezuelan people have to redefine some aspects of our Constitution that guarantee peace, as well as the consolidation of the values of justice, sovereignty and identity.

These aspects are substantive for a government, such as the government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, that is concerned about the happiness of its people and the guarantee of peace in the region. The weapons of our people are their ideas, their faith, their love for their neighbor, their dedication to collective work, the Homeland, solidarity with our Caribbean and Latin American brothers, a very different attitude to the war, genocide and coups d'tat which U.S. governments have been pushing for decades in our region and the world.

Venezuela banner of struggle will always be truth and peace. Against this, their campaigns of lies and defamation cannot win. As our Liberator Simon Bolivar from the Americas said, "Because I love freedom, I have noble and liberal sentiments; and if I tend to be severe, it is only with those who seek to destroy us."

Royal Caribbean to launch new Quantum-class ship for China – Star2.com

Posted: at 6:37 am

China is getting another behemoth cruise liner built specifically to cater to Chinese travellers that will set sail in 2019. Royal Caribbean has announced plans to build a new Quantum Ultra-class ship specifically for the Asia-Pacific region.

The yet-to-be-named ship is touted as one of the most technologically advanced cruise ships that will feature new and cutting-edge experiences.

Cruise brands have been increasingly turning their sights towards Asia to meet rising demand from the fastest-growing market in the world.

This summer, the Norwegian Joy will lift anchor for the first time as the brands first purpose-built ship for the Chinese market.

Pitched as a first-class experience at sea, the ship will feature casinos, an open-air laser tag course, thrill rides, multi-story waterslides, and the industrys first Ferrari-branded racetrack at sea.

Likewise, Carnival also commissioned Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri to build two liners tailored specifically for the Chinese market in a US$1.5bil (RM6.43bil) deal that was inked earlier this year.

Meanwhile, along with announcing plans for a new Quantum-class ship for China, Royal Caribbean also unveiled their 2018-2019 itineraries for Asia-Pacific, that include seven-night sailings to Japan, along with trips focused on New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam. AFP Relaxnews
