HONDURAS VS. BELIZE 1 - 0
B. Beckeles 67' 1 - 0
After Panama defeated Guatemala for fifth place today, then Honduras vs. Belize took the field in the first of two semifinals matches. Belize, however, couldn't land a goal. Final score in that match was 1-0. Honduras' game winning goal came from Brayan Beckeles at the sixty-seven minute mark today. Honduras advanced to the finals while Belize headed to the third place match.
Yes we won !!! might not have the number of goals wanted ....but we won...the whole nation was watching and cheering for our National Team ...We came together as a country !! I am proud ...all of Belize is proud...Yes We Won.....Blessings....
FFB: "A Respectable Loss"
Tonight, football fans and Belizeans generally may be a little downcast because of this evening's loss to Honduras one-nil in the final of the Copa Centroamericana. But football experts agree, it was a very respectable loss. Belize was a decided underdog against a world class Honduran team which was better conditioned, more experienced and more patient. And even with all that - they only scored a single goal in the 67th minute in a game they had to win. We asked Marlon Kuylen (quee-lyn) of the FFB executive for his post mortem on the game:..
Marlon Kuylen
"The team played very well. Honduras as you know is a very experienced team, they are the defending champions on this tournament, they are a World Cup qualifying - they are playing to go to the next World Cup. Our showing was impressive. The Honduras team as I said are professionals, their patience paid off, they are experience and there were some fatigue on our part."
Daniel Ortiz
"While the country was looking at the game hoping for a Hail Mary, there were some that said that they predicted that we would have lost. How do you respond to them in light of the performance from the National Team?"
"This 1-0 loss is a very respectable loss. Most people thought that we would get blown-out. In fact they though so when we went into the tournament. It's a very respectable loss, we've done very well. It's not over yet, we will play for the third place match on Sunday and kudos to the Belize team."
"Sir, what's the competition going to be like for that third place game? We have the next two teams who are going to match up. Tell us about each team if they should have to face us in a third place game."
"We already tested Costa Rica and you know we loss 1-0 in that match. My prediction is that Costa Rica will go all the way. I think we will face Salvador which I think will be a easier opponent for us because of the size. Our team is bigger than theirs."
As he mentioned, Belize now prepares for the third place game which will be played on Sunday afternoon against either El Salvador or Costa Rica - which you can see live right here on Channel 7.
After that match, the National Team returns to Belize on Monday at around 4 p.m.
They will get a hero's welcome home because Football Federation of Belize has organized a motorcade from Brodies on the Northern Highway, where they will travel down Central American Boulevard, down Cemetery Road to Albert Street, and they end at the Yabra Field. We'll have coverage on Monday.
Honduras advances to UNCAF final
Defending champion Honduras edged upstart Belize, 1-0, Friday night in the semifinals of the UNCAF Copa Centroamericana to earn a place in the championship match against the winner of the late match between host Costa Rica and El Salvador.
The teams played through an extremely active, but scoreless, first half in which the chances came frequently and were evenly divided. Top-notch goalkeeping from Belizean Woodrow West and his Honduran opposite number Donis Escober denied multiple scoring opportunities.
The proceedings became increasingly tense as the second half got underway, with both squads aware that a trip to the final was on the line.
Honduras came close several times through the pairing of U.S.-based attackers Oscar Boniek Garcia and Jerry Bengtson. But it was Belize with the clearest chance of the second half's early going, when right back Evan Mariano tried his luck from distance, only to miss just wide.
The Catrachos finally broke through in the 67th minute, as rambling right back Bryan Beckeles got up the field and into the Belizean area, where he rifled a shot past West for the 1-0 advantage. It was the 27-year-old's first international goal, though, he has scored twice in the CONCACAF Champions League for Olimpia.
Belize continued to attack bravely and had its best minutes in the late going, when Elroy Smith curled in a free kick that was narrowly cleared out for a corner by the Honduran defense.
Despite the Belizean pressure, Honduras managed to hang on for a narrow victory.
The Hondurans head into Sunday's final unbeaten in their last eight Copa Centroamericana games and have conceded one goal or less in their last 14 outings in the competition.
After not playing a game in 2012, Belize will contest its fifth in 10 days in the third-place match, also on Sunday.
Sports Commentary: Belize's performance against Honduras
By Wellington C. Ramos
I was anxious to watch the game between Belize and Honduras, who are competing for the Central American Cup. By the time I got to see the game, it was about ten minutes in the second half. Honduras were playing quality football, with teamwork, ball control, passing to their teammates, avoiding turnovers, shooting and creating opportunities to score goals. Belize on the other hand were playing too much of a defensive game.
Born in Dangriga Town, the cultural capital of Belize, Wellington Ramos is a former Belize national team player Their defence was stuck in the goal area, putting a lot of pressure on themselves, the goal keeper and blocking his view on several occasions from seeing the players. There was a free kick and one of the Belizean players in the wall, turned his back to the kicker and opened up the wall. Luckily, the goalkeeper was good and he saved the ball. I was not impressed with the way Belize were playing and I felt that they were going to lose the game.
The defensive players did not play Honduras a midfield game to run out of the goal area whenever they had an opportunity. This gave the Honduran players enough space to knock the ball around the Belizean players as if it was a practice match and that they did well. The Belize midfielders were not even playing midfield and spent a lot of time hanging around with the defence in the goal area, causing congestion and confusion. Their opponents were not attacked when they had possession of the ball because the Belizean players were too far away from them.
It was only going to be a matter of time before Honduras were going to score a goal because the ball was mostly in the Belize goal area throughout the entire second half. Eventually, one of the Honduran players got a pass and he kicked it hard into the goal and he was not attacked by the Belizean player who was close to him and the shot scored. That goal could have been avoided because the defence just stood there and did nothing. Plus, even when the goalkeeper jumped for the ball, it passed his hands closely. I do not believe that the coach of the Belizean team told the Belizean players to play the way they did because that game's performance was poor.
Belize will not go to the finals because they lost this game but they need to watch the video of the game so that they can see how terribly they performed. I believe that whatever sport a player plays, he or she should give the game their 100%. The goalkeeper was playing his best but the others did not play as if they wanted to win. In the whole second half that I watched, Belize only took about two shots on goal against the Honduran goalkeeper. The best shot was taken by Mariano and if that ball had gone a little bit more to the left that was definitely going to be a goal. The next time Belize play any team, they need to play midfield football against the team.
The sweeper should bring up his defence to the midfield line throughout the entire game. That will reduce the space for the other team to be knocking the ball around them and it will become a man to man match. Belize will also put the pressure on the opposing team which will give them more chances to score goals. Some of the Belizean players look fit and young and can outrun those Honduran players and could have won that game. Belize had no offence that posed any threat to the Honduran team.
The way they played, it was a game that favoured Honduras from the beginning. If Mariano, Roches and McAuley were playing forward with an excellent centre midfielder, with this type of football strategy, the Belize national team would have been a force to reckon with. Belize can find those midfielders in our country because I know they have them.
Still, I am beginning to see some progress with football in our country and I will do anything to see that football in Belize advances to its highest level. We are coming a long way from where we were and I am asking all of our people to support our football team. Football is the number one sport in the world and it will bring a lot of publicity and money to our country. Pretty soon Belize will be playing in the World Cup and I will live to see that day as a former football player and a proud Belizean citizen.

New engineering and environmental studies facilities will support innovative research that benefits society ›
New engineering and environmental studies facilities will support innovative research that benefits society
Thursday, Sep 9, 2021
by the Office of Communications
Princeton will build a new home for Environmental Studies and the School of Engineering and Applied Science to support breakthrough teaching and research in the service of humanity. The buildings will be terraced into the hillside between Prospect Avenue and Ivy Lane. This architect's rendering shows the west entrance of the proposed complex.

From addressing climate change to developing new ways of delivering vaccines, Princeton's proposed engineering and environmental studies project will enable breakthrough teaching and research in the service of humanity while enhancing the public experience of the surrounding neighborhood.
The University plans to build a new home for Environmental Studies (ES) and the School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) between Ivy Lane and Prospect Avenue. The four buildings — environmental science, bioengineering, chemical and biological engineering, and an engineering commons — will create a new ES + SEAS neighborhood carefully integrated into the surrounding landscape with strong connections to outdoor spaces.
The buildings will include state-of-the-art teaching, research and collaboration facilities for seven academic departments, institutes and centers.
The four buildings — environmental science, bioengineering, chemical and biological engineering, and an engineering commons — will create a new ES + SEAS neighborhood carefully integrated into the surrounding landscape with strong connections to outdoor spaces. This rendering shows an aerial view of the proposed buildings, which will create a neighborhood that more closely connects engineering and environmental studies with the rest of campus to foster collaboration with the natural sciences, humanities, public policy and other disciplines. Image courtesy of Ennead Architects LLP/bloomimages
SEAS Dean Andrea Goldsmith said the new facilities are essential to conducting research that has tremendous benefits to human health and society — including work addressing climate change and carbon sequestration, new pharmaceuticals and vaccines, better processes for the production of new materials, and greater energy efficiency. The new buildings also will further environmental science studies that are crucial to learning about and mitigating global challenges related to biodiversity, conservation, climate, energy, and environmental policy.
"We are at a point where the current facilities for engineering are 60 years old. They are no longer sufficient to do the groundbreaking research that we want to accomplish," said Goldsmith, the Arthur LeGrand Doty Professor of Electrical Engineering. "The reason that Princeton Engineering needs to grow is that engineering has changed. In the last decades, engineering has become much more interdisciplinary. It is solving much more complex problems that require a broader set of expertise, of disciplinary and interdisciplinary expertise."
Goldsmith said that the neighborhood's central location is critical to convene expertise across the sciences, humanities and public policy. "All the richness of ideas we need to solve the problems we face. This project is really about maximizing our impact and delivering on Princeton's motto to benefit humanity, through engineering and technology," she added.
The project reflects the importance of environmental studies and engineering in a 21st century liberal arts university. The buildings will create a neighborhood that more closely connects engineering and environmental studies with the rest of the University's campus, including the new home for the Department of Computer Science.
The proximity of key collaborators in different departments also amplifies connections between the growing fields of bioengineering, data science and environmental research and creates a center of gravity for convening diverse experts and innovators across and beyond the University to address critical societal needs.
"It is really designed around connectivity," said University Architect Ronald McCoy. The new buildings, all connected underground in one continuous sequence, will maintain distinct identities for disciplines while allowing for strong connections among them.
"When we spoke to the faculty they were really clear: 'We need better space and we need more of it.' These are state-of-the-art, flexible, and highly functional teaching and research spaces," McCoy said.
Athanassios (Thanos) Panagiotopoulos, chair of the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, said the new teaching, research, lab and collaboration spaces are "absolutely critical to the mission of the University to serve society by addressing urgent needs."
"Our department's work is about mitigating climate change, creating new chemical processes that will allow us to replace fossil fuels with renewables, and giving us the tools to address public health and wellbeing," said Panagiotopoulos, the Susan Dod Brown Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering. "The technologies that enable the Covid vaccines to become quickly, widely and safely available -- the ability to protect those tiny mRNA packages – uses technology that chemical engineers have developed."
The ES + SEAS project is also a model of the University's sustainability ethos. The complex meets or exceeds Princeton sustainability standards and will seek LEED certification. It will feature geo-exchange heating and cooling, a green roof, high performance exteriors, rainwater harvesting and sustainable materials.
The design also reflects the University's strong commitment to being a steward of buildings and landscapes while pursuing critical opportunities for innovation, creativity and benefit to society.
The buildings will be terraced into the hillside between Prospect Avenue and Ivy Lane currently occupied by faculty and staff housing and parking lots behind eating club buildings. As part of the project's careful, thoughtful planning and design process, the University is planning to relocate the Office of the Dean for Research building at 91 Prospect Avenue to across the street, allowing for it to remain part of a vibrant Prospect Avenue.
The neighborhood will include sunken courtyards and extensive pedestrian paths and outdoor spaces for the public and community. The complex also includes public display spaces for interaction with school groups and the community, as well as lecture halls for public outreach and engagement.

Badgers are animals that live in burrows (called setts). But what do badgers eat? This post will answer that question and also tell you a few interesting facts about badgers.
American badgers are fossorial carnivores. This means that they dig to catch their prey. They like eating rodents, insects and small mammals. They also eat some fruit. Eurasian badgers love to eat earthworms, insects and grubs. They also like to eat some small mammals, birds and reptiles. They occasionally eat cereals, plant roots and fruit. Honey badgers (which live in Africa) eat honey, porcupines and venomous snakes (like puff adders).
Some badgers become intoxicated (drunk) after eating rotting fruit!
The badger is the state animal on Wisconsin.
Badgers were eaten by Native Americans and the early white colonists of America. They were also eaten in Britain during World War II and the 1950′s.
Badger hair is used for paint brushes.
Badgers can run at up to 30km/h (19mph) for very short periods of time.
North American Badgers and Coyotes have been observed hunting together!
A male badger is called a 'boar' and a female badger is called a 'sow'.

When Oliver Stone was about to shoot, "The Doors", he paid a visit to the Admiral in an attempt to gain some insight into Jim through the eyes of the rock 'n' roll icon's parents. After the visit, Stone would say that the Admiral did not seem to know who his son really was. This was particularly true, for Stone knew the Jim Morrison of "No One Here Gets Out Alive" fame and virtually nothing about Jim's younger life.
The Admiral knew all about his first born son, but knew absolutely nothing about The Lizard King. He was, however, sure of one thing that few people knew: Jim had inherited a severe case of stubbornness from his mother, Clara, who never backed down, never gave up, and never asked more than once. Many people have tried to ingratiate themselves with the Morrison clan by claiming they hold letters written by Jim or last messages to be delivered only after his death – all of which have proven to be counterfeit.
This seemingly callous and disinterested response to his son's alleged cry for help was an astute analysis of the woman's weak endeavor to curry favor with the family or to ally them to "Help Jim".
The flaw in this plot to cajole is revealed by the contents of the counterfeit message.
Jim Morrison would never ask for help from his father or, for that matter, from anyone.
Jim knew that he couldn't put the genie back into the bottle, which meant he couldn't stand before his father and admit that he needed help and, in turn, the Admiral couldn't ask Jim if he needed any help.
Father and son – unable to reach out to each other in the living years.
spoken by Horatio in Shakespeare's Hamlet.

C7S12CD11 This CD says "featuring Brian Kennedy" on a sticker on the case and also on the front cover so the first thing I'll say is I guess this album features Brian Kennedy!
This album didn't get to recognition it deserved as it is a little gem and still stands the test of time. I can't believe this album is 20 years old it's fresh, lyrically clever and at 10 songs (39 minutes) long just the perfect left for an album. No filler just 10 well crafted pop songs.
Stand out tracks are the opening Dangerous, I Know Why The Willow Weeps and Fear Is The Enemy Of Love but as I write this I look at the track listing and want to add more tracks. Nevin is truly a talented songwriter and along with Gary Clark (Danny Wilson, King L) and Boo Hewerdine (The Bible) never really got the fame or success that they deserved.
Brian Kennedy has gone on to release a number of successful albums, and tour on a regular basis. (I think he even sang at George Best's funeral) Nevins career seems to have drifted after this looking at Wikipedia he released a couple of albums in his own name and has a new album out in May, which is hardly a prolific output for 20 years! What I know is that in 1991 two talents guys got together and made one hell of an album.

Chilling Caltrans video reveals why CA Grapevine needs runaway truck ramps
If you've ever been curious about the presence of runaway truck ramps on California's Grapevine Grade, this video demonstrates the fact that they are there for a very good reason! A quick thinking semi driver takes one of these ramps, removing a grave danger from other drivers, and himself.
Runaway truck ramps provide a safety net for trucks traveling at high speeds with heavy loads and occasionally experience brake failure. These ramps reply on the additional friction created by sand and gravel and are built on an incline designed to help slow down vehicles through the use of gravity.
Drivers familiar with US 99, now I-5, may be familiar with the Grapevine, which has been a fixture on the Ridge Route since 1915. This 40-mile stretch of highway between Los Angeles and Kern Counties brings to mind images of zigzagging stretches of highway nestled along the mountains that sit at the edge of the Golden State Freeway. The Grapevine earned its name for itself from its resemblance to a grapevine, winding through the contours of a picturesque mountain backdrop.
According to the California Department of Transport, the Grapevine begins in Fort Tejon, and those first five miles include a dramatic 6% downhill grade that ends at the mouth of the San Joaquin Valley. This portion of the Grapevine is the steepest, most twisting, winding and rambling portion and is nestled in rugged mountain terrain. The full 40 miles of Grapevine were carved from both sides of a mountain canyon, and today, thanks to Caltrans, an eight-lane highway rests there now as a pinnacle of achievement that completely transformed the canyon.
Today, thousands of big rigs move millions of dollars of goods across the Grapevine daily, with big rigs comprising 26% of the Grapevine's traffic. Over 19,000 big rigs a day experience a unique drive on what is considered by experts as the backbone of California's state highway system.
Check out the video from Caltrans HQ below, and share if you like it.
If you've ever driven through hilly or mountainous terrain you've surely seen runaway truck ramps leading away from the road. If you've ever been curious why and when they're needed, heres the answer.

PWC* (international accountants nee Price Waterhouse Coopers) forecasts a flat year for UK hotel deals – although it reports growth, and its figures show a fall! For 2018, it reports US$8.57bn (at US$1 to £0.77) +36%, and it forecasts (apparently for this year) +10% to US$7.79bn.
Clearly, because figures can vary so much in one year – sometimes due to special cases – the industry should follow what some in the MICE industry, and we, do. That is to calculate growth in 5-year averages – to balance out distortions caused by unusually-big or -small deals in one year.
-Forecasts London occupancy growth +0.3%, ARR (average room rate) +1.4% for the next two years, taking it to US$196 +1.3% this year and US$199 +1.3% in 2020.
-Supply (we believe this data is just London) grew +2% in 2018, and PCW forecasts +4% in London this year.
-Regions (ie, everywhere outside London) occupancy this year -0.1%, ARR +0.5%, taking it to US$95.
-In 2020 it forecasts regions occupancy -0.1%, ARR +0.8%, although it gives the same figure as this year, US$95.

 Global Data forecasts outbound spend of 'Chinese travellers'* will be US$375bn in 2022, from US$244bn in 2018 (and US$295bn in 2020) an +11.3% AAGR (annual average growth rate) and +12.6% 2020-22. For this year it forecasts +9.7% to US$268bn.
*Notes: We presume GD is forecasting for all residents in China not just China nationals or ethnic Chinese.
-Total nationals (thus excluding non-citizen residents) 93.0mn +6.1%.
-North America (Canada, Mexico) 51.3mn +3.8%.
-Overseas 41.8mn +9.0%. Shares: Europe 19% +1pt; change not given for rest – Asia 7%, Middle East 3%.
-2017 hotels 63,616, a +4.8% AAGR (annual average growth rate) over 2013-17.
-Forecasts 81,234 in 2022, a 5.0% AAGR (which calculates to the period 2017-22).
-RM gives fastest category growth without actual totals, reducing the value of that information. It reports a +6.8% AAGR, fastest, for luxury hotels over 2013-17, and +4.2% for midscale, slowest.
-2017 hotels 188,898, a +0.7% AAGR over 2013-17.
-Forecasts 204,925 in 2022, a 1.6% AAGR (again which calculates to the period 2017-22).
-Category growth, also without totals – a +3.3% AAGR, the fastest, for luxury hotels over 2013-17, and +0.2% for budget, slowest.
*Notes: We have run many critical reviews on RM reports, and we advise users to treat its findings with caution – most apparently due to imprecision in its editorial commentary. At press time, RM had not answered our request for clarifications.

NVTT (Net Value Travel Tech) Stocks Index: 128; previous month 124.
Stockmarkets. Biggest growth India +8%; biggest fall Istanbul -10%. Previous month: biggest growth Shanghai +12%; biggest fall India -2%.
-Airlines are still performing badly. Of the 14 in AsPac, 8 are falling; in Europe 10 9 (the other was unchanged); US 7 6. And, unusually, hotels were almost as bad as airlines: AsPac 6 4 (plus one unchanged); Europe 5 3; US 9 7.
-India's Jet Airways was top-growth airline following speculation of an ownership change, although it may also be shut down. Remarkably, it is the third of Etihad-owned airlines to fall into financial trouble. Its Air Berlin has shut down, and Alitalia is in bankruptcy. Despite that growth, Jet's current price is -3% down on its end-2018 price.
-Strangely, the airline at the bottom of the table, Norwegian, was also surrounded by takeover and shutdown speculation.
-Another airline with strong growth was Air China +14%.
-Also falling big were ICAG (International Consolidated Airlines Group; AerLingus British Iberia Vueling, plus) -15%, and SAS -20%. We still think SAS's survival is in question – although we have been expecting that for a decade.
-We have noticed sizeable monthly fluctuations in travel-tech shares (although our NVTT Index was up slightly). Does this mean that the investment community still cannot easily determine what may be good or bad news?
-Boeing's price was -13%, fallout from the grounding of its B737max aircraft.
Info from Travel Business Analyst. Details in next month's editions of WYSK: What-You-Should-Know, published by Travel Business Analyst.
I thought I had seen many beautiful islands in my world travels, until I arrived in the Palawan archipelago.
Palawan's endless coastlines, landscapes and seascapes are straight out of National Geographic spread. It feels like I entered a geological wonderland with stunning topography everywhere. Travelling along the coastline, the visual panoramas of karst limestone islands carpeted in lush greenery jutting out vertically from the seas is awe-inspiring.
Palawan is a terrestrial and marine treasure trove of the most bio-diverse islands in the Philippines. The island has had a Biosphere Reserve status since the early 1990s. With a farsighted former local mayor, Edward Hagedorn, who initiated and created blueprints for their conservation and sustainable development, most locals we met are well-versed in environmental preservation.
Palawan is an elongated island province southwest Philippines, in the Mimaropa region. It is the largest province in the country in terms of total area of jurisdiction. Its capital is Puerto Princesa, but it is governed independently from the province.
The islands of Palawan stretch between Mindoro in the northeast and Borneo in the southwest. The province is named after its largest island, Palawan Island, measuring 450km long and 50km wide. Palawan, the least populated province in Philippines, consists of 431 districts (barangays) in 23 municipalities and the capital of Puerto Princesa.
Palawan is also the largest supplier of fish to the country.
Landing in the capital, Puerto Princesa, was a welcome break after hectic Manila. It is the only urbanised centre in the low-density province, with low-rise buildings and an unhurried pace, retaining an old world charm.
With Puerto Princesa City included for geographical purposes, the province's land area is 17,030sq km.
The province also represents a significant habitat for bio-diversity conservation. The area contains a full mountain to the sea ecosystem and protects forests.
Pristine lagoons with serene turquoise-green waters, sparkling sea, emerald islets, hidden beaches, caves with unique formations, mountain ranges shrouded in mist, and a diverse variety of wildlife, many special to the islands. To many, this must be paradise on earth.
Researchers found evidence in Tabon Caves that man, along with his tools and artifacts, has continuously lived in Palawan for more than 50,000 years. They also found bone fragments, named the Tabon Man in the municipality of Quezon. Although the origin of the cave dwellers is not yet established, anthropologists believe they came from Borneo. It is known as the cradle of Philippine civilisation.
We visited a Batak village (highland tribes), and saw an interesting family performing a tribal dance. I believe their dances and culture are similar to the Bataks I have met in the Lake Toba region of Sumatra, Indonesia.
I bought some handwoven Batak baskets, which now adorn my desk.
Many of the tourist attractions are community-based projects employing locals and their families. Partly because Palawan does not have an advanced infrastructure and access, it also does not have some of the less-attractive aspects of big-numbers tourism.
For instance, I did not see large groups of tourists nor overcrowding in their attractions. The pace is laid-back, the locals are friendly and welcoming, sometimes breaking into a song after only little encouragement. Filipinos love to sing, and seem to be born with natural talents for music and dance.
This park has a spectacular limestones karst landscape with a long navigable underground river. The lower section of the river is subject to tidal influences, so those planning to take the tour should check with the coastguard for weather conditions. Especially for those who get seasick easily and not keen to be tossed around in a kayak.
The river ride consists of a motorised boat then transfer onto a kayak. The cave's ceiling seems like nature has created and produced a sci-fi movie landscape, with fantastic shaped rocks, gigantic mushrooms looming above.
A short and scenic boat ride takes the visitor from the Wharf to Cowrie Island where you can snorkel, swim and laze around amid coconut trees. Lunch was a buffet smorgasbord of Filipino seafood, rice and sinigang soup, zinging with sour tamarind and spicy chilies.
Then another short boat ride to Pandan island. There is a family selling their fresh catch of seafood in giant sizes, displayed on a wooden stall. Visitors can have an amazing grilled seafood lunch with big crabs, squids, prawns for five for less than US$15. By big-city standards, this is a feast and a great-value deal.
Everything seems cheap converted from Filipino pesos to US$. There is a bazaar-like market where one can buy local handicrafts, dried mangoes, pearls, colourful clothing, and souvenir T-shirts. My favourite buys are dried mangoes, strands of pearls, beautiful woven handbags, and handcrafted leather bracelets.
At the entry, a large crocodile skeleton welcomes you. Visitors can walk over a metal bridge over a crocodile farm to see dozens of crocodiles lying on top, motionless for a long time.
The action starts when one crocodile from under the pile starts to move, the rest untangle themselves from the jam and scramble around. Fascinating but scary too if you imagine falling into the crocodile pits.
Arrived on a windswept day in this almost deserted beach with undulating hills on east side and a splendid sea view on other. Activities available include cave climbing. The community guide may be an elderly white hair auntie outpacing you in stamina.
This is one of the most unusual tours we have done. There is something special about being in a kayak watching the luminous fireflies emitting their bioluminescence in the silence of a moonlit night.
We had the incredible luck of a magical full moon and a knowledgeable guide – a combination of astronomer, botanist, etymologist. He held us enthralled in our canoe, pointing his laser beam light towards the sky and share insights of the constellations, etc.
Once when we were strolling in Puerto Princesa Chinatown, I saw our local guide's wallet and phone sticking out of his back pockets. I told him he would be a target of pickpockets. He proudly told me "This is Palawan, we don't worry. "There is zero crime here." Certainly not zero, but unusually low.

 Research by Phocuswright (PCW) found that the top-3 reasons travellers book trip activities in advance are: they wanted to book all activities in advance, 36%; easier to book online than in destination, 15%; less costly to book online, 12%.
In addition, important 'trip-driver' activities are most likely to be purchased before flight or hotels are booked. 37% who attended a sporting event and 32% who visited an amusement or theme park purchased the activity before transportation or lodging.
-That outlook for hotels in Kuala Lumpur is not good – although it does not make any forecast. Among the indicators: Jan-Feb occupancy (-7.4% to 63.4%), ARR (average room rate) -3.9% to US$81 (MR330.85); Lunar New Year occupancy (66.9%) -20.7% against LNY 2018; supply was +5.6% through February, presumed over Feb 18.
-On Middle East hotels in February: occupancy +3.3% to 72.2%, ARR -6.3% to US$150.13.
-On US hotels 10-16 March: occupancy -0.9% to 70.2%, ARR +0.6% to US$134.50.
Global Data* forecasts that outbound trips from Italy will be 36.2mn in 2022, a +2.6% AAGR (annual average growth rate; we calculate +2.7%) from 32.6mn in 2018 (and 34.5mn in 2020).
-Growth in 'low cost airlines, which reduce travel costs'. But these, particularly Ryanair, have been around for 20 years, and there has even been a fall in recent months (of lower-fare airlines), although countered by a bankrupt Alitalia lowering its fares to bring any money in.
-'An overwhelming interest' for travel and different experiences. No comment, although we do not understand 'overwhelming' in this context. More than the market can handle?
-GD says the two main factors for decision-making for holidays are 'affordability and accessibility', and that both have been 'boosted' by airline competition.
-GD forecasts domestic trips will fall over 2020-22, but gives no data apart from adding that that the total number has been near double arrivals in the past decade. Our database indicates just over 60mn arrivals in Italy in 2018, which would mean GD is working on 120mn domestic 'arrivals' (arrival counts are made in different categories, so it is not possible to be more specific on this; we have no data but Germany, for example, is about 150mn).
-GD notes that this fall is 'potentially due' to issues such as 'overtourism' in Italy, 'causing' Italians (and presumably non-Italian residents) to travel internationally.
-GD says local visitor boards in Italy should introduce 'specific' (special) deals and incentives to 'maintain [the travellers'] interest'. Presumably, though, this would worsen the 'overtourism' that GD reports is causing a fall?
-Growth in income for younger travellers. We are not qualified to comment on that.
-We have found in other reports that GD sometimes misreads/misinterprets/misreports core travel data.
-At press time, GD had not answered our request for clarifications.
-69% of international travellers regard environmental protection as a 'very important topic'. Germans* 74%, Spanish 73%, Chinese 88%, rate themselves highly as regards environmental awareness.
-54% said that they had been unhappy about the large number of (other) visitors in their destinations, particularly Chinese 84%, French 61%, Germans 60%.
-55% said they would choose a different destination if there were fewer tourists; 72% for Chinese. This is the type of bizarre/unrealistic responses that survey-participants have. Because if that complaining-55% did not go to those destinations, there would be fewer visitors there. They want others to make the sacrifice that they themselves are not willing to make.
-76% of German holidaymakers would be willing to spend an additional US$110-340 (at US$1 to €0.89), and 20% would pay US$560 more for a 1-week holiday trip – in order to encounter fewer (other) visitors.
-We feel (with no statistical/survey support) that not only is this not true (they would not pay more than US$20 to reduce numbers (by how many? who gets the money?). In addition, that they could easily pay more either on their trip or to take another, and encounter fewer other travellers – by taking a personalised tour of Angkor Wat for example.
*Notes: We do not know if this, and others in this section, is for all residents in Germany (or other nationalities stated here), or just German nationals in Germany – and Germans in other countries?
-52% think Chinese travellers would spend 'more than' US$1600 (Y10,000) on each adventure trip. Using 'more' is disingenuous, and useless in such a survey. To explain, US$1mn is 'more than' Y10,000, and which ITBC therefore tells us China travellers are willing to spend – which is obviously not true. We presume ITBC means 'as much as Y10,000'.
-75% considered customised and personalised travel experiences to be in high demand for adventure travel.
-80% agree that adventure travel is a travel category that appeals most strongly to Chinese born in the 1980s and 1990s.
-most important aspects are safety 30%, local activities 26%, scenery 17%.

 ARC (the Airlines Reporting Corporation, handling financial settlements between US-based travel agencies and airlines), reports for February: air tickets sold US $8.3bn +2.8%; average US roundtrip ticket US$486 flat; passenger trips 25.9mn +2.1% (domestic -0.3%, international +5%, ARC-rounded); EMD (electronic miscellaneous document) sales US$6.4mn -2%, ARC-rounded; EMD transactions not numbered, -13%, ARC-rounded; online sales growth +9.2%.

 STR (nee Smith Travel Research) reports on US hotels in February: occupancy +0.7% to 62.2%, average room rate +1.9% to US$128.94.
Two new reports from Research & Markets* (RM), a company.
-'Business travel' 37.1mn in 2018, +35.2% over 2014-18. We presume this is business-travel arrivals in the 10 destinations. RM does not clarify, nor give the overall total, nor take account of the different counting methods – most notably between the DMOs of Malaysia and Singapore.
We estimate 133mn total-arrivals in Asean based on counts by DMOs. But 140mn if Singapore followed the same methodology as Malaysia, and 120mn if Malaysia followed the same methodology as Singapore.
-61% of 'tourism' in Asean (we presume international visitor arrivals) is for leisure.
We presume RM means 'low budget' (which, of course, still has no value if not accompanied by a figure). We also presume RM is commenting on prices outside Asean's capitals and other centres – where prices are as high as in other destination regions.
-Outbound trips 18.4mn, forecast to grow 'between 2018 and 2019' (no further clarification) +6.4%.
-Outbound travel spend US$40.8bn +7.1% 2018 over 2017 (note different period than some other categories). Forecasts +15.6% AAGR (annual average growth rate) over 2019-22.
-Domestic trips 166.7mn +3.9%, over '2018 and 2019'.
-'Spanish tourists' spend an average US$212.09 +9.3% (quoted in US$) per domestic trip. We presume this is all domestic travellers, not just Spanish nationals; a Wikipedia report indicates there are about 6mn non-Spanish living in Spain, near-13% of the total.
Period not given; we presume 2018 over 2017. RM compares that Spain domestic-travel total with growth (not dollar counts) in France +3.3%, Germany +4.4%, but gives period of 2017-19 without further clarification.
-Forecasts +10.6% AAGR for outbound air travel over 2016-9.
-Forecasts average trip length 'for the Spanish tourist' to be 10 days in 2022.
*Notes: We have run many critical reports on RM reports, and we advise users to treat its findings with caution – most apparently due to imprecision in its editorial commentary. At press time, RM had not answered our request for clarifications.
-2761 +12% hotels, 580,635 +6% rooms.
-Main cities – Guangzhou 132/28,694, Shanghai 123/25,283, Chengdu 109/23,478, Hangzhou 90/17,978, Suzhou 84/15,436.
-Main companies – Hilton 386/86,880, InterContinental 314/72,758, Jinjiang 288/33,043, Marriott 283/77,340, Accor 186/33,683.
-Of the main brands (may not always be in this position in the total list) – Hampton (Hilton) 194/30,345, DoubleTree (Hilton) 67/19,453, Holiday Inn Express 150/28,257, Holiday Inn 57/15,401, 7 Days (Jinjiang) 121/9541, Vienna (Jinjiang) 83/11,614, Marriott 64/19,463, Courtyard (Marriott) 35/9025, Ibis (Accor) 74/7849, Mercure (Accor) 50/8874.
-813.8mn +5.5% travellers passed through US airport checkpoints in 2018. 4239 firearms were found in carry-on bags – reported as a 'record' but no other data given. Top-3 airports – Atlanta 298 (of which 253 were loaded firearms), Dallas 219 (193), Phoenix 129 (120). As these three total less than 700, the practice is spread wide through the country.
–Airline ancillary revenue* was US$65bn in 2018. CI* are worryingly inconsistent. In 2018, they were reporting US$92.9bn and even US$82.2bn in 2017. CI do not give a growth rate, and so we are unable to analyse further. We presume this new US$65bn figure needs a qualification, and that it is not actually the grand total. In 2014, the global total was US$28.5bn.
-From Car Trawler, Idea Works = CI.
-Ancillary revenue (in the travel business usually used only for airlines although it could be used for other travel sectors) is generated by extra activities and services – for airlines this would be anything in addition to the air fare. Activities for airlines could be commission from hotel bookings, sale of frequent flyer points to partners. A big problem for measurement is that some airlines – usually no-frills-airlines but now often all types of airlines – charge extra for baggage transport and food (= ancillary), and others do not.
-A full report on this topic in our WYSK: What-You-Should-Know monthly-report contains some important additional information, qualification, and analysis.
-Another ITB due to be launched – India, from April 2020 – which will be ITB's 3rd in Asia. We expect its Singapore-based ITB Asia will be recategorised 'Asia Pacific' after this year's event.
-The travel technology segment space at ITBB grew +20%.
-5.5mn Germany residents took at least one cycling trip in 2018. Growth not given but ITBB said this was a record.
-Visa and Oxford Economics, via ITBB, estimate that the worldwide medical tourism business is worth US$100bn and forecast in 2025 it will be 25% higher.
-Travel GDP growth +1% (we assume 1.0) in 2018, below its +6.2% in 2017, and below +3.9% 2018 world average. European Union (which includes UK*) +2.7%. WTTC adds that China was +7.3%, India +6.7%, Thailand +6% (6.0?).
-US$304bn (at US$1 to £0.77) (travel GDP?) in 2018. WTTC reports all other markets (except France) wrongly; we have corrected its data – US is US$156bn, China US$148bn, Japan US$359bn, Germany US$337bn. Below the UK are Italy US$269bn, France US$260bn, Spain US$206bn.
-UK 2018 visitor spend US$36.9bn -9.7%. This indicates that visitor spend represents about 12% of total travel GDP.
-Forecasts 2019 growth +1.4%, compared with world +3.6%, EU +2.4%.
-Travel in 2018 worth US$1595bn +2.2%, 7.8% of GDP.
-'Chinese travel' (we presume WTTC means visitor arrivals in the US from residents in the China mainland, excluding Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan) flat; +23% average annual growth rate over 2008-18.
-Visitors from China 4% share of US visitors, 11% share of visitor spend.
-WTTC (World Travel & Tourism Council), a lobby group for the travel business, has its own methodology for calculating the turnover of the travel business including not just inbound, outbound, and domestic travel, but other industries involved in the business. For instance, if 0.5% of the world's cars go into the car-rental business, that measure would be calculated into the turnover of the overall travel business.
Unfortunately, WTTC is not always clear that its data is related to this grand total, and often its commentary appears to be related to just one sector – often, the inbound visitor business. In addition, it sometimes uses the terms 'travel' or 'tourism' alone; we cannot always determine if these mean something different from 'travel & tourism'.
WTTC's name does not help – the 'TT' is 'travel & tourism', where we would define 'travel' as covering all segments of the travel business, with 'tourism' meaning 'leisure travel' to most observers, just one segment. This means that most people and bodies the WTTC lobbies may think they are discussing just inbound leisure travel.
In addition, the group is so careless in its presentations that the professional observer is sometimes left to guess what WTTC's research shows. We believe its presentations are in contrast with the professionalism of its research.
-At press time, WTTC had not answered our request for clarifications.
-WTTC does not clarify if it includes UK in these EU totals – because the UK is due to leave the EU end-March.
-City 'tourism growth' (we presume bednights in hotels in member cities) +1.9% – domestic +4.0%, international 0.0%. ECM says this is the first time since the 2008 economic crisis that domestic has grown faster. 2012-17 annual average growth rate +4.8%.
-Top performing cities and ranking unchanged – London top even with -8.7%, Paris +8.9%, Berlin +5.2%, Madrid +2.4%, Barcelona +2.7%.
-Main source markets US 12%, Germany 9%, UK 8%. Of the most important source markets, China was fastest +9.2%, US +6% (presumed 6.0), Japan +5.7%, France -2.3%. Italy +1.7%.
-Preliminary data from 58 out of 121 cities, representing 435mn bednights.
-61% said Brexit* was not affecting their 2019 travel plans, while 11% said it was. Brexit has had a greater impact on 17% of British and 15% of European travellers.
-9% of UK travellers said they were less likely to go to Europe in 2019 due to Brexit, and 10% of Europeans said they are less likely to go to the UK.
-38% of Europeans said the Brexit issue had negatively affected their perception of the UK as a visitor destination.
-17% from the rest of the world said they would be less likely to travel to the UK in the future because of Brexit.
–Brexit. Term now used loosely. It originally related to the referendum vote in the UK in June 2016 to leave the European Union, since fixed for March 2019. Some reports are written as though the exit has taken place ('since Brexit'), but which therefore mean since the Brexit vote. But it is now also used to mean the actual exit ('after Brexit'). The word is 'BR' for Great Britain, and 'exit' for that. Technically, then, 'BR' is wrong to describe the UK, whose formal name is the 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland'. That NI is missed out of 'Brexit' is ironic in that NI is one of the three major problems in negotiating the terms of the UK's exit from the EU.
-STR does not clarify if it includes UK in these EU totals – because the UK is due to leave the EU end-March.
Travel stock prices (US, Asia Pacific, Europe) in February. Airlines: biggest growth, China Southern +15%; biggest fall, Norwegian -53% (sic). Hotels: Shangri-La +10%, MGM -10%. Tech: eDreams +9%, Booking -11%. Others: Avis +35%, TUI -32%.
Previous month: Airlines: biggest growth, Southwest +24%; biggest fall, Norwegian -28%. Hotels: Wynn +32%, Shangri-La -12%. Tech: cTrip +25%, Trivago -2%. Others: Boeing +27%, Thomas Cook -5%.
TBA Travel Stocks Index: World 224, Asia Pacific 98, Europe 194, US 380. Index previous month: World 227, Asia Pacific 98, Europe 194, US 388.
NVTT (Net Value Travel Tech) Stocks Index: 124; previous month 125.
Stockmarkets. Biggest growth, Shanghai +12%; biggest fall, India -2%. Previous month: biggest growth Istanbul +12%; biggest fall Kuala Lumpur -0.1%.
-That shocking fall for Norwegian follows a -28% fall in January. It is now 67% below its end-2017 price. Technically, this fall is making it a cheaper buy for an investor. But would an investor be interested if it seems clear the airline's business-model is not working?
-Although TUI fell most among Others, Malaysia's Genting (quoted in Hong Kong) was not far behind, -26%. In fact, a fall for this leisure (include gambling) group, is unusual.
-Also rare to fall is Booking (née Priceline).
-One to watch is ICAG. Although down 'only' 10%, is this Brexit related? With three of its airlines based in the EU, it has British based in soon-to-be non-EU UK. For long ICAG has been saying that there would be no problem. Now, although it is still in partial denial, it is clear that some things will change. All options/changes are worse – if it deems current conditions are good.
-Shangri-La fastest hotel stock this month, but last it fell furthest!

European lawmakers: 'We're not on our own,' despite Trump's siding with Putin
European lawmakers on Monday blasted President Donald Trump for failing to publicly condemn Russian President Vladimir Putin for meddling in democratic elections.
European lawmakers: 'We're not on our own,' despite Trump's siding with Putin European lawmakers on Monday blasted President Donald Trump for failing to publicly condemn Russian President Vladimir Putin for meddling in democratic elections. Check out this story on gosanangelo.com: https://usat.ly/2upNVKw

WASHINGTON – European lawmakers on Monday blasted President Donald Trump for failing to publicly condemn Russian President Vladimir Putin for meddling in democratic elections.
"I think to do as President Trump did today is effectively to say to countries that are victims of this – you're on your own," said Damian Collins, a member of the British House of Commons.
The Europeans were responding to Trump's comments at a Helsinki news conference Monday, where he accepted Putin's denials that the Kremlin interfered with the 2016 U.S. election. The president's stance drew strong condemnation from both Republicans and Democrats in Congress.
"I have great confidence in my intelligence people, but I will tell you that President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today," Trump said at the press conference with Putin. "I have President Putin; he just said it's not Russia. I will say this: I don't see any reason why it would be."
Collins and representatives from parliaments throughout Europe gathered in Washington, D.C., to attend a conference hosted by the Atlantic Council about Russia's widespread attempts to undermine democratic elections in Europe, the U.S. and Canada. The conference was scheduled long before Trump set the date for his meeting with Putin.
In addition to interfering in the U.S. election, Russia interfered in Britain's "Brexit" election, which resulted in the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. And it has been interfering in the elections of former Soviet bloc countries such as Latvia for nearly three decades.
It's so bad in Latvia that Ojars Kalnins, a member of that nation's parliament, said his government has launched a campaign to ensure that young Latvians can speak their native language as well as Russian so that they will be less susceptible to Russian efforts to spread disinformation through social media.
Hanna Hopko, a member of parliament from Ukraine, said she is worried about Russian interference in her nation's presidential and legislative elections next year.
While the Europeans expressed disappointment that Trump did not stand up to Putin, they said they have faith that the U.S. Congress will work with them to help thwart the Kremlin.

(Photo: Chip Somodevilla, Getty Images)
Collins, who is leading a British investigation into Russia's efforts to manipulate social media to influence elections in the United Kingdom, has been sharing information with members of Congress.
He met in February with Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr, R-N.C., and Vice Chairman Mark Warner, D-Va., to learn what they've discovered about Russia's use of Facebook, Twitter and Google to spread disinformation in the 2016 election that Trump won.
"What we need to do is collectively call out Russian activity when we see it," Collins said at a news conference. "It's a real threat ... to our democracies."
Warner and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., reassured lawmakers from the allied nations that Congress supports them.
"The U.S. Congress has always been 100 percent behind the Baltic states," Kalnins said. "What the president says is something separate."
Trump's meetings with NATO allies last week, combined with his summit with Putin on Monday, have sent a mixed message to America's European allies about Russia, Collins said.
He noted that Trump undermined the need for NATO as a deterrence against Russia, criticized Germany for its reliance on Russian energy, and then sided with Putin while denying evidence from his own U.S. intelligence agencies that Russia interfered in the U.S. election.
Collins said legislators from Europe and Canada will keep working with Congress to share information and protect their elections from Russian cyberattacks.
"What we're saying today is we're not on our own," Collins said.

Set in 1969 in the parlor of the Kennedys' Hyannis Port compound a week after Teddy's fateful error on a bridge at Chappaquiddick, "Rose" is the story of the triumphs and sorrows of Rose Fitzpatrick Kennedy, her family, her husband, and her nine children, as told by the matriarch herself.
"Ruled by the dictates of her father, her husband, and the priests of the Catholic Church, Rose learned early on to live by a code of submission and self-suppression," wrote the Chicago Sun-Times. Showbiz Chicago noted, "The writing is quite candid and brutally real."
Both stoic and fragile, reserved and revealing, Rose, played by Linda Monchik, recalls the remarkable accomplishments and the incredible losses of the Kennedy family, reflects on the Camelot years and more difficult times, and finds new understanding of the choices she made as well as those made by her husband and children.
"Rose Kennedy was the daughter of the first Irish American mayor of Boston, 'Honey Fritz,' and the mother of three sons who served in Washington at the same time: the president of the United States, the attorney general, and the junior senator from Massachusetts," said Monchik, who has done considerable research for the part.
"Rose was an iconic 20th century woman who prevailed, despite a multitude of personal tragedies, keeping her family together, and inspiring them to greatness," said Monchik. "She wrote that her life was based on faith, 'A path from which I never wander,' and, when asked what made her family different, she responded, 'We get up and go.' She was indomitable."
Monchik has performed in numerous theatrical productions on the Cape, in Boston, Providence, and on the South Coast, including the 2017 performance of "Rose," directed by Joan Edstrom at the Woods Hole Theater Company and Falmouth Museums on the Green. She has appeared in several Cotuit Center for the Arts productions, including "Thirty-Three Variations," "The Beauty Queen of Leenane," "Steel Magnolias," "The Belle of Amherst," the one-woman show about Emily Dickinson, and "The Weight of Silence."
Leamer, an accomplished journalist and author, has written extensively about the Kennedys. He based his play on 40 hours of audio interviews with Rose Kennedy conducted by Robert Coughlan, the ghost writer of her 1974 memoir.
Tickets ae $20, $15 for members. Cotuit Center for the Arts is at 4404 Route 28 in Cotuit. For more information, visit artsonthecape.org or call 508-428-0669.
