WELLINGTON, March 15 (Xinhua) -- A New Zealand air force transport aircraft has arrived in Vanuatu Sunday with New Zealand' s first consignment of aid for the cyclone-stricken Pacific island nation, the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) said Sunday.
The C-130 Hercules was carrying first aids kits, tarpaulins for emergency shelter Women's Jaleel Johnson Jersey , water containers, chainsaw packs and generators, said a statement from the NZDF.
Specialist personnel from New Zealand government agencies and the New Zealand Red Cross were also aboard to help carry out a needs assessment that will shape further assistance in the wake of Tropical Cyclone Pam.
Head of air force operations Air Commodore Kevin McEvoy said the consignment would make a real difference with Vanuatu's main airport still closed to civilian aircraft.
"The C-130 Hercules is an ideal platform for operating into areas that may not be accessible to commercial aircraft," McEvoy said in the statement.
A New Zealand air force P-3K2 Orion returned home Sunday after providing aerial reconnaissance support to assist with Tuvalu's disaster needs assessment, said McEvoy.
New Zealand Foreign Minister Murray McCully said Saturday that the New Zealand government would give an initial contribution of 1 million NZ dollars (734,592 U.S. dollars) to assist Pacific nations hit by Cyclone Pam.
Funding included 200 Women's Pat Elflein Jersey ,000 NZ dollars (146,918 U.S. dollars) to respond to specific requests for assistance in Vanuatu, Fiji, Tuvalu and Solomon Islands, and 400,000 NZ dollars (293 Women's Dalvin Cook Jersey ,837 U.S. dollars) for non-governmental organizations in Vanuatu and Solomon Islands to replenish relief supplies.
There once was a time when boxing ruled the sports landscape. The heavyweight
champion was the most feared and famous athlete on the planet. Boxers like Joe
Louis, Muhammad Ali, George Foreman and Mike Tyson were household names
throughout the world.
However, over the last decade, a sport with history
and honor has lost its popularity to upstart sports like Mixed Martial Arts
(MMA). The decline of elite fighters in the heavyweight division and the lack of
knockouts have led many young men to look for action and excitement in sports
like MMA.
Because of the decline of boxing, mixed martial arts has taken
over and has become the sport of choice for the age 18-34 demographic and put
the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) on course to join the ranks of elite
sports leagues like the National Basketball Association and the National
Football League.
MMA resounds with 18-34 (year olds) because that age
range has a shorter attention span than other age groups. They buy video
games Women's
Brian O'Neill Jersey , fast cars, cool clothes, all on credit
because they want it now. They want instant gratification. In the UFC, the
normal bout consists of three five-minute rounds, said long-time fan George
Sorrell, 35 Women's
Mike Hughes Jersey , of Houston.
MMA is an intense and
evolving combat sport in which competitors use interdisciplinary forms of
fighting that include jiu-jitsu, judo, karate, boxing, kickboxing, wrestling and
other techniques to their strategic and tactical advantage in a supervised
match.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship began in 1993 Mackensie
Alexander Jersey , but mixed martial arts dates back to the Olympic
Games in Athens, according to the UFC. About 80 years ago, a Brazilian form of
MMA known as Vale Tudo (anything goes) sparked local interest in the sport. Now
that interest is felt throughout the world as the UFC now offers 12 to 14 live
pay-per-view events annually through cable and satellite providers.
Recently, a UFC event in Columbus, Ohio attracted more than 19,000
people Jalyn
Holmes Jersey , the largest audience in North America to witness a
mixed martial arts event. More than 4.7 million viewers tuned in to see UFC 75,
the first ever title bout on Spike TV. On a Saturday night, it outdrew college
football among young men.
Viewers of UFC 75 saw Quinton Rampage Jackson
defeat Dan Henderson to unify the UFC and PRIDE titles in the 205-lb
weight-class. Cheick Kong defeated Mirko Cro Cop and Houston Alexander knocked
out Alessio Sakara in one minute of the first round. In the title fight, Jackson
became the first man to unify a major title with a five-round victory. Judges
scored the bout 48-47 and 49-46 twice for Memphis, Tenn. native.
