Pianist and music director Chip Crawford, drummer Emanuel Harrold, bassist Aaron James, alto saxophonist Yosuke Sato, and tenor saxophonist Tivon Pennicott are all on the record, plus, on a few cuts, trumpeter Curtis Taylor, and organist Glenn Patscha are added. The record is produced by Brian Bacchus with arranger and associate producer Kamau Kenyatta also on board. Songs include, besides the title track: 'Musical Genocide'; a take on the Ramsey Lewis-Dobie Gray crowd pleaser 'The "In" Crowd'; Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach's 'Lonesome Lover'; and Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne's 'I Fall in Love Too Easily'. Other songs are: 'Water Under Bridges'; 'Movin''; 'Wolf Cry'; and 'Brown Grass'. The ballad 'Hey Laura'; 'Wind Song'; and as mentioned earlier 'No Love Dying' also are thought to appear plus 'When Love Was King,' and the jazz-funk number, 'Free'.

New year for family movie fun
(Courtesy Disney/MCT)
Jess Riddle, Entertainment Editor
The end of 2011 brought audiences new movies to view such as New Year's Eve, the latest Mission Impossible movie Ghost Protocol, and We Bought a Zoo. Each movie brought in more than $30 million at the Box Office, bringing the 2011 year to a great close for movie-goers and extending profits into the new year.
Mission Impossible 4, set for an audience of 13 years and older, was the fourth movie in the Mission Impossible series. First released on Friday, December 16, the movie was thought to be only shooting and explosions, but there is also a back storyline during the whole movie not realized until the end. Starting off with main man Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) sitting in a prison cell, his team awaits the pivotal moment to break him out. After he meets his team, the adventure begins, and the audience is brought into the secret life of an IMF secret agent.
While he is in prison, another team with the IMF is working on the retrieval of nuclear launch codes to keep out of the hands of nuclear extremists. One member is taken out by an assassin, and the codes are stolen again. Realizing that the IMF only knows of one extremist to have capabilities of actually launching the missiles, Hunt and his team visit the Kremlin to understand more about their updated target. But while there the culprit creates a set-up on Hunt's team and blows up part of the Kremlin. The blow-up makes Hunt and his team go into Ghost Protocol by the Secretary of Defense. While under the protocol, they create a replica scene of a meeting place to infiltrate the plot of the culprit. Car chases, explosions, and stolen car damage brings the team right on the tail of the culprit.
While watching the movie, audiences are brought into multiple cultures around the world. Scenes such as hanging on a hotel window and awaiting the arrival of a dust storm bring countries like India and Russia into the big screen. Without giving away the ending, let's just say the culprit and his team get what is coming to them.
Even though the movie New Year's Eve wasn't released on New Year's Eve, it brought the ending of 2011 into a new light, showing the backside of everything that goes on to prepare for the ball lighting, its rise above the crowd, and its drop in the last minute of 2011. This movie has multiple story lines, but each story line connects with the other in some way.
Including stars such as Zac Efron, Asthon Kutcher, Katherine Heigel, Lea Michelle, Hillary Swank, Jessica Biel, and Sarah Jessica Parker, each individual story line starts out with something that happened during a New Year's Eve celebration in Times Square, New York City. New Year's Eve is a heartwarming story about families coming together and second chances. The movie also shows just how intertwined our lives actually are to each other.
Beauty and the Beast is the newest edition to the 3-D family for Disney Classics. The setting begins in a castle that is home to a cold-hearted prince. Visited by an enchantress, and hidden behind frailty, the prince shows there is no love in his heart. With magic, she turns him into a hideous, ugly beast. If he finds true love by his 21st birthday the spell will be lifted forever, but he must not only love her, but she must love him.
Meanwhile, a young lady, Belle, looks for adventure in a small town of France. Finding her adventure through books, she and her father are the town outcasts. As her father leaves for a science convention, he runs across trouble and ends up at the Prince's castle, where he earns a prison cell for the night. Many people love this Disney classic because it shows the importance of family, finding true love, and treating others fairly. This new release is sure to attract new audiences to learn about these lessons in life.
A movie for the whole family to watch this season is We Bought a Zoo, starring Hollywood sensations Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansen. Benjamin Mee (Damon) tries to start a new life after his wife dies. He and his daughter go house shopping one day, and find the house of their dreams. Little did they know this house had the backyard of a zoo. Benjamin buys the house expecting that everything would fall into place. Dylan, Benjamin's son draws disturbing images and is kicked out of his school. Ben and Dylan aren't on the same side, thinking wise.
When Ben buys the zoo backyard, he also finds a team of specialists at his resources. All throughout the movie, he deals with personal matters haunting his past, money issues, and family. He finds some surprises, good and bad, with gifts his wife has left him, plus bad issues with some of the animals. This movie is a heart-warming tale about a single dad trying to bring his family and his new zoo back together and on their feet.
Although these movies did not make the Academy Award list, they entertain families who wish to share a movie that all can enjoy.

I don't unfortunately. I was actually curious about doing that but I'm not familiar with the set up for ripping LDs.
Might not be a bad idea to look into that, for archival purposes.
Ripping laserdiscs seems like a headache. I sent a guy a laserdisc a year ago and he still hasn't converted it.
Likes: snowgeisha
Yeah, I looked into it a while back and it seemed pretty complicated. Seems the easiest way would be to first record the LD to a DVD then rip that.. but for archival purposes, that would lessen the quality, so it kinda defeats the purpose. There are other ways to do it, but it requires equipment that I don't have at the moment. So I dropped the idea altogether. Maybe somewhere down the line I'll give it a go.
Likes: Starlight and Mosaic
You can transfer to dvd and then use make mkv, it is a free software that remuxes the dvd without reencoding it, so there will be no loss of quality.
Please keep updating us with images like these while working on the show.

I cannot blame toei for not attempting color-correction though. The episodes are so uneven, I had to cut like every 5 seconds of the episode and color correct them separately. because every scene is different in terms of colors. It takes ages to even try to make an episode look somewhat consistent in colors.
Wow, these look fantastic!

I acknowledge that, but I also know there is no software yet capable of making accurate guesses on color jumps to cut the video automatically as well as adjusting color as nice as a person could. Also I know they won't hire 1000 people to work on this, even if they do color is subjective and even two people won't necessarily come to the same adjustment to make it consistent. And their film was so degraded in color and maybe even shot in such bad lighting conditions that even stock footage they reused is vastly different from episode to episode. What I cannot comprehend is how on earth they could lose so much detail, while de-graining. I specifically removed the grain to see how much detail could be retained and I certainly do not have access to uncompressed masters.
Maybe AI could do that in the future, & by then Toei would make a new release to milk the fans yet again.
And it will still look [BLEEP], because they will use their terrible upscale for future releases, which is a shame. Even color corrected it would still be
a blurry mess.
After the whole episode being different shades of red, of course this happens on the preview. It was a night mare, it would have looked much better if I just redid it with the frames from the actual episode, but I wanted to try and see what can be done with this kind of... Yeah, the red shots are much easier to work with overall. Still weird how this kind of extremes could happen on the same episode. Color correcting the whole show is something only a fan could do properly. If someone is being payed to do it they will ultimately rush the job as they are payed for their time.

And god help anyone if they move to 4k, they already started for their movies...
^Ironically the regular HD Blu-rays included has the 4:3 versions which is new because the original Blu-rays for those were 16:9 only...
Oh, god...
Reminding me of those pirated PGSM DVDs over here back then when the show was still airing in Japan - they didn't have the supposed DVD quality because their "masters" were TV recordings (complete w/ the time stamp at a top corner of the screen). lol
This makes me wanna watch the entire series with your corrections :-D Amazing how crisp yours look!
I don't have the time, just tried with one episode. Maybe one day, when I am retired But the creator of the thread is working on it as well and seems determined.

The Hard Stuff: "Why Won't He Ever Put Me First?"
By Karen Karbo Published: Mar 20, 2009
David Turner/Studio D
A year ago I met a man who was recently divorced. Each time we make plans to spend quality time together, his ex happens to call and he ends up taking care of his child instead. At first being a single mom myself I understood, but now it's getting out of hand. His excuse is always "It's my kid" and "I'm just trying to be a good dad." Now our quality time comes down to whenever he can fit me in and maybe a session in the sack. When I try to walk away, he begs me to stay and tells me that he loves me like no other. But lately our relationship feels more like a booty call, and I'm too old for that. Can you help me understand why I'm allowing myself to feel so cheap?

I don't think there's any deep psychological problem that causes you to subject yourself to this. The simple truth is that love makes us a little crazy.
It's great to be understanding, but you can understand something without condoning it. Your ability to empathize with your guy's desire to be a good father gives him a ready-made excuse for breaking your dates, whether he's conscious of it or not. He knows that when he plays the daddy card, you'll understand, and so you do. And because you don't walk away, he has no motivation for standing up to his ex and possibly suffering a nasty confrontation.
There's no reason on earth why he can't make concrete plans with his ex-wife about when he's going to see his kid, then honor the plans he made with you. Unless said plans include the summiting of Everest, where there's a chance he'll be out of cell range for a week or more, the man should be able to shut his phone off and go to a movie.
If his ex-wife has some last-minute thing she has to do, she can call a friend, a family member, or a baby-sitter. The last time I checked, paying a responsible 14-year-old girl to watch your kid for three hours doesn't make you a bad parent.
I know the situation is more complicated than this. Your guy may say that if he's forced to say no to his ex-wife, she'll turn his kid against him or won't let him see his child. He'll offer many reasons why he can't just keep his plans with you. Tell him you understand but that you think too highly of yourself to be treated this way (plus, you yourself need to be a good parent, and that involves modeling self-respect). Unless he can figure out a way to fix this, you're walking away. Your priority is to feel loved and cherished, and once you acknowledge and embrace that truth, he probably will too.

The squad levels concentrate on building strength and stamina whilst continually advancing stroke technique.
Swimmers new to the Ripples program must be assessed by either our Head or Assistant Coach prior to being placed in a Squad. Bookings are essential; please contact the centre for further details.
At the completion of the two major competition periods each year, Australian Championships Long Course and State Championships Short Course, swimmers in all squads are assessed by coaching staff to identify which squad is appropriate for the coming preparation cycle. Progression through the development pathway is determined by the coaching staff's assessment of a swimmer's progress, training application, competition results as well as the availability of vacant positions in the appropriate squad. Swimmers who demonstrate exceptional standards may progress through the development pathway at any time throughout the year. Swimmers who fail to maintain standards and requirements may be moved down or have their place in the program terminated.

DEVIL'S POCKET By John Dixon
August 26, 2015 by Craig DiLouie Leave a Comment
It's a real pleasure to review DEVIL'S POCKET by John Dixon. Proud of the disclaimer for this review, which is that John's a friend of mine and somebody I admire a great deal personally.
The novel is the sequel to PHOENIX ISLAND, which won John a Bram Stoker Award from the Horror Writers Association. In that novel, Carl Freeman, an orphan teen who's always getting into fights to stomp bullies, is given an option by a judge: go to jail, or go to a rehabilitation camp called Phoenix Island, a boot camp for troubled youths. Carl arrives on the remote tropical island to discover it's far more than what he was led to believe. Phoenix Island is a brutal Darwinist hell in which only the strong survive to be trained as mercenaries. Soon, Carl is forced to fight for himself and his friends or die trying.
In DEVIL'S POCKET, Carl has survived his rebellion and is now playing along as the camp commander's protege, his strength and senses boosted by the implantation of an experimental chip that makes him virtually invincible. Commander Stark sends him as part of a team to participate in the Funeral Games, a secret no-holds-barred fighting competition with massive stakes. There, Carl will struggle with his chip's impulses, rediscover lost friends, and struggle against the true power behind Phoenix Island.
PHOENIX ISLAND impressed me with its pacing. You could tell John was once a boxer, as his style of writing has a jab-jab-jab-punch rhythm that keeps you reading. In DEVIL'S POCKET, John offers the same easy-to-read, page-turning style while demonstrating more confidence and maturity as a writer. He offers all the elements one expects from a winning thriller but without the predictability.
Looking forward to the next installment in the series.

The game becomes harder and very challenging as you advance into further levels, but the fun is always there.
Football Fans as me definitely admire this game. The creators of the game have brought football on mobile. Real Football 2012 is definitely the best Android game as long as sport genre comes out.
It has great controls and excellent gameplay. As long as features comes out they are in par with PC football games. You can edit your characters or teams and many other things.

Stan Lee Breaks His Silence: Those I Trusted Betrayed Me
Lee's legacy has long been solidified. In his time as the president and chairman of Marvel Comics in the early to mid-1960s, he co-created superheroes including Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, Black Panther, Iron Man, the X-Men and the Avengers, characters which now dominate pop culture and headline multi-billion-dollar film franchises. The Marvel Cinematic Universe alone has grossed nearly $18 billion globally while turning Lee's creations—and Lee himself—into household names. The comics' legend, who pocketed $10 million in Marvel's $4 billion sale to Disney in 2010 and cameos in almost every Marvel blockbuster, is estimated to be worth between $50 million and $70 million. He is an icon, as revered among comic-book geeks as the fictional crusaders he helped invent. He was also a regular, reliably charismatic fixture of the convention circuit until the aforementioned bout of pneumonia that sidelined him earlier this year.

Months After His Own Near-Death, Brian Bendis Knows What Hurts Superman
Readers who pick up Superman get "a very large, cosmic story" that, in these initial issues, will see Earth establish itself in the fallout of the reveal of what actually happened to Krypton. "It will be revealed it was a cover-up, and the cover-up is always worse than the crime," he says.
Action Comics, by contrast, is a crime saga set deep in Metropolis that follows a mafia that has operated under Superman's nose for years. "It's about Clark trying to tell the truth in a world that doesn't agree with what the truth is."

Kaplanian Report – November 2020
Boeing's Latest ecoDemonstrator Targets Noise, Airspace Routing
The drive for environmental sustain ability comes in many forms and from all sectors of the aviation industry. Boeing's completion in early September of its latest ecoDemonstrator flight trials centering on noise, airspace routing efficiency, and cabin disinfection certainly applies to business jets as much as airliners.
Performed over about a week of flying twice a day from a former U.S. Air Force base in Glasgow, Montana, and during individual positioning flights between Seattle's Boeing Field and the company's Dreamliner assembly plant in Charleston, South Carolina, the tests evaluated the effectiveness of noise-mitigating fairings attached to the 787-10's Safran Landing gear. Further noise testing involved the use of 200 microphones attached to the left side of the aircraft's fuselage and 1,000 more listening devices on the ground in Montana.
Addressing both environmental efficiency and safety, the testing also demonstrated a system meant to more accurately guide flights around hazards such as storms, allowing pilots to better plan their routes and more quickly arrive at their destinations.
Separately, engineers tested a new hand-held wand to kill germs on surfaces within the cabin such as Covid-19. Using 222-nanometer ultraviolet light, the wand disinfected the 787 flight deck in unless than 15 minutes.
The Etihad 787-10 was the seventh test platform used since the start of the ecoDemonstrator program in 2012. Over the eight year program, Boeing has managed to apply several of the tested items to production airplanes. One of the earliest studies, in 2012, resulted in Advanced Technology winglet that now appears on the 737 Max.
On the 777X, Boeing has incorporated touchscreen displays first tested in 2014 and in 2016 signed a contract with Rockwell Collins (now Collins Aerospace) to supply the devices of all flight deck displays.
Higher-Weight A330-900 Secures EASA Certification
Airbus's higher-weight A330-900 has obtained certification from the European airworthiness authority, enabling operators to take advantage of greater range.
The aircraft, the larger variant of the A330neo family, has a maximum take-off weight of 251t. The French carrier Corsair will be the first carrier to introduce the new version. Airbus commenced flight-testing of the higher-weight version at the end of February this year, using MSN1967.
The aircraft has undergone modifications, including strengthening the landing gear and structural reinforcements, which Airbus describes as "weight-neutral" adding that it retains 99% spares commonality.
"Modifications to the nose-and main landing-gear has also enabled Airbus engineers to extend their time-before-overhaul," stretching the interval from 10 to 12 years.
Airbus intends to obtain similar 251t certification next year for the smaller A330-800.

Last Ever Airbus A380 Rolled Out From the Factory In Toulouse
On September 25th, the last ever Airbus A380 rolled out of the Airbus Toulouse assembly plant. Since the A380 first delivery to Singapore Airlines in 2007, more than 240 A380s have rolled of the line.
Initial assembly of the final A380, serial number 272, has been completed with manufacturing station 40 out of work. It's now off to station 30, where the engines will be installed and tests are carried out on electrical and hydraulic systems.
After engine tests are performed, the aircraft will make its first flight test to Hamburg, Germany, where the cabin will be installed, fitted out and the plane painted in the customer's livery: Emirates Airlines.
The Airbus 380 was developed at a cost of $25 billion and, with a capacity of up to 853 passengers, it's the largest gas produced civil airliner in history.
Airbus overestimated airlines' appetite for the aircraft. By the time the 2019 announcement, it had delivered just 234 of the aircraft—less than a quarter of the 1,200 it had predicted when the A380 was introduced.

King Air 360/360ER Awarded FAA Type Certification
Textron Aviation's Beechcraft King Air 360/360ER has been awarded FAA type certification, a little more than a month after the upgraded twin-turboprop was announced.
The upgraded airplane features the Innovative Solutions & Support(IS&S) ThrustSense auto throttle, which allows pilots to automatically manage engine power from takeoff roll through climb, cruise, descent, and go-around phases of flight. Also new to King Air cockpit is digital pressurization controller that automatically schedules cabin pressurization during climb and descent and gauges of which have been integrated into the airplane's Collin Aerospace Pro Line Fusion flight deck.
Cabin altitude has been improved by 10 percent over its predecessor 350i, providing an altitude of 5,960 feet at a typical cruising altitude of 27,000 feet.

Jetfly Takes Delivery of First PC-12NGX
European fractional ownership company Jetfly Aviation has taken delivery of the first Pilatus PC-12NGX along with its fifth PC-24 aircraft.
Unveiled in 2019, the PC-12 NGX is equipped with an updated Pratt & Whitney PT6E-67XP engine, which includes a full digital engine control, marking a first for business turboprops. In addition, the aircraft includes a fully integrated auto throttle option and features a new passenger cabin that draws from the PC-24 twinjet.
The Jetfly Group, which includes Fly 7 Aviation, currently operates 47 Pilatus aircraft. Delivery of the fifth PC-24 comes within two years of Jetfly's first.

GE9X Engine for the Boeing 777X Gets FAA Certification
On September 28, the Federal Aviation Administration has certificated GE Aviation's 105,000lb-thrust (467kN) GE9X turbofans milestone; coming as Boeing continues working toward achieving certification for its GE9X-powered 777-9.
GE completed the GE90X certification program using eight test engines that logged nearly 5,000h of operation and 8,000 cycles.
John Slattery, president and CEO of GE Aviation, said: "It takes the world's best talent in jet propulsion to create a game-changing product like the GE9x engine. There is no substitute that can achieve the combination of size, power and fuel efficiency of theGE9X. This engine will deliver unsurpassed value and reliability to our airline customers."
"GE's focus remains working with Boeing to complete the 777X flight-test program and entry into service," GE says. "Eight GE9X test engines and two test spares have been delivered to Seattle for Boeing's four 777X test airplanes."
GE continues working to achieve FAA GE9X"extended operations"(ETOPS) approval – an effort expected to involve 3,000 GE9X ground -test cycles. The Company is also "conducting maturation testing to help GE engineers prepare to support the engine in service", it adds.
GE Aviation in 2021 will kick off a GE90X test program intended to validate the power plant's durability when operating in sandy, dusty conditions.
The tests will let GE evaluate the 105,000lb-thrust (467kN) GE9X's design and technologies intended to help the power plant tolerate such extreme operations.
"One of our biggest focus points has been a sand infection," says GE90X program leader Karl Sheldon." The test next year is where we purposefully allow the engine to ingest sand."
"The intent of the test is to validate the technology that we put in therein a full-up operating condition" Sheldon adds.
Extra Facility Opened For Planes Grounded By Covid-19
An aircraft storage facility in Central Australia is now so full that its owners have had to seek out more space.
Many carriers haven't had enough passengers to justify flying during the pandemic, and have opted to store their planes.
Asia Pacific Airline Storage is storing 94 planes at Alice Springs, and will store more in Southeast Queensland (APAS).
APAS has additional sixteen slots on site, but they are already booked with existing customers. The site has become a local landmark in the remote town of about 25,000 people.
The Company has plans to expand the facility from its current 110 slots to accommodate 160-200 aircraft. Until the expansion is ready, APAS needs to find extra space elsewhere. Desert conditions are widely regarded by manufacturers and airlines as preferable for storing planes because it is easier to protect against corrosion in dry weather.
APAS now has 70 employees ensuring the planes are properly looked after until the airlines need them again. The Facility is not an airline "boneyard" where old planes are stripped for reusable parts; but suggested that they might become part of the business if the industry continues to face headwinds.
The IATA estimates that it will be at least 2024 before air traffic reaches pre-pandemic levels.

CMA CGM to Take Stake In French Airline Parent
Shipping transport and Logistics group CMA CGM has signed a memorandum of understanding to take a 30% stake in Groupe Dubreuil Aero, shareholder of carrier Air Caraibes and French Bee.
The move is aimed at further developing activity in the airfreight market, building on co-operation struck during the coronavirus crisis, plus providing fresh equity for the french airline operator.
Air Caraibes took delivery of its first A350-1000 in December, and already operates three A350-900s.
CMA CGM chef executive Rodolphe Saade says: "The acquisition of this stake will enable the CMA CGM Group to strengthen its position in airfreight. We will bring to Groupe Dubreuil Aero all our expertise in the transport of goods in ultra-marine territories."
The carriers operate a combined fleet of 17 aircraft, including six Airbus A330 and eight A350 widebodies. They handled 2.15 million passengers in 2019, roughly a third go Groupe Dubreuil revenues.

321 Precision Conversions Complete First Flight of A321 Converted Freighter
Oregon company 321 Precision Conversions has completed first flight of its Airbus A321-200PCF. freighter.
The type is a former passenger A321 converted to a freighter capable of carrying 27t of payload.
Precision Conversions is working toward receiving a supplemental type certificate for the type from the Federal Aviation Administration, and certifications from European and Chinese regulators.
"This milestone flight was nominal in all respects, with primary and secondary systems- including the cargo door and support sub-systems- functioning perfectly as designed," says Precision Conversions President Gary Warner.
Precision Conversions is a joint venture between aircraft modification specialist Precision Aircraft Solutions, also based in Oregon, and air freight company Air Transport Services Group, based in Ohio.
The A321-PCF conversion includes addition of a hydraulically operated main-deck cargo door and main-deck cargo loading system.The type has a reinforced floor and plugged windows.
The Conversion allows the A321 to carry up to 14 containers measuring (88x125in) on the main dockhand 10 smaller containers on its lower deck.
Precision Conversions has said the jet's capacity will be similar to that of Boeing 757-200Fs, with costs comparable to 737Fs.
Wet-Lease and charter specialist SmartLynx's Maltese division is to lease a pair of the A321s which have been converted to freighters.

Factors at Play as 737 Max Closes in on Operational Return
The signs are that after the many hurdles that had to be overcome and several false dawns for its revival; the Boeing 737 Max should finally return to the skies before the end of 2020. But the recertification will be just the start of a new set of challenges for Boeing, its customers, and the wider industry.
There are myriad issues that will come into play as the program is revived more than 20 months since its grounding; including some linked to the airline trading conditions caused by the coronavirus pandemic. There are questions around areas; such as the pace of the Max fleet restoration (among the installed fleet and hundreds of built but undelivered airframes); operators' appetite to add Max and crew-training capacity; the potential displacement effect on other fleets: and the alignment of regulatory approvals worldwide.
But the crucial parameter is beyond the industry's control: the acceptance by the traveling public to fly on the aircraft. While the narrative on the Max's safety failings has perhaps been overtaken by Covid-19 pandemic, media attention around its re-introduction could quickly revive painful memories. As it stands, there are 385 delivered Max aircraft grounded worldwide, according to Cirium fleets data. Cirium estimates that approximately another 450 Max airframes are but and stored awaiting delivery.
If, as is now widely expected, recertification by the FAA is imminent, that should clear the way for an almost immediate resumption of deliveries to US airlines. It is likely that the FAA's approval will be shadowed promptly by authorities participating alongside it in the 737 Max Joint Operations Evaluation Board (JOEB): Brazil, Canada and the EU. The approval status in key Max market China is less clear; but might be expected to follow within months of the FAA's decision.
If US Max clearance does come soon, then Ascend by Cirium estimates that 2020 deliveries could just reach double figures. As Boeing works to clear the backlog of built aircraft, along with integrating deliveries from Renton assembly line, we project annual shipments reaching 430 in 2021 and 480 in 2022. Before declining below 400 over the following two years. Assuming deliveries are a mix of stored and new-build airframes, we estimate that backlog of parked aircraft will be cleared by the first quarter of 2023. The delivery rate would then fall slightly to approximately 390 at a monthly rate of 31 aircraft.
There will be several drivers determining the pace of return to service of the 385 aircraft grounded in March 2019. Once approval is received within each operator's jurisdiction, every aircraft will have to undergo post-storage checks and testing. From a demand-side prospective, airlines will look at their fleet-planning strategy amid the downturn and training availability required for flight crews.

"It is time for Malaysia to abolish the death penalty," Malaysian Law Minister Nazri Abdul Aziz said on Monday. His remark is a significant recognition on the part of his government in the debate over capital punishment in Malaysia. He is after all also a senior minister in the Prime Minister's Office.
And as far as I know, he is the most senior Malaysian minister to have called for the abolition of the death penalty thus far.
"If it is wrong to take someone's life, then the government should not do it either. It is ironic and not correct," Nazri was reported to have said. "No criminal justice system is perfect. You take a man's life and years later, you find out that another person did the crime. What can you do?" he added.
"For me, a life is a life. No one has the right to take someone else's life, even if that person has taken another life," the New Straits Times quoted the minister as having said.
Malaysia and Singapore are the only two countries in Southeast Asia which impose the mandatory death penalty for certain crimes. The two countries rarely release information about executions but Malaysian activists say 358 hangings were carried out between 1981 and 2005 in Malaysia. Singapore, on the other hand, has been ranked top in the number of executions worldwide by Amnesty International.
Singapore ministers have repeatedly insisted that the death penalty deters crimes such as drug trafficking and persists in hanging even those as young as 18 and 19.
Curiously, the minister seems to believe that drug barons do consider the social status of the drug mules before employing them to traffick drugs.
The Malaysian Law minister, however, holds a different opinion – he does not feel that the death penalty is a deterrent.
The Singapore government has not provided any statistical proof or studies to back up its claims that the mandatory death penalty deters crimes. It thus seems that the application of the mandatory death penalty is based on nothing more than a "feeling" that it reduces crime, particularly for drug trafficking.
The Malaysian Law Minister's comments come in the wake of growing public awareness and support for Yong who was arrested and sentenced to death for trafficking in 47.27g of heroin in 2007. Yong was 18 and a half years old when he was caught in Singapore.
Yong is expected to submit his clemency appeal to the Singapore president, who has never granted a single clemency in his 11 years as president, in the coming weeks.
With Nazri Aziz apparently giving support to the call for abolition, perhaps it is also time for Singapore to take a long hard look at its own laws regarding the death penalty, especially the mandatory death penalty. Several quarters have raised concerns about the issue, including opposition politicians, academics, activists, bloggers and the Law Society of Singapore.
Among countries which are reviewing their laws are China and Japan. The Japanese Justice Minister last week opened its execution chambers to journalists and she has encouraged a public debate on the issue.
Singapore's application of the death penalty, however, is shrouded in secrecy and the media has shied away from highlighting the issue to bring about a similar public debate.
In the meantime, the island will continue to hang the young and the poor, in its belief that this deters the drug barons.
If drug lords cared about the young and the poor, would they even use them as drug couriers in the first place?
Perhaps it is time for the Singapore public to be given the opportunity to have a meaningful debate on questions such as these.
It is time to stop burying our heads in the sand.

Traveling to Chiang Rai
Chiang Rai was the capital of the Lanna Thai kingdom for just 30 years before Chiang Mai took over. As it turns out, losing its leading role may have been a blessing in disguise. The city has managed to retain a strong Lanna identity without sacrificing its relaxed, laid-back atmosphere, making it perfect for visitors hoping to steer clear of the camera-toting masses of the south.
Much of Chiang Rai is walk able. Should your feet get sore, Songthaews (converted pick-up trucks that function as buses), cycle rickshaws, Tuk-tuks and an increasing number of metered taxis will carry your around for a fee. Many guesthouses offer bicycle and motorbike rentals too.
Thailand can boast of thousands of temples, but none are quite like Wat Rong Khun (also known as the White Temple), located about 13km south of Chiang Rai. While most other temples honour sacred and mythological figures of the past, this one takes a much more contemporary approach, displaying imagery depicting everything from Michael Jackson to Harry Potter.
Back in town, the most revered Buddhist temple is Wat Phra Kaew, where the deceptively named Emerald Buddha (it's actually made of jade) was originally uncovered. The gleaming green Buddha now resides in Bangkok's Wat Phra Kaew, but there is a fantastic near-replica in Chiang Rai.
Other city highlights include Mae Fah Luang Art and Culture Park, which houses a trove of precious folk art, teak artefacts and contemporary northern Thai works as well as a meticulously kept garden.
The wider Chiang Rai region is a big draw for adventurous travellers who have grown tired of trampling the same old path as everyone else. Enjoy trekking, river rafting and boat rides, or visit some of the nomadic hill tribe communities of the Golden Triangle, a notorious opium-producing region. For an educational primer on the hill tribe communities and cultures, stop by the Hilltribe Museum and Education Center in the city before embarking on a trek.
Wat Rong Khun is an undeniable show-stopper, but few guests in town take the time to properly appreciate another Chiang Rai monument with which it bears a striking resemblance: the Chiang Rai Clock Tower. The twisted, contorted spires of this golden clock tower are the product of well-known Thai artist Chalermchai Kositpipat, the very same man behind the famous White Temple. Light and sound displays take place here every night.
Just a few blocks north of the clock tower is Wat Phra Singh, another temple that doesn't get its dues. Though relatively plain on the outside, this 14th-century complex conceals a fascinating assortment of Lanna art and decoration.
Northern Thai cuisine is a genre of its own, blending flavours borrowed from neighbouring nations, such as Burma, Laos and even China. Lanna dining traditions, such as khantoke dinners (which involves eating a selection of different dishes served on a low round table while diners sit on the floor), prevails. Specialty recipes of the region include Burmese pork curry, nam prik ong (a pork and tomato chilli dip), kluay tod (fried banana) and sai ooa (grilled pork sausage). In this part of the country, almost every meal comes with a side helping of khao neow (sticky rice).
