Mike Goulian and Team #99 are poised to begin the 2017 Red Bull Air Race World Championship season February 10th and 11th in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The brief winter off-season allowed for various technological and aerodynamic improvements to be made to the Edge 540 race plane. It also provided Goulian the opportunity to reinforce the continuing corporate partnerships that enable the team to pursue its competitive focus throughout the year.
Team #99 is proud to be partnered again with Hartzell Propeller, Cirrus Aircraft, and Bose Aviation for the entire 2017 air race season. These three partners represent some of the best organizations in aviation, a fact not lost on Goulian. "These great companies have invested in me and my team in so many ways. Having their trust inspires us every day to work hard and to live up to their examples of success and dedication." Hartzell has partnered with Mike Goulian's air show team since 2004. Hartzell, Cirrus, and Bose are all in their 4th consecutive year of supporting the racing team.
In addition to these team partners, team #99 has brought three personal sponsors back for 2017: Whelen Engineering, Goodyear Aviation, and Aviall. The team is extremely proud to include these partners into the Red Bull Air Race family of supporters, as they are an integral part of the entire team worldwide.
Thanks to these partners, Mike Goulian and Team 99 continue the pursuit of a championship season in the Red Bull Air Race.

They are familiar Nebraska companies expanding business operations on their home turf. They include Fortune 500 Union Pacific Railroad and the sprawling West Corp. Also in the bunch are younger yet on-the-move companies such as Five Nines Technology Group and Medical Solutions staffing firm. These and other Nebraska-rooted companies dominated leasing activity so far this year in the Omaha metropolitan area office market, according to the latest reports from local brokers and Xceligent, a national firm that tracks real estate trends. The growth burst is a reflection, economists and real estate experts say, of a more confident and thriving business climate locally and nationally, as many of the firms serve audiences beyond the metro area.
"The days of companies downsizing are mostly behind us," said J.P. Raynor of Investors Realty. Raynor described as unusual the way local companies this year monopolized office activity. He and colleague Timothy Kerrigan, in their midyear report, noted the lack of out-of-state firms moving to town. "The only cause for pause," the brokers wrote, "may be that companies new to Omaha are basically nonexistent from the list of transactions completed so far in 2014." Overall, though, they and others see a healthy and recovering office market — an indicator of job growth and spending that keeps a city moving forward.
Consider these signs:
» Since peaking in 2009 during the Great Recession at 17 percent, the vacancy rate in the Omaha metro office market of 21 million square feet dropped this past quarter to 11.7 percent, its lowest point in more than 12 years. Nationally, vacancy is 16.8 percent, says Reis Inc., a real estate research firm.
» Construction of several major projects launched, including a 125,000-square-foot midtown office building whose primary tenant will be Pacific Life, and a $205 million entertainment district downtown that will offer some office space.
» The Omaha area in the first half of this year had about 285,000 square feet of positive absorption, which means that much more office space was leased than vacated. At that pace, the year could end with a net gain twice the average of the past 10 years, Colliers International said in its recent report.
Boosting absorption were a few extraordinary transactions that had been long in planning stages. Gordmans, Omaha's homegrown apparel and home decor retailer, in late March began its move to a new 70,000-square-foot headquarters at Aksarben Village. Tenaska in April moved into its nearly 87,500-square-foot building at the First National Bank Business Park in west Omaha. Economist Eric Thompson, who directs the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Bureau of Business Research, said such property upgrades are a sign that corporate leaders expect the economic recovery to continue. The local activity supports findings of his monthly surveys in which Nebraskans were fairly optimistic about the economy, and Omahans were even more positive. "Businesses are getting more comfortable in making investments, including moving forward in terms of new space," Thompson said. "It's been a while."
The lack of big new or out-of-state firms choosing Omaha as home, Thompson said, could be attributed in part to Omaha no longer being one of just a handful of places where the economy is still robust. "There may have been a time when companies looking to expand were focusing more on Nebraska and Omaha than they might have normally," he said. "As the rest of the U.S. economy, thankfully, has started to recover more robustly, there are a lot more options."
Barry Zoob of Colliers International said he hears other reasons, including Omaha's limited workforce pool due in part to a low unemployment rate, and better tax incentive packages in other states. Still, he noted that three or four out-of-state companies currently are touring and considering Omaha because of attributes that include the local quality of life for families. The growing University of Nebraska Medical Center campus and under-construction cancer research center, Zoob said, is an asset that "definitely is going to move the needle in the office market." Driving this year's leasing activity were company moves into big chunks of Class A building space, including Medical Solutions, the national health care staffing firm founded in Omaha, which is preparing to take the entire top floor of the Westroads IV building at 1010 N. 102nd St. The 36,652-square-foot open area, designed in bright colors and with a game room and kitchen, is about 10,000 square feet larger than the Omaha building it is leaving. Craig Meier, president, said he expects to hire up to 50 more Omaha staffers over the next couple of years. The company now has about 140 people in Omaha and 50 more in three other states. That's not counting more than 1,000 health care professionals the firm matches with employers.
Medical Solutions puts the Westroads IV, which opened last year at Westroads Office Park, at 80 percent full, said Dale Scott of CB Richard Ellis/Mega. "It seems like there are more tenants in the market, landlord concessions are getting smaller," said Scott. "Everyone at our place is absolutely running; we're busy." Other Westroads IV newcomers: WebEquity Solutions, an Omaha-grown company recently bought by New York's Moody's Corp., added 10,500 square feet to 22,000 it already had there; EMC Corp. moved from a previous Omaha site into 9,000 square feet; and South Dakota-based TSP Inc. took about 3,500 square feet, relocating from a different Omaha structure to a more state-of-the-art environment.
T.J. Twit of the Lund Co. said he's seeing an uptick in expansions by small and midsize companies, which he refers to as the engine of the economy. Two Lincoln-based firms, both launched in 2006, are among the fastest-growing: Hudl, a Web-based sports video company, just opened an 8,000-square-foot Omaha office in the Old Market; and Five Nines just relocated its Omaha staff to a 7,700-square-foot spot at 116th Street and West Center Road, more than doubling its Omaha presence. Five Nines co-founder Nick Bock said the firm, a provider of IT and consulting services to small and medium companies in Lincoln and Omaha, foresees 70 percent of its growth in Omaha over the next three years. Five Nines has 85 employees, 25 of them in Omaha. It envisions adding up to 50 more over the next three years. Also expanding this past June into a nearly 12,000-square-foot space 60 percent larger than its previous Omaha site was Travelex Insurance Services, an Omaha-based subsidiary of Travelex. While Travelex Insurance, formed in 1996, has no connection currently to Mutual of Omaha, it grew out of a Mutual company called Tele-Trip. Today, Travelex is one of the largest travel insurance providers in the country, said President Mike Ambrose. Its workforce has expanded from about 50 employees a few years ago to about 80 — 70 of whom work at the Omaha office near 90th Street and West Dodge Road. Ambrose expects 10 to 15 percent growth during the next couple of years.
Other midyear highlights:
» The Class A vacancy rate has dropped to 3.8 percent, which World Group Commercial Real Estate's Eric Renner said is close to a "locked-up market" that is stifling to big business growth. He said that should be alleviated, however, with planned construction projects that include three suburban office parks (Sterling Ridge, West Dodge Pointe and Fountain West) in various stages of development.
» Older Class B and C Omaha buildings, as a whole, are struggling, said Zoob. He noted that the combined Class B and C vacancy rate is about 15 percent — the same as early 2010, which is viewed as the beginning of the economic recovery.
» The second quarter included 21 lease transactions of more than 2,000 square feet, which is below the average 24 transactions over the last 12 quarters. Renner said that lag could be a result of users increasing space efficiency of current worksites, thus allowing more hires without a move to a bigger place.
» The best-performing submarkets this past quarter were the suburban West Dodge corridor and the Miracle Hills area, with vacancy rates of 5.8 percent and 7.4 percent, respectively.
» Downtown reported an 8.4 percent vacancy, buoyed by Union Pacific's expansion into nearly 45,000 square feet at the Central Park Plaza. That off-site location is helping to house 100 new hires each year for a growing IT department, a railroad spokeswoman said.
» Improving is the midtown submarket, which saw its vacancy rate drop to 8.5 percent — due in part to West Corp. adding 17,656 square feet to the 100,000 square feet it already leases at Plaza of the Americas near 72nd Street and Mercy Road. Spokesman David Pleiss said the added space allowed for better organization of citywide teams and will accommodate more employees that West plans to hire.

We welcome you most sincerely to our website. AIBPARC (All India Bank Pensioners & Retirees Confederation) is an organisation of the Retirees, for the Retirees and by the Retirees of the Banking Sector. Although the organisation has been initially sponsored by All India Bank Officers' Confederation (AIBOC), it is now an independent organisation which will discuss, debate, deliberate and decide its own problems and find out the ways and means to sort out the issues. Its door is open to all cadre of employees, officers and executives of the Banking sector. Retirement, we appreciate, is a mighty leveler that abolishes all differences and distinctions of hierarchy which was prevalent in our serving days. Now one recognition characterizes all of us – it is the recognition of our existence as a Retiree and obviously as a Pensioner. With the emergence of this organisation about a year back, a new vista has been opened up in the horizon of the financial sector. The leaders are well known faces in the industry who had devoted more than three decades of selfless services to the community and established their credence beyond doubt. As a result of this, the organisation has already been set on a wheel of progress which is marching ahead to a better tomorrow. The question naturally comes, what we are actually for?


All five of our VHF and UHF analogue and digital repeaters are on air and working at the moment.
As with most repeaters we do suffer from a very few idiots intent on spoiling the repeaters for everyone.
Please ignore these trouble making people and do not reply to them or acknowledge them in any way.
We have a new project under way to allow us to pin point the exact location of these people and block them from accessing our repeaters.
We urgently need help to raise funds to buy the new hardware to enable us to keep our repeaters on the air and free from trouble.
We will be able to easily produce maps showing the exact location of any trouble making transmissions, which will be used as evidence when reporting and helping to take these people off air.
It is now Thursday, April 18 th 2019 and we still need your support.
If you can help with a donation so that we can keep all our repeaters on air, then please use the PayPal donate button on this site or use the contact form so that you can use bank transfer or meet up with us.
Please enter your callsign or name in the reference box when you use a bank transfer.
Here are some photos taken via the repeater site CCTV of the GB3WB Buzzard who has lived at the site for years.
These were taken on Saturday 9th December 2017.
GB3WE VHF repeater now an ALLstar analogue FM repeater!
You can now talk World wide via the ALLstar network using your VHF FM radio.
We are connected to HUBNet which is a very busy network.
The repeater is controlled by a tiny raspberry pi 3. This handles the ALLstar connectivity as well as the courtesy tones and logic.
Our UHF FM repeater GB3WB has the same raspberry pi 3 ALLstar system fitted.
The repeaters will send an 'I' (..) if the last signal was originating from the Internet.
The repeaters will send a 'U' (..-) if they are not connected to the ALLstar network and the last user must have been a local RF user.
Our two Allstar repeaters are connected to the HUBNet UK network.

Motorola MSF5000 TLE2522 UHF Amplifiers are now used on our repeaters, because of the massive losses in our 4 channel Decibel Products hybrid combiner which we use to allow all of our 4 UHF repeater to use the same antenna.
In total our Decibel Products hybrid combiner and two TX notch filters put about 10dB of loss into our transmit path.
To get 1w out we need to run 10w and to get 10w out we need to run 100w!
That is why we need big reliable amplifiers which require only 3w of drive to produce 100w.
All of our repeaters have been reprogrammed to run only 3w now which means their PA's are just ticking over and not even getting warm!
We have also fitted Big 50 Amp ACS758 current sensors to our amplifiers so that our Arduino Mega web server can measure and display the amplifiers performance on a web page.
We have also attached a 7 segment voltmeter display to the green wire in the 6w molex socket so we can see the TX output power forward voltage. This forward voltage is around 8.8v when the PA is running 100w.
The red wire in the socket is connected to a 100k thermistor mounted on the heatsink to allow you to measure the PA's temperature. Measure between the red wire and the black wire which is ground.
The brown wire is connected to the 100k thermistor mounted on the dummy load of the circulator.

GB7IT is our DMR repeater which is connected to the Brandmeister network.
We are using a Yaesu DR-1X repeater with an MMDVM KI6ZUM board and TCXO on an Arduino Due plugged into the rear 15w HD connector of the DR-1X.
The MMDVM is run by a tiny Raspberry Pi 3 computer with the KB5RAB image installed.
You can now operate through GB7IT on 439.4875 MHz with a -9 MHz shift using DMR.
On DMR use timeslot 2, talkgroup 9 and colour-code 1 to talk to the World via the brandmeister network.

Today was full of music, stories and puppets. As it should be! Arun met the group for the first time today and the children responded to the first few improvised tunes on the clarinet with great enthusiasm. It wasn't long before Arun had them playing their own music, using voices, drums, xylophones, keyboard etc as he orchestrated them through different moods and themes, including the Jungle at night.
We found out even more about the Birbal stories, through some brief history and old comic strip books in which the children thought Birbal looked 'evil' because he had a moustache! They listened to more stories then created their own. They invented a Twin for Birbal, a thief, disguising himself as family and a Brahman out in icy waters, staying hopeful by watching the light from the palace.
The final section of the afternoon was the puppet parade as the bowed to an emperor, a clever puppet manipulated by Sue that captured and owned the space to make it a real royal occasion. and moved to some music created by Arun.
We concluded the day with a song full of questions that Akbar could have asked Birbal and had a very catchy chorus!
Today Mashi Theatre enchanted and amused Robert Mellors Primary School with a short introduction to Akbar and Birbal. This wasn't a fully rehearsed piece, script in hand, a couple of scarves to signify character, however the children were so taken in by the characters that when it came to finding out what they knew/thought about them and the story they couldn't stop talking, even the usually quiet ones.
Akbar what do you do when people make you sad?
If they have done something wrong, and that is often why people make me sad, I punish them. In many ways it amuses me.
By the time it came to creating their own work from shorter stories, they were up on their feet and although some were tentative, they all shared three still images.
The games really helped to build their confidence and focus, exploring the servant and king relationship and also more focussed concentrated exercises saw them becoming somewhat of an ensemble, quite magical for primary school year 5's.
Each group approached extending the tableaus into scenes differently, from the beginnings of movement ideas to text. As they developed their scenes modern references began to creep in; mobile phones and theft of wallets, which supports the relevance of the themes in these ancient stories in today's context.
A highlight of the day was making the Ragisthani puppets (Kathputli puppets). Each child made a puppet and took it on a parade through the space, moving to music that evoked a real sense of occasion.
Planning for research and development is exciting as there isn't one definite direction or question. We have a chance to explore and play with ideas as the children might do in order to plan something to inspire them and ignite their curiosity about the Birbal stories.
We were inspired by games, questions, music and a cheeky puppet.
What kind of person is Birbal?
Does Birbal ever get frustrated with the relationship between him and Akbar?
Why does Birbal stay with Akbar?
Is Akbar a good King?
What does Birbal get out of it?
It is amazing what can be constructed with material considered as rubbish.
And not an egg in sight.
It has been an intense and somewhat emotional week. In concluding, Amelia Gambetti said, 'many people leave Reggio Emilia with more questions than when they arrived', she continued 'this is a good thing, as it means the door is left open for further communication and connection to the Reggio family.' It is just that, a family who wishes to provide their children a 'special pocket' which they can dip into in order to deal with whatever life throws at them. In the meantime, they promised to continue to tell the story of what they were doing in Reggio Emilia schools, to talk about the processes and share dreams.
Lorris Malaguzzi once described those working in schools as 'Professionals in the art of Wonder' and it is with wonder that I leave Reggio Emilia, and a deep gratitude to all those that have shared with us.
I hope together we can continue to grow on this shared journey filled with challenges and joy.
We had a short time to take in some other areas that Reggio is well know for.
Here are some pictures from the Cheese factory.
The Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese factory, can you smell it?
It takes 16 litres (4.23 gallons) of milk to make 1 kilo of cheese!
On visiting two Reggio Emilia schools in the past 24 hours, I cannot put it into words better than Plato!One school was a converted greenhouse the other, a house of a director that was taken over by a group of passionate women. The women managed to gain entry into the house, when in followed a beautiful butterfly, shortly afterwards it became a school and forty years later a butterfly remains the school emblem.
We watched children ages 3-5 years play, investigate, debate, record and thoroughly enjoy what they were doing.
A pair of 4 year old children were observing a tree coming into bloom, this tree had been under their surveillance for months! One suggested that the leaves of the tree grew at night, as it was more humid at night while the other argued that the leaves grew at night, as that was when magic could take place. The teacher was ready to receive all theories and allowed each child to put forward their case to back up their opinion. If necessary they would return to the others in the class to investigate further, in this case it was not necessary.
A wonderful negotiation to witness, despite not having an understanding of the language directly. With the hundred languages of children, when we really listen, we are open to understand on a new level.
The child is made of one hundred.
a hundred ways of thinkingof playing, of speaking.
to love and to marvelonly at Easter and at Christmas.
And thus they tell the childthat the hundred is not there.
In Reggio, they view the child in the womb as an already active and unique person, each with their own stamp of uniqueness; a potential to reveal something to the world that has never been seen before. It is therefore the Schools responsibility to give value to these blueprints entering through their doors.
Children hold a natural curiosity and enjoy a often risky interrogation of the surroundings they find themselves in. In Italian they say that they are 'unbalanced towards challenge' meaning they lean towards challenge. This challenging being both to their environment and themselves.
As educators we can hypothesis about how the children may respond to situations presented to them, however, through listening to the children they can show us the extraordinary in the ordinary.
Does the word 'allow' provoke a hierarchy?
We allow children to do certain things and does this work both ways?
On another note, I've got myself a new set a wheels but she doesn't have a name yet, suggestions welcome!
The above quote was taken from a Reggio Pre-school and it was indeed a very warm welcome to Reggio today in more ways than one. Reggio Emilia is know to locals as 'the city of people' and today we started to get a sense of the strong community that is behind the world famous approach. What an inspiration to be amongst 400 practitioners and educators from over 40 countries, sitting together in the International Centre Loris Malaguzzi Auditorium. Loris Malaguzzi for those unfamiliar, was a 25 year old teacher with an idea that still inspires today, the founder of the Reggio Emila approach to learning.
Schools are known referred to as 'Building sites' (no, not the temporary home while the classrooms are being built) a place upon which to build knowledge, explore, take risks and make mistakes.
The child is not seen as a weak subject nor a school as a home, the child is part of planning and preparing for the days activities and a school is seen as the environment for the child to be astonished, to wonder and experience the unexpected.
The approach is developed through collaborations with many different people and resources. One of my favourites was the Ateliers, or what we may refer to as Artists, this includes all areas of learning, the cooks for example are the ateliers of taste and flavour.
It is a journey that started 50 years ago but they still experience the daily problems that we all experience, however, they have the shared attitude, never to give up!
Sadly, we were unable to take photographs inside the International Centre nor will we be able to take photos in the Pre-Schools. Perhaps one day you may be able to visit them yourself but in the meantime I hope this at least gives some food for thought, ideas to try and a gentle push in the direction of the Reggio Emilia approach to learning.
Considering we haven't as yet officially started the programme, it has been a very busy day getting to know the town, and I have the aching legs to prove it, but it was worth every step. We were taken on a tour of the town by a group of kind volunteers, proud to show us around their town, and what better place to start than in the theatre. The group expanded to nearly 400 teachers and educators who have travelled from all around the world to be here. I have connected with people from America, Australia, Turkey, Belgium (and Derby)! Here is a glimpse of where it all happens.
The only theatre curtain in the world designed and made by Children.
A great spot to watch both children and adults dare each other to risk the walk through the fountain, they didn't all make it out dry!
This sculpture depicts the struggle both during and after WWII, which the people of Reggio Emilia went through before adopting there unique and inspiring approach to learning. Look carefully at the faces.
Leaving Leicester city centre at 2am on a Friday night, now that was an experience in itself! After a short stop in Amsterdam (see photo above) I've seen enough planes for one day that I'm glad to be on solid ground and within falling distance of a bed. Oh, yes, I am now officially in Reggio Emila, did I mention it's 19° here? Here's a picture to prove it and give you a little flavour of the town.
We will be touring the town tomorrow, but so far I've met several teachers who are attending the programme and have already been adopting the Reggio approach in their schools. They all seem to love their jobs and hold outstanding ofsted reports, must be doing something right. Till the morrow.


Since most IVF/ICSI programs superovulate patients to grow many eggs, there are often many embryos. Since the risk of multiple pregnancies increases with the number of embryos transferred , many patients are left with "spare" or supernumerary embryos. It is now also possible to freeze these embryos and store them in liquid nitrogen. These stored embryos can then be used later for the same patient – so that she can have another embryo transfer cycle done without having to go through superovulation and egg collection all over again. Moreover, since this embryo transfer is done in a "natural" cycle (when she is not taking any hormone injections) some doctors believe the receptivity of the uterus to the embryos is better. For women with irregular menstrual cycles, frozen embryo transfer can also be done in a " simulated natural cycle", in which the endometrium is primed to maximize its receptivity to the embryos by using exogenous estrogens and progesterone. we encourage our patients to freeze and store their supernumerary embryos, rather than discard them. Freezing is very cost-effective, since transferring frozen-thawed embryos is much less expensive than starting a new cycle, so that it serves as a useful "insurance policy" in case pregnancy does not occur. However, since it is worthwhile freezing only good quality embryos, the option of freezing is a "bonus" which is available to only about 30% of all IVF/ICSIpatients. About half of all embryos frozen survive the freezing -thaw process. It is reassuring to know that the risk of defects is not increased as a result of freezing. These frozen embryos can be stored for as long as is needed – even for many years. When they are in liquid nitrogen, at a temperature of -1960C, they are in a state of suspended animati on, and all metabolic activity at this low temperature stops, so that a frozen embryo is like Sleeping Beauty!
Once stored, embryos can be used by the couple during a later treatment cycle removed from storage. These options should only be undertaken after considerable discussion and written consent from the parties concerned.


This week we'll be starting our Habits of Grace sermon series looking at the practices and habits that allow us to grow in and enjoy our relationship with God. Gary Aston will be preaching this week from Ephesians 2:1-10.
It is by grace we have been saved, through faith and this is not from ourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast.
Grace Alone (Dustin Kensrue): A song celebrating the grace shown to us in Christ. A reminder that it is only by grace we're saved.
Shine into our Night (Sovereign Grace): A song that confesses to God that we so often turn away from him. A plea that God would shine his light into our darkness and that we'd see his glory.

Overview

Autobreadcrumbs build breadcrumbs for a view using its url to find other views the url goes through.

Crumb principle is to link a crumb title to an url name. You can't add a crumb that is not related to an url name.

There are three way to define crumbs:

* In the initial crumb dictionnary ``settings.AUTOBREADCRUMBS_TITLES``;
* At project level in a crumb module that will be loaded from defined Python path in ``settings.AUTOBREADCRUMBS_ROOT_CRUMB``;
* Per application with a crumb module in your application enabled from ``settings.INSTALLED_APPS``;

The first way is a simple dictionnary to populate. The other ways use Python modules that will directly manage crumbs using the registry interface.

When crumbs are defined, they need to be discovered so they can be loaded to populate registry.

Finally the template context processor is in charge to resolve breadcrumbs for current ressource (a view instance) and push resolved datas in template context.

Example
*******

With following main ``urls.py``:

.. sourcecode:: python

    from django.conf.urls import include, url
    from django.views.generic.base import TemplateView

    urlpatterns = [
        url(r'^$', TemplateView.as_view(
            template_name="page.html"
        ), name='home'),

        url(r'^foo/$', TemplateView.as_view(
            template_name="page.html"
        ), name='foo'),

        url(r'^foo/bar/$', TemplateView.as_view(
            template_name="page.html"
        ), name='bar'),
    ]

Following settings:

.. sourcecode:: python

    AUTOBREADCRUMBS_TITLES = {
        'home': 'Home',
    }
    # Assume your django project is a 'project/' directory
    AUTOBREADCRUMBS_ROOT_CRUMB = 'project.crumbs'

And following ``crumbs.py`` at project root:

.. sourcecode:: python

    from autobreadcrumbs.registry import breadcrumbs_registry
    from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy

    breadcrumbs_registry.update({
        'foo': 'Foo',
        'bar': ugettext_lazy("Bar"),
    })

The view at ``/foo/bar/`` will resolve current ressource is passing through url names *home*, *foo* and finally *bar*.

This will lead to breadcrumbs: ::

    Home > Foo > Bar

You can see usage of ``ugettext_lazy`` that can be used to store translation string for your titles if needed.

Chris Brown is the entertainer everyone loves to hate.
From his constant run-ins with the law, to his lothario ways, Breezy makes headlines for more bad than good. But we're honest enough to admit we love to watch him perform.
Chris hit a freestyle last month to Future's "March Madness" and it reminded us why we still love him. Despite his bad boy persona, he's super talented.
Check out the 5 performances that prove he's a hybrid mix between Michael Jackson and Bobby Brown.
2011 Video Music Awards
This is possibly Chris' best award show performance. He danced for nearly the entire performance and even flew out into the crowd and continued dancing! Even Jay Z was forced to give him props for this.
2014 Soul Train Awards
Chris Brown returned to the Soul Train Awards last year and performed a medley of his nearly ten year career. We don't like that he ended the performance with "Loyal" in front of a large audience of women but everything else was amazing.
BET Awards 2010- Michael Jackson Tribute
The 2010 BET Awards show was definitely Chris' comeback performance. BET dedicated the 2009 BET Awards to celebrating the life of Michael Jackson but with the Rihanna assault happening a mere four month before the show, Chris was not invited to participate. BET invited Chris to perform the next year and it was simply magical.
2015 BET Awards
The BET Awards might as well be called the Chris Brown awards. Every year Breezy performs at least twice during the show. This year was no exception. Chris not only hit the stage to perform his own medley of songs but was also on stage with Diddy. The boy sure can dance.
2013 Billboard Music Awards
While this isn't Chris' best performance vocally, the choreographer and set design definitely make up for. He hit the stage at the Billboard Awards to perform the hit "Fine China" and the infusion of dance and martial arts definitely made this one of Chris' standout performances. Can we get some more performances like this?
We'll never forget his assault on Rihanna, but we're still rooting for him.

Unisa law student named top essayist
Gilbert Phindile Kato (right), winner of the Pius Langa South African Law Reform Commission Legal Essay Writing Competition, shaking hands with his supervisor, Nzumbululo Silas Siphuma, from the Department of Jurisprudence in the College of Law.
The South African Law Reform Commission (SALRC), in conjunction with prize sponsors Juta Law, hosted the 2018 Annual Legal Essay Writing Competition Awards ceremony on Friday 6 September 2019 at the Centurion Hotel in Pretoria. The 2018 edition of the competition was in honour of the legacy of the late Chief Justice Pius Langa. The SALRC Legal Essay Writing Competition encourages critical legal writing by Bachelor of Law (LLB) and Master of Law (LLM) students across all South African universities, while generating new ideas for law reform. These ideas should be aligned to South Africa's priorities as a developmental state and be aimed at keeping the law abreast of developments in society and in tune with the needs of South Africa's diverse population and national policy priorities.
During the awards ceremony, Gilbert Phindile Kato, LLM student at Unisa and a candidate attorney at Webber Wentzel Attorneys, was announced the winner of the LLM category. Kato's legal essay entitled "Moving away from binary system", received the highest score from the panel of judges composed of independent professors and doctors of law from various South African universities. Kato wrote the legal essay under the supervision of Nzumbululo Silas Siphuma, who is a senior lecturer in the Department of Jurisprudence at Unisa's College of Law (CLAW).
Kato's achievements date back to early 2017, when he worked closely with Siphuma during the 2017 Unisa Moot Court Competition, where Siphuma and his colleagues at CLAW and the Unisa Law Clinic, trained Moot court participants from the Pretoria region. At the 2017 Unisa Inter-regional Moot Court Competition finals, Kato won the prize for Best Oralist and assisted the Pretoria Region Moot Court team to secure two more awards.
Also present at the event was Unisa's Principal and Vice-Chancellor, Prof Mandla Makhanya, who congratulated Kato for raising the bar, shaping futures and leading change.
CLAW has the largest footprint on the continent, with the highest number of student enrolments on the continent and a significant market share across the globe.

Report assault over failure to pay €10,000
He complained about threatening to kill him, then attacking him and hitting him with kicks and punches. According to the allegations, he had to hand over more than 10,000 euros, money in turn tied to unemployment benefits. During the hearing, however, the defense raised several inconsistencies in its account. The Court of Nocera Inferiore acquitted three people, Pascual Avalon, Alfonso Manzilla, and Salvatore Pecoraro, of the crime of attempted extortion.
The facts range from 2013 to 2014. For the three, there was also an aggravating circumstance of behaving mafia-style. The prosecution demanded 7 years imprisonment. The investigation began after the complaint of the victim, Noser, who said he was first threatened with phone calls and threatening letters, and then physically assaulted. According to the indictment, the 45-year-old – the aggrieved party in the proceedings – obtained unemployment after "fictitious employment (with the payment of relevant contributions) by the sole owner" of Avalon, one of the three defendants. However, for this unemployment benefit, the three would have demanded a payment of €10,000. The amount the victim refused to pay. On November 26, 2014, according to investigations, the three attacked Nocerino in the entrance hall of his house, with kicks, punches and slaps. Raid to force him to cash out. One of the three was also armed. The victim had a bruised face with a broken nose, scratches on the chest and hematoma, as well as various bruises on the legs and fingers of one hand. All were judged curable, according to a medical report, within 25 days. Investigation documents also mentioned that at least two of the three defendants attempted to run over the victim with a car, also at that time. Seeing the man's resistance to not giving up, the three decided to punish him.

Instead, the defense – attorneys Andrea Fagetto, Silvio Calabrese and Bonaventura Carrara – showed many inconsistencies in the merchant's story, compared to what he had announced to the police during the investigation phase. We'll have to wait for the court's reasons to understand the judges' reasoning. According to the defense team's objections, the man modified his account several times, denied and then confirmed, for example, that he knew one of the defendants. Then he denied that he was aware of his employment by that company, contrary to the elements that indicated an agreement between the latter and the owner to divide the unemployment. Which was no more than the money demanded by one of the accused. Moreover, thanks to handwriting experience, it was established that the threatening letter sent to the victim was written by the same aggressor. The judges decided to acquit and drop the accusation hypothesis.

The plot explains what is happening in the game, and why. It is unknown to the player, but fragments of it can be discovered, and concluded from texts, quests and events.
In the longlasting struggle between the Creators and the Ancients, a horror has been unleashed into the world by the former that they themselves may not be able to control: the Kreegan. Originally they were restricted to their home world, but now they have received the power to travel through space and void, and so they did. As hive beings, now they are multiplying everywhere, drawn to the Ancient's technology and wrecking it wherever they find it.
Many centuries ago, the Ancients started a vital experiment on a planet named Colony, the 'Composite Orbital Learning Opportunity Network Yielder', in a remote part of the known universe. Instead of the customary single Tree of Life, rare and precious as they are, a good number of them were planted closely together in the soil. The effect of this abundance on this new, computed world was an unrivaled growth of epics, magic and miracles, and of heroes that learned to master them, where normally these things would be rare and far apart.
Eventually, these heroes were meant to test the magic of the Creators themselves. In the beginning, the inhabitants of Colony had access to the Ancients' technology through the Heavenly Forges, that served to balance the magic and thereby assure their loyalty to the Ancients. This age was called the Time of Wonders by the Colonials, who viewed the magic of self and elements as normal rather than the technology from the forges.
When the Kreegan cut off this section of the universe by isolating the local Wire node, the Ancients' control of Colony diminished and the inevitable happened: a rebellion, and a breakdown of the forges. With the balance gone, the three directional occults, the powerful path magics, were developed ahead of schedule, and religions blossomed. This allowed for unwanted manifestations of the Creators on Colony in the shape of local gods, such as Yanmir, Ishtar and Ceth, and similar shadows. Still, the experiment did not fail, as it continued to produce great stories and the heroes that played in them. And from the local Wire node the Ancients continued to monitor, even as the seed ships that found themselves stuck en route to other parts of the universe dumped their contents on artificial worlds that also needed attention.
Although the Heavenly Forges did no longer function, traces of the Ancients' technology remained on Colony. For a long time, this outpost of the Ancients was not considered an interesting target, but now a first scouting vessel of the Kreegan has been seen to arrive. A Sheltem unit is dispatched to deal with the Kreegan scout before he can report back, but as it arrives through a portal from one of the artificial world, a basic flaw in the programming of this type of unit causes something to go wrong. Again.
Influenced by the presence of so much magic, a simple, straightforward task is turned into a grand design, and in the mind of the Sheltem his cover story becomes the reality. He is Thelmes, renegade prophet, who has to gather followers for the great sacrifice that is the only way to stop the Kreegan threat.
A Corak unit is sent after him to make the necessary repairs, but the Corak finds itself with a much harder task than expected. As it appears, the actions of the Sheltem are intertwined with epics and prophecies that are part of the experiment of Colony, more specifically through the contents of the all too powerful Book of Ceth, and the Corak cannot intervene directly. Instead, it has to try and meddle with the plan of the Seers that has already been set into motion. So it sets himself up as the C'Orak, honorary title for the leader of the Orak vampire clan, followers of Ceth, deep in the Typhon Expanse, and waits for his chance to steer the Seers' party of heroes in the right direction.
By accident, Morglin Ironfist, a young boy of noble birth, observes the Corak as it enters the Inner Sanctum and does not return. He follows in after the Corak, and stumbles upon the gate to Colony, where he appears in the Abandoned Temple right at the time when the Seers' party of heroes is searching the place for the Power Crystals. It is his arrival and later return that will, through a long chain of events, provide Colony with the one chance to escape its destruction more than a century after.
As the party of heroes collects the chapters of the Book of Ceth, and listens to the ramblings of Sheltem, they will eventually learn this, and know that they must do what they can to give these events the time that is needed to allow them to happen while keeping the experiment alive. The fate of Colony is in their hands. But they are not quite the Ancients' puppets, and can choose differently if they so desire. In Terrax they will meet Prince Daglathor, the Kreegan scout in disguise, who will try and persuade them to make a mistake.
Meanwhile, the party's loyalty is swept one way or the other as they have dealings with the Churches of Sun, Moon, and Stars, that all have plans of their own. Sun and Moon are seeking dominion over each other, by taking advantage of the chaos caused by the renegade prophet, while the weakened Church of the Stars appears to be in league with the Seers. Will the party be forced to choose between Sun and Moon? Or will they remain true to the Seers? The outcome is not carved in stone.

Marca give their take on the Denis Suarez situation and it's a calm look which sets the scene of what's happening.
Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu is said to be negotiating with Arsenal and has assured Suarez that he'll find a way to make a transfer happen in the winter window.
However, as has been covered for a few days now, there's a 'money problem'.
Marca explain Arsenal have told Barcelona they have no funds to make a full transfer in the January market.
Barca aren't prepared to give their player away and estimate they can get between ten and fifteen million Euros.
That obviously doesn't sound a lot in the current transfer market, and especially when compared to what Everton paid for Lucas Digne and Yerry Mina in the summer, but it's still too much for the Gunners who are pretty described as pleading poverty.
Arsenal are the 'only' club who can take Suarez and Unai Emery 'awaits' the player's arrival.
Given all of that, it's explained a loan with a compulsory purchase option seems the 'most viable option'.

Please make sure your child is happy to join our program, as we do not refund fees.
Please note: all sports have an inherent risk of injury, and gymnastics is no exception. The learning of and participation in the sport of gymnastics, by its very nature, contains an element of risk. Whilst all due care and caution, is undertaken to ensure the safety and well being of gymnasts under the care of Star-Mites, no liability is accepted for injures sustained whilst under that care.
2 km speed limit in car park.
Misuse of equipment will not be accepted.
The Club Level's program is a program administered and overseen by Gymnastics W.A.
The program gradually increases the degree of commitment for each gymnast.
Emphasis in the lower levels is on fun and skill development.
We believe that learning in a fun atmosphere is important for the young gymnast to develop a love for the sport. As a gymnast progresses, technique is continually emphasized and more importance on training skills is added.
Badge testing is the system we use to evaluate the progress made by our gymnasts.
Badge testing is NOT a competition.
Badge testing is done in front of one judge, the skill performed will be given a pass or needs more work evaluation, gymnasts may be asked to repeat the skill by the judge.
Gymnasts will usually begin in level 1 or 2.
Once they have achieved their badge they can then begin working on routines to compete at that level.
ie. A gymnasts achieves his/her level 1, 2 badge he/she is now eligible to compete in a competition at that level.
Competitions are not badge testing but an event where the gymnast competes against other gymnasts in his/her level, performing routines on all apparatus in front of a panel of judges. The gymnast will receive a score out of 15.00 depending on how well they perform their routines and may win ribbons and medals.
N.B. After achieving a badge not all gymnasts will have enough confidence to compete so will not always be entered by their coach.
All entry fees Must be paid in advance in order for the gymnast to compete.
Any gymnast not having paid will not be entered into that competition.
Request for refund for entry fees can only be given if accompanied by a doctors certificate.
The coach has the final say as to whom competes based on their opinion of the degree of preparedness for the competition.

A ride along Claude Rd, with iconic Mt Roland in the background. We go out to Gowrie Park and Cethana, and then back to Sheffield via Staverton and the Promised Land. 41km, 625m total ascent, all sealed.
We may stop for coffee at Cethana (Round Hill Coffee has been recommended!), to caffeine-load for the ride up to Staverton.
With most of the hard work behind us at the 27km mark, a stopover at Tasmazia's pancake parlour will make for a nice lunch break before the mostly downhill run back to the big smoke (Sheffield!).
There is an easier alternative available on the day: Sheffield to Tasmazia and return (28km, 257m ascent).
Meeting Point: Sheffield, in the main public car park located behind the IGA Supermarket in the main street. (Map). The entrance is off High Street just before the Town Hall.
Time: Be ready to depart at 11am.

Oscar Isaac on the Challenges of 'Moon Knight'
Marvel Studios Moon Knight has captured the attention and imagination of fans, many of whom aren't entirely familiar with the character's struggles with dissociative identity disorder. The character, first introduced in 1975, has evolved over the years into one or Marvel Comics most complex heroes and, according to star Oscar Isaac, who will bring the character to life in the upcoming streaming series, it was that taking on the challenge of that complexity that attracted him to the role.
What I love most about this thing is that it's an exploration of a mind that doesn't know itself. A human being that doesn't know his own brain. I found that really moving: what the mind is capable of as far as survival. But the workload was massive: the technical challenge of embodying these different characters, physically, the way I manifest my body… It required a lot of energy.
So far, through a trailer and the Super Bowl TV spot, we've seen Isacc inhabit the role of Steven Grant most of the time, with only a quick mention of the character's original identity, Marc Spector. The series, however, promises to see "Grant" unravel the mystery of his true identity in what Isaac called "the first legitimate Marvel character-study since Iron Man", and the many twists and turns that it'll take along the way are sure to keep fans engaged from week to week. While the character has existed for more than 40 years in the comics, it seems as though Marvel Studios has created a rather original take on the character, meaning that even long-time comic readers may find themselves guessing, which seems to be exactly what Isaac hoped for because, as he said himself, he saw it as a chance to do "something really fucking nutty on a major stage" and there is no stage more major than the MCU at the moment.

Feast of Tongues: Cannibal by Safiya Sinclair
Cannibal opens with the words, "Have I forgotten it— / wild conch-shell dialect, / black apostrophe curled / tight on my tongue?" and the answer is a resounding— no, Sinclair is in full possession of all the muscle memory of her tongue. She uses this powerful muscle to create a lavish feast of language that crosses the ocean from her native Jamaica to Virginia and back again in one the most impressive debut collections I have ever read.
I began following Sinclair's work after I read the group of her poems which won the 2015 Boston Review Poetry Contest, all of which are included in Cannibal. I was excited when Cannibal was chosen as winner of the Prairie Schooner Book Prize in 2016 by Kwame Dawes, and even more excited to hear Sinclair read from her collection at the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference. I remember she read "Portrait of Eve as the Anaconda," a ravishing poem that allows Eve's desires to pour forth in such a torrent Adam and God are rendered irrelevant in comparison. By pointing out the way women have been demonized for their sexuality for millennia, Sinclair manages to reclaim Eve's image:
Let me have it. This maiden-head primeaval
schemes what ovule of cruel invention;
the Venus-trap, the meses.
And how many ways to announce this guilt: whore's nest
of ague, supernova, wild stigmata.
There again is the word "wild," and yet though Sinclair's poems achieve that jouissance that Hélène Cixous wrote about, writing that is born from the hot blood and feverish womb of the woman who is unafraid to speak through her body thus threatening the patriarchy, Sinclair's poems are also constructed with a marvelously deft hand. Going back to the opening line in the poem "Home:" "Have I forgotten it," the poet uses iambic trimeter to alert us to her formal tendencies. This poem also uses the double "ll" to great effect, with words like shell, wall, full, skull, small, still, call cascading down the poem, a detail that might have been lost if we weren't already alerted to the prosodic elements of the poem. The sound of the "l" here is in full effect, lulling us back to our own memories of home.
This attention to language is admirably present throughout Cannibal. Sinclair's language luxuriates in its own vowel clusters and in the ticking of tongue against teeth; she locates all the complex sensuality hiding within the mouth, and brings it to light. Her rhymes, when she uses them are remarkable: "the arm / you broke reset and broke again. Caribbean;" "No field guide to advise you to dress for fire, / to bring a thicker whip. / That what you thought was simple sparrow / was Jamaican grassquit."
Sinclair divides Cannibal into five sections: the first looks back at her upbringing in Jamaica, the second confronts a racist south in Virginia, the third section deals directly with female embodiment, the forth with the way home never quite leaves the body, and the fifth is a single poem that reinvents Shakespeare's character Caliban. Sinclair opens each section with a quote from Shakespeare's The Tempest and closes the collection with a poem that creatively incorporates phrases in reference to or spoken by Caliban, resulting in not only a haunting conclusion but a cohesive collection. Caliban's name is almost an anagram of the word "cannibal" which is ultimately where the word "Caribbean" originated. Sinclair interrogates this colonial branding of her homeland, while exposing and exploring her own complex relationship with Jamaica, and her family. And though the entirety of Cannibal is a wonder, Safiya Sinclair is at her most dazzling when returning to her archipelago of memories and evoking the landscape her youth.

Brunch: I'm brunching out this week at Reno in Logan Square. This is one of my favorite brunch spots in Chicago, it's both reasonable and delicious. Plus, unlike most brunch spots you can usually find a seat though it might be at a communal table or at the bar. I love ordering their Hook sandwich, here on an everything bagel with chive cream cheese, lightly smoked salmon, cucumber, onions and avocado, and paired with one of their amazing Italian sodas.


It has been just under three weeks since I began focusing on Honours. Progress so far has been reasonably steady -- a burst of productivity followed by periods of debugging. It seems that the parser kicks and bucks like a wild stallion at each of my modifications.
Whilst all the exams, assessments and courses are out of the way, I still have many distractions. I'm balancing on a knife's edge between happily exploring my recent new or renewed interests and losing focus on Honours. Between the daily two hour train trip, catching up with friends, cooking, and general down time, I'm far less productive than I feel I need to be. Whilst I may be making a bit more progress than other Honours students, that doesn't really justify it.
I have successfully played on the knife edge before, I just need to make sure I don't slip.
The process of implementing the shift-reduce parsing algorithm in the C&C framework was surprisingly simple, if you ignore all of the various bugs or inconsistencies that pop up. Apart from a few sharp edges, the C&C framework handled all of the complexities that arose from CCG (combinators, type-raising, lexical rules and so on), each of which would have taken me far longer to implement myself. This also gives me the chance to use the C&C chart parser as a reference implementation against the shift-reduce parser, which makes certain bugs far easier to diagnose (though not necessarily any faster to fix). The code is by no means artistic, but it serves the purpose well enough. There are a few areas that I'd like to go back and clean up from a purely aesthetic point of view, but code refactoring is likely premature and would serve little practical purpose.
What has bit me is some of the internal design intricacies of the parser. Even though I've worked with the parser before, it's a far more complicated beast than you'd ever hope to imagine. The documentation is lacking, but it's still significantly better than many other parsers and academic projects. Given that, it's important to note that the documentation is well augmented by the people around the lab. If you have a problem, chances are that someone has already encountered it and they're happy to help me out!
The most annoying problem I had was a "loopy stack" whilst implementing a core piece of the shift-reduce algorithm. The naive shift-reduce algorithm is far less efficient than CKY chart parsing as it doesn't take any advantage of caching. The graph-structured stack allows you to perform caching with the shift-reduce algorithm, and is in fact related to chart parsing in many ways. Strangely, it hasn't been used much in practice, even though the speed advantages it offers are huge. It was proposed in the early 90s and only recently has it resurfaced in the literature.
How the hell was I getting a loopy stack?
I spent a great deal of time checking my assumptions, modifying/refactoring my code, following pointers into the abyss and generally going mad. Finally, after far too long, I came across the problem. The C&C chart parser does a bit of magic to help speed up parsing: it re-uses the chart. That's perfectly fine and reasonable, but only if you're expecting it! As the chart was being re-used, previous structures were accidentally finding themselves being actively used again.
You may ask why those objects still exists -- shouldn't they have been deleted to prevent memory leaks? The C&C parser does another trick that influences this however -- memory pools. Memory pools allow incredibly fast allocation of objects. De-allocation of these small objects is in fact far slower than just reclaiming the memory pool later on. As such, none of the code does a traditional delete when the destructor is called, resulting in a far faster parser (with millions and millions of these small objects created a second) but a quite sinister bug!
Stupid loopy stacks causing me madness..!
With the loopy stacks delooped however, the shift-reduce algorithm took advantage of caching and hit similar speeds to that of the default chart algorithm.
As previously mentioned, I go from bursts of productivity to periods of debugging. This is the unhappy debugging period. The parser works but testing over the development corpus for the WSJ shows a loss of 6% F-score against the reference implementation. These bugs aren't easy to diagnose or fix, unfortunately, so I expect progress to be slow.
If I can fix this bug in six days, however, then I'll still be on target as far as my timeline is concerned!
