Usain Bolt parties at Melbourne nightclub

The world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt, has swapped his running spikes for dancing shoes at a nightclub in Melbourne.

Bolt flew into Melbourne’s Tullamarine Airport around 10pm Saturday ahead of his appearance at the Melbourne Cup Carnival next week, the Herald Sun reported.

He quickly made his way to Alumbra Nightclub in Docklands to shake off the jetlag.

Video that appears to have been captured by another patron that night shows the nine-time Olympic gold medallist doing some fancy footwork and waving his hands in the air.

"Lifetime experience to be near the world’s fastest man," Instagram user Amandu wrote.

The Olympic sprinter is expected to appear in the Crown Melbourne marquee at Flemington on Oaks Day, November 3.

Usain Bolt's student lover breaks silence: 'He has the body of a champion although his male parts do not match'

Brazilian student Jady Duarte, 20, shared snaps which appear to show her kissing and cuddling the sprinting sensation.

Usain Bolt spent a night of passion with a Brazilian student after wooing her by flashing his six-pack and pulling his famous 'lightning bolt' pose, she has sensationally claimed.

Jady Duarte, 20, shared snaps which appear to show her kissing and cuddling the sprinting sensation after his 30th birthday bash in Rio.

And now she has broken her silence on spending the night with the Olympic ace - claiming he persuaded her to accompany him back to the Olympic Village by using the Google Translate app.

They then allegedly made love in a small single bed, while listening to Rihanna's Work.

The pair's raunchy antics reportedly lasted over two one-hour sessions, with them enjoying drinks together in between.

The star has since returned to London, where he has been snapped surrounded by a bevy of beauties on wild nights out ever since - despite Jady claiming he had promised they would see each other again.

Gordon Robinson Who Wants To Rooting Out Crime?

I am a terminal nuisance, especially as it relates to the English language.
I believe we inherited some good from our colonial slave masters, including the Queen’s English. It’s a challenging mixture of nuance, complexity, contradiction and precision. I love Patois (Patwa). But in today’s global village, if we don’t learn English and nurture Patwa as a tourist attraction, we’ll wither and die on the vine of global trade.
Still we insist on getting the English language wrong. For example, we don’t understand the difference between ‘legend’ and ‘icon’, so we keep calling Usain Bolt a legend. But, strictly speaking, legends are dead. The word ‘legend’ describes somebody like Wyatt Earp or Rhygin. Their lives, through exaggerated storytelling over time, become more folklore than reality.
Bustamante is a legend about whom stories become more and more apocryphal:
“Busta [to a cheering crowd]: Who is your leader?
Crowd: You, Chief!
Busta: Who give you work?
Crowd; You, Chief!
Busta: Who give you bread?
Crowd; You, Chief!
Busta [a trifle carried away]: B-R-E-D, bread?
Crowd [now delirious): You, Chief!
(Sangster whispers to Busta, “Yu fahget de ‘a’, Chief”)
Busta: B-R-E-D-A, bread!”
Never happened. But it’s part of the Bustamante legend.
Thus, English gave us the expression ‘living legend’. Every now and then an icon is spoken of with such awe and admiration that, even while alive, his/her extraordinary contributions attain legendary proportions. Miss Lou was one such.
In journalism, we have a living legend in Fae Ellington (Aunty Fae to us, whippersnappers). Those of us old enough to remember the brilliance and professionalism of young Fae Ellington at the University of JBC doing ‘The Bamboo Lounge’ and then ‘Morning Ride’, despite every imaginable adversity, aren’t surprised she grew up to be the Matriarch of Jamaican Journalism. She’s one of a kind, talented, compassionate, dedicated, fluent with the spoken and written word, equally adept in English and Patwa, and knowledgeable in Jamaican music history. Aunty Fae is top-class in all.
So, when Aunty Fae engages the likes of me on Twitter and asks for my take on an important global issue, what choice do I have? This is how it began:
Fae: “What is at the root of violence across the world? Hate or insanity? Or does one fuel the other? @cnni @BBCWorld @djmillerJA Research needed.”
Me (with trepidation): “@FaeEllington @cnni @BBCWorld @djmillerJA Aunty Fae, u figet. Ongle Jahmekyan patois (oops patwa) ave a wud fi di combo. Dat wud? HINSANITY!”
Fae: “@TheTerribleTout @cnni @BBCWorld @djmillerJA Gordon, with all that's happening across the world I have thought about this time and again.”
Me (more confident): “@FaeEllington @cnni @BBCWorld @djmillerJA I'm sure Hinsanity is the product of a more fundamental formula: INSECURITY+DOGMA-EDUCATION = HATE.”
Fae: “@TheTerribleTout @cnni @BBCWorld @djmillerJA I'm with you Gordon. But seriously, where does mental illness come in? #Hate”
Me: “@FaeEllington @djmillerJA Ppl who commit atrocities usually sociopathic not mad. Add2much dogma&they believe they can make their own rules”
Fae: “@TheTerribleTout @djmillerJA Gordon, so could personality disorders be the real culprit? You remember Freddie Hickling's findings?”
I do indeed.
I’ve been writing forever that we’re tackling violent crime as if we don’t want a reduction. Crime must be tackled at its root, and crime detection is more important than solving crime. I’ve called for a modernised police force, including comprehensive computerisation; proper training in IT and lateral thinking, and modern surveillance equipment.
I make bold to say that violent crime will NOT be reduced by more patrols, curfews, action squads and draconian legislation. Not now. Not ever. NEVER! Just being alive in 2016 is a thinking person’s occupation and21st-century solutions are all technology driven.

Key Factor

In 2011, Freddie Hickling and Vanessa Paisley conducted a scientific study that found a 40 per cent personality disorder rate in Jamaica (highest international rates 15 per cent). The Hickling-Paisley report insisted this was a key factor in Jamaica’s high crime rate. Hickling opined that if public policy didn’t change in line with the report, “then we’re doomed to repeating the same mistakes of the last 100 years or since Independence”. Governments thumbed their figurative noses at Hickling and Paisley and merrily continued applying insane formulas, producing more violent crime.
Hickling and Paisley identified three key factors that contribute to personality disorder: power-management struggles, psychosexual dysfunction, and dependency issues.
Power management (PM) is one of Jamaica’s most lacking skills (observe any of us in uniform and you’ll understand). Yet ‘power’ is Jamaicans’ most-sought-after ideal. Undereducation ensures most Jamaicans’ inability to handle power and contributes significantly to the dysfunction of persons who achieve even the smallest smidgen of ‘power’. They prioritise their own goals and desires above those of others, ignore other people's perspectives, disregard other people's feelings, and treat ‘underlings’ with scorn and contempt. Their days are spent plotting how to preserve their power and they become aggressive when it’s threatened.
Psychosexual dysfunction (PD) is the inability of a person to experience sexual arousal or to achieve sexual satisfaction under appropriate circumstances. This is caused by physical disorder or, more commonly, psychological problems. Imagine this combined with PM struggles. The need to preserve power, mixed with the struggle to satisfy an inappropriate sexual desire, is a potent recipe for violence.
Dependency issues usually arise from addiction problems with alcohol, drugs, relationships (stalking), sex, work, food or gambling. Family members with these problems develop self-destructive tendencies; learn to repress emotions; and disregard their own needs. They become ‘survivors’. They develop behaviours that help them deny, ignore, or avoid difficult emotions. They detach themselves. They don’t talk. They don’t touch. They don’t confront. They don’t feel. They don’t trust. Before you know it, combined with PM or PD, voila, Ted Kaczynski.
Michael H. Stone, of Columbia College of Physicians & Surgeons, New York, produced an excellent paper on personality disorders and crime (2007) in which he postulated the majority of persons committing violent crime exhibit a personality disorder. He found the disorder could be restricted to one of those described in the Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), or a complex combo as was propounded by Hickling and Paisley.
However, Stone allowed for the possibility that the personality of certain violent offenders may not be in DSM, such as psychopathic, sadistic, hypomanic, explosive-irritable, passive-aggressive or depressive.
Stone also propounded that, while the connection between personality configuration and crime type may be quite close, as in the case of mass murder or serial sexual homicide, a single murder, especially within the family, may be committed by persons of any personality type.
He wrote:
“One way of understanding personality disorders, in general, is to view them as habitual dispositions toward the interpersonal world that limit one’s options in relation to stressful situations and thus lower adaptiveness. From this perspective, violence, intimidation, unlawful imprisonment and the like represent desperate choices from a (presumably) seriously compromised menu of possible solutions. To take but one example, the jealous man who, in the context of a deteriorating marriage, kills his intent-upon-divorce wife, ‘so that no one else can have her’, is operating within an all-or-none schema.
“According to this schema, a man ‘owns’ his wife totally; the ‘crime’ (in his eyes) of defection is punishable by death; killing her thus constitutes what sociologist Katz has characterised as (from the vantage point of the murderer) righteous slaughter. The more adaptive solution - that both he and his wife might in the long run be better off separating and ultimately finding partners with whom each could be more compatible - is not available to the [husband’s] seriously narrowed mindset. This leaves only the option of uxoricide, which the husband pictures as ‘justified homicide’, but which the community rightly appraises as murder.”
As I write, Jamaica is in another cycle of panic about crime. All sorts of violent and repressive ‘solutions’ are being suggested, including states of emergency; curfews; patrols; and restrictions on bail. Yawn. Been there, done that. I was glad to hear the commissioner promise more ‘cerebral’ solutions, but the bottom line is that it takes cash to care and modern police forces need to be properly funded to acquire personnel and equipment required for 2016. Governments won’t spend what’s essential to reduce crime. With that agenda, calls for resignations of water-carriers-in-baskets are absurd and solve nothing.
There you have it, Aunty Fae. Tell me, does the Jamaica Constabulary Force so much as employ a single personality profiler?
Peace and love.

Usain Bolt coasts to victory in first 100m race in over nine months despite nearly falling out of blocks

Usain Bolt delivered an ominous statement in his first competitive race for 9½ months, coasting to victory in the 100 metres at Jamaica’s Racers Grand Prix in 9.88 seconds despite almost falling out of the blocks. But his satisfaction was tempered by the controversy engulfing his compatriot Nesta Carter, whose failed drugs test could deny him a historic ‘triple-triple’ of Olympic sprint titles at this summer’s Games in Rio de Janeiro.

While Bolt is pursuing a hat-trick of 100m, 200m and 4x100m triumphs for the third time, the feat is in jeopardy after Carter, his sprint relay team-mate in Beijing and London, tested positive for the banned stimulant methylhexanamine during a re-examination of 454 samples from the 2008 Games. “It’s heartbreaking, because over the years you have worked hard to be win gold medals and to be a champion,” Bolt said.

“Things happen in life, so if I need to give back my gold medal, it’s not a problem for me. I can’t tell what he’s going through, but it must be hard and frustrating, because I’m not too pleased about the situation. It’s rough for track and field.” The International Association of Athletics Federations changed its rules in 2003 to allow entire relay teams to be disqualified if one member was caught doping.

Bolt looked far from ecstatic at his own performance, shaking his head as he crossed the line in the second fastest time of the year. Only France’s Jimmy Vicaut, who ran 9.86sec in Montreuil, has gone faster in 2016. Bolt, for whom this year’s Olympics are to be his last, was stricken by a familiar poor start, losing five metres on the field before surging through to beat Nickel Ashmeade by six hundredths. “I dragged my foot too hard, so it propelled me forward, and then I just tried to correct myself,” he explained. “I tried not to panic and just made my way through. The more I run, the smoother my running will become and the faster I’ll get.”

In one of the most impressive 100m fields ever assembled, Bolt, who has been on hiatus from competition since last year’s world championships in Beijing, vanquished leading rivals Yohan Blake and Asafa Powell with ease. This was only the third time all three had competed in the same race but Blake, making his comeback from persistent hamstring injuries, looked a pale imitation of his 2011 pomp, while Powell suffered his familiar psychological frailties under pressure from Bolt.

They will go head-to-head again at the Jamaican trials on June 30 but on this evidence only Justin Gatlin, who has faced problems of his own recently after rolling his ankle in training, appears capable of keeping Bolt honest in Brazil. On a cacophonous night inside the National Stadium here in Kingston – one that prompted American hurdler to call for Jamaica to be given a Diamond League meeting, saying he had “never seen an atmosphere like it” – Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce also remained on course for a third straight Olympic 100m gold by winning in 11.09.

Bogdanovich Buys Usain Bolt Tracks & Records Franchiser

Downsound Records CEO Joe Bogdanovich now owns the majority of the UsainBolt's Tracks & Records franchiser.

The long-time partner in dancehall calendar event Sting, who recently inked a deal to buy the Sumfest brand, has now purchased a 51 per cent stake in FranJam, the franchising company of the Jamaican-themed restaurant, from KLE Group.

FranJam was spun off and sold to pay off a US$650,000 ($79 million) debt owed by KLE to Bogdanovich for a loan he gave to the company in 2014 after he took on a 23 per cent stake in KLE and joined its board.

The loan initially carried an interest rate of 6.5 per cent for a period of four years and was secured by the assets of Famous Nightclub. It was renegotiated in 2015 for new terms requiring 7.9 per cent interest per annum for three years, while the nightclub located in Portmore, St Catherine, was sold this January.

KLE CEO Gary Matalon, who also heads FranJam, said the debt renegotiation was done to offset any potentially negative impact the debt might have on the company's balance sheet in 2015 while the deal to sell FranJam, which was already well advanced by then, was being finalised.

The sale and repayment of the debt valued KLE's 49 per cent stake in FranJam at $76 million, which was reflected on the company's balance sheet as investment in associate for the first quarter ending March 2016.

It also added $156 million to the company's income statement, reflecting an accounting of the combined effects of repaying the $79-million debt and the unrealised gain on the revaluation of FranJam.

Importantly, the sale of Famous in January and the repayment of the costly debt make KLE Group, which is left with Tracks and Records in Marketplace, profitable.

The restaurant posted a modest operating profit of $4 million for its first quarter, a period Matalon says has historically been the worst three months for the establishment. During the comparative quarter in 2015, the restaurant posted a $5-million operating loss.

Depreciation runs KLE around $3.6 million a quarter, so substantially eliminating finance costs by repaying the debt to Bogdanovich also bodes well for the company's profitability, especially given that better months for revenue are ahead, by Matalon's estimation.

"Last Olympics, we did $22 million in revenue," the KLE CEO told the Financial Gleaner. "Just accounting for price increases, the same amount of traffic this year could generate $29 million in revenue in August."

With a gross profit margin of 64 per cent, as was the case in the first quarter of 2016, and with depreciation, administrative and other expenses running just below $10 million a month, achieving this revenue target would translate into $9 million to the bottom line for this year's Olympics.

Tracks and Records' first franchisee is also expected to open its doors in Ocho Rios, St Ann, within eight weeks, which might be just in time for the Games where six-time Olympic gold medallist Usain Bolt plans to repeat his triple-sprint win for a third time.

However, revenue from that franchise arrangement, as with those to be established in the future, will go to FranJam. KLE then would earn a share of FranJam's profit.

In a way, the sale of the Tracks and Records franchise is similar to the approach being taken by the company for its Bessa project, which seeks to develop a property in Oracabessa, St Mary, in partnership with Sagicor Life Jamaica.

KLE is taking on a small group of investors to invest US$250,000 of the US$350,000 that the entertainment company committed to the project, while it will manage the project for an annual administration fee equal to one per cent of the invested amount by the investor group and a bonus equal to 15 per cent of the profit made by each investor. But that is if the profit exceeds the US LIBOR rate plus four per cent.

Matalon's take on the FranJam sale is that it will accelerate the pace at which the restaurant chain is expanded through franchising locally and overseas.

Franchise development means going up against operators with deep pockets, such as Yum! Brands (owner of KFC, Pizza Hut, and others), and other themed restaurants such as Outback, Chilli's and Finnegan's.

"We negotiated, with the spin-off of FranJam, that financing would become available," said Matalon. "Now we have the money needed to attack the market."

Bolt Losing Passion For Man U As Van Gaal's Tenure Drags On

Sprint mega-star Usain Bolt, who considers himself a life-long Manchester United fan, and who previously expressed a desire to play for his favourite Barclays English Premier League team after retiring from athletics, says his passion for the club is disappearing as the tenure of current dutch manager Louis van Gaal drags on.

Twenty-nine-year-old Bolt, who has dominated world sprinting with individual world records in the 100m (9.58), 200m (19.19), has announced plans to hang up his illustrious running shoes at the end of this year’s Olympic in Rio, Brazil.

Bolt was responding to a reporter following his sixth RJR Sports Foundation National Sportsman of the Year award win at The Jamaica Pegasus hotel in New Kingston, last Friday night.

“Well looking at how (Louis) van Gaal is. I don’t think I would ever want to be coached by van Gaal so I think I will put that on pause until we get a new coach,” the Manchester club.

Bolt explained to Andy Goldstein's Celebrity Reds on MUTV in November “how he once discussed the idea of a trial with former boss Sir Alex Ferguson”.

The now 74-year-old Ferguson retired as Manchester United's most successful manager in 2013 after 25 years in charge at the club.

Meanwhile, current coach van Gaal led the Netherlands to a third-place finish at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, prior to his appointment to Manchester United.

In his first season, van Gaal led United to fourth place in the UEFA Champions League football, but were eliminated.

They are currently fifth in the league, with the much-criticised Dutch manager linked with the exit door following another topsy-turvy season for the Manchester–based team.

MANCHESTER UNITED NEWS: ANTHONY MARTIAL IS PREMIER LEAGUE'S FASTEST PLAYER

Anthony Martial of Manchester United shoots from close range during the Barclays Premier League match between Liverpool and Manchester United at Anfield, January 17. According to official statistics, Martial is the league's joint-fastest player.

Is that blinding blur on the Old Trafford pitch a bird? A plane? A Train à Grande Vitesse?

No, it’s Anthony Martial, Manchester United’s teenage striking sensation.

During the 3-3 draw with Newcastle United at St. James’ Park on January 12, Martial was clocked by the EA Sports Performance Index running at 35.4km/h over five seconds—or 22mph.

Try Newsweek for only $1.25 per week

That equals the record for this English Premier League season held by Jamie Vardy, the Leicester City striker.

Martial’s speed is startlingly impressive given that a footballer will never run in a completely straight line, as a track sprinter does, with short bursts of pace followed by rapid changes of direction prioritized.

Usain Bolt, in smashing his own 100 meters world record at the World Championships in Athletics in Berlin in 2009, was timed at an average of 23.5mph or 37.8km/h over 9.58 seconds with a top speed of 30mph.

Neither, of course, has anything on the cheetah, which can reach 110-120km/h or 68.3 to 74.5mph over distances of less than 500 meters. In August 2012, a female of the species called Sarah broke her own land speed record for an animal, running 100 meters in 5.95 seconds. Her skill with a football remains as yet unknown and untapped.

And Martial will not be rivaling the peregrine falcon anytime soon, the bird of prey that is believed to be able to reach 240mph (386.2km/h) when it swoops down towards the ground for prey.

But the confirmation of the Frenchman’s speed will be enough to catch your average Premier League defender on the hop.
