The Genuine Beer Blog: Crew IPA !!!
Hey Everyone, Sorry there hasn't been a post in a couple of days, Been really busy, however I am now back and bring you a Great beer review this evening, I hope you all enjoy :) !!!
Crew IPA is an absolutely fantastic beer, with its deep, full flavours and high hop content. This is a beer that has a strong hops flavour, bringing with it a great bitterness, however this beer is not overly bitter and has a slight sweetness to balance it out. The flavour of this beer is not overpowering at all, its just bursting with character and flavour. There is also a slight citrus note to this beer, which helps to give it that refreshing quality that is a great attribute in my eyes for a beer. Crew IPA is a really smooth beer, with little carbonation. If you are a lover of IPA's or other strong hopped beers then this would definitely be a beer that I would recommend to you. This is a seriously good beer, packed full of rich, deep flavours. There is also a slight bitter after taste to this beer, which gives it a moreish quality, making you want to go back for more and more. I cannot recommend this beer highly enough, on the whole a really fantastic beer, bursting with flavour. This is definitely one to try, so get out there and buy yourself one, I promise you won't be disappointed.


On Sunday we rode the dilapidated Chinese trolley 13 kilometers outside of Kathmandu to the ancient city of Bhaktapur, capital of the whole Kathmandu Valley from the 14th to the 16th century. Bhaktapur means "city of devotees." Medieval in feel, it is chocked full of temples, elaborate carved wooden window screens, narrow streets crowded by burnished buildings, and souvenir shops bulging with remarkable handicrafts. The city is known for its famous peacock window, perhaps the most famous window of all (limited competition for the title most famous window), and for potters' square where men rev-up giant potter's wheels with a stick and rows of pots are set out to dry in the sun. And to top it off, cars are virtually banned from the old section of the city. Without comment, we would like to share a few urban images with you, a kind of Christmas card, before heading off to meet Kelsey in Bangkok for the holidays.

Q: Postfix virtual mailbox - mail rejected if 'myhostname' is not 'localhost' I'm using this howto to setup virtual mailboxes for non-linux accounts using postfix.
This part of my main.cnf:
myhostname = localhost
mydomain = aviacao.pt
myorigin = aviacao.pt
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8
mailbox_size_limit = 0
virtual_mailbox_domains = aviacao.pt
virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail
virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/vmaps
virtual_minimum_uid = 1000
virtual_uid_maps = static:5000
virtual_gid_maps = static:5000
relay_host =
recipient_delimiter = +
inet_interfaces = all
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550

This works, but only when myhostname is set to localhost. If I set myhostname to aviacao.pt, it won't receive emails:

550 5.1.1 : Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table

Why is this the case? The howto even says that setting the myhostname as localhost can cause problems:

Using localhost as myhostname can cause problems since this variable is used       > in the EHLO message the server sends.

Is this the best way? Will problems will this cause?

A: Set myhostname back to "aviacao.pt"
Add the line:
mydestination = aviacao.pt, localhost, localhost.localdomain

Chardonnay is a dry, white wine that originated in the Burgundy region of France. It's typically made from Chardonnay grapes which are also used to produce Sauvignon Blanc wines. Wine experts often refer to Chardonnay as "the grape with the most complex flavor profile."
Is Chardonnay sweet? Chardonnay is not always sweet. In fact, many chardonnays are quite dry. The level of sweetness in a chardonnay is determined by the winemaker and can range from off-dry to very sweet. The grape itself is not particularly sweet, so the wine's final sweetness level is usually due to the addition of sugar during fermentation or through aging in oak barrels.
Other Chardonnay grape varietals can be sweeter, but they typically have the grape variety's name on the label.
What Does Chardonnay Taste Like?
Chardonnay is a dry, acidic white wine with "crisp" or "oaky" tasting notes. It's generally considered an easy-to-drink and food-friendly varietal, but like all wines, it has its unique flavor profile depending on region and winemaking style.
Why Do People Think Chardonnay Is Sweet?
There are a few reasons why Chardonnay is sometimes perceived as sweeter than other wines, even though they're not. The most popular reason (no pun intended) is that many white wines and rosés worldwide have sugar added to them, and Chardonnay often gets conflated with those wines because of the popularity of white wine. Chardonnay is also often bottled in a sweeter style, so even when un-sweetened, the perception of sweetness can remain with consumers.
A possible reason is that there are different types of sweetness in the wine. Various components of wine have the potential to taste sweet. Phenolic compounds, specifically acids, can contribute towards perceiving a wine as sweeter than it is.
Other research shows that people tend to think of wines typically found in WS categories (like Riesling) as sweeter than they are. SW wines like Chardonnay tend to be thought of as dryer than they are.
When it comes to sweetness in the wine, perception can affect reality. Researchers believe this is due to the multisensory nature of flavor (i.e., taste, smell, touch), where two or more senses can influence how people perceive a wine.
The Taste:
Most Chardonnays are best described as "oaky." Some of that oak flavor comes through in the taste. Wine writers tend to describe this taste as buttery, vanilla, or creamy. To me, it's closer to a buttered popcorn smell. Many people don't like that description because they think it makes it sound like it tastes terrible. Still, there are positive connotations associated with the taste of buttered popcorn. It's also why I suppose one could argue that chard might be the most American of wines.
The Smell:
Most people report that Chardonnays have a buttery smell. Some describe it as creamy, like vanilla. These smells are usually associated with oak, which is why so many wine writers describe Chardonnays as "oaky."
The Touch/Feel:
Chard tends to be very smooth and silky on the tongue. It's not biting or tannic like Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Aromas:
Chardonnay fruit aromas range from apple to pineapple, depending on what they've been exposed to during the winemaking process. Oak aging adds a layer of flavors like vanilla and butter that contributes to a sweeter wine. Some Chardonnays have been described as having tropical aromas due to their increased exposure to yeast during fermentation and their elevated glycerol levels, and higher alcohol.
The Flavors:
Chardonnay is a white wine grape that's related to Pinot Noir and Aligoté. It has no dominant flavor profile but can have a buttery taste due to oak aging. Other flavors associated with sweet wines are apple, pear, and pineapple.
Chardonnay is a popular choice of wine for new consumers because it can be both dry (SW) or sweet (WS). Wine professionals debate the correct level of sweetness that Chardonnay should have, but one thing's for sure: most people think they know what it tastes like, and the majority of people think Chardonnay is a dry wine.
But that's just perception. Reality tells a different story where most cases of Chardonnay are found to be sweet on wine lists and retail shelves. And wineshops struggle to sell these wines, especially those labeled as "reserve," "gold medal," and "grand reserve."
The solution to increasing Chardonnay consumption among novice wine drinkers is not just having the sweet wines you want but also packaging and naming them correctly. Think of Chardonnay as a spectrum from dry (SW) to very sweet (WS). By offering SW and WS styles, people can "drink what they like" and have a Chardonnay to match their taste.
On a side note: the reason why so many people think they know what Chardonnay tastes like is that it's most often found with no vintage year, which leads consumers to believe that it is "current" or "latest release" is what makes it taste good. And by putting the grape variety first in the title, people assume that Chardonnay is a dry wine.
Differences Between Oaked And Unoaked Chardonnay:
If the grape is harvested earlier and fermented on its skin, it will be richer in fruitiness. Oak aging adds vanilla and butter tones to the wine, making it softer and more full-bodied.
Unoaked Chardonnay has a lighter body than oaked Chardonnay because of the increased exposure of yeast during fermentation. It can have floral aromas but rarely in oak, so it will not have the same oaky flavors as oaked Chardonnay. Unoaked Chardonnay is usually riper and higher in alcohol content than its oak-aged counterpart because grape sugars ferment into alcohol instead of fruit acids and esters.

Montclair Planning Board Considers High Street Subdivision; Two New Homes To Front Nishuane Road
Melanie Factor, a Montclair real estate attorney who described developing and renovating properties as a "hobby," came before the Montclair Planning Board Monday with a plan to subdivide 96 High Street and build two new homes fronting Nishuane Road on the property's rear yard.
Factor, the applicant, who purchased the property as Platinum Interiors LLC, was represented by attorney Alan Trembulak.
Trembulak stated that 96 High Street, located in an R1 zoning district, is "unusually large at 32,000 square feet."
The property, roughly 3/4 of an acre, runs from High Street to Nishuane Road and is 330 feet deep. The High Street side of the property has an existing single family house, a large center hall Colonial, with a detached garage.
The Nishuane side of the property, with its vacant rear yard, is where Factor is proposing to create two lots for two new homes facing Nishuane Road, with one lot being 51 feet wide and the second 52 feet wide.
Trembulak said Factor was seeking lot variances since the minimum lot width for Nishuane Road is 60 feet. He added that the two lots would be preferable than dividing the property in half, given that Nishuane Road has smaller lots, some less than the ones being proposed. He added that the proposed homes for the two lots would be consistent with neighborhood character and scale.
Factor testified that she acquired the 96 High Street property in January 2019. Speaking of her experience with development, Factor said she has restored old Victorians and built duplex properties, adding that in the last 25 years, she has probably renovated 10-12 properties.
Factor, who has already begun renovations on the High Street home, proposed building two houses on the Nishuane Road parcel, each 2114 square feet. The homes would either be 4 bedroom, 2.5 baths or a 3 bedroom with a small office.
Proposed home for Nishuane Road
Factor said she believed each house would sell for about $600K or more. She based this estimate on some recent sale data for Nishuane Road where she recalled a home sold for $640K.
"Nobody wants those big huge houses anymore," Factor said, noting the many homes in Montclair priced over $1 million that were sitting unsold. "I chose to build a house a moderate income family can afford, not a huge, 5000 square foot home."
Residents in the area of the proposed subdivision had questions for Factor.
Beverly Irby wanted to know how Factor would build two homes on the property without having to cut down a significant amount of trees.
Factor said she would only remove trees that were necessary to put in driveways for the houses.
Keith Obadike raised concerns about radon and whether Factor had any testing done on the vacant land, given the area's history as a Superfund site. Factor said she would look into whether any testing had been done.
William Scott recommended Factor contact Betsy Donovan, the remedial project manager.
Dr. George Bennett asked why Factor didn't choose to build one beautiful house on a large lot. "Montclair is full of irregular lots. Why not build a 3000 square foot home on a 100 foot lot?"
Another resident asked Factor if she would consider creating a pedestrian alley allowing access from High Street to Nishuane Road, adding that there is a map from 1909 showing that the lot had previously been a thru street. Factor said she would consider it.
Planning Board member Martin Schwartz asked Factor how much work she had done on the High Street home in terms of renovations.
Factor said she had kept all the original moldings, floors, doors and radiators. The house had been a nine bedroom, but it was renovated to be a five bedroom. She also installed a new roof and fixed the siding as well as gutted the kitchen and baths down to the studs. Her budget for that property was $300,000.
Trembulak asked for a break before calling his next witness to speak to his client. Following the break, Trembulak requested to come back to the Planning Board at a later date with a more detailed plot plan to address questions about trees and other issues raised, including plans for the driveways and two car garages for both homes. The application will be continued in October.

A great application! This is just like the recently built 9 Upper Mountain Ave (not yet updated on Google)…only this design splits the attached units in separate houses!
The renderings are suppose to put the designs in the best light. In this instance, it will attract buyers who like doorways dominating the facade. The garage is too small and needs to be 3-5 wider… even more of a potential door bonanza. $600K would be a steal.
Unfortunately, the rest of the neighborhood has attached garages and front doors, but they suffer from having…. actual living space fronting the street,
What an outdated concept. At least they new proposed homes will improve upon the neighborhood's lack of character.
Let's get this approval going. If the Planning Board needs a Council resolution, I think the Council will gladly provide one.

Q: How do I find the euclidean distance between two lists without using numpy or zip? How do I find the euclidean distance between two lists without using either the numpy or the zip feature? Furthermore, the lists are of equal length, but the length of the lists are not defined.
For example:
ex 1.
list_1 = [0, 5, 6]
list_2 = [1, 6, 8]

ex2.
list_1 = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
list_2 = [5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

So far I have:
    def euclidean_distance(p1, p2):
        sum = 0
        #(I think I need a for loop, possibly nested? --> For x in... for y in...)
        ans = (x-y) ** 2
        sum += ans
        return (sum) ** (1/2)

A: I think you could simplify your euclidean_distance() function like this:
def euclidean_distance(p1, p2):
        return abs(p1- p2)

One solution would be to just loop through the list outside of the function:
for i in range(len(list_1)):
    print(euclidean_distance(list_1[i], list_2[i]))

Another solution would be to use the map() function:
for result in map(euclidean_distance, list_1, list_2):
    print(result)

For
list_1 = [0, 5, 6]
list_2 = [1, 6, 8]

this would give you the output:
1
1
2

Chinese PV Industry Brief: Xinte wants to increase polysilicon capacity to 100,000 metric tons
Xinte unveiled a $197 million plan to raise its polysilicon production capacity to 100,000 metric tons per year in Xinjiang. Longi signed a strategic cooperation agreement with oil and gas giant Sinopec to jointly develop hydrogen and renewable energies.

Polysilicon manufacturer Xinte Energy has announced a 12-month, RMB1.27 billion (US$197 million) plan to raise its polysilicon production capacity to 100,000 metric tons per year in Xinjiang. The TBEA-owned poly manufacturer stated, in its 2019 report, its annual production capacity was due to hit 80,000 with the addition of 36,000-tons worth of manufacturing lines in 2020. The company's latest annual report confirmed that extra production capacity had successfully been commissioned.
Solar module manufacturer Longi has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with oil and gas giant China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation Group (Sinopec) for the joint development of hydrogen, solar and renewable energies. The deal was signed by Longi board chairman, Li Zhenguo, and Sinopec president, Zhang Yuzhuo.
Shareholders in glassmaker Flat Glass will vote, on May 20, on a proposal to invest RMB5.8 billion (US$889 million) in six PV glass production lines with a daily melting capacity of 2,400 tons. Under the proposal tabled by the board, RMB3.8 billion would be spent on four lines at Fengning Modern Industrial Park, in Fengyang county, Chuzhou, in Anhui province, and RMB2 billion would be invested in two lines at Xiuzhou district, in Jiaxing, Zhejiang.
Cell and module manufacturer Solargiga yesterday published unaudited first-quarter figures which showed shipments of ingots, wafers and modules rose 49% on the same period of last year, from 1 GW to 1.49 GW, raising revenue from production operations 27%, from RMB818 million to RMB1.04 billion. Revenue from the company's solar project business more than quadrupled by the same comparison, from RMB2.8 million to RMB11.7 million.
Fuyao Glass reported an unaudited rise in first-quarter net profits, from the RMB380 million back in January-to-March last year to RMB813 million this time around, even after foreign exchange losses of RMB70.3 million in the opening three months of this year.
This copy was amended on 19/04/21 to indicate Xinte Energy is thought to have 80,000 tons of annual polysilicon production capacity, rather than the 66,000 previously stated.

Kansas City Researchers Say Zebrafish May Hold Clue To Reversing Deafness In Humans
Zebrafish are the focus of Dr. Tatjana Piostrowski's research into restoring human hearing loss
Early hearing loss was hard for Rob Jefferson to accept, even though it runs in his family.
"No, it couldn't have been me," he says. "It wasn't my hearing. Everybody was mumbling."
The 56-year-old resident of Belton, Missouri, started losing his hearing when he was 17 years old, the result of premature degeneration of the hair cells in his inner ear.
By the time he reached his mid-30s, everyday communication had become difficult, and Jefferson gradually retreated from social activities.
"It got worse and worse, to the point where I stopped answering telephones," Jefferson says. "I stopped going out, because it was easier to stay home in an environment that I could control. So it becomes sort of a self-imposed loneliness."
When humans lose their natural ability to hear, there's usually little that can be done, short of resorting to hearing devices. Though it typically happens much later in life than was the case with Jefferson, sensorineural hearing loss – where the root cause lies in the inner ear – affects a quarter of people over age 65. And once the hearing hair cells in the inner ear are gone, they're gone forever.
At least in the case of humans.
For many animals, however, it's a different story. They're able to regenerate lost hearing cells. And at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research in Kansas City, researchers are examining how this process works.
Regenerating hair cells
The researchers are among a growing body of scientists who propose that, through the study of animal cell growth, they can learn how to activate similar regenerative abilities in humans and possibly reverse hearing loss.
Deep inside Stowers' midtown complex, the zebrafish facility is home to about 30,000 tiny striped fish who live in rows of small, square aquariums.
Zebrafish are an ideal species to study, according to Stowers associate investigator Dr. Tatjana Piotrowski, because their embryos are transparent.
"There are really very beautiful organisms under the microscope, because you can see cells move and migrate, how they shape organs," she says. "You can see the blood flow. You can see the heart pumping."
Piotrowski recently co-authored an article in the journal Developmental Cell that describes the cellular communication process that occurs when hair cells die and are regenerated in zebrafish.
She explains that the zebrafish hair cells she studies, which grow on the side of the fishes' bodies, are remarkably similar to human hair cells but aren't used for hearing.
"Here it's not sound waves, necessarily, that activate this motion, but it's water motion," Piotrowski, who grew up in Germany and speaks with a slight accent, says. "So fish swim in their environment, and there's a fish next to them or there's an object in the water – they can perceive that."
Human hair cells, which number about 32,000 in infants, can be permanently damaged and eventually killed by exposure to loud noise, certain antibiotics and chemotherapy treatments, resulting in hearing loss and even deafness.
Gone but not gone
But in zebrafish, the support cells that surround hair cells have the ability to divide and transform when hair cells are lost.
"You can imagine that some of these support cells act like adult stem cells in the sense that they are like a reserve pool of cells that, when they are needed, they turn into a hair cell," Piotrowski says.
Piotrowski's research details which support cells turn into hair cells and describes how signals within the cells inhibit or promote hair cell regeneration.
The work of her lab has won the admiration of Dr. Edwin W. Rubel of the University of Washington, a pioneer in this area of research.
He calls the Developmental Cell article "a beautiful study."
In the late '80s, Rubel and fellow researchers working at the University of Virginia made an unexpected discovery while studying dead hearing cells in baby chicks.
"Cells that were dead and gone weren't still gone," he says. "They seemed to be there, which surprised us greatly. In fact, it took us repeating the study three times in order to believe it."
Evolutionary trade-off
Researchers have since found that lots of animals can regrow these hair cells, but Rubel think this ability was given up by mammals as part of an evolutionary trade-off.
"We haven't seen reasonable amount of regeneration in any mammal," Rubel says. "I believe this is something that was lost along with the development of high frequency hearing."
By studying how zebrafish and chicks regenerate hair cells, Rubel, Piotrowski and others hope to map out how humans' regenerative abilities might be triggered with the help of drugs.
Those hopes have been bolstered by the discovery that mice embryos show some limited capacity for hair cell regrowth.
There are still lots of questions in the field about how the cell systems work. And it's unknown at this stage to what extent hearing could be restored. But for Ed Rubel, the research is worth it.
Just as people can regenerate skin and fingernails, Rubel is convinced that regeneration of hearing is a human capacity that simply needs to be unlocked.
"This is a latent ability. There's plenty of evidence that there's cells in the neonatal cochlea and maybe cells in the adult cochlea, or vestibular organs, that can be induced to make new cells or regenerate or to transform into hair cells," he says.
That's good news for people like Rob Jefferson, who are eager to regain their lost hearing.
Jefferson actually regained his ability to hear when he was 55, with the help of cochlear implants.
After years of isolation and feeling out of touch, he says, getting his hearing back turned things around for him.
"I've got my life back," Jefferson says. "And that's what I needed."

Piero di Lorenzo de' Medici (genannt il Fatuo oder lo Sfortunato ("der Unglückliche"); * 15. Februar 1472 in Florenz; † 28. oder 29. Dezember 1503 bei Gaeta) war der älteste Sohn Lorenzos des Prächtigen und regierte als dessen Nachfolger von 1492 bis 1494 Florenz. Sein Beiname bezieht sich auf sein politisches Scheitern, das der Herrschaft des Dominikaners Girolamo Savonarola den Weg ebnete.

Leben

Obwohl Lorenzo der Prächtige de jure kein Fürst, sondern nur ein einfacher Bürger der Stadt Florenz war, erkannte der Rat der Siebzig, das von seiner Anhängerschaft geschaffene wichtigste Regierungsorgan der Stadt, die faktische Herrschaft der Medici an und ebnete nach Lorenzos Tod dessen Sohn Piero den Weg zur Macht. Dieser wurde unter Verletzung des regulären Mindestalters zum Accoppiatore ernannt und erhielt damit eine Schlüsselrolle bei der Besetzung von Staatsämtern.

Piero de' Medici war vielseitig interessiert. Er befasste sich mit Dichtung, sammelte wertvolle Handschriften und kümmerte sich erfolgreich um den Wiederaufstieg der darniederliegenden Medici-Bank. Politischer Sachverstand zählte dagegen nicht zu seinen Stärken. So zeigte er sich zwischen 1492 und 1494, als Karl VIII. von Frankreich einen Krieg gegen Neapel anbahnte, in seiner dynastischen Beziehung zu den Orsini gefangen. Über sie wurde er an Neapel gebunden, während er gegen die Franzosen stand und gegen den bedrängten Mailänder Regenten Ludovico Sforza, der sie ins Land rief.

Piero wollte nun Schadensbegrenzung betreiben und lieferte Karl eigenmächtig die wichtigsten florentinischen Festungen und die Häfen Pisa und Livorno aus, um die eigene Herrschaft zu retten. Diese Maßnahmen wurden von den Großen der Stadt missbilligt. Der von mehreren bewaffneten Männern begleitete Auftritt Pieros vor der Signoria, bei dem er seine misslungene Rettungsaktion rechtfertigen wollte, brachte schließlich das Fass zum Überlaufen.

Eine wütende Volksmenge plünderte den Medici-Palast, Pieros Brüder Giovanni (der spätere Papst Leo X.) und Giuliano sowie sein Cousin Giulio (der spätere Clemens VII.) flohen nach Bologna. Auch Piero selbst musste am 9. November 1494 die Stadt verlassen und begab sich vorerst nach Venedig. Eine fast achtzehnjährige Exilzeit der Medici sollte folgen. Pieros Fehler bei Rückkehrversuchen war stets, dass er sich mit auswärtigen Feinden der Republik verbündete, etwa mit Cesare Borgia, so dass er die Geschlossenheit der Florentiner förderte und sich erst recht verhasst machte. Daneben duldete der französische König Ludwig XII. keine Rückführung, weil er Florenz sicher in seine Klientel im Kampf um Italien zwischen Nord und Süd einbinden wollte. Die Florentiner waren von Ludwigs Gunst abhängig.

Auf die Medici wurden Kopfgelder ausgesetzt, 4000 Florin auf Piero und 2000 auf seinen Bruder Giovanni. Ihre im Palazzo Medici aufbewahrten Kunstschätze, darunter viele wertvolle Handschriften, wurden teils zerstört, teils entwendet, nur ein Bruchteil davon konnte Ende 1495 nach Rom gerettet werden.

Der unglückliche Piero erlebte die Rückkehr seiner Familie an die Macht nicht mehr. Er kämpfte in Süditalien für Frankreich gegen die Spanier. Nachdem die französischen Truppen im Dezember 1503 in der Schlacht am Garigliano eine Niederlage erlitten hatten, wollte Piero auf die Südseite des Flusses Garigliano flüchten und dabei auch einige wertvolle Geschütze in Sicherheit bringen. Er belud die Barke, auf der er mit seinen Leuten den Fluss überqueren wollte, mit vier Kanonen. Das Boot kenterte aufgrund des Übergewichts und heftigen Gegenwinds, worauf Piero ertrank. Seine Leiche wurde wenige Tage später bei Gaeta in der Mündung des Garigliano aufgefunden. Er wurde in der Abteikirche von Montecassino, wo sein Bruder Giovanni Abt war, auf der linken Seite hinter dem Altar im Chor beigesetzt. Sein dortiges Grabmal wurde erst von seinem Cousin, Papst Clemens VII., nach 1530 bei Antonio da Sangallo und Francesco da Sangallo in Auftrag gegeben und 1539 vollendet.

Ehe und Nachkommen

Piero heiratete 1488 Alfonsina Orsini, die Tochter Roberto Orsinis, des Grafen von Tagliacozzo, und Caterina Sanseverinos. Zwei Kinder des Paares erreichten das Erwachsenenalter: Lorenzo di Piero de' Medici (1492–1519), Herzog von Urbino und Vater der französischen Königin Caterina de' Medici, und Clarice de' Medici (1493–1528), Ehefrau Filippo Strozzis des Jüngeren.

"We expect sales volumes to recover from 2021, when we broadly forecast prices to stabilise, although Australia could have a larger home price rebound."
Housing Sentiment Rises: Survey
Home buyers became more optimistic about the property market in June, after Covid-19 restrictions began to ease, according to the ME Quarterly Property Sentiment Report.
Sentiment rose by 6 percentage points to 35%, though this was still below the high of 39% recorded in the first three months of 2020.
Consumers were also less concerned about how Covid-19 would affect property values with the rating falling 9 percentage points to 55%. Those expecting house prices to fall in the next 12 months dropped by 10 percentage points to 31%.
Encouragingly, first home buyers are emboldened, with 51% planning to buy in the next 12 months – up 9 percentage points from the previous quarter.
ME general manager for home loans Andrew Bartolo says sentiment started to turn around as soon as restrictions were lifted across most states and territories.
"The rebound in confidence is a natural reaction to improving COVID-19 case numbers when we conducted the survey," Bartolo says.
Vacancy Rates Fall Nationally
The national vacancy rate has fallen to 2.2% in June, down from 2.3% a year ago, according to SQM Research. This was shored up by a 0.3% fall in the month between May and June this year.
All capital cities recorded declines in vacancy rates in June, with good results noted in Perth and Darwin. Perth's vacancy rate has been on a steady downward trajectory all year, falling from 3.2% in June 2019 to 1.5% in June 2020.
The pattern in Darwin is similar, the vacancy rates dropping from 3.1% to 1.8% over the same time period.
Vacancies in Sydney fell from 4.0% in May to 3.8% in June, though they remain higher than their level in June 2019 when they were 3.5%. Sydney is now the only capital city with a vacancy rate above 3%, while five cities have vacancy rates below 1.5%.
The fall in Melbourne was minimal – only 0.1% over the month with the June 2020 rate of 3.0% higher than the rate of 2.0% a year ago.
Vacancies in Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra all recorded small improvements.
JobKeeper Extension will Benefit Property
The Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA) and Master Builders Australia, both key players in the property and construction landscapes, have praised the Federal Government for extending the JobKeeper packages.
The Federal Government has announced that the JobKeeper program will be extended until the end of March next year, but with reduced fortnightly payments and stricter eligibility criteria.
PIPA Chairman Peter Koulizos likens the impact of the coronavirus to the GFC of a decade ago and says because similar initiatives were applied during the GFC, Australia avoided a recession by keeping people employed.
"The extension, as well as the continuance of mortgage repayment pauses, will benefit homeowners, landlords and tenants who continue to need financial support over coming months," he says.
Denita Wawn, CEO of Master Builders Australia agrees, saying: There's no doubt that JobKeeper continues to be lifeline for thousands of small builders and tradies as well as many in the building supply chain. The continuing easier accessibility for sole traders to access the scheme is also important".
First-Home Buyers Look to Regions
First-home buyers are aiming to get into the housing market by moving out of the capital cities and into regional areas where properties are cheaper.
According to the latest ME Quarterly Property Sentiment Report, 82% of first-home buyers says they hope to find bargain properties in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Many are finding it easier to save with 40% of FHBs saving for a deposit compared to 21% in the previous survey.
Around half (51%) of FHBs says they plan to buy in the next 12 months – the highest of any group in the survey while 60% say they would consider buying in a regional area to save money and to have a better lifestyle.
This compares with 45% of respondents overall.
ME general manager home loans, Andrew Bartolo, says the introduction of remote and more flexible working arrangements has influenced people's thinking about where they can live.
The survey also shows that low interest rates are having a positive influence.
Home-buying Intentions Revive
Home-buying intentions spiked in June as pandemic restrictions eased, returning close to the levels seen in March before the full impacts of Covid-19 were felt.
The Commonwealth Bank's latest household spending intentions index showed a 6% rise in home-buying intentions over the month, after dropping in the early part of virus restrictions.
The index had risen to near record levels in March, before home-buying intentions tumbled in April as the economic shutdown restrictions dramatically affected home-buying activity.
CBA's chief economist Stephen Halmarick says the recovery in June was fuelled by the partial reopening of the Australian economy.
"We saw a large rise in new mortgage applications at CBA as people look to take advantage of the record low interest rates," Halmarick says.
"While the more recent increase in Covid-19 cases in Victoria and the subsequent reintroduction of lockdown measures is a concern, the data for June shows solid recovery in spending intentions for home buying."

Some thought Jesus is out of touch with religion, reality and the ways of the world. That would be the religious leaders of his day. Many in our day, still think he's out of touch. Frankly, he is – because of how we try to structure reality. We try to fit God into our ways. And God doesn't fit. God wants to fit us into God's world. A lot of people may say otherwise, but don't want that.
Jesus makes claims he can't prove. The lowly and needy are impressed with him – not exactly the right stuff to be in touch with the world. He doesn't always say nice things about everyone. Where I grew up, our mommas taught us, "If you can't say something nice about someone, then don't say anything, until they walk away." Jesus gets in trouble for saying what he thinks, and it doesn't matter who's in front of him. Today he says of the religious leaders, "Well, they're like whiny children playing stupid games." They thought John the Baptist was too depressing, funeral-like – repent, get forgiven, get baptized. He wouldn't dance. And Jesus, to them, is a party guy, a glutton and drunkard, who hangs out with undesirables, misfits and sinners down at the local bar. He needs to be more pious. They can't be satisfied with anybody but themselves.
Jesus feels a prayer coming on, one he wants us to overhear. Surely God already knows this. What's surprising is he's glad God reveals secrets to "infants," the little and simple ones in the world's eyes, and withholds wisdom from the worldly certified wise. Talk like this that gets Jesus killed. The ones the world and religion say don't count and don't matter will more likely see who Jesus truly is. That can anger good religious folks who try so hard to be enough – to impress God and each other.
Does God really keep secrets from some, and reveal those secrets to others? Probably not. From what I understand, God wants us all to know the divine ways and bask in His love. Honestly, those at the bottom can be very perceptive and wise. I worked for a short time in my home church before I left for seminary. The church secretary – barely out of her teens, married, with only a high school education – noticed something was amiss with me, besides the usual stuff you're used to by now. "You must be hurting." "Why do you say that?" "You try too hard to act funny." I had been through an awful experience that spring. Some at church knew my story. I hadn't told her. What would she know? I was a university graduate and she wasn't. I was headed to graduate studies in religion. The seminary graduates I worked beside were blind to my pain. Only she got it. They had other things to see, I guess. Boy did she teach me an important lesson.
That's probably why some eagerly take up Jesus' offer: "Come to me, all who are weary and heavy-laden. I'll give you rest. Yoke yourself with me. You'll find rest for your soul. My yoke is easy. My burden is light." They get it. If you've been told, "You're not enough. God can't accept you as you are. You don't belong here," you hope that's not all there is. They hear Jesus' invitation. They believe God does love them as they are. That's why we as church offer rest to those burdened and broken down by religion and life. We need to let people know Jesus has room under his yoke for us all. These are the ones Jesus cares for and invites. Just because the sign says, "Church," doesn't mean that church is yoked and works with Jesus. They may not tell people they don't matter – they just treat them that way. Jesus invites us to love others, not judge them. And honestly, that's not always a yoke that is easy and may produce unrest in us, until we finally see and truly learn of him.
All of us are yoked to something. The question is – to what? A Christian minister recently writes how he participates yearly in the National Day of Unplugging, a program to help people recover the Jewish Sabbath rest – and unyoke for a day from iPads, iPods, smartphones, and computers. Ever wonder why you feel burdened, weary, weighed down? Check your yoke. Is it adding more burden and anxiety? To be yoked with Jesus is to bear the burden of being loved just as you are – failing, falling down, messing up, being wrong, and there he waits to pick us back up. It's called salvation – healing, wholeness, transformation, discovering what has already been given us. We carry the yoke Jesus hands us, not the world. His yoke is to know, "You are my beloved. Now go live with others as I do – serving, loving and forgiving." And when we finally get that yoke into us – we understand what is wise. We see how foolish worldly wisdom can be, and out of step in God's reign, where God's rest doesn't fit with the world's agenda for us.
Jesus doesn't impose his yoke. He lets us choose. The only penalty is the one we inflict on ourselves. His ways are gentle. His offer is – well, an offer. That's why we invite others to him, not force, guilt or shame them.
What is Jesus' yoke? You are God's beloved, and he will carry us through the good and difficult times, if we ask. He's always beside us, and over time, we slowly learn him, where he is. Strive for what matters to God. Learn of Jesus. And pray for the humility to ask Jesus to open our eyes, and see what others commonly don't yet see – that we are all – have been, and ever will be one in God, salvation freely given for all. Once we learn of him, our eyes open to God's reign, we have a new story to share. That's truly – amazing – God's grace.
His yoke is easy, his burden is light. God offers us the rest that comes from trusting we are always safe – because we are forever held in God's hands – and because of that, we rest it the Lord, and all is well – more "well" than we can ever imagine.
 The Rev. Keith Anderson, "When Freedom Becomes a Burden," Day 1, July 2, 2014.

Trump's PR Apprentice
Thu., Mar. 14, 2019
Jeff Zucker
Jeff Zucker said all the right words during his speech at the Radio Television Digital News Foundation awards gala in Washington last night.
In accepting the First Amendment Award, the CNN chief said suing president Trump after he yanked White House correspondent Jim Acosta's press credentials was the most uncomfortable but easiest decision of his career.
"We sued the president of the United States because on that day it was CNN, but on any other day, it could have been any one of you," he said. "This administration has made it abundantly clear that they do not have respect for or tolerance of a free and independent press."
Kudos to Jeff for his criticism of Trump, but was the speech a case of buyer's remorse? After all, Zucker put Trump on the national map. In turn, The Donald was Zucker's professional meal ticket.
As head of NBC Entertainment, Zucker rescued Trump from financial oblivion and Page Six of the New York Post by casting him as the business genius on "The Apprentice."
Zucker transformed the image of a guy who perfected "The Art of the Bankruptcy" four times (Taj Mahal casino, Trump Plaza Hotel, Trump Hotels & Resorts and Trump Entertainment Resorts) into a shrewd businessman with a golden touch.
A ratings smash, "The Apprentice" spawned "The Celebrity Apprentice" and spurred Zucker's rise to the top spot at NBC.
In shifting to CNN, Zucker continued to carry Trump's water, giving his presidential campaign wall-to-wall coverage. Trump was ratings gold for Zucker, just as he was at NBC on "The Apprentice."
And the best goes on.
Zucker did receive some heat last month for hiring a Trump official, Justice Dept. spokesperson Sarah Isgur, as political editor.
The hiring of Isgur, who has been critical of CNN's coverage of the White House, is part of Zucker's plan to bring in conservative voices to the now AT&T-owned network. Isn't that what Fox News is all about?
It looks like the shoe is now on the other foot.
Zucker appears to be Trump's apprentice.

If someone were to come to you and tell you to repeat the words "Ay Yay Yay Yay" over and over again, what would you think?
What if they interlaced this chorus with a reflective drawn lyric choice reflecting dark rooms, late nights, and the decisions we make alone on a Friday night?
Sounds a bit strange. And you'd be right. Strange can be good though. After all, as we soon find out Funk and swagger go together like Scotch and chocolate cake. Or so Vinyl Richie would have you believe.
The simple beat and repetitious lick of "Ay Yay Yay Yay" molds a driving foundation upon which an ominous and catchy track develops in the light of guitar sway and echoing hooks. So much so in fact, you body will begin to rock, your foot tap, and you'll start singing along.

Cape Town murders: SANDF slammed despite fewer killings this weekend
Western Cape Premier Alan Winde has found very few positives from this weekend's murder rate in Cape Town, questioning SANDF's effectiveness in the process.
by Tom Head

Although there were 13 fewer murders across Cape Town this weekend, that hasn't stopped Alan Winde from asking serious questions of soldiers on the streets.The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) have been patrolling some of the worst crime hot-spots, but killings remain rife.
How many people were murdered in Cape Town this weekend?
Five people were murdered in Delft, and four in Gugulethu. Three murders each were recorded in Manenberg and Philippi. Khayelitsha, Langa and Harare all recorded two murders each.
Elsewhere, Athlone, Kraaifontein, Lwandle, Grabouw, Somerset West, Mfuleni, Mitchell's Plain, Nyanga, Parow, Philippi East, Steenberg, Lingelethu and Samora Machel. That brings us to a total of 34 murders of the extended duration of the weekend. Yes, it's lower than the 47 murders we saw last weekend, but it's hardly an aspirational target
21 shootings (six fewer cases than last weekend)
Six stabbings (seven fewer cases than last weekend)
Seven murders by other means (same number as last weekend)
Are SANDF doing their jobs on the Cape Flats?
In a series of Tweets shared from a statement posted on Monday, Alan Winde was in no mood to compromise on the murder rate in Cape Town. With dozens still being slain each weekend, the premier is demanding more, from both the police and the army:
Mashaba: Politicians must pass through 'eye of a needle' to join new party
Couple drugs woman, forces her into prostitution at Bloemfontein flat
Northern Cape police makes massive drug bust in Kimberley
Parents of drowned Parktown Boys' pupil couldn't afford own life jacket
We are hearing community members on the ground, who were initially positive about the deployment of the army, starting to question their effectiveness, and if communities do not feel safer, then the SANDF and the police are not fulfilling their role and their mandate.
— Premier Alan Winde (@alanwinde) August 19, 2019
With a large number of the deaths this weekend taking place in these hot spots, we have to question whether the promises made to the residents of the Western Cape by the police at the time of the deployment, are being kept. @SAPoliceService
Cape Town murders: Bheki Cele criticised
According to the DA representative, Police Minister Bheki Cele 'isn't doing much to help the situation'.
"We are relieved to see the number of murders declined over the weekend, however, this is of little comfort when 34 families are currently grieving the loss of a loved one. We must be working towards zero, and nothing more. We will receive a report from the South African Police Services on crime and safety operations and the use of the SANDF."
"We want to understand what the police, working with the army, are doing to prevent crime and curb violence. Minister of police, Bheki Cele, has to date offered nothing but cold comfort to our communities. Due to the poor management of SAPS, they have lost control of fight against crime."

Alison Roman, the outspoken food author and influencer, is set to try a new video recipe at CNN Plus.
Roman, the author of cookbooks such as "Nothing Fancy," will launch a cooking program for the CNN-backed video hub, which is set to launch in the first quarter of 2022. Episodes will show her both in and out of the kitchen, teaching recipes and also venturing out to learn about the ingredients, people and the stories behind what she prepares.
"Alison's unique style and tone make her a perfect addition to our CNN Plus line-up," said Amy Entelis, CNN Worldwide's executive vice president for talent and content development for CNN Original Series and Films, in a statement. "From vinegar chicken to shallot pasta – we are thrilled that Alison will share the stories behind her signature recipes with the subscribers of CNN Plus."
Roman's new project with the subscription-based video service highlights one of its key areas of focus. Roman, a former editorial staffer for Bon Appetit and The New York Times, joins Eva Longoria, the actress, who will host a six-part documentary series about Mexican cuisine. Executives believe food, culture and travel represent topics that will draw potential subscribers to the new outlet, according to Andrew Morse, the executive vice president and chief digital officer of CNN Worldwide who is overseeing the launch of the streaming venue. "We are not going to replicate the way we cover the news on CNN," he told Variety in a recent interview. "We have a great product on CNN that serves our audience. What you will see from CNN Plus will be distinctive and different."
"I could not be more thrilled to be partnering with CNN Plus on this project," Roman said in a statement. "I've been dreaming about bringing a new sort of cooking and food show to life for years and I can't think of any place better to make it a reality." The series is expected to be made available later in the year.
The new program shows CNN working more closely with Zero Point Zero Productions, the media company behind Anthony Bourdain's "Parts Unknown," one of CNN's most popular series in recent years. The production house also works on CNN's "United Shades of America," led by W. Kamau Bell.
Roman emerged from a minor controversy in 2020, drawing criticism on social media after making some remarks about lines of products backed by Chrissy Teigen and Marie Kondo. She apologized, but also decided to leave The New York Times, where she was writing a column, in December of that year.
In addition to her books, Roman produces "Home Movies," a cooking series on YouTube, as well as a newsletter called "a newsletter." Before joining the editorial world, she worked as a pastry chef at places such as Quince in San Francisco and Momofuku Milk Bar in New York. Originally from Los Angeles, she is now based in New York.
Executive Producers are Alison Roman with Lydia Tenaglia and Chris Collins of Zero Point Zero Productions. Amy Entelis and Lyle Gamm are Executive Producers for CNN Original Series. Jon Adler is Supervising Producer for CNN Original Series.

US Is Accused of Failing to Provide List of Detained Travelers
Erik Larson Wednesday, 08 February 2017 12:59 PM EST
The U.S. government was accused of failing to comply with a court order to identify people who were stopped at airports under President Donald Trump's ban on travel from seven countries, in one of several federal suits nationwide that attack his sweeping immigration order.
U.S. District Judge Ann Donnelly in Brooklyn, New York, ordered the Justice Department on Jan. 28 — a day after Trump's ban abruptly took effect — to provide the American Civil Liberties Union with a list "of individuals detained" while trying to enter the U.S. after the executive order led to travel chaos across the country. A week and a half later, that hasn't happened.
"The government has failed to identify even one individual held in its custody under the policy," Katherine Haas, a student intern at Yale Law School's worker's rights group, which is also representing plaintiffs in the case, said Tuesday in a statement.
The Brooklyn dispute comes as an appellate panel in San Francisco considers whether to keep in place an injunction against the ban that was issued by a Seattle judge in a related suit.
Either of the cases, or similar suits in Massachusetts, Maryland and elsewhere, may ultimately emerge as the policy-setter in the high-stakes fight about the extent of President Trump's authority.
List-Making
The Justice Department claims no such list is required because travelers are no longer being held as a result of the executive order. The plaintiffs groups contend the order applies to people who were held and then released, and that the government is quibbling over the meaning of the word "detained."
"The government has chosen to avoid compliance by creating meaningless limitations on the word 'detained' in the court's order," Haas said.
"If you are aware of any individuals being unlawfully detained, please let us know and we will find out what's going on," Steven Platt, a Justice Department lawyer who is working on the case, said in a Jan. 31 email that was filed with the court by plaintiffs on Tuesday.
The plaintiffs groups also asked the judge to order the Justice Department to name anyone who was removed from the U.S. as a result of Trump's executive order, arguing they never should have been sent away in the first place.
Among travelers who were wrongfully barred from the U.S. is a student from Austria of Iranian citizenship who is pursuing her master's degree, the Yale group said in court filings. She was detained for nearly 23 hours before being removed from the U.S., the group said.
The plaintiffs also identified a woman from Sudan who was coming to the U.S. to care for her pregnant sister's special needs child was detained for more than 10 hours before she was sent home.
