Eduard and Alexander Hornemann—Used as Experiments and Murdered
Eduard and Alexander Hornemann are two of the 20 Bullenhuser Damm children who were murdered on 20 April 1945. I have written about the Bullenhuser Damm children before, but I just want to focus on the two brothers now. The reason being, at another time it could have been my boys whose names would have been on that list.
Like Eduard and Alexander's father, I too worked for Philips at one stage in my life.
Eduard, the elder of the two Hornemann brothers, was born on 1 January 1933. He was known as Edo in the family. Alexander was born on 31 May 1936 and was nicknamed Lexje. The family were from Eindhoven in the Netherlands.
The father, Philip (aka Flip)Carel Hornemann, worked for Philips. After the occupation of the Netherlands by German forces, he and another 100 Jewish colleagues were deployed to a special department of the company. His wife Elisabeth hid on a farm with their son Alexander, whilst Eduard was taken in on another farm. When the Jewish employees of Philips were taken to the 18 Vught Concentration camp, Elisabeth Hornemann followed her husband with her two sons.
On August 18 1943, German troops surrounded the Philips plant in Eindhoven and arrested all the Jews. Philip Carel Hornemann and the rest of the Jewish employees were sent to Vught, a Dutch concentration camp, where they were put to work in a Philips operation that employed more than 3,000 prisoners.
The Philips workers received extra rations and were given the special privilege of living together with their wives and children. When a Philips Corporation representative told Alexander's mother that the company could guarantee her family's safety only if she joined her husband in the camp, she felt that she had no choice but to go.
But prior to that their lives had already been interrupted. In 1942 the family lived in the Staringstraat in Eindhoven. The Nazis them to move to Gagelstraat because they have to make way for a Nazi-minded family.
On 3 June 1944, the Hornemanns were deported to the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp in Poland. The two boys remained with their mother and were sent to the women's barracks. Conditions in the camp were horrendous. There was little food and disease was rampant. Alexander's mother contracted typhoid fever three months after their arrival and died soon after. Philip died from exhaustion on transport to another camp.
Kurt Heissmeyer was a SS physician and the nephew of the senior SS officer August Heissmeyer. He was working to obtain his Professorship, which required original research.
Although previous research was dismissed, Heissmeyer's hypothesis was by injecting live tuberculosis bacilli into subjects, the bacilli would function as a vaccine. Another aspect of his experiment was based on the Nazi racial theory that race played a factor in developing tuberculosis. By proving his theory he injected live tuberculosis bacilli into the lungs and bloodstream of 20 Jewish children at the Neuengamme Concentration Camp. These were the 20 children selected by Joseph Mengele, amongst them were the two Hornemann boys. Eduard and Alexander Hornemann were brought to Neuengamme Concentration Camp on 28 November 1944.
On 20 April 1945, the children were taken to the abandoned Bullenhuser Schule. They were cheerful and happy to get out of the camp. The children were given a morphine injection that evening. Just before the injection, they were told that they would be "put to bed quickly." That night, all twenty children were killed by hanging in the basement of the Bullenhuser Schule. On that same day, the British were less than three miles from the camp.
"I don't think that the camp inmates are worth the same as other people," said 61-year-old Kurt Heissmeyer on 21 June 1966. When asked, "Why didn't you use laboratory animals?" he replied, "because there is no difference between laboratory animals and humans," and then corrected himself, "between laboratory animals and Jews."
Heissmeyer died on 29 August 1967.

The destruction of innocence and beauty.
The girl in the play pen is Renee Sara Gottschalk, born in the Central Refugee Camp Westerbork on 21 June 1941. The two girls in the dark dresses are the daughters of chief physician F. Spanier. The lady on the right is Rosa Strauss; Renee Sara's mother. Her father is
Erich Gottschalk. Renee and her mother Rosa were killed in Auschwitz on 6 October 1944. Father Erich survived the war.
Rosa Strauss was born on February 24, 1911 in Bochum. Her parents were Emil Strauss and Johanna Strauss-Mendels. Her father was a cattle dealer and butcher. On February 5, 1937, Rosa married Erich Gottschalk, 5 years her senior in Bochum.
Shortly after the wedding, Rosa's family fled to England via the Netherlands. From there they fled to South Africa. Rosa and Erich did not want to be chased out of Germany.
Erich was trained as a textile merchant, but under pressure from the Nazi measures, he was forced to work in his parents' company, a wholesaler of advertising materials. The place was completely destroyed during the Kristallnacht. The next day he was arrested and taken to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. Rosa was left alone. Because Rosa could prove that they had plans to emigrate, Erich was released on December 11, 1938.
Rosa and her husband fled to the Netherlands, where they ended up in a relief camp in Hoek van Holland. They planned to flee further, but were overtaken by the German invasion in May 1940. Rosa and Erich were taken to the Westerbork refugee camp. Their daughter Renée was born there on June 21, 1941. Because they were already in the camp during the refugee period, they were not put on transport for the time being.
They were 'Alte Lagerinsassen' but on September 4, 1944, Rosa, Erich and Renée Gottschalk were sent to Theresienstadt on transport. They only stayed there for a month. A month later, the family was sent to Auschwitz from Theresienstadt. Rosa and Renée were murdered here immediately after arrival, on October 6, 1944. Erich was chosen to work.
He survived the outside command Tschechowitz. Just before the liberation, he was sent on the death march ahead of the advancing Russian army. Erich Gottschalk was weak and collapsed, but was helped by Polish peasants. On 6 June 1945 he returned to Amsterdam as the only survivor of his family. His beautiful wife was murdered age 33. His beautiful and innocent daughter was murdered age 3.

The murder of Joseph Hartog van der Horst
The most beautiful announcement any parent can make, is the announcement of the birth of a child.
Mary Louise van der Horst-Beerenborg and Abraham Arthur van der Horst. must have been so proud when they put a notification in the Jewish weeklu(Het Joodsche Weekblad) on September 4.1942 that their son Hartog was born on August 29,1942 in the Hague, the Netherlands.
But from conception to death took only 18 months for Hartog. He was murdered aged 9 months, on June 7,1943 in Westerbork.
All that is recorded of Hartog is the newspaper notification and the notification of his death.
Both his parents were murdered just over a month later on July 16,1943 in Sobibor.

Sally van Dijk,8 year old boy Murdered on May 28-1943,Sobibor.
Sally was born on August 19, 1934 in Geffen, the Netherlands. I wish I could say more about Sally, but there is very little known about him. The fact that he was murdered on May 28,1943 in Sobibor is sad, What makes it even sadder, his father, mother and older sister were murdered the same day, in the same place.
In fact in total 2849 Dutch Jews were murdered that day in Sobibor. They had all been transported from Westerbork.
Sally's short life already had been interrupted. From September 1, 1941, Jewish children had to go to separate schools and were no longer allowed to go to public schools.
The Mandatory Star of David was introduced from May 3, 1942 and obliged all Jews older than six years to wear the Star of David. It had to be worn visibly at chest height. The star was distributed by the Jewish Council and cost 4 cents each.
I don't know when Sally and his family were forced to go there, but until 25 May 1943 Sally van Dijk was imprisoned in Camp Westerbork.
Only 3 days later, Sally and 2848 others were murdered in Sobibor.

Two sides of the Holocaust-Innocence and Evil.
May 16 is a date which links two events in relation to the Holocaust, even though they are 15 years apart.
Hana Bradyová was born on 16 May 1931 in Prague, the daughter of Markéta (née Dubsky) and Karel Bradyová. Her family lived in Nové Město na Moravě in the Vysočina Region of Czechoslovakia.
Most people will know Hana Bradyová as Hana Brady, her story was brought to light in the book "Hana's Suitcase" by Karen Levine.
Hana was described as a happy, active and athletic little girl who was very close to her family. Hana was just eight years old when the Nazis occupied Czechoslovakia. The family's life became restricted, and they were forced to hand over their radio and other valuables to the Nazis. Their Christian friends stopped playing with Hana and her brother George(Jiří ) , because their parents feared they would be punished for playing with Jewish children. Hana and George remained close and supported one another during this time.
In March 1941, their mother, Marketa, was assigned to a Nazi transport and taken away. Soon after, they were forced to sew yellow star badges to their clothing along with all the other Czech Jews. When one man in town refused to comply, a Nazi officer was furious and ordered the arrests of all the other Jewish men in town. Hana and George's father Karel was arrested and taken away a few days later, and the two children were left with the family's housekeeper.
In 1942 Hana and George were sent to the Theresienstadt concentration camp. Hana was assigned to the girls' home in barrack L410.In 1944, Hana was deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp. While her brother survived by working as a laborer, Hana was sent to the gas chambers a few hours after her arrival on 23 October 1944, she was murdered aged 13. Her body was cremated with other victims in the ovens at the crematorium.
15 years after Hana's birth Bruno Tesch and Karl Weinbacher were executed, on May 16,1946.
Karl Weinbacher worked at Degesch (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Schädlingsbekämpfung, which translates as German Corporation for Pest Control) until 1924, and then at Tesch & Stabenow (Testa, for short), where he received the position of manager in 1927, and by 1943 was director and deputy executive under owner and chief executive officer Bruno Tesch. Testa manufactured and sold Zyklon B, which was used control in the gas chambers of Auschwitz to murder people, including Hana Brady. Weinbacher received royalties on sales of Zyklon B.
Bruno Emil Tesch (14 August 1890 – 16 May 1946) was a German chemist and entrepreneur. Together with Gerhard Peters and Walter Heerdt, he invented Zyklon B, He was the owner of Tesch & Stabenow (called Testa), a pest control company he co-founded in 1924 with Paul Stabenow in Hamburg, Germany, which was a major supplier of Zyklon B to the Nazi concentration camps.
Below is the transcript of a statement at the trial of Bruno Tesch.
Dr. Bruno TESCH
Dr. Bruno TESCH, having been duly sworn, states:–
My name is Dr. Bruno TESCH, born on 14th August 1890, in Berlin, and living at HAMBURG-BLANKENESE, Wittspark 14.
In 1924 I founded, together with Mr. STABENOW, the firm of TESCH & STABENOW, which, since 1927, has been under the direction of the Deutsche Gasellschaft für Schaedlingsbekaempfung. Our firm had the sole right to supply Cyan-Gas in the form of Zyklon B to the country east of the ELBE. On the foundation of the firm I held thirty-three and a third percent of the shares; in 1927, some time before the alleged suicide of my colleague, STABENOW, I acquired another eleven and two-thirds percent, so that my share was forty-five percent. In 1942 I acquired the remaining fifty-five percent and was therefore sole proprietor of the firm.
In 1933 I joined the NSDAP and in the same year became a supporting member of the SS.
Since 1927 Mr WEINBACHER was the Prokurist of the firm. All incoming orders went through his hands, and in my absence, approximately two hundred days a year, he took over the managament [sic] of the firm. Dr. Joachimhans DROSIHN was the biological adviser of the firm. He, too, was travelling most of the time. Mr. ZAUN was the head book-keeper. Mr. SEHM was a book-keeper. He had no reason to wish me ill; on the contrary he should be thankful as I once helped him in a situation.
I kept no 'black book' in which I recorded the misdeeds of my employees. Neither did I keep a sealed envelope about Dr. DROSIHN.
I wrote very exact travel reports about my journeys, which on my return I divided evenly over my secretaries for typing. My private secretary was Miss RATOKE; but also Mrs. UENZELMANN and Miss BIAGINI and the others wrote my reports.
I was never told in BERLIN at a conference, or by any other source, that Zyklon B gas should be used against human beings. I mentioned this fact in none of my travel reports and I have never spread no[r] heard such a rumour in my office.
Except Zyklon gas, my firm also supplied circulation plant for gas chambers of 10 cbm size. Chambers of the capacity of more than 50 cbm are not known to me, and therefore I did not know that the SS was our best customer. I also know nothing of the huge deliveries which we made to AUSCHWITZ in the years 1942-43. Since 1943 all orders of state customers went through the Haupt-sanitaetspark, BERLIN. Our firm never supplied the Wirtschafts-Verwaltungs Hauptaert (WVHA) either directly or indirectly. My accounts books were checked by Dr. PLINKER and I only know the yearly and monthly general balance.

Remembering Elisabeth Huisman-Lees
The 4th of May is the date when all deaths from World War 2( and the last few years also from other conflicts) are remembered. At 8pm a 2 minutes silence is observed nationwide.
There were 7,900 military death, 198,000 civilian deaths, of which 20,000 died between late September 1944 and early May 1945 due to famine. But I will be remembering one victim of the estimated 104,000, Jews who were murdered during the Holocaust.
Elisabeth Huisman-Lees was born on August 17,1908 in The Hague, Netherlands. She died on May 4,1945 ,one day before the Netherlands was officially liberated, in Tröbitz, Germany.
Like most of the Dutch Jews who were murdered during the Holocaust, Elisabeth was Jewish but above anything else she was Dutch. She even played 'Korfbal' which is a typical Dutch sport.It has similarities to netball and basketball, and is played by two teams of eight players with four female players and four male players in each team. The objective is to throw a ball into a netless basket that is mounted on a 3.5 m (11.5 feet) high pole.
Elisabeth is on the right in the middle row
On February 1,1944 Elisabeth was sent from Westerbork to Bergen Belsen. From there she was put on the so called 'Lost Train: Bergen-Belsen to Tröbitz'.
On April 10, 1945 a transport carrying Jews left Bergen-Belsen with an intended destination of Theresienstadt. However, due to bombings, the train ended up in the German town called Tröbitz.
In early April 1945, prisoners from Bergen-Belsen concentration camp were transferred to Theresienstadt concentration camp.
One of the three trains used for this was liberated by the Russian army near the village of Tröbitz. Many passengers did not survive this train journey. A large number of those who survived the train journey have died as a result of the outbreak of the typhus epidemic. The deceased were buried in a common grave behind the management barracks of the "Hansa" quarry.
211 died on that transport in Tröbitz. The really sad thing is that they all died just before or after the end of the war. Some died in June 1945. The youngest was Raphael Dasberg. He was only 8 years old, he died on April 22,1945.
If I would have to be silent for 2 minutes for each individual Dutch world war 2 victim, I would have to be silent for just over 300 days.
If I would have to remain silent for 2 minutes for each individual Jewish Holocaust victim, I would have to stay silent for 8,3344 days or 22.8 years. 10 years longer then the duration of the Holocaust.
Just think of that for a second.

Only a death certificate to remember her by
All stories of children who were murdered during the Holocaust are extremely sad, but even in that there are different levels.
The story of Helga Renate Sara Zons is particularly heartbreaking . There are no pictures of her just a death certificate to remember her by, The certificate was even issued 10 years after she was murdered.
What make it really sad is the fact that she would be 79 today, she could still have a few decades left to live. But she never really had a life to begin with, she was born on April 26,1941. Her place of birth was Westerbork transit camp, she was born in captivity.
Sara only had 2 journeys in her short life. The first one was to Theresienstadt on September 4,1944.Her second and her last journey was to Auschwitz where she was murdered upon arrival on October 6,1944, she was only 3 years old.
A life never fulfilled.
Rest in peace little angel.

The murder of Beatrix Romijn and her family.
Every time when I look at a picture of a young Holocaust victim, I get this uncomfortable feeling, and even feel physically unwell. But that is a miniscule price to pay to ensure that they are remembered, not as just a number or statistic, but as a human being. Made from flesh and blood, a product of love.
Beatrix Romijn was such a human being. Born in Amsterdam, on the 19th of April 1941.Murdered in Auschwitz on the 2nd of August 1942. She reached the age of 1 years.
She hardly ever experienced what it felt like to play with a toy. She never got to do that typical Dutch thing of riding a bike.
On July 31, 1943 she was deported to Auschwitz together with her parents. In total there were 1002 human beings on that transport. 54% male,46% female.
I don't know if this is true but I believe it is safe to presume that Beatrix was named after the Dutch Crown Princess at the time .
Beatrix and her Mother, Bertha Romijn-Kool, were murdered on August 2nd 1942 in Auschwitz. 194 Dutch Jews were murdered that day in Auschwitz.
Bertha Romijn-Kool, born in Amsterdam, on the 16th of November 1913. Murdered in Auschwitz, on the 2nd of August 1942. Reached the age of 28 years.
Beatrix's Father ,Philip Romijn, born in Amsterdam, on the 29th of December 1912. Murdered in Auschwitz, on the 22nd of September 1942. Reached the age of 29 years, occupation: Diamond worker.
May they be remembered forever.

The murder of Robert Bierman in Auschwitz
Robert Bierman was murdered on July 18, 1942 in Auschwitz, he was 4 years old. I could have done a piece on his sister ,Francisca, who was also murdered on July 18, 1942. She was aged 6.
The reason why I picked Robert because it is his birthday today. He was born in Amsterdam on April 13,1938. He would have been 88 today.
I probably could have found out more about Robert, but I have reached a point where my heart just no longer can take it, He was perceived by the Nazis as an enemy of the state. Below are just some pictures of this 4 year old enemy of the state.
With his sister Francisca and mother Marianne Bierman-Trijbetz.
With his big sister Francisca, who is skillfully driving him around the garden.
Brother and sister relaxing in the sun.
A proud father ,Herman Eduard Bierman, and his daughter Francisca and infant baby boy Robert, their lives were still safe when that picture was taken,
Herman Eduard Bierman was murdered on August 1,1942 in Auschwitz.
Marianne Bierman-Trijbetz was murdered on the same date as her children, July 18,1942.
For some reason this one had a greater impact on me than others. Perhaps it is because I could have been Robert if I had been born 30 years earlier .

The murder of Jacob Hartog Morpurgo on April 7-1944
Jacob was born on October 19,1934 in Amsterdam. He was the youngest child and only son of Rachel Morpurgo-Kijl and Abraham Morpurgo. He had 2 siblings, sisters Carla Celina Morpurgo and Vogelina Morpurgo.
This family was just a regular family, the Father Abraham, was a draper by trade. Mother Rachel is what they call nowadays a stay at home mum, or home maker.
On May 9,1941 Jacob was issued with a passport, which was valid for 2 years, until May 9,1943.
I don't know the exact date but at some stage Jacob and his family traveled to Belgium. This must have been after his passport had expired. But that would not have mattered because he didn't ravel there for his holidays. The Morpurgo family was send to the transit camp Mechelen in Belgium. The last day they were there was April 3,1944, because the following day they were all deported to Auschwitz on transport 24. Jacob, his mother and two sisters were murdered upon arrival on April 7,1944.
Abraham was deported to Mauthausen at some point, where he was murdered on February 1,1945. He reached the age of 43. There is a tradition in the Netherlands when a man reaches the age of 50, they say he has seen Abraham. This Abraham never got to celebrate that birthday.
Rachel Morpurgo-Kijl. born in Amsterdam, 21 July 1895. Murdered in Auschwitz, 7 April 1944. Reached the age of 48 years
Vogelina Morpurgo , Born in Amsterdam, 19 February 1925.Murdered in Auschwitz, 7 April 1944.Reached the age of 19 years.
Carla Celina Morpurgo, born in Amsterdam, 4 November 1930.Murdered in Auschwitz, 7 April 1944.Reached the age of 13 years. She had been a student at the Joods Lyceum in Amsterdam.
Vogeltje Morpurgo-van Engel, was the Mother of Abrham, and the Grandmother of Jacob,Vogelina and Carla. She was also on the same transport from Mechelen to Auschwitz and was murdered also on April 7,1944. She reached the age of 68. Her name means little bird.
On April 7,194, thirteen Dutch Jewish citizens were murdered in Auschwitz. Sic were from the same family.

Juicy in flavors of plum, cassis and cherry, it is balanced by soft tannins and well-integrated oak.
Charles Krug is one of Napa Valley's most storied wineries. It was founded in 1861 by Charles Krug, a Prussian immigrant who amassed a 540-acre estate before his death. Prohibition and phylloxera brought difficult times to the winery in the early 20th century, and in 1943 it was bought by Cesare Mondavi, an Italian immigrant. Mondavi turned the winery into powerhouse, but after his death his sons Robert and Peter famously disagreed on what direction to take the winery. The result was that Peter and his mother stayed on at Charles Krug and Robert Mondavi started a winery that was to become one of the most influential in California, and to some extent, the world. Today Charles Krug is still run by Peter Mondavi's sons and it produces nearly one million cases a year, ranging from Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
United States, California, Napa Valley
Napa Valley AVA is the most famous winemaking region in the United States and one of the most prestigious in the world. With nearly 43,000 acres of vineyards and more than 300 wineries, it is the heart of fine wine production in the United States. Winemaking started in Napa in 1838 when George C. Yount planted grapes and began producing wine commercially. Other winemaking pioneers followed in the late 19th century, including the founders of Charles Krug, Schramsberg, Inglenook and Beaulieu Vineyards. An infestation of phylloxera, an insect that attacks vine roots, and the onset of Prohibition nearly wiped out the nascent Napa wine industry in the early 20th century. But by the late 1950s and early 1960s Robert Mondavi and other visionaries were producing quality wines easily distinguishable from the mass-produced jug wines made in California's Central Valley. Napa Valley's AVA was established in 1983, and today there are 16 sub-appellations within the Napa Valley AVA. Many grapes grow well in Napa's Mediterranean climate, but the region is best known for Cabernet Sauvignon. Chardonnay is also very successfully cultivated, and about 30% of the AVA's acreage is planted to white grapes, with the majority of those grapes being Chardonnay,
Red Wine, Cabernet Sauvignon
One of the most widely grown grape varieties, it can be found in nearly every wine growing region. A cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. It's a hardy vine that produces a full-bodied wine with high tannins and great aging potential.

UK to get its first waste plastic-to-hydrogen recycling plant
April 17, 2019	0	By Alicia Moore
Waste2Tricity reveals plans to develop the facility in Cheshire.
The waste-to-energy company intends to apply for planning permission to develop its industrial-scale waste plastic-to-hydrogen recycling plant. If planning is approved, the facility will be the first of its kind in the United Kingdom and located in Cheshire.
The facility will be capable of treating up to 25 tons of waste plastic every day.
The £7 million ($9.1 million) waste plastic-to-hydrogen facility will reportedly span 54 acres. It is expected to be able to treat up to 25 tons of waste plastic daily and produce one ton of hydrogen and 28 megawatt hours of electricity in the process.
According to Waste2Tricity, the recycling plant will be able to process just about any kind of plastic, including plastic packaging, rigid plastics and even used tires.
The recycling process that makes this possible is called Distributed Modular Gasification (DMG). It was developed by PowerHouse Energy, a clean energy company at the nearby University of Chester Energy Centre.
The DMG process involves placing the plastic waste into a sealed chamber, where the plastics are heated to extremely high temperatures. This ultra-high temperature removes carbon and converts the solid material into syngas (synthetic gas). The syngas is modulated in another chamber to generate hydrogen that is road-fuel-quality grade.
"Our technology is a sustainable solution for dealing with plastics that would otherwise end up in landfill, and because we're generating hydrogen it's much more efficient than other energy-from-waste processes," said PowerHouse Energy's chief executive David Ryan, reports edie.
The first phase of the waste plastic-to-hydrogen plant could be operational by the end of 2019.
If Waste2Tricity is granted planning permission for the facility before summer, the company predicts that the first phase of the facility could be up and running by the end of the year.
At first, the facility will use the hydrogen it generates for onsite electricity production. Once upgraded, the hydrogen could then be distributed for other uses in the pipeline or used for vehicle refueling.
Waste2Tricity has said that in the future it plans to explore the possibility of opening similar waste plastic-to-hydrogen recycling facilities in other parts of the UK as well as across other global markets, such as South Korea and Japan.

@TheSackedWiggle, I agree 2021 is the time to really seriously watch the Sydney market. Have you had a close look at the house prices in Sydney from 2003 to 2013? The market didn't move much but did decline and move up during that time. I'm not sure the next recovery will take so long because populations and economic conditions are different.
For price drops you can study Perth. There wasn't a widespread drop of 30% because sellers refused to sell at such a discount. They simply left houses on the market or withdrew them. A few forced sales does not crash a market. Sellers have a floor price and most won't go lower than that. These are things you need to factor in when considering a 30% drop scenario.
Yep.. even after the price fall Syd/melb could have a long stagnation period like before, may be recovery by 2025?
It has not yet crossed the peak reached in 2006/7, infact as per CL its still 10% lower then that peak, many outskirts doing even worse.
Has inner ring area crossed its 2006/7 peak?
I saw a tweet today pointing to rising 90+ arrears on banks books originating from WA, will try to find the source.
I was getting impression that Perth is closer to bottom from the chatters on perth thread, thought any one who was desperate would have got out many years ago, but looks like there may be some more pain left, what do you think?
Was looking at some inner middle ring suburbs, can't remember the name, some of it had a mini boom sort of in 13/14/15 but looks like some of those regions have given back the rise.
Is it due to Credit tightening?
I am not sure but I believe not. @MTR, has Mt Lawley gone back to 2006/7 peak prices yet?
I was getting impression that Perth is closer to bottom as any one who was desperate would have got out many years ago, but looks like there may be some more pain left, what do you think?
Depends on the area. Inner ring is definitely warming up. Demand is on the rise and stock on market is tightening. I know 2 people who bought inner ring recently and both had to pay over asking to secure a deal. I believe that some outer suburbs will continue to fall. i.e. Baldivis and Butler. Bad news. I don't think they have reached bottom.
The mid ring mini boom suburbs are where I invest so know some areas well from participating in the market. The bottom line here is they way overshot prices. I was at auctions where prices exceeded the price record for the area and the property was still passed in. Prices were not sustainable and had to come back. I believe some areas are still a little over priced and some have come back to fair value. Where I want to buy next I could get better deals last year than this year. Prices seem to be firming to me.
icic and TheSackedWiggle like this.
Hang on - Bust markets last longer than boom markets.
I will sit back and watch, I am not buying a primary residence and I am not interested in 3% yields while markets are falling/going sideways and interest rates are rising.
I wouldn't say busts last longer. In Dublin prices peaked in 2006, had their "minor blip/downturn" in 2007, and 2008/2009 were the tough years with the biggest falls. Recession hit in 2009-2011, and it's only been up from there.
Most decent assets were done falling by 2009, and fell far less than some. We have to remember median falls aren't uniform. The crappy new half-built estates and flats often fell 100%, but good assets fell far less and recovered more quickly.
I'd say if this is a crash, it'll be good buying by 2020. By the time the economy starts to go bad, it'll be almost over.
Check out Australian boom/bust cycles... not Dublin.
Melb - I think last bust cycle was shorter 3 years.
Another 7-8% drop for Melbourne and Sydney and then we get into a 3 year stagnate.
Only way to make money after around mid next year will be value add....so actually being a proactive investor.
2FAST4U, MTR and Perthguy like this.
"Nationally, the highest value quarter of the market has led the downturn with prices falling 6.6% while lower quartile values have recorded a 0.5% rise," Lawless said.
Its a disaster, its all going down down down. Sell sell sell. So i can buy buy buy.
Middle ring north side Brisbane, CoreLogic by suburb from Nundah to Ashgrove all dropped by 2-7 % from the peak in Jan 18 with the exception of Alderley (which just steadied then is now rising). For most suburbs in that ring the bottom looked like August based off most recent data. This is just plain old seasonal cycles poor stock during the winter. Ground truth from my weekly auctions and opens is the good homes continued to go strong. What bubble? What boom? If we didnt have national news Qld wouldnt know whats going on down south.
I will. It will be a PPOR. Sometime next year.
Probably the longest I can hold out. We need to move at some point.
I already held my wife back 18-24 months. I think making her wait near 3 years will be the max.
rjw180, WandereringTribe, MTR and 1 other person like this.
I am in same boat minus the wife, already getting hassled by agents and only started going to opens 2 weeks ago.. will buy next yr Bayside Melb PPOR- development potential no rush thats for sure.
WandereringTribe and MTR like this.
Melbourne has the most long term upside of any Australian Capital city.
Pulled out my shopping money this week and it's parked until mid next year and then I'll look to grab a development site.
Just don't do some investors do, buy a deve site and cant source the finance.
Not an issue. As I have said time and time again, if you want borrowing capacity then you just need to increase income.
Most people focus on cutting expenses which does ZERO.
I honestly believe increasing income is actually easier than cutting expenses. I find most people fail to value their own worth to their employers.
Or that people become complacent and don't upskill and just expect a pay increase outside of inflation.
Everyone should be constantly upskilling (even at their own expense) and using this in pay reviews.
SOULFLY3 and kierank like this.
I approached Corelogic and asked them whether they'd make more of their back series data available. That is, via the rolling 365 day data set for "home values" which I assume is for houses and units combined by extending it to all the data they have since introducing the index. Anyway no luck - as expected. 365 days is insufficient to analyse.
So what I've done is analysed the ATO's quarterly data which starts from 2003. It's not ideal as it's too coarse at quarterly but nevertheless best I have have. Anyone interested in a thread on this?

Q: RenderScript - is it good practice to call Allocation.destroy() on every Allocation object created when you're done with it? I've been having problems with memory management while using RenderScript, so I figured that since Allocation.createFromBitmap()/createTyped() consumes memory, Allocation.destroy() frees the memory consumed by it.
Is it good practice to do so, and what else is good practice for RenderScript-based programs?

A: The finalizer of Allocation will reclaim the memories when GC happens.
However, yes, it is a good practice to destroy Allocations when you don't need them any more.
One comment: it is usually a good practice to call Allocation.createFromBitmap(RenderScript rs, Bitmap b) when creating Allocations from a bitmap. It would make the Allocation share the data with the bitmap, thus you don't need to copy back and forth, as long as the stride of the bitmap is aligned on a 32bytes or 16bytes boundary.

Q: convexity of function of matrix Let $f(A,b)=y^T(I-aA)^{-1}b$ be a function of matrix $A$ and vector $b\geq 0$ such that all the elements of $A$ and $y$ are less than 1 and non-negative and $0<a<1$.
Each row of $A$ sums up to 1.
Can someone please help me out to show that this is convex in $A$?
I derived the gradient of $f$. But then no clue on how to compute the hessian. Any reference would also be very helpful.

The silent apocalypse: the slow disappearance of insects
di Sofia Belardinelli
It is only now that we begin to understand the negative effects of the uncontrolled anthropic activities of the last two hundred years. Among these, is the incipient sixth mass extinction and for the first time of Earth's history, one species has exterminated a large number of another species. A 2018 study estimated that since the beginning of human civilization 83%, about five out six, of wild mammals have vanished from the face of the Earth. However, the growing extinction rate that affects invertebrates, and in particular, insects in terrestrial environments, has been underestimated. The Somerset Wildlife Trust has dedicated its latest report, published at the end of 2019, in recognition of the global situation by proposing a series of recommendations, both at government level and by individual citizens to counter the phenomenon.
There are about one million known species of insects, of which we know very little besides their existence, instead of ignoring their physiological peculiarities, behaviours and activities within their ecosystems. However, it is estimated that there are at least four million additional species of insects that scientist that have yet to discover. If current extinction rates are confirmed in the coming years, many of these species will become extinct without us ever knowing that they even existed.
Over the past decade, many studies have focused on this silent tragedy. A report published in 2017 by the Entomological Krefeld Society, showed the undeniable and dramatic biomass decrease of insects in the last 30 years. Although the study was based on experiments conducted in Germany, the data produced showed the decrease had fallen with rates of 75%. In 2018, biologists Bradford Lister and Andres Garcia also confirm this trend by publishing the results from a series of measurements conducted in the tropical forest of Puerto Rico. The results come 35 years after the first survey of insect biomass was conducted. Stating a vertical decrease with rates ranging between 70 and 98% depending on the species and the time of year.
The causes of this decline are various. The most disturbing factors are anthropogenic, including loss of habitat, chronic exposure to lethal cocktails of pesticides and other chemicals, as well as the spread of invasive foreign species the incipient impact of climate change. Recent studies show how the latter factor holds a primary role in the disappearance of insects. The impact of climate change finds that insects lack their natural habitat and are unable to survive in the face of the mismatch between their reproductive rhythms and those of the plants from which they pollinators. Human activities generate a plurality of secondary disturbing factors. These factors include the multiple synthetic chemicals released into ecosystems, the growing number of invasive species that are spread through the global transport network that reduce the biodiversity of many ecosystems, as well as light pollution, which has significant effects on nocturnal insects.
The tragedy within this tragedy is that public opinion ignores the enormous importance of insects. Insects provide numerous ecosystem services that are fundamental to our planet. Insects are the food for many species of birds and small mammals, which in the absence of insects would become extinct. Insects perform pollination, a function necessary for 87% of all plant species and three-quarters of human cultivation, thus providing a service whose value is estimated at between 235 and 577 billion dollars a year worldwide. Insects carry out an important biological control action by recycling nutrients and helping the decomposition processes of organic materials. If attributed to an economic value it is estimated that this would amount to at least $57 billion a year in the United States alone.
However, we still do not know enough about the function of many insects, nor are we able to understand the multitude of complex interactions that occur between different organisms within an ecosystem. To account for the value of these creatures we cannot rely on their presumed economic value. Rather, we must be taken into consideration the argument maintaining that non-human living beings have the right to be on this Earth as much as we do. "Do we not have a moral duty to take care of our travelling companions on planet Earth, whether they are penguins, pandas or insects?"
From an anthropocentric perspective, for which we must inevitably adopt, states that we are faced with a problem that seriously jeopardizes the survival and well-being of our society. While the current decline of insects is a reality, it is not irreversible. Governments and civil society must take responsibility by taking action to combat this phenomenon. As the report points out, there are many solutions which are not difficult to implement and which do not entail high costs from an economic point of view nor a cultural point of view.
Although originally designed for the UK, the proposals set out by the Somerset Wildlife Trust can easily be extensible on a much larger scale. Suggesting the need for a sharp decrease in the use of pesticides, as these chemicals are not only increasingly being used, but are much more powerful and harmful than those synthesized a few decades ago. Using these pesticides must be regulated with precise rules and sanctions, and a commitment creating a "Nature Recovery Network" by making our gardens and cities greener by creating habitats that encourage the growth of the plant and animal biodiversity. Another substantial change concerns the agricultural sector. Monocultures that rely on the support of high production rates and low costs required by the market use a massive amount of pesticides and fertilizers. A new crop model based on the principles of an ecological process that is applied to an agricultural production system called Agroecology. Agroecology is considered of eminent importance by organizations such as the FAO and UNEP as the best agricultural method for environmental, economic and social sustainability.
A concerted and shared action plan between administrators and civil society is needed that promotes a new approach to this critical situation. In terms of sustainability, in the exploitation of nature and without the timely assumption of this commitment, the present condition is likely to become not only normal but also irreversible.

Some of you may remember a post I made a few weeks ago about some sunglasses that Dresslink was sending me. And guys, they came! Not only that, but they're kind of amazing. They're all very lightweight, not too dark, and they look pretty freaking cute. None of them feel incredibly sturdy, but I wasn't really expecting them to be, so it's all good. The blue circle ones are so funky and make me feel like I belong in a fashion shoot. They're probably my least favorite, just because they're a little too crazy for me, but they are kind of a work of art, so it's all good. The mirrored aviators remind me of a) James Bond, or b) Sunbeamsjess, both of whom have great eyewear. The all black ones look incredibly cool, especially with an all black outfit. They're probably the most sturdy as well, so if you're looking for a more well made pair, go for them. My favorite pair are sort of a mix between cat eye and aviator (pair number 3), and I've already worn them several times. They look like something Rita Skeeter would wear, with a poison green suit. I love their retro vibes.
In the spirit of full disclosure, the blue and the silver have very reflective lenses, and the other two have slightly reflective ones. However, I did blur out the lenses because my room was messy when I took these, and in the reflective lenses you could really tell. Sorry about that.
love the last look of the trio'ed sunglasses!
Stunning selection of sunnies Miss!
You can rock all of those crazy sunglasses. I'm so happy I'm not the only one who wears some like those.


According to UNICEF, the prevalence of Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) in Liberia is 66%. Terre des Femmes notes that in Liberia FGM is usually practised as an initiation into the secret 'sande' society. During this initiation marking the transition from childhood to adulthood, girls spend some time apart from the rest of the community in a holy place, usually outside the city or village. There, girls learn what they need to know as adults and FGM/C is performed. During inititation girls have to prove their strong will and self-control, as no anaesthetic is used. Moreover, they are cut with non-sterile instruments, which are used on several girls in succession.
The GIZ fact sheet on FGM in Liberia notes that in rural areas, 72% of women are members of the women's association that 'initiates' girls, namely sande societies, while in urban areas only 39% are members. FGM/C is most common in northwest Liberia with a prevalence of 84% and in the central northern region with a prevalence of 92%. FGM/C is seldom found in south-eastern Liberia. This is due to different ethnic groups living in the different regions. FGM/C is commonly practised among the Mende, Gola, Kissi and Bassa, but hardly ever among the Kru, Grebo and Krahn, the Muslim Mandinke and the American-Liberian population. The most common type of FGM/C is excision.
The fact sheet notes further that national legislation making FGM/C illegal has not yet been passed. In theory, Article 242 of the penal code, stating that amputation of body parts is a crime, could be used in cases of FGM/C. Liberia ratified the ICESCR in 2004, acceded to CEDAW in 1984, ratified the CRC in 1993 and the Banjul Charter in 1982.

One of my favorite pieces of 20th century music is Alban Berg's hauntingly beautiful Violin Concerto. The Violin Concerto is in 4 sections, with no break between them. We're only going to look at the last section, where an unusual Bach chorale speaks to us in a 20th century voice. Berg combines serialism from modern music with a Bach chorale from the Baroque era. To me, this unexpected combination gives us the best of both musical worlds!
Before we look at the concerto, let's learn a little about the two primary sources Berg used: Serialism and Bach.
One form of serialism is the "twelve tone technique". As the name implies, twelve tone technique essentially gives all twelve notes equal importance. Tonality, by contrast, emphasizes one note as the "tonic" or "home note". Another name for twelve tone technique is dodecaphony. A particular sequence of the twelve tones to be used in a specific composition is called a "tone row".
As you can see in the example, a tone row includes every note of the chromatic scale exactly once, and no note is more important than any other note. Once a tone row has been created, a composer creates an entire piece based on this sequence of notes.
One of the reasons composers developed serialism was to break away from tonality and its reliance on major and minor chords. Berg, however, uses a tone row which includes a series of major and minor chords! The four chords outlined are based on G, D, A, E. These notes are also the four open strings of the violin. The main section of his tone row has been carefully created to work well with his solo instrument.
The end of the tone row takes us to a new world – the first 4 notes of the whole tone scale. We shall soon see how this tone row is related to the Bach chorale.
The Bach Chorale "Es ist genug" is unusual because it begins with the first four notes of the whole tone scale. These four notes outline a tritone. Whole tone scales and tritone arrivals were not hallmarks of Baroque writing!
"Est ist genug" is a chorale about death, and about the soul's joy of reaching heaven. "It is enough! Lord, if it please Thee, my Jesus, come! World, good night. I go to the heavenly house, with a heart full of joy. My sorrows remain below." The first four notes would have been almost outrageous for that time period, had it not been for their interpretation as a musical figure depicting the soul's crossing over from life into death.
Berg subtitled his concerto "To the Memory of an Angel". The angel he was remembering was Manon Gropius.
Manon was like a daughter to the childless Bergs. Berg's wife even kept a picture of Manon by her bedside. By all accounts she was a lovely child, much beloved by all who knew her. Tragically, she contracted polio and died before her 19th birthday.
Berg was working on his opera Lulu when Manon died unexpectedly. He set aside the opera to work on a violin concerto, dedicated to Manon. He was greatly affected by her death and poured his grief, anger and finally, acceptance into the new work.
The two movements each have two sections. Taken as a whole, the piece outlines a journey from life to death and finally to divine radiance. Both sections of the first movement represent life. The two sections of the second movement represent death and then the calmer, more peaceful acceptance and transfiguration.

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Preview | Team News, Stats & Key Men
EPL Index > Chelsea (NN) > Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Preview | Team News, Stats & Key Men
On December 17th, Crystal Palace will host league leaders Chelsea at Selhurst Park. Both teams will have a quick turnaround after playing on Wednesday and will be desperate for the three points, but for very different reasons.
After yet another loss to Manchester United, Palace boss Alan Pardew is under immense pressure to get results. Despite a summer of singing big players like Christian Benteke and Steve Mandanda, Palace find themselves sitting only three points above the relegation zone. They're in a relegation fight and need all the points they can get.
Chelsea are at the other end of the spectrum, top of the league and looking to extend their lead. After Arsenal's loss on Tuesday, Chelsea extended their lead at the top of the table to six points with their 1-0 win over Sunderland on Wednesday. With Arsenal playing on Sunday and Liverpool playing on Monday, Chelsea will look to at least temporarily widen the gap at the top of the table to nine points.
Palace have been missing some of their big players this season and it looks like that will continue against Chelsea. James Tomkins and Bakary Sako have both recently picked up injuries that will keep them out until the middle of January, according to Physioroom.com. Along with those fresh injuries, Steve Mandanda, Loic Remy, Connor Wickham, Jonathan Benteke, and Pape Souare will all continue to miss out with long term injuries.
When asked if Eden Hazard's injury that kept him out against Sunderland was serious Antonio Conte said, "I don't think so," but Hazard is still a doubt for the match this weekend. John Terry is also still a doubt with his lingering gluteal injury.
Interesting Statistics
There has not been a draw in any of the last 11 meetings between these two teams.
Chelsea have won nine of the last 11 meetings, scoring three or more goals in four of those meetings.
Chelsea have conceded 11 goals this season, tied with Tottenham for the fewest goals conceded in the league.
Crystal Palace have conceded 12 goals in their home matches alone.
Crystal Palace: Wilfried Zaha
Palace have had a very poor season, but their one shining light has been the form of Wilfried Zaha. Zaha struggled against Manchester United, but has overall had a very good start to the season. He's scored three goals and assisted six more in 1285 minutes, so he has contributed to a goal every 142 minutes this season. His goal contribution has been a huge part in keeping Crystal Palace above the relegation zone this season. Along with his goal contribution, he has completed more dribbles per 90 minutes (4.69) than any player that has played at least 700 minutes this season. Chelsea is a arguably the toughest team to break down in the league. Zaha's ability to beat his man and either create a shot for himself or a teammate could be key if they have a shot against Chelsea.
Chelsea: Diego Costa
Chelsea's defence has been fantastic, but their attack has been able to take advantage of their defence because Diego Costa has been on fire this season. The Spaniard has scored 12 non penalty goals, tied with Alexis Sanchez for most in the league. He has got back to the form that won Chelsea the title in the first half of the 2014/2015 season and, if he keeps it up, that could happen again this campaign.
Chelsea really should win this match. They've won 10 straight and an out of form Crystal Palace team is not the team people expect to end that run. Chelsea will likely win this one comfortably.
Prediction: 2-0 Chelsea

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 to be announced on August 7
Samsung finally revealed Samsung Galaxy Note 10's official announce date, that will take place on August 7 at 4 p.m. ET at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The location is the same where the last year's Galaxy Note 9 device was launched.
The galaxy "Note" lineup is known for its stylus pen and usually, it borrows most of the specifications for Galaxy "S" series. The device is expected to bring punch hole camera design as we have seen on Samsung Galaxy S10 smartphones. If the market rumors are believed, we can see two "Note" variant first time in Samsung's history one being a "Pro" version. Both the variants are believed to be powered by Snapdragon 855 processor for the USA and Exynos 9820 for some other markets paired with up to 12GB of RAM.
Furthermore, the Note 10 is expected to bring the vertically-aligned triple rear camera on the back, unlike the S10's horizontally-aligned setup on the rear. Design-wise, it follows the Galaxy Note 9 footprints, of course, with more screen to body ratio following the current market trend. As of now, we have no information regarding its pricing as always, so we have to wait until its official launch for more details. If you are curiously waiting to buy this device? Do let's know in below comment section. For more tech news, stay tuned with us because we only publish data that matters to you!
LinkedIn: Improve Ad Performance by Combining Paid and Organic


The Service Learning Associates (SLA) program engages 8 to 10 undergraduates each semester as student leaders to their peers in service-learning courses. Each SLA works intensively with one professor to support a service-learning course that aligns with the SLA's academic background and interests. The SLAs meet regularly with both faculty and fellow SLAs throughout the semester and attend professional development trainings facilitated by the Office of Service Learning. SLAs provide much-needed logistical support to faculty, promote service learning on campus, and lead their peers in critical reflection multiple times throughout the semester. SLAs serve as liaisons to students and the community and work in partnership with faculty on facilitating high quality service learning. This session will highlight and discuss these student-faculty partnerships, a teaching-learning model that situates students as co-educators, the challenges and successes of peer educators in service learning, and how the SLA program complements other student leadership programs on campus.

EXT. LOS ANGELES
A VEHICLE full of STOCK BAD GUYS drives down the highway, shooting COPS and WREAKING HAVOC while trying to outrun a FIVE-STAR WANTED LEVEL. WILL SMITH drunkenly flies to them and hops into their car.
Hey fellas. I'm here to display sarcastic attitude in order to show that I totally don't care about my superpowers or whatever.
Then why did you bother showing up to stop us at all?
Because if I didn't, Dave Chapelle was going to get the lead in this movie. Nobody steals the July 4th weekend box office from Will Smith!
WILL picks the car up and throws it down on top of a building, destroying the car, the building, and the special effects team's weekend plans.
Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout!
Meanwhile...
INT. OFFICE BUILDING
JASON BATEMAN talks to a group of businessmen.
...and when you start to give your product away for free, you can put this fruity looking heart logo on your products. What do you think?
I'm sorry, did someone just splice a different movie into this thing? Why is your PR campaign backstory given so much detail? Who gives a shit?
JASON BATEMAN drives home, but gets stuck on TRAIN TRACKS as a TRAIN approaches. WILL SMITH flies in and saves JASON by DESTROYING THE TRAIN.
BYSTANDERS
Boo! You're the worst mildly satirical superhero ever! You're worse than The Tick!
Dammit, is this movie going to do anything to explain why I keep trying to help the shit-eating dickwads that inhabit this city?
I think you could use my help, Will. Your intentions were to do something good, but instead created a massive trainwreck.
Are you talking about the train, or this movie?
The train. I'm a Public Relations something-or-other. I can help you with your image.
Er, how exactly do you intend to make any money doing that?
My plan is just to stay in the movie. When the camera zooms in uncomfortably close during dialogue scenes, I'll sell advertisement space on my forehead.
WILL and JASON go to JASON'S HOUSE for dinner. JASON'S WIFE, CHARLIZE THERON, gives WILL incessant knowing glances, indicating to everyone in the AUDIENCE with half a brain that she has some kind of prior relationship with him.
Thanks for the spaghetti and meatballs. So how did you manage to land a wife so far out of your league, Jason?
It's a funny story, actually. See, I thought she was just quirky and British, but it turned out that she was mentally handicapped. There was all of this confusion with her uncle, who I thought was named "Mr. F," and...
Will doesn't want to hear that story, dear.
(to Will Smith)
Tell us how you found out you had superpowers.
Well, I just woke up in the hospital with plot-convenient amnesia about my own origin story. Like Wolverine, but poorly written. All I had in my pocket were two tickets to see 'Frankenstein' and a few dollar bills that weren't in circulation at the time. I was asked to sign "John Hancock" when I left the hospital, so I thought that was my name because having amnesia turns me into a moron. When I got out, I whistled for a cab, and when it came near, the license plate said "fresh" and there were dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare, but I thought "naw forget it, yo home to bel-air!"
The PUBLIC demand that WILL SMITH go to JAIL for ACTING LIKE AN ASSHOLE, which is apparently a crime. He DOES, largely because the story has NOWHERE TO GO.
RANDOM CRIMINAL
Welcome to jail. I'm going to assume that your powers are somehow deactivated now and therefore I am capable of intimidating you.
If you don't get out of my way, I'm going to turn this movie into a cartoon.
WILL literally shoves his head up SOMEONE'S ASS and the SCREENWRITERS race to remove their names from the CREDITS.
Hey Will. Looks like my plan to have you stay in jail until the plot progressed itself worked. There's a bank robbery in progress. I have a costume for you.
Er, did you make a costume with a permanently popped collar? Does your image-improvement plan just consist of converting me from an asshole into a douchebag?
WILL flies to a BANK ROBBERY and tries to stop EDDIE MARSAN.
You'll never stop me, you typecast asshole!
Nobody calls me an asshole!
Ah, a graduate of the Marty McFly School of Characterization, I see.
WILL stops EDDIE and sends him off to JAIL, saving the day!
Well that takes care of that. All in all, a pretty decent climax to a flawed, uneven, but largely tolerable comic book movie.
(checks his watch)
What the hell, how can we only be 45 minutes into this thing? Everything from the trailer was shown and it had 3 distinct acts!
I seriously suggest everyone leave the theater right now and pretend the first half was the whole movie. Things are about to get awful.
What, why? This was a relatively fun superhero flick about a sassy but charming loser that must reluctantly learn to become heroic while making sarcastic quips. How could it possibly go wrong?
I'm a superhero too. And I've been living out a secret identity as a housewife. And we were "made in pairs." And there used to be hundreds of us. And when we're near each other, we lose our power. And we're a thousand years old. And we used to be married.
Oh. Yeah. That'll do it.
WILL and CHARLIZE have a destructive FIGHT through the city for no particular reason. This causes no apparent loss of powers, but then later it DOES.
INT. PRISON
EDDIE MARSAN conspires with OTHER CRIMINALS.
I'm totally going to get revenge on Will Smith. Help me break out of here and then I'll go shoot him.
Shoot him? But you already know he's invulnerable against bullets.
Yeah well, maybe by now there's been an extremely awkward and idiotic plot twist that renders him weaker than earlier in the movie.
I dunno, man. That would be pretty fucking embarrassingly stupid. Like, I'd have to assume everyone involved in making the movie would be unable to show their faces in public again for something that idiotic.
EDDIE escapes and goes after WILL. WILL gets HURT, which apparently also hurts CHARLIZE THERON.
Will, don't forget that this movie was directed by the same guy who made "Very Bad Things." What's the stupidest possible explanation for how you can get your powers back?
Um, walk a few feet away? Or maybe even super-leap away using powers I don't have right now?
WILL leaps away from CHARLIZE and everyone HEALS. EDDIE is DEFEATED and WILL carves JASON'S LAME HEART LOGO into the MOON just to be an ASSHOLE.
It's staggering that a movie that has been in pre-production for a decade could end up feeling so rushed. Why did this piece of garbage get crammed into the summer so quickly?
Same reason as The Incredible Hulk, Wanted, and Hellboy 2. We needed our comic book movie to make all of it's money before The Dark Knight came out and spanked everyone. Thanks for the cash, suckers!

Good afternoon! Just a friendly reminder that orders should be placed today for pick up this week starting Wednesday at 4pm.
Hello my friends! I hope you are staying warm on this chilly evening. I, for one, appreciate the moisture and Winter weather, but my body has become a bit spoiled by the warm Winter. I find myself hibernating.
I've posted the menu for this week and I plan to keep the staples consistent from week to week. I want to make sure I'm complying with the Cottage Food Act and also simplify things as I adjust to my new space, do more work on my cookbook, and set up some cooking classes. I do also want to be able to incorporate things like kitchari and soups, veggie pancakes and veggie bowls, sauces, dosas and that sort of special on rotation, but I need to find someone who can give me some advice on how i can do that legally. Perhaps a private membership by donation rather than payment, or something like that…If you know someone in the know who could help me with that, please direct me to them or vice versa.
In the meantime, there is plenty of yummy stuff to choose from here, And that includes quiche, cashew cream cheese and of course the usual sweet and savory baked goods and treats, in addition to some freezer staples that I consider to be "meal-starters", things that give you a foundation to which you can add your own cooked veggies and flare. I am thinking about doing a class demonstrating the use of the meal starters, so let me know if you would be interested in that.
I will do the soaking Monday, so please get orders in by end of day Sunday and they will continue to be ready by 4pm Wednesdays. If you are going to pick up another day after Wednesday, please do let me know so i can keep your food in optimal storage until you are ready for it.
The menu is up for next week. Please place orders before midnight Sunday. Orders will be ready for pick up by 4pm on Wednesday and can be picked up anytime thereafter. Please let me know if you won't pick up Wednesday so I can keep your food stored properly until you are ready for it. Please email your orders to juliahellerman@gmail.com.
Please feel free to check the status of your order via text at 303-931-8357.
Good afternoon! This is a friendly reminder to get your orders in today so I can get the soaking done first thing tomorrow. You can find the link here.
Have a nice Sunday; enjoy the sunshine!
The menu is up for next week. I'm getting back to a regular schedule, so please plan to get orders in on Sunday (by Monday morning). Orders will be ready for pick up by 4pm on Wednesday and you can pick them up that afternoon/evening, or wait until Thursday or Friday, whenever it's convenient for you. Please let me know if you won't pick up Wednesday so I can keep your food stored properly until you are ready for it. Please email your orders to juliahellerman@gmail.com.
Orders are often ready much earlier in the day than 4pm Wednesday, so please feel free to check the status of your order via text at 303-931-8357.
It's Valentine's Day next week and since there are often so many treats available that day, I've offered several options for nutrient-dense treats that are decadent and satisfying. You can have your cake and eat it too!
Hello and happy snowy Sunday!
I have moved into my basement kitchen and have given it a successful (small) test run, so it's time to put out a preorder menu and see how it is goes! I still have some equipment that needs to be installed, and also need to look into how to make some of my products legally at home (perhaps a club of some sort, by donation? not sure yet), but I do have some favorites available in addition to a full bakery selection. Pick up will start Wednesday at 4pm and you are welcome to pick up anytime thereafter. If you won't pick up Wednesday, please specify which day you plan to come so I can keep your food at proper temperature.
Please take a look at the instructions on the menu page, and also note that this will be a work in progress in terms of logistics for the next few weeks or so. Payment options are cash, check, or Zelle, which is an online payment system for right now. I'll have a secure drop box for cash and checks, and also scrap paper, pens, and paperclips so you can note for whom and what you are paying, including the return of any jars which you'll deduct from your total.
I'll be setting up a more consistent baking schedule in the next week or two, and I'm sure tweaking it from there. I expect I'll make kitchari once a month, unless I have a group who wants to order weekly or every other week. I have it on the menu for this week, so I'm thinking the first Wednesday of every month. For bread, I'll group orders by regular chia flax, buckwheat only, and sugar free breads which are made with the chia flax batter with coconut sugar omitted, and include sf chia flax loaves, onion-herb loaves, focaccia, mini focaccia, buns, and crusts. The rest of the schedule will be build based on demand, so stay tuned as I take orders and see what you all really want.
