Discover the richness of our Decaffeinatos

For coffee lovers who prefer their coffee without caffeine, we have a selection of decaffeinated coffees. Like the regular coffees in our range, they all have a distinctive aromatic profile and are as rich and strong as coffee should be.

coffees in this range

The decaffeinating process

Caffeine occurs naturally in coffee beans and tea leaves. It repels harmful insects and ensures that the seeds have enough space to germinate. Pure caffeine is water-soluble. So we remove it from the beans prior to roasting, using a natural water-only or liquid CO2 decaffeination process. This draws out the caffeine molecules, leaving the aromatic components in the bean. So our Decaffeinatos are just as full of flavour and character as our regular coffees.

Decaffeinato roasts

The unique flavour components of every coffee are encapsulated in the green coffee bean. Also when it comes to decaffeinated coffees, these properties are enhanced and intensified during the roasting process, which develops the aromas, body, bitterness and acidity after the caffeine molecules have been removed. With a well-designed roast profile we can create coffees that are just as intense, rich and distinctive as the coffees that inspired them.

The art of grinding

While roasting is a vital part of the process, the extraction of the aromas is determined by the grind. If the grind is too coarse, the water flows through the coffee too quickly and the complex aromas are not fully absorbed. A very fine grind lengthens the extraction time and makes the flavour more intense. But if the grind is too fine the taste is less appealing. So we use exactly the right grind to create a coffee with the perfect aromatic profile.

Milk reveals more of the coffee

Milk reveals the softer notes of the strongest coffees. This is also true of decaffeinated coffees. The touch of creaminess brings out different subtleties in the coffees, highlighting caramel and biscuit notes. You can make silky milk foam with the Aeroccino 4. It can be used to prepare all kinds of coffee and milk recipes and is dishwasher safe.

How NetJets Ensures a Seamless Travel Experience

Eliminating the Stress of Flying

While we all know that commercial air travel can be a stressful experience, a recent survey by The International Air Transport Association has pinpointed exactly what improvements passengers want to make their journey more pleasurable. The survey reveals that most travellers simply want to get through the airport and complete their journey as swiftly as possible.

While technological advancements designed to automate and simplify a passenger’s journey through the airport are currently in development, NetJets is proud to have already successfully eliminated the pain-points identified in the survey. Every single step of the NetJets process is carefully designed and executed to guarantee a painless, stress free experience for our Owners and provide a pleasurable journey.

There are many examples of this:

Minimal time spent moving through and waiting in the airport

While airport technology is one of the fastest developing aspects of the entire aviation industry, at the present time, passengers can still expect to spend hours moving through the airport. Long check-in, bag drop, and security queues often mean valuable time is wasted - even with priority status. The entire process is often exhausting and frustrating.

However, when travelling with NetJets, passengers can expect to move through the airport’s private jet terminal is as little as 10-minutes. Not only does this drastically reduce the time spent waiting fruitlessly, but it means you only have to arrive at the airport less than half an hour before your flight is scheduled.

We understand just how valuable your time is, which is why we aim to preserve as much of it as possible.

Access instant, real-time information about your journey

One of the grievances highlighted in the survey was the lack of information passengers are given in the lead-up to, as well as during, their flight. Lack of information ranks among the top ten customer complaints about airports, according to a study by McKinsey.

For instance, many travelers will have experienced the frustration of arriving at the airport only to discover a flight has been delayed or canceled. Passengers are often left in the dark about certain decisions effecting their flight, leaving them feeling out of control and at the mercy of the airline.

At NetJets, our experienced Owner Services Team communicate directly with our Owners to keep them fully informed of any decisions or updates. Owners are fully involved in making any key decision that will impact their journey. Together with the NetJets team (including the world-class pilots, the in-house Meteorology Team and more), your preferences will fully be take into account to offer a personalised solution.

Personal control over your travel experience

As highlighted above, one of the main contentions of commercial travel is the lack of control that passengers have. It is often unpredictable.

Private jet travel removes this unpredictability, placing control back in the hands of our Owners. Not only do you have the power to say when your flight will be, and which airport you’ll be flying to and from, but you can choose exactly how you would like your environment and experience to be. From ordering a bespoke, personalised menu, to throwing a party on board, we are able to personalise your flight to suit your unique needs and desires.

Complete connectivity

One of the annoyances of commercial travel is the lack of in-air connectivity. We know how important it is for our Owners to stay connected throughout their travels which is why we’re proud to offer on board Wi-Fi connectivity across the NetJets fleet and continue to invest in the very latest technology. You can find out more about Wi-Fi across the NetJets fleet here.

View the Postfix mail queue

April 5, 2012 Linux

If you are having issues sending emails with the Postfix SMTP server, the two best places to look to diagnose the issue, are the log files, and the mail queues.
Any emails that don’t get sent successfully, or that haven’t been sent yet, will be stored in the queue waiting for transmission/re-transmission.
To view the Postfix mail queue, you can use the following command:

postqueue -p

-p = Produce a traditional sendmail-style queue listing.
After the Queue ID field in the output from the above command, there may appear on optional identifier that will tell you if the email is in the ‘active’ queue, or the ‘hold queue’. One of the two examples below contains the * identifier.

* = The message is in the active queue, i.e. the message is selected for delivery.
! = The message is in the hold queue, i.e. no further delivery attempt will be made until the mail is taken off hold.

Example outputs:

 postqueue -p
-Queue ID- --Size-- ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient-------
CE20DF0282     2333 Wed Apr  4 16:29:58  sender@sourcedomainname.local

    Dear Admin,
    Thanks for the information. Well do you have a specific command to see the postfix mail transcation from a particular email address to another email address ( for any date/for the past date, etc?)

    • admin December 19, 2012 at 9:04 pm

      The only way I am aware of being able to do this is via the postfix log file. These are generally saved as /var/log/mail.log.
      There might be another way to do what you want, but I’m not aware of it. If you do find a way, please let us know.

A high school for all South Africans

21 July 2021 | VC Prof Mamokgethi Phakeng

Dear students and colleagues

There is no doubt that we live in two South Africas.

One South Africa was celebrated by Dr Blade Nzimande, the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation, in June last year when he told the 4IR Virtual Conference organised by FUZE Business Initiative: “I am always filled with hope for the future and for our country when witnessing the creativity, adaptability and devotion of …. people making use of innovative and interactive technologies.”

The other South Africa is the one where children cannot access quality education, either because it is not available in their area, they cannot afford private education or the schools that are available to them are poorly equipped and possibly overcrowded. The devastating result is that they fall by the wayside, condemned to a lifelong struggle with no way out of poverty.

Sadly, the gulf between the two South Africas is widening. Yet the fate of all of us is knit together. Our future, in many ways, depends on narrowing that divide and educating our people and particularly the youth.

This is one of the major reasons why the Council of the University of Cape Town (UCT) agreed at its meeting of Saturday, 19 June, to support a proposal to create the UCT Online High School, in partnership with Valenture Institute, a new start-up in the online secondary education space.

The UCT Online High School is an expression of the massive transformative purpose we have committed to in UCT’s Vision 2030 – to unleash human potential for a fair and just society. It is also a practical way of demonstrating that UCT wants to be not only the best university in South Africa but also the best for South Africa.

In developing the UCT Online High School, we sought out an experienced partner that understands the complexities of education in South Africa. Valenture is already running a highly effective micro school project in Mitchells Plain in collaboration with the Western Cape Education Department. In the 2020 academic year, on average, learners at the micro school jumped three grade levels in Maths, Science and English.

Robert Paddock, the chief executive of Valenture, says: “Bold moves are required to address the many challenges facing the education sector in South Africa. We are thrilled to partner with UCT to launch this timely initiative to become the first University on the African continent to extend its expertise and impact to the secondary schooling market through an innovative online modality.”

The approval by the UCT Council to proceed with this exciting initiative means that we are on a tight deadline with the Valenture Institute to implement this new venture in time for the 2022 learner intake.

The full curriculum of the UCT High School will be available as an open education resource throughout South Africa. This means learners will have free access to a self-paced curriculum where they can progress at their own pace. South Africans who failed matric can use the online curriculum to repeat the matric year. The interactive content is intuitively organised, easily searchable and most of it can be downloaded for offline access.

In addition, the UCT Online High School will improve education in South Africa by opening one of the most affordable and accessible private schools in the country. It will be accessible to all learners, including those from disadvantaged communities. We are pursuing partnerships to not only subsidise the fees, but also to establish a series of blended learning micro schools throughout the country – based on the successful pilot programme in Mitchells Plain. These micro schools will be available for learners who need the safety of a physical space, as well as access to reliable hardware and internet connection to complete their studies.

The UCT Online High School provides an ecosystem of support to create a path of success for every learner. They can attend one of our micro schools, participate in the open access programmes through a government school or do so through a programme set up outside the school system, for instance by parents or through an NGO. This is how South Africa can create true transformation: by grasping this opportunity for every learner to receive an excellent education that will prepare them to become leaders in their chosen professions.

Today we officially launched the school at a special staff meeting where we shared information about the school’s January 2022 intake and other facets of the school.

We know that some of our colleagues and students might not have been able to join us. Those include colleagues and students who are celebrating Eid ul Adha. Eid Mubarak!

We have recorded the launch so you can catch up and enjoy the launch with the rest of the community.

We are profoundly excited and look forward to this this new adventure.

Christmas Madness

Halloween? At Christmas? Moooo!

This is an allusion to the Berkeley Farms commercials that were prevalent in the San Francisco Bay Area and which went as follows: “Farms? In Berkeley? Moooo!” We feel similarly in reading the “Christmas Madness” infographic. It seems that, in contrast to the traditions of Christmas in America, many other countries observe or practice the traditions of Halloween at Christmastime. We suppose that this is very ironic because, in the United States, Christmas has become less and less a religious holiday, and more of a merchant holiday (much as it is in India) and that Christmas signs and promotions appear before Halloween arrives.

Christmas does appear to be more and more of a merchant holiday (although one that has Christmas traditions). The infographic also reports that 30-35 million Christmas trees will be sold in the United States. This is about 10% of the population. This, at first glance may appear to be low, but you have to realize that there are many single people (both young and widowed). There are also enormous numbers of homeless people, and in the state of California, it was recently reported that about ⅓ of the population are dependent on government subsidies for food. Thus, it is primarily the family households who buy Christmas trees. On the other hand, a great many businesses purchase Christmas trees, so the percentage of individuals purchasing trees may indeed be quite low.

At times, it seems that there is no more Christmas in Christmas. Moooo!

Likes: We enjoyed reading the Christmas traditions which were new to us.

Dislikes: It would have been better if it had elaborated upon the crazy and outrageous gifts.

The case of the disappearing giblets: why do most chickens now come without livers, hearts and toenails?

A Tesco spokesman tells me the company hasn’t sold them for “many, many years”.

By Felicity Cloake

There’s something a bit unnerving about catching sight of a yellowed toenail as your dinner bobs about in the pan… yet also, once you’ve hastily checked they’re clean, oddly satisfying. Though they’re little used in the UK, gelatine-rich chicken feet make superb soup, and the decision to leave them on this four-month old Indian Game chicken was, according to Yorkshire-based online butchers Farmison & Co, partly inspired by the “more authentic and less ‘clinical’” French tradition of selling birds whole, heads and all.

Feet are one thing, but I’m relieved not to have look it in the beady eye as I drop it into the pot: having retrieved its scrawny neck from its arse, I add that too, and then chop the neat package of accompanying innards to gild my prune and sausage-meat stuffing.

All this is a far cry from the very first chicken I ever served up, in a rented hovel with a fine crop of mushrooms sprouting from the side of the bath. Proudly I brought my bronzed bird to the table, reached inside for the Paxo – and brought forth a melted plastic bag. Fortunately, hungry students aren’t particularly picky.

When, unable to find a single supermarket bird with innards, I try and find out where they’ve all gone, a Tesco spokesman tells me it hasn’t sold them for “many, many years”, partly because consumers “are not used to removing giblets”. Some blame their disappearance on “EU hygiene regulations”, though giblets are still common in supermarkets on the Continent and C Lidgate, Nigella Lawson’s favourite butcher, says that it has not heard so much as a squawk on the matter.The supermarkets’ explanation, that it’s down to “changing consumer tastes” as Sainsbury’s puts it, seems more likely (Waitrose even reports that customers are now “more reluctant to handle the chicken” at all, hence the popularity of roast-in-the-bag birds). But Devon’s Pipers Farm – which processes about 400 chickens a week, each of which goes out with its full complement of giblets – says only around ten customers a year ask for them to be left out.

Such retailers are of course minnows compared to the big guys, whose suppliers might process 26,000 birds an hour. Removing offal is fiddly work, and if you’re dealing in bigger volumes, hardly cost-effective for an increasingly niche product with an inconveniently short shelf life. Better to sell the livers separately and send the rest, like Sainsbury’s, for pet food. (Louise Gray, author of The Ethical Carnivore, informs me that heads and feet often go to South Africa, to be sold for a stew rejoicing in the name Walkie Talkie.)

Yet one might reasonably wonder which came first, the lack of availability or the lack of demand: if we’re no longer offered the choice, then we’ll never know how much more value you can get for a few extra pence. Catherine Phipps, whose book Chicken includes an entire chapter on “The Offally Bits”, suggests that, if you buy a chicken a week and freeze the giblets, it won’t be long before you have enough of each to make a proper meal out of them, an Indian curry or a Tuscan ragu – “There’s a lot going for livers and hearts in particular: they’re very cheap and very nutritious, loaded as they are with iron, folate and a host of vitamins.”

She even has a recipe in there for braised necks – but draws the line at feet, saying the instructions to cut off the toenails make her feel “quite nauseous”. I’m happy to report the dog is far less squeamish.

Liverpool Labour councillor resigns over Ed Miliband posing with the Sun

Following the Labour leader's controversial pose with the Sun's special World Cup issue, Liverpool councillor Martin Cummins has resigned in protest.

By Anoosh Chakelian

It’s been a tough couple of days for the Labour leader, which he has played poorly. His pose with the Sun‘s special World Cup edition, which the newspaper tweeted yesterday, has resulted in much outrage from party activists, culminating in a Liverpool Labour councillor Martin Cummins resigning this afternoon. The resignation comes in spite of Miliband apologising for the photo earlier today – another ill-judged move.

As reported in the Liverpool Echo, Cummins wrote in his resignation letter that, “seeing Ed promoting the Sun has rocked me to my core”, and called for the Labour party to “stop compromising” its morals.

We are the the party of truth, justice and equality and we must stop compromising on our moral foundation just to win votes.

It is therefore with sadness and sincere regret that I am resigning from the Labour Party.

I pray that my brothers and sisters within our Labour family will understand my decision.

The tabloid remains extremely unpopular in Merseyside, due to its erroneous coverage of the Hillsborough disaster. Cummins seems to protest more against the paper and the Labour leader’s advisers than Miliband himself:

This paper’s degradation of women on page three should be enough to consign it to history, but the infamy of The Sun’s lies and deceit regarding our loved ones who lost their lives at Hillsborough should be enough for millions across our country to shred this deeply offensive rag when it oozes through their letter boxes, stains their hallways and pollutes their lives.

I believe Ed has listened to unwise counsel in associating himself, and our party, with this degrading publication.

I appreciate how difficult it must have been to take the decision but I believe the Sun’s under-handed publicity stunt, which is nothing to do with support for our national team, will backfire.

I believe that God works in mysterious ways and seeing Ed promoting The Sun has rocked me to my core.

 The photo op, intended to support the English football team, also backfired somewhat because of Miliband’s repeated condemnation of the Murdoch media empire during his leadership.

Pansy Division's Punk Beat Smashes Gay Stereotype

The gays and lesbians fighting for equal rights have a lot going for their movement. There's the whole tide-of-history thing, of course, our deeply rooted inclination toward inclusion of those different from us that makes America great. But there's also anger; the passage of California's anti–gay marriage Proposition 8 has galvanized the gay community in a way not seen since the death of Matthew Shepard, and a little righteous fury is key to any civil-rights movement. But there's an important thing missing: an appropriate soundtrack. (Story continued below...)

The stereotype is that gay men's music tastes favor pop divas and show tunes, while lesbians dig sensitive folk, and to let Jon Ginoli tell it, that stereotype is truer than it is false. That's why, in 1991, Ginoli founded Pansy Division, an out-and-proud punk-rock band. Pansy Division's sound was influenced heavily by '70s-era punk bands like the Ramones and the Sex Pistols. Like those groups, Pansy Division keeps the songs short, sweet and snotty. And after taking a six-year break to work day jobs—homocentric rock music isn't exactly reaping a windfall—the band has returned with "That's So Gay," its seventh album. And not a moment too soon—"Gay" is a catchy call to arms for the gays and lesbians who say they want a revolution while their iPods tell a different story.

Pansy Division emerged as the best known of the gay punk bands that made up the queercore movement of the early '90s. A cadre of groups, Team Dresch and God Is My Co-Pilot among them, built a passionate cult of gay kids who needed to hear lyrics that empowered them. But unlike their predecessors, Pansy Division was introduced to mainstream audiences when, in 1994, Green Day selected them as the opening act for a national tour. "The reception was definitely mixed to say the least," says Ginoli, who has written a memoir of his experiences to coincide with the CD and documentary. "Some of the straight kids couldn't stand us, but some of them really loved us, but that's what we expected. It changed the makeup of our audiences for a long time." These days, he says, the audiences skew older and gayer, but that's fine, because the choir is in the mood to be preached to.

Music fuels revolutions, and is typically their most enduring cultural artifact. It's hard to imagine the black-power movement without James Brown and Curtis Mayfield, or the Vietnam War opposition without Bob Dylan and Joan Baez. Protest music has to be pointed, confrontational and unapologetic. But the voices likely to deliver those messages for the gay community are few these days. Most of the bands that cropped up when Pansy Division did are missing in action, having stopped touring and recording, or having broken up completely. A new Team Dresch album, rumored to come out last year, still hasn't materialized. "That's So Gay" should fill the gap. It features songs like the title track, which addresses the use of the word "gay" as an umbrella epithet, a trend that has seen startling popularity among 13-year-olds of all ages. The band isn't humbly requesting tolerance on the track, they're demanding it: "I heard what you said, just a figure of speech/If you meant nothing by it, practice what you preach/ The next time you say it, you'd better think twice/Some pissed-off faggot may not take it too nice." "I got tired of hearing young people throw that phrase around," Ginoli says. "I felt like it was a threat that needed to be answered. It's a funny song, but an angry song." They're here, they sneer, get used to it.

But despite the tough talk, Ginoli believes that the well-worn tradition of non-violent protest is the way to go for acceptance of gays and lesbians, just as it was for African-Americans and women before them. But Pansy Division's music provides a constructive outlet for the frustration and rage that the band's audience has over being denied its rights. When the group's tour launches in June, fans will be able to come to the shows, dance until they're sweaty, then take that enthusiasm and energy and use it to get involved. Recent victories for gay-marriage advocates in Iowa, Vermont and Washington, D.C., show the changes that a fired-up constituency can help enact. "It's a pivotal time for the gay community," Ginoli says, "and it would be incredible if our music could play a part in that progress."

There's been equal progress in the band's own diversity. After its early years of being rigid about keeping the band all gay, it has since welcomed a new guitarist, Joel Reader, the first heterosexual member to join the band. "On a lot of college campuses now, the gay organization is called the Gay-Straight Alliance," Ginoli says. "It's much less an us-versus-them thing than it used to be. So I'm not worried that we'll lose our gay cred." Far be it from anyone to suggest Pansy Division isn't gay enough.

Interview With Author Erika Rummel

Introducing myself:

I am a historian by profession and have taught at the University of Toronto and Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo. I published more than a dozen books on social history, then moved on to fiction and am now the author of five novels. I was born in Vienna and came to Canada to study, but more importantly, to get away from an ultra-conservative society and from Austria’s Nazi past. That, it turns out, is impossible. You can’t run away from your communal past, but I did find a way of dealing with it: in my writings. I have written about antisemitism both in fiction and non-fiction, specifically in The Inquisitor’s Niece, which received the Colorado Publishers’ annual award for best historical novel. Vienna is a character, so to speak, in several of my novels: The Painting on Auerperg’s Wall (the recovery of a painting acquired under murky circumstances in Nazi occupied Vienna) and Three Women and Alfred Nobel, about which I want to tell you more.

The story behind Three Women and Alfred Nobel:

When Nobel died in 1896, he left funds to establish the Nobel Prizes. Everyone knows that, but few people know that he also left a generous annuity to a Viennese woman by the name of Sofie Hess, who was his mistress for many years. You won’t find much about her on the website of the Nobel Foundation. Clearly, the board is determined to protect the image of Nobel and set him up as an ideal – an intellectual genius and an admirable philanthropist. They are coy about the fact that he had a mistress – a Jewish mistress! Paradoxically, he was also an anti-Semite. To keep Hess from publishing Nobel’s letters and revealing his less desirable traits, the Foundation bought the letters from her and kept them under wraps for 80 years. They finally deposited them in the National Archive in Stockholm. I obtained copies of the correspondence – more than 200 letters –and published an English translation (A Nobel Affair) in 2017.

Here is their story: Lonely millionaire falls in love with young Viennese flower girl and sets her up in an apartment in Paris. At first everything is wonderful, but it’s a “My Fair Lady” situation. He tries to educate her. She balks. Intellectual matters bore her, she wants to party and live life to the fullest. He turns into an old curmudgeon and accuses her and her family of being gold-diggers, “typical Jews,” but keeps supporting her. She gets pregnant by another man…

It has the makings of a novel, right? So I wrote the novel: Three Women and Alfred Nobel, published in 2018.

Fact and Fiction:

How closely does Three Women and Alfred Nobel reflect history? Of the three women protagonists, two are historical figures – Sofie Hess, Nobel’s mistress, and the pacifist Berta von Suttner, who was briefly Nobel’s secretary and persuaded him to set up the Nobel Peace Prize. I do respect my historical sources, but that said, I also consider it my right to guess at what the sources omit and to fill in the gaps. Putting words into the mouths of historical characters is my job as a novelist. Ida, the third female character, is my creation. You might think that Sofie’s story is dramatic enough by itself. Why invent another character? Because her story is too predictable for the kind of psychological novel I had in mind. Older man is attracted to sexy young woman. She cheats on him. He turns on her. The relationship falls apart. A little too simple, no? Berta von Suttner, the second historical character in my novel, adds another dimension: Nobel treated her with respect and supported her ideals. We now have two contradictory images of Nobel– the domineering male chauvinist on the one hand and the enlightened philanthropist on the other. This is where Ida, my invented character, comes in. I give her the job of sorting out the truth about Nobel. I made her a writer who wants to expose Nobel’s profiteering and his unscrupulous business practices. In chasing after him, she learns of events in Nobel’s life that soften her attitude toward him and put his actions in perspective. She also learns a great deal about herself. And that’s the theme of all my novels: characters making their way through the complexities of life and ultimately “finding themselves.” Well, maybe Ida is my stand-in. Novel writing has always been a way of finding myself.

Big Mistakes/negative feedback:

My biggest mistake is (or maybe I can say, was) impatience. As soon as I had finished writing, I thought I was done and immediately wanted to find a publisher for my novel. I’ve come to realize that writing the novel is only a first stage: churning out the raw product. I have to let the manuscript sit, revise it, and revise it again. Rushing a story is a bad thing. I’ve also learned to listen to my friends’ criticism. I used to be really thin-skinned. The mildest criticism hurt me terribly, and I argued back vigorously. I’ve now made it my motto that “The Reader is Always Right.” My friends may not always be able to put their finger on the problem, but if something bothers them, there IS a problem and I need to fix it.

Sources of creativity/writer’s block:

I divide my time between Toronto and Los Angeles. I’ve also lived in small villages in Argentina, Bulgaria, and Romania. I find travel a great motivator for writing. I am full of new impressions that need to be translated into words. At the same time, I often feel isolated and disoriented when I travel, especially if I don’t speak the language of the country. So I write – to get it all out of my system, the loneliness and the confusion, but also the excitement and the pleasure of exploring my new surroundings. That seems to eliminate writer’s block. When I’m home, I write every day at set times, pretending I’m an employee and writing is my paid job. In a way it is a job, but it’s also an obsession, an inner imperative.

Plans for future books:

I have another novel coming out next year: The Loneliness of the Time Traveller, a split-time novel, set in present-day Los Angeles and 18th century London. The story in brief: A time-traveller becomes nostalgic for her 18th century origins but needs to hunt down a manuscript in a rare book library to channel her return trip. The race is on: she needs to get to the 18th century in time to save her great love from being hanged for a murder he didn’t commit.

Where Does Jennifer Aydin Live And How Big Is Her House?

The ladies behind Real Housewives of New Jersey sure know how to live large. While there have been a few real estate shifts in 2020 — including Teresa Giudice putting her $2.5 million home on the market and sister-in-law Melissa Gorga finally selling her property after years on the market — no house can compare to Jennifer Aydin's lavish estate.

The Housewife is reportedly worth $11 million, in part due to husband Dr. Bill Aydin's successful plastic surgery private practice, and it's clear she put a few million dollars into her house. The Aydin family built their impressive Paramus, New Jersey home, and Jennifer even gave Bravo fans a special tour of her living quarters — which includes multiple levels and even 24-karat gold details. Keep scrolling to find out more about Jennifer's house, and why viewers can't stop talking about her many, many bathrooms! Seriously, it's over a dozen. Who needs all that room to freshen up?!

Jennifer Aydin loves her 16 bathrooms

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Jennifer Aydin may make her husband Dr. Bill Aydin sleep in the guest house, but there's already plenty of room in their home for many, many guests. As a mother to four kids, Jennifer has to make time for herself — and designing 16 bathrooms in her house is one way to do it. For Bill's separate bathroom (could this be another indicator that their marriage is in trouble?), Jennifer told Bravo's Style & Living that she installed a crocodile wall covered in black for a "masculine yet modern" design element. Bill even has his own toilet!

Jennifer revealed her favorite bathroom out of the sixteen: the main powder room with a "beautiful 24-karat gold colored Phylrich faucet and ornate mirror," as she put it. Of course, their 12,000-square foot property has other perks like a two-story indoor basketball court, a private movie theater, a spa sauna, and a pool house, Bill's "escape home" where he spends a considerable amount of time, as Jennifer said, per The SunThe Bergen County house is reportedly valued at $3 million and took three years to remodel after purchasing it for $1.4 million in 2014, per BustleNew Jersey residents may know its street, Alpine Drive, according to property records

If Jennifer and Bill need space in their marriage, at least they can find that at home!

How wealthy are you compared with other Australians?

How wealthy are you

It’s human nature to assume our own experiences are typical. When it comes to money, looks or brains, most of us think we’re average – or a perhaps a little above average but not too much. We’re still, you know, normal.

Often our self-perceptions and misperceptions do no harm at all. But when it comes to a debate about public policy and tax reform, it’s important we all agree where the middle is.

When Labor released its dividend imputation policy recently, debate raged about whether it was affecting the well off or catching ordinary people in the net. Each case study was grist to the mill for both supporters and critics of the proposal.

We saw the same pattern with the release of Labor’s negative gearing policy before the 2016 election. Or, on the other side of the political fence, with analysis of the Coalition government’s superannuation reforms or changes to age pension eligibility.

But you don’t have to wonder how you – or any random case study – compare with the rest of Australia in the wealth stakes. We can look at the data.

Let’s start with income, then look at assets.

First, a note about averages. You were probably taught about the mean, median and mode in early high school. The most common is the “mean” –the sum of all the items divided by the number of items. It’s not always useful because it’s easily distorted by outliers. If Andrew earns $50,000, Bob $70,000, Jenny $100,000 and Laura $1 million, the average/mean income of the group is $305,000. But not a single person in our example earns anything like that.

If you’re trying to describe what’s typical, it’s better to take the median. In this example with an even number of people, it’s $85,000, being the mean of the two middle numbers. The median doesn’t ignore Laura, but it’s much more representative of the group as a whole.

So how do you rank?

Well, the median gross household income was $1616 a week for 2015-2016, the most recent figures available from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. That equates to $84,032 a year.

But of course, households come in different shapes and sizes, so the ABS calculates the “equivalised disposable income” – the household income after tax, but adjusted for the size of the household. The median is $853 a week, or $44,356 a year.

Economist Matt Cowgill has used this data for a great interactive visualisation on his website, showing the distribution of Australians from no income to high income. A calculator lets you plug in your annual household income after tax and the number of adults and children in your house to find out where you sit and how many Australians are better or worse off than you. (The site crashed due to high traffic; if this happens to you, try the cached version).

Middle income could broadly be defined as the middle 40 per cent – the 20 per cent above and below the median. For a couple with no children, middle income is anywhere between $50,000 and $90,000 a year after tax.

Politicians fudge the figures when they refer to “low income earners” when they really mean people with a low taxable income. It’s quite different.

For example, income from superannuation in pension mode is tax-free. Since July 2017 you can have up to $1.6 million a person in pension mode, with anything more taxed at the still-concessional rate of 15 per cent. That still means a couple can have $3.2 million in super and, assuming a conservative return of 5 per cent a year, they’d have $160,000 a year tax-free to live on. A low taxable income? Sure. But they’re still better off than 90 per cent of Australians.

Of course, income only tells part of the story. If we’re measuring wealth, we need to take assets into account. Some assets earn an income – such as savings in a superannuation account, a share portfolio, or a rental property.

Other assets have the potential to earn an income. For example, if someone has a beach house for friends and family, they could make the house available for holiday lettings. If that person is facing the potential loss of imputation refunds under Labor’s dividend tax proposal, then problem solved – they can use the franking credits to offset the taxable income from the holiday tenants.

Assets can also reduce your living expenses – if you own a house or car outright, for example. A couple on $80,000 who owns their home outright is better off than a couple on $100,000 paying $25,000-$35,000 a year in rent or mortgage payments.

The cost of housing is the main expense for most households, according to the ABS. It’s not easy to figure out the distribution of income factoring in housing costs, but the median household net worth (the value of assets minus liabilities) is $527,000. And almost three out of four households have debt, while more than one in four have debt three or more times income.

It’s natural for someone to become wealthier over a lifetime, assuming they progress through a career and spend and invest wisely. We shouldn’t begrudge that success – but we should expect them to shoulder their share of the tax burden.

Federovitch: Seferian-Jenkins could end Bucs' tight end drought

Buccaneers Rookie Camp Football

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are hoping second-round draft pick Austin Seferian-Jenkins ends the franchise's drought of Pro Bowl tight ends.

(Chris O'Meara/Associated Press)

OK, trivia buffs, here’s one that’s somewhat hard to believe.

Name the last time the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a Pro Bowl tight end.

If your guess is Dave Moore in 2006, you would be close but incorrect. Moore did make the Pro Bowl for the NFC that year and did play most of his career at tight end. But Moore wasn’t exactly an explosive offensive weapon and represented the NFC that year as a long snapper.

No, the last Buc to reach the Pro Bowl at tight end was Jimmie Giles in 1985, 29 years ago, which should help you understand why head coach Lovie Smith and his staff were excited to nab Washington’s Austin Seferian-Jenkins high in the second round in the 2014 NFL Draft. The 6-foot-5 former basketball player, who scored 21 touchdowns for the Huskies, represents Tampa Bay’s best chance in a long time to end their remarkable drought at tight end, but if mini-camp reports are any indication, it wasn’t the Bucs’ only major upgrade in the skill positions last week.

By now, you may have already seen on YouTube first-round pick Mike Evans’ spectacular one-handed grab at wideout in a scrimmage that almost defies the laws of gravity and physics. Evans is the same height as Seferian-Jenkins, but he offers a 40-inch vertical leap, has the full route tree and excellent hands.

For a team that hasn’t exactly been blessed at wideout either (their all-time leading wide receiver is Mark Carrier), that’s more great news.

The Bucs still have some questions to address at quarterback over the next year or two (specifically is Mike Glennon their long-term answer or will they need to draft another to follow Josh McCown). But with Greg Hardy’s off-the-field problems and Carolina’s offensive holes, plus Atlanta losing Tony Gonzalez to retirement and a shaky defense, it’s very easy to see Tampa Bay right in the thick of the battle for second place behind the Saints in the NFC South.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers first-round draft pick wide receiver Mike Evans has impressed so far.

• When it comes to droughts overall, the Oakland Raiders are near the top of the list having registered 11 consecutive losing seasons since falling to the Bucs in Super Bowl XXXVII, including nine years of double-digit losses. But all that could change in the semi-near future.

While the Denver Broncos and Peyton Manning are the clear favorites in 2014, Oakland is quietly building a nice pass rush, including former Giant Justin Tuck, LaMarr Woodley and first-round pick Khalil Mack.

The Raiders rolled the dice a bit on second-round pick Derek Carr at quarterback. But is Carr really that much more of a gamble than any of the first-round quarterbacks (Blake Bortles, Johnny Manziel and Teddy Bridgewater)?

Most impressive is the fact that Oakland, the team that has failed so often in the NFL Draft by reaching for unusual players, made common-sense moves this go round, like third-round pick Gabe Jackson (who could help solidify their line at guard). The Raiders still could use a few more skill players, and few pundits will pick them to finish anything but last this year. But for a team that has gone 8-24 over the last two years, there may finally be a light at the end of the tunnel.

• The ultimate drought belongs to Cleveland, which hasn’t won an NFL championship in 50 years and has probably only had two excellent quarterbacks since the Frank Ryan Era (Brian Sipe and Bernie Kosar).

Sipe peaked late, had the misfortune of playing in the AFC Central at a time when the Steelers were dominant and didn't have much of a defense to back him up. Kosar had the bad luck to run up against John Elway just as he was coming into his own.
So can Johnny Manziel end the Browns' drought?

Quarterback Johnny Manziel (2) has an uphill battle in trying to turn things around with the Cleveland Browns.

He’s off to a shaky start. Losing star wideout Josh Gordon to a long-term suspension won’t help, and the same problem that has plagued every other Browns quarterback in recent memory is still present (they’re in the same division as the well-coached Steelers and Ravens). More than that, if you examine Skip Bayless’ sensitive piece on alcohol abuse on espn.com this week, one has to wonder if Manziel will be able to keep off-the-field issues from interfering with his talent on the field.

Does Manziel has the patience to wait until he earns the starting spot? How will he handle adversity if the team plays poorly when he gets a chance? And what about his durability?

The Browns have put some good pieces around him, particularly in the defensive secondary (Joe Haden and Justin Gilbert could be a super tandem at cornerback). But the Browns have won only 27 games over the last six seasons combined for a variety of reasons, and history, not to mention the odds, are very much stacked against Manziel.

Yankees place 3B Alex Rodriguez on the DL with strained left calf muscle

97600734JS029_New_York_Yank.JPGYankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez has been put on the disabled list after re-aggravating his left calf strain Friday night.

NEW YORK — Friday night Alex Rodriguez insisted he was ready to be back in the lineup, that while his strained left calf wouldn’t let him get back to third base just yet, he could certainly be productive.

His first step forward that night turned out to be another step back.

After Rodriguez missed today's game, a 9-5 victory over the Mariners, Yankees manager Joe Girardi announced that Rodriguez would be going on the 15-day disabled list with the calf strain.

“We’re going to play it safe,” Girardi said. “We don’t feel that he’s any worse than he was before, but we’re just going to play it extremely safe and know that we’ll have a player in 15 days.”

To replace Rodriguez on the roster, the Yankees will call up right-hander Ivan Nova from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Nova will start Monday’s series-opener in Toronto and the rest of the starting rotation will be pushed back.

With Rodriguez now out of the lineup until September, the Yankees will have to plug holes in his absence. Eduardo Nunez and Ramiro Pena will likely split time at third base until Rodriguez is able to return. Despite recent gutsy performances by both players, the Yankees know what they’ll be missing for the rest of this month.

“We’ll have to continue to play well and pick each other up,” first baseman Mark Teixeira said. “That’s what we’ve been doing all season. It’s not the first injury that we’ve had all year. We’re obviously going to miss him, you can’t help but miss a guy like Alex. But we’re going to do our best.”

After Friday’s game and before today’s victory, Girardi didn’t think the DL would be a serious possibility for Rodriguez. However, once it flared up on him during the first live swing he took, it became apparent that pushing it may end up hurting Rodriguez even more.

Especially after he sat for four days after he initially suffered the injury Monday against the Tigers.

“It was a discussion with (GM Brian Cashman),” Girardi said of the decision-making process to shelve Rodriguez. “Alex wasn’t here yet and it was a discussion that Cash and I had and he had talked to the doctors and the trainers. We just all felt that, it was in the best interest to put him on the DL.”

While Rodriguez was not in the clubhouse after today’s game, his frustration Friday night after reaggravating the injury was evident.

“I want to be out there,” he said. “Like I was talking about earlier this week, I thought I was beginning to get into a groove and help this team get to the next level and this is obviously very frustrating.”

When Mariners DH Russell Branyan crushed Javier Vazquez's fastball into the upper deck in right field in the first inning today, even the Yankees captain couldn't help but admire the moon shot.

And why not? Branyan’s bomb was the first ball to reach that part of the new Stadium.

"I was out there and it was hit pretty good," Derek Jeter said. "That's the first one that's been up there? Wow."

With his home run that landed between the second and third rows in the corner of the fourth deck, Branyan now owns two of the longest home runs hit in the new ballpark. Last year, Branyan became the first player to hit a home run off of the Mohegan Sun Sports Bar in center field.

Reliever Chad Gaudin was instrumental in keeping the game within striking distance, coming in to mop up after Vazquez in the third inning. He went three innings himself, allowing just one hit and striking out three.

But he was quick to deflect credit to the rest of his bullpen mates.

“I think as a whole we’re doing well,” he said. “We’re all accepting the responsibility of where our spots are. I think that’s why we’re being successful.”

The Mariners' Casey Kotchman had his 274-game errorless streak come to an end in the eighth inning, the longest streak by a first baseman in major- league history.

Kotchman couldn't handle a ground ball on the glove side off the bat of Curtis Granderson, his first error since June 20, 2008, when he was a member of the Atlanta Braves.

“That was a tough one,” Kotchman said. “In between hops, hit hard.”

Research Fellowships

The Swayn Senior Fellow in Australian Design is a collaboration between the National Museum of Australia, the Alastair Swayn Foundation and The Swayn Gallery of Australian Design. The Fellowship program has a vision to increase public awareness and connection to design through collections, collaborations, exhibitions, events and research, and will establish the Swayn Centre for Australian Design in 2022.

ARC collaborative research projects

Museum researchers are participating in collaborative research and development projects including these Australian Research Council projects:

‘Return, reconcile, renew: Understanding the history, effects and opportunities of repatriation and building an evidence base for the future’, 2013–16; renewed as a LIEF grant until 2018–19

Australian National University, University of Melbourne, University of Tasmania, Flinders University, AIATSIS, Department of Communications and the Arts, Kimberley Aboriginal Law and Culture Centre, Ngarrindjeri Regional Authority, University of Otago, Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Gur A Baradharaw Kod Torres Strait Sea and Land Council, Association on American Indian Affairs (former partner) and National Museum of Australia

This project analyses the historical context of repatriation over the past 40 years, revealing and exploring rich Indigenous histories, the effects of repatriation, and increased understanding of the current and future role of repatriation in community development.

The project’s data archive continues to be used to forge new ground in the Indigenous development of protocols for the digital archiving of, and online access to, information of high cultural sensitivity, through the subsequent ‘Restoring dignity’ project.

‘The relational museum and its objects’, 2015–19

Australian National University, British Museum, Museum of the Riverina and National Museum of Australia

This project aims to develop and trial approaches that facilitate community access to, and engagements with, Indigenous collections and objects that have been historically dispersed across museums in Australia and the United Kingdom (UK).

It is being conducted in collaboration with Indigenous communities and regional museums in both countries and seeks to develop and test a new theory around the ‘relational museum’ and contemporary museum practice in Australia. A focus during the past year has been on local museum collections held in the Riverina.

The project has also enabled comprehensive research of Indigenous material held in museums — large and small — in the UK.

‘A new theory of Aboriginal art’, 2015–18

University of Wollongong and National Museum of Australia

This project aims to re-evaluate Aboriginal art practices from the contemporary art perspective of relational art and transculturalism. It looks to revive an industry that, while well established, is not yet taking full advantage of the global art world economy.

Oral history interviews recorded with remote and urban Aboriginal communities for the project will be archived as a research collection, and contribute to a radio documentary/podcast for Earshot on ABC Radio National.

‘DomeLab: An ultra-high resolution experimental fulldome’, 2015–20

University of New South Wales, University of Western Sydney, RMIT University, University of Canberra, University of Western Australia, University of Tasmania, City University of Hong Kong, Museums Victoria, Australian National Maritime Museum, Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, AARNet Pty Ltd,  Intersect Australia Ltd and National Museum of Australia

The DomeLab project pilots the first ultra-high resolution experimental fulldome in Australia and is the technology that underpinned the Dome experience in the Museum’s Songlines: Tracking the Seven Sisters exhibition.

The facility provides a powerful immersive video projection environment, resulting in a low-cost display system with innovative aesthetics and content delivery. The project explores three themes at the forefront of new museology: interactive media, future museology, and experimental and digital humanities.

‘Understanding Australia in the age of humans: Localising the Anthropocene’, 2016–18, extended to 2019

University of Sydney, Australian National University, University of New South Wales, American Museum of Natural History, University of Leicester and University of Wisconsin

This project aims to narrate how human interventions have come to transform Australian environments, and show the history and impact of humans on continental and ocean environments.

By examining the role museums can play in making sense of Australia’s experiences during a period of rapid planetary change, this project moves away from an abstract understanding of these issues, to use objects, performances, stories and art to make real the local dimensions of the idea of the Anthropocene.

As part of the project, Museum staff have contributed to the Everyday Futures website and publication, and supported public programming and events.

Visit the Everyday Futures webpage

‘The Aboriginal History Archive’, 2017–19

Victoria University, Deakin University, University of Newcastle, University of Technology Sydney, University of Melbourne, Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi, University of Exeter, University of Waikato, Old Parliament House and National Museum of Australia

The focus of this project is the creation of an online archive dedicated to recording the histories of self-determination, land rights, and community survival programs of Aboriginal communities in Australia.

The project seeks to record the contemporary perspectives and voices of Aboriginal participants, including primary source material donated by individuals and community organisations.

The archive is working to address a gap in Australia’s understanding of the political, legal, health and social position of Aboriginal communities in Australia.

‘Restoring dignity: Networked knowledge for repatriation communities’, 2017–19

Australian National University, Humboldt University, Department of Communications and the Arts, Gur A Baradharaw Kod Torres Strait Sea and Land Council, Kimberley Aboriginal Law and Culture Centre, Ngarrindjeri Regional Authority, University of Amsterdam, University of Otago, Flinders University of South Australia, Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS), Association on American Indian Affairs (former partner) and National Museum of Australia

Bringing together shared research, resources and networks, this project aims to create a digital facility to preserve and make accessible a critical and extensive record of repatriation information worldwide within an Indigenous data-governance framework.

The archive, spanning the past 40 years of research and repatriation activities, is expected to support repatriation practice and improve the opportunities of repatriation for social good.

Museum staff have supported the project with archival and institutional research related to the Museum’s role in repatriation histories, and participated in a repatriation workshop delivered by the Australian National University in Broome and Fitzroy Crossing in September 2018.

‘Heritage of the air: How aviation transformed Australia’, 2017–20

University of Canberra, University of Sydney, Australian National University, University of New South Wales, Airservices Australia, Civil Aviation Historical Society, SFO Museum and National Museum of Australia

Civil aviation has transformed Australian society over the past 100 years, and the focus of this project is on investigating the people, rather than the planes, to tell the broader story of Australian communities and aviation, including Indigenous people and communities.

The project seeks to build a partnership between the aviation industry, community groups, museums and multidisciplinary scholars to develop insights into aviation heritage.

Stories will be told through heritage archives and institutional collections to produce exhibitions, accessible digital collections and publications, as a way of conserving this part of Australia’s social and cultural history.

'Conviction Politics: Investigating the convict routes of Australian democracy', 2019–23

Monash University, University of Tasmania, Australian Catholic University, Griffith University, University of South Wales Prifysgol De Cmru, University College London and National Museum of Australia

Visit the Conviction Politics website

'Profit and loss: The commercial trade in Indigenous human remains', 2020–22

National Museum of Australia

This project is investigating the global commercial trade in Indigenous human remains. It employs a multi-disciplinary approach involving history, economic anthropology, economic history, and data science.

The project is generating new knowledge about the 19th-century global marketplace in Australian Indigenous human remains, and will reveal whether and how these are involved in the trade’s modern manifestations from 1950 to the present.

The project is uncovering an unknown history, assisting repatriation practice, providing information to help reduce the modern trade, and contributing to truth-telling as a precondition of healing and reconciliation.

Other research projects

Participant in successful funding grant from AIATSIS, ‘Repatriation, healing and wellbeing: Understanding success for repatriation policy and practice’.

Housing is a top priority for North Norfolk District Council - Corporate Plan 2019 to 2023. The council’s new Housing Strategy will build on the work done to provide more housing and improve housing conditions in the district. Achievements include.

  • Fourteen homes for use as temporary housing for homeless households and people at risk of rough sleeping. These make the council less dependent on Bed and Breakfast accommodation which is both expensive to provide and unsuitable for long-term occupation.
  • The delivery of the first new Extra Care housing scheme in Fakenham. This provides self-contained flats with on-site support to enable older residents to continue to live independently.
  • Overall delivery of new homes above target over the last 3-years meaning NNDC has met our Housing Delivery Test and a pipeline of new affordable homes in the district – 108 in 2020/21 and 183 projected for 2021/22.

The council’s new Housing Strategy has been developed with extensive involvement from stakeholders - people and organisations with knowledge of housing in the district. Its four themes focus on the major challenges facing housing in the district:

  1. Increasing the supply of homes with enough homes to meet the needs of local residents.
  2. Improving housing conditions in the private sector – thereby reducing fuel poverty and helping to reduce carbon emissions.
  3. Making the best use of existing homes includes ensuring affordable homes are allocated fairly and encouraging landlords to let homes for market rent.
  4. Supporting vulnerable residents to live in their homes or move to a home more suited to their needs.

Cllr. Wendy Fredericks, Cabinet member for Housing and Benefits, said ‘ This is an ambitious strategy to help deliver the council’s priorities for housing in North Norfolk. We know we have the support of stakeholders including; local property developers, parish and town councils, local landlords, housing associations and community groups, and I look forward to working with these stakeholders to deliver our new Housing Strategy.’

Opthamologist or Optometrist?

There are so many types of physicians and specialists in the world that it can be hard to know exactly who will be the most helpful for you. And there may be a specialist out there that you didn’t even know existed!

If you’re just exploring physicians for your eyes, for example, you may get hung up on what the difference is between ophthalmologists and optometrists. Which one do you need? Though they both work with the eyes, they are different in some ways. Keep reading to learn more about the differences between ophthalmologists and optometrists so you can make a better decision about who you want to see.

An optometrist is an eye doctor who examines eyes for vision and health problems. They are able to prescribe eyeglasses and contact lenses to correct vision issues. Some optometrists may also provide low vision care and vision therapy, though not all will do this.

Optometrists are also licensed to prescribe medications to treat certain eye problems and diseases. Depending on the state you’re located in, they may be allowed to do more. For instance, though many are not trained to perform eye surgery, some may be able to do so. They may also help support your pre- and post-operative care if you are having surgery on your eyes.

Similar to optometrists, opthamologists also examine eyes and are able to prescribe glasses and contact lenses for you. Where they differ is in areas of surgery. Ophthalmologists are trained to perform eye exams, diagnose and treat eye disease, prescribe medications and also perform eye surgery.

Hold on, there’s another type of eye specialist that we have to mention. Though opticians are not eye doctors, they do help with your vision. They take the prescriptions from your optometrist or ophthalmologist to correctly fit and provide you with your glasses. They may own their own store, or they may partner with your optometrist.

Who should I see?

Generally, it’s up to you who to see for your eyes. If you are interested in specialized medical treatment, or surgery, then you will want to find a physician who is trained and qualified to give you the best advice regarding those procedures.

If you’re interested in learning more about eyes, give us a call at 781-245-5200 to schedule a consultation.
