MUGABE’S PARTY CALLS FOR HIS RESIGNATION

Z

imbabwe’s ruling ZANUPF party has called on President Robert Mugabe to resign, the main state newspaper The Herald reported, the latest sign that the aging leader’s authority has collapsed after an army takeover.

The newspaper said that ZANUPF branches in all 10 provinces had met on Friday and had also called for Mugabe’s wife Grace, whose ambitions to succeed her husband triggered the unfolding political crisis, to resign from the party. ...cont. on page 10 >>

teve Smith has done an awful lot for Australia with the bat since becoming captain, now he must also contribute with the ball in the biggest series of his career.

Smith started his Test journey as a legspinning allrounder in 2010, when blonde hair and chubby cheeks were enough for him to earn the ubiquitous ‘next Shane Warne’ tag.

Smith’s second coming in 2013 was as a Test batsman. He has gone from strength to strength since focusing on his greatest talent, scoring 20 Test tons en route to becoming the best batsman in the world.

The 28-year-old has recently been reluctant to roll his arm over. He’s bowled just 25.1 overs in Tests since succeeding Michael Clarke as skipper in 2015.

Dirty cash

SEIZED

from Vic criminals V

ictoria’s state coffers have been handed $18 million in dirty cash seized from the state’s criminals, including five houses owned by the family of a convicted drug trafficker.

Specialist proceeds of crime solicitors worked closely with police and other government agencies to confiscate the $18 million in tainted assets such as

BABIES

cash, digital currency, property, shares and motor vehicles, the public prosecutors’ 2016-17 annual report says.

Assets nabbed included proceeds of crime from 15 people charged with commercial quantity drug offences, and five houses worth a combined $3 million from the family of a convicted drug trafficker.

OBIKES SPARK FIGHT ON MELBOURNE TRAIN

VIRUS SPIKE A

T

here has been a “large” spike in the number of cases of a virus which can lead to severe neurological illness in babies and young children, Victorian health authorities say.

The detection of the Human parechovirus (HPeV), which can also cause sepsis-like illnesses, has spiked in Victoria since July, mostly in babies and young children, the state’s Chief Health Officer Dr Brett Sutton said on Thursday.

The virus is usually spread by respiratory droplets, saliva or faeces, and most commonly leads to mild respiratory and gastrointestinal issues, he added.

search is underway for the men involved in a “disgraceful” brawl that erupted inside a Melbourne train carriage over the controversial bicycle share scheme oBike.

Footage uploaded to Instagram on Saturday shows a middleaged, bald man verbally abusing users of the dockless bike share scheme, telling them to get off the train due to safety risks posed by the bikes.

One of the oBike riders exchanges words with the man before flinging his oBike to the ground and approaching the man, who then threw multiple punches which appeared to connect with the rider’s head.

Passengers then stepped in to break up the scuffle.

“Disrespectful f****** people,” the video, which has so far gained 8500 views, shows the bald man yelling afterwards.

Woman bashed at Victorian B&S ball

A

woman had her head stomped on while two men were seriously injured when a brawl broke out at a bachelors and spinsters ball in rural Victoria.

The two men, aged 22 and 24, were hospitalised with serious injuries and a number of others were hurt in the fight which broke on Saturday night at Tooradin, Victoria Police said on Monday.

Ambulance Victoria says paramedics assessed five people at the event, with four being sent to various hospitals

across Victoria.

One woman, aged in her 20s, was taken to the Alfred Hospital with suspected spinal injuries.

In a Facebook post on Sunday, Haylee Joyce says her friend was “stomped on” and punched by a man at the event.

“My best friend is currently stuck in the Alfred hospital with neck and possible spinal damage after only wanting to have a good time with her friends at Gippy BnS,” the post reads.

Vic police work to return stolen jewellery

A

bout 400 pieces of unclaimed jewellery believed to be stolen during home burglaries in Victoria - are up for public inspection as police try to return the haul to its rightful owners.

The jewellery was seized during a raid on a Collins Street store in October and is believed to have been stolen during home burglaries in the weeks leading up to October 5.

Police have been able to find owners of some of the jewellery, but say there is still a large number of “distinctive pieces” unclaimed and have uploaded close up photographs of these items on the Victoria Police Facebook page.

“It is not very often that we find

such high quantities of stolen jewellery in its original form,” Detective Sergeant Ashley Penry said on Monday.

“Usually it’s been melted down or sold ... so this is a unique position for us.

“There are a number of very distinctive pieces amongst the seized items and we are confident that people will recognise these.”

Police posted about 400 images of the stolen items on the Facebook page on Monday morning, calling on anyone who believes the jewellery may be theirs to come forward.

“We know that jewellery often holds a lot of sentimental value, which is why we are so eager to return it to the rightful owners,” Det Sgt Penry said.

PM REVEALS HIS iTUNES ACCOUNT HACKED ONCE

alcolm Turnbull believes there’s a lesson for everyone from the hacking of one his cabinet minister’s Twitter account: change your password regularly.

And the prime minister revealed his iTunes account was once hacked to purchase a host of Cantonese pop songs.

Defence Industry Minister Christopher Pyne has claimed his Twitter account was hacked after social media users noticed his account “liked” a gay porn site.

Labor has dropped its call for a serious investigation of the incident, saying it was satisfied there was no connection between Mr Pyne’s account and his ministerial portfolio.

“I feel for Christopher Pyne.

It’s embarrassing for him and his family,” Opposition Leader Bill Shorten told reporters in Adelaide.

Mr Turnbull said he was always concerned when anyone’s social media account was hacked.

JAPAN TO HELP MANILA TO STOP PIRATES

In this photo taken Sept. 23, 2012, masked Somali pirate Hassan stands near a Taiwanese fishing vessel that washed up on shore after the pirates were paid a ransom and released the crew, in the once-bustling pirate den of Hobyo, Somalia.

J

apan will build four coast guard radar stations on islands in the Sulu Celebes Seas separating the Philippines and Indonesia to help Manila counter a surge in piracy by Islamic insurgents, two sources say.

An agreement to fund the facilities and provide training to local coast guard personnel may be signed by Japanese Prime Minister and Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte in Manila, the sources said.

“The seas in that area are an important waterway for merchant ships travelling to Japanese ports,” one of the people with knowledge of the plan said.

Of 30 acts of piracy reported in the first half of 2017 six involved the use of guns, of which three were crew abductions from ships underway in the Sulu Celebes Seas, according to the Regional Co-operation Agreement on Combating Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in Asia (ReCAAP). Four attempted abductions in the waters were also logged.

“Japan is aware of the need to counter piracy in the region and is keen to help, but we can’t discuss individual projects,” said an official at Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which overseas ODA spending.

The radar stations are part

of a wider aid package that include helicopter parts for the Philippines military, financing for infrastructure projects such as rail lines and help to rebuild conflict-torn southern Marawi city after five months of military operations against Islamic State rebels.

Tokyo is aiming to deepen economic and security ties with Manila as it looks to contain China’s growing power. Japan sees the Philippines, which lies on the eastern side of the South China Sea, as a key ally in helping prevent Beijing’s influence spreading into the western Pacific.

KIDS’ LIFE QUALITY IN DRASTIC DECLINE: UN

S

ome 180 million children in 37 countries are more likely to live in extreme poverty, be out of school or suffer a violent death than 20 years ago, according to a UNICEF report.

Unrest, conflict and poor governance are among the main causes of the decline in quality of life for one in 12 of the world’s 2.2 billion children, the report showed.

The steepest declines were seen in South Sudan, which is in the midst of a bloody civil war and where children fared worse than the previous generation in all three categories.

“While the last generation has seen vast, unprecedented gains in living standards for most of the world’s children, the fact that a forgotten minority of children have been excluded from this - through no fault of their own or those of their families - is a travesty,” said Laurence Chandy, UNICEF director of data, research and policy.

More than 14 countries including Cameroon, Zambia and Zimbabwe - have seen an increase in the share of people living on less than $US1.90 a day.

And a decline in primary school enrolment was observed in 21 countries, including Syria and Tanzania.

Violent deaths among children below the age of 19 have increased in seven countries: Central African Republic, Iraq, Libya, South Sudan, Syria, Ukraine and Yemen - all countries experiencing major conflicts.

The report was released to coincide with World Children’s Day, which marks the anniversary of the UN adopting the Convention of the Rights of the Child in 1989.

Plan to halve Australia’s $20b

FOOD WASTE A

ustralia wastes $20 billion worth of food each year but plans have been revealed to reduce the scraps by half.

Federal environment minister Josh Frydenberg has announced $1.37 million for Food Innovation Australia, an agency focused on reducing food waste by getting industry and business to commit to the target by 2030.

“Twenty per cent of everything we consume, we waste,” Mr Frydenberg told reporters at a National Food Waste Summit in Melbourne on Monday.

“This costs the Australian economy about $20 billion a year and about four million tonnes of food ends up in landfill.”

That waste produces more than 700 million tonnes of CO2 emissions, the minister added.

“If food waste was a country, when it comes to producing carbon dioxide emissions, it would be the third-biggest in the world behind China and the United States,” he said

The government will develop a food waste baseline to keep the plan on track, Mr Frydenberg said.

Food Innovation Australia will finalise by late 2018 its plan to halve waste, with the voluntary commitment program for businesses and industry to begin in early 2019.

A

man accused of shooting two young revellers during a birthday celebration in Melbourne has briefly appeared in court.

Two Berwick men, aged 19 and 21, suffered non-life-threatening injuries when they were shot in the car park of the Hampton Park Tavern during a brawl early on Sunday.

Vince Tominiko, 25, was arrested later the same day and police charged him with firearmrelated offences.

He appeared briefly in the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Monday and did not apply for bail.

Tominiko was remanded in custody to reappear before the court on February 12 for a committal case conference.

NICKI MINAJ’S BROTHER CONVICTED OF RAPE

T

he brother of rapper Nicki Minaj has been convicted of predatory sexual assault after being charged with repeatedly raping an 11-year-old girl at his Long Island home.

Jurors delivered their verdict on Thursday in Jelani Maraj’s trial. The charges carry the potential for 25 years to life in prison. Maraj is 38.

His lawyer says he will appeal.

The girl is now 14. She testified she was

repeatedly assaulted over eight months in 2015 at Maraj’s home in Baldwin.

Prosecutors say DNA evidence supports the allegations. The girl’s younger brother testified that he witnessed one assault.

Maraj’s lawyers said the rape allegations were concocted by the girl’s mother as part of a scheme to get Nicki Minaj to pay $US25 million ($A35 million) in hush money.

WEDDING BELLS FOR ABBOTT’S DAUGHTER

“Hey Feyonce, Two weeks was all it took to know that forever with you was a mighty fine idea,” she said with series of photobooth pictures with Loch, followed by a series of enthusiastic hashtags.

Abbott is a fitness blogger and recently competed in a body-building competition, while Loch, 34, is a weightlifter who competed in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics.

BABY MAMMOTH MAKES A MOVE DOWN UNDER

S

he may be 42,000 years old, but age hasn’t been a barrier for Lyuba the baby woolly mammoth making her first trip to Australia.

Regarded as the most complete and best-preserved mammoth ever unearthed anywhere in the world, Lyuba has arrived in Sydney as the star of a new Ice Age exhibition at the Australian Museum.

Ever since Lyuba was found in 2007, by a reindeer hunter and his three sons in Siberia,

the baby mammoth has been a source of intrigue for paleontologists.

“She’s a truly remarkable specimen,” the Australian Museum’s paleontologist Dr Matthew McCurry told AAP. “I’ve never seen something extinct that is that well preserved.

“Lyuba is almost complete.

She’s only missing her tail and ear and some sections of her fur, so she’s exceptionally preserved.”

An army soldier stands guard as protesters demanding President Robert Mugabe stand down, gather on the road leading to State House in Harare, Zimbabwe Saturday, Nov. 18, 2017. In a euphoric gathering that just days ago would have drawn a police crackdown, crowds marched through Zimbabwe’s capital on Saturday to demand the departure of President Robert Mugabe, one of Africa’s last remaining liberation leaders, after nearly four decades in power.

<< cont. from cover...

MUGABE’S PARTY CALLS FOR HIS RESIGNATION

Mugabe appeared in public on Friday for the first time since the army took charge, as the ruling party made plans to force him to step down after almost four decades in power.

The president, who is 93, opened a graduation ceremony at Zimbabwe Open University in Harare. He wore blue and yellow academic robes and a mortar board hat and appeared to fall asleep in his chair as his eyes closed and his head lolled.

Mugabe led the country’s liberation struggle and has dominated its politics since independence in 1980.

A senior member of the ZANUPF ruling party said it wanted him gone.

“If he becomes stubborn, we will arrange for him to be fired on Sunday,” the source said. “When that is done, it’s impeachment on Tuesday.”

The Herald reported that ZANU-PF would convene a special Central Committee meeting on Sunday to “realign the revolutionary party with current political developments.”

The military, which seized power on Wednesday, has so far treated Mugabe carefully. It said in a statement on national television it was “engaging” with Mugabe, referred to him as Commander in Chief and said it would announce an outcome as

soon as possible.

ZANU-PF has also called for a mass meeting in the capital on Saturday to show its support for the War Veterans group in their bid to remove Mugabe.

The veterans, Mugabe’s former comrades from the liberation war, who enjoyed a privileged position under his rule for decades, had chafed in recent years as his wife Grace positioned herself to succeed him. They finally turned on him decisively after he sacked Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa last week.

The Herald newspaper on Friday said that ZANU-PF wanted Mnangagwa reinstated as vice president because he was dismissed “without endorsement of the central committee”.

Many Zimbabweans suspect the military’s plan is to hand power to Mnangagwa, a long-serving Mugabe confidant and liberation war veteran nicknamed “the Crocodile”. If so, the generals may be waiting until Mnangagwa can be reinstated as vice president before arranging for Mugabe to resign.

Mugabe is revered as an elder statesman and independence leader but he is also viewed by many in Africa as a president who crippled his country by remaining in power too long. He calls himself the grand old man of African politics.

eenagers as young as 14 could be locked up for 36 hours without charge if they’re terrorism suspects, under proposed Victorian government laws.

Alcohol while breastfeeding is OK: study A n occasional alcoholic drink while breastfeeding in the first eight weeks after giving birth appears to cause no harm to the baby, says an Australian researcher.

A study conducted by the National Drug & Alcohol Research Centre (NDARC), UNSW and Deakin University found low levels of alcohol consumption had no impact on breastfeeding duration, infant feeding and sleeping behaviour at eight weeks.

There was also no negative association with infant developmental outcomes at eight weeks or 12 months.

“Whilst this study certainly does not in any way condone excessive alcohol consumption in new mums, it does suggest that those that have the occasional drink whilst using strategies to prevent alcohol reaching the infant, can do so without fear of causing harm,” said lead researcher Delyse Hutchinson.

Dr Hutchinson presented the findings at the APSAD Scientific Alcohol and other Drugs Conference in Melbourne.

There is limited research regarding the effects of alcohol consumption by breastfeeding mothers on infants, and to rectify this researchers examined the frequency and outcomes of alcohol use during lactation.

Researchers looked at data from the Triple B Pregnancy Cohort - a study of alcohol use during pregnancy and development outcomes in infants at 12 months of age.

Substance use was assessed during pregnancy and at eight weeks and 12 months postbirth. Breastfeeding duration, infant feeding, sleeping and development were also assessed.

The findings showed most women had consumed alcohol while breastfeeding. Alcohol use was reported by 60.7 per cent at eight weeks and 69.6 per cent at 12 months.

These women were more likely to be born in Australia or another English-speaking country, be tertiary educated and have higher household incomes.

Most drank at low levels, less than 14 standard drinks per week and less than three on a single

occasion.

“Low level drinking during breastfeeding is not linked with shorter breastfeeding duration or adverse outcomes in infants up to 12 months of age,” the authors concluded in the paper published in journal Drug and Alcohol Review.

In fact, the paper suggests an occasional tipple may have benefits.

“The only significant association showed that infants whose mothers drank at eight weeks postpartum had more favourable results for personalsocial development at 12 months compared with those whose

mothers abstained,” the authors wrote.

The NHMRC guidelines on alcohol consumption for pregnancy and breastfeeding say not drinking is the safest option, and that women should avoid all alcohol in the first month after delivery until breastfeeding is well established.

After that, alcohol intake should be limited to no more than two standard drinks a day and should be avoided immediately before breastfeeding.

Women who wish to drink alcohol are also advised to consider expressing milk in advance.

Trio sentenced over botched SA escape bid

T

he “wheels fell off” a plan by three men to use a truck to break out of the Port Augusta Prison in South Australia’s mid-north, a court has heard.

Trevor John Brooks, Scott Gavin Charters and Benjamin Christopher Glen have all had their jail terms extended after the botched escape bid in September last year.

District Court Judge Stephen McEwen said the trio abandoned their bid for freedom when the truck they planned to use became bogged. Judge McEwen said the attempted escape was unsophisticated. “It did not get very far before the wheels fell off the whole enterprise,” he said in sentencing remarks delivered in Port Augusta and published online.

After abandoning the truck the men climbed on scaffolding where they spent some time before negotiating with the prison manager to come down.

NSW SHARK VICTIM DOES A ‘MICK FANNING’

A

British doctor who was attacked by a shark on the NSW Central Coast while surfing says he owes Mick Fanning a beer after copying the legend surfer’s tactics and punching the animal off.

Charlie Fry, 25, was surfing with three mates at Avoca Beach north of Sydney on Monday afternoon when a shark hit him on the shoulder.

“I said, ‘just do what Mick did, just punch it in the nose’,” Dr Fry told the Nine Network on Tuesday.

“If you are watching or listening, Mick, I owe you a beer, thank you very much.”

Dr Fry said he was up to 40 metres offshore when the shark jumped out of the water and hit him on the right shoulder.

“I got this massive thud on my right-hand side, which completely blindsided me. I thought it was

a friend goofing around. I turned and I saw this shark come out of the water and breach its head. I punched it in the face with my left hand ... and managed to scramble back on my board, shout at my friends. Luckily a wave came, so I just surfed the wave in,” he said.

“I was just surfing, (saying) get in as fast as possible, ride the wave as fast as possible, ride the wave as long as you can and start paddling for your life essentially.

It was very, very hectic. Very, very hectic.”

Dr Fry was taken to Gosford Hospital with scratches and a puncture wound on his shoulder.

Avoca Beach and North Avoca will remain closed for Tuesday.

Australian surfing legend Fanning was attacked by a great white while competing at Jeffreys Bay in South Africa in 2015 and walked away physically unscathed after fighting it off.

abul Afghanistan has produced the largest opium harvest in its history at an estimated 9,000 tonnes, a new report published by the United Nations Office for Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has revealed.

The harvest is an 87 per cent increase compared with last year’s 4800 tonnes in the world’s largest producer of the illegal substance, the report said.

A total of 328,000 hectares of land was being used for opium cultivation, the report said, representing an increase of 63 per cent compared with the previous year.

“Political instability, lack of government control and security, as well as corruption have been found to be main drivers of illicit cultivation related to the rule of law,” the report said.

Pope’s Lamborghini will help drive charity

ome Pope Francis has been offered a Lamborghini Huracan, but the Vatican said there was no future as a popemobile for the Italian supercar.

The Huracan, which has a top speed of more than 300km/h and has a starting price in Italy of 185,000 euros (AU$289,000), will instead be auctioned for charity, a statement said.

Proceeds will go to a Catholic

charity seeking to return Christian exiles to Iraq, to another one helping victims of the sex trade in Italy and to two Italian charities that operate in Africa.

Francis was given a specially prepared Huracan model, and the unusual gift was presented to the pope at the Vatican by the top management of Lamborghini, which is part of Germany’s Volkswagen Group.

ugh Jackman is coming home with Hollywood star Zac Efron in tow for the Australian premiere of upcoming movie, The Greatest Showman.

The actors will be joined by the movie’s other stars, Disney actress and singer Zendaya, Broadway star Keala Settle and the film’s Australian director Michael Gracey, to walk the red carpet in Sydney at the end of December.

The musical film is based on the real-life story of showman PT Barnum, played by Jackman, who in 1919 established the famous Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, which became known as The Greatest Show on Earth.

The circus closed in May of this year after 146 years in operation.

The film features original music written by La La Land’s Oscarwinning composers Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, and also stars Oscar-nominee Michelle Williams as Barnum’s wife, Charity.

The stars will walk the red carpet in Sydney on December 20.

F

ifteen people have been killed and five were injured when a stampede broke out in a southwestern Moroccan town as food aid was being distributed in a market.

A hospital source put the death toll at 18, adding that most victims were women who had been scrambling for food handed out by a rich man in the small coastal town of Sidi Boulaalam.

A local journalist said the donor had organised similar handouts before, but this year some 1,000 people arrived, storming an iron barrier under which several women were crushed.

A drought has greatly hurt agricultural output in Morocco recently, contributing to the high cost of basic food items.

King Mohammed ordered that the victims’ families be given any assistance they needed and the wounded treated at his cost, the ministry said in a statement, adding that a criminal investigation had been opened.

“THE SOONER THESE PRODUCTS ARE LEGALISED IN AUSTRALIA, THE MORE LIVES WILL BE SAVED” or can’t quit, the next best thing would be to switch to vaping,” Queen Mary University professor Hayden McRobbie told AAP. He says it may not save the Australian government’s health budget in the long term - as nonsmokers live longer - but it has the potential to save lives.

E-cigarettes or vapes can still contain nicotine, which is addictive, but they do not burn or emit toxic smoke into the lungs,

the toxic fumes.

“The sooner these products are legalised in Australia, the more lives will be saved,” Prof Mendelsohn told AAP. New Zealand is planning to legalise the sale of nicotinecontaining e-cigarettes in order to regulate them as consumer products from mid-2018.

“While the long-term risks are not entirely clear, there is broad consensus now that they are

much less harmful than tobacco cigarettes,” Prof McRobbie said.

“This (vaping) might offer another option to get to a smokefree life.

“You do want policy measures encouraging people to move away from traditional smoking and you want to protect those that don’t smoke, like young people.”

Both professors have run studies into the benefits of e-cigarettes, confirming they get no money from the tobacco or e-cigarette industries.

The pair are in Melbourne as part of the Australasian Professional Society on Alcohol and other Drugs Conference, where Prof McRobbie gave a keynote speech.

Artificial wave added to World Surf Tour Photo: Australian surfer Adrian Buchan surfing in the Test Event at Kelly Slater’s Surf Ranch in Lemoore, CA, USA.

T

he world’s best surfers are headed inland in 2018, with an artificial wave being added to the World Surf League’s Championship Tour.

The Surf Ranch Facility, developed by legend of the sport Kelly Slater, is said to create consistent and predictable waves at the man-made facility in the middle of California.

The addition of the stop in Lemoore is being hailed as a win for surfers, administrators and fans.

“We’re only scratching the surface of how this technology can be applied and it is completely game-changing for the sport,” Sophie Goldschmidt, WSL CEO, said.

“This technology, and its ability to deliver high-quality

waves at any location in the world, opens so many possibilities for how we can complement and evolve the competitive experience,” Kieren Perrow, WSL Commissioner, added.

A test event was conducted at the facility in September and strong support from surfers helped lead to the addition on the Tour.

“The experience of competing at Surf Ranch is pretty extraordinary,” Australian surfer Adrian Buchan said.

“The ocean will always be our home, but as we grow, having the opportunity to showcase and share the stoke of surfing to new audiences and schedule with pinpoint accuracy the huge match-ups and drama of the WSL is really exciting.”

US WEATHER SATELLITE TO IMPROVE FORECASTS

A

US satellite jam-packed with the latest hightech instruments for measuring weather-related data on earth has been launched atop a NASA rocket that blasted off from a California air base.

The launch took place at 1.47am Saturday local time from Vandenberg Air Force Base after being delayed several times since its initial planned launch more than a week ago.

An hour after its launch, the satellite’s power source was operating properly and would undergo three months of checks on its instruments before becoming fully operational, NASA says.

The satellite will improve the accuracy and timeliness of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

weather prediction models and three- to seven-day forecasts, officials with NOAA and the National Weather Service say.

The prediction models and advanced forecasts are key to issuing warnings ahead of major hurricanes like Harvey, Irma and Maria, which struck the US this year.

NOAA teamed up with NASA for the launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The satellite, part of the Joint Polar Satellite System, will be named NOAA-20 once in orbit about 800 kilometres from earth, officials said at a pre-launch briefing in Washington.

Once operational, it will circle the earth pole to pole about 14 times every day, observing a wide swathe with each pass “so we see every corner of the planet” about twice per day, said Mitch Goldberg, NOAA chief program scientist for the JPSS. Weather forecasters consider polar satellites the “backbone” of the global observing system, which includes stationary satellites that are much farther from Earth.

“Polar satellites are the primary way to obtain the global temperature and moisture measurements that feed our weather forecast models,” Joe

Pica of the National Weather Service said.

The satellite takes US forecasting capabilities “to the next level”, Pica said, giving forecasters around the world better information to help decision-makers save lives and protect property in major weather events.

Officials touted the satellite’s instruments, which have been successfully demonstrated on a predecessor prototype that is still active, the Suomi NPP satellite.

One in particular is called the Visible Infrared Imager - Imaging Radiometer Suite, which in addition to weather forecasting provides environmental assessments, information on sea surface temperatures and ice breaking in the Arctic. It also tracks floods, droughts and fires and monitors volcanic eruptions.

All the data collected by the satellites are free and shared with other weather forecasting operations around the world and climate change researchers.

It also is archived, creating a massive record for researchers who are looking for changes in the climate.

TEENS SPEND 1200HRS A DOMINO’S TO AUTOMATE YEAR ON SOCIAL MEDIA

T

eenagers spend 1200 hours a year on social media, and most parents don’t monitor their online use, an eye-opening new study has revealed.

But they’re not the only ones glued to the flickering light of their screens, with adults spending 950 hours a year on Facebook, YouTube and other social media channels, according to a report from the Australian Psychological Society (APS).

This increasing reliance on social media has been linked to higher rates of cyber bullying and lower self esteem, despite most Australians reporting an overall

Dr O’Grady said.

Adults who were classed as heavy mobile phone users (54 per cent) were more likely to use their phones immediately before bed, despite research showing the negative impact on sleep.

They were also more prone to check social media within minutes of waking, while eating, in the company of others and for no particular purpose.

The constant connection was also linked to bullying, trolling and lower self esteem.

Among the adults surveyed, more Instagram users (21 per cent) than non-users (13 per cent) were classified as having low self

positive experience of life online.

The Digital Me report, released recently, surveyed 1020 adults and 156 teenagers on their use of social media and its connection to their wellbeing. It found 60 per cent of parents never monitor their child’s social media use.

Meanwhile, 15 per cent of teenagers reported being contacted by strangers daily, and nearly 10 per cent said they actively communicated with, or responded to, strangers daily.

APS spokeswoman and community psychologist Dr Lyn O’Grady says parents need to step into the digital lives of their children.

“Social media is an asset for teens... But they are less able to identify risks and more likely to act impulsively compared to adults,” Dr O’Grady said on Saturday.

Parents don’t need to “clamp down hard” lest teenagers find ways to outsmart them, but instead focus on open communication and modelling good behaviour through their own responsible social media use. “[They] need boundaries, rules and the guidance of parents to help them make good decisions - just as they do offline,” Dr O’Grady told AAP. “If they become too controlling they lose that opportunity to influence.”

But it’s not just teens who struggle with social media,

esteem.

One in five adults said they experienced bullying on social media within the past year, making them more likely to report a lower satisfaction than those who hadn’t experienced cyber bullying.

Among teenagers, 29 per cent had been bullied on social media within the past year, while 35 per cent said they had posted content on social media they later regretted.

Overall, both age groups of high mobile phone users said they felt pressure to look good on social media.

PIZZA QUALITY CHECKS

D

omino’s will roll out technology that uses a camera and artificial intelligence to assess whether its pizzas are picture perfect.

As pizzas emerge from the oven, a camera sitting above the cutting board takes a photo and assesses whether they have the correct toppings, an even spread of ingredients, are the right temperature and match what they are supposed to look like.

The results of the assessment

are then sent to the store manager, and a photo of a pizza can be sent to the customer, along with a notification if their pizza has failed the quality test and needs to be remade.

Dubbed Domino’s Pizza Checker, the system is currently being trialled at one store as the first step in a project to automate quality control.

Tech firms trial cyber bullying support S

ocial media giants Facebook and Snapchat will trial a new service providing direct support to victims of cyberbullying, a royal campaign has announced.

The Duke of Cambridge is spearheading a fresh battle against online abuse with the support of a taskforce made up of major tech firms and charities.

He is to announce a code of conduct for the internet, said to be the first of its kind globally, urging young people to “stop, speak, support”.

For the last 18 months, the Royal Foundation’s Taskforce on the Prevention of Cyberbullying has been working on ways to create a safer space for young people online.

Facebook and Snapchat are exploring alterations to their sites which allow victims to access help, which was created with the NSPCC. It will be trialled among groups of young people, Kensington Palace said, with William hoping it can soon be rolled out universally.

The Taskforce’s code of conduct, which is said to be national and youth-led, encourages young people to consider how they behave online.

It asks them to stop and consider what the situation is before joining in negative activity

online, speak to an adult, a charity or report any abuse if they are concerned, and offer support to the individual being targeted.

Organisations including Google, Apple, EE and Twitter have all been involved in the project.

In a video released on Wednesday, William warned that anonymity online can be “really, really dangerous” as it allows cyberbullies to ignore the realworld impact of their actions.

His interest in the problem began shortly after the birth of his own son, Prince George, when he heard the story of a boy took his own life as a result of online abuse.

    CELEBRITY Amazon to make Lord of the Rings TV series

A

mazon.com Inc has bought the global television rights to The Lord of the Rings, in what may be its biggest and most expensive move yet to draw viewers to its streaming and shopping club Prime.

Amazon says it will produce a multi-season series that explores new storylines preceding author J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Fellowship of the Ring, the first instalment in the famed fantasy trilogy.

Three movies made of the trilogy in the early 2000s, filmed in New Zealand and based on Tolkien’s novels, garnered nearly $US3

billion ($A4.2 billion) at the box office and 17 Academy Awards.

New Line Cinema, which distributed the film trilogy, the Tolkien Estate and Trust, and publisher HarperCollins will work with Amazon to produce the television series.

Amazon did not say how much it was paying for the rights.

The project underscores a shift in Amazon’s video programming.

Its studio started in 2010 with a focus on unique shows beloved by critics, such as Transparent, about a father coming out as transgender to his family.

That was a winning formula for attracting Hollywood talent, awards and buzz, though not Prime subscribers around the world.

Now, Amazon is looking for a dramatic show that could be a hit globally, much like HBO’s popular fantasy series Game of Thrones.

This puts Amazon in uncharted

territory, with higher-than-usual production costs expected so it can transport viewers to Middle Earth.

Amazon justifies its spending on programming as a way to draw new sign-ups to Prime, whose members buy more goods more often from the world’s largest online retailer.

He will also write and direct the first in the trilogy, and his

frequent collaborator Ram Bergman will produce.

In a joint statement, Johnson and Bergman said: “We had the time of our lives collaborating with Lucasfilm and Disney on The Last Jedi.

“Star Wars is the greatest modern mythology and we feel very lucky to have contributed to it.

“We can’t wait to continue with this new series of films.”

Blake Shelton named ‘sexiest man alive’ B lake Shelton was on Tuesday named Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine, a first for any country singer.

“I’ve been ugly my whole life,” Shelton, 41, said in a statement on Tuesday. “If I can be sexy for a year, I’m taking it!”

Shelton spent a decade in country music before his popularity surged in 2011 as the wise-cracking judge and mentor to aspiring singers on the US version of The Voice.

His most recent album, called Texoma Shore was released

earlier this month.

Shelton told People he could not wait to tease his fellow Voice judge and Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine with his Sexiest Man title, which Levine won in 2013.

“I’m not going to treat this like Hugh Jackman or one of those guys who’s humble about it. People are going to hate me over this,” Shelton joked.

Shelton was formerly married to country singer Miranda Lambert and has been dating pop singer Gwen Stefani for the

past two years.

Previous title holders include Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Harrison Ford, Ryan Reynolds and David Beckham.

RUMOURS MEGHAN MARKLE LEAVING HIT TV SHOW

M

eghan Markle could be leaving US drama Suits, according to reports.

Sources told the Hollywood Reporter that the legal drama is close to confirming an eighth season, while Markle and co-star Patrick J. Adams “plot their exit”.

Markle and Adams’ characters, Rachel Zane and Mike Ross, are engaged in the popular TV show, with Hello! magazine reporting that the couple’s wedding has already been shot.

Rumours have long circulated about the 36-year-old leaving the show, as she spends more time with boyfriend Prince Harry in London and predictions of a royal wedding on the horizon increase.

Harry has already taken the star to Buckingham Palace to meet his grandmother the Queen, whose permission they need to marry.

Markle, who shot to fame playing paralegal-turned-lawyer Zane in the USA Network drama, has also been involved in philanthropy and charity work, like Harry.

PORTIA DE ROSSI ACCUSES STEVEN SEAGAL

A

ustralian actress Portia de Rossi is the latest star to call out actor Steven Seagal for inappropriate behaviour.

Putting Twitter’s recent character increase to good use, De Rossi describes an audition with the actor during which she alleges he unzipped his trousers.

“My final audition for a Steven Segal movie took place in his office. He told me how important it was to have chemistry offscreen as he sat me down and unzipped his leather pants. I ran out and called my agent.

Unfazed, she replied, “well, I didn’t know if he was your type.”

De Rossi tweeted on Thursday.

The Arrested Development actress isn’t the only woman to put the spotlight on Seagal’s alleged inappropriate behaviour this week.

The Good Wife actress Julianna Margulies also described an incident with Seagal in a hotel room where she was told to meet him for an audition at night when she was just 23.

While a female casting director

set up the night-time meeting, Seagal was alone and allegedly armed when Marguiles showed up.

“I got to the hotel around 10:40pm, and she (the casting director) wasn’t there. And he was alone and he made sure that I saw his gun, which I had never seen a gun in real life. I got out of there unscathed, it’s a long story... I never was raped, and I never was harmed. I don’t know how I got out of that hotel room.

It always starts with ‘I’m a healer I want to massage you and I sort of squirmed my way out’,” Margulies said in an interview on US satellite radio Sirius XM this week.

Margulies also had a close encounter with mogul Harvey Weinstein, who has been accused of assault by more than 50 women, during which she described being brought to his hotel room by an assistant.

Weinstein was in a bathrobe when he opened the door to the actress and had candles and a dinner set for two inside his room.

On seeing the female assistant

with Margulies he appeared angry, according to the actress, and commended her on a great audition before slamming the door. The actress said she did not get the part.

Oldest evidence of wine-making found

O

enophiles take note: 5980 BC was a very good year for wine.

Scientists recently announced the discovery of the oldest-known evidence for wine-making, detecting telltale chemical signs of the fermented alcoholic beverage made from grapes in fragments of nearly 8000-year-old earthenware jars at two sites about 50km south of Georgia’s capital Tbilisi.

The findings show that this important cultural achievement occurred earlier than previously known in the South Caucasus region on the border of Eastern Europe and Western Asia. Until now, the oldest wine-making evidence had come from pottery from the Zagros Mountains in northwestern Iran dating to 5400-5000 BC. “Alcohol had an important role in societies in the past just as today,” said University of Toronto archaeologist Stephen Batiuk, one of the researchers in the study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of

Sciences.

“Wine is central to civilisation as we know it in the West,” Batiuk added. “As a medicine, social lubricant, mind-altering substance and highly valued commodity, wine became the focus of religious cults, pharmacopoeias, cuisines, economies and society in the ancient Near East.”

David Lordkipanidze, director of the Georgian National Museum who helped lead the research, said large jars called qvevri similar to the ancient ones are still used today for wine-making in Georgia.

The researchers performed biochemical analyses to find residual wine compounds the pottery had absorbed.

University of Pennsylvania biomolecular archaeologist Patrick McGovern found evidence of tartaric acid, an indication of brewing involving the Eurasian grape, as well as three associated organic acids: malic, succinic and citric.

The pottery was found at two Neolithic villages, once home to perhaps 60 people each, consisting of small mudbrick

houses.

Evidence of wine was spotted in eight jars, the oldest from about 5980 BC. “The wine was probably made similarly to the traditional qvevri method in Georgia today, where the grapes are crushed and the fruit, stems

and seeds are all fermented together,” Batiuk said.

This is not the earliest sign of any alcoholic beverage.

Evidence previously was found in China of a fermented alcoholic mix of rice, honey and fruit from about 7000 BC.

New calls for ‘added sugar’ labels on food

H

ealth ministers’ phones are expected to start ringing as consumers voice their support for ‘added sugar’ labelling on food packaging.

Consumer group CHOICE has joined forces with the Australian Dental Association to launch a new national campaign about the impact of sugar on teeth and hope it will lead to food labelling changes.

Telephone numbers for Australia’s health ministers have been included in the campaign so consumers can call to show their support for ‘added sugar’ labelling.

One third of Australian children suffer from tooth decay by the age of six, with dental services costing Australians an estimated $9.9 billion a year.

CHOICE spokesperson

Katinka Day says governments must stop dragging their feet on the issue of added sugar labelling.

“For too long, consumers have been denied basic information on added sugar.

It’s essential that people can easily tell the difference between foods with naturally occurring sugars, like lactose in yoghurt, and added sugars which have virtually no nutritional benefits,” Ms Day said.

Associate Professor Matt Hopcraft, the CEO of the ADA’s Victorian branch, says added sugars are a key cause for the high rates of childhood tooth decay.

“Australian teenagers are consuming on average 20 teaspoons of sugar per day, well above the six teaspoons recommended by the World Health Organisation,” he said.

habits are established early.

“We know habits formed in childhood and adolescence are highly likely to carry on into adulthood,” She said.

Analysis of the 2011-12 National Nutrition and Physical Activity survey found 13.2 per cent of boys and 18.6 per cent of girls were breakfast skippers.

The unhealthy habit increased with age, from five per cent of boys and 11 per cent of girls aged 2-3 years, to 25 per cent of boys and 36 per cent of girls aged 14-17 years.

Of those who did report eating breakfast, 36 out of the nearly 1600 surveyed only consumed a beverage for breakfast on one day.

The research also showed that kids who did habitually skip breakfast, most of them had a parent or primary caregiver who also skipped.

Ms Murray says for people who don’t like cereal a wholegrain toast topped with avacado or eggs is a good idea, as is a fruit-based smoothie. “You can always blitz them up the night before and put them in the fridge ready to go in a take-away cup,” Ms Murray said.

here are concerns too many Australian teenagers aren’t eating the so-called most important meal of the day, breakfast.

New research, published in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health, has found up to one in five adolescents commonly skip breakfast.

While Australian children and adolescents aren’t going without breakfast every day “occasional skipping is more common”, the authors wrote.

Natasha Murray, spokesperson for the Dietitians Association of Australia, says the results are worrying because eating breakfast is a great way to get in extra vitamins and minerals such as calcium.

“There’s research out there that says people who routinely skip breakfast have lower intakes of food groups including dairy, and as you know we recommend two to three serving per day,” said Ms Murray.

“Breakfast is also a great source of Vitamin B, folate and fibre,” she added.

Ms Murray says its important that good breakfast eating

‘Disneyland of Italian food’ in Bologna

A

giant theme park featuring Italian food will open in one of Italy’s culinary capitals, which its organisers hope will one day be on par with the Colosseum in drawing tourists.

FICO Eataly World, dubbed by local media as the “Disneyland of Italian food,” is set to be inaugurated on Wednesday by Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni in the outskirts of Bologna, the northern town famous for giving the world tortellini, lasagne and bolognese sauce.

Set on the grounds of a former wholesale food market, the 100,000-squaremetre site comprises two hectares of open fields and stables, 200 animals, more than 45 restaurants, bars and cafes, an indoor market, a conference centre, a theatre and cinema facilities.

Billed as the “world’s largest agri-food park,” FICO Eataly World is the brainchild of Oscar Farinetti, an entrepreneur whose chain of luxury Italian food

Bologna’s Major, Virginio Merola (L) greets Italian entrepreneur Oscar Farinetti during the media presentation of the ‘FICO Eataly World’, ‘La Fabbrica Italiana Contadina’ (‘The Italian Farmer Factory’) in Bologna, Italy, 09 November 2017. ‘FICO Eataly World’, the largest Italian agri-food park, will be open on 15 November 2017.

supermarkets, Eataly, has successfully expanded abroad, including in Germany, the United States, Qatar and Japan.

Visitors will be able to taste and buy Italian food, tour 40 on-site farm factories, take cooking classes and learn about a range of food-

related topics, ranging from biodiversity to brewing beer.

Entry is free, but tours, classes, food and wine tastings are extra.

In a statement, FICO said it aims to attract six million visitors per year, including at least two million foreigners.

By comparison, the

Colosseum and the Roman Forum, Italy’s most popular tourist site, had 6.4 million visitors last year.

“Italy needs to go from 50 to 100 million tourists [per year]. This is what FICO is for,” Farinetti said at a press launch last week.

Is night time eating harmful to health?

E

ating late at night could predispose a person to diabetes and heart disease, a study suggests.

Researchers at the National Autonomous University of Mexico examined the impact of late night eating on fat levels in the blood of rats.

The results, published in journal Experimental Physiology, showed triglyceride (fat) levels spiked more drastically compared to those of rats fed during the day.

This may be because consuming food in the evening falls out of sync with the body’s natural 24-hour body clock, the researchers propose.

“The fact that we can ignore our biological clock is important for survival; we can decide to sleep during the day when we are extremely tired or we run away from danger at night. However, doing this frequently - with shift work, jet lag, or staying up late at night - will harm our health in the long-term especially when we eat at times when we should sleep,” said study author Ruud Buijs.

However, an Australian expert says its too early to be linking night eating to heart disease or diabetes.

Associate Professor

Amanda Salis from the University of Sydney’s Boden Institute of Obesity, Nutrition, Exercise & Eating Disorders says the research is “interesting” but larger studies are needed before people start changing their food habits to avoid eating at night.

“We know that the body metabolises food differently at different times of the day and this study adds a nice piece of that jigsaw puzzle by showing a part of the brain that’s involved in mediating that affect,” Assoc Prof Salis said.

“But don’t change your diet or the times that you eat because you think its going to reduce heart disease because for that we need large scale human intervention or epidemiological studies to really get the full picture.”

According to the Australian obesity researcher, some larger studies have actually shown that Ramadan fasting - where food is only eaten when the sun is down improves blood lipids and markers for cardiovascular risk.

“Basically eating a healthy diet is still the most important thing, plenty of fruits and vegetables, not too much processed foods,” Assoc Prof Salis said.

o celebrate taking out this year’s Corner Award, Melbourne punk trio Cable Ties will be inviting along some very special guests as they get set to host the first ever Cable Ties Ball, a multi-stage event at the Corner Hotel this February.

Launched last year, the Corner Award started as a way to give a bit back to the music community that has given us so much over the years. A team of industry experts has tirelessly worked together to whittle down the longlist of rising music stars, into a shortlist and finally decide on one worthy recipient. As a part of the award, Cable Ties’ show at the Corner Hotel on Sat 24 February will double as their first headlining appearance at the venue.

Cable Ties began piecing together their unbridled brand of wiry guitar tunes in singer and guitarist Jenny McKechnie’s back shed in early 2015.

Since then, they’ve gone on to develop a cult-like following amongst lovers of frenetic punk and garage the world over.

After only having been performing together for just over a year the band went on to conquer the opening slot at the 2016 Meredith Music Festival, earning them more than a few raised right boots.

This preceded a signing with legendary Melbourne label Poison City leading to the release of their debut self-titled album earlier this year. What followed was a nationwide string of sold out shows, local support slots for the likes of The Peep Tempel and The Kills, a European tour with Jen Cloher, the announcement of their inclusion on the 2018 St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival line-up and more!

The Cable Ties Ball will see the band take the stage with the likes of Habits, Miss Blanks, The Dacios, Simona, Eat-Man and Miss Destiny.

Cable Ties perform Saturday February 24 at The Corner Hotel, Swan Street in Richmond. For more information visit www.thecornerhotel.com

A visual feast for the eyes!

E

ver feel like you need a visual lift, that special zing for your eyes so to speak?

There is a gorgeous little art studio/ gallery situated at 668A Nepean Highway Carrum called Aegean Designs, which is filled with effervescent colours, graceful shapes and vibrancy that will unashamedly give your eyes, mind and senses a visual feast!

English born but Melbourne raised, Allison Ermogenis is a modern day artist whose works have been described as a ‘contemporary impressionist specializing in sea life’.

You might just think you’ve immersed into an exotic fish tank when entering her gallery, because your gaze is immediately drawn to the myriad of colourful fish, large sea horses, and vibrant picturesque flowers adorning the walls.

This stunning Mediterranean influence came about from a sea change Allison did with her family several years back. She moved to Oia Santorini in Greece and opened and operated her very successful gallery Aegean Designs in Firostefani. She sold and exhibited internationally for eight years. During this time she was invited as a guest lecturer at London’s prestigious Winchester University. In fact her art beautifies the walls of many prominent and TV personalities worldwide.

These days Carrum is home to her new Atelier and she is certainly kept busy with commissions and teaching. Additionally to Allison’s beautiful seascapes are her hand painted designs on linen and silk. This delightful gallery is definitely worth visiting.

Aegean Designs is open Tuesday to Sunday, 11-5 or by appointment. To be notified of future exhibitions, classes or for general inquiries, please email your details to aegeandesigns@ymail.com Or call

Life-giving heart surgery for Aussie pooch

A

Sydney pooch named Prince has been given a new leash on life after becoming the first Australian dog with an incurable type of cardiorespiratory disease to receive open-heart surgery.

Prince, a 10-year-old male Cavalier King Charles suffered from mitral valve disease (MVD), which kills thousands of dogs in Australia every year.

After the six-hour operation performed by Dr Masami Uechi and five members of his team from Japan, Prince’s life expectancy has been extended for years.

“Due to the fact that this was a first-of-its-kind operation, the emotional and financial cost was high,” Prince’s owner Cindy and Ken Ting said in a statement.

The total cost has come in at $50,000, a University of Sydney spokeswoman said.

The couple hopes Dr Uechi’s procedure will be more accessible for other dog owners in Australia who were previously left without hope if their pet was diagnosed with MVD. Joining Dr Uechi and his

team were Veterinary Science specialists from the University of Sydney, eager to learn how to perform this operation in Australia.

Veterinary cardiology specialist Dr Niek Beijerink said it was an unparalleled opportunity to be able to take part in the operation. “(It’s the) start of the process of learning how to perform the surgery ourselves on Australian dogs and hopefully prolong many of their lives,” he said in a statement.

Dr Uechi, Director of Jasmine Veterinary Cardiovascular Medical Centre in Japan, says it’s taken him 15 years to develop the mitral valve repair technique.

After operating first on cats, he’s now applied the technique to more than 900 dogs with a 94 per cent success rate.

Given the expense for the procedure included the surgeons’ flights from Japan, University of Sydney has launched a crowdfunding campaign to support the cost of training.

MVD occurs predominantly in middle-aged to older dogs of a small to medium-size breed.

Dr Uechi has flown from Japan to Australia to perform Australia’s first successful open-heart surgery on a dog at the University of Sydney.

Sudoku#7 2 - Challenging Sudoku

ARIES You’re in a festive mood this week, Aries. Positive changes are happening or are about to happen. To make sure that these will happen, you may want to get rid of the ghosts of your past and be curious about new discoveries. Do some backlogged maintenance and when you’ve done, you can dive into new adventures.

TAURUS Your energy is high this week, Taurus. You have the get-up-and-go spirit resulting to increased productivity at work or in your studies. Ticking off items from your to-do list is a big confidence booster. Watch out for signs of getting overwhelmed, though. Make sure to prioritize your tasks according to urgency and importance.

GEMINI This week could be a bit overwhelming for you, Gemini. This could be because you’re making yourself too available to take on tasks that are too big and without enough support.

The key is to identify your priorities and come up with a plan. You’re a giver, Gemini, but right now it is understandable for you to ask for help.

CANCER Your creativity and resourcefulness are to be commended this week, Cancer. You want to deal with things in a different way and you will discover a way to do something faster without lowering the quality. Your intuition is working overtime as well. You can use this to make decisions instead of being purely cerebral.

LEO You want to liberate yourself as much as possible from restraining straps, but you don’t have to speed up the process. Start with reframing a negative thought and being open to seeing things from a different angle. When you allow yourself to believe in the impossible, you get inspired to make things happen, not as exactly perfect but close enough.

VIRGO You are a real multi-tasker, Virgo, and you have a lot of things on your mind. Bear in mind that a good structure is needed. Before you start working, lie down or sit comfortably and meditate and tune in to your thoughts. Clear away the stress about the bulk of work that must be done.

Sudoku #2 LIBRA Feeling overwhelmed, Libra? It’s time to slow down a bit and to think about how you want to continue. Having the right people around will help you sort things out. Connect with 9 3 4 6 5 7 2 8 1 people who supports your vision. Outline your expectations so everyone becomes aware of 6 5 1 2 9 8 7 4 3 what their roles are. This season also reminds you that laughter is the best medicine.

SCORPIO Couples could go through some trying times this week, Scorpio. You could feel 2 8 7 1 4 3 5 6 9 that your partner doesn’t help you enough and that irritates you. If that is the case, talk 8 1 3 5 7 6 4 9 2 about it and make a list of deliverables so your partner understands the role he/she is meant to play.

5 7 9 4 3 2 6 1 8 SAGITTARIUS Someone in your vicinity wants a drastic change but the question remains if 4 2 6 9 8 1 3 7 5 you want to go along with that or not. It’s important that you maintain a quiet pace to avoid conflicts and to be able to discuss things, Sagi. You may have to abandon your comfort zone 1 9 2 7 6 5 8 3 4 altogether. Whatever it is, trust that things will work out okay.

3 6 5 8 1 4 9 2 7 CAPRICORN Not everyone runs on the same energy level as you do, Cap, but that’s not an excuse Challenging 7Sudoku to be overly generous. Being friendly and always available is so noble of you, but you also have 4 8 by3 KrazyDad, 2 9 1 Volume 5 6 1, Book 7 to give others a chance to step up their game.

Foreign owners to be taxed for empty homes F

oreign owners will be slugged with an annual fee if their property is left vacant for six months or more after legislation cleared the Senate.

Deductions investors can claim on residential properties will also be limited under the new measures announced in the May budget, which passed the upper house on Wednesday.

The vacancy charge, which

will be in line with fees foreigners pay to buy an Australian property, is designed to increase the number of homes on the rental market.

Local investors will no longer be able to claim travel costs to travel to properties, and plant and equipment tax deductions will be restricted.

Labor supported the bills, despite arguing they would do little to make housing more

affordable.

But the government faces a tougher time passing the main part of its housing affordability plan, which would allow first-home buyers to save for a deposit through their superannuation.

Labor and the Greens are opposed to the scheme, meaning the government will need to secure crossbench support.

HOME SALES IMPROVE IN SOFT MARKET H

ome sales across Australia’s capital cities have edged higher in the past week, but the auction market remains soft with prices largely unchanged.

The national auction

clearance rate rose to 65.4 per cent in the week to November 19, up from a revised 62.8 per cent in the previous week, preliminary figures from property data group CoreLogic show.

Homes prices remained

flat across the combined five capital cities, staying unchanged in Sydney, but rising 0.1 per cent and 0.2 per cent in Melbourne and Perth, respectively.

MOST MILLENNIALS WORSE OFF THAN PARENTS

M

ost millennials will struggle to earn more money and find better jobs than their parents despite being more highly trained, according to a study by Credit Suisse.

Defined by the US Census Bureau as being those born between 1982 and 2000 - so between 35 and 17, now - millennials face tougher borrowing rules, rising home prices, and lower income mobility, the study said.

“With the baby boomers occupying most of the top jobs and much of the housing, millennials are doing less well than their parents at the same age, especially in relation to income, home ownership and other dimensions of wellbeing,” the Swiss bank wrote in its annual Global Wealth report, published on Tuesday.

As a result only high achievers and those in lucrative areas like technology and finance have better prospects than their parents.

MAZDA’S NEXT-GEN CX-5 MAINTAINS PLACE AS AUSSIE FAVOURITE

M

azda’s medium SUV continues to prove itself the most popular choice with Australians, with the Next-Gen CX-5 leading the SUV segment and breaking its October record according to VFACTS figures released today.

The Next-Gen CX-5 retained its place as Australia’s favourite SUV in October, reporting a 3.2 per cent year on year increase with 21,360 sales for the year to date, more than any other SUV across all segments.

The Next-Gen CX-5 also broke its own October sales record, achieving 2,173 retails, amounting to a 6.7 per cent increase on the previous record.

On a global scale, the Next-Gen CX-5 is also credited with helping Mazda Motor Corporation achieve record results. The roll-out has steered the company to a new global sales record of 783,000 units for the first half of FYE March 2018, up 8,000 units year on year.

Overall, Mazda Australia saw positive results across its range; retailing 8,054 units to total 89,863 units for the year to date.

Managing Director of Mazda Australia, Vinesh Bhindi, said

PEOPLE MOVERS

results for the Next-Gen CX-5 affirm the SUV’s place as a market leader.

“The CX-5 has gone from strength to strength in Australia; its style, safety and performance offer customers a winning combination,” Bhindi said.

“We expect this success to continue, with additional production from the Hofu Plant in Japan offering increased supply of the CX-5 to our market.”

It’s easy to see why the NextGen CX-5 is so appealing; boasting bold sporty styling and high quality finishes, the design reflects Mazda’s celebrated KODO design language.

Recently scoring a 5 star ANCAP safety rating, the NextGen CX-5 also offers an array of refined i-ACTIVESENSE safety technologies.

A number of i-ACTIVSENSE safety technologies are offered as standard on all grades: Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) and Smart City Brake Support [Forward/Reverse] (SCBS F/R).

Touring grade upwards features Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) and front parking sensors.

AFL ADDS AFLX TO 2018 PRE-SEASON

O

Reluctant Smith to bowl in Ashes << cont. from front page...

Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon form a formidable attack and could potentially rip through England’s inexperienced batting order this week.

But with no allrounder at his disposal and an XI bereft of parttimers, Smith is the obvious fifth option and may have no choice but to bring himself on during the Ashes opener that starts in Brisbane on Thursday.

“We’re always trying to make him bowl. He’ll certainly bowl during the series,” coach Darren Lehmann said on Sunday.

“He’ll have to bowl at some stage I’m sure. England are a quality side and he’s got some key wickets against England before.”

Shane Warne is among many pundits to have called for Smith to bowl himself more in recent years.

“I certainly could bowl if need

be, I’d prefer not to,” Smith said last month.

“Bowling legspin, it takes a lot of time. For me to get a rhythm that I need, it’s about bowling for so long and I like to focus on my batting.

“When I’m not batting, I like to watch the nets and ensure guys are training the right way - watching them prepare and giving them advice. Then I obviously have to do my catching.

“I’ve got to do all those things and it’s just not possible to do everything.”

Further complicating matters is that Starc and Hazlewood are both coming off recent injuries, while Cummins’ injuryplagued history has been well documented.

Smith must juggle going for the jugular with the need to keep his most potent weapons fresh during the first Test and beyond, with Chadd Sayers’ presence in

the 13-man squad a pointer to the potential of a rejigged attack in Adelaide.

“We didn’t play one (an allrounder) last summer for a while, so we’re comfortable with the three fast bowlers and Lyon,” Lehmann said.

“We’re really comfortable we can get 20 wickets.”

Especially at the Gabba, where Australia’s most recent Test loss came in 1988.

Lyon regards it among his favourite grounds because of the bounce on offer, while the hosts boast a better pace attack than England according to the home side’s bowling coach David Saker.

“We’ve got the edge in pace, got the edge in height and we have the ability to knock good batsmen over quite regularly,” Saker said, having previously worked with Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad as England’s bowling coach.

ne of the AFL’s worstkept secrets is finally official, with the league announcing on Friday that AFLX will be part of the 2018 pre-season schedule.

Dubbed the AFL’s answer to cricket’s Twenty20 format, AFLX is designed to be a fastpaced game played on soccersized fields.

Three separate round-robin tournaments with six AFL clubs competing in each will be played at Adelaide’s Hindmarsh Stadium, Etihad Stadium in Melbourne and Sydney’s Allianz Stadium.

In October, the pre-season series was cut from three rounds to two to accommodate AFLX, but the league held off announcing the move while remaining logistical issues were dealt with.

The round-robin tournaments will be held on the weekend before the pre-season series gets under way.

“AFLX has been created to provide us with the options to play a form of the game in places where oval grounds are limited and to showcase our game internationally at a point in the future,” AFL game development chief Andrew Dillon said.

“The decision to hold three individual tournaments during the men’s 2018 pre-season period has been chosen to introduce clubs, their players, their fans and the wider public to the AFLX game.”

The league has extensively trialled AFLX, which is played between two teams of seven, with three players on the bench, and features 10-minute quarters with no centre bounces.

HOW THE SOCCEROOS GOT THEIR A-LEAGUE START • Mat Ryan - emerged as an 18-year-old with the Central Coast Mariners and attracted European interest on the back of three dominant seasons. Twice named the A-League’s young footballer of the year and won a grand final in 2013.

• Trent Sainsbury - another former Mariner who also made his debut as a teenager. Originally

from Perth, he too was part of the team’s 2013 championship side.

• Matthew Jurman - it’s been a long road for the 27-year-old, but two stints with Sydney FC - either side of a two-season spell with Brisbane - earned him a contract in South Korea, and he’s kicked on from there.

• Mile Jedinak - couldn’t even get a contract in the A-League’s

first season. Famously commuted from western Sydney to Gosford three times per week while juggling full-time work to eventually get a gig with Central Coast.

• Mark Milligan - played a few NSL games for Northern Spirit but made his name at Sydney FC, before spending one season with Newcastle and then Melbourne

Victory’s Berisha lapping up A-League hate B

esart Berisha has a message for the A-League boo boys: keep on singing.

The Kosovo international netted his third goal of the season on Sunday as Melbourne Victory claimed their first win of the campaign, a 2-0 triumph over Perth.

He did so against vicious chants from the home Glory crowd, which boasts a particular distaste for the 32-year-old.

Berisha’s contentious injurytime penalty in the 2012 grand final against Perth, and resulting spot-kick winner, is still the closest the Western Australians have come to silverware in the A-League era.

And then there’s Berisha’s all-

time record against Perth.

In 19 matches, Berisha has scored 16 goals against the Glory -- more than any club in his seven-year stay in Australia.

So amid the chants of being a bastard and a cheat, perhaps that’s way the A-League’s leading striker had a huge smile on his face after scoring the opener at nib Stadium.

“It always motivates me when you see that you’re not loved from away supporters,” he said.

“That’s very normal. It would be bad if they love you.

“It will never change. If you’re a player that will score against their team, always you’ll be hated.”

Victory leapt from bottom of

the A-League to the top six with the win, and will climb further if the feat can be repeated on Thursday night.

Kevin Muscat’s side go straight from Perth to Newcastle for a Thursday night clash with the second-placed Newcastle Jets.

Three points will lift the heavyweights to fourth in the league, not bad given it took them six rounds to score their first success.

“It was a very needed three points. A very important win for us,” Berisha said.

“I always believed that very soon the win was going to come.

“I hope this game against Perth will give us momentum and good confidence to go to Newcastle.”

Victory in more recent times.

• Aaron Mooy - failed to come through the youth ranks at Bolton Wanderers and struggled in Scotland. But Mooy was one of Western Sydney’s inaugural signings when the club was formed. He later shifted to Melbourne City, where his star truly began to rise.

• Tom Rogic - plucked from obscurity by winning a global Nike competition. Rogic was then signed by Central Coast, who won silverware on the back of his precocious talent. Also spent a brief period on loan at Melbourne Victory from Celtic.

• Mathew Leckie - was playing in Victoria’s second tier when Adelaide United handed him a chance in 2009. Immediately lit up the competition before German clubs came calling.

• Aziz Behich - maligned by Melbourne Victory fans for missing a sitter in their 2010 grand final defeat. Later moved to Melbourne Heart, where he was converted into a left-back and had four strong, consistent seasons.

• Tim Cahill - the outlier in this crop, having transferred to Milwall at a young age.

Never played senior football in Australia until he joined Melbourne City ahead of the 2016-17 season.

• Tomi Juric - spent time in Croatia as a youth but made his mark with an eye-catching few appearances for Adelaide United, then won the AFC Champions League with the Wanderers.

• Robbie Kruse - was axed by Brisbane Roar after some offfield discretions in his teenage years, but Melbourne Victory handed him another chance and he made it count across two seasons.

• James Troisi - another who was in Europe for most of his formative years. However, most of Troisi’s best form as a senior footballer has come during his two stints with Melbourne Victory.

Pilates the secret

for Dockers’ Ballantyne F

remantle goalsneak Hayden Ballantyne has taken up pilates in a bid to avoid the soft-tissue problems that have plagued him throughout his AFL career.

Ballantyne missed the first 13 rounds last season because of two hamstring injuries, the first of which required surgery.

It continued a theme of injuries that have occurred regularly during Ballantyne’s 151-game career.

At 30 years of age and with only a one-year contract under his belt, Ballantyne is doing

everything he can to ensure season 2018 will be one to remember for all the right reasons.

Flexibility exercises worked well for Matthew Pavlich during his 353-game career and Ballantyne was more than happy to follow in the footsteps of his former skipper.

“Pav always used to talk about all the extra flexibility stuff he used to do, so I thought I’ll give pilates a go and it’s worked wonders, and I’ll keep doing them,” Ballantyne said on Monday.

HOWE HOPES FOR AFL MARK OF THE YEAR REVIEW

HODGE EMBRACES CHANGE OF PACE AT LIONS << cont. from back page...

as I can.

“But it’s a positive as well, you can also go and train hard but also get that release whereas in Melbourne, you don’t.”

Brisbane’s other major recruit, Charlie Cameron, was also looking forward to the “escape” after struggling with the glare of the spotlight with the Adelaide Crows.

“Adelaide is just footy, footy, footy,” Cameron said.

“Coming back here, there’s no footy, no talk, anything.

“You can get away, enjoy yourself, so you don’t have to think about footy too much. If you do, it plays with your head.”

Hodge is aiming to play about 16 games for the Lions next year but said his body will ultimately dictate his output.

He spent 16 seasons with

Hawthorn, playing in four premierships and captaining the team in three of them.

The move to Brisbane reunites him with Chris Fagan, who had been a key figure on the Hawks’ coaching staff for most of his time at the club.

“There was butterflies coming here, just because it’s something different,” Hodge said.

“But footy clubs are the same.

As long as you get around most of the guys, have a bit of a chat, you fit in pretty easily.

“The first thing (I noticed) as we walked out the track (was) how energetic the young guys are.

“Where I’ve come from has been an older group. Sometimes you need the young guys to push the vibe of the place.

“The excitement of the young guys -- as an older fella -- is exactly what we need.”

C

ollingwood star Jeremy Howe is hopeful the AFL will change its mark of the year judging process after his controversial snub in this year’s award.

Howe’s spectacular grab over Melbourne’s Tom McDonald was widely lauded as the most brilliant mark of the season, but Essendon’s Joe Daniher won the award, which is voted on by the public.

Magpies president Eddie McGuire quickly called for an overhaul of the system after

the Brownlow Medal ceremony snub that left Howe visibly stunned.

“Nuh,” Howe replied with a laugh when asked if he was over the shock result on Monday.

“No, I am, but there’s not much you can do about it. I’ll just have to go harder next year.

“Word from above is that they’re going to change it to a (judging) panel - it’s not going to be voted on by the public - but we’ll see.

LEVER DISAPPOINTED WITH CROWS FALLOUT M elbourne star recruit Jake Lever insists his commitment to Adelaide didn’t waver until after their AFL grand final loss.

The 21-year-old says he was disappointed the Crows told him not to attend their best-andfairest awards after he sought

a long-speculated trade back to his native Victoria.

“I guess you do think about it during the year but you never come to a final decision ... in the end for myself and my fiancee Jess, we were pretty keen to soon start a family,” Lever told reporters on Monday.

HODGE EMBRACES CHANGE OF PACE AT LIONS

L

uke Hodge can already tell just how different playing for the Brisbane Lions is going to be compared to life in AFL-mad Victoria.

The 33-year-old admitted he had butterflies in his stomach driving to his first pre-season training session on Monday.

It represents a dramatic change of pace for Hawthorn great, who shelved retirement plans to sign a two-year deal with Brisbane.

The AFL bubble is inescapable in Melbourne but in Queensland, where rugby league takes precedence and the struggling

Lions often battle for publicity, Hodge will enjoy near-anonymity.

“When I was up here last time, it took me about six pages before I found AFL (in the newspaper) so that might be a little bit different,” Hodge told reporters on Monday.

“I grew up since the age of four or five loving footy and I’m no different now.

“I’m a footy head. So I’ll probably watch as much footy
