SEASON

The Emirates Australian Open will tee off at The Australian Golf Club in Sydney on November 27. Rory McIlroy

7th hole, The Australian Golf Club, Sydney

he Australian Open is the country’s most prestigious golf championship and the one every player wants to win. It has a rich, century-old history and always draws the nation’s best players, who each vie for the Stonehaven Cup and $1.25 million in prize money. Golfing superstars such as Adam Scott, Rory McIlroy, Gunn Yang, and Ollie Schniederjans have been confirmed to play at this year’s tournament, leaving fans of the sport eagerly awaiting the event. The past five winners of the Australian Open (in order) include: Rory, Peter Senior, Greg Chalmers, Geoff Ogilvy and Adam Scott. Rory said he is excited to return to Sydney to defend his title. “I had a terrific experience last year in front of great crowds,” he said. “They really loved the showdown between Adam and I and it proved to be a really important win for me.” Rory won the 2012 US PGA Championship at Kiawah Island and the 2011 US Open at the Congressional Country Club, among seven PGA Tour victories to date. With his win in Liverpool, he joined the record books with Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods as the only three players to have won three major championships by the age of 25. “I believe my return to form was given real momentum in Australia last year and I’ve heard

Issue 6

www.inflightmagazine.com.au

great things about The Australian Golf Club since the Jack Nicklaus redesign, so I’m looking forward to competing in front of the Aussie fans again this year,” Rory said. Golf Australia CEO, Stephen Pitt, said the Emirates Australian Open was fast becoming a must-see event. “We are thrilled that Rory is able to return to Sydney in November,” he said. “His commanding wins at the Open Championship and the Bridgestone Invitational were another demonstration of his extraordinary talent, which has made him the household name that he is.” The Emirates Australian Open will be broadcast live on the Seven Network across all four days, from November 27-30. And for those who’d like to attend, day tickets start from $35 each, while a weekend pass is $60 and a four-day pass is $105. See ausopengolf.com for more information or ticketek.com.au.

JOKES Golf: you hit down to make the ball go up. You swing left and the ball goes right. The lowest score wins, then the winner buys the drinks! It’s called golf because all the other swear words were taken! Golf is the only sport where the most feared opponent is you. Golf is like marriage: if you take yourself too seriously it won’t work, and it costs an arm and a leg. No matter how badly you play golf, it’s always possible to get worse! n

SUPER

FINALE

The grand finale in the V8 Supercars Championship circuit – the Sydney NRMA 500 – is set to rip through Sydney Olympic Park from December 5-7.

Don’t miss a moment of the action, as Ford, Holden, Nissan, Mercedes-Benz AMG and Volvo go head to head for the Championship showdown.

Imagine sitting amid Australia’s lush landscape, indulging in good food and fine wine while being entertained by some of the greatest national and international musicians. A Day On The Green has this list checked year after year and its 2014-15 outdoor concert season – on now – is no exception, with Jimmy Barnes billed as one of the headline acts. Inflight Publishing’s Aly Eveille caught up with the man himself.

Day On The Green (ADOTG) has been kicking goals since 2001, bringing memorable experiences to Australia’s top wine-growing regions and green spaces annually from October to March. The launch of 2014’s season coincided with Jimmy Barnes’ newly released album 30:30, which is a highly anticipated recreation of his hits in collaboration with a stellar line-up of artists. And what’s exciting for fans and attendees of ADOTG this year is that Jimmy is billed as one of the headline

Issue 6

www.inflightmagazine.com.au

acts for the national tour, and he’ll be bringing some of his 30:30 crew with him. As a returning performer to ADOTG, Jimmy explained how each show caters to its varied audience. “If you want to get drunk and get up the front, you can do that,” he said. “If you want to sit back with a picnic basket with your wife and have dinner, you can do that. And if you want to bring your kids and lay on the lawn, you can do that [too]. It’s a gig that’s got something for everybody and I’m sure lashings of goodquality Australian wine helps, but add in a lot of really great Australian music and the combination is lethal!” The main thing Jimmy loves about ADOTG is the line up. “The idea is to have all of these great bands in one place, playing as hard as we can to drag the best out in each other,” he said. “We’re all going to be working our arses off because we inspire each other to do that and the audience will get to sit back and reap the benefits.” Another band appearing performing live at ADOTG will be The Living End – a favourite of Jimmy’s and an act he said he’ll have to live up to. “I’m really excited about working with The Living End because they’re just so bloody good and they’re ferocious as a band.” After The Living End plays, Jimmy said he’ll have to make an effort to maintain the crowd’s hype. “I’m going to have to work really hard, and I love that,” he said. After 40

Jimmy and the boys from The Living End

years of touring and 30 years as a solo artist, it’s surprising how much energy this Aussie rock’n’roll great still has. “Come and kick my arse, boys – I need it!” he said, laughing. Jimmy’s 30:30 album gives ADOTG fans a taste of his performances in the upcoming season. There are collaborations with Keith Urban, The Living End, Tina Arena, “Little” Steven Van Zandt, Baby Animals, Jon Stevens, his daughter Mahalia and even a track recorded by distance with former Powderfinger frontman Bernard Fanning. “I’ve spent a lot of time touring and I like to be stimulated by other bands,” Jimmy said. “I find that every time I sing with another artist or band I learn something from how they tackle things. Every time I do that with anybody I learn something new and I think that’s a great thing. As long as you’re learning, you’re moving forward.” A Day on the Green, featuring Jimmy Barnes and The Living End, takes place at Mitchelton Wines at Nagambie, Victoria, on Saturday, December 13; and at Rochford Wines at the Yarra Valley, Victoria, on Saturday, December 20. Gates open about 3pm and close about 10.30pm. Tickets are on sale now. General admission: $105 per person. See ticketmaster.com.au for tickets, or www.adayonthegreen.com.au for more information.

FINE

FOLK The largest gathering of artists and musicians in Australia heads to Queensland’s Woodfordia once again for the Woodford Folk Festival, from December 27 to January 1.

Kate Miller-Heidke

he Woodford Folk Festival celebrates its 29th year in 2014 with a vibrant, stimulating program, as has come to be expected by the regular attendees, volunteers and artists who travel to the event from across the country and around the globe. This year, more than 400 acts will present 1556 shows in 35 performance venues over six spectacular days and nights. THE MUSIC This year’s national and international musical highlights include: The Violent Femmes, Bertie Blackman, Husky, The Cat Empire, Archie Roach, Kate Miller-Heidke, Christine Anu, Mia Dyson, Darren Middleton, Lior, The Cairos, Mama Kin, Nahko and Medicine for the People, The Topp Twins, Sticky Fingers, Tiny Ruins, We Two Thieves, Hiatus Kaiyote and more. The Violent Femmes’ bassist, Brian Ritchie, said, “The range and mass of art and audience at Woodford is unique in the Aussie festival scene. I enjoy attending Woodford because there are always surprise gems, like a sitarist playing by candlelight, or Canadian maritime music around a campfire. The organisers are music lovers foremost and put their hearts into it.” FOR THE YOUNGSTERS Children visiting Woodfordia can help build a bamboo cubby, or dance and sing with the delightful Mic Conway’s National Junk Band and Papa Piki Music. Each day is a new adventure with hands-on craft experiences, such as Stories in Suitcases. Kids can also learn all about growing food with Permakids and Kids Kitchen Chaos. TALKS Woodford welcomes the dreamers, the makers, the bards, the line-pushers, history-makers and the leaders in their fields each year to share their ideas, including: Bob Hawke, Josh Fox, Rhoda Roberts, Uncle Jack Charles, Catherine Deveny, Sean Choolburra, Richard Fidler, Robert Llewellyn, Karen Middleton, Nigel Brennan, Tim Cope, Tenzin Choegyal, Professor Ian Lowe, Rod Quantock, Fiona Scott Norman, Anna Rose and more in 2014. BEYOND Whatever your interests, the arts and cultural village that springs up at Woodfordia for six days and nights provides everything you need for an incredible time. More than 40 food stalls and restaurants with 14 bars have been selected to provide fantastic culinary experiences from around the world. And the entire festival is an exquisitely decorated setting for a sensory feast. “Anyone who comes to Woodford should feel there is a program that was made just with them in mind, no matter what age, interest, musical persuasion or place they’ve come from,” festival director, Bill Hauritz, said. “If the real world has beaten you down during the year, we hope we have created a program that provides opportunity for rejuvenation, play and a re-set for the year ahead. If you are a seeker, we hope we offer a program to discuss, explore, observe, and participate in new experiences in an environment among positively-minded fellow patrons. If your idea of the festival season is simply for fun, sharing with friends and listening to some of the best music in the world, we reckon we’ve found those acts.” TICKET PRICES Book your tickets online before Christmas Eve and save 20 per cent. Adults: $543 for the full six days and nights with camping. Or $134 per adult for one day and one night with camping. Tickets just for the event (without camping) are also available.

Critical Acclaim director, Robert Lepage, following KÁ at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. It traces the fascinating journey of the human species from its original amphibian state to its ultimate desire to fly. The characters evolve on a stage, evoking a giant turtle, the symbol of origin for many ancient civilisations. Inspired by many founding myths, TOTEM illustrates – through a visual and acrobatic language – the evolutionary progress of

species. Somewhere between science and legend, TOTEM explores the ties that bind man to other species, his dreams and his infinite potential. Adult tickets start at $99.

Samsung Galaxy S5 – The Leader

Due for a new phone? We’ve reviewed five top-selling models released in 2014, to help you decide which one best suits your needs. By: Zinzan Clements HTC One M8 – Music to Your Ears The new HTC One M8 is targeting music lovers via its powerful front-facing speakers with HTC optimised audio software. HTC is promising that the speakers will last longer and enhance all media audio.

Apple iPhone 6 – Catching Up The iPhone 6 is playing catch up and Apple has also released its first big phone, the iPhone 6 Plus (same phone, bigger screen). The iPhone 6 is the only dual-core phone surveyed here and has the slowest speed rating (compared with the other four phones). It also suffers from the second-worst talk time (before the battery dies) and the worst battery stand-by time (compared with the other phones here). On the flipside, the new iPhone is super thin and super light, with a width of 6.7 millimetres and a weight of only 129 grams – less than a McDonald’s Quarter Pounder! Disturbingly though, some owners have reported that the new iPhone's aluminium body has actually bent in their pocket. Apple recently responded to these complaints, describing them as “extremely rare” and going on to say that “iPhones are designed, engineered and manufactured to be both beautiful and sturdy”. The iPhone 6 also has some cool features, such as time-lapse recording and super slow-mo but it’s on the expensive side, with an $870 price tag for the 6, and $1000 for the 6 Plus.

Apart from the pumping new sound, the M8 body is constructed from one solid piece of aluminium. Featuring a curved back and a polished glass screen, the phone’s design has won rave reviews. The downside is its surprisingly weak fourmegapixel rear camera. By comparison, the iPhone 6 has eight megapixels, and the Samsung Galaxy S5 has 16.

The Lumia 930 has the worst talk time of all the phones in this article, and is also the heaviest and thickest, coming in at nearly a centimetre thick.

Budgeting is a waste of time, according to income-acceleration coach, international speaker and author, Pat Mesiti. He suggests four alternatives for boosting your wealth significantly in 2015.

at Mesiti has seen countless people start a new year with the same idealistic resolutions, without really understanding how to change their circumstances. Pat believes that one of the reasons people repeatedly fail to change their financial circumstances is that they focus on the wrong path. “Too many people think that wealth is just about reining in expenses and working hard,” he said. “In actual fact, you can’t shrink your way to wealth, you need to expand it. It’s very important to look at where you can make more money outside your job. There are plenty of ways; it’s just a matter of finding the right one.” Pat believes that extra streams of income make people prosperous much faster than reigning in their spending and waiting for a pay rise. Here are four of the alternative streams of income Pat has seen work well for the people he’s coached. 1) Property People are often scared off by the high prices of property, but what you have to remember is that property is cyclic and it will always bring a return. The important thing is to know how and where to buy. 2) The internet The internet is a potential gold mine. People make an absolute fortune online buying and

selling websites, in online real estate, and through marketing. There are so many great ideas to create wealth online if you know the right strategies. And the best thing about it is that you’re now dealing with a global marketplace. 3) The stock market The stock market will always go up and down, but eventually it will bring you a return. If you are strategic and taught well, you can make money. Don’t be afraid of the stock market, it’s not gambling for adults, you just need to learn how to create the stock market, not predict it. 4) Monetise your skills People forget they can monetise their own expertise and knowledge. Learn how to leverage money from what you know. Can a gardener become a millionaire for his trade? Yes, just look at Jim Penman from Jim’s Mowing! Too many people believe they can budget their way to wealth, but if you look at the back stories of some of the richest people in the world, you will find that’s not really true. Stop looking at how much you can save by skipping your daily coffee and find your outrageous stream of income. Then you can start down that path to true prosperity, just like they did.

ABOUT PAT MESITI Pat Mesiti is the author of eight books, including his latest, Pathway to Prosperity, out now through Wiley. Pat is sought worldwide to inspire people to produce bigger results through their mindset. He has shared platforms with some of the world’s most influential people, including Sir Richard Branson, Donald Trump, Allan Pease and many more. He has raised more than half a million dollars for charity and is committed to helping raise 10,000 millionaires through his work. n

nfortunately for some of us, unexpected situations arise and they can be life changing. When the unexpected occurs, you need to know where you stand in relation to your legal rights. That’s when you need a lawyer most. We spend a large portion of our lives at work, yet many of us know little about our legal rights when the unexpected happens at work. Similarly, you may not be aware of your legal rights if you are involved in an incident on our roads. For example, did you know that time limits (as little as one month in some circumstances) and other restrictions exist that affect your legal rights when a workplace or traffic incident occurs? Don’t leave it to tomorrow, next week or next month, because sometimes the unexpected doesn’t just affect us, but also our loved ones. Talk to a lawyer now to protect your interests and find out where you stand. Knowing your legal rights doesn’t have to be complicated, and neither does your lawyer. Fortunately, not all lawyers are like the somewhat charming but seedy lawyer Saul Goodman from the hit television series Breaking Bad.

At Nautitech, we think that the drivers of underground vehicles are both competent and diligent in their work. Obviously, the last thing they want or need is a hit on infrastructure or people. We believe that giving good drivers the ability to see, where at the moment they cannot, is a huge step in the right direction for site safety.

t Nautitech, we see proximity detection as the role of thermal cameras mounted on a shuttle car, and we feel that collision avoidance is the duty and role of the driver.

Benefits of thermal cameras As the thermal camera needs no light source, infrastructure can be seen clearly in total darkness. People can be seen 60 metres away. Trailing cables and other infrastructure are visible, so they can be avoided. What’s more, darkness, dust and steam have no effect on a thermal camera. Where are they being used? Nautitech’s thermal cameras are being used on shuttle cars, shearers, and continuous miners, as well as monitoring roof supports, with conveyor monitoring being developed. The cameras housing is very flexible, with up to eight alternatives, including: • • •

A BIT OF HISTORY... In 1839 in France, Louis Daguerre treated a silver-plated sheet of copper with iodine vapour to give it a coating of light-sensitive silver iodide. The image was developed by mercury vapour and fixed with a strong solution of ordinary salt. In 1840, Henry Fox Talbot perfected a different process, the calotype, in England. Both used cameras with a sensitised plate or sheet of paper placed in front of the viewing screen to record the image. Focusing was generally via sliding boxes. Clearly, cameras have come a long way. n

FATIGUE I

1. Drilling Rotary hammer and combi-hammer drilling over long periods causes fatigue because your hand and arm muscles tire, leaving you at risk of the tool dangerously rotating in your hand. In mines, because you’re dealing with a range of different rock types, textures and densities, the first step is to make sure you have the correct equipment for the job. In terms of size, bigger isn’t necessarily better, especially when you’re performing a repetitive task over many hours. Exercising caution is a necessity when using bigger tools, as there are higher levels of risks involved. When choosing a drill, the biggest mistake people make is looking at the tool’s weight class, as opposed to the impact energy of the equipment. The weight class will only be relevant if you’re working in a downward orientation (floor). If you’re drilling into a wall or ceiling, the weight class is insignificant. Another misconception is that the harder you push the drill, the better it’s going to work. Drilling relies on the impact energy and how effectively that’s transferred from the tool to the end of the drill bit. Higher quality tools will have a higher energy impact, making them easier and safer to use. When drilling into concrete or rock, the dust generated can cause a long list of issues, from asthma and breathing difficulties to sinus infections and cancer. Although it’s strongly recommended you wear a mask whenever working with concrete, masks only

2. Demolition If you’ve been in the industry for a while, you’ll be familiar with the painful white-knuckle syndrome that comes from long-term use of vibrating machines. This disease affects the nerves, joints, blood vessels and muscles in the fingers and hands, and causes numbness, change of skin colour and loss of strength. In extreme cases it can lead to fingers being amputated. To minimise this, switch to tools that have Active Vibration Reduction (AVR) technology. This technology reduces the vibration caused by the pneumatic hammering action during operation, by separating the handle of the tool from the body of the tool. 3. Anchoring Anchoring is another repetitive task and many of the miners I’ve dealt with haven’t had formalised training for anchor installation. Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) is a result of muscle fatigue and can come from the constant pulling of the dispensing tool trigger, which puts unnecessary strain on the operator. Opting for battery-powered technology will completely eliminate the risk of this and although these are sometimes considered a “luxury” onsite, they reduce injuries, increase productivity and reduce wastage because you pre-measure the amount of chemical required.

FIGHTING FIT FRONT PLANK VS SIT-UPS: We were taught to do sit-ups at school and usually the kid who did the most was praised for how many they could do. They still use the sit-up test in many schools, as do personal trainers, gym instructors and average Joes working out at home. But have you ever wondered why you have a painful back after doing sit-ups? The routine is now out of favour because it is harmful for the back. We all thought sit-ups or crunches (sounds harder) meant tighter abs and a six pack, while holding a static movement, such as a front plank, was merely just holding your body and far too easy. These days planks – exercises in which you assume a position and hold it – are the gold standard for working out your core, while classic sit-ups and crunches have fallen out of favour.

FRONT PLANK

The front plank recruits a balance of muscles on the front, sides, and back of the body, versus the sit-up, which targets just a few muscles. By pushing the natural curve of your lower back into a hard floor during a sit-up, you are literally changing the natural shape of your spine and asking your muscles to lift your upper torso. Your hip flexors and probably your neck flexors will do all the pulling just to get your chest off the ground, which won’t work your core muscles.

By: Steve Roberts

The core muscles include your abdominal muscles, back muscles and the muscles around the pelvis. Their structure (flat and straplike) responds well to no movement (isometric contractions), whereas round muscles respond well to lengthening and shortening (isotonic contraction), such as performing a bicep curl.

WORKOUT BEST FOR: People who need to improve core muscle development and strength, injury management and prevention. As well as those who suffer from a sore back and need to improve their posture. EQUIPMENT: Bodyweight and stop watch. Weighted vest, backpack or weight plate (optional). FRONT PLANK WORKOUT: 1) Place your mat or towel on the floor. Your body will need to extend to almost its full length. 2) Get down on all fours. Bend your elbows so that your upper body is being supported by your forearms. Your hands should be relaxed with palms down.

3) Extend your legs backward. They should be at their full length. You head should be level with your neck and shoulders. You will be looking at the floor. 4) Raise your lower body by bending your toes and holding yourself up. Your upper body should be supported by your forearms. This creates the plank. 5) Tighten your abs. Hold the pose for as long as you can until you feel fatigued. If you feel yourself becoming shaky, check that your abs are still tightened. This pose helps strengthen your core muscles. Caution: Do not allow the spine to extend past the neutral position, unless otherwise specified by an exercise professional.

The core-region muscles contribute to spine stability in a variety of postures, providing the ability to flex, side bend and rotate the trunk. Many Activities of Daily Living (ADL), as well as sports and recreational activities, call on your muscles to work together, not in isolation. Incorporating other major exercises – such as deadlifts, squats and side-planks – will improve your body’s functional (practical) strength. Remember, your core goes far beyond your abdominal muscles and is not improved in isolation. Your core needs to work, just like your chest, back and legs.

FRONT PLANK

CHALLENGE

The progression each day is five seconds. If you increase the duration each day, you will be challengeing your core muscles at each attempt. The program requires you to attempt the challenge for one set only. If you do one set until failure, you will not need to do a second or third set, as you will be fatiguing your muscles. If, however, you find bodyweight boring, I strongly recommend adding load using a weight vest, weight plate or backpack. Use the same load for the duration of the 12-days. SAMPLE: Here is a sample program for a challenger who starts off the program at 20 seconds on day one. Each day she or he will do five seconds extra and by day 14, they will have reached 85 seconds and increased their core strength in the process. Front Plank Challenge Calendar for 20 seconds starter

At Mining Family Matters, we believe strong relationships are a vital part of preventing stress, anxiety and depression.”

Some simple strategies suggested by Mining Family Matters’ psychologist Angie Willcocks for strengthening relationships and thus mental health include: 1. Being honest about how you’re feeling and tackling problems as a team. Many issues that arise are symptoms of the FIFO lifestyle, rather than relationship problems. 2. Setting shared goals. 3. Not assuming that your life is tougher than your partner’s. Life is not a competition – you’re both exhausted. 4. Keeping the lines of communication open when you’re apart. And, if you don't feel like talking, explain why in a loving way. 5. Getting financial advice to ensure wages are saved and invested wisely, instead of being trapped by large debt. 6. Exercising regularly. It will improve the health of both body and mind. “Good mental health isn't about feeling happy every day of our lives,” Willcocks says. “It’s normal to occasionally feel down or worried. The ups and downs of life bring ups and downs in mood as well, and this is definitely true for those who work away – or for those whose partner works away. Each and every one of us should take responsibility for our own mental health.” Mining Family Matters has joined forces with Wesley LifeForce to provide suicide prevention workshops for the mining industry. “With mental health problems and suicide becoming a growing concern for many Australian industries – including mining and resources – we’re delighted to be working with Wesley LifeForce in this important area,” Alicia said. “MFM is focused on providing professional advice and simple strategies aimed at keeping mining relationships strong and families healthy.” See www.miningfm.com.au for additional strategies to boost emotional resilience.

PERFECT MATCH What’s the secret to boosting your vitamin and mineral absorption by up to 50 per cent? Correct food pairing. By: Belinda Crestani

5. Green tea and lemon Vitamin C-rich lemons help to maximise your body’s ability to absorb catechins – the disease-fighting antioxidant found in green tea. Some of green tea’s compounds, including oxalates, can inhibit iron absorption, but lemons help to reduce that negative effect. Conversely, it’s best to avoid these four food pairings. 1. Bananas and milk

hink you eat a healthy, balanced diet? Well it may come as a surprise to learn that your body may only be absorbing a small percentage of the nutrients you consume. And you are not what you eat; you are what you digest, absorb and metabolise. As well as reducing your nutrient absorption, poor food combinations could be wreaking havoc on your gut and your overall health, crushing your immune system, accelerating the ageing process and leading to weight gain. Conversely, some food pairings can greatly improve your health and wellbeing. This concept is also known as “food synergy”. Research suggests that not only do some of the nutrients in food interact with each other to improve the body’s ability to utilise them, they can also help fight chronic diseases and conditions, such as heart disease, certain cancers, stroke, diabetes and obesity. Try these five perfect food pairs for optimal nutrient absorption and health:

1. Lean meat with broccoli These two are a great combination. Vitamin C (found in citrus fruits and dark-green vegetables) can enhance the body’s absorption of iron (from lean meat, fish and beans) when these are eaten at the same time. 2. Red wine and almonds Enhance your heart health by enjoying red wine and almonds together. Both the

antioxidant resveratrol in red wine and the naturally high levels of vitamin E found in almonds work together to thin the blood and improve blood vessel health.

Ayurveda lists bananas and milk as one of the most toxin-forming pairs. It is thought to create heaviness in the body and slow down the mind. If you enjoy banana smoothies, ensure the banana is very ripe and add some nutmeg to stimulate digestion. 2. Tea and coffee with meals Both tea and coffee contain tannins that can inhibit mineral absorption in the body, so it’s best to avoid drinking either at meal time. 3. Alcohol with meals Alcohol can hamper the absorption of two essential B vitamins: folate and thiamin. So try to avoid drinking with your meal as much as possible. 4. Fruit after a meal If you eat fruit after a meal, the fruit sugar

3. Eggs and cheese The naturally occurring vitamin D in egg yolks optimises the body’s absorption of the heartand bone-promoting calcium in cheese. Sufficient calcium levels also promote neurotransmitter health, while stabilising hormones and reducing weight gain. 4. Tomatoes and avocado To reduce inflammation, eat tomatoes and avocado at the same time. It’s believed that the healthy fat in avocado helps the body absorb more lycopene – the antioxidant

will sit for too long in the stomach (while the body works to digest the meal beforehand) and ferment, which will acidify the rest of the food in your gut. Instead, reach for foods rich in fat, protein and starch (such as nuts or seeds), which can remain in the stomach for a long time and require more digestion.

ensure the delivery of a consistently crisp, light coloured and clean-tasting single-malt range. All Hellyers Road varieties are matured in American Oak timber casks, and our unique Pinot Noir Finish variety, as the name suggests, is finished in casks that previously housed pinot. This particular variety was judged Best New World Whisky at a blind tasting conducted at Whisky Live in Paris in 2013. That was a great honour! We bottle all of our range at 46.2 per cent alcohol volume to ensure optimum flavour, which eradicates the requirement for chill-filtering. The entire range is mashed, distilled and bottled onsite.

WHISKY Who doesn’t enjoy a good drop of whisky? Especially around Christmas and New Year! Mark Littler loves it so much he has made it his life’s work as the master distiller for Hellyers Road in Tasmania - Australia’s largest single-malt whisky distillery. Inflight Publishing spoke with Mark, to find out more about his role and the popular beverage. How did you get into this line of work? My background is in dairy, having completed a Bachelor of Applied Science (Dairy Technology) at Melbourne University. There are strong synergies between diary production and spirit distilling, so when the opportunity arose in 2003 to join Tasmania’s second-largest milk processing company – Betta Milk, which also owns Hellyers Road – I jumped at the opportunity. Since then I have assumed the dual role of Betta Milk general manager and master distiller for Hellyers Road. What’s a typical day like for you? There’s never a dull moment. The whisky component of our business is growing rapidly and currently requires a lot of attention to ensure our production levels meet sales requirements. With growing demand and interest from international markets, a lot of my time is spent corresponding with liquor merchants from France, the UK, Belgium and Italy, not to

mention the growing domestic market. While I oversee the actual distilling operation and am responsible for quality control/product development, this part of the business ticks over due to the excellent systems and wonderful distillery staff we have. All in all our business is built around an ethos of support and teamwork and this has helped grow our brand over the past few years. Tell us about the process of distilling the whisky. Much of our success can be attributed to the ideal climatic conditions Tasmania offers for distilling, and the world-class grain and fresh water we use. Our top-class barley is sourced locally and water is delivered to us courtesy of the winds of the Roaring Forties. Tasmania has forged something of a reputation as the Southern Hemisphere’s “Whisky Isle”, with several distilleries now established around the State. Hellyers Road is the largest of these. We employ a gently crafted process to our distilling, to

Can you explain what single malt means exactly? Single-malt whiskies are widely regarded as being the purest and most traditional form of the spirit. They invariably come from one production source or distillery and are revered for their quality and smoothness – due to the strict use of only one grain type (malted barley) combined with stringent distilling, maturing and vatting processes. Blended whisky is made up of a combination of grains (wheat and malted barley) to deliver a hybrid version of the spirit. Blended whiskies do not usually list their age and are the predominant whisky type used in Ready to Drink (RTD) products, as they are cheaper to produce. How do you pick the best single-malt whisky? Everyone has different tastes. Some like their single malts full-bodied, others like theirs a little smoother. That’s why there are so many different varieties of single malt to choose from. Most whisky lovers like to try to assemble a cross-section of different whisky brands, so they can match whisky with food for example. However, what most single-malt whisky connoisseurs demand is consistency. They want to know that the brand they are buying maintains its taste, nose and colour attributes. Has Hellyers Road released any new whiskies recently? In October this year we released our second aged statement whisky: 12 years. We remain the only Tasmanian distillery to offer aged profile whiskies as part of our core range. The other recent milestone for Hellyers Road has been the release of our first single cask, cask strength (59.4 per cent alc/vol) single malt, The Gorge. It was judged the nation’s second best single malt at the Malt Whisky Society of Australia Awards in August this year. See www.hellyersroaddistillery.com.au/.

SERIOUS STUFF a few seconds to think it over. You never know where that email came from or if the email is redirecting you to a fake site to capture your login credentials. It’s a lot safer to close that email and open up the bank’s website through your own browsing activity to look for an alert or an offer.

sound Thanks to technological advances with web and mobile applications, banking has never been easier or more convenient. But the fact we tend to use human-friendly passwords and easy methods to remember them, creates a unique vulnerability, writes Edward Stachyra.

ndividuals aren’t the only ones susceptible to password leaks. Large corporations and governments are often victims to account hacking too, such as Domino’s Pizza and Adobe software. When large-scale password leaks make headlines, it demonstrates how we are all vulnerable and how vital it is to change our passwords often. It is even better to use additional authentication methods. Credit card information is generally safe while shopping online, due to Payment Card Industry rules, because online merchants are not allowed to store credit card information in clear text on their servers. However, if you were using the same user password credentials across multiple websites and financial institutions, one would never really need access to your card numbers to gain the ability to conduct financial transactions. They could simply hack into one of the other websites you use and steal your password from there. Here are five simple rules to help protect yourself on the web and your mobile devices. 1. Do not use the same password for more than one website. Always use special care with your passwords

that involve financial websites. Do not use the same password you use to login into Facebook, because even those websites are at risk of being compromised. Many studies have confirmed that users of social and online game sites will use the same user credentials as they do for their financial institutions. For example, in 2009 the online gaming site RockYou was compromised with a leak of about 32 million passwords that were being kept in clear text. The leak in itself may not have been the only problem. RockYou account holders should also be concerned about their passwords on other personal accounts. 2. Never trust links in your email. Hyperlinks that arrive in your email can redirect you to where the sender wants you to go. It is the sender’s version of reality for a website, not yours. Make a practice of being distrustful of your email inbox in general. Email phishing attempts can be so well disguised that it can be difficult to tell the difference between phishing and a legitimate email. If you receive an email from your bank to confirm a suspected login activity or unauthorised purchase, give yourself

www.inflightmagazine.com.au

3. Use two-step authentication for websites that offer it. Free email sites such as Gmail and Hotmail offer two-step authentication via SMS/Text, so why not take advantage of it? Two-step authentication requires a second authentication system when logging in from new devices or browsers the site does not recognise. It also provides you with peace of mind, as it’s nearly impossible for someone to hack your email account if you use two-step authentication via SMS/Text. 4. Always set a password on your mobile phone or tablet. Use passwords for all work and personal mobile devices and ensure your children are doing the same. Make sure the person who finds your lost or stolen phone or tablet does not get access to your personal information as well.

5. Install a find-my-phone app on your mobile phone or tablet. Apple’s iPhone and Google’s Android both offer ways to find lost phones and even erase your data remotely if your phone is lost. Apple offers the “Find iPhone App” in the App Store for free. If you use the same iCloud, you will see all of your devices on a map with a single iCloud login. Google offers the Android Device Manager for any device linked to your Google Account. You can use location services to view your devices on Google Maps. You must perform a few extra steps on the Android phone itself to allow Android Device Manager to remotely lock or erase the device.
