emember that Jim Belushi film from a couple of decades ago called Taking Care of Business? Maybe you don’t.

Belushi plays a loveable car thief called Jimmy who happens upon a lost Filofax (note to generation Y – it was a bit like an iPhone but without Angry Birds and Instagram).

Rather than returning it to the owner – a yuppie ad executive called Spencer – Jimmy keeps the oversized diary and takes on Spencer’s identity. Without his Filofax Spencer’s life starts spiralling out of control.

He soon loses his car, his money and eventually his job. Towards the end of the film the two eventually meet and in true Hollywood style end up becoming firm friends. Spencer’s marriage improves, he gets his job back and the two start working together for the same ad agency. The end.

While hardly a cinematic triumph, the

] movie highlights a very real problem that 20-odd years later is a serious threat to us all – identity theft. Jarna Baudinette is on the case to find out more, and what she has discovered has left her a little shaken. If you have any kind of online presence, I urge you to turn the page and find out more.

Our agenda story looks at the shock resignation of Pope Benedict, which has left the Vatican scrambling and victims of abuse at the hands of Catholic priests eager to sue.

If the rainy weather has left you feeling a little drab, turn to this week’s health and beauty section on page 29. As well as the latest on BB, CC and now DD creams, we’ve tracked down some gorgeous peachy tones to get your lips, eyes and cheeks glowing (and hopefully your mood as well).

We also have a special education feature on scholarships – turn to page 37 for more.

PREVIEW If you think identity theft or fraud won’t happen to you, think again.

If you use the internet you are at risk, but there are steps you can take now to protect yourself.

WORDS Jarna Baudinette

P

lenty of people would agree that having their phone or wallet stolen is a stressful experience. Along with the inconvenience of replacing identification and cancelling credit or SIM cards (and the very real danger of losing money in the meantime), the knowledge that a stranger now has access to our personal information gives most of us the creeps.

Even if your phone is password protected and you don’t have your PIN written down in your wallet, it’s likely you carry around plenty of personal details in your pocket or handbag every day, and it’s natural to feel pretty protective of this information.

Or is it? Instances of identity-related crime are on the rise in Australia, and while theft of personal or financial information is something that can happen to even the most vigilant among us, it seems many people are unknowingly exposing themselves to this type of crime every time they use the internet.

Detective Superintendent Brian Hay is head of the Queensland Police Service Fraud and Corporate Crime Division, and says there is no doubt this type of crime is becoming more prevalent.

“I do a lot of public presentations and I often ask how many people in the crowd have had their credit card compromised – to put up their hand if they have,” Hay says.

“Years ago you would get a few hands, whereas now it’s a significant number.

“To those who don’t put up their hands, I say it’s likely you have, but you just don’t

[ 8 ] MY W EEKLY P RE VIE W \ FE B RUARY 22, 20 1 3

realise it yet.”

Criminals commit identity fraud for any number of reasons, including to mask their own identities for criminal purposes, to gain access to information or locations or simply to steal money or assets.

However, Hay says many people are making it easy for criminals to target them by essentially “surrendering [information] to the crooks”, often via social media platforms such as Facebook.

“One of the biggest things is that people have great difficulty transposing their online world to their real world,” Hay says.

Depending on how much information you provide, a personal Facebook page may feature your full name and suburb, your date of birth and details about your family, your workplace and the school or university you attended; often it will also have a few photos of you. And if you don’t carefully control your privacy settings, you can also be posting day-to-day accounts of your activities – where and when you holiday, what your home and car look like, and what times of day you’re usually out and about – without realising it.

Hay likens this to photocopying a dossier of all your private information and handing it out on the street – or worse, in front of a prison. This is something most people wouldn’t dream of doing, however Hay says we often don’t recognise the link between our Facebook or LinkedIn profile and our real, potentially vulnerable lives, because we “haven’t yet processed that connection properly” in our minds.

Lisa Harrison is the director of POMO, M Y W EEK LY PREVIEW.C OM .A U

a creative agency which specialises in digital culture and social media. Harrison says while the need to share information about ourselves is a basic human desire, the convenience of social media has made it easier for us to share on a much bigger scale – and to a wider audience.

“Consequently, more and more people now administer their personal lives online because it’s easy to do,” Harrison says. “Online shopping, social networking, paying bills, contacting local councils and government departments online, are now an everyday part of life.

“It is for this reason that, with the advent of social media, we are seeing many people make the lifestyle choice to share on a daily or hourly basis.”

However, Hay says this type of online sharing often has a price, which is something most of us have never considered in any depth.

“Social media has escalated so quickly, and no one has ever really been educated on it,” he says. “We throw these devices to our children to keep them occupied, and we’ve only ever spoken about what [they] can do – no one has spoken on how to do it safely. Safety and security has always been an afterthought, and we’ve got to change that.”

He says he often compares the internet to the Pacific Highway, as each platform has hundreds of thousands of people travelling on it each day. However, while the highway can be a dangerous place, the difference is that drivers go through extensive training to obtain a licence – whereas with the internet, there is very little preparation to reduce the risk.

“That’s what it’s really about, mitigating risk,” Hay says.

“Every time you jump in your car and go for a drive you’re taking a risk, but you have education, training and experience that allows you to better manage that risk. The better prepared you are, the better the chance it’s going to be a visit [to a website] without consequences.”

Hay is quick to point out that he’s not anti-internet, but argues there is reason for people to be alarmed.

“I’m a big fan of the internet, I use it every day – I use it for my banking, for online purchases. The internet’s a great place,” he says. “But you’ve got to go into it with your eyes wide open, not closed. Your behaviour, to a large extent, determines the level of threat you might be facing.

FAST FACTS The Australia Bureau of Statistics Personal Fraud Survey 2010-2011

1.2 million Australians aged over 15 had been a victim of personal

estimated

fraud in the 12 months prior – that’s

6.7% of the population, up

from 5% in 2007.

44,700 Australians were victims of identity

514,500

theft; had fallen victim to a scam

662,000

While the need to share information about ourselves is a basic human desire, the convenience of social media has made it easier for us to share on a much bigger scale

Lisa Harrison, director of creative agency POMO

For social networkers, this means carefully considering the information you post online. Never reveal too many details about your personal life (for example, there’s no reason your profile needs to display your date of birth) and also make sure you’re not posting photos that are geotagged, or embedded with your physical location when the photo was taken (this means turning off the location settings on your phone’s camera: you can Google this for instructions).

There is software capable of identifying the location a photo was taken, and there have been cases where geotagged photos have been used to identify cars, cash and items of jewellery that were later stolen.

Read up on each platform’s privacy settings and if you’re confused, seek out social media professionals who often provide seminars and instructional videos on how to manage your information. Also be mindful of how you’re sharing other people’s information online – another aspect of what Harrison calls the “price of involvement” of social media – and respect their wishes for some things, such as photos of themselves or their children, to be kept private.

It’s not only criminals we need to be mindful of. Large corporations are also gathering our information, often for legitimate purposes but also to target us for marketing or sales.

“What people need to keep in mind is, although organisations that collect and use your information have responsibilities to protect it, anybody can be targeted by identity thieves,” Harrison says. “However, you can take various precautions to protect yourself from identity fraud or the misuse of your information, or to ensure that your privacy is respected in the way you would want.” continued over >

<from previous page “It’s nonsensical to consider the words ‘privacy’ and ‘internet’ in the same sentence,” Hay adds. “Privacy is a redundant notion when you’re talking about the cyber world, and the way we interact when we’re there.

“So it’s about risk management: understanding there’s no privacy on the internet, going into it with our eyes open and managing our data so we don’t expose ourselves.”

PROTECT YOURSELF CREDIT CARDS & FINANCIAL INFORMATION If you use a credit card online or overseas, have multiple cards with smaller limits, instead of one big one. Use one solely for travelling, one for online purchases, and one for day-to-day expenses. “That way if one is compromised you’re not out of business – you can still function,” Hay says.

Seek to verify the authenticity of any emails before opening or responding to them, and never give anyone your personal or financial details as a consequence of an unsolicited email or phone call – even someone who claims to work for your bank. Also, never access your bank accounts on public computers, as you can’t be sure how secure these are.

Tips to avoid oversharing

COMPUTERS Make sure you have up-to-date software (get rid of that old Windows 98 operating system), a firewall, good anti-virus protection and a password-protected wireless connection (WPA2 Encryption), if you use one. If you don’t know what any of this means, get a local computer specialist to set it up for you, and have your computer serviced regularly.

Hay also says the ‘behaviour’ of a computer is important. “Don’t do financial transactions on a computer you let your children or grandchildren play gaming sites on,” he says. “If you’re using a computer for sensitive financial transactions then what we call the behaviour of that computer is quite critical – [hackers] are often getting into computers through gamers.”

MOBILE PHONES A smart phone is basically a mobile computer, “so ’dumb phones’ were much safer”, Hay says. Turn off the location settings in your phone’s camera, look into anti-virus software for your phone and be careful when downloading apps or programs, especially if you use an Android – these days many apps are designed purely as a back door into your device, which can hold all kinds of sensitive personal, professional or financial information you don’t want in the hands of strangers.

Think you don’t overshare on Facebook?

You’ll think again after watching this Belgian-made community awareness video, which highlights how much personal and f nancial information we give to strangers online. Head to youtube.com and type in ‘amazing mind reader reveals his gift’.

Here’s a handy tip to manage your Facebook information – bring up your timeline and to the very right of the page (in line with your prof le picture and name) you’ll see a blue drop-down arrow. Click on this and select ‘View as…’, and a black box should appear at the top of your page. This lets you see what your prof le looks like to friends or members of the public. If you’re sharing more than you’d like to, change your privacy settings to protect your personal information.

SCIENTIST’S SUCCESS STORY Peregian-based entrepreneur Ben Starr is on the up and up with his business continuing to expand.

The 34-year-old scientist is managing director of O2 Environment + Engineering, an award-winning business he cofounded in 2009.

Since then it has grown to include offices in Brisbane and Hanoi, Vietnam.

The company was listed as one of Australia’s 100 fastest-growing start-up companies in the 2012 BRW Fast Starters list.

The University of the Sunshine Coast science graduate completed his EMBA at the university last year.

“USC’s EMBA program provided a solid base in each of the aspects needed to effectively manage a business,” Starr says.

Since he began trading, he has started two successful subsidiary companies, O2 Ecology and a product company.

“The O2 group of companies now employs 25 full-time staff and a

number of part-time and contract staff,” he says.

Starr is a certified practitioner in erosion and sediment control and his technical expertise is focused on soil and water management.

He has since referred other potential students to the university’s EMBA program, including his employee Kyle Robson.

“Kyle is a key staff member who has been identified as a key candidate to take on an executive role with our expanding group of companies in the coming years,” Starr says.

Flashing school lights improve student safety Two Coast schools have had flashing lights installed as part of a state government program to improve the safety of school children.

Buderim Mountain and Chevallum State Schools were among the 15 Queensland schools to be included in the latest rollout of the program.

Transport and Main Roads Minister Scott Emerson says the $10 million school safety program is on track to roll out flashing school lights to 300 schools over four years.

The decision to install flashing lights instead of Vehicle Activated Signs follows a study showing them to be more reliable, as they are always visible.

AUSSIE INVENTION TO CHANGE FARMING

T

wo Aussie blokes tinkering in a back shed have found a way to make hay while the sun doesn’t shine, and it may change the future of farming.

Queenslanders Terry Colless and Falvio Raccanello can grow livestock feed without soil, sunlight, chemicals, fertilisers or farm machinery.

They’ve created Fodder Solution Systems, containers where seedlings are grown on vertically stacked trays under lights in an artificial climate.

It’s a simple hydroponic set-up that looks like a fridge.

“Just plug in the garden hose, plug the power in and the controller looks after the rest,” a softly-spoken Mr Colless told AAP. “We’re taking the weather out of farming.”

The smallest model – the size of a double doored fridge – produces 50 kilograms of fodder a day. That’s enough to feed five cows.

The systems can also grow multiple types of seedlings at once and can be driven around on trucks.

They first appeared in 2000 and aren’t well-known in Australia, but

AAP

No Salesmen! No Hype!

Falvio Roccanello the co-creater of Fodder Solutions unloads grain seedlings from his system. the creators are now world celebrities in farming circles.

Fodder Solution machines are built and sold in 11 countries including the US, India, Japan, Turkey, South Africa and even Mongolia.

“We do it at home and no one notices, then we take it overseas and it goes gangbusters,” Mr Colless said.

“I guess because farming land is under so much population pressure.

“A Chinese company just emailed me a link to an article about the system asking if they can purchase the rights for it.”

Fodder Solutions are about to roll out a new model with LED lights and solar power.

Facts about the australian invention that could change the future of farming: • Fodder Solutions can grow livestock feed without soil, sunlight, chemicals, fertilisers or farm machinery.

• They are containers that look like fridges which grow seedlings on vertically stacked trays under lights in an artif cial climate.

• They require only a garden hose and a power source to operate, but new versions will be solar powered.

• The smallest model, which is the size of a large two-door fridge, can grow 50 kilograms of fodder a day; the largest can grow 4.5 tonnes a day • Fodder Solutions are built and sold in 11 countries and international demand is booming.

ONDON – It’s a skinny girl’s world in fashion, where the thin, androgynous look always wins out. But an alternative to London Fashion Week has celebrated the larger lady and all her curves.

The first Official British Plus-Size Fashion Weekend in Shoreditch, an area in London’s east beloved of hipsters and music fans, saw elegantly-dressed women browsing racks of clothes designed for European size 40 (Australian size 14) and upwards.

Wearing skirts, shorts or bikinis, the women were greeted with enthusiastic applause on the catwalk.

While many of the models could only be described as voluptuous, some of the clothes on offer were not what many people think of as plus-sized.

Hayley, a 24-year-old model who wears European size 42 (Australian size 16), berated the industry for the way it categorised women.

“I think even some agencies these days call girls that are UK size 10

DON’T MISS OUT!

BLINDS, SHUTTERS & AWNINGS (Australian size 12) plus size.

That’s just crazy.

“I think that plus size is the wrong word. I think a curvy model would be a better word to describe me and plus size is not necessarily the nicest expression.”

Thirteen designers attended the fashion weekend, but the number was dwarfed by the almost 80 labels showing across town at the official London Fashion Week, where skinny girls still reign supreme.

UK: Man ‘speaks’ again using iPad A British man who was left brain-damaged and paralysed after a vicious attack has been able to communicate for the first time in 20 years with the use of an iPad. Kevin Beverley was left severely injured after an unprovoked attack two decades ago.; he could only communicate by making noises and gestures. But now, through the use of an iPad, his life has been transformed as he is able to speak to his family and carers.

The 55-year-old has been able to tell carers about his likes and dislikes as well as ask for a cup of tea. He does this by touching the screen to select the relevant letters to form words, and at the end of the first day he typed this message: “It is so good to be able to speak again.”

THE POPE

RESIGNS PREVIEW What will become of Pope Benedict XVI after retirement? Will he end his days in peace, or stand trial for the alleged abuses of the Catholic Church?

WORDS AAP IMAGES AAP

A

s Pope Benedict XVI ponders life after the papacy, the Vatican is busily pondering something more pressing: the next three weeks and beyond.

A retiring Pope is almost unheard of.

Celestine V was the last to do so, in 1294, after serving for less than a year. Helpfully, he was also the one to issue the decree that Popes could retire.

Since then, Popes have died in office. The job has of late been considered such a lifetime vocation that, despite the Pope’s increasing frailty, many Catholics on Monday still could not countenance the idea of a retiring Pope.

“It’s a kind of double duty,” says Rainer Kampling, of the Catholic Theology Department of Berlin’s Free University.

“He’s taking advantage of the empowerment of the Pope in order to step down as Pope.”

Complicating matters is the season of Lent, which kicked off last week and leads

into the high feast of Easter on March 31.

That means what is traditionally one of the busiest times of the year for the church will be unfolding against a storm of the unexpected.

Pope Benedict is slated to keep a quiet schedule in the coming weeks after appearing before thousands of believers from his window in St Peter’s Square last weekend. Things will start to get tricky on February 28, when he retires at 8pm.

Since there is no living memory of a retiring Pope, no one is really sure what the retirement ceremony should entail, says Kampling. And the Vatican only has a short time to sort the question out, since Pope Benedict kept the decision so secret.

“What surprised me is that he only allowed a very short time,” says Christian Weisner of the German Catholic advocacy group We Are Church. He noted, for example, that Dutch Queen Beatrix announced her resignation in January and

Pope may now be open to prosecution Australian human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson says Pope Benedict’s resignation could expose him to lawsuits from victims of paedophile priests.

Robertson, writing in UK newspaper the Independent last week, argued the Pope’s resignation is “merely expedient” as he’d become too old to cope in the job.

“It would have been both astonishing and courageous, a few years ago, had it been offered in atonement for the atrocity to which he had for 30 years turned a blind eye – the rape, buggery and molestation of tens of thousands of small boys in priestly care,” writes the author of The Case of The Pope: Vatican Accountability for Human Rights Abuse.

Robertson, based in London, argues the Pope’s “command responsibility” goes back to 1981 when, then a cardinal, he was appointed head of the Vatican body that disciplines errant priests.

Robertson notes as a head of state Pope Benedict has absolute immunity from legal action, but that won’t remain when he retires.

“There are many victims of priests permitted by Cardinal Ratzinger to stay in holy orders after their propensity to molest was known and they would like to sue the ex-Pope for damages for negligence,” the lawyer states.

“If he steps outside the Vatican a court may rule that they have a case.”

ore than 150 people took part in two information sessions providing an update on the Sunshine Coast University Hospital and surrounding developments last week.

The information sessions were hosted by ANZ to keep locals updated on the Kawana project and the various opportunities available to them. Attendees included small business owners, developers, accountants and solicitors.

“The opening of this new development presents a great opportunity for local Sunshine Coast businesses – particularly if they can think outside the square and adapt their businesses to capitalise on the opportunities,” says ANZ district executive Darrell Edwards.

“But people need to think about it, start planning and register now on ICN. Smaller businesses that don’t have a formal business plan should look into this right away. ANZ can help people prepare for both the challenges and the potential contracts that will be on offer.”

Edwards also spoke at the seminars about risk management and finance readiness, and says businesses need to be talking to their advisors now to ensure they are in a position to take advantage of these opportunities. Presentations were also made by representatives from Sunshine Coast Council, Lend Lease and Stockland.

Lend Lease recently released more than 230 works tender packages covering a range of services and supplies.

Division 3 councillor Peter Cox congratulated Lend

“The packages have now been broken down so that even smaller Sunshine Coast businesses will have opportunities, however, local businesses must first register on the ICN Gateway to have any chance.

“We keep hearing people say that this project is too big or we’re too small but there are packages as small as $30,000 available.”

Lend Lease project director Mark Buckle says works on carpark two will begin at the end of the month and duplication of Kawana Way will start in mid April.

Is your business registered for work on the Sunshine Coast University Hospital site yet?

Lend Lease has released 230 works tender packages and they are broken into small packages to maximise the opportunities for Sunshine Coast businesses.

traditionally quite weak, although this is not always the case. However the old adage of ‘sell in May and go away’ is at the forefront of many investors’ minds.

What is driving this market?

Firstly there is the ‘weight of money’ argument. As funds come out of cash and term deposits, the power of money hitting the market pushes prices up. This can be a temporary phenomenon and stocks will typically revert to long term valuations.

An additional driver has been stocks recovering from very low valuations. From 2009 onwards Australian shares have been quite cheap compared to historical standards. With global risk fading somewhat, investors have been happy to acquire undervalued shares such as Telstra. It traded under $3 at one stage and is now trading at above $4.50 some two years later, and during this time dividends have been in the order of 10 per cent including franking.

The next stage that we have yet to experience is strengthening profits.

This profit reporting season to date has not been disappointing, but neither have we seen many companies forecasting increasing profits. It is this next stage of increasing corporate profitability that could push the market higher.

Conversely, if companies fail to deliver, we could again stagnate in that 4500 to 5000 point range.

It is entirely possible that this market could forge a lot higher as the desperate hunt for income continues.

Financials and high yield stocks could well be driven higher by our ageing population as they struggle to maintain income in retirement. As global economies such as the US, China and Japan recover, it is plausible to make a case for continued strength. A change of government could also be positive for the markets.

No matter what market you’re in, the ‘trend is your friend’ and at the moment the trend is positive. For now we are happy to rebalance portfolios back to target weights, trim a few profits here and there. However one must remain vigilant in case current strength does not continue.

MAKE-UP SEXY FOR AUTUMN

AAP

N

apoleon Perdis has one word to describe the autumn look for make-up – “sexy”. The words “smouldering”, “moody” and “broody” also pepper his conversation.

The Aussie make-up guru has returned to a richer, deeper colour palette this season, he says.

“This season’s look is going to be sexy. It’s inspired by my Year of the Water Snake palette – the snake is sexy, it slithers, it’s moody – there’s a strength to the eyes,” he says.

Creating a new look for the next season is not difficult.

“You only need to do a couple of things,” Perdis tells AAP. “You can do a lipstick and a mascara update and you are completely changing your look.

“If you put on a different colour lipstick – a full intense lipstick – it’s actually more of a change than a change of outfit.”

When it comes to eyes, Perdis has created two modern yet wearable eye statements for

Australian model Samantha Harris in new season Napoleon Perdis make-up autumn: a one-dimensional metallic in shades of grey and a deep emerald, and a neutral with punch.

“The one commonality is in the depth of the fusing and blending for each eye look. I’m calling it the `2013 smokey eye’. It’s not about precision but more about sheer washes of colour across the whole lid to create an intensity and moody intrigue. It’s a little bit broody, definitely sexy and perfect for the new season ahead.”

Cheeks are softly contoured, skin is fresh and clean, lips are neutral.

“Add a lash and you will look fab,” he says. “Fluttery will get you everywhere.”

The best way to care for your dentures According to Dr David Lough at North Coast Denture Clinic, about 15 per cent of Australians wear one or two removable dentures, and it’s important to care for them properly.

“Just as natural teeth build up tartar so can dentures,” he says. “We can remove the tartar and some stubborn stains with our special polishing machine.

“We suggest having your mouth checked every 12 months to ensure you have healthy gums and a well fitting denture.

“Gums have a tendency to change shape as you age and so the longer the denture is worn, the looser it will become.

“We suggest relining your dentures every two years. Relining means that your prosthetists will remove some plastic from your denture and build it up again with more material so that it is a snugger fit.”

Dr Lough offers the following tips for keeping dentures in top shape:

• Brush your dentures with a soft denture brush twice a day as you would natural teeth. This will help reduce inflammation, bacteria and infection of the gums.

• Lightly massage your gums regularly with a brush to stimulate blood flow. Rinsing your mouth in salt water daily will keep your gums healthy.

• Only wash your dentures with a mild hand soap or dishwashing liquid, never with toothpaste as it has an abrasive and will scratch them.

• Soak your dentures once a week for 30 minutes in water and a denture cleanser.

Rinse first to remove any food.

The Thermage Face The procedure can help smooth and tighten your skin for an overall naturally younger looking appearance without surgery or injections.

What kind of results should I expect?

Everyone can expect some collagen tightening.

Many patients have seen • Smoother, tighter skin with less sagging • Redefined contours along the jaw line and under the chin • Softening of wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth, eyes and forehead • Tightening the saggy skin under the chin

How long will the results last?

The effects continue to improve for up to six months following a single treatment. Results can last for years depending on your skin condition and natural aging process.

How long before I can return to my normal activities?

There’s no special care needed after the procedure and most patients return to their regular activities immediately following treatment.

After taking antidepressants for 20 years, she was shocked to find there was a cause for her depression that was never found. Within weeks she was excited, happy, motivated and amazed to get her life back.

When she f rst began antidepressants, she felt a lack of interest in life, low mood, irritability, anger, anxiety and insomnia. Exhaustion then caused more anger and irritability. With a young family, the strain was too much, so she went to her GP and began antidepressants, which worked well, but needed to be maintained for a normal life.

When I f rst saw her, she had responded to an ad about depression and was curious about coming off her antidepressants. After asking a few questions, and scanning her brain and body for inf ammation, infection, hormone and brain chemical levels, it was clear what the causes were.

Nothing traumatic had happened during the time the depression began, she was relaxed and happy as she had returned from an overseas holiday. This always rings alarm bells, as there are bacteria in water overseas that can cause depression, so we organised a bowel test. We also found that when she was moody, it f uctuated, with bouts of sleepiness, and fogginess throughout the day. This usually indicates a relationship with food, as the

Bamboo UV+ Vibrant Colour Conditioner $24, Blonde Rumour

symptoms start between meals, f rst irritability and fogginess, then sleepiness, then back to normal.

When food does not agree with you, it can cause depression, anxiety, irritability, insomnia and low thyroid function. The liver detoxif es the offending food, by using enzymes which are also involved in making serotonin in the brain. This results in the brain under-functioning leading to low moods. One of these enzymes is responsible for producing melatonin for sleep, so insomnia follows. The thyroid drops in function during a food reaction. In women this will cause the progesterone to drop, which creates an oestrogen dominance problem leading to PMS, menopausal symptoms, and more hormonal imbalances including severe mood swings.

We found with testing she had a few offending foods she was eating regularly, and when we received the results from her gut test found she also had a bacterial overgrowth affecting the brain. After treating these, starting a good diet, and raising serotonin, melatonin, and dopamine naturally, she was feeling amazing within weeks.

Depression and other mood disorders affect one in four Australians. It is not a disease that has unknown cause, like many believe, and can be resolved quickly. If you would like to know more, call the centre and arrange a free half hour consultation, or view the webinar “7 Steps to Freedom from Anxiety & Depression” at www.advancedwellness.com.au. A webinar is simply a seminar that you can see on the internet.

BB CREAMS ARE SO LAST YEAR – NOW IT’S CC AND DD CREAMS BB creams were big news in 2012.

Priceline alone stocks 25 different BB creams and the trend looks set to continue in 2013. However, this year will also see the rise of CC and DD creams.

It’s as if someone has taken bra sizes and applied them to beauty products. But while bras have only one important job to do, these creams are amazing multitaskers.

The huge rise in popularity of BB creams is due to the need for busy consumers to simplify their beauty routines, and all-in-one products fit the bill perfectly.

So, what do all the letters stand for? BB stands for blemish balm, blemish base or beauty balm, CC stands for complete correction or colour control and DD stands for daily defence.

BB creams are like tinted moisturisers but also contain an SPF, make-up primer and colour correction. CC creams have all the

benefits of a BB cream, with added nourishing ingredients, more effective skin coverage than a tinted moisturiser, and a higher SPF. CC creams are lighter in texture than BB creams with a less oily finish – the ultimate aim being a natural and flawless complexion.

While CC creams haven’t yet hit the Australian market, it won’t be long. Clinique and L’Oréal Paris have brought out CC creams that are selling well overseas. They say their CC creams aim to correct the complexion, hydrate and protect the skin, and perfect blemishes.

DD creams take things up another notch, being very heavy duty body and foot creams that are marketed as daily defence products.

If you haven’t yet caught onto the BB craze and don’t know where to start, here are five of the best BB creams and two of the newest CC creams you can look forward to trying in 2013:

CHIA SEED & ALMOND MEAL BREAD PREVIEW Chia seeds are not only an exceptionally versatile cooking ingredient, they are high in omega-3 fatty acids, protein and fibre. If you’re looking for a yummy gluten-free bread to make, try this from Tania Hubbard, author of Gluten Free, Grain Free.

SHOPPING LIST METHOD • 1 cup almond meal • 2 tbsp chia seeds • 30 mls water • ¾ cup arrowroot* (sifted) • 1 tsp bicarb/baking soda (sifted) • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar • 3 eggs • a good pinch of salt Note: * You may substitute arrowroot for tapioca if you like.

• Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius.

• Soak chia seed in water while preparing dry mix. Stir to make sure seeds are in the water.

• Sift arrowroot and bicarb (baking soda) into bowl.

• Add almond meal and salt and mix well.

• Use a whisk to combine the dry ingredients to help break up lumps and distribute ingredients evenly.

• Add eggs, soaked chia seeds and apple cider vinegar.

• Combine everything well until there are no lumps (about 1 minute of whisking).

• Don’t be tempted to add any liquid – the mix is meant to be thick.

• Pour mix into a baking tin lined with non-stick baking paper or a silicon bread mould lightly oiled with olive oil. I used a spring form cake tin.

• Bake for 25 minutes until the bread is firm to the touch and bounces back when lightly pressed. The top will be golden in colour and firm to the touch.

• Remove bread from the oven and turn out onto a cooling rack.

• Adjust cooking time to 45-50 minutes if cooking a double mix (large loaf).

Two-hour seminar to address how food additives affect our kids If you’d love to know what nasty chemicals and numbers you should avoid feeding your child, you might want to go to Food for a Happy and Calm Household, a two-hour seminar to be held on Wednesday March 6 at 7pm at Maroochydore Sands Tavern.

Australia has one of the highest rates of asthma in the world yet Australians unwittingly consume five kilograms of food additives each year, and over 60

food additives known to trigger or exacerbate asthma attacks in sufferers.

During Food for a Happy and Calm Household, home economist and Queensland’s Additive Alert Community Talks presenter Louise D’Allura will help Sunshine Coast mums, dads, grandparents and educators discover which food additives are linked to health, learning and behaviour problems in children (including asthma and hyperactivity),

how to interpret food labels and identify which additives are worth avoiding.

Tickets are $20 and attendees will receive a handy Additives to Avoid card to make shopping easier. Bookings are essential and can be made online to take advantage of the online discount (three tickets for $49.50). To book, visit mealplanningyourway.com.

For more on avoiding food additives, call Louise D’Allura on 0408 723 559.

EBB WATERFRONT RESTAURANT

PREVIEW Hot 91.1 FM breakfast host Todd Widdicombe gives his opinion on the best brews of the week.

I

t’s a well-known fact that all us blokes ever really hear is blah blah blah FOOD blah blah blah SEX blah blah blah BEER. We’re simple creatures and it should never be underestimated how much pleasure, how much comfort and guidance, how much enlightenment, us lads can get from a well-made taco and a cold, cold beer.

This week we raise a celebratory cold one to the good people at James Squire Malt Shovel Brewery.

Now normally, I’m all over the JS range of beers like stink on a sumo wrestler. I’m a massive fan of the Chancer Golden Ale, the One Fifty Lashes Pale is an absolute ripper and the Sundown Lager, the Four Wives Pilsner and the Nine Tales Amber are all ace.

In fact, the only Jimmy Squire beer I’d never tried is the Stow Away IPA. Until now. First up, it should be said that I’m not the greatest fan of Indian Pale Ales. I will drink one, no drama cane farmer, but it’s not my first port of call at the beer fridge.

The Stow Away stays ay ys true to the traditional IPA recipe and it has a strong, sharp, way too bitter finish for me.

I’m not saying it’s a bad beer – my mate Al reckons it’s a real treat; it’s just not my bag. If you love an IPA, invest in the Stow Away this weekend. The James Squire team don’t make a dud beer, but I guess like in every good family, there’s always one member you’re not sure you want to invite to Christmas. I give the James Squire Stow Away IPA 3 outta 5 thumbs up.

HAVE FUN WITH MIXED AFL

K

awana Park Eagles Junior AFL Club has launched its Cadbury AFL 9s season for 2013 and is looking for more players to take part in the mixed Wednesday night competition.

While AFL players are renowned for their athleticism, competition coordinator Debbie Linton says the 9s games are “much easier on the body” than a traditional match, with a strong focus on the fun, social aspects of the sport.

“It’s very similar to an under 12s game,” Linton says. “It’s played on an under-12 sized field, and being a non-contact sport there’s no tackle involved.”

You can join the league with a group of friends or as an individual, and Linton says it’s no problem if you’ve never played AFL before.

“You can learn as you go – we tend to place [new players] in a team and we’re happy to run with them for the first couple of matches,” she says. “The umpires are also very good in that regard, and they make sure everyone knows the rules.”

The season kicked off on February 6 with a come-and-try night, which will be followed by seven weekly games, then a semi-final and final; there will also be two more seasons later in the year. The cost is roughly $10 per game (kids aged 12 to 15 pay $5 per game). All proceeds raised through the 9s competition go to the local Kawana junior AFL club.

SCHOLARSHIPS: KEYS TO SUCCESS

K

ids spend a lot of time at school, so for many Sunshine Coast parents the decision as to which school their child will attend is one of the most important choices they will make.

As a parent you want to be sure your child’s educational facility will offer a fun, supportive learning environment and will adequately prepare them for their chosen study or career path.

However, there are also financial questions to consider. Children attend school for many years,

and it’s natural to want to provide your child with the best quality education you can afford.

The Sunshine Coast is home to some of the state’s finest schools and many offer a range of scholarships to assist families with educational costs, and to nurture students in the pursuit of excellence in their chosen fields. Scholarships vary from school to school but can include academic, music, art, leadership or sporting scholarships, as well as general excellence or ‘all-rounder’ awards.

Scholarships are generally open to secondary

A D V E R T I S I N G F E AT U R E ]

school students. Some are offered for particular year levels only, while others are awarded for the duration of a student’s schooling. Scholarships typically offer a discount on tuition fees (for example 50 per cent), however some schools also offer scholarships for the full tuition amount (levies and other fees, such as uniform and book costs, are usually still payable).

Schools use different academic testing authorities (such as Edutest or ACER) to award scholarships, and it is important to check with the individual schools regarding testing requirements. Some scholarships require students to sit an academic test; others may not have this requirement but will involve a face-to-face interview with the student or a portfolio detailing achievements, recent school reports and personal references.

Many Sunshine Coast schools are conducting their scholarship testing and awarding scholarships for 2014 at this time of year, so visit each school’s website and contact the registrar for more information.

While scholarships offer a clear financial benefit to students and their parents, they also benefit the wider school community: scholarship programs develop and nurture student talent, and in turn the recipients set fine examples for their fellow students to aspire to. continued over>

Caloundra City Private School Caloundra City Private School is an award winning, Kindergarten to Year 12, non-denominational, co-educational School set in beautiful surroundings at Pelican Waters.

The School prides itself on strong academic results with the most recent NAPLAN results for Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 placing Caloundra City Private School in the top 10% of Queensland schools and in the top 20% of Australian schools.

In a nurturing and caring community, students are given a level of attention they deserve and achieve to the very best of their ability.

Here are some testimonials from, our students.

One Year 4 student, Lauren, puts it this way: “I like this School because there are great teachers here. Every day when I go home, I have learnt something new. We get choices in the classroom on our projects, which is fun. I like how the teachers care so much about the students.

They listen, let everyone ‘have a go’ and they will always help you.”

From one of our Year 12 graduands, Madeleine: “Caloundra City Private School provides excellent support for their students, even after graduation. As one of the first ever graduates of the School, I am proud to have successfully completed my schooling and gain entry to university.

Throughout my first year of University, the teachers who helped me through my schooling continued to assist and support my education. I have achieved success in my learning and I am grateful to the School for this.”

From one of our parents, Mrs Natarsha Turner: “One of the most important decisions we make as parents is the school we select

for our children’s education. We know we have made the right decision sending our three children to Caloundra City Private School because the teachers have outstanding commitment and show a real and genuine interest in the children.

Our whole family benefits from the School’s values which are instilled in our children, and above all our children love and enjoy their school life.”

From one of our Year 12 graduands, Jennifer: “CCPS is completely unique and caters for each individual’s academic program. It allows flexibility in its programs, such as my custom designed timetable which allows for my external music lessons. With life changing opportunities from Prep to Year 12, CCPS is completely distinctive from other schools in the area. I have been lucky enough to be selected for the School’s Exchange to Program to Scotland and that was truly life changing.”

From one of our Year 11 students, Andrew: “ The one-to-one time with every teacher of the subject is unheard of in many schools but at Caloundra City Private School, it is the norm. Teachers are always willing to make time to talk about any problems and they inspire and nurture me to develop my own ideas fully. I have the flexibility in my individual timetable to take advantage of a traineeship as an outdoor education instructor.”

From Melissa, Class of 2010: “ My experience at Caloundra City Private School was incredibly rewarding.

Some of my highlights are being School Captain, as well as my Exchange to Canada. With the small class sizes and great teachers, I was able to obtain an excellent education and because of this I was successful in achieving the university course I wanted to study at the University of Queensland.”

PART LIMOUSINE, PART BUSH BASHER WORDS Peter Atkinson, AAP IMAGES AAP

I

’m just back from holidays – part of which was spent flying on the new Qantas Airbus A380 super-jumbo.

Wow, what a machine. While most aircraft are thundering away as they accelerate for take-off, the A380 emits the barest of whines as its occupants are smoothly, silently whisked upward.

Funny, but we got much the same feeling when we drove the Lexus LX570. Slightly smaller than an A380 but every bit as luxurious. Every bit as effortless. Every bit as quiet. Lexus claims it’s made for “extreme adventures in extreme comfort”.

The LX570 still gives a hint of the

luxury brand’s links to parent company Toyota. Unlike other stand-alone Lexus models, this one bears a visual resemblance to the Toyota LandCruiser Sahara, upon which it is based. In every other sense it’s pure Lexus.

From the glossy finishes on the wood-panelled interior, to the supple leather of the big, plump seats and the tactile way every switch, every button works just so.

Despite its luxurious feel, this vehicle retains all the best traits of those LandCruiser underpinnings – long renowned as one of the most

durable, go-anywhere off-roaders ever built. The LX is perhaps the ultimate go-anywhere vehicle – part limousine and part bush basher.

It’s surprisingly practical, despite the pampering way in which it treats its occupants.

The big, chilled storage bin between the front seats; the twin video screens with infra-red headphones for rear-seat passengers to watch DVDs; the infinitely adjustable, heated leather seats and the push-button operation of the rear hatch. All luxury, but useful, items. continued over>

<from previous page If that’s not enough luxury, Lexus offers the LX with an Enhancement Pack, which adds a pre-crash safety system with radar-guided cruise control; mahogany wood finish on the steering wheel and gearshifter and a seat cooling function to keep your behind nicely ventilated.

The LX570’s off-road credentials include a dual-range transfer case and a multi-terrain select system, which automatically adjusts to any of five kinds of rough going.

It is a massive thing – more than five metres long, almost two metres wide and two metres high – and tipping the scales at 2750 kilograms.

As you might expect, it has a mammoth capacity – it will accommodate eight passengers – five in absolute comfort and three more, courtesy of those electrically-folding third-row seats, in acceptable comfort.

Cargo space is gargantuan when the third row of seats is not in use, and the LX will tow a load of up to 3500 kilograms.

Pushing all that around is no mean task – one which falls to a smooth,

deliciously powerful 5.7-litre petrol V8 which delivers 270 kilowatts and a hefty 530 Newton metres of torque.

That’s more than ample to counter its bulk, never feeling laboured or stressed in the process. As you might imagine the big Lexus enjoys a drink – official consumption is 14 litres per 100 kilometres, but expect to spend the bulk of your time in the low to mid 20s. At least its 90-litre tank means you don’t have to visit the servo too regularly – when you do it will cost you about $150.

A six-speed automatic transfers this power to an all-wheel-drive system, which is in constant operation, giving the Lexus reassuring grip in on-road conditions as well as its remarkable off-road ability.

But let’s be honest: Lexus owners, by and large, tend not to be your typical outdoorsy types – so this big machine is far more likely to be seen at the school drop-off or at school rowing regattas than on Fraser Island or the Gibb River Road. Still, it’s nice to know you can go places when you want to. Just like in the A380.

GRAND PRIX TRIPLE TREAT Three international superstars will line up against each other at the 2013 Formula 1 Rolex Australian Grand Prix next month.

Casey Stoner, Mick Doohan and David Coulthard will take to the starting grid for a star-studded Ultimate Speed Comparison.

MotoGP hero Casey Stoner will take to the wheel of a Red Bull V8 Supercar, Mick Doohan a Mercedes-Benz SL 63 AMG road car and David Coulthard a Red Bull Racing F1 car on the spectacular Albert Park circuit.

Five-time MotoGP World Champion Mick Doohan has his money on Coulthard for linehonours but looks forward to taking on his competitors on four wheels instead of two.

“DC has won the Australian Grand Prix twice at Albert Park and is the obvious favourite in his Red Bull F1 car, but I’m sure Casey and I can take it to him next month – we will have to wait and see,” he says.

Red Bull Racing Australia team

David Coulthard owner Roland Dane says the Ultimate Speed Comparison is set to be bigger and better than ever in 2013 with the addition of Stoner and Red Bull.

“This is an extraordinary world class line-up and we are proud to be involved,” he says.

“It’s the motorsport dream team – to have these guys at the same event is incredible, but to have them racing against each other at Albert Park is something else. The fans are in for a great show.”

The Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix is held from March 14–17.

COMMODORE GROWS UP

AAP

But Holden general manager Mike Devereux says the Commodore hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost its common touch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think average Aussie families are demanding more than ever from the cars that they drive,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to over-achieve on their expectations on what a family car is in this country.â&#x20AC;?

The veil has only been lifted on the top-of-the-line Calais V model, and Holden is yet to release details on the entire range.

With a touch of the theatrical, Devereux describes the Calais V as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the most technologically-advanced car ever created in Australiaâ&#x20AC;?.

Despite suggestions to the contrary, Devereux promises the VF will not be the final Commodore.

He has confirmed that once production on the VF ceases in late 2016, the company will install architecture at its Adelaide plant for another Commodore.

AAP

Holdenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new VF Commodore seems to have taken the beloved Aussie car from football and meat pies to ballet and caviar.

Holden has finally parted the curtain on the VF, seven tumultuous years after it released the previous VE, during which time the Commodore has arguably lost its crown as the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ubiquitous family car amid a period of decline for large cars generally.

BUILDING

IT UP

PREVIEW Builders on the Coast have been doing it tough, but experts say the industry has reached rock bottom and all signs point to a steady recovery in the next few years.

here’s no denying it’s been a tough few years for the Sunshine Coast’s residential construction industry.

Once a pillar of our local economy, the industry has suffered big losses since the GFC. Data from the Australia Bureau of Statistics shows that in the 2002-2003 financial year there were 3403 building approvals for houses in the Sunshine Coast Council area, and 3006 in 2003-2004; by 2007 this had adjusted to the early 2000s, but in 2011-2012 the figure had dropped as low as 1246.

After a marked decline in residential construction figures across the state, last September the state government announced its $15,000 first home owner construction grant – designed to steer first-time buyers toward newly-built homes and stimulate construction activity.

While conditions have been tough across the state, our local region has been particularly affected, as the flow-on from development activity has traditionally comprised a significant percentage of the region’s GDP. However, according to Housing Industry Association chief economist Dr Harley Dale, after a difficult few years there may be some hope on the horizon for the Sunshine Coast residential construction industry.

Speaking at the HIA’s local industry outlook breakfast in Maroochydore yesterday, Dale presented Sunshine Coast builders and developers with some tentative signs the market may be on the improve. He was careful to point out it is very early days in terms of a recovery – saying it’s “not

all sunshine and lollypops” for local builders just yet – but that there are signs we can look forward to stronger conditions over the next few years.

“There are some indications that the Sunshine Coast market has bottomed out, and that we can look forward to some improved conditions in the future,” Dale says.

“That’s not to say we’re all of a sudden going to be off to the races. But the key is that this time last year we couldn’t have been talking about signs emerging that things were going to get better.”

Renowned for his no-fuss assessment of economic conditions, Dale was open about the challenges the Sunshine Coast economy is facing, including a heavily subdued labour market, declining building approvals and lacklustre tourism performance. However, overall indicators suggest the potential for future growth.

The HIA says that “at face value” the ingredients for a recovery in the construction industry are present, including lower interest rates, a shortage of rental properties, nominal recovery in dwelling prices and rental yields and a strong showing in the equity market.

However, demand-side factors, including continuing global financial uncertainty and concerns about job security, combined with supply-side factors such as a reduction in credit available for residential construction and greater difficulty for households in obtaining it have softened the effects, meaning the Reserve Bank of Australia’s recent reductions to interest rates have

M Y W EEK LY PREVIEW.C OM .A U

been less effective than hoped.

Despite this, there is still potential for growth on the Sunshine Coast. Dale said that historically low interest rates combined with easing house and unit prices across most local markets has improved housing affordability, and that the Sunshine Coast can expect to benefit from the “potential pipeline” of major construction projects slated for the region, including the Sunshine Coast University Hospital and improving tourism.

“The reality is that it’s been a long road back, and it’s not going to go from weak to strong straight away,” Dale says, “but I’m happy to be able to outline why I think things are going to get better, rather than stay bad or get worse.”

The HIA forecasts that Queensland housing starts – which dropped from 34,420 dwellings commenced in the 2009-2010 financial year to 26,290 in 2011-2012 – will increase modestly over the next few years, with projections of 28,250 dwellings commencing in 2012-2013 and 32,180 in 2013-2014. It also expects overall renovation investment to remain healthy, with projections between $7.15 and $7.18 billion over the coming two financial years.

Residential land sales have also been improving across the Sunshine Coast after a sharp decline in volumes mid 2010.

“In terms of the new home market, what’s happening to land sales is a very reliable and quite an early indicator of how much building activity

The reality is that it’s been a long road back, and it’s not going to go from weak to strong straight away, but I’m happy to be able to outline why I think things are going to get better, rather than worse Dr Harley Dale, Housing Industry Association chief economist

we’re going to see in the future,” Dale says.

“If you’re not seeing any signs of a recovery in land sales, it’s hard to be able to look for activity to lift in construction further down the track.”

Local agents are now reporting a strong increase in interest in residential land, and a corresponding increase in actual sales.

Damien Michael from Next Property Group says late last year his office experienced a “massive surge” in vacant lot sales – its best period for land sales since 2008.

“We have sold more blocks of land in the past 16 weeks than we have since the GFC in November 2008,” Michael says. “Ten blocks of land were sold in Peppertree Estate in the seven days before Christmas. All up, Next Property Group [has] been involved with 18 vacant land sales since mid December.”

Stockland regional manager David Laner says the developer is also experiencing increased interest in vacant land at its master-planned

communities.

“We have been encouraged by the level of activity in the Sunshine Coast residential property market in recent months,” Laner says.

“Communities such as Bells Reach at Caloundra and Brightwater at Mountain Creek continue to attract a steady rate of inquiry from a range of buyers.

“The latest land releases at Brightwater have been highly sought after ahead of the opening of a new retail centre for the community and a second lakeside park later this year.”

This renewed interest, combined with the tentative signs Dale spoke about yesterday, will hopefully signal some sunnier times ahead for the local residential construction industry.

“The fact that in early 2013 we can be talking about some improvement – even if it is quite moderate – means that later in 2013 we should be seeing an increase in actual new home building activity,” Dale says.

LOCAL PAIR’S NEW PROJECT

S

ynonymous with successful residential property marketing and sales for more than 30 years, PRD Project Marketing is making a comeback courtesy of a new partnership between two Sunshine Coast property marketing identities.

Rick Williams and Damian Brown have teamed up for a new project marketing venture and have secured the use of the PRD Project Marketing name under license, initially for projects across South-East Queensland. Williams is co-owner and director of PRDNationwide Buderim, and says it was an easy choice given their history with the brand.

“I have been involved with PRD for more than 10 years, both in north Queensland originally and now here on the Sunshine Coast, while Damian was PRD’s first research manager in the company’s early days on the Gold Coast when it pioneered

professional project marketing and sales,” Williams says. “It’s a perfect fit and we are equally thrilled to maintain our connection with such a well-established and trusted brand.”

Williams and Brown (who is the co-founder of Urban21) say the hallmark of the original brand was to offer a comprehensive service specifically designed to suit each project, and they believe their

combined skills in research and market analysis, planning and design, the development of marketing plans and sales management will deliver results.

“While the market is clearly different today, we believe there are some important principles which have been neglected in recent times to the detriment of the projects and clients,” Brown says. “What we know hasn’t changed is that attention to market knowledge, planning and design at the start of the project is just as critical as the sales process at the end. It remains a total process.”

Williams and Brown say they believe early 2013 is the ideal time to launch the new venture.

“There is no doubt there is still uncertainty across the residential sector,” Brown says. “However we are seeing clear evidence that the severe caution that has dominated the past two years is giving way to some optimism.”

For Rob Whiting’s vendors, last week the answer to that question was again the auction process. The RE/MAX Property Services agent took three listings to auction at an in-room event and had sold all of them by the end of the night – two under the hammer and one with an unconditional cash contract prior to the auction event.

ARIES Mar 21-Apr 20 You’re in the mood to talk but is anyone listening?

Others have their own problems, so find ways to entertain yourself. Casual conversations could become dramas if you’re not careful.

TAURUS Apr 21-May 21 Beautify your work space and have some fun as Venus enhances on the job charm, enjoyment – and love. If you are single, you could find yourself drawn to a professional colleague.

GEMINI May 22-Jun 21 Your ruling planet Mercury starts reversing through your career zone – from Saturday until March 18. So prepare for mixed messages, missed appointments and plenty of computer chaos.

CANCER Jun 22-Jul 23 Saturday favours being more adventurous than usual. Saturn pours cold water on displays of affection on Sunday – but that doesn’t mean you aren’t loved.

LEO Jul 24-Aug 23 Put in your personal best on Saturday, as others sit up and take notice. Saturn stymies shows of affection on Sunday. Relax – loved ones still care, even though they may not show it.

VIRGO Aug 24-Sep 23 Professional projects are favoured on Saturday, as Jupiter sends helpful colleagues and cashed-up clients in your direction.

Tread carefully in personal relationships though.

LIBRA Sep 24-Oct 23 Laidback Libra – when it comes to your ambitions for the future, don’t think small. With Jupiter in your aspirations zone, make your goals and dreams as big and beautiful as possible.

SCORPIO Oct 24-Nov 22 Over the next few weeks you need to be extra tactful with a child, teenager or friend. Otherwise there’ll be communication chaos, as you misread each other’s words and intentions.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23-Dec 21 Saturday is your pick of the weekend, as Jupiter boosts your confidence – and your energy levels. Be extra diplomatic with children and friends on Sunday, as stress levels are high.

CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 20 Finding fault with others won’t win you any favours this weekend. Friends are feeling particularly touchy, so be careful about offering criticism – no matter how “constructive” it is.

AQUARIUS Jan 21-Feb 19 The next few weeks is a tricky time for money matters, as retrograde Mercury and Mars stir up your finance zone. Resist the urge to be impulsive with cash and irresponsible with credit.

PISCES Feb 20-Mar 20 With Mercury reversing through your sign – until March 18 – make sure you check and double-check all forms of communication.

Otherwise there’ll be mix-ups and misunderstandings.

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water

Guess whose mum’s got a Whirlpool! Who pushed the super wash cycle? Unfortunately a solid run of swell has been (and is going to be) plagued with ordinary wind conditions. A low pressure system sitting off our coast produced gale-force southerly winds and a solid easterly swell earlier in the week, with experienced surfers enjoying the usual haunts.

Heading into the weekend all depends on the low behaving itself. We will still see a decent swell coming through on Friday with the promise of some offshore winds, so if there are any banks left on the open beaches they may have the goods. The swell will hang in for the weekend in the one-metre plus range but it looks like we are back into a more northerly/onshore wind pattern, so head to the sheltered northerly corners of Sunshine, Yaroomba or Kawana pocket with Kings being the pick. There will still be plenty of water moving around thanks to the easterly swell direction so keep an eye on your young folk.

FISHING REPORT with Wayne Nilsson from Maroochydore Fishing World

ESTUARY: Maroochy tides are back to normal with water clearing. Quality whiting and f athead on the rising tide along Goat and Channel islands, with yabbies and worms best. Bream and tailor at Maroochy & Mooloolaba bars will readily take pillies and whitebait.

SURF: Dart and tarwhine are taking pippies from Mudjimba to North Shore Maroochy, with best action about an hour after sunrise. Bream and tailor off the rocks at Pincushion using pillies at dusk.

OFFSHORE: As conditions allow, close-in reefs are f ring for sweetlip, parrot, moses perch and maori cod with both squid and pillies working. Spanner crabs are improving in size and quantity.

FRESHWATER: All local dams are at full capacity with most action down at the spillways. Upper reaches of the Maroochy and Noosa Rivers are choked with debris and the water is dirty so not good for bass, but heaps of catf sh.
