CLANCY AND ARTACHO DEL SOLAR LOOK TO TURN BEACH VOLLEYBALL SILVER TO GOLD IN BIRMINGHAM

“There’s no better feeling than being in the green and gold, and there’s always that moment when you step out onto court of soaking it all in…it’s really special and you really can’t put it into words,” said Clancy. “At the Commonwealth Games you’re not just representing yourself, your team, your family – you’re representing your whole country.

‘It’s rubbish!’: Why a local pensioner has been denied work

Polar bear attacks | New paper polar bears attracted to garbage dumps blames lack of sea ice without any evidence

This is why there are polar bears in my recent sea ice tsunami novel set in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia in March 2026. Davis Strait polar bears are thriving, having increased in number dramatically since the 1970s, due to hunting bans and abundant harp seals. Until the last few years, Davis Strait polar bears haven’t been spotted this far south in the spring since 1849 (with a few other historical reports even further south in the 1500s). The last time a polar bear was spotted onshore in the Gulf area (and got this much attention) was in late March 2017. These recent polar bear sightings in the Gulf of St. Lawrence likely reflect a population that’s at its peak size or still increasing.

“Instead there needs to be a simple system where they are able to work more and then pay income tax.“

It’s a good idea. Do it.

Monsters of Rock: Rinehart is all dressed up to rock Pilbara iron ore expansion

It’s no secret Gina Rinehart’s move on Atlas Iron a few years ago has been a good marriage for both, giving Hancock Prospecting a portfolio of close to shovel ready iron ore resources to plunder with the capital backing the junior didn’t have when it was a listed company. With solutions for port space and infrastructure now cleared up with a new capacity expansion from the WA Government at Port Hedland, an avenue is opening up for Rinehart to expand the production base of her solely owned iron ore assets should the market allow.
