READ MORE While his form is a boost ahead of the national road title in Ballarat next month, the win was not entirely a surprise for the Sydney cyclist. “I knew the guys who were riding today which helps out a lot,” he said.  “It’s a bit more of a known quantity going in.” Ellerm-Norton took off on the brutal Beloka climb to establish a lead over Coyle, who was quicker up Beloka than Tour de France champion Chris Froome last year. “When I saw he was under a little bit of pressure going up the Beloka climb, I thought it would be worthwhile to keep on pushing on and just put him on the back foot,” he said.

READ MORE This year’s photo had the smallest number of female heads of state in the history of G20 group photos. German Chancellor Angela Merkel was absent after her plane suffered from mechanical faults. The reduced presence points to a dip in female representation of world leaders amongst the G20 membership of industrialised nations. Leader summits have been held since 2008. British Prime Minister Theresa May and International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde were notable for their non-navy coloured suits. At two, that amounts to the lowest number of female leaders since 2010. The highest number was five in 2012 and 2013.

READ MORE George H.W. Bush – the upper-crust war hero-turned-oilman and diplomat who steered America through the end of the Cold War as president and led a political dynasty that saw his son win the White House – died Friday. He was 94.  George W. Bush called his father a “man of the highest character and the best dad a son or daughter could ask for,” in a statement announcing his death.  “The entire Bush family is deeply grateful for 41’s life and love, for the compassion of those who have cared and prayed for Dad, and for the condolences of our friends and fellow citizens.” Bush’s passing comes just months after the death in April of his wife and revered first lady Barbara Bush – his “most beloved woman in the world” – to whom he was married for 73 years. The 41st American president was a foreign policy realist who navigated the turbulent but largely peaceful fall of the Soviet Union in 1989 and assembled an unprecedented coalition to defeat Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein two years

READ MORE When he has failed, as he did in his younger years in Australia and England, he shrewdly and meticulously learnt and returned as a mighty, almost impenetrable threat. The last time he was in Australia, Kohli left with 692 runs at 86.25 with four centuries in four Tests. This year in England, he thumped 593 at 59.3, altering his technique in a bid to counter the swinging ball. At 30, he returns to Australia as the No.1 ranked batsman in the world, at the peak of his powers and ready to pose an extraordinary number of questions to a frontline attack of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon. Replay Replay Video He will also be keen to make amends for his poor form last year against Australia, when the tourists held him to 46 runs at 9.2 in five innings before he conceded to injury. While that was on Indian soil, Starc, Lyon, Hazlewood and Cummins should be able to take confidence from at least having dismissed him once each in that series, having him caug

I was rowing at the time so the choice was 5am freezing cold starts on the lake or indoor in a gym with friends, so I made the transition quite easily. “I made ACT teams then got a scholarship leading up to the 2000 Olympics. I was the only Canberra girl on the team and now I’ve finished it’s about sharing my passion with kids because a lot of haven’t heard of or played volleyball like I hadn’t.” Uren said both indoor and beach volley are becoming more popular and believes there could be some ACT players at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. “There’s junior trials coming up soon for the Australian junior beach volleyball tournament. It’s getting bigger, Canberra was a bit behind other states but we have better facilities now and have a chance of getting more teams in,” Uren said. “Some of the kids I first started coaching five years ago are now ACT junior players, it’s a lovely transition from learni

READ MORE Houston: George H.W. Bush, a patrician New Englander whose presidency soared with the coalition victory over Iraq in Kuwait, but then plummeted in the throes of a weak economy that led voters to turn him out of office after a single term, has died. He was 94. The World War II hero, who also presided during the collapse of the Soviet Union and the final months of the Cold War, died late on Friday night, said family spokesman Jim McGrath. His wife of more than 70 years, Barbara Bush, died in April. Former President George H. W. Bush in 2008.

Bush , the 41st President of the United States, has died  at the age of 94 on Nov. 30. His health had been failing and he had been in and out of hospitals earlier this year. His death comes seven months after his beloved wife of 73 years, Barbara Bush , sadly  passed  in April at the age of 92. His longtime spokesman revealed that the former  president passed away at 10:10pm CST but did not give a cause of death in the brief statement.

READ MORE The nation is in mourning after George H.W. passed away on Nov. 30. While we all grieve, take solace in looking back at his incredible life in pictures, here. America is going through a rough patch. Former President  George H.W. Bush   sadly died on Nov. 30 — only seven months after the death of his beloved wife, Barbara Bush .   But instead of focusing on that tragedy, let’s remember his amazing life, both in office and out. George lived a live full of excitement and adventure, both inside the White House and out. Despite using a motorized scooter or a wheelchair to get around, George celebrated his 90th birthday like a real daredevil — by making a tandem parachute jump! And for his 92nd birthday, George organized a fishing trip for 40 wounded warriors and let them use his speedboat. If we had to pick our favorite thing about George, it’s that he reportedly voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Election. But if you think that’s impressive, just wait until you hear how we

READ MORE But as the bar was full of flammable materials such as liquor and part of a larger building housing other businesses — including the Nova radio studios on the floor above — Senior Constable Pollock said the situation could have turned out much worse. “There’s fire marks on the floor and minimal damage to furnishings — chairs, stools — but no structural damage whatsoever,” he said. “At this stage there is CCTV in the premises … we’re unable to access that at this time so in the meantime we’re appealing to the public.” Senior Constable Pollock described the attempted arson as “very random, very amateur”; the alleged arsonists broke into the bar through a rear glass door but the fire didn’t take hold. “The actual fire is minimal — something hasn’t gone to plan,” he said.

READ MORE But if domestic gas prices remain low, new reserves may not be developed and supply may not meet demand in the medium to long term, it said. Mines Minister Bill Johnston said the pending shortage was a fact, with Woodside’s North West Shelf in decline. “Figures show there’s a potential shortage in the mid-2020s,” Mr Johnston said. “That isn’t to say that, at the time, there won’t be other fields in production but at the moment, on approved projects, there is a gap.” Rod Campbell, research director at The Australia Institute, says it’s outrageous WA could find itself with a potential domestic gas shortage, despite its 15 per cent reservation policy.

READ MORE “That’s the clear goal, [to be] the first Renegades team to play in the finals,” Coyle said. “We believe that our list is good enough. It’s about executing plans … we need to win some games, get some momentum, and hang onto that for as long as we can. “But we’ve got a really good blend now of experience and exciting young players. We’ll go out and play hopefully a really exciting brand of cricket. That’s the goal. Let’s hope that’s good enough. But there are some really good signs.” With New Zealand tearaway Lea Tahuhu, experienced and lively spinner Molly Strano, Wareham, Molineux, captain Amy Satterthwaite, Maitlan Brown and the spin of Danni Wyatt, the Renegades have no shortage of bowling options. The key area in which the Renegades need to improve is their batting. Only Satterthwaite, Molineux and Jess Duffin passed 50 last season, although big-hitting Englishwoman Wyatt, Erica Kershaw, Courtney Webb and Anna Lanning have added batting depth this season.

The clash has also exposed rifts within Europe, with British, Baltic State and Polish calls for new sanctions rebuffed by France and Germany. Bulgarian MPs gave the go-ahead for the country to join the TurkStream, a gas pipeline project designed to re-route Russian exports around Ukraine.

READ MORE One of the New Testament’s most infamous characters, he presided at Christ’s trial but was said to have washed his hands to symbolise that he abdicated responsibility for the crucifixion. The ring was originally unearthed in the late Sixties at Herodium (also known as Herodian), a fortress and palace built by King Herod in the desert near Bethlehem. It was one of hundreds of artefacts that came to light, including glass objects, pottery and coins. A team of academics, including archeologists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, think the ring belonged to Pontius Pilate himself. “I don’t know of any other Pilatus from the period and the ring shows he was a person of stature and wealth,” Danny Schwartz, a professor of Jewish history, told Haaretz newspaper. Roi Porat, the director of a new phase of digging at Herodium, who ordered the detailed analysis of the ring, told The Times of Israel that while he did not want to jump to conclusions, “we have a ring inscribed with t
