Rise and shine: Make the most of mornings


READ MORE

Last night, as we slumbered, the time-keeping elves in our smart devices helpfully pushed our digital displays back by an hour. If you’re an owner of an analogue clock, then you gotta do that yourself, because daylight saving is over, people. That’s right, autumn is now well under way, stripping the leaves from the trees, those nocturnal comedic creatures have commandeered the city for another glorious Melbourne International Comedy Festival and nine-to-fivers start getting home in the dark.


But at the other end of the day, with the sun rising an hour earlier, there’ll now be more light in the mornings. So how can Melburnians make the most of the city in those first hours of the day? M Mag went investigating all the options for early birds.

FRESH BAKED BAGEL BREAKFAST


Bakers are up well before the dawn and Zev Forman is no different. From 7am, you can treat yourself to the freshest bagels in town at 5Dime, tucked in 16 Katherine Place, off Flinders St. “It’s probably the best time to come in and get a bagel because they’re hot out of the iron. We pull bagels out through the day but you can always be sure you’re going to get a hot bagel if you’re here at 7am,” he says. A New Jersey native, Forman’s boiled and baked bagels “are as traditional as you can get” in terms of the process. While other mass-produced bagels take an hour from mixing dough to hitting the oven, Forman’s take 48 hours. Some of the flavours are less traditional and toppings range from classics like PBJ or cream cheese and cured meats plus they have a range of vegan options. Forman’s fave? “The everything bagel – garlic, onion, sesame, poppy and seasalt. To me, that’s a bagel.”

READ MORE Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Email print World Cup fever has crossed platforms. There was Harry Kane sneaking into India’s training sessions to meet Virat Kohli. And now there’s the All Blacks picking a XV made up of past and present cricketers. With the @cricketworldcup underway in England, we’ve taken a look at all the best players from past and present to select the ultimate Cricket XV! SQUAD NOTES https://t.co/B3rnj5OBuJ #CWC19 pic.twitter.com/KuUtPU77PT — All Blacks (@AllBlacks) June 2, 2019 And they’ve got some pretty cool reasons for picking some pretty cool players. Curtly Ambrose : If anyone wants to argue with this selection then take it up with Sir Curtly himself. We dare you. MS Dhoni : The Richie McCaw of Cricket. Enough said. Dwayne Leverock : Famous for his one-handed catch at the 2003 World Cup, the 130kg Bermudian would surely make just as big a splash on the rugby field. Jofra Archer runs in to bowl  Get...

Banned Bancroft's journey of self-discovery

Image
READ MORE © Getty Images Spanish lessons, yoga and a host of community work have all been part of the path taken by Cameron Bancroft since the Newlands ball-tampering scandal. The Australia batsman has been looking to seek the sort of perspective and self-knowledge that will prevent him from following the kind of instructions issued to him by David Warner in the Cape Town dressing room. Bancroft spoke in Perth on Saturday ahead of his return to cricket via Twenty20 and 50-over appearances in the Northern Territory, where he will also endeavour to work closely in developing local talent. It’s the next step on the path away from Newlands as Bancroft serves a nine-month ban from the game imposed by Cricket Australia under its code of conduct. Perspective on life was greatly needed as Bancroft, Warner and the former captain Steven Smith pondered what evolved in South Africa, and Bancroft said he had spent plenty of time devoting himself broadening his own knowledge and also to...

Drones to become the new naval mine hunters under Morrison pledge

Image
READ MORE Advanced navies worldwide are increasingly turning to drones to do mine hunting and clearing work at sea. Marcus Hellyer, a former Defence Department official and now a senior analyst at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, said that using autonomous and unmanned sea vehicles allowed the crewed ship to stay at the edge of a minefield, keeping naval personnel safer. The Morrison government has promised if re-elected to fast-track the building of two new mine hunting naval ships. Credit: Nine Newspapers “Common sense has prevailed,” he said of the decision. “Rather than keeping going down the path where you have old technology being extended at great cost, this will introduce new technology more quickly and that’s a good thing. “The current path does keep the human at the centre of the minefield, but the new approach lets them stay outside the minefield and let autonomous vehicles go in and do the dangerous work.” Article source: https:/...
