Dave Hughes receives some mixed messages after giving out phone number

Comedian Dave Hughes has received thousands of text messages after giving out his phone number of television on Tuesday night.

The messages have certainly each had a different spin but not all of them have been nice.

Hughes gave out his phone number on national television in response to accidentally posting his wife’s phone number on one of his social media accounts recently.

Unsurprisingly, his wife was less than impressed at the time and so Hughes said that he would have no issues sharing his own number as he loves interacting with the public.

So during his show ‘We Have a Problem’ Hughes shared his number with the audience. He said that following the release of his mobile number “the phone just kept ringing all night”. And the comedian literally means all night with calls and texts coming through in the early hours of the morning as his show aired in the western cities.

Dave Hughes said that he had also received a number of phone calls and was attempting to respond to every text message he got. People were Face Timing and then just throwing the phone down Hughes said at the shock of him actually answering the phone.

There were also a lot of very nice messages being sent through according to Dave Hughes with one woman saying that the “show was making them laugh for the first time” since their son passed away. “That’s a bloody lovely thing to get” Hughes said.

Whilst there were a “truckload” of positive messages coming through, the comedian did say that there were a few not so nice messages as well.

Dave Hughes did make a confession the following morning during an interview saying that the number that appeared on the screen for the viewers at home was in fact not his real number.

Whilst Dave Hughes was willing to give it out the nation, it was his management that said he couldn’t do it. I’m sure that the comedian is glad he didn’t now that he is receiving so many calls and texts.

He said that those in the live audience were lucky enough to receive his real number but for those at home it was a different SIM created especially for the show.

But everyone can still be sure that Dave Hughes will be receiving your messages as they are sent through.

More details of the messages and calls that he has received will be discussed on his radio show ‘Hughesy & Kate’ that airs between 4:30pm and 6:30pm weekdays on 2DayFM.

Oasis in Tottori Sand Dunes off-limits to save endangered beetle

Oasis in Tottori Sand Dunes off-limits to save endangered beetle

An oasis in the Tottori Sand Dunes is to be off-limits to save a rare endangered species of beetle. The oasis was a hot spot for Pokémon Go players who would flock to the area to catch the virtual creatures. Unfortunately, the influx of people resulted in a beetle species being stomped out so much that it could put their existence at risk.

The oasis is planned to be roped off to protect the beetle known as Cylindela Elisae. Since the launch of Pokémon Go in 2016, the number of insects plummeted due to people stepping on them.

The Tottori Sand Dunes are a part of a national treasure as well as a protection zone that is a part of the Sanin Kaigan National Park.

Roping off the area was confirmed during a conference discussing the regeneration of the sand dunes. The decision took into account that the restriction could impact tourists visiting the landmark but ultimately officials of the Environment Ministry and other made the decision to prioritise the regeneration of the landscape.

Nobuo Tsurusaki, a professor of animal ecology, stated that if we don’t take immediate action to protect the rare species of beetle they will move even closer to extinction. To show how drastically the beetle’s population dropped, researchers released the population of the beetles over the past couple of years.

  • 2015 – 2,300
  • 2016 – 1,460
  • 2017 – 153

A figure below 500 species population is considered endangered so the fact that it is less than 25 percent of the figure is very worrying.

The drop in population of the beetles isn’t solely the fault of Pokémon Go. Rising temperatures, sparse rainfall along with the influx of stomping tourists have really put these beetles in danger of extinction.

The prefecture took advantage of the Pokémon Go craze and when there was an in game event commencing they promoted that visitors play the game on the dunes. Over the course of three days the dunes had approximately 90,000 visitors.

During the event, Tsurusaki requested to not let Pokémon appear around the oasis to avoid any more damage to the eco system of the beetles. He wants to avoid a similar fate that the Calomera Angulate suffered as they are now considered extinct due to not being spotted since 1997.

Tsurusaki stated that he believes the extinction of the Calomera Angulate was from weed-removal that took place in the dunes as it was the species main source of food.

Reasons why you would need BAA compliant LED lights

Reasons why you would need BAA compliant LED lights

There are several reasons why you would want to have BAA compliant LED lights, whether it is for the purpose of personal home lighting, lighting of a business space or in the context of governmental work.

Light Emitting Diode lighting, or LED lighting, creates light through electricity through the release of electrons. These lights differ from regular light bulbs that use heat to produce light.

What is BAA compliance? The Buy American Act, commonly abbreviated to the BAA, states that for a product to be considered to be Made in USA, more than half of the parts that constitute the manufacture of this product must be sourced from the U.S.

BAA compliance becomes particularly important when considering governmental procurement of products (including LED lighting) for public use. That is to say, the BAA prohibits the US Government from making use of a product or material that is not BAA compliant i.e. that is not considered to be a domestically-made product.

As such, the U.S. Government may only use BAA compliant materials in projects. In the context of LED lighting, the government may only use BAA compliant LED lights for streetlights, for example.

Hence, BAA compliant LED lights are LED lights that consist of at least 50% American-made parts. It is evident why these lights are important. Here are some reasons why.

LED lighting is more energy efficient

Compared to traditional light sources, LED lighting is much more energy efficient. Approximately 80% of the electricity used to power an LED lightbulb is used for actual lighting, with 20% lost into heat and other energies.

This has clear implications both for cost-savings and the conservation of the environment. Utilising LED lighting will not only have less impact on your electricity bill, but it will also benefit the environment in the long run as less energy is wasted.

This also extends past personal home use to large scales such as in businesses, and even larger purposes such as airport lighting and urban infrastructures.

LED lighting has a long life expectancy

LED lighting has an extremely long life expectancy, especially compared to incandescent or fluorescent lighting. Some LED lights can last as long as twenty years, whereas traditional light sources are reaching the end of their lifespans in as little as two years.

This also has implications for cost-savings and environmental conservation, on top of being more hassle-free. Having to change lightbulbs frequently is tedious as is often the case with incandescent lighting.

With LED lighting, you do not have to purchase lighting as frequently, saving you money over the long run. Additionally, the fact that LED lights take so long to die out means there is significantly less waste in the environment.

Economically, BAA compliance benefits the domestic economy

On the other hand, BAA compliance is also beneficial for the domestic economy.

The purpose of the Buy American Act is primarily for the protection of domestic labour, enacting a price preference for domestic end products. This comes in the form of a requirement for the government agency purchasing the product to consider non-domestic offers that are lower-priced to be a certain percentage more costly in deciding the best value.

As such, LED lights that are BAA compliant directly support the domestic economy by virtue of taking preference over non-domestic goods, resulting in higher circulation of spending within the domestic economy.

This in turn results in a greater domestic labour outlook, higher domestic GDP and ultimately a more productive and successful economy. Hence it goes without saying that purchasing BAA compliant LED lights directly supports the domestic economy.

Whether it is their superior economic and environmental benefits, or the fact that they benefit the domestic economy, BAA compliant LED lights are a great choice for lighting in any project.

 

Europe and the US expel Russian diplomats over spy poisoning

Europe and the US expel Russian diplomats over spy poisoning

The United States and their European allies are expelling Russian diplomats in response to the poisoning of the former Russian spy, Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia.

Over 20 countries are aligned with the UK to expel more than a total of 100 diplomats. The movement is the largest collective expulsion in history of Russian intelligence officers. Russia denies that they had any involvement with the attack on the two in Southern England earlier this year. Both Sergei and his daughter Yulia remain in a critical condition in hospital but are stable.

The leaders of the EU were in agreement last week that Russia was most likely behind the attacks. An official stated that President Putin was carrying out acts of aggression that go against the shared interests and values of the people of the continent.

This poison attack is developing into one of the most serious diplomatic crises with Russia and the Western world since Crimea was seized by Moscow. Regardless of Russia’s denial, the allies of Britain have accepted their view that the nerve agent attack was most likely conducted by the state of Russia.

UK and EU relations have been strained since he Brexit negotiation but the collective expulsions is an extraordinary sign of solidarity of US and EU members with Britain.

Earlier this month the UK announced that they would be expelling 23 Russian diplomats. The other countries that are also following suit are;

  • Australia – 2 Diplomats
  • The United States – 60
  • Ukraine – 13
  • Canada – 4 plus the rejection of any other further applications
  • Albania – 2
  • Norway – 1
  • Macedonia – 1
  • EU Countries – 33 combined

Additionally Iceland also announced that they would be suspending dialogue with the Russian authorities and that their leaders will not be attending the Football World Cup that commences in Russia in June.

The UK said that they would not be sending any members of the royal family or ministers to the World Cup either.

The EU countries that have expressed no interest in expelling the diplomats are Greece, Portugal and Austria. While they haven’t gone as far as expulsion, the three countries have said that they support the UK’s efforts for condemning the attack.

President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, stated that the states of the EU had decided that the expulsion of the Russian diplomats is the appropriate retaliation for the poisoning that happened in Salisbury.

He also said that additional measures such as the expulsion from the EU framework itself aren’t ruled out and could be a reality within the coming days and weeks.

Russia’s Australian ambassador casts doubt on Salisbury attack

Russia’s Australian ambassador casts doubt on Salisbury attack

The Russian ambassador for Australia has attempted to diminish allegations of Russian involvement in an attack on a former spy with nerve agents. This poison attack left both Sergei Skripal and his daughter unconscious in a park in Salisbury, UK.

The government of the UK alleges that the nerve agent used was called Novichok, which was developed by the Soviet Union during the cold war.

Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull joined other world leaders in condemning Russia for its alleged involvement and ordered two Russian diplomats to leave Australia.

Despite this, during a press conference which lasted more than an hour, Grigory Logvinov, the Russian ambassador to Australia, raised questions about the poison attack.

He asked the Australian journalists who were present, “who has seen the Skripals” since what he called “their alleged poisoning”. He went on to say that nobody has seen a “real medical report” other than in “political statements” that they were harmed with an “alleged nerve agent”.

On Friday a UK judge, citing an unknown doctor who is treating the Skripals, said that they were in a “stable but critical condition”. They cited that the Skripals are expected to have endured lasting damage to their brains as a result of the nerve agent.

When Mr Logvinov was questioned if he thought the entire controversy was faked, he said it seemed “primitively fabricated” if nothing else. Other journalists prompted a further response by suggesting it was all a conspiracy to thwart Russia.

Mr Logvinov said it was a “well-orchestrated campaign” by the West, whom he suggested stop their “anti-Russian campaign” as it had “no future”. Journalists continued to press him hard, asking him to justify his claims and to comment on if there were Russian spies in Canberra.

As well as denying the presence of Russian spies in Australia, Mr Logvinov said that Russia had committed no wrongdoings in its annexation of the Crimea and the shooting down of MH17 over the Ukraine.

When asked if he believed another cold war was imminent, Mr Logvinov simply said “If the West wants it”.

When asked about these comments, Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said that she was “not surprised” to be hearing what she called “standard Russian propaganda”.

Of the two Russian diplomats ordered to leave Australia, Mr Logvinov continued by saying that they were not spies but simply “career diplomats”. Julie Bishop and Malcolm Turnbull disagree, and have reinforced that their decision was right in order to penalise Russia.

How will your team go in NRL round 4?

How will your team go in NRL round 4?

The fourth round of the NRL kicks off tonight – how will your team fare?

The first game will be between a Cowboys side gunning for redemption and the Panthers. There are very few teams in the competition that can face a halves combination of Johnathan Thurston and Michael Morgan, and the game will be in Townsville, so I’ll tip the Cowboys to come roaring back into form and win by a couple of tries.

On Friday afternoon the Rabbitohs play the Bulldogs. The public holiday allows the kick-off to be at 4:10, so expect a decent crowd despite the woeful performance of both teams so far. Neither side looks great this year, so expect a close game. Souths did have an impressive win over Manly last week, and they should take some confidence from that. Rabbitohs to win – but not by much.

Friday night will see a replay of the 2016 NRL grand final when the Sharks face the Storm. Both sides have lost key players since then, but the Storm look to have replaced theirs better. The Storm will almost always be the favourites whenever they play, and they should win. Cronulla, however, could do a lot of damage if they click, as they have a lot of lethal outside backs.

The Saturday games will be interesting. The first will be at Allianz with the Roosters taking on the undefeated Warriors. The New Zealand side has been impressive so far this season, and look like they are finally playing to their potential. The Roosters, on the other hand, have possibly the best side (on paper) in the NRL.

Given that their attack has clicked far more quickly than expected, I think that the Roosters will outpoint the Warriors in a high scoring game.

Saturday also sees the Sea Eagles playing against the Raiders at Brookvale Oval (sorry, Lottoland). While Manly were thoroughly beaten last week by Souths, they are a different beast altogether at Fortress Brookie. Since there are no bridges to cross this week, the Manly faithful will turn up to watch their team sneak over the line.

On Sunday afternoon the Dragons play the Knights at WIN stadium. While Newcastle are a far better side than last year, St George are deservedly top of the table. Expect them to win at home comfortably.

The Broncos and Titans play off in a Queensland derby in Brisbane on Sunday night. Gold Coast are in disarray this year, while the home team are always a strong contender. Brisbane will win, but I don’t think their attack is strong enough to do it by much.

Wests Tigers and Parramatta on Monday afternoon will be close, because all of the Tigers games this year have been. The Eels also have a very underwhelming attack, so they won’t do much against the Tiger’s defensive wall. I think Wests will win, and by their biggest margin of the season (i.e. more than 2).

Make your wedding an unforgettable day

Make your wedding an unforgettable day

Many weddings have been ruined unintentionally by guests who pull out their smart phones, video recording equipment and stumble over each other during the ceremony, leaving a sea of arms and devices in the background taken by the professional wedding photographer.

Having a professional wedding photographer attend a wedding ceremony and reception means that you will be pleased with the outcome of the photos, and the guests and members of the wedding party can relax and trust the results of the image capturing to the hands of a professional.

Benefits of professional wedding photographer

Often many couples are choosing to have guests and family members have all their smart phones and devices banned from the ceremony, and place a moratorium on photos being posted to social media, in order to prevent stray and unflattering images from crawling across the internet.

Often couples will want to have their own Facebook page, or Instagram page for their wedding, so ensuring that a professional photographer is contracted and that all of the images of the wedding are of a professional grade will prevent shameful humiliation and embarrassment.

Scenarios where unflattering photos being circulated on social media can be prevented by ensuring that all guests are required to refrain from taking photos until dedicated times and designated areas within the reception and after the ceremony. Generally people are much better prepared to face a sea of cameras when they are in a better more relaxed mindset.

Some couples have instead decided to institute a complete ban on family amateur photography in order to protect their precious memories from being destroyed by being subjected to blogs where “top humiliating wedding photos” surface.

Professional wedding photographers offer discretion

Professional wedding photographer discretion is guaranteed when giving images to the married couple, and the couple can discuss image retouching services prior to any photographs being distributed via social media in order to preserve and promote the beauty and loveliness of a ceremony.

Some guests choose to share unflattering images of other guests in attendance, or moments that are less dignifying of the wedding party, causing a great deal of distress to the married couple and close friends and family.

Prevention of this type of social media mayhem is best through banning devices, smart phones and cameras being brought in by guests, and in contracting of the digital media professional. A qualified professional understands and sympathises with the wedding organisers, and will always work with the client in order to create and distribute the most beautiful and flattering images.

During a wedding, it is deeply respectful to simply participate as a guest, provide well wishes for the marrying couple, and pose with the bride and groom (bride and bride or groom and groom) as invited in order to assist the couple in having and preserving happy memories with their valued and treasured guests.

A professional wedding photographer helps all photography subjects at a formal occasion to feel relaxed, enjoy the process and to feel at their very best. Working with a highly trained and skilled individual is recommended for all couples considering having their formal ceremony recorded, regardless of the size or budget of the occasion.

This ensures that the right images and most lovely moments are recorded for posterity, and people who attended the wedding can then be appreciative of the professionalism and discretion done by the photographer years down the track where there are no regrettable moments caught on film by guests who are perhaps inebriated or acting inappropriately.

Trained industry professional can offer peace of mind

People generally spend thousands of dollars on a formal ceremony for their wedding or commitment ceremony, and even in microweddings where the budget is typically under $5000, the marrying couple generally still allocate a large budget for professional images and videography.

This ensures that the memories of the occasion are ones that they would prefer to see and to remember, and that years down the track as they are reviewing images and videos of the ceremony they are filled with joy and pleasure as to the investment of funds in contracting a professional with high recommendations.

Peace of mind can be gained from hiring a recognised industry expert, who has a portfolio of work that demonstrates clearly his or her attitude towards the work they do. Experience and attitude are evident in the portfolio of a wedding photographer, and he or she should also make available previous customer testimonials, and offer a back up or contingency plan in order to give peace of mind to his or her clients.

A wedding ceremony is generally a once off event in the life of a couple (or in the case of second marriages a very special occasion) and having a professional attend and record the day will give definite peace of mind that all of the time, money and effort expended by the couple will be shown in the images captured on the day. Beautiful memories should be respectfully captured, and only by the most trusted and reputable professionals.

How to move your family smoothly

How to move your family smoothly

Moving can be stressful as it is. However, when you throw kids into the mix, it becomes something that is nerve-wracking and disastrous, if not taken care of. It doesn’t matter if you are moving across states or down the street because change isn’t something that is welcomed by children. However, there are ways you can make the move easier and painless for both you and the kids.

Before we begin, you need to remember that much like adults; children don’t like saying goodbye to their familiar neighbourhoods. While adults can cope with some time, children’s immature cognition doesn’t allow them to understand why they are leaving their friends and area behind.

They cannot comprehend the reasons you need to move and why they need to go to another school where they know no one. Once you figure out what’s going on in your child’s mind, it will be much simpler for you to deal with the situation and bring them back on track.

Here are five tips which you can integrate into your plan for a hassle-free move.

1. Talk about the move

As soon as you know you will be moving, you need to share the news with your children. Make it an exciting time by ordering pizza and gathering around the table to have a simple conversation. Make the kids feel like they are a part of everything and tell them why you’re moving and selling the old house, especially if they are old enough to understand promotions and a new job.

Discuss everything and make sure you give them time to talk about how they feel too. Explain why you think the move is a good idea for the entire family and how they can explore new surroundings. Reassure them that all their possessions and toys will go with them to the new house, so they don’t feel like they have to leave everything behind.

2. Involve the kids in the move

Though you might not realise, children who are big enough can help you with the move and even make decluttering easier. Depending on their age, you can ask your kids to organise their toys, books and other belongings, so they don’t spend their time thinking about the move and look at you packing their stuff up.

Experts suggest that you give kids that are 6+ a chance to pack and decorate their boxes, so they feel like they are a part of things and are excited about unpacking the cartons once they reach the new house. When they have something to do, they will be less anxious, and that is a win-win for you.

If your kids are younger than 5 years and can’t pack their boxes, you can make them feel proud just by asking them to bring things from the kitchen to pack or even help you tape up the containers. The critical point to remember here is to delegate age-appropriate roles, so they don’t feel burdened by the responsibility.

3. Familiarise yourself with the new house

Families that move often suggest that you take the kids to the new house and neighborhood before the move if possible. Let them familiarize themselves with the surroundings and introduce them to the people in the community. Visiting the home is also an excellent way to get the kids excited about the move because you can ask them to choose their room and even plan where everything will go once you unpack.

Experts recommend that if the new place isn’t too far off or if you can somehow accommodate the visit into the weekend, then you plan on spending at least a day in the area where the house is. If the house is far away, then plan a weekend trip and stay at the nearest local hotel.

One reason this tip is recommended is because this visit will also give you a chance to tour the schools and visit the local library with the kids so both you and the kids have a good idea about what you can expect when you’re moving. Plus, if you’re moving into a small town, it will give your children a chance to bond with other children their age and make friends even before the move.

4. Keep your routine

One thing that kids depend on is routine. And when this routine gets disrupted during a move, it can wreak havoc on your life. So, the absolute best thing you can do is to stick to it even a day before the move. Yes, it’s hard to fit in a routine in between all the packing, planning and searching for good removalists, but you need to remember that this is something which will give your child a sense of security and your peace of mind and so you should try to make it happen.

When your kids can spend their day as they do normally, they will feel calm and won’t be as anxious about their move. It is also recommended that you keep bedtime and chore routines consistent after you move in.

5. Say goodbye to the old house

Even after you’ve kept everything calm and quiet during the move, you need to remember that this will be a significant change for your child. Before moving, host a party and invite all the friends and community members you and your child have connected to and ask everyone to exchange contact information like phone numbers and emails so your child can interact with old friends even after moving. You can also ask your child to write a story about their old home, draw a picture or even write a poem about it.

Remember that even after all that, moving can be hard for children and so you need to make it as comfortable as possible for them.

The best Autumn/Winter fashion trends for 2018

With sunlight decreasing and grey skies moving in, it’s safe to say Autumn is in full swing. To keep you from committing any fashion faux pas we’ve come through with the top trends to expect this Autumn/Winter 2018. Shop online for great deals on makeup, fashion and accessories delivered straight to your door.

Bright colours

Electric blue, punchy pink and ultraviolet purple are set to shake up your ideas of cold weather fashions. Forget about drab greys and bring colour back to your wardrobe this season with an on-trend bright coat or blazer.

Plaid and checks

If Summer is all florals then make Autumn your moment for plaid patterns a la Cher Horowitz. What was once oh so 90s is now coming back around on the trending radars. Ditch the plaid mini skirts for checkered pants or blazers to keep them in this decade.

Petite bags

Perhaps not the most practical of options but isn’t that typically high fashion? Any day you’re feeling minimalist is an opportunity to bring out your favourite tiny bag. Think faux quilted Chanel and crossbody clutches.

White boots

Channel the swinging 60s with a pair of pure white ankle boots. Spotted on celebs at nearly every Fashion Week show, they’re the statement item you need now. If you’re worried about making the plunge find a pair with mixed colours or materials such as white leather with a wooden block heel.

Sock boots

Over a year since Kanye created them and Kim Kardashian first wore them, sock boots have risen in the fashion ranks. The slim to the ankle, typically knitted style, is popular because of its versatility – they work with jeans and dresses, formal or casual. This Autumn/Winter we expect to see them continue their popularity if a cult celeb following is anything to go by.

Out with the old, in with the new

All the shopping you’re about to be doing is sure to put a strain on your wardrobe. Organise your bedroom storage now so it’s ready to fit all those trendy additions. First step; reduce the clutter by getting rid of anything you hardly ever wear. How can you tell? Here’s two wardrobe hacks to try:

  1. Put a piece of masking tape on every item of clothing and write an expiry date on it. This could be 2-4 weeks or 2-3 months from now, depending how ruthless you feel. Only remove the date when you wear that item of clothing. After the expiry date if the sticker remains then it’s time to admit the fact you’re no longer loving that style.
  2. Turn all your coat hangers so that they face the same way. Once you’ve worn something put it back in your closet with the hanger facing the opposite way. Mark a date in your diary or calendar when you’ll review how many hangers have been swapped and get rid of any pieces that after 3 months haven’t been worn. This hack is great for long-term items like coats that may only come out once every month in the transition weather.

Lavender is in

Pastels haven’t disappeared just yet but they have swapped sides of the colour wheel. Where once it was all about Millennial Pink, this season’s go to pastel shade is Lavender. It’s been spied on the runways in every way; from pastel powersuits to oversized knits, chic dresses and purple eyeshadow a major feature.

Dark lipsticks

Every Autumn/Winter we see the return of dark, brooding lips. This year seems no different with deep berry shades, dark reds and even black lipstick dominating the runways in London and New York.

Graphic eyeliner

Gone are the days for smoky kohl eyeliner. This season we’re seeing the return of graphic liquid liner looks in black and even colours. Wear a 60s flick with your white boots to channel all the best trends from the grooviest decade. Or take inspiration from Cleopatra with an Egyptian winged liner extending out toward your brow and into your crease. Keep the lines slim for a modern take on this classic look.

 

There’s more than enough here to keep you trending in the style stakes well into the next season.
