Competitive auction for dated, pink Palm Beach house
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom house sits on the Palm Beach canal with the main living areas designed to make the most of the water vistas.And the dated interiors, which included a pink kitchen, pink bathrooms and pink floral carpets, didn’t deter buyers with five offers made prior to auction. The carpets are ready for an update. “The buyers (a couple) live locally in Palm Beach and plan to move in and do some alterations,” Mr West said. “Seven out of eight buyers were local buyers.“The Palm Beach market is good, we are seeing not as many buyers move up from interstate but the local buyers still like the area and want to be close to the beach or on the water.”CoreLogic records show the property was on the market for just 27 days. The well-kept home is on a huge 1757sq m block. 138 Tallebudgera Drive, Palm Beach, has sold under the hammer for a multimillion-dollar sum. A 93-year-old woman’s dated, pink Palm Beach house has sold above reserve at a competitive auction where half the bidders were knocked out with the opening bid.The large waterfront house attracted eight registered bidders, but the $1.5 million opening bid meant only four competed for the keys.The 1757sq m property at 138 Tallebudgera Drive was called on the market at $1.98 million, with two bidders fighting it out to the end. The hammer fell at $2.025 million. A touch of pink in the kitchen. The property sold for $2.025 million to a local couple. Lacey West director Will West, who marketed the property, said the owner was thrilled with the result. “The lady who owns it was 93 years old and built it 30 years ago as a forever home” Mr West said. “She had all the family there onsite at the weekend and has downsized into something a bit smaller.“It’s pretty rare to get something on that parcel of land.” MORE NEWS: Sally Pearson’s Gold Coast home fetches more than $1 million More from news02:37International architect Desmond Brooks selling luxury beach villa12 hours ago02:37Gold Coast property: Sovereign Islands mega mansion hits market with $16m price tag2 days ago MORE NEWS: Gold Coast couple “downsize” to a Sanctuary Cove mansion Video Player is loading.Play VideoPlayNext playlist itemMuteCurrent Time 0:00/Duration 1:58Loaded: 0%Stream Type LIVESeek to live, currently playing liveLIVERemaining Time -1:58 Playback Rate1xChaptersChaptersDescriptionsdescriptions off, selectedCaptionscaptions settings, opens captions settings dialogcaptions off, selectedQuality Levels720p720pHD576p576p360p360p216p216pAutoA, selectedAudio Tracken (Main), selectedFullscreenThis is a modal window.Beginning of dialog window.

PNG LNG; Image courtesy of Oil SearchAustralian oil and gas company Santos has signed a binding letter of intent to acquire a 14.3 percent interest in Petroleum Retention Licence 3 (PRL 3), containing the P’nyang natural gas field in Papua New Guinea.The PRL 3 participants propose to undertake the development of the P’nyang field in coordination with the participants in the PNG LNG project to leverage the advantages of existing infrastructure.Santos said on Thursday that the existing PRL 3 participants agreed to sell a 14.3 percent interest (pre-government back-in) for $187 million in total.Approximately $120 million will be payable following the execution of a fully-termed sale and purchase agreement, expected around the end of June 2019.The rest will be made in contingent installments subject to the award of a production development license to replace PRL 3 and an FID for the construction of an additional LNG train at the PNG LNG plant site for the liquefaction of gas from the P’nyang field.According to the company, the execution of a sale and purchase agreement remains subject to an agreement between the parties on entry into FEED for PNG LNG plant expansion.The P’nyang field has a certified gross 2C contingent resource of approximately 4.4 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of natural gas.Santos managing director and CEO Kevin Gallagher said: “The arrangements we announce today mark an important step towards the proposed expansion at the PNG LNG plant via a 2.7 mtpa third LNG train fed by existing project resources and P’nyang.”Santos currently has a 13.5 percent interest in the PNG LNG project which has the capacity to produce more than eight million tonnes of LNG per annum.Following the execution of the new transaction, ExxonMobil as the operator will hold 36.86 percent in PRL 3 license, while its partners Oil Search and Merlin Petroleum will own 36.86 percent and 11.96 percent respectively with Santos becoming a 14.32 percent stakeholder.
Radio NZ 18 September 2016Family First Comment: And so it begins #slipperyslope A terminally ill 17-year-old has become the first minor to be helped to die in Belgium since age restrictions on euthanasia requests there were removed two years ago.The head of the country’ federal euthanasia commission said the teenager was “suffering unbearable physical pain”.Euthanasia commission head Wim Distelmans said the teenager was nearly 18.“Fortunately there are very few children who are considered [for euthanasia] but that does not mean we should refuse them the right to a dignified death,” he told the Het Nieuwsblad newspaper.The case had been reported to his committee by a local doctor last week, Mr Distelmans told Reuters.Belgium is the only country that allows minors of any age to choose euthanasia.They must have rational decision-making capacity and be in the final stages of a terminal illness.Their parents must also give consent.The Netherlands also allows euthanasia for minors, but they must be aged over 12 years old.Belgium lifted its age restrictions in 2014. The law passed by parliament said the child would have to be terminally ill, face “unbearable physical suffering” and make repeated requests to die before euthanasia is considered.Many people, including church leaders and some paediatricians, questioned whether children would be able to make such a difficult choice.READ MORE: http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/world/313583/belgium-teen-first-minor-to-be-granted-euthanasia

It was further followed by another plane with a message to stop mob lynching in India. Before that, during the Pakistan-Afganistan match, a banner was towed also about Balochistan.Red-faced by such repeated incidents and pressure from the BCCI, the ICC and the Local Organising Committee were forced to declare the air space over Old Trafford as no-fly zone during the first semifinal between India and New Zealand.But the India-New Zealand tie too witnessed its share of drama when four Pro-Khalistan Sikh spectators were evicted from the stadium by the ICC for sporting T-shirts with political messages.

Stone\’s squad exceeded expectations but struggled in conference play.[/media-credit]Looking back on the 2008-09 season for the University of Wisconsin women’s basketball team following its season-ending loss Thursday to St. Bonaventure, head coach Lisa Stone had one word in mind: identity.The Badgers, without a bona fide superstar following the graduation of its top three scorers from a year ago, found their identity this season through two things: defense and team unity.“This young squad gained an identity of defense and rebounding,” Stone said. “We soared out to a 10-1 start and put up 19 wins on the season and … look forward to our offseason and preparing for next year.”Wisconsin’s 10-1 start, which tied for third-best in school history, featured a 10-game winning streak following a season-opening road loss at South Dakota State. The winning streak was fueled by the Badgers’ victory over then -No. 6 Baylor — who earned a No. 2 seed in the NCAA field — at the Paradise Jam Tournament in the Virgin Islands, earning Wisconsin the early season tournament title.Unfortunately for Wisconsin, however, despite an impressive 10-1 start, the Badgers’ season quickly went south just four games into the conference season.After starting Big Ten play with two wins in three games, UW won just four of its final 15, finishing in seventh place in the conference and on the outside looking in for an NCAA berth.“A tale of two halves,” Stone said following the game against St. Bonaventure. “We just talked to our team about expectations of the program looking at the season as a whole. … We’re disappointed in our second half. It was like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde just a little bit.”Although Stone was referring to the Badgers’ third-round WNIT loss to the Bonnies, the comment also applies in talking about Wisconsin’s season as a whole. The two seasons for Stone’s squad — nonconference and conference — were polar opposites of each other as UW finished 10-1 in nonconference play and 8-13 against Big Ten opponents, including the Big Ten Tournament.Wisconsin’s conference tournament run was impressive with wins over Northwestern and Michigan State, but its third-round exit from the WNIT was anything but. Alhough UW did have a 15-day layoff between its last game in the Big Ten Tournament and its first in the WNIT against Kentucky, the Badgers performed poorly in both games in the tournament.First, UW barely managed to hold off the Wildcats in the first round, earning a 49-45 victory solely based on the efforts of its defense. In Sunday’s third round matchup Wisconsin looked at good in the first half as it has all year, shooting over 60 percent from the field and holding the Bonnies to just 18 points before collapsing in the second half against St. Bonaventure en route to a season-ending 56-51 loss.Despite the disappointing end to the season, the future looks bright for the Badgers, who should return every player minus senior Caitlin Gibson and gain two more in junior transfer Emily Neal and incoming freshman Taylor Wurtz.“Another thing that’s sometimes overlooked is we’re also very young,” sophomore forward Tara Steinbauer said. “I think next year we’re going to bring a lot more experience. Obviously Caitlin will be missed, but we’re going to be gaining two great players. So, I think you’re for sure going to see a strong Wisconsin team next year.”Although Wisconsin’s season was cut short, several players should benefit from the wealth of experience gained through playing time earned this season. Guard Jade Davis is one of the Badgers’ best shooters both beyond the arc and at the free throw line. Forwards Anya Covington and Ashley Thomas are both excellent defenders while Covington provides an excellent inside presence, especially on the defensive boards.Expect next year’s Badgers to field a similar three-guard lineup with Wurtz, a 6-foot guard adding to UW’s depth in the backcourt.Wurtz averaged a Wisconsin- best 25.4 points per game as a senior while leading Ripon to a 22-1 record in the 2008-09 season. Ranked No. 20 in her class among guards by ESPN HoopGurlz, she should see plenty of time and provide an immediate scoring threat for UW.With guards Davis, Teah Gant, Alyssa Karel, and Wurtz along with forwards Lin Zastrow and Steinbauer, the Badgers should have six players who, on any given night, could lead Wisconsin offensively, something that should bode well for the often offensively-challenged cardinal and white.

Iwobi’s goal was a real collector’s item, scoring with a right-footed rocket from outside the area after Chelsea failed to clear their lines in the 69th minute.Writing on social media, 1986 World Cup Golden Boot winner, Lineker said: ”That is one hell of a goal from Iwobi. We’ve seen some bonkers games in Europe this season. Not again, surely.”It was a historic goal as Iwobi became the first Nigerian player to score in the final of a European club competition, a feat the likes of Nwankwo Kanu, Finidi George, Taribo West, Chidi Odiah, Dickson Etuhu, Jonathan Akpoborie, Yakubu Aiyegbeni and Stephen Keshi failed to accomplish.Iwobi is the first substitute to score in a Europa League final since Jônatas for Espanyol in 2007.Meanwhile, Iwobi was one of the few players that had a good game in the Gunner’s embarrassing 4-1 defeat to Chelsea in the final of the 2019 UEFA Europa League on Wednesday evening.Allnigeriasoccer.com presents the views of some of the media after the match at the Olympic Stadium, Baku.The Daily Express wrote glowingly on the contributions of the Nigerian despite coming off the bench.“SUB: Alex Iwobi (on for Torreira, 67 mins) – 7.”“Announced d his arrival with a stunning volley to give Arsenal hope and played with good intent.”The London Evening Standard also rated the Nigerian highly despite coming off the bench in the second half and it was a 7/10 albeit there was no text written for all the players in action on Wednesday.“For www.90mins.com rated the Nigerian a 6 out of 10.”There has been widespread rumours that the winger could welcome new additions in his position next season which hampers his chances of regular football.Share this:FacebookRedditTwitterPrintPinterestEmailWhatsAppSkypeLinkedInTumblrPocketTelegram EUROPA LEAGUE FINALEngland legend Gary Lineker had nothing but praise for Alex Iwobi after he netted the pick of the goals in Arsenal’s 4-1 loss to Chelsea in the final of the Europa League on Wednesday night.The Nigeria international was one of the few bright sparks as the Gunners threw away another chance to qualify for the Champions League, and several fans questioned the decision to name him on the bench, especially as German playmaker Mesut Ozil struggled during the game.
With all the talk about the Lakers’ Kobe Bryant these days and his impending retirement at the end of this season, there doesn’t seem to be any doubt he will go down as one of the all-time greats.But Paul Pierce of the Clippers has had himself a fine career, too. Not as fine as Bryant’s, but certainly one that figures to land him in the Hall of Fame.Pierce, 38, this week was asked about his legacy. And he spoke in humble, yet proud, tones about it.“I’ve never really much thought about it,” said Pierce, whose Clippers took on the Lakers on Christmas night at Staples Center. “I’ve done a lot of things in this game that I’m happy for. I know I’ve worked hard, tremendously hard, throughout my career and I’ve even surprised myself.” Pierce explained.“I’m talking about playing in my 18th year,” he said. “You know, when I was in my sixth or seventh year, I said maybe a 10- or 12-year career would be pretty special.“And here I am sitting at 18. So, hopefully, when I walk away from the game, people appreciate things I’ve been able to do. But that’s for everybody else to judge.”Pierce, out of Inglewood High, has a career scoring average of 20.4. He had 26,010 career points before Friday’s game against the Lakers, making him one of just 16 players in history to crack the 26,000-point barrier.Scott chimes in Lakers coach Byron Scott attended Morningside High in Inglewood. Morningside and Inglewood have been rivals over the years, but Scott still was able to speak in complimentary fashion about Pierce’s career, of which the first 15 seasons were played for the Boston Celtics, the Lakers’ biggest rival.Of course, it came with a dose of fun sarcasm.“Watched him grow and watched his accomplishments,” Scott said. “Proud of him because he’s from Inglewood, but not proud that he went to Inglewood High School. But he’s from Inglewood, so that’s the one thing we have in common. … He’s done well. I’m proud of how well he’s played and what he’s meant to the league as well.“He’s one of those guys I look at that I think will be a Hall of Famer. He’s had an unbelievable career. But he had two mistakes. Both wore green and white. Inglewood High School and the Boston Celtics.” It still takes workClippers guard J.J. Redick this week talked about the team’s underachieving 16-13 record, and said, “I just don’t think we’re as good as we think we are, I guess.”His coach, Doc Rivers, told of Redick’s comment, came up with an interesting response.“You are what your record says you are and I always say that, but that doesn’t mean everyone believes it,” Rivers said. “I think our guys know where we can be, but I think our guys came into the season thinking we were there and we’re not; we’ve gotta work.“And you’ve gotta get there each year. You can bring back the exact same team and you have to work all over again to get back to where you’re at, so I think our guys are seeing that now.”Austin Rivers updateThe Clippers reserve guard said his sprained right ankle is improving, but he still “can’t cut really quickly right now.” He said he hopes to play Monday at Washington.
