It is a desirable product for residential.”Despite initial research indicating the estate would be best marketed to interstate buyers, Mr Dickson said the reality was far from that.“The majority of buyers are locals. About 70 per cent of our market are locals, with most moving from northern beaches,” he said. “We have four buyers in Palm Cove who going to relocate within the suburb.

Since Kerdic Homes first launched the estate there has also been a strong demand from the owner-occupier sector.“We put a stack of effort into design resulting in the average lot size of over 800 sqm,” Mr Dickson said.“People are worried about the rise of Airbnb and investors buying property and renting it out to different people all the time.”
THE last blocks with direct beach access in one of Cairns’ premier suburbs have been released and those snapping up are not who you might think they are.With the first stage of Argentea Palm Cove by Kerdic under way in June last year, a parcel of land separated from the beach by a piece of bushland has been converted to sought-after residential sites.Estate manager Bruce Dickson said there were only six parcels of undeveloped land on the ocean side of the highway at Palm Cove — two of those dominated by Argentea and Ocean’s Edge which is due for release soon.
The Telegraph 30 October 2017Family First Comment: “The researchers surveyed over 2,000 men and assigned their answers a positive mindset score of between zero and five. They found that men in a marriage or civil partnership scored the highest of any relationship status, at 3.6, while single men languished at the bottom, on 3.2. Interestingly, those who were married also scored higher than those in a long-term relationship who had not married, suggesting that there is more to the marriage ceremony than just a piece of paper.”Yep!#MarriageMattersWhen we think about what makes us happiest, the first things that come to mind are often superficial. A dream holiday, a new car, perhaps the team we support winning a trophy. However, while these things can bring immediate joy, it seems that the modern British male is more interested in a more traditional form of happiness.A new survey into the state of masculinity in 2017 has revealed what makes us tick. In an eye-opening set of statistics that call into question many of the preconceptions about modern men, marriage and decency is routinely heralded as the most important aspects of male wellbeing.The researchers surveyed over 2,000 men and assigned their answers a positive mindset score of between zero and five. They found that men in a marriage or civil partnership scored the highest of any relationship status, at 3.6, while single men languished at the bottom, on 3.2.The study also discovered that marriage is on men’s minds when they enter romantic relationships, in part dispelling the misconception that long-term monogamous relationships are no longer desirable in an age of Tinder and high divorce rates. 56pc of respondents said marriage was important, more than any other factor listed, including love and children. Similarly, 90pc of men classified romance as either important or very important – while only 78pc of men assigned those descriptors to their work. Romance was also seen as significantly more important than personal growth (54pc).READ MORE: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/relationships/traditional-man-making-comeback-new-study-reveals-marriage-decency/Keep up with family issues in NZ.

Keane, the former Sunderland and Ipswich manager, has been linked with a post as Paul Lambert’s number two at Villa Park over the past week. The 42-year-old had previously been a contender for the manager’s position at Celtic but withdrew from consideration. O’Neill believes Keane could combine his role with the national team with new duties at Villa but does not want the matter dragging into next season. O’Neill, quoted in the Irish Independent, said: “I want to be careful about jumping the gun because we had him signed, sealed and delivered to Celtic and that did not materialise. “I don’t really know if this is something that he is going to have a serious look at. “But if he is then I will definitely speak (again) to Paul Lambert – and see if that kind of role can be combined. “One thing I want to establish is what sort of in-depth conversations have gone on. “I have spoken to Paul Lambert. Paul has spoken to Roy about the possibility of it happening. “Nothing definitive has happened and I don’t really know what sort of commitment (the Villa position) would entail. “If he is actually a full-blooded assistant then that is something to consider. Press Association Republic of Ireland manager Martin O’Neill is open to the possibility of his assistant Roy Keane working at Aston Villa – but wants the issue resolved in the next few weeks. “I don’t mind it (speculation) going on for a week or two. Celtic wanted something in place as they have games coming up quite soon. “And I assume Aston Villa will want to get something in place by the time they start pre-season. “I don’t want it to be continued right through until August time.” 
highlights New Delhi : Imad Wasim’s 49 off 54 balls along with the brilliance of Shaheen Afridi helped Pakistan with a nail-biting three wicket win over inspiring Afghanistan at Headingley in Leeds. Chasing a stiff target of 227 runs, the men-in-green lost track in the middle overs and were slumped to 182 runs for the loss of six wickets. With 45 needed off 30 deliveries, Afghanistan was fancying their chances to register first win in the quadernnial tournament. However, in the 46th over, Gulbadin Naib, skipper of Afghanistan took the bowling duties and was hammered for 18 runs which eventually changed the course of the game and significantly pulled Pakistan back into the game. Eventually, Pakistan registered their fourth win in the tournament and now are just a win-away to make it to the semi-finals. Earlier in the day, Afghanistan opted to bat first after winning the toss but kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Despite starting well, they found themselves struggling at 57 runs for the loss of 3 wickets. Asghar Afghan counterattacked then and especially targetted wrist-spinner Shadab Khan. The former captain scored 42 runs and also strung a partnership of 64 runs with Ikram Ali Khil.But Shadab itself got the better of Afghan and even Ikram lost his way to leave the team reeling at 125/5. However, Mohammad Nabi and Najibullah Zadran showed heart to build a partnership again. Just when things looked like going their way, Nabi top-edged a Wahab Riaz bouncer. But Najibullah didn’t lose heart and played a fighting knock of 42 runs only to get out in the 45th over.Afghanistan couldn’t get the final flourish and could only reach 227 runs for the loss of 9 wickets after 50 overs. But they managed to make a thrilling game out of it and made Pakistan earn each and every run.In response, Fakhar Zaman and Imam Ul Haq started the proceeding for Pakistan. However, former’s stay at the wicket didn’t last long as Mujeeb Ur Rahan trapped the left-hander right in front to provide Afghanistan a dazzling start. Fakhar’s departure led Babar Azam to the crease, who continued his sensational run and strung a partnership of 72 runs with Imam Ul Haq. However, just when Pakistan looked to take the game away from Afghanistan, Mohammad Nabi sent the duo back to the pavilion in space of two overs. Eventually the middle order was exposed and Pakistan were six down for 156 runs. Imam and Shadab continued to believe in their skills and took the side close to victory. Shadab got run out in 47th over but Wahab Riaz, who was playing the game with a fractured finger showed intent to register an unbeaten winning partnership of 21 runs with Imad Wasim, which eventually helped team to cross winning line with two balls to spare.

The USC football team’s bye week came at the perfect time in the calendar, as Saturday marked the second year of the Andy Enfield era, kicking off with an exhibition game against Cal State Los Angeles. With all the buzz and hype surrounding the football team, it’s sometimes easy to forget that the Trojans have another national brand just across Figueroa at the Galen Center. This season especially, it seems like the Trojan basketball team is flying under the radar.The lack of fanfare surrounding the team is probably explainable by the Trojans’ record in conference play the last few seasons, combining to win just 12 conference games in the past three years. The fickle nature of L.A. sports fans is fairly evident in this regard. The lack of attention could be a good thing; going unnoticed could help the young team for many reasons. Much like the Pac-12 conference as a whole, the Trojan basketball team is on an upward trajectory.Without the national attention of a Kentucky or a Duke, USC’s players can use the early season and a soft non-conference schedule to feel each other out and start to develop some team chemistry. No one is expecting this year’s Trojans to be national title contenders right out of the gate, but they should be significantly better than last year’s team. If the team can battle competitively in all of their Pac-12 games and demonstrate they are on the right track under Enfield, this season will be a roaring success.Enfield took over a program last year that was devoid of talent. Over the last few years of his tenure, former coach Kevin O’Neill had been so focused on the present that he turned USC into Transfer University. The majority of the guys he brought in only had a few years left of eligibility, and the few freshmen he did bring in generally transferred pretty quickly. As it is, this year’s Trojan squad only has three juniors and zero seniors.Understanding this, it’s pretty hard to judge Coach Enfield on last season’s showing, as he was handed a roster that would have fared a lot better competing in the Sun Belt Conference or Horizon League. Though he did mitigate the roster deficiencies somewhat by bringing in sophomore guard Julian Jacobs and sophomore forward Nikola Jovanovic in his inaugural recruiting class, Enfield didn’t have the weapons to run his fast-paced offense effectively last season.This season is a completely different story. The Trojans brought in four talented freshmen prospects for the first time since 2010. Jacobs looks to have worked on his jump shot throughout the offseason. Already one of the most athletic guards in the conference, Jacobs will be one of the most dynamic and complete offensive players in the Pac-12 South if he is a threat to score from deep this season. Jovanovic is coming off a freshman year where he flashed glimpses of double-double potential. The lanky Serbian native appears to have added substantial strength in the offseason and will be a formidable presence on the block this year. His progression is eerily similar to that of former Trojan and current NBAer Nikola Vucevic thus far, and one can only hope his development continues to mirror Vucevic’s time as a Trojan.The Trojans will also be buoyed by the eligibility of two sophomore transfers, guard Katin Reinhardt and forward Darion Clark. Reinhardt, who played at Mater Dei, averaged double digits as a freshman at UNLV, while also displaying great court vision as he finished second on the team in assists. Clark, who was originally a USC commit, brings much-needed offensive prowess and unlimited range to the Trojans.Finally, Enfield’s first full recruiting class is led by Jordan McLaughlin, a highly touted local prospect who could soon be the court general that commands the high-octane offense that USC will run this season. Additionally, Malik Martin, Malik Marquetti and Elijah Stewart all provide immediate upgrades over the rotation players who filled their roles last season.The USC basketball team isn’t going to go from Pac-12 basement dweller to national powerhouse overnight. The team this year is laying the foundation for the Enfield era, where his “Dunk City” mentality will hopefully fill the Galen Center and bring much needed excitement back to the Trojans basketball program. Already, USC has secured the commitments of two recruits on the ESPN 100 list for next season.USC is a program on the rise and while nobody is really paying attention to the Trojans now, they could be a team to watch come this time next year. If USC can win eight or more games out of conference and go around .500 in conference play, the Trojans will be the team no one wants to play when February and March approach. One thing is for certain, though: From the first game against Portland State this Saturday night, this year’s USC team will be very entertaining to watch.Jake Davidson is a sophomore majoring in accounting.
