hrefhttps://theconversation.com/profiles/margaret-murray-1173544>Margaret Murray</a>, <a hrefhttps://theconversation.com/institutions/swinburne-university-of-technology-767>Swinburne University of Technology</a></em></p><p>This time of year, many of us love to get out and spend time in nature. This may include hiking through Australia’s many beautiful <a hrefhttps://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/conservation-and-heritage/national-parks/australias-national-parks>national parks</a>.</p><p>Walking in nature is a wonderful activity, supporting both <a hrefhttps://doi.org/10.1108/S2044-994120170000009004>physical</a> and <a hrefhttps://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12144-023-05112-z>mental health</a>. But there can be risks and it’s important to be prepared.</p><p>You may have read the news about hiker, Hadi Nazari, who was <a hrefhttps://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/jan/08/how-missing-hiker-survived-in-kosciuszko-national-park>recently found</a> alive after spending 13 days lost in Kosciuszko National Park.</p><p>He reportedly survived for almost two weeks in the Snowy Mountains region of New South Wales by drinking fresh water from creeks, and eating foraged berries and two muesli bars.</p><p>So next time you’re heading out for a day of hiking, what foods should you pack?</p><p>Here are my three top foods to carry on a bushwalk that are dense in nutrients and energy, lightweight and available from the local grocery store.</p><h2>1. Muesli bars</h2><p>Nazari <a hrefhttps://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/jan/09/hiker-who-left-museli-bars-in-kosciuszko-hut-hadi-nazari>reportedly ate</a> two muesli bars he found in a mountain hut. Whoever left the muesli bars there made a great choice.</p><p>Muesli bars come individually wrapped, which helps them last longer and makes them easy to transport.</p><p>They are also a good source of energy. Muesli bars typically contain about <a hrefhttps://afcd.foodstandards.gov.au/fooddetails.aspx?PFKIDF000333>1,500</a>-<a hrefhttps://afcd.foodstandards.gov.au/fooddetails.aspx?PFKIDF000344>1,900</a> kilojoules per 100 grams. The average energy content for a 35g bar is <a hrefhttps://doi.org/10.3390/foods8090370>about 614kJ</a>.</p><p>This may be <a hrefhttps://www.eatforhealth.gov.au/nutrient-reference-values/nutrients/dietary-energy>a fraction</a> of what you’d usually need in a day. However, the energy from muesli bars is released at a <a hrefhttps://glycemicindex.com/gi-search/?food_namemuesli+bar&amp;product_category&amp;country&amp;gi&amp;gi_filter&amp;serving_size_(g)&amp;serving_size_(g)_filter&amp;carbs_per_serve_(g)&amp;carbs_per_serve_(g)_filter&amp;gl&amp;gl_filter>slow to moderate pace</a>, which will help keep you going for longer.</p><p>Muesli bars are also <a hrefhttps://afcd.foodstandards.gov.au/fooddetails.aspx?PFKIDF000333>packed with nutrients</a>. They contain all three macronutrients (carbohydrate, protein and fat) that our body needs to function. They’re a good source of carbohydrates, in particular, which are a key energy source. An average Australian muesli bar contains <a hrefhttps://doi.org/10.3390/foods8090370>14g of whole grains</a>, which provide carbohydrates and dietary fibre for long-lasting energy.</p><p>Muesli bars that contain nuts <a hrefhttps://afcd.foodstandards.gov.au/fooddetails.aspx?PFKIDF000344>are typically</a> higher in fat (19.9g per 100g) and protein (9.4g per 100g) than <a hrefhttps://afcd.foodstandards.gov.au/fooddetails.aspx?PFKIDF000333>those without</a>.</p><p>Fat and protein are helpful for <a hrefhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16988118/>slowing down</a> the release of energy from foods and the protein will help keep you <a hrefhttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodhyd.2016.08.003>feeling full for longer</a>.</p><p>There are many different types of muesli bars to choose from. I recommend looking for those with whole grains, higher dietary fibre and higher protein content.</p><h2>2. Nuts</h2><p>Nuts are nature’s savoury snack and are also a great source of energy. Cashews, pistachios and peanuts contain about <a hrefhttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/6671761_Nuts_Source_of_energy_and_macronutrients#fullTextFileContent>2,300-2,400kJ per 100g</a> while Brazil nuts, pecans and macadamias contain about <a hrefhttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/6671761_Nuts_Source_of_energy_and_macronutrients#fullTextFileContent>2,700-3,000kJ per 100g</a>. So a 30g serving of nuts will provide about 700-900kJ depending on the type of nut.</p><p>Just like muesli bars, the energy from nuts <a hrefhttps://glycemicindex.com/gi-search/?food_namenut+&amp;product_categorynuts&amp;country&amp;gi&amp;gi_filter&amp;serving_size_(g)&amp;serving_size_(g)_filter&amp;carbs_per_serve_(g)&amp;carbs_per_serve_(g)_filter&amp;gl&amp;gl_filter>is released slowly</a>. So even a relatively small quantity will keep you powering on.</p><p>Nuts are also <a hrefhttps://www.mdpi.com/2304-8158/12/5/942>full of nutrients</a>, such as protein, fat and fibre, which will help to <a hrefhttps://doi.org/10.1080/10408398.2018.1514486>stave off hunger</a> and keep you moving for longer.</p><p>When choosing which nuts to pack, almost any type of nut is going to be great.</p><p>Peanuts are often the best value for money, or go for something like walnuts that are <a hrefhttps://afcd.foodstandards.gov.au/fooddetails.aspx?PFKIDF006116>high in omega-3 fatty acids</a>, or a nut mix.</p><p>Whichever nut you choose, go for the unsalted natural or roasted varieties. Salted nuts will make you thirsty.</p><p>Nut bars are also a great option and have the added benefit of coming in pre-packed serves (although nuts can also be easily packed into re-usable containers).</p><p>If you’re allergic to nuts, roasted chickpeas are another option. Just try to avoid those with added salt.</p><h2>3. Dried fruit</h2><p>If nuts are nature’s savoury snack, fruit is nature’s candy. Fresh fruits (such as grapes, frozen in advance) are wonderfully refreshing and perfect as an everyday snack, although can add a bit of weight to your hiking pack.</p><p>So if you’re looking to reduce the weight you’re carrying, go for dried fruit. It’s lighter and will withstand various conditions better than fresh fruit, so is less likely to spoil or bruise on the journey.</p><p>There are lots of varieties of dried fruits, such as sultanas, dried mango, dried apricots and dried apple slices.</p><p>These are good sources of <a hrefhttps://afcd.foodstandards.gov.au/fooddetails.aspx?PFKIDF008983>sugar for energy</a>, <a hrefhttps://doi.org/10.3390/nu10121833>fibre</a> for fullness and healthy digestion, and contain <a hrefhttp://dx.doi.org/10.12944/CRNFSJ.10.1.06>lots of vitamins and minerals</a>. So choose one (or a combination) that works for you.</p><h2>Don’t forget water</h2><p>Next time you head out hiking for the day, you’re all set with these easily available, lightweight, energy- and nutrient-dense snacks.</p><p>This is not the time to be overly concerned about limiting your sugar or fat intake. Hiking, particularly in rough terrain, places demands on your body and energy needs. For instance, an adult hiking in rough terrain can burn upwards <a hrefhttps://scholar.ufs.ac.za/server/api/core/bitstreams/eb9b5b76-bdfc-456f-b833-c3e285948e4a/content>of about</a> 2,000kJ per hour.</p><p>And of course, don’t forget to take plenty of water.</p><p>Having access to even limited food, and plenty of fresh water, will not only make your hike more pleasurable, it can save your life.<img styleborder: none !important; box-shadow: none !important; margin: 0 !important; max-height: 1px !important; max-width: 1px !important; min-height: 1px !important; min-width: 1px !important; opacity: 0 !important; outline: none !important; padding: 0 !important; srchttps://counter.theconversation.com/content/246968/count.gif?distributorrepublish-lightbox-basic altThe Conversation width1 height1 /></p><p><em><a hrefhttps://theconversation.com/profiles/margaret-murray-1173544>Margaret Murray</a>, Senior Lecturer, Nutrition, <a hrefhttps://theconversation.com/institutions/swinburne-university-of-technology-767>Swinburne University of Technology</a></em></p><p><em>Image credits: Shutterstock </em></p><p><em>This article is republished from <a hrefhttps://theconversation.com>The Conversation</a> under a Creative Commons license.

But if they didn’t, and you didn’t already have a credit card, you’d have to go to a bank and apply for one.</p><p>That would mean providing a range of supporting documents, negotiating an appropriate credit limit, and waiting for approval. It’s unlikely you’d apply for credit just for a single, small purchase.</p><p>In recent years, though, the financial technology or “fintech” revolution in the customer credit market has changed all that, with the meteoric rise of buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) services.</p><p>BNPL credit allows consumers to split their purchases into smaller, interest-free instalments. It is often directly integrated into online checkouts with fast approval, making it easy to purchase something instantly and spread the cost over coming months.</p><p>There are some obvious risks. Many BNPL providers charge less visible fees, such as late payment fees and account maintenance fees. In many countries, the BNPL sector is also less regulated than traditional credit.</p><p>But does it also change our spending habits? Our recent <a hrefhttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.jretai.2024.09.004>research</a> uncovered a concerning insight: consumers who use BNPL services end up spending more money online than those who don’t. This effect is particularly strong among younger shoppers and those with lower incomes.</p><h2>Our research</h2><p>We <a hrefhttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.jretai.2024.09.004>analysed</a> data from an online retailer in the Nordic region that offered customers three payment options for online purchases: card, pay on delivery and BNPL.</p><p>We found that consumers who used BNPL spent an average of 6.42% more than those who didn’t.</p><p>This increase was particularly noticeable for low-ticket items, suggesting that BNPL may encourage customers to buy more when shopping for smaller, everyday things.</p><p>Why might this be the case? For one, BPNL spending is constrained by the size of the loans on offer. In the US, the average BNPL loan amount is <a hrefhttps://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/documents/cfpb_consumer-use-of-buy-now-pay-later_2023-03.pdf>US$135</a> (A$217).</p><p>It may also be related to what’s known in economics as the “<a hrefhttps://www.theguardian.com/business/2008/dec/22/recession-cosmetics-lipstick>lipstick effect</a>”, where customers under financial strain tend to reduce spending on big-ticket items in favour of lower-priced luxuries.</p><p>Selling such low-ticket items doesn’t always give online retailers the biggest profit margins. But it can play a crucial role in acquiring and retaining customers, and creating opportunities to upsell.</p><p>Our research also showed that younger, lower-income customers were more likely to spend more when using BNPL services, likely because it provides them with additional “liquidity” – access to cash.</p><h2>Why might they be spending more?</h2><p>It’s easy to see why so many consumers like BNPL. Some even think of it as more of a way of payment than a form of credit.</p><p>The core feature of such services - offering interest-free instalment payments for online purchases - has a significant psychological impact on customers.</p><p>It leverages the principle that the perceived benefit of spending in the present outweighs the displeasure associated with future payments.</p><p>This behaviour aligns with theories of “hyperbolic discounting” – our preference for smaller immediate rewards over larger later ones – and the related “<a hrefhttps://www.behavioraleconomics.com/resources/mini-encyclopedia-of-be/present-bias/>present bias</a>” phenomenon.</p><p>Our results also suggest customers with high category experience – that is, more familiar with the larger product categories carried by a retailer – and those more sensitive to deals and promotions are likely to spend more when online retailers provide BNPL as a payment option.</p><h2>A growing influence on spending</h2><p>The economic impact of BNPL is substantial in the countries that have pioneered its adoption.</p><p>In Australia, birthplace of Afterpay, Zip, Openpay, and Latitude, it’s <a hrefhttps://www.oxfordeconomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/AFIA_BNPL_Research_Report-1.pdf>estimated</a> that (allowing for flow-on effects) BNPL services contributed A$14.3 billion to gross domestic product (GDP) in the 2021 financial year.</p><p>Industry research firm Juniper Research <a hrefhttps://www.juniperresearch.com/press/pressreleasesbuy-now-pay-later-users-to-exceed-670-million-globally/>projects</a> the number of BNPL users will exceed 670 million globally by 2028, an increase of more than 100% on current levels.</p><p>Substantial projected growth in the sector is attributed to multiple factors. These include increasing e-commerce usage, economic pressures, the flexibility of payment options and widespread adoption by merchants.</p><h2>Buyer, beware</h2><p>BNPL services can be a convenient way to pay for online purchases. But it’s important to use them responsibly.</p><p>That means understanding the potential risks and benefits to make your own informed decisions. Be mindful of your spending. Don’t let the allure of easy payments let you get carried away.</p><p>Customers should explore beyond the marketing tactics of interest-free split payments and pay close attention to terms and conditions, including any fees and penalties. They should treat BNPL like any other form of credit.</p><p>Whether you’re a shopper considering using BNPL or a business thinking about offering it, our research highlights that it may have the power to significantly influence spending patterns – for better or worse.<img styleborder: none !important; box-shadow: none !important; margin: 0 !important; max-height: 1px !important; max-width: 1px !important; min-height: 1px !important; min-width: 1px !important; opacity: 0 !important; outline: none !important; padding: 0 !important; srchttps://counter.theconversation.com/content/246686/count.gif?distributorrepublish-lightbox-basic altThe Conversation width1 height1 /></p><p><a hrefhttps://theconversation.com/profiles/ashish-kumar-1056067><em>Ashish Kumar</em></a><em>, Senior Lecturer, <a hrefhttps://theconversation.com/institutions/rmit-university-1063>RMIT University</a></em></p><p><em>Image credits: Shutterstock </em></p><p><em>This article is republished from <a hrefhttps://theconversation.com>The Conversation</a> under a Creative Commons license.

The incident occurred when One Nation leader Hanson attempted to refer former Labor senator Fatima Payman to a parliamentary committee over her dual Afghan citizenship, questioning her eligibility to sit in the upper house.</p><p>Senator Thorpe backed Senator Payman, yelling convicted racist at Senator Hanson as she threw torn-up documents at her. The outburst escalated when Senator Thorpe gave the middle finger over her shoulder as she walked out of the chamber.</p><p>Labor Senate leader Penny Wong moved the motion to oust Senator Thorpe until the end of Thursday, passing 46 votes to 11. The government, coalition, Senator Hanson, David Pocock and Ralph Babet voted in favour of the motion. Only the Greens stood against it, and while Senator Thorpes staff attended the vote, she did not.</p><p>Senator Wong then spoke about the need for a safe workplace, stating, All Australians have a right to be safe at work... This fortnight alone the senator has been censured, she has sworn in the chamber, repeatedly made offensive gestures when leaving the chamber and made comments resulting in First Nation senators from across this chamber feeling culturally unsafe, and all of that was prior to todays incident, which culminated in Senator Thorpe tearing up papers and throwing them at another senator on the Senate floor.</p><p>Defending the Greens decision, Senate leader Larissa Waters said, A number of our senators feel unsafe due to the conduct of Senator Thorpe. And a number of senators in this place feel unsafe due to the conduct of Senator Hanson. </p><p>This incident is the latest in a series of controversial actions by Senator Thorpe. She was recently censured by the upper house over her publicised protest against King Charles during the monarchs visit to Parliament House in October. During that incident, Thorpe shouted at the King, You committed genocide against our people; give us our land back; give us back what you stole from us … we want a treaty in this country.</p><p><em>Images: Nine News</em></p>/p>p _ngcontent-sc55>span _ngcontent-sc55 classtext-community>News/span>/p>/div>/div>/div>/a>/div>/article>!---->article _ngcontent-sc55 classcol-12 section-item>div _ngcontent-sc55 classpanel>a _ngcontent-sc55 hrefnews/news/world-reacts-as-donald-trump-wins-us-election>div _ngcontent-sc55 classrow>div _ngcontent-sc55 classcol-12 img-container>div _ngcontent-sc55 classimg-wrapper>img _ngcontent-sc55 altPlaceholder Content Image srchttps://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/2024/11/trump-againwtf.jpg>/div>/div>div _ngcontent-sc55 classcol-12 copy-container>div _ngcontent-sc55 classcopy-wrapper>h3 _ngcontent-sc55>World reacts as Donald Trump wins US election/h3>p _ngcontent-sc55><p>World leaders, celebrities and millions of Americans have shared their first reactions and messages of support - or messages of anger, upset and frustration - as Donald Trump claimed his victory in the US election. </p><p>The Republican leader won both the electoral college vote and the popular vote, taking a hold of the majority of key swing states, as his victory just hours after the polls closed. </p><p>The win will see Trump re-enter the White House in January as the 47th President, making him the only president to serve two non-consecutive terms in office. </p><p>Reactions to the unprecedented win flooded online spaces, with world leaders sending their congratulations. </p><p>Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the election of the US president marked an important moment for Australia and the Asia Pacific region, and vowed to work closely with the Trump administration.</p><p>“Australia and America are old allies and we are true friends,” he said. “Our nations are bound by a history of shared sacrifice, a commitment to common values and — above all — enduring respect and affection between our peoples.</p><p>“I look forward to talking with President Trump and working with him in the best interests of both our nations.”</p><p>Opposition Leader Peter Dutton also extended his congratulations to the Republican leader on behalf of the federal Coalition, describing the US as an “overwhelming force for good”.</p><p>Unsurprisingly, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was among the first to speak to Trump, writing on X, “Congratulations on history’s greatest comeback!”</p><p>“Your historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America and a powerful recommitment to the great alliance between Israel and America.

I could live in any of them. </p><p>I loved the ratio of people to wide open spaces. Dunedin was my favourite city, but any of the smaller towns have a lot to recommend them. I also love the cooler weather. Very expensive, though, another commented. </p><p><strong>Nicosia, Cyprus</strong></p><p>Others were attracted to the bustling city of Nicosia, with many praising the citys weather and walkability as a plus. </p><p>Cypriots are, in general, friendly and down-to-earth people. Nicosia is a capital city with a small-town feel. </p><p><strong>London, UK</strong></p><p>While people were divided about retiring in the iconic destination because of the high prices, others praised it for the metropolitan atmosphere </p><p>Tons of free museums, easy to get around on local buses and Tube, great train links to many places. Free and cheap educational opportunities. Only problem is the cost of housing. </p><p><strong>Scotland </strong></p><p>The citys slow and beautiful lifestyle makes it a dream retirement spot for many. </p><p>I did a house sit in Selkirk, just north of Edinburgh. I could live there very happily. There’s a proper high street with newsagent, butcher, bakery, small grocer. There’s a small loch to walk the dogs around. I left a bit of my heart there, one said. </p><p>Any of the little villages on the Isle of Skye. It’s the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen. The people are unbelievably warm and welcoming, another added. </p><p><strong>Singapore</strong></p><p>For a few people who have visited the city, the food, climate, convenient life and very good public security were some of the plus points listed by travellers. </p><p><strong>Annecy, France </strong></p><p>The Alpine town had a lot of travellers interest with any praising its beauty and convenience. </p><p>Currently in Annecy for an extended period and it has shot up to my number one as well. I had never heard of it before coming here, but it’s got quite the magical charm about it. Great location as well, one said. </p><p>The perfection of the edge of a stunning lake and the base of the French Alps. And only 40 minutes from Geneva Airport, another added. </p><p>A few other locations mentioned in the thread included the southern Mexican city of Oaxaca, praised for its relaxed lifestyle, and San Diego, USA, praised for its city lifestyle and beautiful beaches. </p><p><em>Image: </em><em>Collection Maykova / Shutterstock.com</em></p><p> </p>/p>p _ngcontent-sc55>span _ngcontent-sc55 classtext-community>International Travel/span>/p>/div>/div>/div>/a>/div>/article>!---->!---->/div>/div>section _ngcontent-sc55 app-ad-unit _nghost-sc22 classad-space row>div _ngcontent-sc22 appscrolldirective>/div>!---->div _ngcontent-sc22 classcol-12 fuse-mobile-center>div _ngcontent-sc22 classadvert-container data-fuse21721424236>/div>/div>/section>div _ngcontent-sc55 classcol-12 hp-section-list feature-list>div _ngcontent-sc55 classhp-section-title health>h4 _ngcontent-sc55>Health/h4>/div>div _ngcontent-sc55 classrow>article _ngcontent-sc55 classcol-12 section-item>div _ngcontent-sc55 classpanel>a _ngcontent-sc55 hrefhealth/body/what-is-reformer-pilates-and-is-it-worth-the-cost>div _ngcontent-sc55 classrow>div _ngcontent-sc55 classcol-12 img-container>div _ngcontent-sc55 classimg-wrapper>img _ngcontent-sc55 altPlaceholder Content Image srchttps://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/2025/01/reformer-explainer.jpg>/div>/div>div _ngcontent-sc55 classcol-12 copy-container>div _ngcontent-sc55 classcopy-wrapper>h3 _ngcontent-sc55>What is reformer pilates?

And how does it compare with regular pilates and other types of exercise?</p><p>Classes aren’t cheap so let’s look at the potential benefits and drawbacks to help you decide if it’s right for you.</p><h2>Pilates with special equipment</h2><p>Pilates is a <a hrefhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1360859201902372>mode of exercise</a> that focuses on core stability and flexibility, while also addressing muscular strength and endurance, balance and general fitness. At first glance, it might look a bit like yoga, with some more traditional weight training components thrown in.</p><p>Reformer pilates uses a piece of equipment called a “reformer”. This looks like a narrow bed that slides along a carriage, has straps to hold onto, and has adjustable springs that add resistance to movement. You perform pilates on the reformer to target specific muscle groups and movement patterns.</p><p>The reformer was first designed to help <a hrefhttps://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.4324/9781003524625-19/pilates-rehabilitation-brent-anderson>people recover from injuries</a>. However, it has now become common for general fitness and even <a hrefhttps://journals.sagepub.com/doi/epdf/10.1177/1089313X06010003-406>sports performance</a>.</p><p>Unlike normal pilates, also known as “mat pilates”, which only uses your body weight, the reformer adds resistance, meaning you can change the difficulty according to your current level of fitness.</p><p>This not only provides a way to overload your muscles, but can make the exercise session more aerobically demanding, which has been proposed to <a hrefhttps://figshare.utas.edu.au/articles/journal_contribution/Equipment-based_pilates_induces_a_cardiovascular_response_in_older_adults_an_observational_clinical_trial/22943213?file40678763>improve cardiovascular fitness</a>.</p><h2>What are the benefits of reformer pilates?</h2><p>Despite being around for decades, there is surprisingly little research looking at the benefits of reformer pilates. However, what we have seen so far suggests it has a similar effect to other modes of exercise.</p><p>Reformer pilates has been shown to help with <a hrefhttps://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1250306.pdf>weight loss</a>, cause some <a hrefhttps://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03630242.2015.1118723?casa_tokenweWacL5JmM8AAAAA%3AjlXtB-o29eDTHNegdvvfxa9FUT1iY18T0niXDdDpzgbn9AhMK4fgF1RQWLwyo3tVic49h9vhH4Ux>small increases in muscle mass</a>, and enhance <a hrefhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1360859224004558?casa_tokenrEKoc-x8WoMAAAAA:Zvgqtp7SPNbWoTtxRb8-x5HCy0XD2M74Ky-7bBU2yFgGMOnyw2aJQDKCdep40AqRobWgR0V3yA>cognitive function</a>. All of these benefits are commonly seen when combining weight training and cardio into the same routine.</p><p>Similarly, among <a hrefhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1360859217302280?casa_tokentxnU400G7DQAAAAA:KQLBRYBWuZ0asqaOJ4agUKZj2nFljuxFvCQFZeZQh53h0ZIp07qJ_4TuyCQto4c-BB1kzMpWug>older adults</a>, it has been shown to improve strength, enhance flexibility and may even reduce the risk of falling.</p><p>From a rehabilitation perspective, there is some evidence indicating reformer pilates can improve <a hrefhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1360859216300857?casa_tokentQyxWGoPam8AAAAA:jlIpAr2ZuD3bjKKtT4qHbDz2dr_Tm2k4Cgb22qw_NQRb5gtLsJdYV7P0DuRlVWN04kI9p_dSOQ>shoulder health and function</a>, reduce <a hrefhttp://www.jkspm.org/journal/view.html?uid1105&amp;&amp;vmdFull>lower back pain</a> and <a hrefhttps://ksep-es.org/journal/view.php?number1084>increase flexibility</a>.</p><p>Finally, there is some evidence suggesting a single session of reformer pilates can improve two key markers of <a hrefhttps://karger.com/ger/article-abstract/70/7/764/906990/Effect-of-60-Min-Single-Bout-of-Resistance>cardiovascular health</a>, being flow-mediated dilation and pulse wave velocity, while also <a hrefhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9098105/>improving cholesterol and insulin levels</a>. This suggests reformer pilates could lead to long-term improvements in heart and metabolic health, although more research is needed to confirm this.</p><p>However, there are some key things to consider when discussing these benefits. Most of this research is quite exploratory and comes from a very small number of studies. So we do not know whether these findings will apply to everyone.</p><p>Very few studies compared reformer pilates to other types of exercise. Therefore, while it can improve most aspects of health and function, it’s unlikely reformer pilates provides the <em>optimal</em> mode of exercise for each individual component of physical fitness.</p><p>Traditional weight training, for example, will likely cause larger improvements in strength than reformer pilates. Similarly, stretching will <a hrefhttps://theconversation.com/new-research-shows-how-long-hard-and-often-you-need-to-stretch-to-improve-your-flexibility-242488>probably make you more flexible</a>. And running or cycling will make you fitter.</p><p>However, if you want a type of exercise that gives you broad overall health benefits, it could be a good option.</p><h2>What are the downsides of reformer pilates</h2><p>Reformer pilates is not for everyone.</p><p>First and foremost, classes can be expensive compared to other fitness options. You need to be doing at least two to three sessions per week of any type of exercise to <a hrefhttps://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240015128>maximise the benefits</a>. So even if you can find a class for A$20 or $30, paying for two or three classes a week (or buying a weekly or monthly subscription) is a significant outlay.</p><p>Second, it’s not as accessible as other exercise. Even if you can afford it, not every town or suburb has a reformer pilates studio.</p><p>Third, the effectiveness of your workout is likely to be impacted by how competent your instructor is. There are a host of different pilates qualifications you can get in Australia, and some take much less time than others. With this in mind, it might be best to look for <a hrefhttps://www.pilates.org.au/about/>accredited pilates instructors</a>, although this will further reduce the number of options you have available.</p><p>Finally, there is a learning curve. While you will get better over time, the exercise will likely be less effective during those first few weeks (or months) when you are getting used to the machine and the movements.</p><h2>Is it right for you?</h2><p>Reformer pilates can be a great addition to your fitness routine, especially if you’re looking for a low-impact way to build strength and flexibility.</p><p>But if you have more specific goals, you might need a more specific mode of exercise. For example, if you need to get stronger to improve your ability to manage your daily life, then strength training is probably your best bet. Likewise, if your goal is to run a marathon, you will get more specific benefits from running.</p><p>The cost and availability of reformer pilates make it less accessible for some people. With this in mind, if you are after similar benefits at a lower price point, mat pilates might be a better option. Not only does it have evidence suggesting it can improve <a hrefhttps://journals.lww.com/ajpmr/FullText/2018/06000/Effects_of_Mat_Pilates_on_Physical_Functional.6.aspx?casa_token7s6iayoW_s4AAAAA:ajVm-FSTsMeUsuUVH4fpv63bQb_eN0DgduCw7K83K4IlJ3OSQyNKCeoWb_tQZhEV3dRDa3dXwPYE7euORvMAwLM&amp;casa_tokenzUcAB1qT0a4AAAAA:KpwLVGmBXbLo0es1xEBF7SAJPIBy6mKoVzCWOLiFFHAnn4LbGHA3febsR9jhygDyNsNnobmKM2ukMJNPGixdypY>strength and fitness</a>, but it is something you can do at home if you find a good resource (<a hrefhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v44HquH6QyXc>YouTube</a> could be a good starting point here).</p><p><em><a hrefhttps://theconversation.com/profiles/hunter-bennett-1053061>Hunter Bennett</a>, Lecturer in Exercise Science, <a hrefhttps://theconversation.com/institutions/university-of-south-australia-1180>University of South Australia</a>; <a hrefhttps://theconversation.com/profiles/jacinta-brinsley-1419359>Jacinta Brinsley</a>, Exercise Physiologist and Postdoctoral Researcher in the Alliance for Research in Nutrition, Exercise and Activity, <a hrefhttps://theconversation.com/institutions/university-of-south-australia-1180>University of South Australia</a>, and <a hrefhttps://theconversation.com/profiles/lewis-ingram-1427671>Lewis Ingram</a>, Lecturer in Physiotherapy, <a hrefhttps://theconversation.com/institutions/university-of-south-australia-1180>University of South Australia</a></em></p><p><em>Image credits: Shutterstock </em></p><p><em>This article is republished from <a hrefhttps://theconversation.com>The Conversation</a> under a Creative Commons license.

There are also some conditions which affect women more than men, such as <a hrefhttps://theconversation.com/how-biological-differences-between-men-and-women-alter-immune-responses-and-affect-womens-health-208802>autoimmune conditions</a> (for example, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis).</p><p>Further, medical treatments can sometimes be <a hrefhttps://aci.health.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/967984/CIU-Evidence-Brief-Gender-disparity-and-gender-equality-measures-in-health.pdf>less effective for women</a> due to a focus on men in medical research.</p><p>These disparities are likely significant in understanding why women <a hrefhttps://grattan.edu.au/news/healthcare-out-of-pocket-costs-an-agenda-for-international-womens-day/>access health services</a> more than men.</p><p>For example, <a hrefhttps://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/men-women/female-health/contents/access-health-care>88% of women</a> saw a GP in 2021–22 compared to <a hrefhttps://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/men-women/male-health/contents/access-health-care>79% of men</a>.</p><p>As the number of GPs <a hrefhttps://practices.hotdoc.com.au/blog/the-decline-of-bulk-billing-and-its-impact-on-general-practice-in-australia/#:%7E:textThe%20Medicare%20rebate%20for%20patients,to%20ensure%20their%20financial%20sustainability.>offering bulk billing</a> continues to decline, women are likely to need to pay more out-of-pocket, because they <a hrefhttps://www.aihw.gov.au/getmedia/32ea8a7f-50d5-4047-b70b-92dd63d387b8/aihw-phe239-240-factsheet.pdf.aspx>see a GP more often</a>.</p><p>In 2020–21, <a hrefhttps://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/men-women/female-health/contents/access-health-care>4.3% of women</a> said they had delayed seeing a GP due to cost at least once in the previous 12 months, compared to <a hrefhttps://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/men-women/male-health/contents/access-health-care>2.7% of men</a>.</p><p>Data from the <a hrefhttps://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/health/health-services/patient-experiences/2020-21>Australian Bureau of Statistics</a> has also shown women are more likely to delay or avoid seeing a mental health professional due to cost.</p><p>Women are also more likely to need prescription medications, owing at least partly to their increased rates of chronic conditions.

In 2020–21, <a hrefhttps://grattan.edu.au/news/healthcare-out-of-pocket-costs-an-agenda-for-international-womens-day/>62% of women</a> received a prescription, compared to 37% of men.</p><p>In the same period, <a hrefhttps://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/men-women/female-health/contents/access-health-care>6.1% of women</a> delayed getting, or did not get prescribed medication because of the cost, compared to <a hrefhttps://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/men-women/male-health/contents/access-health-care>4.9% of men</a>.</p><h2>Reproductive health conditions</h2><p>While women are disproportionately affected by chronic health conditions throughout their lifespan, much of the disparity in health-care needs is concentrated between the first period and menopause.</p><p>Almost <a hrefhttps://www.jeanhailes.org.au/news/impact-of-pelvic-pain-vastly-underestimated>half of women</a> aged over 18 report having experienced chronic pelvic pain in the previous five years. This can be caused by conditions such as endometriosis, dysmenorrhoea (period pain), vulvodynia (vulva pain), and bladder pain.</p><p><a hrefhttps://www.aihw.gov.au/news-media/media-releases/2023/2023-september/1-in-7-australian-women-aged-44-49-have-endometriosis>One in seven women</a> will have a diagnosis of endometriosis by age 49.</p><p>Meanwhile, a quarter of all women aged 45–64 <a hrefhttps://www.jeanhailes.org.au/research/womens-health-survey/menopause-in-australian-women>report symptoms</a> related to menopause that are significant enough to disrupt their daily life.</p><p>All of these conditions can significantly reduce quality of life and increase the need to seek health care, sometimes including surgical treatment.</p><p>Of course, conditions like endometriosis don’t just affect women. They also impact <a hrefhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10501128/>trans men</a>, intersex people, and those who are gender diverse.</p><h2>Diagnosis can be costly</h2><p>Women often have to wait <a hrefhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9518795/>longer to get a diagnosis</a> for chronic conditions. One <a hrefhttps://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.10.12.23296976v2.full-text>preprint study</a> found women wait an average of 134 days (around 4.5 months) longer than men for a diagnosis of a long-term chronic disease.</p><p>Delays in diagnosis often result in <a hrefhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33004965/>needing to see more doctors</a>, again increasing the costs.</p><p>Despite affecting about as many people as diabetes, it takes an average of between <a hrefhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33050751/>six-and-a-half</a> to <a hrefhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33004965/>eight years</a> to diagnose endometriosis in Australia. This can be attributed to a <a hrefhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35928674/>number of factors</a> including society’s normalisation of women’s pain, poor knowledge about endometriosis among some health professionals, and the lack of affordable, non-invasive methods to accurately diagnose the condition.</p><p>There have been recent improvements, with the introduction of <a hrefhttps://www.health.gov.au/ministers/the-hon-mark-butler-mp/media/historic-medicare-changes-for-women-battling-endometriosis#:%7E:textIn%20addition%20to%20the%20specialised,with%20complex%20histories%20and%20symptoms.>Medicare rebates for longer GP consultations</a> of up to 60 minutes. While this is not only for women, this extra time will be valuable in diagnosing and managing complex conditions.</p><p>But gender inequality issues still exist in the Medicare Benefits Schedule. For example, both pelvic and breast ultrasound rebates are <a hrefhttps://womensagenda.com.au/latest/the-gender-medicare-gap-is-seeing-women-pay-more-for-ultrasounds-and-other-health-services/>less than a scan for the scrotum</a>, and <a hrefhttps://www.endozone.com.au/treatment/MRI>no rebate</a> exists for the MRI investigation of a woman’s pelvic pain.</p><h2>Management can be expensive too</h2><p>Many chronic conditions, <a hrefhttps://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/0167482X.2020.1825374?casa_tokenyIlFZg_vJxsAAAAA%3ALwSa5DBMoDDWTiZsU1FC0MLLXkDd_eWBrGa2gr8b6NeRevp4ynlsTD_IMMYV_ek766j2P5C-B4Qy#d1e167>such as endometriosis</a>, which has a wide range of symptoms but no cure, can be very hard to manage. People with endometriosis often use allied health and <a hrefhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/imj.15494?casa_token1sc4ZMGvDjIAAAAA%3AIrIY2B-RNVDDnUPMSsHI4axnBiTv-omNDHGlNSpsrm_qbMGY9iQ4htIyco5mj-Qhd7krsp7rfHtcbQ>complementary medicine</a> to help with symptoms.</p><p>On average, women are more likely than men to use both <a hrefhttps://www.racgp.org.au/afp/2017/may/patterns-of-complementary-and-alternative-medi-2>complementary therapies</a> and <a hrefhttps://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/primary-health-care/general-practice-allied-health-primary-care>allied health</a>.</p><p>While women with chronic conditions can access a <a hrefhttps://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/chronic-disease-management-plan?context20>chronic disease management plan</a>, which provides Medicare-subsidised visits to a range of allied health services (for example, physiotherapist, psychologist, dietitian), this plan only subsidises five sessions per calendar year. And the reimbursement is <a hrefhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9346321/>usually around 50% or less</a>, so there are still significant out-of-pocket costs.</p><p>In the case of chronic pelvic pain, the cost of accessing allied or complementary health services has been found to average <a hrefhttps://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12905-022-01618-z>A$480.32 across a two-month period</a> (across both those who have a chronic disease management plan and those who don’t).</p><h2>More spending, less saving</h2><p>Womens’ health-care needs can also perpetuate financial strain beyond direct health-care costs. For example, <a hrefhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31600241>women with endometriosis</a> and chronic pelvic pain are often caught in a cycle of needing time off from work to attend medical appointments.</p><p>Our <a hrefhttps://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-5480104/v1>preliminary research</a> has shown these repeated requests, combined with the common dismissal of symptoms associated with pelvic pain, means women sometimes face discrimination at work. This can lead to lack of career progression, underemployment, and premature retirement.</p><p>Similarly, with <a hrefhttps://www.superannuation.asn.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/ASFAResearch_ImpactofMenopauseOnRetirement_080324.pdf>160,000 women</a> entering menopause each year in Australia (and this number expected to increase with population growth), the <a hrefhttps://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Senate/Community_Affairs/Menopause/Report/Chapter_3_-_Impact_on_work_and_the_economic_consequences_of_menopause#:%7E:text3.1This%20chapter%20explores%20the,on%20partners%20or%20family%20members.>financial impacts</a> are substantial.</p><p>As many as <a hrefhttps://www.superannuation.asn.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/ASFAResearch_ImpactofMenopauseOnRetirement_080324.pdf>one in four women</a> may either shift to part-time work, take time out of the workforce, or retire early due to menopause, therefore earning less and paying less into their super.</p><h2>How can we close this gap?</h2><p>Even though women are more prone to chronic conditions, until relatively recently, much of medical research has been <a hrefhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8812498/>done on men</a>. We’re only now beginning to realise important differences in how men and women experience certain conditions (such as <a hrefhttps://www.annualreviews.org/content/journals/10.1146/annurev-neuro-092820-105941>chronic pain</a>).</p><p>Investing in women’s health research will be important to improve treatments so women are less burdened by chronic conditions.</p><p>In the 2024–25 federal budget, the government committed $160 million towards <a hrefhttps://www.health.gov.au/ministers/the-hon-ged-kearney-mp/media/reforming-the-health-system-to-improve-sexual-and-reproductive-care>a women’s health package</a> to tackle gender bias in the health system (including cost disparities), upskill medical professionals, and improve sexual and reproductive care.</p><p>While this reform is welcome, continued, long-term investment into women’s health is crucial.<img styleborder: none !important; box-shadow: none !important; margin: 0 !important; max-height: 1px !important; max-width: 1px !important; min-height: 1px !important; min-width: 1px !important; opacity: 0 !important; outline: none !important; padding: 0 !important; srchttps://counter.theconversation.com/content/243797/count.gif?distributorrepublish-lightbox-basic altThe Conversation width1 height1 /></p><p><a hrefhttps://theconversation.com/profiles/mike-armour-391382><em>Mike Armour</em></a><em>, Associate Professor at NICM Health Research Institute, <a hrefhttps://theconversation.com/institutions/western-sydney-university-1092>Western Sydney University</a>; <a hrefhttps://theconversation.com/profiles/amelia-mardon-1505419>Amelia Mardon</a>, Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Reproductive Health, <a hrefhttps://theconversation.com/institutions/western-sydney-university-1092>Western Sydney University</a>; <a hrefhttps://theconversation.com/profiles/danielle-howe-1492317>Danielle Howe</a>, PhD Candidate, NICM Health Research Institute, <a hrefhttps://theconversation.com/institutions/western-sydney-university-1092>Western Sydney University</a>; <a hrefhttps://theconversation.com/profiles/hannah-adler-1533549>Hannah Adler</a>, PhD Candidate, Health Communication and Health Sociology, <a hrefhttps://theconversation.com/institutions/griffith-university-828>Griffith University</a>, and <a hrefhttps://theconversation.com/profiles/michelle-oshea-457947>Michelle OShea</a>, Senior Lecturer, School of Business, <a hrefhttps://theconversation.com/institutions/western-sydney-university-1092>Western Sydney University</a></em></p><p><em>Image credits: Shutterstock </em></p><p><em>This article is republished from <a hrefhttps://theconversation.com>The Conversation</a> under a Creative Commons license.

I knew that I have doubles so I kind of was taking everything in tonight, in those moments, it was nuts.</p><p>“I didn’t want to just throw in the towel and walk off or retire. I was hurting physically but I respect my opponent and the fans that waited hours to come see me play.”</p><p>He later added: “Honestly, the reason I kept playing, tried to play tonight, was because of the fans. As I said, I don’t know how many times I’m going to be back here again.</p><p>“That’s why I didn’t have headphones on, I wasn’t listening to music. I walked out there today, wanted to hear the crowd. There were some special moments.”</p><p>Kyrgios still plans to team up with Thanasi Kokkinakis in the doubles and will continue to play out the season in singles.</p><p>“It’s hard.

As the weather warms, many of us reach for light-coloured clothes in natural fabrics, such as cotton and linen.</p><p>But why are natural fabrics like these so much better at keeping us cool when the weather is hot?</p><p>Here’s what the science says.</p><h2>Natural fabrics and sweat: a match made in heaven</h2><p>In hot weather, we sweat. As sweat evaporates, it carries heat away, which helps cool the body down.</p><p>In hot weather, then, we want clothes that help take moisture away from the body as efficiently as possible.</p><p>Natural fabrics are made using fibres extracted from plant- or animal-based sources such as cotton, linen, hemp, wool and silk.</p><p>The primary component of all plant-based fibres is cellulose. Animal-based fibres are made up of proteins such as keratin and silk fibroin.</p><p>Cellulose molecules are rich in compounds called hydroxyl groups that attract water and moisture. In scientific terms, they are hydrophilic – they love water.</p><p>So, clothing made of cotton and linen is highly hydrophilic. It tends to absorb moisture and disperse it across the fabric, allowing it to evaporate more easily.</p><p>This takes the sweat away quickly, making it more comfortable and breathable and allowing us to stay cool in sweltering temperatures.</p><p>One downside of the natural fabrics is they wrinkle quickly (some people, of course, like that look).</p><p>And on a really hot, sweaty day, natural fabrics can get heavy and wet.</p><p>Animal fibres are basically proteins, and their properties vary depending on the source.</p><p>Wool has been bio-engineered over millions of years to be comfortable to wear. Wool fibres are hydrophilic on the inside and hydrophobic on the outside, meaning they’re both water resistant and good at wicking moisture away.</p><p>On the other hand, silk fabrics are very good at helping regulate temperature; they keep us cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather.</p><h2>Synthetic fabrics: less wrinkly, more sweaty</h2><p>Synthetic fabrics, on the other hand, are lighter and tend to wrinkle less.</p><p>Common synthetic fabrics (such as polyester, nylon and acrylic) are all made from petroleum-based chemicals.</p><p>Most synthetic fibres are made of long chains of hydrogen and carbon atoms and do not contain the hydroxyl groups we discussed earlier.</p><p>Such fibres are therefore hydrophobic – they hate water. This means the water can’t spread evenly across the fabric and evaporate easily.</p><p>They trap sweat against the skin, making the clothes less breathable and comfortable when the weather is warm and humid.</p><p>However, some synthetic fabrics used in certain types of active wear can wick sweat away from body.</p><p>And some semi-synthetic fabrics such as rayon or tencel (which are made from wood pulp or cotton with synthetic fibres) are more breathable than other synthetic fabrics such as polyester or nylon.</p><h2>Fabric weave makes a difference, too</h2><p>The colour of the clothing is also a contributing factor to keep you cool during summer. Light colours reflect sunlight away from you and help to keep the body cooler.</p><p>There is some evidence dark colours absorb the <a hrefhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214157X23012054>sunlight and associated heat</a>, making the surface of the skin warmer than normal.</p><p>Another factor affecting breathability and comfort of clothing is the way the fabrics are woven.</p><p>Fabrics that are loosely woven (sometimes known as “open weave”) with thinner materials naturally have more airflow, which helps you keep cool.</p><p>For a quick, non-scientific test, hold a fabric up and see how much light passes through it. The more light you can see, the more breathable it likely is.</p><p>The way the fabric is treated can play a role, too; such as for softening and wrinkle resistance.</p><p>Using a fabric softener when you do a load of laundry usually doesn’t affect fabric breathability; softeners modify the surface of the fabric but don’t change the internal structure or porous nature of the fabrics.</p><p>Wrinkle resistance is the ability of the fabric to stay smooth and polished even after washing. Synthetic fabrics are inherently wrinkle resistant. Natural fibres are more prone to wrinkles but can be chemically treated on the fabric surface during manufacturing to make them wrinkle resistant.</p><p>Such treatments, however, may form layers on top of the fabric blocking the airflow, leading them to be less breathable.<img styleborder: none !important; box-shadow: none !important; margin: 0 !important; max-height: 1px !important; max-width: 1px !important; min-height: 1px !important; min-width: 1px !important; opacity: 0 !important; outline: none !important; padding: 0 !important; srchttps://counter.theconversation.com/content/240909/count.gif?distributorrepublish-lightbox-basic altThe Conversation width1 height1 /></p><p><em><a hrefhttps://theconversation.com/profiles/nisa-salim-1442233>Nisa Salim</a>, Senior Lecturer at the School of Engineering, <a hrefhttps://theconversation.com/institutions/swinburne-university-of-technology-767>Swinburne University of Technology</a></em></p><p><em>Image credits: Shutterstock</em></p><p><em>This article is republished from <a hrefhttps://theconversation.com>The Conversation</a> under a Creative Commons license.

Girl from the North Country by Eels</h2><p>Girl from the North Country first appeared on Dylan’s 1963 album The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan. But it featured again on <a hrefhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?vJe4Eg77YSSA>Nashville Skyline</a> in 1969 as a duet with Johnny Cash. That version has been praised for the <a hrefhttps://www.musicradar.com/news/bob-dylan-making-of-nashville-skyline>skip and groove of the acoustic guitar performances</a> and how Dylan and Cash’s vocals are <a hrefhttps://www.musicradar.com/news/bob-dylan-making-of-nashville-skyline>instinctive and spontaneous</a>.</p><p>Another view would be that the guitars are out of time and the vocals are under-rehearsed – and the same shortcomings are on display during the song’s performance on the <a hrefhttps://faroutmagazine.co.uk/johnny-cash-bob-dylan-duet-girl-north-country/>Johnny Cash show</a>. Far superior in my humble opinion is the 2005 version by alt-rock band Eels.</p><figure><iframe srchttps://www.youtube.com/embed/OOCOxRIB2Zo?wmodetransparent&start0 width440 height260 frameborder0 allowfullscreenallowfullscreen></iframe><figcaption><span classcaption>Girl from the North Country by Eels.</span></figcaption></figure><p>The band performed the song for their <a hrefhttps://www.dailymotion.com/video/xv3eel>Eels with Strings: Live at Town Hall</a> DVD and album.

He keeps in time, too.</p><h2>2. Mr Tambourine Man by The Byrds</h2><p>A masterclass in lyric writing, Mr Tambourine Man (1965) saw Dylan <a hrefhttps://genius.com/Bob-dylan-mr-tambourine-man-lyrics>flexing his linguistic muscles</a> to reel off dozens of intricate internal and end rhymes, including my personal favourite:</p><blockquote><p>Though I know that evening’s empire has returned into sand<br />Vanished from my hand<br />Left me blindly here to stand, but still not sleeping.</p></blockquote><p>The Byrds’ version, released in the same year and hitting number one in both the US and the UK, isn’t better than the brilliant original (how could it be?) but it is brilliantly different.</p><figure><iframe srchttps://www.youtube.com/embed/Swqw5a8I4b4?wmodetransparent&start0 width440 height260 frameborder0 allowfullscreenallowfullscreen></iframe><figcaption><span classcaption>The Byrds’ version of Mr Tambourine Man.</span></figcaption></figure><p>Abridging Dylan’s version in order to make for a more palatable running time for the singles market, what it lacks in lyrics it more than makes up for in melody. The harmonies in the chorus add to Dylan’s main vocal line. It was an era-defining moment that launched the folk-rock genre.</p><h2>3. All Along The Watchtower by The Jimi Hendrix Experience</h2><p>Dylan may have released the <a hrefhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?vbT7Hj-ea0VE>original version</a> of All Along The Watchtower on his John Wesley Harding album in 1967, but it was <a hrefhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?vTLV4_xaYynY>The Jimi Hendrix Experience’s cover</a>, released just six months later, which has largely been accepted as the definitive recording.</p><figure><iframe srchttps://www.youtube.com/embed/NdSyFxTDQUM?wmodetransparent&start0 width440 height260 frameborder0 allowfullscreenallowfullscreen></iframe><figcaption><span classcaption>All Along the Watchtower performed by Jimi Hendrix.</span></figcaption></figure><p>Taking Dylan’s gentle acoustic guitar and harmonica number and feeding it through his legendary white Strat, Hendrix rocks seven shades of summer out of the song until it takes on a completely new life.</p><p>So great was his reinterpretation (it seems derisive to merely label it a “cover”) that as well as being ranked at number 40 in Rolling Stone’s <a hrefhttps://au.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-songs-of-all-time-30065/the-jimi-hendrix-experience-all-along-the-watchtower-30527/>500 Greatest Songs of All Time</a> list, Dylan amended the song’s structure for <a hrefhttps://faroutmagazine.co.uk/what-did-bob-dylan-think-jimi-hendrix-version-along-the-watchtower/>later live performances</a> in order for it to be more like Hendrix’s.</p><h2>4. If Not For You by George Harrison</h2><p>Granted, I only heard Dylan’s recording of <a hrefhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?vyyouhbgAiCA>If Not For You</a> after already being familiar with George Harrison’s version included on his 1970 album <a hrefhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?vXscuV_R6tr4>All Things Must Pass</a> for several years, so it was always going to feel slightly foreign to me.</p><figure><iframe srchttps://www.youtube.com/embed/E28E1hEZN8g?wmodetransparent&start0 width440 height260 frameborder0 allowfullscreenallowfullscreen></iframe><figcaption><span classcaption>George Harrison performs If Not For You.</span></figcaption></figure><p>What I wasn’t expecting, though, was how unimpressive and <a hrefhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?vyyouhbgAiCA>strangely flat</a> it seems compared to Harrison’s recording. Dylan’s run-together vocal lines were backed by oddly jaunty and accented side-stick drumming (with the snare struck on the second beat but then a quaver before the fourth instead of on the fourth itself) and punctuated with glockenspiel. It all adds up to a slightly confused and messy arrangement, which takes attention away from the sincerity of the lyrics.</p><h2>5.

A new study reveals that nearly one-third of Australian shoppers are more open to using AI chatbots this year than last, a significant shift in consumer behaviour. </p><p>Surprisingly, it’s not just the younger generations leading the charge. Australians aged 55 and over are also showing a growing willingness to embrace chatbots for finding the best deals and simplifying their holiday shopping. But what does this mean for retailers, and how are consumers balancing convenience with the desire for personalised service?</p><p> AI chatbots are revolutionising how we shop. From generating tailored gift recommendations to answering product questions in real-time, chatbots are no longer just a novelty, they’re a powerful tool in the modern retail landscape. </p><p>Retail giants like Amazon have adopted these advancements, offering AI-powered buying guides that help consumers navigate complex purchasing decisions. Whether you’re looking for the latest tech gadget or the perfect pair of shoes, these tools streamline the shopping experience, saving time and effort during the busy Christmas rush.</p><p>Older Australians are joining the AI revolution and the adoption of over 55s highlights a fascinating trend - older consumers are increasingly willing to experiment with technology. Their openness to chatbots suggests a broader acceptance of AI in everyday life, driven by its ability to simplify tasks and provide instant support. </p><p>However, this rapid technological adoption doesn’t come without concerns. Many Australian consumers are apprehensive about the fast changing shopping experience. They fear losing the personal touch that has traditionally defined retail interactions. But the reality is that these advancements can enhance the shopping journey by freeing up staff to engage in more meaningful ways with customers. </p><p>Here at TP, we feel the key to maintaining customer trust lies in using AI to complement human assistance, not replace it. Automating repetitive tasks, answering questions and providing tailored recommendations. </p><p>For retailers the messaging is clear, innovation must go hand-in-hand with empathy. Businesses that invest in both AI technology and high quality customer service teams will be positioned to meet evolving customer expectations. </p><p>AI isn’t just transforming the customer experience, it’s also delivering cost efficiency for retailers. Automated systems reduce the burden on support staff enabling faster responses to customer enquiries while lowering operational costs. This dual benefit is why brands are rushing to integrate AI-powered solutions like customer relationship management (CRM) systems, omnichannel tracking and loyalty programs. </p><p>It’s important retailers find balance and use AI to enhance the customer journey and not overshadow it. Self-service options and chatbots are invaluable but they should be backed by a strong human support team for more complex queries. </p><p>For customers, the rise of chatbots means faster service, better deals and smoother shopping journeys. But it also highlights the growing importance of choosing brands that value customer care. TP’s research shows that half of consumers now prioritise companies with excellent service, a trend likely to shape the future of retail. </p><p>As Australians embrace AI this Christmas, the message is clear, technology is not the enemy of personalisation. Instead, it’s a tool that when used thoughtfully, can make holiday shopping less stressful and more enjoyable for everyone. </p><p>This holiday season, chatbots are proving to be the ultimate shopping assistant but only for brands willing to blend innovation with a human touch. As we look ahead, one thing is certain, the future of retail will be shaped by how well technology and empathy can co-exist.</p><p><em>Image credits: Shutterstock </em></p>/p>p _ngcontent-sc55>span

revealed his own renovation fail on the latest episode of the show. </p><p>The vet turned TV star has taken on a new role where he guides six teams of aspiring renovators through the joys — and pitfalls — of house remodelling in the new Channel 7 reality show. </p><p>Speaking to 7NEWS, the star recalled the terrifying moment his home nearly fell in on itself when he was trying to build a garage. </p><p>“On my first renovation, I decided I needed a garage underneath my house,” he said, adding that he had council approval for the renovation. </p><p>“With a couple of tradies, we went about digging out the garage underneath the house, in the sand.</p><p>“We just kept on digging, digging, digging, until a rather large sound indicated the house was about to fall into the hole!</p><p>“So that’s about as dramatic as it as it gets.</p><p>“To have your house sort of falling in on itself, that was a pretty big learning curve.”</p><p>He said that the problem was solved very quickly with a lot of underpinning and structural support. </p><p>“A lot of those steel support posts that you can sort of wind up and down, they went in, and thankfully the house didn’t fold in half,” he said, laughing at the situation. </p><p>He added that unexpected situations like this are what make renovation shows so appealing as there’s so much natural drama, you don’t have to fake anything. </p><p>“Choices have to be made, and it’s either the right way or the wrong way, and you only really discover that as you go along, he added. </p><p>“Sometimes it’s too late to turn back once you realise you’ve made a terrible mistake.”</p><p>Chris added that his role on the show is almost as acoach to the pairs, supporting them through the renovation challenges, and helping them get to the finish line. </p><p>“What these couples are going through, and just how much they put on the line to get these renovations done, is quite inspiring and quite uplifting and but also thoroughly entertaining,” he said. </p><p><em>Image: Seven</em></p>/p>p _ngcontent-sc55>span _ngcontent-sc55 classtext-community>Real Estate/span>/p>/div>/div>/div>/a>/div>/article>!---->article _ngcontent-sc55

market.</p><p>The brick, bluestone and terra cotta structure at 496 Broome St. was the first home the pair bought together in New York City before they moved to the Upper West Side of Manhattan. </p><p>Yoko Ono has held onto the property since she first bought it with the late Beatles member, and has now listed it with her son with JLL Real Estate, for an asking price of $US5.5 million ($8.23m AUD).</p><p>“The building on Broome St. was sort of like a base for their artistic ventures,” Philip Norman, author of “John Lennon: The Life,” told the <em><a hrefhttps://nypost.com/2024/05/21/real-estate/yoko-ono-lists-former-nyc-home-for-5-5m/ target_blank relnoopener>New York Post</a></em>. “Bank Street was their salon, where people could just walk in.”</p><p>First built in 1885, the two-storey building has an open-plan format, with a gallery-like ground floor space with 14.4-foot-high ceilings, an open kitchen and a lofted bedroom.</p><p>On the second floor, there’s a live-work space and a recording studio.</p><p>“496 Broome St. is both a unique piece of New York history and popular culture and a prime investment opportunity for the right buyer,” said Paul Smadbeck, who holds the listing.</p><p>“Versatile zoning and its location in one of the city’s most desirable and trendsetting neighbourhoods offers an exciting opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind property.”</p><p><em>Image credits: Mediapunch / JLL Real Estate </em></p>/p>p _ngcontent-sc55>span _ngcontent-sc55 classtext-community>Real

more magic into the real world … we’ve created the most extraordinary experiences on Earth. </p><p>The house offers a stunning view of the desert, which you can enjoy while sitting on replicas of Ellie and Carls chairs or have breakfast with a view in the kitchen. </p><p>Alternatively, you could look at the stars while sitting on the front porch - but dont look down because the adventure is out there. </p><p>Of course there are questions about the logistics of the stay, including plumbing and electricity, but the accommodation giant has assured that the house is “fully functional,” connected to generators and utilities that will be seamlessly managed before and after its flight.</p><p>Other fantastical listings include a replica of the mansion from the “X-Men ’97” cartoon, a

bushwalk? 3 handy foods to have in your backpack (including muesli bars)&q;,&q;MetaDescription&q;:&q;You don’t have to go to a specialist camping shop to buy healthy, energy-dense snacks for bushwalks. These three foods should do the trick.&q;,&q;Preview&q;:&q;&q;,&q;Body&q;:&q;&l;div class\&q;theconversation-article-body\&q;&g;\n&l;p&g;&l;em&g;&l;a href\&q;https://theconversation.com/profiles/margaret-murray-1173544\&q;&g;Margaret Murray&l;/a&g;, &l;a href\&q;https://theconversation.com/institutions/swinburne-university-of-technology-767\&q;&g;Swinburne University of Technology&l;/a&g;&l;/em&g;&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;This time of year, many of us love to get out and spend time in nature. This may include hiking through Australia’s many beautiful &l;a href\&q;https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/conservation-and-heritage/national-parks/australias-national-parks\&q;&g;national parks&l;/a&g;.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Walking in nature is a wonderful activity, supporting both &l;a href\&q;https://doi.org/10.1108/S2044-994120170000009004\&q;&g;physical&l;/a&g; and &l;a href\&q;https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12144-023-05112-z\&q;&g;mental health&l;/a&g;. But there can be risks and it’s important to be prepared.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;You may have read the news about hiker, Hadi Nazari, who was &l;a href\&q;https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/jan/08/how-missing-hiker-survived-in-kosciuszko-national-park\&q;&g;recently found&l;/a&g; alive after spending 13 days lost in Kosciuszko National Park.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;He reportedly survived for almost two weeks in the Snowy Mountains region of New South Wales by drinking fresh water from creeks, and eating foraged berries and two muesli bars.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;So next time you’re heading out for a day of hiking, what foods should you pack?&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Here are my three top foods to carry on a bushwalk that are dense in nutrients and energy, lightweight and available from the local grocery store.&l;/p&g;\n&l;h2&g;1. Muesli bars&l;/h2&g;\n&l;p&g;Nazari &l;a href\&q;https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/jan/09/hiker-who-left-museli-bars-in-kosciuszko-hut-hadi-nazari\&q;&g;reportedly ate&l;/a&g; two muesli bars he found in a mountain hut. Whoever left the muesli bars there made a great choice.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Muesli bars come individually wrapped, which helps them last longer and makes them easy to transport.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;They are also a good source of energy. Muesli bars typically contain about &l;a href\&q;https://afcd.foodstandards.gov.au/fooddetails.aspx?PFKIDF000333\&q;&g;1,500&l;/a&g;-&l;a href\&q;https://afcd.foodstandards.gov.au/fooddetails.aspx?PFKIDF000344\&q;&g;1,900&l;/a&g; kilojoules per 100 grams. The average energy content for a 35g bar is &l;a href\&q;https://doi.org/10.3390/foods8090370\&q;&g;about 614kJ&l;/a&g;.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;This may be &l;a href\&q;https://www.eatforhealth.gov.au/nutrient-reference-values/nutrients/dietary-energy\&q;&g;a fraction&l;/a&g; of what you’d usually need in a day. However, the energy from muesli bars is released at a &l;a href\&q;https://glycemicindex.com/gi-search/?food_namemuesli+bar&a;amp;product_category&a;amp;country&a;amp;gi&a;amp;gi_filter&a;amp;serving_size_(g)&a;amp;serving_size_(g)_filter&a;amp;carbs_per_serve_(g)&a;amp;carbs_per_serve_(g)_filter&a;amp;gl&a;amp;gl_filter\&q;&g;slow to moderate pace&l;/a&g;, which will help keep you going for longer.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Muesli bars are also &l;a href\&q;https://afcd.foodstandards.gov.au/fooddetails.aspx?PFKIDF000333\&q;&g;packed with nutrients&l;/a&g;. They contain all three macronutrients (carbohydrate, protein and fat) that our body needs to function. They’re a good source of carbohydrates, in particular, which are a key energy source. An average Australian muesli bar contains &l;a href\&q;https://doi.org/10.3390/foods8090370\&q;&g;14g of whole grains&l;/a&g;, which provide carbohydrates and dietary fibre for long-lasting energy.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Muesli bars that contain nuts &l;a href\&q;https://afcd.foodstandards.gov.au/fooddetails.aspx?PFKIDF000344\&q;&g;are typically&l;/a&g; higher in fat (19.9g per 100g) and protein (9.4g per 100g) than &l;a href\&q;https://afcd.foodstandards.gov.au/fooddetails.aspx?PFKIDF000333\&q;&g;those without&l;/a&g;.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Fat and protein are helpful for &l;a href\&q;https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16988118/\&q;&g;slowing down&l;/a&g; the release of energy from foods and the protein will help keep you &l;a href\&q;https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodhyd.2016.08.003\&q;&g;feeling full for longer&l;/a&g;.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;There are many different types of muesli bars to choose from. I recommend looking for those with whole grains, higher dietary fibre and higher protein content.&l;/p&g;\n&l;h2&g;2. Nuts&l;/h2&g;\n&l;p&g;Nuts are nature’s savoury snack and are also a great source of energy. Cashews, pistachios and peanuts contain about &l;a href\&q;https://www.researchgate.net/publication/6671761_Nuts_Source_of_energy_and_macronutrients#fullTextFileContent\&q;&g;2,300-2,400kJ per 100g&l;/a&g; while Brazil nuts, pecans and macadamias contain about &l;a href\&q;https://www.researchgate.net/publication/6671761_Nuts_Source_of_energy_and_macronutrients#fullTextFileContent\&q;&g;2,700-3,000kJ per 100g&l;/a&g;. So a 30g serving of nuts will provide about 700-900kJ depending on the type of nut.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Just like muesli bars, the energy from nuts &l;a href\&q;https://glycemicindex.com/gi-search/?food_namenut+&a;amp;product_categorynuts&a;amp;country&a;amp;gi&a;amp;gi_filter&a;amp;serving_size_(g)&a;amp;serving_size_(g)_filter&a;amp;carbs_per_serve_(g)&a;amp;carbs_per_serve_(g)_filter&a;amp;gl&a;amp;gl_filter\&q;&g;is released slowly&l;/a&g;. So even a relatively small quantity will keep you powering on.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Nuts are also &l;a href\&q;https://www.mdpi.com/2304-8158/12/5/942\&q;&g;full of nutrients&l;/a&g;, such as protein, fat and fibre, which will help to &l;a href\&q;https://doi.org/10.1080/10408398.2018.1514486\&q;&g;stave off hunger&l;/a&g; and keep you moving for longer.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;When choosing which nuts to pack, almost any type of nut is going to be great.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Peanuts are often the best value for money, or go for something like walnuts that are &l;a href\&q;https://afcd.foodstandards.gov.au/fooddetails.aspx?PFKIDF006116\&q;&g;high in omega-3 fatty acids&l;/a&g;, or a nut mix.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Whichever nut you choose, go for the unsalted natural or roasted varieties. Salted nuts will make you thirsty.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Nut bars are also a great option and have the added benefit of coming in pre-packed serves (although nuts can also be easily packed into re-usable containers).&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;If you’re allergic to nuts, roasted chickpeas are another option. Just try to avoid those with added salt.&l;/p&g;\n&l;h2&g;3. Dried fruit&l;/h2&g;\n&l;p&g;If nuts are nature’s savoury snack, fruit is nature’s candy. Fresh fruits (such as grapes, frozen in advance) are wonderfully refreshing and perfect as an everyday snack, although can add a bit of weight to your hiking pack.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;So if you’re looking to reduce the weight you’re carrying, go for dried fruit. It’s lighter and will withstand various conditions better than fresh fruit, so is less likely to spoil or bruise on the journey.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;There are lots of varieties of dried fruits, such as sultanas, dried mango, dried apricots and dried apple slices.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;These are good sources of &l;a href\&q;https://afcd.foodstandards.gov.au/fooddetails.aspx?PFKIDF008983\&q;&g;sugar for energy&l;/a&g;, &l;a href\&q;https://doi.org/10.3390/nu10121833\&q;&g;fibre&l;/a&g; for fullness and healthy digestion, and contain &l;a href\&q;http://dx.doi.org/10.12944/CRNFSJ.10.1.06\&q;&g;lots of vitamins and minerals&l;/a&g;. So choose one (or a combination) that works for you.&l;/p&g;\n&l;h2&g;Don’t forget water&l;/h2&g;\n&l;p&g;Next time you head out hiking for the day, you’re all set with these easily available, lightweight, energy- and nutrient-dense snacks.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;This is not the time to be overly concerned about limiting your sugar or fat intake. Hiking, particularly in rough terrain, places demands on your body and energy needs. For instance, an adult hiking in rough terrain can burn upwards &l;a href\&q;https://scholar.ufs.ac.za/server/api/core/bitstreams/eb9b5b76-bdfc-456f-b833-c3e285948e4a/content\&q;&g;of about&l;/a&g; 2,000kJ per hour.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;And of course, don’t forget to take plenty of water.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Having access to even limited food, and plenty of fresh water, will not only make your hike more pleasurable, it can save your life.&l;!-- Below is The Conversation&s;s page counter tag.

I don’t think so. You want it to be as expensive as possible, right?”, he said. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Mr Fox said the real issue is the cost-of-living crisis, which is making life so “hard” for Australians who are getting hit hard by rising prices from groceries to interest rates. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;“So, if you’re a home seller and you see this billboard, it’s actually exactly what you want,” he argued.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;&l;em&g;Image credits: TikTok&l;/em&g;&l;/p&g;\n&q;,&q;Author&q;:&q;Charlotte Foster&q;,&q;Images&q;:&q;/media/2025/01/white-fox-ad.jpg&q;,&q;Captions&q;:&q;{\&q;value\&q;:\&q;\&q;}&q;,&q;PBembedid&q;:&q;&q;,&q;VimeoLink&q;:&q;&q;,&q;Url&q;:&q;out-of-touch-property-ad-sparks-major-debate&q;,&q;DisplayDate&q;:&q;2025-01-14T11:49:56&q;,&q;UpdateDate&q;:&q;2025-01-14T12:00:57&q;,&q;Sections&q;:&q;Legal&q;,&q;Tags&q;:&q;legal,real estate,ad,controversial&q;,&q;Region&q;:&q;AUS&q;,&q;Published&q;:1},{&q;Id&q;:161517,&q;ArticleId&q;:152342,&q;Title&q;:&q;Woolies shopper shocked by 15-year-old grocery receipt&q;,&q;MetaDescription&q;:&q;A shopper has been stunned after unearthing a 15-year-old Woolworths receipt and comparing how much the same grocery order would cost today.&q;,&q;Preview&q;:&q;&q;,&q;Body&q;:&q;&l;p&g;A Woolworths shopper has been left stunned after unearthing a 15-year-old grocery receipt and comparing what the same order would cost today. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Amy Coulston took to TikTok after finding her mum&s;s grocery receipt from January 14th 2010 and decided to do a comparison to 2025 supermarket prices. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;\&q;It&s;s been 15 years since this shopping trip and I wanted to see the difference in price from then and now,\&q;

It’s unlikely you’d apply for credit just for a single, small purchase.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;In recent years, though, the financial technology or “fintech” revolution in the customer credit market has changed all that, with the meteoric rise of buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) services.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;BNPL credit allows consumers to split their purchases into smaller, interest-free instalments. It is often directly integrated into online checkouts with fast approval, making it easy to purchase something instantly and spread the cost over coming months.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;There are some obvious risks. Many BNPL providers charge less visible fees, such as late payment fees and account maintenance fees. In many countries, the BNPL sector is also less regulated than traditional credit.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;But does it also change our spending habits? Our recent &l;a href\&q;https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jretai.2024.09.004\&q;&g;research&l;/a&g; uncovered a concerning insight: consumers who use BNPL services end up spending more money online than those who don’t. This effect is particularly strong among younger shoppers and those with lower incomes.&l;/p&g;\n&l;h2&g;Our research&l;/h2&g;\n&l;p&g;We &l;a href\&q;https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jretai.2024.09.004\&q;&g;analysed&l;/a&g; data from an online retailer in the Nordic region that offered customers three payment options for online purchases: card, pay on delivery and BNPL.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;We found that consumers who used BNPL spent an average of 6.42% more than those who didn’t.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;This increase was particularly noticeable for low-ticket items, suggesting that BNPL may encourage customers to buy more when shopping for smaller, everyday things.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Why might this be the case? For one, BPNL spending is constrained by the size of the loans on offer. In the US, the average BNPL loan amount is &l;a href\&q;https://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/documents/cfpb_consumer-use-of-buy-now-pay-later_2023-03.pdf\&q;&g;US$135&l;/a&g; (A$217).&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;It may also be related to what’s known in economics as the “&l;a href\&q;https://www.theguardian.com/business/2008/dec/22/recession-cosmetics-lipstick\&q;&g;lipstick effect&l;/a&g;”, where customers under financial strain tend to reduce spending on big-ticket items in favour of lower-priced luxuries.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Selling such low-ticket items doesn’t always give online retailers the biggest profit margins. But it can play a crucial role in acquiring and retaining customers, and creating opportunities to upsell.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Our research also showed that younger, lower-income customers were more likely to spend more when using BNPL services, likely because it provides them with additional “liquidity” – access to cash.&l;/p&g;\n&l;h2&g;Why might they be spending more?&l;/h2&g;\n&l;p&g;It’s easy to see why so many consumers like BNPL. Some even think of it as more of a way of payment than a form of credit.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;The core feature of such services - offering interest-free instalment payments for online purchases - has a significant psychological impact on customers.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;It leverages the principle that the perceived benefit of spending in the present outweighs the displeasure associated with future payments.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;This behaviour aligns with theories of “hyperbolic discounting” – our preference for smaller immediate rewards over larger later ones – and the related “&l;a href\&q;https://www.behavioraleconomics.com/resources/mini-encyclopedia-of-be/present-bias/\&q;&g;present bias&l;/a&g;” phenomenon.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Our results also suggest customers with high category experience – that is, more familiar with the larger product categories carried by a retailer – and those more sensitive to deals and promotions are likely to spend more when online retailers provide BNPL as a payment option.&l;/p&g;\n&l;h2&g;A growing influence on spending&l;/h2&g;\n&l;p&g;The economic impact of BNPL is substantial in the countries that have pioneered its adoption.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;In Australia, birthplace of Afterpay, Zip, Openpay, and Latitude, it’s &l;a href\&q;https://www.oxfordeconomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/AFIA_BNPL_Research_Report-1.pdf\&q;&g;estimated&l;/a&g; that (allowing for flow-on effects) BNPL services contributed A$14.3 billion to gross domestic product (GDP) in the 2021 financial year.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Industry research firm Juniper Research &l;a href\&q;https://www.juniperresearch.com/press/pressreleasesbuy-now-pay-later-users-to-exceed-670-million-globally/\&q;&g;projects&l;/a&g; the number of BNPL users will exceed 670 million globally by 2028, an increase of more than 100% on current levels.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Substantial projected growth in the sector is attributed to multiple factors. These include increasing e-commerce usage, economic pressures, the flexibility of payment options and widespread adoption by merchants.&l;/p&g;\n&l;h2&g;Buyer, beware&l;/h2&g;\n&l;p&g;BNPL services can be a convenient way to pay for online purchases. But it’s important to use them responsibly.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;That means understanding the potential risks and benefits to make your own informed decisions. Be mindful of your spending. Don’t let the allure of easy payments let you get carried away.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Customers should explore beyond the marketing tactics of interest-free split payments and pay close attention to terms and conditions, including any fees and penalties. They should treat BNPL like any other form of credit.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Whether you’re a shopper considering using BNPL or a business thinking about offering it, our research highlights that it may have the power to significantly influence spending patterns – for better or worse.&l;!-- Below is The Conversation&s;s page counter tag.

The incident occurred when One Nation leader Hanson attempted to refer former Labor senator Fatima Payman to a parliamentary committee over her dual Afghan citizenship, questioning her eligibility to sit in the upper house.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Senator Thorpe backed Senator Payman, yelling \&q;convicted racist\&q; at Senator Hanson as she threw torn-up documents at her. The outburst escalated when Senator Thorpe gave the middle finger over her shoulder as she walked out of the chamber.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Labor Senate leader Penny Wong moved the motion to oust Senator Thorpe until the end of Thursday, passing 46 votes to 11. The government, coalition, Senator Hanson, David Pocock and Ralph Babet voted in favour of the motion. Only the Greens stood against it, and while Senator Thorpe&s;s staff attended the vote, she did not.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Senator Wong then spoke about the need for a safe workplace, stating, \&q;All Australians have a right to be safe at work... This fortnight alone the senator has been censured, she has sworn in the chamber, repeatedly made offensive gestures when leaving the chamber and made comments resulting in First Nation senators from across this chamber feeling culturally unsafe, and all of that was prior to today&s;s incident, which culminated in Senator Thorpe tearing up papers and throwing them at another senator on the Senate floor.\&q;&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Defending the Greens&s; decision, Senate leader Larissa Waters said, \&q;A number of our senators feel unsafe due to the conduct of Senator Thorpe. And a number of senators in this place feel unsafe due to the conduct of Senator Hanson.\&q; &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;This incident is the latest in a series of controversial actions by Senator Thorpe. She was recently censured by the upper house over her publicised protest against King Charles during the monarch&s;s visit to Parliament House in October. During that incident, Thorpe shouted at the King, \&q;You committed genocide against our people; give us our land back; give us back what you stole from us … we want a treaty in this country.\&q;&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;&l;em&g;Images: Nine News&l;/em&g;&l;/p&g;\n&q;,&q;Author&q;:&q;Alex Cracknell&q;,&q;Images&q;:&q;/media/2024/11/LidiaThorpe_NineNews.jpg&q;,&q;Captions&q;:&q;{\&q;value\&q;:\&q;\&q;}&q;,&q;PBembedid&q;:&q;&q;,&q;VimeoLink&q;:&q;&q;,&q;Url&q;:&q;lidia-thorpe-barred-from-parliament-after-pauline-hanson-clash&q;,&q;DisplayDate&q;:&q;2024-11-28T08:08:49&q;,&q;UpdateDate&q;:&q;2024-11-28T08:10:09&q;,&q;Sections&q;:&q;News&q;,&q;Tags&q;:&q;Lidia Thorpe,Pauline Hanson&q;,&q;Region&q;:&q;AUS&q;,&q;Published&q;:1},{&q;Id&q;:160305,&q;ArticleId&q;:151459,&q;Title&q;:&q;World reacts as Donald Trump wins US election&q;,&q;MetaDescription&q;:&q;Global leaders have shared their congratulations as Donald Trump – the 45th President of the United States – also just became its 47th President.&q;,&q;Preview&q;:&q;&q;,&q;Body&q;:&q;&l;p&g;World leaders, celebrities and millions of Americans have shared their first reactions and messages of support - or messages of anger, upset and frustration - as Donald Trump claimed his victory in the US election. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;The Republican leader won both the electoral college vote and the popular vote, taking a hold of the majority of key swing states, as his victory just hours after the polls closed. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;The win will see Trump re-enter the White House in January as the 47th President, making him the only president to serve two non-consecutive terms in office. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Reactions to the unprecedented win flooded online spaces, with world leaders sending their congratulations. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the election of the US president marked an important moment for Australia and the Asia Pacific region, and vowed to work closely with the Trump administration.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;“Australia and America are old allies and we are true friends,” he said. “Our nations are bound by a history of shared sacrifice, a commitment to common values and — above all — enduring respect and affection between our peoples.\&q;&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;“I look forward to talking with President Trump and working with him in the best interests of both our nations.”&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Opposition Leader Peter Dutton also extended his congratulations to the Republican leader on behalf of the federal Coalition, describing the US as an “overwhelming force for good”.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Unsurprisingly, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was among the first to speak to Trump, writing on X, “Congratulations on history’s greatest comeback!”&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;“Your historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America and a powerful recommitment to the great alliance between Israel and America. This is a huge victory! In true friendship.”&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Elon Musk, petulant billionaire and owner of Twitter, also shared a series of memes on X, after he publicly endorsed Trump throughout his campaign. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Among the posts is an image of Musk holding a bathroom sink photoshopped into the Oval Office with the caption \&q;Let that sink in\&q;, a reference to how he marked his controversial takeover of X when it was still known as Twitter.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Musk also shared a photo of a conversation he was having with Trump as votes were being counted.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;\&q;The future is gonna be so fire,\&q; Musk said with American flag emojis.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;\&q;The future is gonna be fantastic,\&q; he said in a follow up post with a photo of his recent SpaceX rocket test that Trump discussed at length, for some reason, in his declaration speech.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Despite the messages of well wishes from world leaders, social media has been awash with messages of disbelief and anger since the victory was announced, with many American citizens anxious and scared about the next four years under Trump&s;s controversial &l;a href\&q;https://www.project2025.org\&q; target\&q;_blank\&q; rel\&q;noopener\&q;&g;Project 2025&l;/a&g;, which will see mass deportations of immigrants, more tax cuts to the rich, harsher penalties for those seeking abortions or reproductive care, and unprecedented power in the hands of a President with authoritarian aspirations. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;&l;em&g;Image credits: Brian Prahl/Shutterstock &l;/em&g;&l;/p&g;\n&q;,&q;Author&q;:&q;Charlotte Foster&q;,&q;Images&q;:&q;/media/2024/11/trump-againwtf.jpg&q;,&q;Captions&q;:&q;{\&q;value\&q;:\&q;\&q;}&q;,&q;PBembedid&q;:&q;&q;,&q;VimeoLink&q;:&q;&q;,&q;Url&q;:&q;world-reacts-as-donald-trump-wins-us-election&q;,&q;DisplayDate&q;:&q;2024-11-07T08:47:24&q;,&q;UpdateDate&q;:&q;2024-11-07T09:11:45&q;,&q;Sections&q;:&q;News&q;,&q;Tags&q;:&q;news,Donald Trump,election&q;,&q;Region&q;:&q;AUS&q;,&q;Published&q;:1},{&q;Id&q;:160194,&q;ArticleId&q;:151376,&q;Title&q;:&q;Hero cop from Bondi Junction attack nominated for major award&q;,&q;MetaDescription&q;:&q;Amy Scott, the police officer who took down Joel Cauchi in the middle of his stabbing rampage in Bondi Junction Westfield, has been nominated for NSW Australian of the Year.&q;,&q;Preview&q;:&q;&q;,&q;Body&q;:&q;&l;p&g;The hero cop who brought an end to the Bondi Junction stabbing in April has been nominated for Australian of the Year.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Inspector Amy Scott, who fatally shot Joel Cauchi during the April 13th attack, is up for the coveted award in New South Wales for her quick-thinking and courage during the terrifying ordeal. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Scott is up for NSW Australian of the Year alongside the likes of former cricketer and charity boss Kath Koschel and youth advocate Daniel Principe.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;The nomination commends Scott for her \&q;unparalleled bravery and dedication to service\&q; during the horror attack, which killed six people and injured another 12.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;\&q;Without hesitation or regard for her own safety, Inspector Scott responded with exceptional courage, not waiting for backup and choosing to face the threat head-on and alone, a decision that would define her heroism,\&q; the statement confirming her nomination read.&l;/p&g;\n&l;div&g;\n&l;div&g;\&q;Her actions saved countless lives and showcased her unwavering leadership in the face of extreme danger.

And I realised that in that hotel in Melbourne I was fed with some food that poisoned me,” Djokovic told &l;em&g;&l;a href\&q;https://www.gq.com/story/novak-djokovic-conquered-tennis-whats-next\&q; target\&q;_blank\&q; rel\&q;noopener\&q;&g;GQ Sports&l;/a&g;&l;/em&g;.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;“I had some discoveries when I came back to Serbia. I never told this to anybody publicly, but discoveries that I had a really high level of heavy metal. Heavy metal. I had the lead, very high level of lead and mercury.”&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Pressed on whether he thought the substances entered his body via the food in Melbourne, Djokovic said: “That’s the only way.\&q;&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;“Yeah, (I was) very sick. It was like the flu, just a simple flu. But when it was days after that a simple flu took me down so much, I had an emergency medical team treat me at home.

They’re just very caring people who are concerned for their friends and neighbours.”&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Mr Gordo went on to explain that the high-profile couple had visited the World Centra Kitchen “anonymously” by “serving food with masks” and wearing baseball caps, insisting they weren’t there for “publicity”, but were keen to “work”.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;“We went to visit some of the families in the impacted area and view first-hand some of the impacted area and then they wanted to go visit the first responders and personally thank them for their efforts to help our families and their neighbours,” Mr Gordo said.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;&l;em&g;Image credits: Fox 11&l;/em&g;&l;/p&g;\n&q;,&q;Author&q;:&q;Charlotte Foster&q;,&q;Images&q;:&q;/media/2025/01/harry-megs-LA.jpg&q;,&q;Captions&q;:&q;{\&q;value\&q;:\&q;\&q;}&q;,&q;PBembedid&q;:&q;&q;,&q;VimeoLink&q;:&q;&q;,&q;Url&q;:&q;prince-harry-and-meghan-markle-lend-a-hand-to-la-fire-victims&q;,&q;DisplayDate&q;:&q;2025-01-13T09:37:53&q;,&q;UpdateDate&q;:&q;2025-01-13T09:50:13&q;,&q;Sections&q;:&q;International Travel&q;,&q;Tags&q;:&q;International travel,Prince Harry,Meghan Markle,fires,LA&q;,&q;Region&q;:&q;AUS&q;,&q;Published&q;:1},{&q;Id&q;:161385,&q;ArticleId&q;:152240,&q;Title&q;:&q;Tourists reveal dream retirement destination&q;,&q;MetaDescription&q;:&q;Many dream of retiring overseas and here are some of people&s;s top choices for where they want to spend their golden years.&q;,&q;Preview&q;:&q;&q;,&q;Body&q;:&q;&l;p&g;Many people dream of retiring overseas and Reddit users have shared where they want to spend their golden years. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;\&q;If you could choose a retirement city among the cities you have visited, which one would you choose?\&q; one user asked. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;The responses were varied from South Island, New Zealand to Scotland, here are some of destinations:&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;&l;strong&g;South Island, New Zealand&l;/strong&g;&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;South Island is a dream retirement location for many users on the thread, with \&q;wide open spaces\&q; and \&q;cooler weather\&q; as some of the key reasons why people wanted to retire there. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;One user wrote: \&q;All the towns we visited there were quaint. I could live in any of them.\&q; &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;\&q;I loved the ratio of people to wide open spaces. Dunedin was my favourite city, but any of the smaller towns have a lot to recommend them. I also love the cooler weather. Very expensive, though,\&q; another commented. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;&l;strong&g;Nicosia, Cyprus&l;/strong&g;&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Others were attracted to the bustling city of Nicosia, with many praising the city&s;s weather and walkability as a plus. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;\&q;Cypriots are, in general, friendly and down-to-earth people. Nicosia is a capital city with a small-town feel.\&q; &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;&l;strong&g;London, UK&l;/strong&g;&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;While people were divided about retiring in the iconic destination because of the high prices, others praised it for the \&q;metropolitan atmosphere\&q; &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;\&q;Tons of free museums, easy to get around on local buses and Tube, great train links to many places.

Only problem is the cost of housing.\&q; &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;&l;strong&g;Scotland &l;/strong&g;&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;The city&s;s \&q;slow and beautiful\&q; lifestyle makes it a dream retirement spot for many. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;\&q;I did a house sit in Selkirk, just north of Edinburgh. I could live there very happily. There’s a proper high street with newsagent, butcher, bakery, small grocer. There’s a small loch to walk the dogs around. I left a bit of my heart there,\&q; one said. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;\&q;Any of the little villages on the Isle of Skye. It’s the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen. The people are unbelievably warm and welcoming,\&q; another added. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;&l;strong&g;Singapore&l;/strong&g;&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;For a few people who have visited the city, the food, climate, \&q;convenient life\&q; and \&q;very good public security\&q; were some of the plus points listed by travellers. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;&l;strong&g;Annecy, France &l;/strong&g;&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;The Alpine town had a lot of travellers&s; interest with any praising its beauty and convenience. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;\&q;Currently in Annecy for an extended period and it has shot up to my number one as well. I had never heard of it before coming here, but it’s got quite the magical charm about it. Great location as well,\&q; one said. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;\&q;The perfection of the edge of a stunning lake and the base of the French Alps. And only 40 minutes from Geneva Airport,\&q; another added. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;A few other locations mentioned in the thread included the southern Mexican city of Oaxaca, praised for its relaxed lifestyle, and San Diego, USA, praised for its city lifestyle and beautiful beaches. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;&l;em&g;Image: &l;/em&g;&l;em&g;Collection Maykova / Shutterstock.com&l;/em&g;&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g; &l;/p&g;\n&q;,&q;Author&q;:&q;Rizna Mutmainah&q;,&q;Images&q;:&q;/media/2024/12/TopRetirementDesti.jpg&q;,&q;Captions&q;:&q;{\&q;value\&q;:\&q;\&q;}&q;,&q;PBembedid&q;:&q;&q;,&q;VimeoLink&q;:&q;&q;,&q;Url&q;:&q;tourists-reveal-dream-retirement-destination&q;,&q;DisplayDate&q;:&q;2024-12-18T12:45:46&q;,&q;UpdateDate&q;:&q;2024-12-18T12:59:15&q;,&q;Sections&q;:&q;International Travel&q;,&q;Tags&q;:&q;Travel,International Travel,Retirement&q;,&q;Region&q;:&q;AUS&q;,&q;Published&q;:1},&q;top4Health&q;:{&q;Id&q;:161487,&q;ArticleId&q;:152321,&q;Title&q;:&q;What is reformer pilates?

And how does it compare with regular pilates and other types of exercise?&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Classes aren’t cheap so let’s look at the potential benefits and drawbacks to help you decide if it’s right for you.&l;/p&g;\n&l;h2&g;Pilates with special equipment&l;/h2&g;\n&l;p&g;Pilates is a &l;a href\&q;https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1360859201902372\&q;&g;mode of exercise&l;/a&g; that focuses on core stability and flexibility, while also addressing muscular strength and endurance, balance and general fitness. At first glance, it might look a bit like yoga, with some more traditional weight training components thrown in.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Reformer pilates uses a piece of equipment called a “reformer”. This looks like a narrow bed that slides along a carriage, has straps to hold onto, and has adjustable springs that add resistance to movement. You perform pilates on the reformer to target specific muscle groups and movement patterns.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;The reformer was first designed to help &l;a href\&q;https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.4324/9781003524625-19/pilates-rehabilitation-brent-anderson\&q;&g;people recover from injuries&l;/a&g;. However, it has now become common for general fitness and even &l;a href\&q;https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/epdf/10.1177/1089313X06010003-406\&q;&g;sports performance&l;/a&g;.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Unlike normal pilates, also known as “mat pilates”, which only uses your body weight, the reformer adds resistance, meaning you can change the difficulty according to your current level of fitness.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;This not only provides a way to overload your muscles, but can make the exercise session more aerobically demanding, which has been proposed to &l;a href\&q;https://figshare.utas.edu.au/articles/journal_contribution/Equipment-based_pilates_induces_a_cardiovascular_response_in_older_adults_an_observational_clinical_trial/22943213?file40678763\&q;&g;improve cardiovascular fitness&l;/a&g;.&l;/p&g;\n&l;h2&g;What are the benefits of reformer pilates?&l;/h2&g;\n&l;p&g;Despite being around for decades, there is surprisingly little research looking at the benefits of reformer pilates. However, what we have seen so far suggests it has a similar effect to other modes of exercise.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Reformer pilates has been shown to help with &l;a href\&q;https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1250306.pdf\&q;&g;weight loss&l;/a&g;, cause some &l;a href\&q;https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03630242.2015.1118723?casa_tokenweWacL5JmM8AAAAA%3AjlXtB-o29eDTHNegdvvfxa9FUT1iY18T0niXDdDpzgbn9AhMK4fgF1RQWLwyo3tVic49h9vhH4Ux\&q;&g;small increases in muscle mass&l;/a&g;, and enhance &l;a href\&q;https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1360859224004558?casa_tokenrEKoc-x8WoMAAAAA:Zvgqtp7SPNbWoTtxRb8-x5HCy0XD2M74Ky-7bBU2yFgGMOnyw2aJQDKCdep40AqRobWgR0V3yA\&q;&g;cognitive function&l;/a&g;. All of these benefits are commonly seen when combining weight training and cardio into the same routine.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Similarly, among &l;a href\&q;https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1360859217302280?casa_tokentxnU400G7DQAAAAA:KQLBRYBWuZ0asqaOJ4agUKZj2nFljuxFvCQFZeZQh53h0ZIp07qJ_4TuyCQto4c-BB1kzMpWug\&q;&g;older adults&l;/a&g;, it has been shown to improve strength, enhance flexibility and may even reduce the risk of falling.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;From a rehabilitation perspective, there is some evidence indicating reformer pilates can improve &l;a href\&q;https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1360859216300857?casa_tokentQyxWGoPam8AAAAA:jlIpAr2ZuD3bjKKtT4qHbDz2dr_Tm2k4Cgb22qw_NQRb5gtLsJdYV7P0DuRlVWN04kI9p_dSOQ\&q;&g;shoulder health and function&l;/a&g;, reduce &l;a href\&q;http://www.jkspm.org/journal/view.html?uid1105&a;amp;&a;amp;vmdFull\&q;&g;lower back pain&l;/a&g; and &l;a href\&q;https://ksep-es.org/journal/view.php?number1084\&q;&g;increase flexibility&l;/a&g;.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Finally, there is some evidence suggesting a single session of reformer pilates can improve two key markers of &l;a href\&q;https://karger.com/ger/article-abstract/70/7/764/906990/Effect-of-60-Min-Single-Bout-of-Resistance\&q;&g;cardiovascular health&l;/a&g;, being flow-mediated dilation and pulse wave velocity, while also &l;a href\&q;https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9098105/\&q;&g;improving cholesterol and insulin levels&l;/a&g;. This suggests reformer pilates could lead to long-term improvements in heart and metabolic health, although more research is needed to confirm this.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;However, there are some key things to consider when discussing these benefits. Most of this research is quite exploratory and comes from a very small number of studies. So we do not know whether these findings will apply to everyone.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Very few studies compared reformer pilates to other types of exercise. Therefore, while it can improve most aspects of health and function, it’s unlikely reformer pilates provides the &l;em&g;optimal&l;/em&g; mode of exercise for each individual component of physical fitness.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Traditional weight training, for example, will likely cause larger improvements in strength than reformer pilates. Similarly, stretching will &l;a href\&q;https://theconversation.com/new-research-shows-how-long-hard-and-often-you-need-to-stretch-to-improve-your-flexibility-242488\&q;&g;probably make you more flexible&l;/a&g;. And running or cycling will make you fitter.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;However, if you want a type of exercise that gives you broad overall health benefits, it could be a good option.&l;/p&g;\n&l;h2&g;What are the downsides of reformer pilates&l;/h2&g;\n&l;p&g;Reformer pilates is not for everyone.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;First and foremost, classes can be expensive compared to other fitness options. You need to be doing at least two to three sessions per week of any type of exercise to &l;a href\&q;https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240015128\&q;&g;maximise the benefits&l;/a&g;. So even if you can find a class for A$20 or $30, paying for two or three classes a week (or buying a weekly or monthly subscription) is a significant outlay.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Second, it’s not as accessible as other exercise. Even if you can afford it, not every town or suburb has a reformer pilates studio.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Third, the effectiveness of your workout is likely to be impacted by how competent your instructor is. There are a host of different pilates qualifications you can get in Australia, and some take much less time than others. With this in mind, it might be best to look for &l;a href\&q;https://www.pilates.org.au/about/\&q;&g;accredited pilates instructors&l;/a&g;, although this will further reduce the number of options you have available.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Finally, there is a learning curve. While you will get better over time, the exercise will likely be less effective during those first few weeks (or months) when you are getting used to the machine and the movements.&l;/p&g;\n&l;h2&g;Is it right for you?&l;/h2&g;\n&l;p&g;Reformer pilates can be a great addition to your fitness routine, especially if you’re looking for a low-impact way to build strength and flexibility.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;But if you have more specific goals, you might need a more specific mode of exercise. For example, if you need to get stronger to improve your ability to manage your daily life, then strength training is probably your best bet. Likewise, if your goal is to run a marathon, you will get more specific benefits from running.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;The cost and availability of reformer pilates make it less accessible for some people. With this in mind, if you are after similar benefits at a lower price point, mat pilates might be a better option.

But I should have listened,\&q; Baird told &l;em&g;&l;a href\&q;https://9now.nine.com.au/60-minutes/mike-baird-former-nsw-premier-mental-health-struggle-10-years-after-lindt-cafe-siege/e5376455-411a-4b25-b71d-526eb86f7995\&q; target\&q;_blank\&q; rel\&q;noopener\&q;&g;60 Minutes&l;/a&g;&l;/em&g;. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Reflecting on the terrifying day, he said, \&q;Everyone just wanted them out.

And I think the impact is felt by everyone.\&q;&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;\&q;To have that loss of Tori and Katrina, I&s;ll never lose that,\&q; Baird said, referring to the two hostages who were tragically killed during the siege.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;\&q;It&s;s just impossible not to feel guilt.\&q;&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Baird admitted he struggled to validate his own mental struggles, saying it feels like a very small part of the impact the siege had on Australians, including the enormous pain felt by the families of cafe manager Tori Johnson and barrister Katrina Dawson who lost their lives. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;\&q;In my mind there&s;s a sense of, &s;I shouldn&s;t be impacted that way&s;,\&q; Baird said. \&q;I was just there as an observer and trying to coordinate a response.\&q; &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Several hostages who survived the terrifying ordeal, including Louisa Hope, told 60 Minutes that the memories will never leave them.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;\&q;For me personally it does not go away, but it is the thing that pushes me to continue to find the good or to find a good out of that awful situation,\&q; she said.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;&l;em&g;Image credits: 60 Minutes&l;/em&g;&l;/p&g;\n&q;,&q;Author&q;:&q;Charlotte Foster&q;,&q;Images&q;:&q;/media/2025/01/mike-baird-lindt.jpg&q;,&q;Captions&q;:&q;{\&q;value\&q;:\&q;\&q;}&q;,&q;PBembedid&q;:&q;&q;,&q;VimeoLink&q;:&q;&q;,&q;Url&q;:&q;it-doesn-t-go-away-former-nsw-premier-reflects-on-lindt-siege&q;,&q;DisplayDate&q;:&q;2025-01-13T11:14:20&q;,&q;UpdateDate&q;:&q;2025-01-13T11:15:05&q;,&q;Sections&q;:&q;Caring&q;,&q;Tags&q;:&q;caring,Mike Baird,Lindt,mental health,seige&q;,&q;Region&q;:&q;AUS&q;,&q;Published&q;:1},{&q;Id&q;:161466,&q;ArticleId&q;:152306,&q;Title&q;:&q;Women spend more of their money on health care than men.

However, it’s clear women spend a &l;a href\&q;https://www.publish.csiro.au/ah/pdf/AH18191\&q;&g;greater proportion of their overall expenditure&l;/a&g; on health care than men. They’re also more likely to &l;a href\&q;https://grattan.edu.au/news/healthcare-out-of-pocket-costs-an-agenda-for-international-womens-day/\&q;&g;skip or delay medical care&l;/a&g; due to the cost.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;So why do women often spend more of their money on health care, and how can we address this gap?&l;/p&g;\n&l;h2&g;Women have more chronic diseases, and access more services&l;/h2&g;\n&l;p&g;Women are &l;a href\&q;https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/health/health-conditions-and-risks/health-conditions-prevalence/latest-release\&q;&g;more likely&l;/a&g; to have a chronic health condition compared to men. They’re also more likely to report having multiple chronic conditions.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;While men generally die earlier, women are more likely to spend more of their life &l;a href\&q;https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpub/article/PIIS2468-2667(24)00053-7/fulltext\&q;&g;living with disease&l;/a&g;. There are also some conditions which affect women more than men, such as &l;a href\&q;https://theconversation.com/how-biological-differences-between-men-and-women-alter-immune-responses-and-affect-womens-health-208802\&q;&g;autoimmune conditions&l;/a&g; (for example, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis).&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Further, medical treatments can sometimes be &l;a href\&q;https://aci.health.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/967984/CIU-Evidence-Brief-Gender-disparity-and-gender-equality-measures-in-health.pdf\&q;&g;less effective for women&l;/a&g; due to a focus on men in medical research.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;These disparities are likely significant in understanding why women &l;a href\&q;https://grattan.edu.au/news/healthcare-out-of-pocket-costs-an-agenda-for-international-womens-day/\&q;&g;access health services&l;/a&g; more than men.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;For example, &l;a href\&q;https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/men-women/female-health/contents/access-health-care\&q;&g;88% of women&l;/a&g; saw a GP in 2021–22 compared to &l;a href\&q;https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/men-women/male-health/contents/access-health-care\&q;&g;79% of men&l;/a&g;.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;As the number of GPs &l;a href\&q;https://practices.hotdoc.com.au/blog/the-decline-of-bulk-billing-and-its-impact-on-general-practice-in-australia/#:%7E:textThe%20Medicare%20rebate%20for%20patients,to%20ensure%20their%20financial%20sustainability.\&q;&g;offering bulk billing&l;/a&g; continues to decline, women are likely to need to pay more out-of-pocket, because they &l;a href\&q;https://www.aihw.gov.au/getmedia/32ea8a7f-50d5-4047-b70b-92dd63d387b8/aihw-phe239-240-factsheet.pdf.aspx\&q;&g;see a GP more often&l;/a&g;.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;In 2020–21, &l;a href\&q;https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/men-women/female-health/contents/access-health-care\&q;&g;4.3% of women&l;/a&g; said they had delayed seeing a GP due to cost at least once in the previous 12 months, compared to &l;a href\&q;https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/men-women/male-health/contents/access-health-care\&q;&g;2.7% of men&l;/a&g;.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Data from the &l;a href\&q;https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/health/health-services/patient-experiences/2020-21\&q;&g;Australian Bureau of Statistics&l;/a&g; has also shown women are more likely to delay or avoid seeing a mental health professional due to cost.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Women are also more likely to need prescription medications, owing at least partly to their increased rates of chronic conditions. This adds further out-of-pocket costs. In 2020–21, &l;a href\&q;https://grattan.edu.au/news/healthcare-out-of-pocket-costs-an-agenda-for-international-womens-day/\&q;&g;62% of women&l;/a&g; received a prescription, compared to 37% of men.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;In the same period, &l;a href\&q;https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/men-women/female-health/contents/access-health-care\&q;&g;6.1% of women&l;/a&g; delayed getting, or did not get prescribed medication because of the cost, compared to &l;a href\&q;https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/men-women/male-health/contents/access-health-care\&q;&g;4.9% of men&l;/a&g;.&l;/p&g;\n&l;h2&g;Reproductive health conditions&l;/h2&g;\n&l;p&g;While women are disproportionately affected by chronic health conditions throughout their lifespan, much of the disparity in health-care needs is concentrated between the first period and menopause.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Almost &l;a href\&q;https://www.jeanhailes.org.au/news/impact-of-pelvic-pain-vastly-underestimated\&q;&g;half of women&l;/a&g; aged over 18 report having experienced chronic pelvic pain in the previous five years. This can be caused by conditions such as endometriosis, dysmenorrhoea (period pain), vulvodynia (vulva pain), and bladder pain.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;&l;a href\&q;https://www.aihw.gov.au/news-media/media-releases/2023/2023-september/1-in-7-australian-women-aged-44-49-have-endometriosis\&q;&g;One in seven women&l;/a&g; will have a diagnosis of endometriosis by age 49.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Meanwhile, a quarter of all women aged 45–64 &l;a href\&q;https://www.jeanhailes.org.au/research/womens-health-survey/menopause-in-australian-women\&q;&g;report symptoms&l;/a&g; related to menopause that are significant enough to disrupt their daily life.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;All of these conditions can significantly reduce quality of life and increase the need to seek health care, sometimes including surgical treatment.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Of course, conditions like endometriosis don’t just affect women. They also impact &l;a href\&q;https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10501128/\&q;&g;trans men&l;/a&g;, intersex people, and those who are gender diverse.&l;/p&g;\n&l;h2&g;Diagnosis can be costly&l;/h2&g;\n&l;p&g;Women often have to wait &l;a href\&q;https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9518795/\&q;&g;longer to get a diagnosis&l;/a&g; for chronic conditions. One &l;a href\&q;https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.10.12.23296976v2.full-text\&q;&g;preprint study&l;/a&g; found women wait an average of 134 days (around 4.5 months) longer than men for a diagnosis of a long-term chronic disease.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Delays in diagnosis often result in &l;a href\&q;https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33004965/\&q;&g;needing to see more doctors&l;/a&g;, again increasing the costs.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Despite affecting about as many people as diabetes, it takes an average of between &l;a href\&q;https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33050751/\&q;&g;six-and-a-half&l;/a&g; to &l;a href\&q;https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33004965/\&q;&g;eight years&l;/a&g; to diagnose endometriosis in Australia. This can be attributed to a &l;a href\&q;https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35928674/\&q;&g;number of factors&l;/a&g; including society’s normalisation of women’s pain, poor knowledge about endometriosis among some health professionals, and the lack of affordable, non-invasive methods to accurately diagnose the condition.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;There have been recent improvements, with the introduction of &l;a href\&q;https://www.health.gov.au/ministers/the-hon-mark-butler-mp/media/historic-medicare-changes-for-women-battling-endometriosis#:%7E:textIn%20addition%20to%20the%20specialised,with%20complex%20histories%20and%20symptoms.\&q;&g;Medicare rebates for longer GP consultations&l;/a&g; of up to 60 minutes. While this is not only for women, this extra time will be valuable in diagnosing and managing complex conditions.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;But gender inequality issues still exist in the Medicare Benefits Schedule. For example, both pelvic and breast ultrasound rebates are &l;a href\&q;https://womensagenda.com.au/latest/the-gender-medicare-gap-is-seeing-women-pay-more-for-ultrasounds-and-other-health-services/\&q;&g;less than a scan for the scrotum&l;/a&g;, and &l;a href\&q;https://www.endozone.com.au/treatment/MRI\&q;&g;no rebate&l;/a&g; exists for the MRI investigation of a woman’s pelvic pain.&l;/p&g;\n&l;h2&g;Management can be expensive too&l;/h2&g;\n&l;p&g;Many chronic conditions, &l;a href\&q;https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/0167482X.2020.1825374?casa_tokenyIlFZg_vJxsAAAAA%3ALwSa5DBMoDDWTiZsU1FC0MLLXkDd_eWBrGa2gr8b6NeRevp4ynlsTD_IMMYV_ek766j2P5C-B4Qy#d1e167\&q;&g;such as endometriosis&l;/a&g;, which has a wide range of symptoms but no cure, can be very hard to manage. People with endometriosis often use allied health and &l;a href\&q;https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/imj.15494?casa_token1sc4ZMGvDjIAAAAA%3AIrIY2B-RNVDDnUPMSsHI4axnBiTv-omNDHGlNSpsrm_qbMGY9iQ4htIyco5mj-Qhd7krsp7rfHtcbQ\&q;&g;complementary medicine&l;/a&g; to help with symptoms.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;On average, women are more likely than men to use both &l;a href\&q;https://www.racgp.org.au/afp/2017/may/patterns-of-complementary-and-alternative-medi-2\&q;&g;complementary therapies&l;/a&g; and &l;a href\&q;https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/primary-health-care/general-practice-allied-health-primary-care\&q;&g;allied health&l;/a&g;.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;While women with chronic conditions can access a &l;a href\&q;https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/chronic-disease-management-plan?context20\&q;&g;chronic disease management plan&l;/a&g;, which provides Medicare-subsidised visits to a range of allied health services (for example, physiotherapist, psychologist, dietitian), this plan only subsidises five sessions per calendar year. And the reimbursement is &l;a href\&q;https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9346321/\&q;&g;usually around 50% or less&l;/a&g;, so there are still significant out-of-pocket costs.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;In the case of chronic pelvic pain, the cost of accessing allied or complementary health services has been found to average &l;a href\&q;https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12905-022-01618-z\&q;&g;A$480.32 across a two-month period&l;/a&g; (across both those who have a chronic disease management plan and those who don’t).&l;/p&g;\n&l;h2&g;More spending, less saving&l;/h2&g;\n&l;p&g;Womens’ health-care needs can also perpetuate financial strain beyond direct health-care costs. For example, &l;a href\&q;https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31600241\&q;&g;women with endometriosis&l;/a&g; and chronic pelvic pain are often caught in a cycle of needing time off from work to attend medical appointments.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Our &l;a href\&q;https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-5480104/v1\&q;&g;preliminary research&l;/a&g; has shown these repeated requests, combined with the common dismissal of symptoms associated with pelvic pain, means women sometimes face discrimination at work. This can lead to lack of career progression, underemployment, and premature retirement.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Similarly, with &l;a href\&q;https://www.superannuation.asn.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/ASFAResearch_ImpactofMenopauseOnRetirement_080324.pdf\&q;&g;160,000 women&l;/a&g; entering menopause each year in Australia (and this number expected to increase with population growth), the &l;a href\&q;https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Senate/Community_Affairs/Menopause/Report/Chapter_3_-_Impact_on_work_and_the_economic_consequences_of_menopause#:%7E:text3.1This%20chapter%20explores%20the,on%20partners%20or%20family%20members.\&q;&g;financial impacts&l;/a&g; are substantial.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;As many as &l;a href\&q;https://www.superannuation.asn.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/ASFAResearch_ImpactofMenopauseOnRetirement_080324.pdf\&q;&g;one in four women&l;/a&g; may either shift to part-time work, take time out of the workforce, or retire early due to menopause, therefore earning less and paying less into their super.&l;/p&g;\n&l;h2&g;How can we close this gap?&l;/h2&g;\n&l;p&g;Even though women are more prone to chronic conditions, until relatively recently, much of medical research has been &l;a href\&q;https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8812498/\&q;&g;done on men&l;/a&g;. We’re only now beginning to realise important differences in how men and women experience certain conditions (such as &l;a href\&q;https://www.annualreviews.org/content/journals/10.1146/annurev-neuro-092820-105941\&q;&g;chronic pain&l;/a&g;).&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Investing in women’s health research will be important to improve treatments so women are less burdened by chronic conditions.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;In the 2024–25 federal budget, the government committed $160 million towards &l;a href\&q;https://www.health.gov.au/ministers/the-hon-ged-kearney-mp/media/reforming-the-health-system-to-improve-sexual-and-reproductive-care\&q;&g;a women’s health package&l;/a&g; to tackle gender bias in the health system (including cost disparities), upskill medical professionals, and improve sexual and reproductive care.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;While this reform is welcome, continued, long-term investment into women’s health is crucial.&l;!-- Below is The Conversation&s;s page counter tag.

I knew that I have doubles so I kind of was taking everything in tonight, in those moments, it was nuts.\&q;&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;“I didn’t want to just throw in the towel and walk off or retire. I was hurting physically but I respect my opponent and the fans that waited hours to come see me play.”&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;He later added: “Honestly, the reason I kept playing, tried to play tonight, was because of the fans. As I said, I don’t know how many times I’m going to be back here again.\&q;&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;“That’s why I didn’t have headphones on, I wasn’t listening to music. I walked out there today, wanted to hear the crowd. There were some special moments.”&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Kyrgios still plans to team up with Thanasi Kokkinakis in the doubles and will continue to play out the season in singles.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;“It’s hard. When you’re competing for the biggest tournaments in the world and you’re struggling to win sets physically, it’s pretty tough,” he continued.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;“But I’ve still got a long year ahead. I’m trusting the process that I can still be able to do some cool things this year at some stage.”&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Despite the immediate devastation, Kyrgios was targeting a deep run at Wimbledon.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;“Obviously Wimbledon is a big one for me. I still feel like obviously, if I don’t have an abdominal strain, I feel when I sustained that five days before a grand slam, it’s not ideal,” he said.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;“Hopefully, if my body’s feeling good, I’ll be able to make some noise at Wimbledon.”&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;&l;em&g;Image credits: Rachel Bach/Shutterstock Editorial &l;/em&g;&l;/p&g;\n&q;,&q;Author&q;:&q;Charlotte Foster&q;,&q;Images&q;:&q;/media/2025/01/Kyrgios-aus-open.jpg&q;,&q;Captions&q;:&q;{\&q;value\&q;:\&q;\&q;}&q;,&q;PBembedid&q;:&q;&q;,&q;VimeoLink&q;:&q;&q;,&q;Url&q;:&q;nick-kyrgios-makes-retirement-announcement-after-aus-open-comeback&q;,&q;DisplayDate&q;:&q;2025-01-14T08:45:56&q;,&q;UpdateDate&q;:&q;2025-01-14T08:54:01&q;,&q;Sections&q;:&q;Retirement Life&q;,&q;Tags&q;:&q;retirement life,Australian Open,Nick Kyrgios&q;,&q;Region&q;:&q;AUS&q;,&q;Published&q;:1},{&q;Id&q;:161499,&q;ArticleId&q;:152329,&q;Title&q;:&q;Do natural fabrics really keep us cooler in summer?

As the weather warms, many of us reach for light-coloured clothes in natural fabrics, such as cotton and linen.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;But why are natural fabrics like these so much better at keeping us cool when the weather is hot?&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Here’s what the science says.&l;/p&g;\n&l;h2&g;Natural fabrics and sweat: a match made in heaven&l;/h2&g;\n&l;p&g;In hot weather, we sweat. As sweat evaporates, it carries heat away, which helps cool the body down.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;In hot weather, then, we want clothes that help take moisture away from the body as efficiently as possible.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Natural fabrics are made using fibres extracted from plant- or animal-based sources such as cotton, linen, hemp, wool and silk.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;The primary component of all plant-based fibres is cellulose. Animal-based fibres are made up of proteins such as keratin and silk fibroin.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Cellulose molecules are rich in compounds called hydroxyl groups that attract water and moisture. In scientific terms, they are hydrophilic – they love water.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;So, clothing made of cotton and linen is highly hydrophilic. It tends to absorb moisture and disperse it across the fabric, allowing it to evaporate more easily.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;This takes the sweat away quickly, making it more comfortable and breathable and allowing us to stay cool in sweltering temperatures.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;One downside of the natural fabrics is they wrinkle quickly (some people, of course, like that look).&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;And on a really hot, sweaty day, natural fabrics can get heavy and wet.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Animal fibres are basically proteins, and their properties vary depending on the source.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Wool has been bio-engineered over millions of years to be comfortable to wear. Wool fibres are hydrophilic on the inside and hydrophobic on the outside, meaning they’re both water resistant and good at wicking moisture away.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;On the other hand, silk fabrics are very good at helping regulate temperature; they keep us cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather.&l;/p&g;\n&l;h2&g;Synthetic fabrics: less wrinkly, more sweaty&l;/h2&g;\n&l;p&g;Synthetic fabrics, on the other hand, are lighter and tend to wrinkle less.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Common synthetic fabrics (such as polyester, nylon and acrylic) are all made from petroleum-based chemicals.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Most synthetic fibres are made of long chains of hydrogen and carbon atoms and do not contain the hydroxyl groups we discussed earlier.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Such fibres are therefore hydrophobic – they hate water. This means the water can’t spread evenly across the fabric and evaporate easily.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;They trap sweat against the skin, making the clothes less breathable and comfortable when the weather is warm and humid.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;However, some synthetic fabrics used in certain types of active wear can wick sweat away from body.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;And some semi-synthetic fabrics such as rayon or tencel (which are made from wood pulp or cotton with synthetic fibres) are more breathable than other synthetic fabrics such as polyester or nylon.&l;/p&g;\n&l;h2&g;Fabric weave makes a difference, too&l;/h2&g;\n&l;p&g;The colour of the clothing is also a contributing factor to keep you cool during summer. Light colours reflect sunlight away from you and help to keep the body cooler.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;There is some evidence dark colours absorb the &l;a href\&q;https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214157X23012054\&q;&g;sunlight and associated heat&l;/a&g;, making the surface of the skin warmer than normal.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Another factor affecting breathability and comfort of clothing is the way the fabrics are woven.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Fabrics that are loosely woven (sometimes known as “open weave”) with thinner materials naturally have more airflow, which helps you keep cool.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;For a quick, non-scientific test, hold a fabric up and see how much light passes through it. The more light you can see, the more breathable it likely is.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;The way the fabric is treated can play a role, too; such as for softening and wrinkle resistance.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Using a fabric softener when you do a load of laundry usually doesn’t affect fabric breathability; softeners modify the surface of the fabric but don’t change the internal structure or porous nature of the fabrics.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Wrinkle resistance is the ability of the fabric to stay smooth and polished even after washing. Synthetic fabrics are inherently wrinkle resistant. Natural fibres are more prone to wrinkles but can be chemically treated on the fabric surface during manufacturing to make them wrinkle resistant.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Such treatments, however, may form layers on top of the fabric blocking the airflow, leading them to be less breathable.&l;!-- Below is The Conversation&s;s page counter tag.

That version has been praised for the &l;a href\&q;https://www.musicradar.com/news/bob-dylan-making-of-nashville-skyline\&q;&g;skip and groove of the acoustic guitar performances&l;/a&g; and how Dylan and Cash’s vocals are &l;a href\&q;https://www.musicradar.com/news/bob-dylan-making-of-nashville-skyline\&q;&g;instinctive and spontaneous&l;/a&g;.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Another view would be that the guitars are out of time and the vocals are under-rehearsed – and the same shortcomings are on display during the song’s performance on the &l;a href\&q;https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/johnny-cash-bob-dylan-duet-girl-north-country/\&q;&g;Johnny Cash show&l;/a&g;. Far superior in my humble opinion is the 2005 version by alt-rock band Eels.&l;/p&g;\n&l;figure&g;&l;iframe src\&q;https://www.youtube.com/embed/OOCOxRIB2Zo?wmodetransparent&a;start0\&q; width\&q;440\&q; height\&q;260\&q; frameborder\&q;0\&q; allowfullscreen\&q;allowfullscreen\&q;&g;&l;/iframe&g;&l;figcaption&g;&l;span class\&q;caption\&q;&g;Girl from the North Country by Eels.&l;/span&g;&l;/figcaption&g;&l;/figure&g;\n&l;p&g;The band performed the song for their &l;a href\&q;https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xv3eel\&q;&g;Eels with Strings: Live at Town Hall&l;/a&g; DVD and album. Band leader Mark Everett switched it from acoustic guitar to piano. His gentle arpeggiated playing complemented his &l;a href\&q;https://www.theguardian.com/music/2008/feb/27/popandrock.mainsection\&q;&g;gruff yet tender&l;/a&g; vocals and drew every drop of emotion out of the lyrics and melody. He keeps in time, too.&l;/p&g;\n&l;h2&g;2. Mr Tambourine Man by The Byrds&l;/h2&g;\n&l;p&g;A masterclass in lyric writing, Mr Tambourine Man (1965) saw Dylan &l;a href\&q;https://genius.com/Bob-dylan-mr-tambourine-man-lyrics\&q;&g;flexing his linguistic muscles&l;/a&g; to reel off dozens of intricate internal and end rhymes, including my personal favourite:&l;/p&g;\n&l;blockquote&g;\n&l;p&g;Though I know that evening’s empire has returned into sand&l;br /&g;Vanished from my hand&l;br /&g;Left me blindly here to stand, but still not sleeping.&l;/p&g;\n&l;/blockquote&g;\n&l;p&g;The Byrds’ version, released in the same year and hitting number one in both the US and the UK, isn’t better than the brilliant original (how could it be?) but it is brilliantly different.&l;/p&g;\n&l;figure&g;&l;iframe src\&q;https://www.youtube.com/embed/Swqw5a8I4b4?wmodetransparent&a;start0\&q; width\&q;440\&q; height\&q;260\&q; frameborder\&q;0\&q; allowfullscreen\&q;allowfullscreen\&q;&g;&l;/iframe&g;&l;figcaption&g;&l;span class\&q;caption\&q;&g;The Byrds’ version of Mr Tambourine Man.&l;/span&g;&l;/figcaption&g;&l;/figure&g;\n&l;p&g;Abridging Dylan’s version in order to make for a more palatable running time for the singles market, what it lacks in lyrics it more than makes up for in melody. The harmonies in the chorus add to Dylan’s main vocal line. It was an era-defining moment that launched the folk-rock genre.&l;/p&g;\n&l;h2&g;3. All Along The Watchtower by The Jimi Hendrix Experience&l;/h2&g;\n&l;p&g;Dylan may have released the &l;a href\&q;https://www.youtube.com/watch?vbT7Hj-ea0VE\&q;&g;original version&l;/a&g; of All Along The Watchtower on his John Wesley Harding album in 1967, but it was &l;a href\&q;https://www.youtube.com/watch?vTLV4_xaYynY\&q;&g;The Jimi Hendrix Experience’s cover&l;/a&g;, released just six months later, which has largely been accepted as the definitive recording.&l;/p&g;\n&l;figure&g;&l;iframe src\&q;https://www.youtube.com/embed/NdSyFxTDQUM?wmodetransparent&a;start0\&q; width\&q;440\&q; height\&q;260\&q; frameborder\&q;0\&q; allowfullscreen\&q;allowfullscreen\&q;&g;&l;/iframe&g;&l;figcaption&g;&l;span class\&q;caption\&q;&g;All Along the Watchtower performed by Jimi Hendrix.&l;/span&g;&l;/figcaption&g;&l;/figure&g;\n&l;p&g;Taking Dylan’s gentle acoustic guitar and harmonica number and feeding it through his legendary white Strat, Hendrix rocks seven shades of summer out of the song until it takes on a completely new life.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;So great was his reinterpretation (it seems derisive to merely label it a “cover”) that as well as being ranked at number 40 in Rolling Stone’s &l;a href\&q;https://au.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-songs-of-all-time-30065/the-jimi-hendrix-experience-all-along-the-watchtower-30527/\&q;&g;500 Greatest Songs of All Time&l;/a&g; list, Dylan amended the song’s structure for &l;a href\&q;https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/what-did-bob-dylan-think-jimi-hendrix-version-along-the-watchtower/\&q;&g;later live performances&l;/a&g; in order for it to be more like Hendrix’s.&l;/p&g;\n&l;h2&g;4. If Not For You by George Harrison&l;/h2&g;\n&l;p&g;Granted, I only heard Dylan’s recording of &l;a href\&q;https://www.youtube.com/watch?vyyouhbgAiCA\&q;&g;If Not For You&l;/a&g; after already being familiar with George Harrison’s version included on his 1970 album &l;a href\&q;https://www.youtube.com/watch?vXscuV_R6tr4\&q;&g;All Things Must Pass&l;/a&g; for several years, so it was always going to feel slightly foreign to me.&l;/p&g;\n&l;figure&g;&l;iframe src\&q;https://www.youtube.com/embed/E28E1hEZN8g?wmodetransparent&a;start0\&q; width\&q;440\&q; height\&q;260\&q; frameborder\&q;0\&q; allowfullscreen\&q;allowfullscreen\&q;&g;&l;/iframe&g;&l;figcaption&g;&l;span class\&q;caption\&q;&g;George Harrison performs If Not For You.&l;/span&g;&l;/figcaption&g;&l;/figure&g;\n&l;p&g;What I wasn’t expecting, though, was how unimpressive and &l;a href\&q;https://www.youtube.com/watch?vyyouhbgAiCA\&q;&g;strangely flat&l;/a&g; it seems compared to Harrison’s recording. Dylan’s run-together vocal lines were backed by oddly jaunty and accented side-stick drumming (with the snare struck on the second beat but then a quaver before the fourth instead of on the fourth itself) and punctuated with glockenspiel. It all adds up to a slightly confused and messy arrangement, which takes attention away from the sincerity of the lyrics.&l;/p&g;\n&l;h2&g;5. If Not For You by Olivia Newton John&l;/h2&g;\n&l;p&g;When Olivia Newton-John issued her own cover of If Not For You in 1971, she wisely opted for the &l;a href\&q;https://americansongwriter.com/how-bob-dylan-and-george-harrison-helped-olivia-newton-john-land-her-first-hit/\&q;&g;same arrangement&l;/a&g; as Harrison’s, thankfully, minus Phil Spector’s muddy over-production – and scored an international hit with it in the process.&l;/p&g;\n&l;figure&g;&l;iframe src\&q;https://www.youtube.com/embed/aJvwcpkBN3A?wmodetransparent&a;start0\&q; width\&q;440\&q; height\&q;260\&q; frameborder\&q;0\&q; allowfullscreen\&q;allowfullscreen\&q;&g;&l;/iframe&g;&l;figcaption&g;&l;span class\&q;caption\&q;&g;If Not For You performed by Olivia Newton John.&l;/span&g;&l;/figcaption&g;&l;/figure&g;\n&l;p&g;To my mind If Not For You remains one of Dylan’s most simplistic, beautiful songs – so long as he’s not singing it.&l;/p&g;\n&l;h2&g;6. Ballad of Hollis Brown by David Lynch&l;/h2&g;\n&l;p&g;Appearing on The Times They Are A-Changin’ (1964), Dylan presents the five-minute &l;a href\&q;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v_8xkxy3tXTA\&q;&g;Ballad of Hollis Brown&l;/a&g; as its title suggests, as a &l;a href\&q;https://pressbooks.pub/shawangunktest/chapter/pounding-in-your-brain-form-in-dylans-ballad-of-hollis-brown/#:%7E:text%E2%80%9CHollis%20Brown%E2%80%9D%20is%20most%20assuredly,that%20plays%20is%20Dylan%27s%20guitar.\&q;&g;traditional ballad in both form and theme&l;/a&g;. His voice is backed by a lone acoustic guitar, minus even his ever-present harmonica.&l;/p&g;\n&l;figure&g;&l;iframe src\&q;https://www.youtube.com/embed/AXnqohIm9g4?wmodetransparent&a;start0\&q; width\&q;440\&q; height\&q;260\&q; frameborder\&q;0\&q; allowfullscreen\&q;allowfullscreen\&q;&g;&l;/iframe&g;&l;figcaption&g;&l;span class\&q;caption\&q;&g;The Ballad of Hollis Brown by David Lynch.&l;/span&g;&l;/figcaption&g;&l;/figure&g;\n&l;p&g;Nearly half a century later, director David Lynch took time out from his day job to &l;a href\&q;https://www.youtube.com/watch?vAXnqohIm9g4\&q;&g;reimagine the song&l;/a&g; as drum-heavy claustrophobia, twisting the original until it would have been unrecognisable if not for its title and lyrics. Dylan diehards may want to give this one a miss, but for those of us who enjoyed the music from the Roadhouse in Twin Peaks series three, this is a winner.&l;!-- Below is The Conversation&s;s page counter tag.

She&s;s always had a keen interest in being on the front foot to her local community,\&q; the close friend reportedly said. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;\&q;She may well just run for a seat in the upcoming election.\&q;&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;A few days into the new year, Wilkinson shared a cryptic post to social media revealing that she was ready for \&q;new beginnings\&q;. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;This comes after her contract with Channel 10 finally lapsed on New Year&s;s eve. Rumours suggest that Wilkinson was on a salary of $1.7 million per year, and up until that point was still receiving a monthly cheque from the company. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;In the two years since vanishing from Aussie screens, Wilkinson has been trying to slowly build back her public image with quiet appearances at a handful of red carpet events.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Her recent attendance at the launch of wellness brand Vegamour&s;s new GRO+ Advanced Hair Serum at Bondi Icebergs, is Wilkinson&s;s latest effort to \&q;ease back into the Sydney social scene\&q;  according to the &l;em&g;Daily Telegraph&l;/em&g;.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;It follows rumours that the former TV host was keen to get back to delivering more \&q;blockbuster interviews\&q;

A new study reveals that nearly one-third of Australian shoppers are more open to using AI chatbots this year than last, a significant shift in consumer behaviour. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Surprisingly, it’s not just the younger generations leading the charge. Australians aged 55 and over are also showing a growing willingness to embrace chatbots for finding the best deals and simplifying their holiday shopping. But what does this mean for retailers, and how are consumers balancing convenience with the desire for personalised service?&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g; AI chatbots are revolutionising how we shop. From generating tailored gift recommendations to answering product questions in real-time, chatbots are no longer just a novelty, they’re a powerful tool in the modern retail landscape. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Retail giants like Amazon have adopted these advancements, offering AI-powered buying guides that help consumers navigate complex purchasing decisions. Whether you’re looking for the latest tech gadget or the perfect pair of shoes, these tools streamline the shopping experience, saving time and effort during the busy Christmas rush.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Older Australians are joining the AI revolution and the adoption of over 55s highlights a fascinating trend - older consumers are increasingly willing to experiment with technology. Their openness to chatbots suggests a broader acceptance of AI in everyday life, driven by its ability to simplify tasks and provide instant support. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;However, this rapid technological adoption doesn’t come without concerns. Many Australian consumers are apprehensive about the fast changing shopping experience. They fear losing the personal touch that has traditionally defined retail interactions. But the reality is that these advancements can enhance the shopping journey by freeing up staff to engage in more meaningful ways with customers. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Here at TP, we feel the key to maintaining customer trust lies in using AI to complement human assistance, not replace it. Automating repetitive tasks, answering questions and providing tailored recommendations. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;For retailers the messaging is clear, innovation must go hand-in-hand with empathy. Businesses that invest in both AI technology and high quality customer service teams will be positioned to meet evolving customer expectations. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;AI isn’t just transforming the customer experience, it’s also delivering cost efficiency for retailers. Automated systems reduce the burden on support staff enabling faster responses to customer enquiries while lowering operational costs. This dual benefit is why brands are rushing to integrate AI-powered solutions like customer relationship management (CRM) systems, omnichannel tracking and loyalty programs. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;It’s important retailers find balance and use AI to enhance the customer journey and not overshadow it. Self-service options and chatbots are invaluable but they should be backed by a strong human support team for more complex queries. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;For customers, the rise of chatbots means faster service, better deals and smoother shopping journeys. But it also highlights the growing importance of choosing brands that value customer care. TP’s research shows that half of consumers now prioritise companies with excellent service, a trend likely to shape the future of retail. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;As Australians embrace AI this Christmas, the message is clear, technology is not the enemy of personalisation. Instead, it’s a tool that when used thoughtfully, can make holiday shopping less stressful and more enjoyable for everyone. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;This holiday season, chatbots are proving to be the ultimate shopping assistant but only for brands willing to blend innovation with a human touch. As we look ahead, one thing is certain, the future of retail will be shaped by how well technology and empathy can co-exist.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;&l;em&g;Image credits: Shutterstock &l;/em&g;&l;/p&g;\n&q;,&q;Author&q;:&q;Over60&q;,&q;Images&q;:&q;/media/2024/12/chatbot-pr.jpg&q;,&q;Captions&q;:&q;{\&q;value\&q;:\&q;\&q;}&q;,&q;PBembedid&q;:&q;&q;,&q;VimeoLink&q;:&q;&q;,&q;Url&q;:&q;australians-are-embracing-chatbots-this-christmas-but-what-does-it-mean-for-retailers-and-consumers&q;,&q;DisplayDate&q;:&q;2024-12-19T10:08:01&q;,&q;UpdateDate&q;:&q;2024-12-19T10:10:28&q;,&q;Sections&q;:&q;Technology&q;,&q;Tags&q;:&q;technology,chatbot,Christmas&q;,&q;Region&q;:&q;AUS&q;,&q;Published&q;:1},&q;top4Property&q;:{&q;Id&q;:155796,&q;ArticleId&q;:148142,&q;Title&q;:&q;Dr Chris Brown recalls \&q;dramatic\&q; personal renovation disaster&q;,&q;MetaDescription&q;:&q;The TV vet, who is always ready to tackle anything, has shared his own renovation fail on his latest reality show.

with a lot of underpinning and structural support. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;“A lot of those steel support posts that you can sort of wind up and down, they went in, and thankfully the house didn’t fold in half,” he said, laughing at the situation. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;He added that unexpected situations like this are what make renovation shows so appealing as \&q;there’s so much natural drama, you don’t have to fake anything.\&q; &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;“Choices have to be made, and it’s either the right way or the wrong way, and you only really discover that as you go along,\&q; he added. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;“Sometimes it’s too late to turn back once you realise you’ve made a terrible mistake.”&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Chris added that his role on the show is almost as a\&q;coach\&q; to the pairs, supporting them through the renovation challenges, and helping them get to the finish line. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;“What these couples are going through, and just how much they put on the line to get these renovations done, is quite inspiring and quite uplifting and but also thoroughly entertaining,” he said. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;&l;em&g;Image: Seven&l;/em&g;&l;/p&g;\n&q;,&q;Author&q;:&q;Rizna Mutmainah&q;,&q;Images&q;:&q;/media/2024/05/ChrisBrownReno.jpg&q;,&q;Captions&q;:&q;{\&q;value\&q;:\&q;\&q;}&q;,&q;PBembedid&q;:&q;&q;,&q;VimeoLink&q;:&q;&q;,&q;Url&q;:&q;dr-chris-brown-recalls-dramatic-personal-renovation-disaster&q;,&q;DisplayDate&q;:&q;2024-05-27T09:30:17&q;,&q;UpdateDate&q;:&q;2024-05-27T09:45:35&q;,&q;Sections&q;:&q;Real Estate&q;,&q;Tags&q;:&q;Real Estate,TV,Dr Chris Brown,Renovation&q;,&q;Region&q;:&q;AUS&q;,&q;Published&q;:1},{&q;Id&q;:155712,&q;ArticleId&q;:148078,&q;Title&q;:&q;Yoko Ono selling John Lennon&s;s New York home for first time in 50 years&q;,&q;MetaDescription&q;:&q;Described as \&q;the base for their artistic ventures\&q;, the iconic building where Yoko lived with the late Beatles legend has hit the market for the first time in half a century.&q;,&q;Preview&q;:&q;&q;,&q;Body&q;:&q;&l;p&g;For the first time in 50 years, the house where John Lennon and Yoko Ono lived in New York City has hit the market.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;The brick, bluestone and terra cotta structure at 496 Broome St. was the first home the pair bought together in New York City before they moved to the Upper West Side of Manhattan. &l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Yoko Ono has held onto the property since she first bought it with the late Beatles member, and has now listed it with her son with JLL Real Estate, for an asking price of $US5.5 million ($8.23m AUD).&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;“The building on Broome St. was sort of like a base for their artistic ventures,” Philip Norman, author of “John Lennon: The Life,” told the &l;em&g;&l;a href\&q;https://nypost.com/2024/05/21/real-estate/yoko-ono-lists-former-nyc-home-for-5-5m/\&q;

Or perhaps you&s;re merely eager to unveil the hidden potential nestled within your property&s;s walls.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;From the size of your property to the nuances of its structure and condition, every facet contributes to the appraisal process. Agents meticulously scrutinise elements such as property size, bedroom configurations, fixtures and fittings, offering valuable insights into your property&s;s market positioning.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;Beyond tangible attributes, location exerts a profound influence on property values. Agents dissect the neighbourhood fabric, examining proximity to amenities, school catchments and transport accessibility. Additionally, factors like building structure, overall presentation and ease of access shape the appraisal narrative, underscoring the intricate interplay between tangible and intangible elements.&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;&l;strong&g;The crucial distinction: Valuations vs. Appraisals&l;/strong&g;&l;/p&g;\n&l;p&g;It&s;s imperative to &l;a href\&q;https://go.linkby.com/PXROBQFZ/understanding-property-appraisals/\&q; target\&q;_blank\&q; rel\&q;noopener\&q;&g;discern between property valuations and appraisals&l;/a&g;.
