One of the privileges of being a union rep was the great life lessons I learnt from the hardworking men and women I met. I kept vigil for two weeks with the families of Todd Russell and Brant Webb, and supported the underground miners rescuing the men at Beaconsfield. I visited night shifts at factories, and did early mornings at Flemington Racecourse to speak with the track work crew (some of whom I still catch up with during Spring Carnival) and made it to smoko at civil construction sites in time to chat to the fellas in the crib room.

'The rhythm of the game is very important,' Pesic said in a lengthy session at the podium after Serbia's elimination of fellow European Lithuania that eventually set up a semifinal date with a North American Canada team filled with familiar names from the NBA.

Promising new research suggests a total of just 4.5 minutes of vigorous activity that makes you huff and puff during daily tasks could reduce the risk of some cancers by up to 32 percent. Published in JAMA Oncology and led by the University of Sydney, Australia, the study used data from wearable devices to track the daily activity of over 22,000 'non-exercisers'. Researchers then followed the group's clinical health records for close to seven years to monitor for cancer. As few as four to five minutes of vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity or 'VILPA' was associated with a substantially lower cancer risk compared to those who undertook no VILPA.
