Josh Kennedy fires late to lift West Coast Eagles past St Kilda by 19 points

COMETH the hour, cometh the man.

Josh Kennedy climbed from the canvas to underline his match-winning credentials last night, as West Coast survived an ambush from St Kilda at Domain Stadium.

The Eagles trailed for nearly the entire match, before scraping home thanks to a lift in intensity when it mattered most.

Having barely been sighted, with just three disposals across the first three quarters, Kennedy emerged as a giant figure mid-way through a pulsating final term to kick three late goals.

With the Eagles down by 13 points, he dragged down two big marks in the space of three minutes and kicked accurately both times.

Kennedy added his fourth for the match to all but seal the result with three minutes remaining as West Coast breathed a huge sigh of relief.

The cup of coffee that could cause heart palpitations

The “world’s strongest coffee” is now available in the US, but just one cup could spill you over the daily caffeine limit.

“If you want to stand out, you need to be the ‘est’ — the biggest, smartest, strongest, or cheapest,” said Black Insomnia founder Sean Kristafor. “So when we wanted to compete in coffee, as a caffeine product, we had to be the strongest, but obviously, we don’t exceed the world guidelines.”

ISIS bomb factory to pack vehicles with deadly CHLORINEh in Mosul

Iraqi soldiers have discovered a bomb factory used by ISIS in Mosul featuring an armoured garbage truck painted in red to fool US spy planes.

Iraqi soldiers found two cars ready to be loaded with explosives and an armoured plated garbage truck destined to be used in suicide missions.

Government troops made the terrifying discovery in the Josah district as they advanced into the western half of the city, where hundreds of thousands are still trapped under the terror group’s control.

‘These two car bombs were under construction and were almost ready to be loaded with explosives to be used against us, but Daesh didn’t have time to deploy them before we liberated the area,’ Heider, a soldier with Iraq’s elite Rapid Response Division (ERD), told MailOnline.

Cyclone Debbie claims fourth victim, man, 77

Cyclone Debbie: Logan flooding now worse than 1974, body found in waters

Flooding in Logan brought on by ex-Tropical Cyclone Debbie is the worst in the city’s history, Mayor Luke Smith says, with more than 250 homes expected to be inundated.

The body of a 77-year-old man has been pulled from floodwaters at Eagleby, south of Brisbane.

He was found by emergency crews about 3:50pm not far from where he was seen last seen on Friday at Eagleby Road.

It comes at Logan Mayor Luke Smith declares flooding in the area, brought on by ex-Tropical Cyclone Debbie, as the worst in the area’s history.

Residents in some low-lying parts of the city, south of Brisbane, were told to consider leaving their homes today as flooding continued.

Thousands fled some areas in Logan, Beaudesert and the northern Gold Coast on Friday as the Albert and Logan rivers rose and inundated homes and businesses.

Today Cr Smith said 250 homes across Logan would experience inundation, but the severity would not be known until the Logan River receded.

“Logan has experienced the worst flooding it has ever experienced in the history of our city,” Cr Smith said.

“This is higher than 1974 and it’s more of an impact right across our city than we’ve ever seen.

Boko Haram kidnap 22 women and girls in Nigeria again

Boko Haram Islamists (file) abducted 22 girls and women on Thursday in two separate raids in northeast Nigeria, according to residents and vigilantes. Some of the girls were aged 17 or younger.

In the first attack on Thursday, the jihadists raided the village of Pulka near border with Cameroon where they kidnapped 18 girls.

‘Boko Haram fighters from Mamman Nur camp arrived in pickup vans around 6am and seized 14 young girls aged 17 and below while residents fled into the bush,’ a Pulka community leader told AFP by phone.

‘They picked four other girls who were fleeing the raid they came across in the bush outside the village,’ said the community leader who asked not to be named for fear of reprisals.

Apple wins Australian court ruling against banks to retain Apple Pay control

53-Apple-Pay-PA.jpgApple has won a major legal battle that had pitted it against some of Australia’s largest banks and will likely mean the tech giant can retain full control of the use of its payment technology in the country. The Australian Competition Consumer Commission (ACCC) announced on Friday that it had rejected a request by four of the country’s largest banks to negotiate with Apple over mobile payments.

The National Australia Bank, Westpac, Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Bendigo and Adelaide Bank had been trying to negotiate with Apple to allow iPhone users to make payments from their own integrated digital wallets instead of through Apple Pay, without paying Apple fees.

Brian Cox guide for Stargazing Live: Ten things to spot in night sky | Perth Now

HE’S the sexy professor who turned the world on to science.

And when you hear Brian Cox talk about the heavens above Australia, his passion for one of his speciality subjects — astronomy — is as clear as he’s hoping the night skies will be when he hosts a fascinating ABC special, Stargazing Live next week.

In an interactive TV event, designed to teach viewers about the universe above them, Cox will present three nights of what amounts to an astronomy master class from Coonabarabran’s world class observatory, Siding Springs in country NSW.

As complex as the subject may be, Cox believes this TV experience — already a huge success in the UK, where it has been airing for six years — makes “citizen science” accessible.

* Stargazing Live airs 8.30pm, Tues-Thurs on ABC. Stargazing: Brian Cox will respond to social media questions on Stargazing Live: Back To Earth at 9.30pm on ABC2 after each night’s telecast.
