As the transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Manchester United to see how their pursuit of Rice unfolds. Will they be able to secure his signature and usher in a new era at the club? Only time will tell, but one thing is for certain – the departure of Pogba could be the catalyst for a new chapter in Manchester United's history.I had my own Grand Designs moment recently during a family holiday on Rottnest Island when I had a hardhat preview tour of The Lodge Wadjemup. The sprawling $40 million hospitality and accommodation project, which completely reimagines the old Karma Rottnest site, was more than a month from completion and as such was a building site. However, channelling my inner Kevin McCloud, I got a real sense that the brains behind the bold redevelopment — Social Grounds Hospitality partners Miles Hull and Graeme Dick — are determined to create an iconic addition to the people’s paradise. The boldest move is that, unlike existing venues Hotel Rottnest and Isola, The Lodge Wadjemup does not face Thomson Bay. Patrons will enter the hotel and hospo venue from Digby Drive. Most of the eventual 100-plus hotel rooms and the conference centre face west so guests can enjoy sunsets over Garden Lake with Wadjemup Lighthouse in the distance. Sunsets Bar and Dining, overseen by head chef Mat Powell (Il Lido, Little Creatures), will offer Mediterranean-leaning food. He’s keen to keep things simple to ensure that they can feed up to 500 seatings while keeping everything on the menu between deliveries from the mainland. Powell took Bar & Bites backstage to show off several large commercial walk-in refrigerators. Beers on tap will be mostly West Aussie, plus Peroni, with wines from major investors Fogarty Wine Group and other local producers. Behind Sunsets facing east is Pelicans, a casual cafe and ice-cream kiosk for folks wanting a bite (or lick) before jumping on their bike or into the pristine waters. The grab-and-go option will offer soft serve ice-creams, something currently missing from Rotto. The rooms are compact, especially in the heritage-listed former boys’ reformatory, but well-appointed with pleasingly clean design from Space Collective Architects. The old 1970s-built motel-style rooms have also been renovated, with the old “Rotto orange” walls repainted in crisp Santorini white. Reservations for the first 60-odd refurbished rooms will open within the next month, with the newly constructed rooms, pools, conference centre and Indigenous cultural space Gathering Ground due to arrive in mid-2025. On the tour, The Lodge Wadjemup general manager Jeremy Nordkamp said he’s been asked one question more than any other since plans for the ambitious project were unveiled. What are they doing with infamous Governor’s Bar? The dingy dive bar was both an anachronism on the idyllic island and a great escape from pests endemic to Rotto — quokkas, seagulls, children and inexperienced cyclists. The Guv is gone. The Lodge Wadjemup marks a new era for Rotto. Now the challenge is to find around 130 staff to make this potential game-changer live up to its immense promise.

SHANGHAI (Reuters): China’s Huawei, blacklisted by the U.S., said on Saturday it is targeting 100,000 applications for its Harmony operating system in coming months as it seeks widespread help to achieve self-reliance. The tech giant has more than 15,000 applications based on Harmony that can meet consumers’ basic needs, but the ecosystem requires more personalised and boutique apps, Huawei Chairman Xu Zhijun told a conference on Saturday. “Based on our analysis, for the Harmony ecosystem to be mature in meeting consumer needs, 100,000 apps is the milestone, and that is the key objective over the next six to 12 months,” Xu said in a speech posted on the WeChat messaging app. The ambitious app target highlights the urgency in developing home-grown technologies as China faces elevated tensions with the U.S. in areas ranging from trade to technology as President-elect Donald Trump threatens to be tougher on China. Huawei launched its operating system five years ago after U.S. sanctions cut off support for Google’s Android. The Shenzhen-based company, which sells products ranging from smartphones to laptops, later developed an open-source version of the Harmony system. Due to the U.S. sanctions, “Huawei has been forced to accelerate developing its own operating system,” Xu said. Although much progress has been made, “for any operation system, no matter how advanced it is, it would be of no value if no one uses it.” Xu expressed hope that developers could work hard to enrich app offerings and called on government agencies, state companies and social organizations to use Harmony as their operating system at work. He asked consumers to be tolerant of the system’s immaturity, saying, “The more people use it, the more quickly it will become mature.” Huawei unveiled Harmony in August 2019, three months after Washington placed it under trade restrictions over alleged security concerns. Huawei denies its equipment poses a risk. “No way back leads to victory,” Xu said. “Huawei will unwaveringly invest in developing the Harmony ecosystem, and strive to make the impossible possible.”Who Are the Winners in Local Close-as-a-Whisker Political Races?
