Sixteenth century prophet, Nostradamus predictions for 2024 are quite numerous and as interpreted by some are promising to come to fruition already.

Ailing Pope Francis will die or retire and be replaced as pope by an African cardinal or bishop.

Donald Trump will be elected President of USA and consequently turmoil will resume in the USA and the world.

Terrible weather and other disasters of nature will occur that will affect the world.

Conflict between nations will intensify and spill over.

King Charles will die or abdicate, Prince William will reject taking the mantle and it will be left to Prince Harry to be installed as King.

The Hurricanes will win the Super Rugby Pacifica championship and the All Blacks will have an unbeaten year under the coaching of Scot Robertson.

If you are embarking on a new chapter of life, the thought of shedding familiar possessions can feel even more stressful. This can be true even if the life changes are a good thing, such as a move to somewhere you will love to live.

Once you understand why you have this feeling, you can reframe it as creating a new environment that will support your present life while reminding you of your best experiences.

At long last the Hurricanes are getting newspaper space inside the period of the current Pacific competition in which they are the unbeaten leader after 7 rounds and playing with vigour and guile.

Not only that but .catching in up with this writer, a host of Hurricane players are mentioned as potential ABs for later this year.

And then we have the Hurricanes co-training team, the Phoenix (men) at the top of the Australian football league and assured of a home finals series match in a few weeks already still with 2 round robin matches to play.

That the Hurricanes and Phoenix have their training facilities at the world class Sports Institute in Heretaunga is a major reason why they are performing so well.

But it does not stop there. It is quite feasible that the Pulse netball team will win the national title this year as also goes for the Saints basketball team in the NBL.

And the Wellington provincial men's rugby team which narrowly lost the Ranfurly Shield and NPC title last year, will be favourites to recapture their ultimate winning form.
