WITH the new year marking new opportunities, The Leader hit the streets to ask residents about their resolutions.
From teaching pets to urinate outside to finding love, Tamworth has plenty of new opportunities and challenges on the horizon.
And, it’s perfect timing, with big events coming up in 2019 across the globe.
Here’s a few interesting thing’s to do before they’re taken off the market, and some worldwide milestones to look out for next year:
- All works published in 1923, except for sound recordings, will enter the public domain in the United States – the first to do so since the 1998 Sonny Bono Copywright Term Extension Act passed.
- Nigerians will vote to choose their next president, so will Afghans.
- Emperor Akihito of Japan will abdicate his position, the first Japanese monarch to do so in two centuries.
- Eurovision 2019 will take place in Tel Aviv, Israel.
- The 2019 Cricket World Cup will be held in England and Wales.
- Climbing Uluru will be permanently banned.
- Transit of Mercury across the sun, visible as a small black dot moving across the sun takes place.
- A space telescope called CHEOPS will launch at the beginning of the year to study the formation of extra-solar planets.
