“Phil Ruthven has a big vision for the future of Australian business based on facts and research,” he said. “We will miss his advice and advice.” Ruthven was everywhere in the 1980s, when she was for a time Australia’s highest-paid professional speaker, partly because she used her understanding of statistics and macroeconomic trends to tailor every address. When Packer had $805 million to play with after selling his television interests to Alan Bond in 1987, it was Ruthven and IBISWorld that he turned to for advice. The fortune teller was instrumental in Packer’s decision to expand his pastoral holdings with an emphasis on cotton, cattle and wool, to the point that he became Australia’s second largest landowner. “Agriculture is going through an interesting watershed that will see the industry reborn,” said Ruthven Australian Financial Overview reporter Martin Peers at the time. “This is one of the most underrated industries in Australia.” The asset sale of Packer’s Consolidated Pasto

What was once a river of money has turned into a trickle as the Evergrande-triggered property crisis has spooked buyers, with a mortgage uprising – sparked in June by buyers of the unfinished Evergrande project – exacerbating already crushing pressure on developers. Mortgages refused to service bank loans they took to buy their apartments and the protest movement that began with the Evergrande development has now spread to about 320 projects across China and led to central authorities setting up $64 billion to help developers complete their unfinished projects. However, if Xi Jinping wants a smooth path to an unprecedented extension of the Communist Party’s leadership for a third term, Beijing may have to engage more directly and aggressively in the crisis. Credit: AP Worryingly for Chinese authorities and banks, unpaid suppliers for the Evergrande project are also starting their own payment strikes which, if they spread as lenders’ actions have spread, would amplify the financial and

Have you heard of the LU Camelopardalis, QZ Serpentis, V1007 Herculis, and BK Lyncis? No, they weren’t in the boy band in ancient Rome. They are Cataclysmic Variables, binary stars so close together that one star takes matter from its sibling. This causes the pairs to vary greatly in brightness. Could a planet exist in this chaotic environment? Can we see them? A new study says yes to both. Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) experienced a large increase in brightness. All stars vary in brightness to some degree, even our own sun. But the CV increase in brightness is much more pronounced than in stars like our Sun, and it happens on an irregular basis There are different types of catastrophic variables: classic nova, dwarf nova, multiple supernova, and others. All types share the same basic mechanics. A pair of stars orbit each other closely, and one star is larger than the other. The more massive ones are called primary stars, and draw gas from lower-mass stars, which astronomers ca

Neutron star collisions are an opportunity to see what’s inside these incredible objects Astronomers have for the first time been able to detect collisions with dead suns known as neutron stars, thanks to a powerful new telescope. Neutron star collisions are key to our understanding of the Universe. They are thought to have created the heavy metals that formed the stars and planets like us billions of years ago. The light from the collision was only visible for a few nights so telescopes had to race to find it. Astronomers observed one of these collisions in 2017, but most found it by luck. The British Gravity Wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO), located above the clouds on the Spanish volcanic island of La Palma will now systematically hunt them down. “When the really good detection comes along, everything has to be done to the max,” Prof Danny Steeghs, from the University of Warwick, told me in La Palma. “Speed ​​is of the essence. We are looking for something short-lived – not mu

In the winter my father died of cancer, focusing on work became very difficult. In the normal world of work, people are given mourning leave: a sign of two days to grieve and attend funerals. I need more than this to reflect and reassemble myself. I took a few weeks to slow down, think, and follow the urge to get back to basics. I spring clean my house, go for bush walks, do my own health check, and take over the dining table with a thousand-piece puzzle. After school hours, I read stories with my kids — huddle together and immerse myself in a fantasy world full of magic and solvable problems — and take them out for chai lattés. (Kids of today.) That time made me reflect a lot on my purpose, and how to spend the next part of my time on earth.
