Four Points: Jackson's lack of action is no problem as Blue did with Silvagni

De Goey is invested in supporting his coach and quite a number of his team-mates, so he will give everything for them in what may be his final game in black and white regardless of whether he thinks the reaction to his trip to Bali was fair or not. . He did very well against Port Adelaide and, in many ways, the situation is much easier for everyone to deal with than facing Grundy who still has five years left on his contract but has to face the fact that people at his club are unsure whether to let him go at the end of the day. season will be a positive thing.

Credit: Getty Images Should De Goey do his best in the next two months then leave, opinion will be divided inside and outside the Magpies whether they should try harder to keep him, especially if Lion McStay’s form disappoints as he considers a move to Collingwood. McStay isn’t as important as the Lions’ luck as the others, but they prefer to keep him and certainly need him

Cosmic tango: this extremely strange planet's orbit points to a violent and chaotic past

If you close your eyes and imagine a planetary system orbiting a distant star, what do you see? For most people, such thinking gives rise to systems that mirror the Solar System: planets orbiting their parent stars in nearly circular orbits – rocky planets are closer together, and giants like Jupiter in the icy depths. However, the more we study the cosmos, the more we begin to realize that planetary systems like ours may be more the exception than the rule. Imagine a system with a single gas planet, slightly larger than Saturn, tracing the surface of its parent star in a very fast orbit. It is extremely hot and glows a dull red, baked in stellar radiation. Then imagine another, more distant giant planet, larger than Jupiter, moving on a distant and highly elongated orbit that makes it look more like a comet than a traditional planet. It doesn’t sound like home, does it? But that’s what we found. Introducing planetary system HD83443 The story of the HD83443 system begins in the late

If you close your eyes and imagine a planetary system orbiting a distant star, what do you see? For most people, such thinking gives rise to systems that mirror the Solar System: planets orbiting their host stars in nearly circular orbits – rocky planets are closer, and giants like Jupiter in the icy depths. However, the more we study the cosmos, the more we begin to realize that planetary systems like ours may be more the exception than the rule. Imagine a system with one gas planet, slightly larger than Saturn, tracing the surface of its parent star in a very fast orbit. It is extremely hot and glows a dull red, baked in stellar radiation. Then imagine another, more distant giant planet, larger than Jupiter, moving on a distant and highly elongated orbit that makes it look more like a comet than a traditional planet.

ANZ expects 50 basis points Reserve Bank rate hike in August, September, October, November

Banking giant ANZ now expects borrowers to tackle four 50 basis point rate hikes in November – with the country’s major banks expecting cash rates to settle in 2023 once inflation is under control. The Big Four on Tuesday forecast the Reserve Bank of Australia’s cash rate would more than double from an existing three-year high of 1.35 percent to a 10-year high of 3.35 percent on Melbourne Cup Day. ANZ chief economist David Plank expects the RBA to raise interest rates by 0.5 percentage points in a row in August, September, October and November – and keep rates at that level throughout 2023 and 2024. “We think the RBA will take its cash rate target to a tight setting above three percent by the end of 2022, more than 12 months earlier than our previous estimate,” he said. A two percentage point increase in mortgage rates in November would leave borrowers with an average $600,000 mortgage owed $708 more a month in payments as the RBA cash rate hit its highest level since October 2012. But

Four Points: Utility Blicavs, Blues hopes, against Tigers and fast growing Daicos

He is also the emblem of Geelong this year. While he has been a good performer for a long time, what he represents is how Geelong draws something from the cast in the role. Tom Atkins’ game last week was very good in possession. He had a run-with role with Sam Walsh on Saturday night and while Walsh is one of the Blues’ best players, Atkins’ pressure around the contest is still significant. Geelong has had an impact on this cast of Atkins, Brad Close, Max Holmes, Mark O’Connor and even Gryan Miers, all of whom have pace and are used to the high-pressure games Geelong plays. Geelong killed Carlton on turnover, which is an area that has improved dramatically in 2022, and it was pressure from the fast fringe type that was significant in that change. Jeremy Cameron benefits and helps make it happen. Football analysts will always look at these seemingly immeasurable elements of pressure in football and conclude that they are an essential ingredient in any major league. Geelong, now at

Dow rally more than 650 points on positive data, financials

Retail sales rose 1.0 percent last month, the Commerce Department said, exceeding a Reuters poll forecast of 0.8 percent. Data for May was revised up to show sales fell 0.1 percent instead of the previously reported 0.3 percent. Retail sales increased 8.4 percent on a year-on-year basis and 18 percent above their pre-pandemic trend. While the retail sales data was laudable, economists were cautious about pointing out that a big reason for the gains was from a spike in gasoline prices. “Yes, consumers spend more, but they don’t take home the same amount of goods,” First Trust said in a note. “Adjusted for the consumer price index (CPI), retail sales fell 0.3 percent in June.” Separately, consumers reduced their inflation expectations in July, a fourth report from the University of Michigan showed. The yield on the US 10-year note fell 4 basis points to 2.92 percent as of 4:59 p.m. in New York. Two years it was at 3.12 percent. Bill Adams, chief economist for Comerica Bank, said the o
