Today will mark yet another women’s backstroke thriller, as we take a look at Australia Kaylee McKeown Commonwealth Record holder, and Canada Kylie Masse compete in the women’s 50 jersey number. While that may not be the case this morning, the Commonwealth Games Record looks poised to go down in the event, as both McKeown and Masse are below 27.56 records. In this case, the Australian sprinter Mollie O’Callaghan has been under the record as well, coming in at 27.46, while Medi Harris of Wales tied the record with her leading time.

Earth has just recorded its shortest day - and the effects could be 'devastating'

Earth recorded its shortest day on record on June 29, completing one rotation in 1.59 milliseconds in under 24 hours. Scientists aren’t sure what caused the slightly faster rotation, but speculate it could be related to climate change, tides, or even the Earth’s layers. The irregular rotation created the need for something known as a leap second, a second added to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) which keeps our clocks as close to solar time – the movement of the sun – as possible. Watch the latest News on Channel 7 or stream for free on 7plus >> So far, Earth’s rotation has mostly slowed over time, so only positive leap seconds were added to the atomic clock to compensate, but it was only recently revealed that on June 29, Earth’s rotation was recorded to be spinning faster than usual. “If Earth’s fast rotation continues, it could lead to the introduction of the first negative leap second,” a story published on the timeanddate website warns. A negative leap second is a second t

'Bring your boots': Splendor in the Grass ticket holders told to 'really' show up for day two

Splendor in the Grass ticket holders are urged to attend today after the first day of the music festival was canceled due to wet and muddy conditions. Key points: First day of Splendor in the Grass canceled amid heavier-than-expected rain Many who have tickets to set up camp find themselves flooded or unable to enter at all Organizers urge everyone with tickets to come today, making sure they are safe Hundreds of people who arrived on the first day of the three-day event on Friday found themselves stuck in a queue of cars for up to eight hours to get in, only to be met by a flooded campground. Organizers made calls to cancel the main stage act in the afternoon, as heavy rain was expected. Held in North Byron Parklands in the New South Wales region of Northern Rivers, festival co-founder Jessica Ducrou said it was the “worst weather” the festival has experienced in its 21-year history. “We’ve had muddy events before, it’s nothing new to us but I think the amount of rain the North River

The Loop: ANZ takes over Suncorp, Rugby Australia issues a lifetime ban, and England braces for its hottest day yet

Image
Hi, over there. It’s Monday, July 18th and you’re reading The Loop, today’s news summary. Brisbane-based banking and insurance company Suncorp has accepted ANZ’s $4.9 billion offer to take over its banking operations — but the deal will take at least 12 months before the deal is finalized, and has several hurdles to work through in the meantime. ANZ is now tasked with raising an additional $3.5 billion in funds to pay for the deal, and will need approval from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers. Queensland State Financial Institutions and the Metway Incorporation laws also need to be amended for the takeover to proceed. Provided the deal gets the green light, it would make ANZ Australia’s third-largest bank for home loans, according to analysis from RateCity (using APRA data). The next step is for ANZ to submit a merger authorization application to the ACCC, which is expected to be received by the regulatory body next month. The

'Not a case of installing a tractor' to recover a passenger jet that crashed during the fifth day

A stalled QantasLink plane continues to cause headaches for crew at Rockhampton Airport five days after crashing during launch. Key points: The plane came to a standstill Monday night after passing through soft ground while gliding No one was injured and other airport services were not affected Qantas will bring special equipment to Rockhampton to pick up the plane A Qantas spokesman said flight QF1798, which was traveling to Rockhampton from Brisbane, landed normally on Monday evening. But while cruising at low speed into the parking lot, the pilot “accidentally steered the plane across soft ground and got stuck just before the terminal”, the spokesman said. Although the airline’s engineering team had made progress on what it described as a “smooth” operation, the plane remained stuck. The spokesman said the retrieval required special equipment that is not currently available at Rockhampton. “The wheels are on very soft ground and special equipment needs to be brought in from our larg

Eurobike 2022 technology gallery, day two: Magnets, motors and 3D printing galore - CyclingTips

The bicycle industry seems to be obsessed with 3D printing these days. It has long been a product development staple for rapid prototyping, but is quickly becoming the preferred production method for high-end consumer products as well. Selle Italia and Selle San Marco are jumping into the saddle pool with a new model slated for release later this year, Elastic Interface Technology has incorporated 3D printed pads into a new premium chamois concept, and German outdoor brand Jack Wolfskin is even using 3D printing for backpack pads. What’s next? Only time (and imagination) will tell. Fidlock — maker of all the fancy magnetic helmet buckles, like on Bell’s new Falcon XR — is also continuing to expand its range of magnet-based closures. There are plenty of accessories that use the same hook concept, but also things like a magnet-based hydration bladder reservoir. Perhaps most interesting, however, is the new magnetic ratcheting shoe closure concept called the Winch which is already use
