The huge Valles Marineris Valley has been revealed in stunning new images taken by the European Space Agency’s Mars Express. The Valley of the Red Planet is 2,485 miles long, over 124 miles wide and over 4 miles deep, making America look pretty dim by comparison. Vallis Marineris stretches from the northern tip of Norway to the southern tip of Sicily. The new image depicts two moats, or chasmas, that make up the western part of Valles Marineris. On the left is the lus Chasma which is 521 miles long and on the right is the Tithonium Chasma which is 500 miles long. The image uses data from the High-Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) aboard Mars Express and is a “true color” image, meaning it shows what the human eye would see if it looked at this region of Mars.

Australians are still spending big bucks, but surveys suggest that could change quickly as rising interest rates send consumer confidence to pandemic lows. Key points: Consumer confidence has fallen to the lows usually seen during a recession Soaring inflation and a sudden spike in interest rates to combat it weigh on households The slump in confidence has yet to feed through spending cuts, with various measures hitting record highs The latest consumer spending data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed household spending was 7.9 per cent higher in May than a year earlier. Much of the increase in spending is not because Australians have had to buy more, but reflects a spike in inflation, meaning people are paying more for most of the things they buy. Transportation spending rose nearly 15 percent, as people once again took to the skies, but also as fuel costs soared. Eating out and going out together has also seen a double-digit percentage increase in spending over the past y

There’s been a lot recently, hasn’t it? Another COVID-19 spike, a terrible flu season, floods in New South Wales, monkeypox, the ongoing war in Ukraine, the overthrow of Roe v Wade in the United States, soaring cost of living. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and closed off, you’re not alone. I’ve spent the last few weeks lying on the couch unconscious after work, wreaking havoc. I feel anxious, apathetic, lonely and sad. If you or anyone you know needs help: I had hoped it would be a good year with more certainty, but in the middle of the year I found myself in a space that was just as restless as the last two years, but with less expectations and more cognitive fatigue to boot. When things get so tough and we start to realize that maybe the world as we know it has shifted, we have to give ourselves time to adjust to the new realities and build the skills we need to adapt. Meanwhile, it’s very easy to forget the little things we need to do to be okay, or to remember why we do these thi

Financially, times have been tough — and don’t expect to get much better anytime soon. Reserve Bank Governor Philip Lowe said a recession would not happen in Australia. Others think there’s a chance we could hit a brief recession sometime next year. But one thing is certain now: millions of Australians are hurting because of the rising cost of living. So, how can we prepare for the financially difficult times ahead? We asked three experts. First of all, you should know that you are not alone Before we get into it, National Debt Helpline financial adviser Deb Shroot says no matter how bad financial circumstances are, there’s always a choice. Even when things seem really bad. “If you talk to a financial advisor, there’s always a choice,” he said. Fundamentally, financial counselors are professionals who help those experiencing financial difficulties and their services are non-judgmental, free, independent and confidential. “The options may not be all desirable, however, we can talk y

HEART FAILURE is one of the top conditions that result in the most visits to the emergency department, including at Ballarat Health Services. BHS cardiac nurse practitioner Linda Macaulay said it was a “huge burden” in more ways than one. “Besides the burden of disease and people’s lack of quality of life, heart failure is also a huge burden on our health system,” he said. Aiming to reduce the readmission rate of heart failure patients in hospital, with evidence-based care, personalized care, and targeted treatment, BHS has its own heart failure clinic. “Re-admission rates are enormous, and not only for patients who are re-admitted with heart failure, but with various co-morbidities that impair the heart, such as diabetes, cognitive impairment, or respiratory disease,” Macaulay said. “Our clinic is running to provide consistent care for every patient at all times, because our patients we see are our friends, family members, relatives, work and schoolmates. “We care for people in our co

6 July 2022 Reviewed by Alex Smith A new study of observed temperatures reveals that the Arctic appears to be warming four times faster than the rate of global warming. The trend has increased sharply twice in the last five decades. This is a finding that all but four of the 39 climate models missed.

On a smaller time scale and, contrary to previous investigations which found that the Arctic amplification index increased smoothly, we observed two distinct steps, one in 1986 and the second in 1999. .
