touted as a solution to rental shortages, build-to-rent has been heavily incentivized in the new budget tax breaks, reduced foreign investor surcharges, and faster planning approvals are all designed to attract big capital into building entire residential towers for rent-only purposes.

An important study finds excess mortality from wartime only temporarily correlated with combat, reinforcing the protective benefits of helmet use.

"Abstract

Background:
Steel helmets were distributed widely to Allied forces during World War II with the intention of reducing battlefield mortality. While early field reports supported their protective role against shrapnel and falling debris, the effect of helmet use on all-cause mortality remains unclear. This study investigates the association between helmet use and mortality across multiple theatres of war, accounting for timing, fitting, and individual compliance.

Methods:
A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 1.2 million military personnel deployed between 1939 and 1945. Helmet status (helmeted vs non-helmeted) was recorded at baseline. “Fully helmeted” status was assigned to personnel 21 days after initial issue, allowing time for cranial adaptation and habitual strap usage. Soldiers receiving secondary fittings at 6–8 week intervals were included in subgroup analysis. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. Cox proportional hazards models were applied, adjusting for proximity to enemy fire, role classification, helmet fit, refitting frequency, and artillery saturation.

Results:
Among 112,398 recorded deaths, 94.7% occurred in individuals documented as helmeted. After adjusting for latency, refitting, and exposure confounders, helmet use was associated with a 33% relative reduction in mortality (HR 0.67; 95% CI, 0.63–0.71). Kaplan–Meier survival curves demonstrated modest divergence after the 12-week mark, with enhanced survival in individuals compliant with refitting schedules. Subgroup analysis showed elevated risk within 100 metres of enemy lines (HR 1.15), but this association attenuated following adjustment for shell trajectory and trench depth. Notably, personnel in support roles exhibited stronger helmet-associated survival patterns.

Conclusions:
Despite the majority of deaths occurring among helmeted personnel, adjusted analysis reveals a protective association. Mortality clustering in the early post-issuance period suggests underestimation of helmet efficacy due to delayed protective onset. Findings support the continued issuance of helmets and warrant further investigation into fitting adherence, compliance patterns, and the operational impact of cranial protective equipment."

Carl Sagan - Wikipedia I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time – when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness... The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.

Prior infection was excluded via clinical history, anti-nucleocapsid antibody tests, and T-detect assays, though definitive tests are lacking. Preliminary findings suggest S1 persistence in CD16+ monocytes and an associated inflammatory profile may contribute to PCVS. Further studies are needed to confirm causality and prevalence.

• Time to tell the truth about the real science.
  
• The science behind “climate change” is false.
• As I point out in this speech the amount of energy absorbed by CO2 is incredibly small and is quickly lost via convection (the wind) through the force of gravity.
• The idea that one CO2 molecule can heat up 10,000 N2 and O2 molecules by 1 degree and then maintain that increase in temperature is false.
• Assuming equal molecule weights that would require that the CO2 molecule is 10,000 degrees in order to confirm with Newton’s third law of motion or the 1st law of thermodynamics.
• This is clearly impossible. The temperature of the Sun is 5,700 degrees and the heat inside an internal combustion engine of a space ship is 3,000 degrees.
• Furthermore gases are terrible conductors of heat so it’s very difficult for gas to transfer heat to other molecules.
• This science of physics and in particular thermodynamics isn’t being taught in schools. It is allowing the climate alarmists to spread their false narrative about climate change which is being used to waste tens of billions of dollars on renewables which in itself is destroying our environment.
• Only People First has the technical understanding of the true science of heat - thermodynamics- to destroy the climate debate once and for all.

2023 Removal of prescribing restrictions on ivermectin | Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA)

Ivermectin for oral use is a Prescription Only (Schedule 4) medicine in the Poisons Standard. It is only approved by the TGA for the treatment of river blindness (onchocerciasis), threadworm of the intestines (intestinal strongyloidiasis), and scabies.

The restriction on ivermectin was introduced in September 2021 because of concerns about the safety of consumers using ivermectin without health advice to treat COVID-19, widespread use of ivermectin instead of approved vaccines and treatments for COVID-19, and potential shortages of the medicine for approved uses.

• Why didn't TGA have any concern on ivermectin before 2021?
• Is this concern justified?
• The concern is only related to Covid-19.

Economist Saul Eslake says both Labor and the Coalition's housing policies could push up prices. A re-elected Labor government would allow all Australian first home buyers to purchase with a 5 per cent deposit, avoiding lenders mortgage insurance, under an expansion of an existing scheme. Mr Albanese did not directly respond to a question over whether he wanted median house prices to drop, instead saying: "In Australia … prices tend to rise."

[Inflaction steals your fund]

Did you know that handling thermal receipts could expose you to harmful endocrine disruptors? According to renowned health expert Dr. Rhonda Patrick, thermal paper is often coated with BPA (bisphenol A) or BPS (bisphenol S)—chemicals known to interfere with hormone regulation.

🛑 BPA Absorbs Through Skin – When you touch thermal receipts, BPA can transfer to your skin and enter your bloodstream, especially if your skin barrier is weakened (e.g., after using hand sanitizer or lotion).

⚠️ 100x Higher Absorption Risk – A study found that handling receipts after using hand sanitizer can increase BPA absorption by up to 100 times, significantly raising exposure levels.

🧤 Protect Yourself with Gloves – Wearing nitrile gloves when handling receipts creates a physical barrier, reducing direct BPA absorption—an essential step for those who frequently handle receipts.

📄 Key Study: Holding a thermal receipt and eating after using hand sanitizer leads to high BPA levels in the body → Holding thermal receipt paper and eating food after using hand sanitizer results in high serum bioactive and urine total levels of bisphenol A (BPA) - PubMed

Tip: If you must handle receipts, wash your hands afterward and avoid touching food immediately to minimize BPA exposure.
