Always sits up the back. Digs law, classical to metal, art, needle craft, the esoteric. Do most things for gingerbread.

You’ve smelled this your entire life and it was never the rain.

The smell of rain isn’t rain. It’s a molecule called geosmin, produced by soil bacteria. Humans can detect it at just 5 parts per trillion, thousands of times more sensitive than most smells.

When raindrops hit dry soil, they launch microscopic aerosols carrying geosmin into the air, like invisible champagne bubbles.

Scientists think this sensitivity helped early humans find water.

Even camels use it to navigate deserts from miles away.

That “earth after rain” smell is survival, written in chemistry.

This is why it's important to read the liquidity clauses on p 888 of whatever PDS it is #privatecredit https://t.co/pwmSp9gaIB by @kirby_journo

Scary and worrying. 7 in 10 people who switched #superannuation to platforms were likely driven by social media ads. Further, they don't have big accounts. So likely younger or poorer people who now risk getting even poorer. https://t.co/dqkwLKKhKY

'Police suspect that just one criminal network has defrauded all four of the country’s major banks by at least $300 million amid growing concerns that the washing of illicit funds through real estate is a systemic problem.'

'John Moss, the acting chief executive of financial crimes agency AUSTRAC, said the suspected fraud uncovered by the banks was consistent with its own assessment of the market..'

Don't forget to look up: a rare celestial spectacle is unfolding. Six planets are tracing a graceful arc across the evening sky.

Not a painting, but the view from beneath an ancient oak. Its branches rise above like a living cathedral, where light and life quietly meet.

A raft of reforms in the financial advice sector have been pushed aside while the government focuses on the CSLR and Division 296. https://t.co/nt4rM8VpvH

There's many people, primarily victims of financial misconduct, the CSLR isn't serving adequately.

[Financial Newswire @Fin_Newswire]

Multiple consultations are underway or promised around the CSLR, MISs and Shield and First Guardian with little sign of a result. https://t.co/V6qwdZugLD

[Eric Francisco @EricFrancisco24]

It’s laid off journalists getting replaced by influencers with pre-approved questions, journalists being forced to interview like influencers, and studio PR exerting inordinate control over even established outlets just to play ball.

And i had the very great honour of meeting Anna Louise Cole who is playing the principessa herself in the second half of the season. Don’t miss her!! She truly is a princess.

Some sound words on the long called for separation of financial products and advice by Mike Taylor. Will it take another five years ... with CSLR funders focused on levies https://t.co/9JHWI8potr

[Marianna Papadakis @catscram]

Restrictions on conflicts between trustees and investment managers is critical … but as Tony Boyd points out there’s many not in favour. Would requiring corporate trustees in MIS solve it … hmm.
