Warning US cuts to science could put Australian research, lives at risk

Cuts to science agencies in the United States are causing "turmoil" in regional research projects run by universities across Australia. Under US President Donald Trump, the US-based National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) had its budget slashed and thousands of jobs cut. The NOAA collects real-time data from satellites, aeroplanes, weather balloons, radar and maritime buoys, which is used by forecasters to help project seasonal conditions ahead of time. The impact of the cuts to NOAA is being felt far beyond the US. Australia's Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) often relies on US data for its ACCESS model, which produces daily weather forecasts. Andrew Watkins is a research associate at Melbourne's Monash University and the former head of long-range forecasts at the Bureau of Meteorology. He said the cuts would reduce access to crucial datasets, vital for Australia's ability to monitor and...

We toured a freehold landed estate in Singapore with vintage properties and top Thai restaurants, Lifestyle News

Lifestyle After several weeks of focusing on landed estates in the east, we're continuing this landed estate walkabout series in other parts of Singapore: namely, Pasir Panjang. Pasir Panjang is not a new area to us: we've previously visited Jalan Mat Jambol, Pasir Panjang Hill (great views) etc. However, it's been at least a year since we did a Pasir Panjang tour, so off we go today to see if anything has changed!

Rasmus Hojlund would suit Newcastle United

With the latest breaking news on Tyneside that Brentford have rejected a 40 million bid from Newcastle for Yoane Wissa, the club are still looking to secure the services of two centre-forwards. Having lost out on Liam Delap, Joao Pedro and Benjamin Sesko, negotiations with strikers has been a hurdle for Eddie Howe and the board. Both Delap and Pedro opting for Chelsea was disappointing but a decision one could understand, the Sesko deal on the other hand was the sore one, which could have solved the current Alexander Isak issue. With the Swede claiming that hell never play for the club again and Callum Wilson now at West Ham, its a must that Newcastle bring in at least one number nine to lead the line. The biggest issue at this time is who the club should make their...
