These Ivy Leaguers did not waste any time this semester spreading the pro-life message on their campus! Choose Life at Yale (CLAY) is the pro-life student organization at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, and is Students for Life of America’s (SFLA) October 2024 Group of the Month. CLAY was founded in 2003 after the Yale administration held a vigil celebrating the 30th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, which allowed more than 60 million infant lives in the womb to be killed.

I’m writing on why I support Kristi Walston for the Westerly School Committee. The recent release of RICAS test scores was eye-opening. We can no longer blame the lockdowns and absenteeism but must re-evaluate our curriculum and work with our teachers and leaders to identify solutions to help put our kids on a path to success. Reading and writing are critical, and knowledge is power. Kristi took the time to sit down with me to discuss her goals as a School Committee member.

The RBA is expected to hold the cash rate again when it meets next week, but that doesn't mean you can't save on your home loan repayments. While rates remain on hold it is a great time to check in on your mortgage and take a holistic view of whether it suits your needs. Reviewing your loan terms and rates can save you money and help you plan for the future.

CrowdStrike would hardly have been a name familiar to most Australians last Friday morning, but by the end of the day the American cybersecurity firm was dominating headlines after a software update error wreaked havoc around the world. As millions of computers became victims of the so-called 'blue screen of death', individuals and companies across the country began to feel the impacts of the outage which touched everything from airlines and supermarkets to banks and media organisations.

With many Aussies planning to take advantage of warmer European weather in the middle of the year, strong exchange rates in Japan and the snow season in New Zealand, you should make sure your money is ready to travel too. Foreign exchange (FX) - or converting currencies - should be a top priority to organise ahead of your overseas trip to ensure you are making the most out of your hard earned money.

Like cassette tapes and glam metal, it's fair to say that the heyday of cheques in Australia is now long behind us. Back in 1980, cheques accounted for 85% all non-cash payments, according to the Reserve Bank. Even in the mid-1990s, Australians were still using around 50 cheques each year on average. That's all changed in the decades since.

Dear Paul,My husband and I are approaching 60. We have a property in Como, Western Australia, valued at $1.2 million, with a mortgage of $520,000. We do not have much super ($120,000 for me, $90,000 for my husband) as we started working in Australia in our mid-30s after migrating from Uganda. We both work full-time. I would like to invest in silver but am not sure if it is the right time.

Hit the streets and ask anyone to provide one reason why they're proud to be an Australian, and you're almost guaranteed to hear two words in response: 'fair go'. Those two words represent one of Australia's most recognisable values. We are a group of diverse people, with different backgrounds, experiences, and aspirations, and we are offered an equal opportunity to be our best. Everybody is meant to get a fair go. Which is why the wealth gap between men and women in Australia is so disappointing.

It seemed to be just a perfect day for a dive. Clear sight, stable weather, and an incredible, reclusive spot. Drew (Sophie Lowe) and May (Louisa Krause), two sisters who share a close and complex bond, are excited: both experienced, adventurous divers marvel at this underwater world. During their dive, May is abruptly hit by a rock, leaving her shaken but luckily with only a small scratch. But the sisters' relief is short-lived: the rock came from a landslide above water.
