Walyalup (Fremantle) Dockers ruckman Luke Jackson’s form is forcing a switch of roles when Sean Darcy is fit Walyalup (Fremantle) Dockers ruckman Luke Jackson’s form is forcing a switch of roles when Sean Darcy is fit Walyalup (Fremantle) coach Justin Longmuir admits in-demand star Luke Jackson’s brilliant performances this season are commanding more time as the main ruckman after he helped the Dockers to a 34-point win over Greater Western Sydney on Saturday. Jackson starred with 21 disposals, seven clearances and 32 hit outs to lead Walyalup to a 13.17 (95) to 8.13 (61) victory at ENGIE Stadium. The athletic big man has been in the headlines all week amid speculation that he could return to Melbourne at the end of the season. Jackson has played most of his football as a forward/ruck with the Dockers while sharing the position with Sean Darcy. But Darcy’s injuries and Jackson’s form are set to see him elevated in the ruck pecking order. “You saw last week that we started him in the ruck when he and Sean were in the team. We’ve edged that way anyway. There’s other ways we can get Luke around the ball without playing in the ruck as well. We’ll look to evolve that,” Longmuir said. “I thought Luke used his athleticism in the ruck contest. What he does around the ground once the ball hits the deck, not many rucks in the comp bring that. He’s a real weapon for us clearly.” Longmuir heaped praise on Jackson’s ability to ignore the attention that has followed him all year and play well despite being at the centre of trade speculation. Camera IconLuke Jackson is in great form. Credit: Cameron Spencer/AFL Photos/Getty Images The Dockers coach expressed frustration that other clubs are constantly talking about his player behind the scenes and adding fuel to the story. That comes after The West Australia’s exclusive report Jackson is expected to request a trade back to Melbourne. “I can only imagine how many phone calls and how many people want to talk to him about what’s going on,” Longmuir said. “Like I said to the players at the end of the game, you wouldn’t know it with Luke. He’s able to push those distractions aside, come to the club, get to the work, be a great teammate, work on his game and you saw that ability tonight. He had a great week of preparation. “From my discussions with him, he’s a bit confused about where it all comes from. Headlines keep popping up and people from other clubs keep fuelling them. Until he comes to me asking for a trade, I won’t be concerned.” The Dockers dominated the midfield, winning the centre clearances 15-8 and controlling the game through contested possessions. Caleb serong, Andrew Brayshaw and Shai Bolton led the way in the centre of the ground. Longmuir said it was the Dockers’ most complete performance of the season. “i think so,” he said. “Probably in the last 10 minutes we got a bit sloppy. I thought we jumped into the game reasonably well and built from that start. Even at the start of the last quarter, we were up for the contest and playing the way we want to play. “We’ve played some really good footy this year so it’s hard to measure it against the Adelaide game and a few of the other performances. our form against sides above has been pretty solid. It was a really strong performance.” Source link #Walyalup #Fremantle #Dockers #ruckman #Luke #Jacksons #form #forcing #switch #roles #Sean #Darcy #fit Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

Why Friday’s options expiration could send this historic stock-market rally skidding to a halt Why Friday’s options expiration could send this historic stock-market rally skidding to a halt Friday’s options expiration is one of the most heavily tilted toward calls that SpotGamma’s Brent Kochuba has ever seen. – MarketWatch photo illustration/iStockphoto After a wild month for the market, investors are sitting on a heap of bullish call options that will expire on Friday as monthly contracts for May come due. Options dealers’ hedging of these long positions has helped push stocks higher over the past couple of weeks, according to Brent Kochuba, founder of SpotGamma, an options data and analytics company. But once they are no longer active, the market’s torrid rebound could stall out. “I argue that the unwinding of the call values both lead to bearish hedging flows, but also a stalling in momentum. This is more skewed towards calls than I’ve ever seen it,” Kochuba said in response to questions from MarketWatch via email. Just how skewed toward calls can be seen in the table below, courtesy of SpotGamma. SpotGamma’s calculations adjust each contract for how close it is to being profitable at expiration, based on current market prices. Another popular methodology used by investment banks like Goldman Sachs puts the total value of contracts expiring on Friday at $3.4 trillion, a fairly average amount for a monthly expiration, Kochuba said. – SPOTGAMMA Investors’ shift toward call buying has become more pronounced over the past couple of weeks as stocks continued to climb. As of Wednesday’s close, the Cboe total put-call ratio has fallen back to 0.7, its lowest level since Feb. 14, according to Dow Jones Market Data. Back then, stocks were trading just shy of record highs. When investors’ buying is more heavily slanted toward calls, options market makers typically need to hedge their exposure by buying more stocks or stock futures. – DOW JONES MARKET DATA Following a burst of volatility in April provoked by President Trump’s aggressive tariff agenda, the Cboe Volatility Index VIX has retreated at the fastest pace on record. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 SPX has risen by more than 18% since its April 8 closing low, FactSet data showed. See: Wall Street’s fear gauge just dropped with striking speed. What historically comes next for stocks? Danny Kirsch, head of options at Piper Sandler, offered up a similar interpretation to Kochuba. Kirsch said he expected to see more volatility seep back into stocks starting next week once options dealers no longer needed to hedge so much long exposure. Story Continues “Next week should open back up,” he told MarketWatch via email. After seeing modest weakness earlier in the session, U.S. stocks had bounced back in afternoon trading Thursday. The S&P 500 was up by 21 points, or 0.4%, at 5,914, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA was up by 166 points, or 0.4%, at 42,218. The Nasdaq Composite COMP was up by 20 points, or 0.1%, at 19,167. Call options give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy an underlying asset at an agreed-upon price, known as the strike price, before an agreed-upon time, known as the expiration date. Similarly, a bearish put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset at an agreed-upon strike price before a given date.

Why long-term care costs can be a ‘huge problem’ Why long-term care costs can be a ‘huge problem’ Kate_sept2004 | E+ | Getty Images Long-term care can be costly, extending well beyond $100,000. Yet, financial advisors say many households aren’t prepared to manage the expense. “People don’t plan for it in advance,” said Carolyn McClanahan, a physician and certified financial planner based in Jacksonville, Florida. “It’s a huge problem.” Over half, 57%, of Americans who turn 65 today will develop a disability serious enough to require long-term care, according to a 2022 report published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Urban Institute. Such disabilities might include cognitive or nervous system disorders like dementia, Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease, or complications from a stroke, for example. The average future cost of long-term care for someone turning 65 today is about $122,400, the HHS-Urban report said. But some people need care for many years, pushing lifetime costs well into the hundreds of thousands of dollars — a sum “out of reach for many Americans,” report authors Richard Johnson and Judith Dey wrote. The number of people who need care is expected to swell as the U.S. population ages amid increasing longevity. “It’s pretty clear [workers] don’t have that amount of savings in retirement, that amount of savings in their checking or savings accounts, and the majority don’t have long-term care insurance,” said Bridget Bearden, a research and development strategist at the Employee Benefit Research Institute. “So where is the money going to come from?” she added. Long-term care costs can exceed $100,000 While most people who need long-term care “spend relatively little,” 15% will spend at least $100,000 out of pocket for future care, according to the HHS-Urban report. Expense can differ greatly from state to state, and depending on the type of service. Nationally, it costs about $6,300 a month for a home health aide and $9,700 for a private room in a nursing home for the typical person, according to 2023 data from Genworth, an insurer. More from FA Playbook: Here’s a look at other stories impacting the financial advisor business. It seems many households are unaware of the potential costs, either for themselves or their loved ones. For example, 73% of workers say there’s at least one adult for whom they may need to provide long-term care in the future, according to a new poll by the Employee Benefit Research Institute. However, just 29% of these future caregivers — who may wind up footing at least part of the future bill —had estimated the future cost of care, EBRI found. Of those who did, 37% thought the price tag would fall below $25,000 a year, the group said. The EBRI survey polled 2,445 employees from ages 20 to 74 years old in late 2024. Many types of insurance often don’t cover costs Maskot | Maskot | Getty Images There’s a good chance much of the funding for long-term care will come out-of-pocket, experts said. Health insurance generally doesn’t cover long-term care services, and Medicare doesn’t cover most expenses, experts said. For example, Medicare may partially cover “skilled” care for the first 100 days, said McClanahan, the founder of Life Planning Partners and a member of CNBC’s Financial Advisor Council. This may be when a patient requires a nurse to help with rehab or administer medicine, for example, she said. Where is the money going to come from? Bridget Bearden research and development strategist at the Employee Benefit Research Institute But Medicare doesn’t cover “custodial” care, when someone needs help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, using the bathroom and eating, McClanahan said. These basic everyday tasks constitute the majority of long-term care needs, according to the HHS-Urban report. Medicaid is the largest payer of long-term care costs today, Bearden said. Not everyone qualifies, though: Many people who get Medicaid benefits are from lower-income households, EBRI’s Bearden said. To receive benefits for long-term care, households may first have to exhaust a big chunk of their financial assets. “You basically have to be destitute,” McClanahan said. Republicans in Washington are weighing cuts to Medicaid as part of a large tax-cut package. If successful, it’d likely be harder for Americans to get Medicaid benefits for long-term care, experts said. Long-term care insurance considerations The Good Brigade | Digitalvision | Getty Images Few households have insurance policies that specifically hedge against long-term care risk: About 7.5 million Americans had some form of long-term care insurance coverage in 2020, according to the Congressional Research Service. By comparison, more than 4 million baby boomers are expected to retire per year from 2024 to 2027. Washington state has a public long-term care insurance program for residents, and other states like California, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York and Pennsylvania are exploring their own. Long-term care insurance policies make most sense for people who have a high risk of needing care for a lengthy duration, McClanahan said. That may include those who have a high risk of dementia or have longevity in their family history, she said. McClanahan recommends opting for a hybrid insurance policy that combines life insurance and a long-term care benefit; traditional stand-alone policies only meant for long-term care are generally expensive, she said. Be wary of how the policy pays benefits, too, she said. For example, “reimbursement” policies require the insured to choose from a list of preferred providers and submit receipts for reimbursement, McClanahan said. For some, especially seniors, that may be difficult without assistance, she said. With “indemnity” policies, which McClanahan recommends, insurers generally write benefit checks as soon as the insured qualifies for assistance, and they can spend the money how they see fit. However, the benefit amount is often lower than reimbursement policies, she said. How to be proactive about long-term care planning “The challenge with long-term care costs is they’re unpredictable,” McClanahan said. “You don’t always know when you’ll get sick and need care.” The biggest mistake McClanahan sees people make relative to long-term care: They don’t think about long-term care needs and logistics, or discuss them with family members, long before needing care. For example, that may entail considering the following questions, McClanahan said: Do I have family members that will help provide care? Would they offer financial assistance? Do I want to self-insure?What are the financial logistics? For example, who will help pay your bills and make insurance claims?Do I have good advance healthcare directives in place? For example, as I get sicker will I let family continue to keep me alive (which adds to long-term care expenses), or will I move to comfort care and hospice?Do I want to age in place? (This is often a cheaper option if you don’t need 24-hour care, McClanahan said.)If I want to age in place, is my home set up for that? (For example, are there many stairs? Is there a tiny bathroom in which it’s tough to maneuver a walker?) Can I make my home aging-friendly, if it’s not already? Would I be willing to move to a new home or perhaps another state with a lower cost of long-term care?Do I live in a rural area where it may be harder to access long-term care? Being proactive can help families save money in the long term, since reactive decisions are often “way more expensive,” McClanahan said. “When you think through it in advance it keeps the decisions way more level-headed,” she said.

Astronomers Discover Teleios, A Supernova Remnant with Perfect Symmetry Astronomers Discover Teleios, A Supernova Remnant with Perfect Symmetry A Supernova remnant (SNR) with exceptional circular symmetry has been spotted by an international team of researchers. Supernova remnants (SNRs) are the remains of a supernova explosion, seen as diffuse,expanding structures. Observations show that SNRs harbor ejected material expanding from the supernova explosion. They also contain other interstellar material that has been swept up by the passage of the shockwave from the exploded star. This rather unusual SNR is named “Teleios”, the Greek term of perfect. The newfound SNR, officially designated as G305.4–2.2 was identified in the radio-continuum images of the *********** Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) Evolutionary Map of the Universe (EMU). Unusual structure and properties According to the research paper describing the “Teleios”, it stands out for its unusual symmetrical structure. SNRs generally are unsymmetrical due to uneven distribution of the interstellar medium (ISM) they expand into. A few remnants like lSNR J0624–6948, SN1987A, or MC SNR J0509–6731 exhibit similar morphology According to the paper, G305.4–2.2 or “Teleios” is located at a distance of 7,170 or 25,100 light years away, corresponding to a diameter of 45.6 or 156.5 light years, respectively. The study found some extended radio emission inside the southeastern edge of Teleios’s shell. This suggests that at least some parts of this region might be affected by the interaction of Teleios with local interstellar medium (ISM) structures. A steep spectral index of -0.6 suggests the remnant is either relatively young or very old and exhibits low surface brightness. These features make Teleios a compelling target for deeper investigation. Possible Origins and Future Research The study’s authors propose that Teleios likely originated from a Type Ia supernova, possibly formed below the Milky Way’s galactic plane. However, no direct evidence currently confirms this hypothesis. To uncover more about Teleios’s origin and evolution, the researchers recommend future high-resolution, multi-frequency observations. These could reveal its expansion velocity and provide a clearer picture of its age and composition. Such efforts would not only enhance understanding of this unique remnant but also offer broader insights into the diversity and behaviour of supernova explosions in our galaxy.

West Coast Eagle Adam Selwood was a week away from charity run to raise money for mental health West Coast Eagle Adam Selwood was a week away from charity run to raise money for mental health Adam Selwood’s campaign to raise money for mental health received a groundswell of donations on the day of his death, just a week before he was supposed to complete a charity fun run. Selwood died on Saturday just months after the death of his twin brother — former Brisbane footballer Troy. As part of a tribute to his brother, Selwood was set to take part in the HBF Run for a Reason next Sunday, raising money for charity zero2hero which “provide programs that educate, engage and empower young people to support and maintain their own mental health and prevent suicide in the community”. Selwood’s goal was to raise $10,000 and after news of his passing broke, fans and football supporters began to pour in as part of a tribute to the 2006 premiership player. The Eagles premiership player had already raised more than $21,000, but that number climbed towards $22,000 late on Saturday. Many of those donations were worth more than $100. “Following the heartbreaking loss of my twin brother to suicide, I have made the decision to take on the HBF Run for a Reason Half Marathon,” Selwood wrote on the donation page. “My goal is to raise $10,000 in support of Zero2Hero — an incredible charity committed to educating, engaging, and empowering young people to become mental health leaders and help prevent youth suicide here in Western Australia. “This cause is deeply personal to me, and this run marks an important step in my own healing journey, as well as an ongoing commitment to raising awareness about mental health and suicide prevention across the country. “Your support would mean the world to me. Every donation, no matter the amount, makes a real and lasting difference in the lives of young Western Australians and is deeply appreciated by myself, my family, and the Zero2Hero community. “Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your love, generosity, and support in recent times. I will be sharing my training journey in the lead-up to the run on Sunday, 25 May, and I am incredibly grateful to those who have already helped me get the runners back on and start moving again.” Camera IconAdam Selwood delivers his eulogy as Scott and Joel Selwood look on during Troy Selwood’s ******** Service. Credit: Michael Willson/AFL Photos Only a month ago, Selwood again posted thanking people for their donations and raising the goal to $18,000. “It is truly amazing, and I know Troy would be proud of the impact we are making together,” he wrote. “Thank you also to the friends who have been joining me on training runs. My fitness is strong, my weight is back to playing days, and I clocked just under 15kms this morning. “I feel so fortunate to be surrounded by such wonderful people as I prepare for the event in late May.” LIFELINE: 13 11 14 or lifeline.org.au Source link #West #Coast #Eagle #Adam #Selwood #week #charity #run #raise #money #mental #health Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

The sun is mostly blocked out by the instrument’s occulter, which creates a dark, circular shadow over the sun. . | Credit: Southwest Research Institute The moon hovers over a shadowy void wreathed in sunlight in a stunning new photo taken by NASA’s Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) mission on April 27. PUNCH is a collection of four small satellites orbiting Earth with their instruments aimed at the sun. Launched on March 11, its goal is to study the solar wind — the stream of charged particles emanating from the sun and the cause of space weather. It will do so by taking pictures of the sun and the space between it and Earth. To prepare for its science operations phase, PUNCH must go through commissioning — a phase of instrument testing and alignment. The image above was taken as part of the commissioning process. The dark, circular shadow is from the “occulter.” The occulter is needed to prevent the sun’s light from overwhelming the images, just like the moon blocks out the sun during a solar eclipse, revealing the delicate streamers and filaments that stretch from the sun’s surface into the corona, the sun’s outermost atmosphere. The golden glow surrounding the sun is light reflecting off the occulter, and the dark areas at the top of the image are outside the instrument’s field of view. The moon is illuminated by light reflected off Earth. Images collected during the mission’s science operations will undergo more processing to remove the stray light and some small distortions left by contamination to reveal detailed images of the sun’s corona. Related: The sun just spat out the strongest solar flares of 2025 — and more could be headed toward Earth Photos of the sun’s corona can help scientists study the solar wind — the more than 300,000 tons (272,000 metric tons) of material the sun blasts into space every second at a million mph (1.6 million km/h), bathing the entire solar system in a feisty stew of charged particles. The solar wind is responsible for geomagnetic storms that, on Earth, can cause power grid failures and radio blackouts, and disrupt or damage satellites. Understanding the solar wind helps us prepare for geomagnetic storms so life on Earth can continue without disruption.

Solar prominences, sometimes called filaments, are massive loops of hot plasma that follow tangles in the sun’s magnetic field. | Credit: NASA/SDO The photos PUNCH will take won’t directly show the sun’s volatile magnetic field. Instead, they’ll show massive, glowing plasma loops and outbursts that are shaped by it. Patterns in the streamers and filaments emanating from the sun help researchers map out regions that are connected to the extreme space weather that causes geomagnetic storms on Earth. When combined with data collected within the sun’s corona by the Parker Solar Probe (PSP), PUNCH’s science will enable a much deeper understanding of the processes that drive the solar wind. This knowledge, in turn, can help protect the planet from geomagnetic storms.

PUNCH is extending the techniques of solar physics (scientific imaging) outward to measure how the solar corona touches us. The two missions complement each other beautifully.” PUNCH is scheduled to complete its commissioning phase June 9 and will start collecting new images of the sun and the area around it continuously.

Cameron, Smith star as Cats down Port amid injury chaos Cameron, Smith star as Cats down Port amid injury chaos Jeremy Cameron has booted seven goals as Geelong blitzed Port Adelaide by 70 points despite Brownlow medallist Patrick Dangerfield being among five players suffering serious injuries. Dangerfield, teammate Jack Bowes and Port pair Jason Horne-Francis and Lachie Jones all limped off with hamstring ailments in the Cats’ 17.13 (115) to 5.9 (39) triumph. Power halfback Josh Sinn was also substituted due to a left hip injury in a Saturday afternoon of mayhem at Adelaide Oval. All five players hurt were ruled out before halftime in a game broken by Geelong ace Cameron’s seven-goal haul. Cameron dominated as the Cats booted 11 goals to one in a scoring spree stretching from late in the second term to late in the last. The Cats improved their win-loss record to six-four while leaving the Power at a wobbly four-six. Cameron’s scoring was complemented by two goals from Ollie Dempsey (24 disposals) and trump recruit Bailey Smith’s impact continued with 30 possessions. Gryan Miers (27 touches), Mark O’Connor (28) and Max Holmes (22) were also instrumental in Geelong’s fifth-straight win at Adelaide Oval. Port captain Connor Rozee was busy at halfback with a game-high 32 possessions and ex-skipper Ollie Wines (28 disposals) and Ryan Burton (26) battled against the tide. But with tall forwards Mitch Georgiades (one goal) and Ollie Lord (none) held, only effervescent Sam Powell-Pepper (two goals, 23 disposals) provided an attacking spark. Neither club scored for the initial dozen minutes of a first quarter marred by the spate of injuries. Port’s Sinn was helped off after being crunched by a Mark O’Connor knee in a second-minute marking contest. His teammate Horne-Francis limped off 18 minutes later with a right hamstring injury and the Cats substituted Jack Bowes, also due to a right hamstring complaint, around the half-hour mark. Geelong led by three points at quarter-time but Dangerfield was added to the carnage when removed with a right hamstring injury early in the second quarter. And 23 minutes into the term, Port backman Jones became the fourth hamstring victim when hurt in a chase. Jones had been manning Cameron and his absence coincided with two match-turning goals from the key Cat. Cameron’s second strike – a stunning long-range set shot from a boundary line – gave Geelong a nine-point buffer at halftime, 5.3 to 3.6 – the lowest scoring returns in a first half this season for both clubs. The Cats then made a match-winning move with a superb third quarter, booting five goals to one for a 36-point break at three-quarter time. Cameron stamped his authority with three consecutive goals in an eight-minute burst to open the last quarter as Port folded – the Power’s match total of 39 points is their lowest score this year.

Living Near a Golf Course Could Lead to a Terrible Chronic Illness Living Near a Golf Course Could Lead to a Terrible Chronic Illness A controversial new study has found that those who live within just two miles of a golf course may face up to three times the odds of developing Parkinson’s disease, the progressive neurological disorder that causes tremors and difficulty with balance. According to the population-based case-control study published in the journal JAMA Network Open, environmental risks (including pesticide exposure and groundwater contamination) could be contributing to the risk of developing Parkinson’s near a golf course. And in the United States, golf courses are treated with extremely high levels of pesticides, which could in fact be varying degrees of hazardous to human health. The team examined medical records of over 5,000 people in southern Minnesota and western Wisconsin from 1991 to 2015, as well as groundwater vulnerability data. The team found that people living between one and two miles from a golf course weren’t just more likely, but were 198 percent more likely to develop Parkinson’s compared to a control group. “The odds of *** were relatively constant within close proximity to a golf course and decreased linearly as distance increased; individuals living farther from a golf course had reduced odds of ***, decreasing relative to the distance from the nearest golf course,” the researchers wrote in the paper. But not everybody agrees with that assessment. Experts have called the conclusion “reductive,” arguing that the evidence is simply not strong enough to draw a definitive line between the prevalence of Parkinson’s and the pesticides used at golf courses in the US. “This study suggests an association between pesticides and Parkinson’s, however there are some important limitations in the methodology to be aware of,” said Parkinson’s *** director of research David Dexter in a statement. “Firstly, Parkinson’s starts in the brain ten-15 years before diagnosis and the study didn’t only use subjects who permanently lived in the area. This would not only affect participants’ exposure, but also suggests their Parkinson’s could have started before they moved around a golf course.” “The population was also not matched for location with 80 percent of the Parkinson’s subjects living in urban areas, compared to only 30 percent of controls, hence other factors like air pollution from motor vehicles etc. could also account for some of the increases in Parkinson’s incidence,” he added. “Many studies have investigated whether pesticides increase the risk of developing Parkinson’s in different populations around the world,” Parkinson’s *** research lead Katherine Fletcher added. “The results have been varied, but overall suggest that exposure to pesticides may increase the risk of the condition.” “However, the evidence is not strong enough to show that pesticide exposure directly causes Parkinson’s,” she added, arguing the study is “reductive” and “doesn’t take into account how someone might have been exposed to pesticides at their workplace or whether they have a genetic link to the condition.” Despite decades of research, there’s no cure for Parkinson’s disease. However, treatments to slow its progression are available. Nailing down the exact cause of the disease has also proven extremely difficult. The consensus is that there are likely a number of genetic and environmental factors at play. “It’s probably a perfect storm,” Parkinson’s Canada CEO Karen Lee told Global News. “Meaning, you have genes that prime you to potentially get Parkinson’s, and if you’re put in the right environment, potentially that is what sets off the onset of Parkinson’s disease.” More on Parkinson’s: Brett Favre Says He Has Parkinson’s, Likely From Countless Concussions Source link #Living #Golf #Lead #Terrible #Chronic #Illness Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

Shai guy turns on Bolton brilliance as Freo stun Giants Shai guy turns on Bolton brilliance as Freo stun Giants Shai Bolton has lived up to the hype as he directed Fremantle to a 34-point victory over GWS to stay in touch with the AFL top eight. The star Dockers recruit put on a clinic as Justin Longmuir’s side snapped their two-game losing streak with a 13.17 (95) to 8.13 (61) victory on Saturday in their Sir Doug Nicholls Round fixture. Fremantle squared their season ledger at 5-5 with their first win at Engie Stadium, moving from 12th to ninth on the live ladder. Bolton led the way with three goals, 24 disposals, 12 contested possessions and 10 score involvements, despite a groin issue and occasional attention from GWS tagger Toby Bedford. Bedford was also sent to Angus Brayshaw, but the midfielder had his fair share of the ball (28 disposals, three clearances) alongside Caleb Serong (35, seven). Michael Frederick was also influential in attack for the Dockers, finishing with three goals and 11 score involvements to celebrate his 25th birthday in style. Meanwhile, the Giants (5-5) are eighth after suffering their fourth loss in five matches. Finn Callaghan played through discomfort in a bid to spark the home side with 24 disposals and seven clearances, as defensive Lachies – Ash (29) and Whitfield (24) – worked under the pump. Callaghan came off worse for wear following a collision with Fremantle’s Patrick Voss after the third-quarter siren, requiring strapping on his right shoulder before returning to the match. GWS had earlier lost young midfielder Toby McMullin, substituted out at halftime with an adductor injury. The Giants had opened the scoring, with small forward Darcy Jones needing just 46 seconds to draw first blood on return from a knee injury. But it was Frederick who was the first-quarter star in attack, kicking two straight goals to help put the visitors ahead by six points. Voss almost provided a first-term highlight when he burned off Giants defenders Jack Buckley and Sam Taylor near the boundary line, but could only get a behind for his effort. The Dockers continued to dominate but were wasteful with their chances in the second quarter, kicking 2.6 (18) to 2.1 (13). They rallied after the break, with Bolton selling some candy for his third goal, and defender Cooper Simpson slotting his first to cruise to victory as GWS struggled to execute basic skills.

Why long-term care costs can be a ‘huge problem’ Why long-term care costs can be a ‘huge problem’ Kate_sept2004 | E+ | Getty Images Long-term care can be costly, extending well beyond $100,000. Yet, financial advisors say many households aren’t prepared to manage the expense. “People don’t plan for it in advance,” said Carolyn McClanahan, a physician and certified financial planner based in Jacksonville, Florida. “It’s a huge problem.” Over half, 57%, of Americans who turn 65 today will develop a disability serious enough to require long-term care, according to a 2022 report published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Urban Institute. Such disabilities might include cognitive or nervous system disorders like dementia, Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease, or complications from a stroke, for example. The average future cost of long-term care for someone turning 65 today is about $122,400, the HHS-Urban report said. But some people need care for many years, pushing lifetime costs well into the hundreds of thousands of dollars — a sum “out of reach for many Americans,” report authors Richard Johnson and Judith Dey wrote. The number of people who need care is expected to swell as the U.S. population ages amid increasing longevity. “It’s pretty clear [workers] don’t have that amount of savings in retirement, that amount of savings in their checking or savings accounts, and the majority don’t have long-term care insurance,” said Bridget Bearden, a research and development strategist at the Employee Benefit Research Institute. “So where is the money going to come from?” she added. Long-term care costs can exceed $100,000 While most people who need long-term care “spend relatively little,” 15% will spend at least $100,000 out of pocket for future care, according to the HHS-Urban report. Expense can differ greatly from state to state, and depending on the type of service. Nationally, it costs about $6,300 a month for a home health aide and $9,700 for a private room in a nursing home for the typical person, according to 2023 data from Genworth, an insurer. More from FA Playbook: Here’s a look at other stories impacting the financial advisor business. It seems many households are unaware of the potential costs, either for themselves or their loved ones. For example, 73% of workers say there’s at least one adult for whom they may need to provide long-term care in the future, according to a new poll by the Employee Benefit Research Institute. However, just 29% of these future caregivers — who may wind up footing at least part of the future bill —had estimated the future cost of care, EBRI found. Of those who did, 37% thought the price tag would fall below $25,000 a year, the group said. The EBRI survey polled 2,445 employees from ages 20 to 74 years old in late 2024. Many types of insurance often don’t cover costs Maskot | Maskot | Getty Images There’s a good chance much of the funding for long-term care will come out-of-pocket, experts said. Health insurance generally doesn’t cover long-term care services, and Medicare doesn’t cover most expenses, experts said. For example, Medicare may partially cover “skilled” care for the first 100 days, said McClanahan, the founder of Life Planning Partners and a member of CNBC’s Financial Advisor Council. This may be when a patient requires a nurse to help with rehab or administer medicine, for example, she said. Where is the money going to come from? Bridget Bearden research and development strategist at the Employee Benefit Research Institute But Medicare doesn’t cover “custodial” care, when someone needs help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, using the bathroom and eating, McClanahan said. These basic everyday tasks constitute the majority of long-term care needs, according to the HHS-Urban report. Medicaid is the largest payer of long-term care costs today, Bearden said. Not everyone qualifies, though: Many people who get Medicaid benefits are from lower-income households, EBRI’s Bearden said. To receive benefits for long-term care, households may first have to exhaust a big chunk of their financial assets. “You basically have to be destitute,” McClanahan said. Republicans in Washington are weighing cuts to Medicaid as part of a large tax-cut package. If successful, it’d likely be harder for Americans to get Medicaid benefits for long-term care, experts said. Long-term care insurance considerations The Good Brigade | Digitalvision | Getty Images Few households have insurance policies that specifically hedge against long-term care risk: About 7.5 million Americans had some form of long-term care insurance coverage in 2020, according to the Congressional Research Service. By comparison, more than 4 million baby boomers are expected to retire per year from 2024 to 2027. Washington state has a public long-term care insurance program for residents, and other states like California, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York and Pennsylvania are exploring their own. Long-term care insurance policies make most sense for people who have a high risk of needing care for a lengthy duration, McClanahan said. That may include those who have a high risk of dementia or have longevity in their family history, she said. McClanahan recommends opting for a hybrid insurance policy that combines life insurance and a long-term care benefit; traditional stand-alone policies only meant for long-term care are generally expensive, she said. Be wary of how the policy pays benefits, too, she said. For example, “reimbursement” policies require the insured to choose from a list of preferred providers and submit receipts for reimbursement, McClanahan said. For some, especially seniors, that may be difficult without assistance, she said. With “indemnity” policies, which McClanahan recommends, insurers generally write benefit checks as soon as the insured qualifies for assistance, and they can spend the money how they see fit. However, the benefit amount is often lower than reimbursement policies, she said. How to be proactive about long-term care planning “The challenge with long-term care costs is they’re unpredictable,” McClanahan said. “You don’t always know when you’ll get sick and need care.” The biggest mistake McClanahan sees people make relative to long-term care: They don’t think about long-term care needs and logistics, or discuss them with family members, long before needing care. For example, that may entail considering the following questions, McClanahan said: Do I have family members that will help provide care? Would they offer financial assistance? Do I want to self-insure? What are the financial logistics? For example, who will help pay your bills and make insurance claims? Do I have good advance healthcare directives in place? For example, as I get sicker will I let family continue to keep me alive (which adds to long-term care expenses), or will I move to comfort care and hospice? Do I want to age in place? (This is often a cheaper option if you don’t need 24-hour care, McClanahan said.) If I want to age in place, is my home set up for that? (For example, are there many stairs? Is there a tiny bathroom in which it’s tough to maneuver a walker?) Can I make my home aging-friendly, if it’s not already? Would I be willing to move to a new home or perhaps another state with a lower cost of long-term care? Do I live in a rural area where it may be harder to access long-term care? Being proactive can help families save money in the long term, since reactive decisions are often “way more expensive,” McClanahan said. “When you think through it in advance it keeps the decisions way more level-headed,” she said.

Minutes Before Deadly Yacht Sinking, Deckhand Filmed Video of Looming Squall Before Alerting Skipper: Report Minutes Before Deadly Yacht Sinking, Deckhand Filmed Video of Looming Squall Before Alerting Skipper: Report The U.K.’s Marine Accident Investigation Branch released their interim findings on Wednesday, May 14, which included a reconstruction of the final moments before the deadly Sicily yacht sinking The investigation alleged that minutes before the vessel began to sink, a deckhand filmed the storm and posted it on social media before closing the hatches and waking up the skipper When the yacht capsized, seven of the 22 people aboard died Minutes before the luxury Bayesian yacht began sinking off the coast of Sicily, killing seven, a deckhand allegedly filmed the incoming storm and posted it on social media before closing the hatches and waking up the skipper, according to a new report. The U.K.’s Marine Accident Investigation Branch released the interim findings of their safety investigation on Wednesday, May 14, which included a reconstruction of the final minutes before the ship sank. The investigation found that at 3 a.m. local time on Aug. 19 — just over an hour before the ship tipped over and began to sink — a deckhand, identified as Matthew Griffiths by The New York Times, noticed that “thunderclouds and lightning” seemed to be coming in closer proximity to the yacht. Ahead of the incident, local weather forecasts had predicted “intense and persistent rain” accompanied by “strong wind gusts,” according to the report — so the skipper left instructions to be woken up if the wind exceeded 20 knots, or about 23 miles per hour. At the time the deckhand first noticed the approaching storm, the wind was still just 8 knots, or about 9 miles per hour. Around 3:55 a.m., the deckhand allegedly took a video of the advancing storm and posted the footage to social media before closing hatches and the cockpit windows. By this time, the wind had reached 30 knots, or about 34 miles per hour, and the ship was beginning to lean to one side — and the deckhand ran to wake the skipper, which happened around 4 a.m. At that point, the chief engineer had also woken up and went to the control room to try and maneuver the ship while the skipper attempted to steer from the fly bridge. But within minutes, the wind picked up and by 4:06 a.m., the ship “violently heeled over” to 90 degrees, then sank. Of the 12 passengers and 10 crew members who first set sail aboard the Bayesian on Aug. 14, seven were trapped and died when the boat sunk: British tech entrepreneur Mike ****** and his daughter, Hannah ******; New York City lawyer Christopher Morvillo and his wife, Neda; and Morgan Stanley International chairman Jonathan Bloomer and his wife, Judy; and yacht chef Recaldo Thomas. The Italian manufacturer of the ship previously claimed that when run correctly, the Bayesian was “unsinkable,” according to The New York Times. The investigation found that some of the ship’s vulnerabilities to weather were not known to the owner or crew, so they were unaware of the danger they faced with the approaching storm. Although questions had been raised about whether the boat was properly secured, the new report stated weather was the primary risk.

Crew members all spoke with investigators in the weeks after the tragedy. In addition to the safety investigation, a parallel criminal investigation is being led by the local prosecutor’s in Sicily. The deckhand as well as the ship’s skipper and chief engineer are all reportedly under investigation for possible multiple manslaughter and negligent shipwreck charges, but have not yet been formally accused of any crime.

13 jobs that don’t require a college degree — and won’t be replaced by AI 13 jobs that don’t require a college degree — and won’t be replaced by AI If you think most Americans finish college, think again. Going to college is an American rite of passage. But not everyone goes to college, and many students never make it to graduation. Among Americans ages 25 and over, only 38% are college graduates, according to the Education Data Initiative. A new report from the resume-writing service Resume Now identifies 13 careers that offer good pay and long-term stability, and that don’t require a college degree. Better still, none of the jobs is likely to be replaced by AI. The analysis “focused on three or four fears that people have right now,” said Keith Spencer, a career expert at Resume Now. Americans worry about potential signs of a softening job market. They’re concerned about the cost of college, and whether a degree is still worth it. And workers in many fields fear that AI – or robots, or other nonhuman hands – might sweep in to replace them. Despite the slow creep of automation, many fields still require the human touch. To build out this list, Resume Now found careers that require only a high school diploma, that pay at least $50,000 a year, and that represent growing fields with high-demand skills. The report draws on Bureau of Labor Statistics data. “They sort of all have some similarities, in terms of the need for significant human interaction,” Spencer said. “Maybe they require manual dexterity in unpredictable environments, or high levels of creativity.” The list comes in two parts: Jobs with relatively low AI risk, and positions with “moderate” AI risk, based on the need for human decision-making, manual labor, personal interactions and other factors. Some of the jobs listed below require “a level of relevant experience,” Resume Now reports. But none, apparently, requires a college degree. Here’s the list, including job descriptions for less familiar positions, and median salaries for all. According to Resume Now, these careers offer a good income and strong job security, because they require skills that go well beyond the capabilities of AI.
