This Eastern Screech Owl closed its eyes and tucked its feathers perfectly into this tree hole. It's amazing how well nature helps them blend in, which is why these tiny masters of camouflage are so hard to find!

While most Australians receive the bulk of their income as wages or salaries, much of the increase in wealth for high net worth individuals comes from the rising value of assets they already own. Increases (or decreases) in the value of these assets are known as unrealised capital gains (or losses).

Suppose you buy a share for $1 in 2025. By 2026, its value has increased to $3. The share has generated a capital gain of $2. If you sell the share, you realise the gain. If you continue to hold it, the gain remains unrealised.

For billionaires, unrealised capital gains on shares in companies, real estate and other valuable assets, such as artwork or classic cars, account for a large share of the growth in their wealth.

For example, over the past 10 years, the wealth of Australia’s 200 richest people has grown from $197 billion to $707 billion, according to the Australian Financial Review’s Rich List.

From an economic perspective, these unrealised gains increase a person’s purchasing power just as wages do for workers. The key difference is how they are taxed, with unrealised capital gains receiving preferential treatment.

Destin Sandlin examines the systemic engineering and economic hurdles involved in manufacturing a grill scrubber entirely in America. Through a deep dive into sourcing components like injection-molded knobs and specialized chain mail, the project highlights the complexities of maintaining domestic supply chains and preserving vital technical trade skills in a competitive global market.

This ability to turn oil demand on and off, ostensibly at low economic cost, allows the world’s biggest oil importer to move prices just as the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies have long done through their control of half of global output. And as the cartel is weakened by the recent departure of the United Arab Emirates and strained production capacity of its remaining Gulf members, China’s market power is growing. As one oil-trading boss puts it, “China is the new OPEC.”

With US beef prices soaring to record highs, you might think that South Dakota cattle rancher Eric Gropper would be celebrating.

Yet while the cost of the meat in US supermarkets is now 12% higher than it was a year ago, a rise more than three times the rate of general inflation, Gropper says that he and all the other beef farmers aren't making any more profit than usual.

Egypt, Nigeria and South Africa, three of Africa’s biggest economies, have agreed new currency swaps with China as the share of trade settled in yuan expands. Kenya has converted dollar-denominated loans into yuan, potentially saving up to $215m a year in interest costs, equivalent to nearly a fifth of its debt-service payments to China in 2025. Around two-thirds of the country’s outstanding debt to China is now denominated in yuan. Ethiopia and Mozambique are negotiating similar arrangements.

From Wildlife Haven

This little Northern Saw-whet Owl arrived at Wildlife Haven two weeks ago with a serious head injury. She had multiple lacerations and puncture wounds on her head, along with a large area of missing feathers.

Our veterinary team provided specialized wound care, along with pain management and supportive treatments to help this tiny patient heal. In just two weeks, this owl has made great progress! The wounds have healed, her feathers are starting to grow back, and she's back to flying! We're now just waiting for a little more feather growth before this little owl is cleared for release and ready to return to the wild where she belongs.
