READ MORE A forgotten pioneer of Australian football has finally been recognised. The name Andrew Dettre will not register with younger afficionados of the game, but the 92-year-old former journalist, who has been inducted into the Australian football hall of fame, was arguably the most significant driver of the modern game.

READ MORE Greenberg first mooted the #talkupthegame campaign in an interview with Fairfax Media last month, although he hadn’t added a hashtag to it then. He wasn’t calling on the media to talk up the game. “The game is too good and matters to so many people,” he said. “So as players, officials and coaches when you get the chance, talk the game up.” The role of the media, whether its sport or politics or any round, isn’t to talk up the game. It’s to report, analyse, comment. We’re reporters, not cheerleaders. (Could you imagine Roy Masters holding pom-poms? Yes, so can I). Those aggressive Telegraph reporters and columnists thundering away at Greenberg are like many in the rugby league media who see some real issues that need addressing, along with the great stories, too.

READ MORE Geysers are the result of magma heating water that has seeped into the ground, triggering an eruption of liquid through vents in the earth surface for as long as dozens of minutes, followed by billowing steam that may last days. Yet geysers are difficult to study. Most have unpredictable eruptions that may happen in intervals lasting years, making it challenging to assign resources such as seismic monitors and cameras, Poland said. For instance, no scientists observed Friday’s eruption. It was reported by a visitor, he said. Poland said he is not sure what is exactly going on with the Steamboat geyser. One possibility he offered: the three eruptions on March 15, April 19 and Friday could point to thermal disturbances – heated ground that can change the behaviour of geysers and springs or form new ones, he said. The string of eruptions over a year in 2003 may have been connected to a particularly violent thermal disturbance that killed trees and nearly boiled t...

READ MORE London: The Palace of Westminster, with its cinematic Big Ben clock, set beside the River Thames, is a survivor – of epic fire, German bombs, sulfuric smog and bad plumbing.

READ MORE Ipswich’s demographics and Christmas wrapping could be to blame for the city’s almost-failed recycling program, mayor Andrew Antoniolli says.
