Vic man admits
knuckleduster TEEN MURDER
A
man has admitted murdering a Victorian teenager who was bashed to death and dumped in an old mineshaft. Thomas Kelson, 28, pleaded guilty on Friday to murdering Cayleb Hough, whose body was found in bushland west of Melbourne about three months after he died. Kelson’s plea comes weeks before he was due to stand trial for murder in the Supreme Court. Cayleb’s body was found in the Lerderderg State Park near Macedon, in March 2016. Prosecutors alleged Kelson bashed the boy for hours in Collingwood, believing he had harmed Kelson’s father. Kelson then bundled the injured teenager into the back of his car and set off for an abandoned mineshaft about 60 kilometres
Thomas Kelson away, the Crown said. It was alleged Kelson stopped during the journey to strike the teenager repeatedly with knuckledusters. A forensic doctor said Cayleb suffered two fractures to his jaw about the time he died. Hair samples showed the boy had multiple drugs in his system, including methamphetamine and cannabis. Kelson and Cayleb had been at a house party together in Skye earlier in the night before the bashing. Kelson is due to return to court for a pre-sentence hearing on August 2.

Etihad Stadium to become
Marvel Stadium M
elbourne’s Etihad Stadium is getting another name change after almost a decade, with the multi-purpose venue to be rebranded as Marvel Stadium. The eight-year deal with the Walt Disney Company Australia, which starts on September 1, will include the renaming of the stadium, an on-site Marvel shop and cross-marketing by the entertainment giant. Melbourne Stadiums Limited chief executive Michael Green says the sponsorship deal will allow for increased engagement with visitors to the ground. “We have become the world’s busiest multi-purpose stadium. Now, we look forward to a new era of entertainment for the stadium where we will push the envelope,” he said in a statement on Thursday.
Green said Marvel was one of the world’s most recognised brands and a “powerhouse” of the entertainment industry. “It is a brand dedicated to audience experiences, which firmly aligns with our vision to create incredible experiences for fans,” he said. Walt Disney Company Australia managing director Kylie WatsonWheeler said the sponsorship deal provided a new way for the Marvel brand to interact with a broad audience. “Through (this) partnership with MSL we hope to bring people together and provide them with a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the Marvel brand,” Watson-Wheeler said. The ground has been previously been named the Docklands stadium, Colonial Stadium and Telstra Dome.

“We stand with them, and remain in solidarity with women everywhere who have faced unsafe and abusive workplaces. We look forward to seeing justice prevail.” Actress Mira Sorvino, who was one of the first to make an allegation of sexual misconduct against Weinstein, tweeted: “Sending love to all my sisters today who stood up against a monster... so many emotions... “I am proud of and grateful to you all.” Rose McGowan, who has alleged Weinstein raped her and instructed lawyers in London to bring a harassment case against him, told BBC Radio 4’s PM: “It’s a concrete slap in the face of abuse of power. “I hope we emerge victorious and if anything we have emerged victorious, no mater what, because people are listening now.” She wrote on Twitter: “We got you, Harvey Weinstein, we got you.” Actress Asia Argento, who has also has also accused Weinstein
of rape, said she was “popping this bubbly” after the disgraced mogul surrendered to police to face allegations of sexual misconduct. The actress also shared a video of Weinstein arriving at the New York Police Department at Tribeca in Manhattan, writing: “What took you so long Harvey?” She later wrote: “Harvey Weinstein ain’t smiling now.” TV chef Anthony Bourdain wrote on Twitter: “When you went on record, (at) AsiaArgento you were sure this day would never come, that you would be crushed, that you were alone. And yet you did it anyway. (hash) perpwalk.” Argento is one of dozens of women who have made allegations against Weinstein. Speaking on stage at the Cannes film festival last week, Argento said she predicted the producer would “live in disgrace, shunned by a film community that once embraced him”. Weinstein has denied all allegations of non-consensual sex.

WEINSTEIN CHARGED Weinstein faces new rape allegation, suit Three women have filed a new class action lawsuit against Harvey Weinstein, including one who alleged that Weinstein raped her after she came to his office to pitch her internet startup. The woman, Melissa Thompson, accuses Weinstein of luring her to his hotel room for a meeting in 2011 and then forcibly raping her. “Thompson was fighting back, but could not out-muscle him,” the lawsuit filed on Friday states. “Thompson closed her eyes, traumatised, praying for the assault to end.” Earlier that day, Thompson said that she went to Weinstein’s Tribeca office to pitch him on a marketing startup called Intercast Networks. According to the suit, she made a video recording of the encounter on her laptop. As she explained the company’s services, she alleges that Weinstein began to caress her legs. He promised to make a deal that afternoon if she would meet him for a drink at the Tribeca Grand Hotel, the suit alleges.
Once there, he brought her to his hotel room, where the alleged rape occurred. The complaint also alleges that Thompson sought help from the law firm of Benjamin Brafman last (northern) autumn and turned over her video evidence to the firm not realising that Brafman was representing Weinstein. A second woman, actress Caitlin Dulany, also alleged that Weinstein sexually assaulted her at the Hotel du Cap in Cannes in 1996. Dulany earlier told a version of her encounter in a first-person account for the Wrap, though she did not mention the alleged assault. In the suit, Dulany alleges that Weinstein performed oral sex on her without her consent and then masturbated. The third plaintiff, actress Larissa Gomes, alleges that Weinstein cornered her in a hotel room in Toronto in 2000, tried to get her to give him a massage and asked to see her breast. She recoiled and Weinstein became angry. “You know Gwyneth
Paltrow and Ashley Judd were exactly where you are at one point,” Gomes quotes him as saying. “Look at them now. Ashley Judd had no problem f***ing me.” ( Judd and Paltrow have both alleged that Weinstein made unwanted advances.)
According to Gomes, she tried to get away and alleges that Weinstein forcibly tried to kiss her, before she fled. Weinstein has consistently denied all allegations of nonconsensual sex. He has pleaded not guilty to charges of rape and criminal sexual acts in New York, and faces up to 25 years in prison on those charges.

Vic curry chef jailed for murdering diner A
Nepalese curry chef will spend at least 17 years in jail after he fatally stabbed a drunken customer up to 17 times at his Victorian restaurant after he asked for spicy food. Hari Prasad Dhakal, 50, stabbed 38-year-old Pakistaniborn IT worker Abdullah Siddiqi multiple times at the Ballarat Curry House on October 25, 2016. Supreme Court judge Lex Lasry said on Friday the killing was “totally out-of-proportion” to provocation from his customer the only diner in the restaurant. Mr Siddiqi - an infrequent drinker - arrived at the restaurant with a bottle of Jim Beam black label whiskey. After finishing his meal, the intoxicated Mr Siddiqi approached the counter and asked for more food - something spicy - but Dhakal told him he’d had too much to drink. The two men then pushed and shoved each other, with Mr Siddiqi slipping at one point. Dhakal then took a knife and stabbed Mr Siddiqi multiple times, with 17 sharp force
injuries to his head, neck and arms, which damaged his arteries, veins, voicebox, cervical spine and skull. “It’s common ground the deceased lost his temper and became quite abusive towards you,” Justice Lasry said. Justice Lasry said Mr Siddiqi had called Dhakal a “motherf***er” and “sisterf***er” in Hindi. “I accept the deceased was aggressive and you responded spontaneously,” he said. “(But) the threat from him was totally out-of-proportion to the action you took with the knife in your restaurant. “You were entitled to be offended by what he said and you were entitled to resist his somewhat clumsy pushing. However, your actions in stabbing him to death went far beyond anything that had been done to you.” Justice Lasry accepted Dhakal’s remorse and that he suffered anxiety because, being Brahmin (the highest Hindu caste), his actions would not be condoned. “This is one of those rare cases
where despite your plea of not guilty ... I accept you are remorseful,” he said. “It occurred spontaneously and in response to significant provocation from the deceased.” Dhakal turned up to a police station producing the knife, which he’d wrapped in cloth and placed in a plastic bag,
saying: “I’ve killed someone”. Dhakal claimed during his trial he acted in self-defence, lost control and had little memory of his actions and feared Mr Siddiqi might attack him with a knife, but the jury rejected his claims. Dhakal was living in Australia illegally without a visa for several years after his 2000 arrival and will almost certainly be deported post-sentence. He was jailed for 23 years with a minimum of 17 years.

Standards Command has revealed the falsification of 258,463 out of 17.7 million breathalyser tests since 2012, and former police chief Neil Comrie is tasked with finding out why. Officers faked the tests by either placing a finger over the straw entry hole or by blowing into the straw themselves. A leading theory is they wanted to appear more productive. “Victoria Police is incredibly disappointed. It is incredibly poor behaviour by our members,” Professional Standards Command Assistant Commissioner Russell Barrett told reporters on Thursday.
The main culprits were general duties and highway patrol officers, with some rural areas overrepresented, but Mr Barrett said it was too early to say how many police were involved.

WEST HOLLYWOOD DECLARES STORMY DANIELS DAY
T
he porn actress who is suing President Donald Trump has been praised as a heroine in West Hollywood, California. About 100 people cheered and chanted “Stormy! Stormy!” as Daniels appeared outside an adult entertainment store called Chi Chi LaRue’s on Wednesday. Mayor John Duran officially declared it “Stormy Daniels Day” and presented her with the key to the city. “This community has a history of standing up to bullies and speaking truth to power, and I’m so lucky to be a part of it,” Daniels said. Duran called Daniels a modernday Lady Godiva who “has had to bear the slings and arrows of attacks not only from people all over this country, but from the most powerful person on the planet.” Daniels and her lawyer are “fighting back for all of us to get our country back into our hands,” said Duran. Outside the store, a mannequin was adorned with a T-shirt with pink letters reading (hash) TeamStormy. A banner with the
city’s logo said “(hash)resist.” A liberal city of 35,000 with a huge LGBT population, West Hollywood has declared itself a sanctuary city and a “safe space” for people of all nationalities and immigration status. Its City Council has vehemently opposed what it considers to be Trump administration bigotry and discrimination. Last year, the City Council approved a resolution calling on the US House of Representatives to impeach Trump. Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, has starred in dozens of adult films, including one called “Sexbots: Programmed for Pleasure” and a Sleeping Beauty parody where she played Maleficent. She also has been appearing at strip clubs across the country since gaining notoriety for her ties to the president. Daniels alleges she had an affair with Trump in 2006 and has sued to invalidate the confidentiality agreement she signed days before the 2016 presidential election. She contends the agreement is invalid because Trump never signed it.
She’s also suing Trump and his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, alleging defamation. While Trump has denied the affair, Cohen has acknowledged paying Daniels $US130,000 ($A172,200) as part of the non-disclosure agreement.

Richard Branson training to be astronaut << cont. from front page...
The billionaire, who is attempting to get his space tourism company Virgin Galactic off the ground, said that he will be catapulted into space within months. “We’re talking about months not years - so it’s close. There are exciting times ahead,” he told BBC’s Radio 4. “I’m going for astronaut training, I’m going for fitness training, centrifuge and other training so that my body will hopefully cope well when I go to space.” Sir Richard, tech entrepreneur Elon Musk and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos are leading the charge in commercial space travel as they race to get tourists into space. While Sir Richard believes Musk is “doing fantastically well” in getting cargo into space and building bigger and bigger rockets, the real tussle is between the Virgin boss and Bezos. “I think we’re both (Sir Richard and Mr Bezos) neckand-neck as to who will put
people into space first. “Ultimately we have to do it safely. It’s more a race with ourselves to make sure we have the craft that are safe to put people up there.” Sir Richard, 67, hopes to be one of those first space tourists. He said his astronaut training is going well so far, and he’s increased his fitness training by playing tennis four times a day. “Instead of doing one set of tennis every morning and every evening I’m doing two sets. I’m going kiting and biking - doing whatever it takes to make me as fit as possible.” The Virgin founder is also taking part in gruelling centrifuge training which recreates the pressures the human
body experiences during space flight. All astronauts endure G-force training which simulates the experience of take-off and travel through the earth’s atmosphere. Earlier this year Virgin Galactic completed a supersonic test flight of its SpaceShipTwo passenger rocket ship. It was the first return to the air for the company since a crash in the Californian
desert in 2014 in which one pilot was killed and another was injured.

“In general terms, when we are talking about Middle Eastern organised crime figures, it is about drug trade. There are a number of non-fatal shootings that have occurred.” Det Sgt Gasparini said a man drove up to the house just before 2.30am on November 19, in a dark coloured Toyota Hilux before hurling the grenade and hiding behind a parked car to watch the explosion. Witnesses saw the man flee, but he returned later, only to do a u-turn and leave again. Police said the attack was not random and assured locals the investigation is ongoing. “We are doing all we can to bring this person to justice,” Det Sgt Gasparini said. “It is quite concerning organised crime entities do have their hands on this type of weapon.” Det Sgt Gasparini said police are narrowing a long list of suspects and urged anyone - even those reluctant - to speak to police.

hitman jailed for life for executing Melbourne underworld figure Graham “The Munster” Kinniburgh has lost a bid to overturn his conviction. Stephen Asling was jailed last year for a minimum 27 years for gunning down Mr Kinniburgh, 62, outside his Kew home in 2003, on the orders of the late gangland kingpin Carl Williams. On Wednesday, the Court of Appeal rejected his appeal, which argued the judge had erred in admitting some evidence. The appeal judges found it was open to the jury to be satisfied of Asling’s guilt beyond reasonable doubt.

TRUMP WANTS AUST SUPPORT TO PRESSURE IRAN
U
S Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has called on Australia and other nations to help execute the Trump administration’s tough new campaign to ensure Iran “has no path to a nuclear weapon - not now, not ever”. Pompeo, in his first major foreign policy speech since becoming secretary of state, used fiery language to outline America’s strategy after US President Donald Trump defied the wishes of Australia, France, Great Britain and other allies and pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal. He said the US was ready impose the “strongest sanctions in history” against Iran and listed 12 demands the regime must follow, including providing the International Atomic Energy Agency with unqualified access to all sites throughout Iran. “In the strategy we laid out today, we want the support of our most important allies and partners in the region and around the globe,” Pompeo said in his address to the Heritage Foundation in Washington DC. “Certainly our European friends, but much more than that. “I want the Australians, the Bahrainis, the Egyptians, the Indians, the Japanese, the Jordanians, the Kuwaitis, the Omanis, the Qataris, the Saudi Arabians, South Korea, the UAE, and many, many others worldwide to join in this effort against the Islamic Republic of Iran. “I know that those countries share the same goals.” Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said he regretted Mr Trump’s decision to pull out of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal between Iran and the US, Britain, Russia, France, China and Germany. The deal, championed by former US president Barack Obama, lifted sanctions on trade with Iran in exchange for the slowing of the country’s nuclear research and development program. Pompeo warned Iran “will be
battling to keep its economy alive” when US sanctions come into force.
The Trump administration’s 12 demands are: • Iran must declare to the IAEA a full account of the prior military dimensions of its nuclear program, and permanently and verifiably abandon such work in perpetuity. • stop enrichment and never pursue plutonium reprocessing. • provide the IAEA with unqualified access to all sites throughout the entire country. • end its proliferation of ballistic missiles and halt further launching or development of nuclearcapable missile systems. • release all US citizens, and citizens of US partners and allies, detained in Iran on “spurious” charges. • end support to Middle East terrorist groups, including Lebanese Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. • respect the sovereignty of the Iraqi Government and permit the disarming, demobilsation and reintegration of Shia militias. • end its military support for the Houthi militia and work towards a peaceful political settlement in Yemen. • withdraw all forces under Iranian command in Syria. • end support for the Taliban and other terrorists in Afghanistan and the region, and cease harbouring senior al-Qaeda leaders. • end the IRG Quds Force’s support for terrorists and militant partners around the world. • end its threatening behaviour against its neighbours, including threatening to destroy Israel and firing missiles into Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
Demand creates flu vaccine shortage
U
nprecedented demand for the influenza vaccine has created a shortage of the potentially lifesaving injection across Australia. A record 5.1 million doses of the seasonal flu vaccine were brought into the country under the National Immunisation Program. But an up to 30 per cent surge in demand ahead of the winter season has impacted supplies, federal health authorities said on Monday. “According to states and territories, compared to last year, there has been a 25-30 per cent increase in demand,” Acting Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Hobbs said in a statement. To date, the Therapeutic Goods Administration has released 9.6 million doses of influenza vaccines under the immunisation program, state programs and the private market. In 2017, the TGA released 8.3 million doses. “The Department of Health is working closely with states and territories to monitor availability of vaccines,” Dr Hobbs said. The department is also working closely with company suppliers to ensure additional vaccines are brought into Australia.

Sick, elderly and kids get flu jab in Vic Victoria’s children, sick and elderly will get first dibs on the state’s flu vaccine supply until the Commonwealth can get a “solid supply” for the rest of the population, the state’s health minister says. Jill Hennessy told reporters on Wednesday the jab would be rationed to “the vulnerable” until there was a stable supply after record numbers of people had opted for the vaccine, causing a shortage. “Until we can get the assurance from the commonwealth government there’s flu vaccine available for all ... we’re rationing our flu vaccines for the most vulnerable groups. They are largely people with certain kinds of illnesses, for the elderly and for young children,” Ms Hennessy said. “But we want the flu vaccine to be available for all and that’s why we have called upon the federal government to get more assertive and organised about ensuring a solid supply.”

Mick Fanning spider officially recognised
Spaniards protest against bullfighting
A
Spanish bullfighter Gines Marin is gored by his second bull during the San Isidro bullfighting fair held at Las Ventas bullring in Madrid, Spain, 24 May 2018.
T
ens of thousands of people have rallied in Madrid for a nationwide ban on bullfighting in Spain. Protesters also demanded the removal of all spectacles involving bulls from the national cultural heritage register, the end of the support of such events using taxpayer money, and stronger animal protection laws. More than 40,000 people took part in the demonstration, according to organisers from the activists’ group Tauromaquia Es Violencia or TeV (Bullfighting is Violence). On central Madrid’s Puerta del Sol square, around 500 activists broke bullfighter lances that released a cloud of red powder to symbolise the blood of the 20,000
bulls that are killed each year in Spain during events that often have a centuries-long history. Protesters carried placards with phrases such as, “Bullfighting: National Disgrace”. “It is backwards that, in the 21st century, animals are still being tortured for fun and that it’s being financed with public money,” Laura Gonzalo, a spokeswoman for TeV, told the Spanish news agency Europa Press. Spain’s conservative government reduced the valueadded tax for bullfighting to 10 per cent in 2017. The tradition of bullfighting was declared a “national cultural heritage” in 2013 and can therefore be supported with public funding.
water spider named after surfer Mick Fanning has officially been recognised in science literature, along with 23 other new species discovered by Queensland arachnologist Dr Robert Raven. The Ornodolomedes mickfanningi name was chosen by a public competition a year ago, however the variety of the spider had only now been verified by the scientific community. Among the other 23 spiders recognised is the Ornodolomedes nicholsoni, named after American actor Jack Nicholson. Dr Raven said the name was chosen because the species was found at Two Peoples Bay, in Western Australia, and the US actor excelled at playing characters with dichotomous personalities. “We usually ask permission from the people we are naming the spider after, however we didn’t get permission from Jack Nicholson. We don’t think he will mind,” the arachnologist told AAP. “We did ask Mick Fanning
though, and he said he was very pleased.” Another new species is the Dolomedes briangreenei, named after string theorist Brian Greene. Dr Raven says they chose the celebrity names which reflect different features of the spider and to try make the arachnids more popular. “People don’t want to hear a scientific name, so we ran a competition last year for people to name the spider. And the winner was a Brazilian who suggested Mick Fanning,” he said. “This spider lives behind Mick’s area of the Gold Coast hinterland and hunts alongside the water.”

F
NEW HUNT LAUNCHED FOR
LOCH NESS MONSTER On the hunt for Loch Ness Monster’s DNA
T
he stories seem as tall as the lake is deep. For hundreds of years, visitors to Scotland’s Loch Ness have described seeing a monster that some believe lurks in the depths. But now the legend of “Nessie” may have no place left to hide. A New Zealand scientist is leading an international team to the lake in June, where they will take samples of the murky waters and conduct DNA tests to determine what species live there. University of Otago professor Neil Gemmell says he’s no believer in Nessie, but he wants to take people on an adventure and communicate some science along the way. Besides, he says, his kids think it’s one of the coolest things he’s ever done. One of the more far-fetched theories is that Nessie is a long-necked plesiosaur that somehow survived the period when dinosaurs became extinct. Another theory is that the monster is actually a sturgeon or giant catfish. Many believe the sightings are hoaxes or can be explained by floating logs or strong winds. Gemmell said that when creatures move about in water, they leave behind tiny fragments of DNA. It comes from their skin, feathers, scales and urine. He said his team will take 300 samples of water from different points around the lake and at different depths. They will filter the organic material and extract the DNA, he said, sequencing it by using technology originally created for the human genome project. He said the DNA results will then be compared against a database of known species. He
said they should have answers by the end of the year. “I’m going into this thinking it’s unlikely there is a monster, but I want to test that hypothesis,” Gemmell said. “What we’ll get is a really nice survey of the biodiversity of the Loch Ness.” He said the real discoveries may come in determining things like the prevalence of invasive species. Gemmell, 51, said he first visited Loch Ness in his late 20s while on holiday. Like thousands of tourists before him, he gazed out over the lake trying to catch sight of a monster. He said he first came up with the idea of testing DNA from the lake a couple of years ago and it resonated with many, including his children, aged seven and 10. Graeme Matheson, chief of the Scottish Society of New Zealand, said he, too, has visited Loch Ness and gazed out over the water, and that he wishes Gemmell all the best. “I hope he and his cohorts find something, although I think they’ll be battling,” Matheson said. “Still, it’s a good way to get a trip to Scotland.” Gemmell said that even if they don’t find any monster DNA, it won’t deter some Nessie believers. He said they’ve already been offering him theories, like that Nessie might be on vacation after swimming to the sea via hidden underwater caves, or that the creature might be extraterrestrial and not leave behind any DNA. “In our lives we want there still to be mysteries, some of which we will ultimately solve,” Gemmell said. “That’s part of the spirit of discovery. And sometimes, what you find may not be what you were expecting.”
ormer AFL player Jake King has been ordered to stay out of trouble for at least 12 months for illegally possessing testosterone and threatening to break a man’s legs. The 34-yearold former Tigers player on Monday avoided a conviction and was ordered to
pay a $5000 donation to charity by Melbourne Magistrates Court over one charge of threatening to inflict serious injury and one of possessing testosterone. King was also placed on a 12-month good behaviour bond. Outside court, King told reporters: “I’m just happy that it’s all over. And now I can just move on from it.” King pleaded guilty to the two charges as part of deal after prosecutors withdrew extortion and threat to kill charges involving Tony Mokdissi. The former forward threatened to break Mr Mokdissi’s legs in mid 2017 if he did not settle a debt with King’s former Richmond teammate Tyrone Vickery, who owns a restaurant in Hawthorn East. King retired from professional football in July 2014 and runs a tattoo parlour in South Melbourne with former bikie Toby Mitchell.
SCIENTISTS PROBE SUSPICIOUS RISE IN CFCs
T
here has been a suspicious rise in emissions of ozonedamaging CFCs, according to a study published in the journal Nature, despite a global ban on the chemicals introduced in 2010. The amount of trichlorofluoromethane (CFC11) in the atmosphere has been sinking more slowly since 2012 than should be expected, scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Colorado wrote. The measurements suggested that there was a new, unreported source of CFC-11, which was previously used as a cooling agent in refrigerators and as a propellant in spray cans as well as in the production of styrofoam. In the 1970s, scientists proved that their use was linked to the release of chlorine into the atmosphere and the depletion of the ozone layer, which absorbs harmful ultraviolet
radiation. Two years after the discovery of the hole in the ozone layer above the Antarctic in 1985, the Montreal Protocol was signed, an international treaty which introduced restrictions on the production of CFCs. The regulations were initially reflected by the data, with the amounts detected in the atmosphere sinking at a constant rate between 2002 and 2012. CFC can still be leaked when old refrigerators are scrapped, for example. But in 2012 scientists noted that the rate of decline had slowed by 50 per cent, according to the new study. The scientists said the deviation coincided with a rise in amounts of two other chemicals, chlorodifluoromethane and dichloromethane, suggesting they were all coming from the same source, though it was not clear exactly where they were being produced.

SAMSUNG TO PAY $US539M FOR COPYING iPHONE
A
jury has decided Samsung must pay Apple $US539 million ($A712 million) in damages for illegally copying some of the iPhone’s features to lure people into buying its competing products. The verdict is the latest twist in a legal battle that began in 2011. Apple contends Samsung wouldn’t have emerged as the world’s leading seller of smartphones if it hadn’t ripped off the technology powering the pioneering iPhone in developing a line of similar devices running on Google’s Android software. Previous rulings had already determined that Samsung infringed on some of Apple’s patents, but the amount of
damages owed has been hanging in legal limbo. Another jury convened for a 2012 trial had determined Samsung should pay Apple $US1.05 billion, but US District Judge Lucy Koh reduced that amount to $US548 million. The issue escalated to the US Supreme Court , which determined in 2016 that a lower court needed to re-examine $US399 million of the $US548 million. That ruling was based on the concept that the damages shouldn’t be based on all the profits that the South Korean electronics giant rung up from products that copied the iPhone because its infringement may only have violated a few patents.
VICTORIA TO TRIAL VIRTUAL PUBLIC TRANSPORT CARD
A
ndroid smartphone users in Victoria will be able to pay for public transport with a virtual Myki as part of a trial. About 1000 people will participate in the trial from July until early next year, using their phones to tap on and off, and top up as well as check their Myki balance, Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan says.
The trial will cost between $2 and $3 million and only apply to android users but the government says the technology could eventually be used in other phones as well. “This will mean that the phones can store the card and people will be able to use the existing readers, the existing gates to participate in the trial,” Ms Allan told reporters.
Apple had argued it was owed more than $US1 billon while Samsung contended the $US399 million should be slashed to $US28 million. The revised damages figure represents a victory for Apple, even though it isn’t as much as the Cupertino, California, company had sought. “We will consider all options to obtain an outcome that does not hinder creativity and fair competition for all companies and consumers,” Samsung said in a statement. An eight-person jury came up with the new amount following a one-week trial and four days of deliberation. Apple expressed gratitude to the jury for agreeing “that Samsung

should pay for copying our products.” “This case has always been about more than money,” a company statement said. “Apple ignited the smartphone revolution with iPhone and it is a fact that Samsung blatantly copied our design.”
ictoria’s cycling lobby group wants mobile phone signal-blocking technology in cars, but the premier is not convinced it’s a good idea. Premier Daniel Andrews said such technology would be risky in emergency situations. “We have no plans to introduce changes like that,” Mr Andrews told reporters on Thursday. “That would seem to me a very big step and one that would have a whole range of technical challenges - you know how would you cut out emergency
service vehicles for instance, in that sort of a comms ban?” The Bicycle Network said a new report by the federal government, which forecasts more deaths on the state’s roads due to mobile phone use, proves the need for the technology. “This dire prediction of increased loss of life highlights that cars should be fitted with phone blocking technology. Until that happens, whenever you get behind the wheel, you should turn off your phone and put it (away),” the group’s CEO Craig Richards said in a statement.

OFFICIALS PLAY DOWN MASS
SURVEILLANCE
FEAR S
enior bureaucrats responsible for the proposed rollout of a national facial recognition scheme have tried to allay fears it could lead to mass surveillance. Human rights organisations are concerned the system will be too broad and its safeguards too weak, risking the privacy of Australians. Home Affairs deputy secretary Joe Franzi said there were a range of checks and balances. “The identity-matching services bill does not allow or enable any mass surveillance capability,” Mr Franzi told a Senate committee in Canberra on Tuesday. Only authorised agencies including law enforcement and national security forces would have access to the data, he said. “There are protections in place around penalties for unauthorised access or use and there is regular reporting in the bill proposed to parliament,” Mr Franzi said. “There will be audits and controls around access.” He insisted it would not be possible to pull off a “mass” query in the hope of getting a swathe of images back. “I don’t think it does
actually lead to establishing the framework for mass surveillance,” Mr Franzi said. The Law Council is concerned allowing agencies to identify faces in crowds could result in CCTV footage being used to prosecute “low-level” unlawful conduct such as jaywalking and littering. It has urged parliament to clearly define the line between appropriate and illegitimate use of the data, fearing the facial recognition scheme could creep towards a full social-credit style of government surveillance. Under the plan, state and federal governments have agreed to give police forces realtime access to passport, visa, citizenship and driver’s licence images for use in various criminal investigations. The proposed laws will enable the Department of Home Affairs to collect, use and disclose identification information including facial biometric matching. The facial recognition system would initially be used by the public sector, but later rolled out to private companies like banks and telcos for verification purposes, rather than identifying unknown individuals.
henzhen Atall Intelligent Robot Technology is one of China’s leading companies for robots equipped with artificial intelligence. Its best-selling product is an AI sex robot named Emma. One of the newest models of Emma received makeup from a worker in the company’s factory on Thursday, part of the assembly process before it’s shipped off to a customer. The multi-functional machine is linked to the internet and Android operating system and features high stimulation capabilities. Sex robots have soft and elastic skin made of modified thermoplastic elastomer material, with less oil content and no smell. Its temperature is set to 37C to resemble a human’s. Safety issues are managed with anti-electric shock, anti-fire and anti-explosion measures. And the addition of body sensors help make sex robots feel more like a person. But a semblance of authenticity doesn’t come cheap, and Emma’s online retail price is about 20,000 RMB ($A4,136) with most customers being men aged 40-50. The company already has an investment deal with the Chinese government for producing and supplying AI robots for education

and presentations, and others for taking care of elderly people. Most other clients are from Europe and the US. French customers tend to like robots with blond curly hair, blue eyes, tanned skin, and hairless genitals with natural pink colour. Spanish customers prefer robots with darker skin and hair, full lips and larger, pink genitals. About 70 per cent of this market prefers pubic hair on the machines. Customers from the US are pickier and often request changes to the genitals’ colour and hair but prefer darker skin, and large breasts and buttocks and genitals. The Chinese go for dolls with Asian features, and small, pink, hairless genitals. Male sex robots are also on the market but the sales volume is nine times lower compared to the female models. The fact that China is becoming an aging society means that the market size for these robots will be huge, says Shenzhen Atall CEO Wang Shao Fang. Despite the impressive functionality, it will take 10-20 more years of development until fully functional robots - that can move their hands and walk like humans - will be available on the market at an affordable price, his chief engineer says.

FAMILY FINDS ALEXA HAS A MIND OF HER OWN
A
Portland, Oregon-family has learned what happens when Amazon’s popular voice assistant Alexa is lost in translation. Amazon recently described an “unlikely... string of events” that made Alexa send an audio recording of the family to one of their contacts randomly. The episode underscored how Alexa can misinterpret conversation as a wake-up call and command. A local news outlet, KIRO 7, reported that a woman with Amazon devices across her home received a call two weeks ago from her husband’s employee, who said Alexa had recorded the family’s conversation about hardwood floors and sent it to him. “I felt invaded,” the woman, only identified as Danielle, said in the report. “A total privacy invasion. Immediately I said, ‘I’m never plugging that device in again,
because I can’t trust it.’” Alexa, which comes with Echo speakers and other gadgets, starts recording after it hears its name or another “wake word” selected by users. This means that an utterance quite like Alexa, even from a TV commercial, can activate a device. That’s what happened in the incident, Amazon said. “Subsequent conversation was heard as a ‘send message’ request,” the company said in a statement. “At which point, Alexa said out loud ‘To whom?’ At which point, the background conversation was interpreted as a name in the customer’s contact list.” “We are evaluating options to make this case even less likely,” Amazon added. Assuring customers of Alexa’s security is crucial to Amazon, which has ambitions for Alexa to be ubiquitous - whether dimming the lights for customers or

VIC APP FOR OFF-DUTY PARAMEDICS LAUNCHED
A
mobile app is being rolled out in Victoria that will alert off-duty paramedics and other first responders to nearby medical emergencies, creating an “army” of potential life savers. The GoodSAM application sends alerts to
paramedics, firefighters, doctors and other trained professionals who are within a short distance of an emergency when it strikes. The app, launched by Ambulance Victoria on Tuesday, allows off-duty professionals to provide first aid before ambulance and emergency crews have arrived. It will be focused on time-sensitive medical emergencies, particularly heart attacks, and authorities believe it will save lives. “It’s about ensuring that we can get a trained bystander to someone in cardiac arrest Photo issued by GoodSAMapp of a as quickly person using a mobile phone to live as possible, stream an accident because minutes

About 1000 paramedics are already signed up as “Good Samaritans” and more than 100,000 trusted responders could eventually be involved. “An army of life savers, if you like, who are out there able to respond and support our paramedics,” Mr Walker said. Premier Daniel Andrews said the launch follows a successful four-month trial in which two people were successfully resuscitated from cardiac arrest. “Minutes matter, seconds matter, in terms of saving lives,” Mr Andrews said. “This is all about using modern technology to match the best skills with those who need them the most.” GoodSAM is being rolled out to trusted emergency agencies and paramedics, firefighters, doctors, nurses and others can become responders.

UBER INVESTIGATING SLEEPY DRIVER IN VICTORIA
U
ber says claims a Melbourne driver fell asleep at the wheel are “very concerning” and the ride share company is investigating. A young woman, named Angelica, filed a complaint with Uber after her driver allegedly fell asleep and drifted across lanes on the Eastern Freeway. “He actually dozed off and went left four lanes, and actually went off an exit, until he woke up,” she told Radio 3AW recently. Angelica, who did not give her surname, says her trip from the CBD to Wantirna South also took twice as long as usual, because the sleepy driver kept changing course. Uber responded saying they were investigating the matter. “What has been described is very concerning,” a spokesperson told AAP. “We take reports of unsafe driving very seriously.” Angelica filed a complaint with Uber and received a refund, but she said the driver “should not be on the roads”. Uber said dangerous driving breached guidelines and can result in the driver losing access to the app. The company said it continued to work on safety improvements and urged riders with safety concerns to make contact through the app.

CELEBRITY JAKE GYLLENHAAL EYED FOR SPIDERMAN ROLE J
ake Gyllenhaal might have found his first comic-book movie role. The Oscar-nominated actor is being eyed for Sony and Marvel’s “Spider-Man: Homecoming” sequel. He is in talks to play the villain Mysterio, joining Michael Keaton, who will return to reprise his role of Vulture. Tom Holland is returning to play Peter Parker, with Zendaya and Marisa Tomei also coming back for the sequel. Jon Watts is back as director and Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley are penning the script. Plot details are still unknown
at this time, but sources say Marvel and Sony, who will coproduce the film, were looking to cast a new male and female lead, with the desire for the male lead to be played by an A-list actor. Actresses for the female role, which is expected to be someone in her 20s, are currently being auditioned. For Gyllenhaal, it marks his first time in the comic-book realm. He has starred in more dramatic fare over the last decade, but the star has said he isn’t against doing a particular genre and takes each piece of material into consideration.
He is currently filming Dan Gilroy’s horror thriller “Velvet Buzzsaw,” but had been weighing several projects that he wanted to fit into his schedule before the end of the year. When several options were pushed to next year, it opened a window in his schedule for “Spider-Man” to be his next feature. Gyllenhaal was most recently seen in the Sundance pic “Wildlife,” which opened Cannes Film Festival’s critics week. He also has the western “The Sisters Brothers” opening later this year.

RICHARD GERE HAPPY TO BE MARRIED AGAIN A
ctor Richard Gere says he is the “happiest man in the universe” after marrying his third wife Alejandra Silva in April. The Pretty Woman star, 68, tied the knot with the Spanish activist, 35, in an Indian-inspired ceremony at Gere’s ranch outside of New York. The couple arrived together at the ceremony in a tuk-tuk. In an interview with Hello! magazine, Gere said: “I’m the happiest man in the universe. “How could I not be? I’m married to a beautiful woman who is smart, sensitive, committed to helping people, who’s fun, patient, who knows how to forgive, who’s a great cook - and who makes the best salads in the world! “Alejandra meditates, she’s a vegetarian, a great mother, has the touch of an angel and she’s also Spanish - the land of kings and queens, of Cervantes and Bunuel. You can’t get any better than that.” The couple met after the Hollywood star stayed at a hotel Silva’s family owns in Positano in
Italy in 2014. Silva is an activist who runs a charity that aims to eradicate homelessness in Spain. Her foundation hosted a screening of Gere’s film The Dinner in 2017. She revealed that Gere sent her flowers until she agreed to date him and he regularly writes songs for her.
Speaking about the first time they met, Silva said: “A friend introduced us, we looked at each other and felt a very strong connection. “We couldn’t stop looking at each other all night, and since then we haven’t been apart.” Gere was previously
married to supermodel Cindy Crawford from 1991 to 1995 and actress Carey Lowell from 2002-2016, with whom he had his 18-year-old son Homer. Silva has a five-year old son from a previous marriage.

JEFF GOLDBLUM TO RELEASE DEBUT JAZZ ALBUM
eff Goldblum is to record his debut album at the age of 65. The Hollywood actor - an accomplished jazz pianist - has signed with Decca Records Label Group. The US star was spotted by record executives after accompanying Gregory Porter on the Graham Norton Show in the UK last year. Decca bosses flew to Los Angeles to sign Goldblum who has been playing the piano since he was a child. His love of jazz was prompted by his father's love of Erroll Garner and a 15-year-old Goldblum began playing in cocktail lounges in Pittsburgh. As well as starring in box-office hits, the Jurassic Park actor has gone on to play with his jazz band, The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, across Los Angeles and in New York.

Caution needed over online diet advice
M
ore people are turning to the internet for diet and weight loss advice ahead of doctors and dietitians, a new survey suggests. A LiveLighter survey of 2000 adults, released on Wednesday, showed 44 per cent used the internet as their preferred source for information on weight loss. The local GP came in as the second most-preferred choice at 38 per cent, followed by the dietitian or nutritionist (17 per cent). Of concern, 12 per cent said they would seek advice from social media influencers. The findings have prompted a call for people to be more savvy about where they source their diet advice. “While there is some great evidence-based material on the internet, there is a lot of paid content as well,” said LiveLighter campaign manager, Alison McAleese. Ms McAlesse says ads for weight loss products - which
people often don’t need can be disguised as health advice or information. “Have a look at whether there is a cost involved and what do they want you to buy to improve your weight. When it comes with a whole lot of products, you have to question why,” said Ms McAleese. Internet users should also be particularly cautious about highly restrictive, ‘quick fix’ diets found online and question the credibility of advice spruiked by personalities on social media. “You don’t need any qualification whatsoever to be giving your opinion on social media, so people should really watch out for that and check where people are getting their information from,” warned Ms McAleese. “There’s lots of great wellknown organisations that use evidence and do have a social media presence, so try and check in with those ones instead,” she added.
TOP TIPS FOR WEIGHT LOSS:
• Watch portion size
• Go for 2 fruit and 5 veg
• Avoid sugary drinks
• Cut back on sugar
• Cut back on salt
• Choose health snacks
• Cut back on alcohol
• Be active everyday
• Watch the fats you eat

MasterChef winner admits to drink-driving
I
naugural MasterChef winner Julie Goodwin has been fined $600 and has lost her licence for six months after admitting to drinkdriving. Goodwin, 47, pleaded guilty in Gosford Local Court recently to driving with a mid-range prescribed concentration of alcohol (PCA) in April. Magistrate Ron Maiden fined her $600 and disqualified her from holding a driver’s licence for six months. In a post on Goodwin’s Facebook page in April, which is no longer available, the cook said she had been driving home from a “celebratory function” she had catered for when she was subjected to, and failed, a random breath test. “Needless to say I accept full responsibility for this error in
judgment, which I believe is completely out of character for me,” she said in the post. Goodwin said in the post she wanted to offer a “heartfelt and unreserved apology” to her family, colleagues and the broader community. “I am devastated that I have acted in a way so contrary to what I believe, to how I usually conduct myself, and to what I have taught my children,” she said. “Many lessons will flow from this, and I will learn from each of them.” Goodwin has written several cookbooks since winning the first season of MasterChef in 2009. She starred in another reality program, I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here, in 2015 and became a breakfast radio co-host on the Central Coast’s Star 104.5 that same year.

250-yearold wine sells for $A161,431
A
bottle of wine made in 1774 has reportedly sold for 103,700 euros ($A161,431) at auction in France. The bottle of Vin Jaune (yellow wine) from the Jura region was made by winemaker Anatoile Vercel when King Louis XVI was on the throne, according to news agency AFP. It was sold alongside two other bottles made in the same year, which fetched 76,250 euros and 73,200 euros. “I never thought the bottles would sell for so much,”
Not to be used in conjunction with any other offer. Offer valid only at Oporto Peninsula Link. Valid until 01-07-2018 PENINSULA LINK-NORTHBOUND, BP Freeway Service Centre, 1401 Peninsula Link Freeway BAXTER 5971 4984 1400 PENINSULA LINK-SOUTHBOUND, BP Freeway Service Centre, Peninsula Link Southbound BAXTER 5971 5675
Lons-le-Saunier auctioneer Brigitte Fenaux told AFP. “The last record, in 2011, was for 57,000 euros.” The buyers were Canadians and somebody bidding on behalf of some Americans, she said. The bottles had been kept in a cellar by Vercel’s descendants and taken out for the auction. A tasting of the same Vin Jaune was organised in 1994 by 24 experts, who rated it a 9.4 out of 10 and said it tasted of “nuts, spices, curry, cinnamon, vanilla and dried fruits.”
Fake reviews offered to Russia World Cup eateries
A
Russian marketing agency has offered to help restaurants in cities hosting the soccer World Cup use fake reviews to bump up ratings on review site TripAdvisor, the agency’s owner has confirmed. Marketing company Bacon Agency says it can circumvent TripAdvisor’s algorithm for detecting fraudulent posts and publish reviews in foreign languages ahead of an influx of fans from abroad. “What can you do if no Serbs and no Swedes have ever been to your venue and left a review?” Bacon Agency asks, in a brochure received by a restaurant in Yekaterinburg, which hosts Egypt and Uruguay in their first-round matches. “You write it yourself!” the agency says. For 35,000 roubles ($A750), the agency promises a spot in TripAdvisor’s top 10 list. “We are offering to help tourists find you, and to leave their
money specifically with you,” it writes. “We oppose any attempt to manipulate a business’ ranking,” TripAdvisor said. “Our dedicated investigations team is proactive and extremely effective at catching those trying to solicit fake reviews for money.” Fake reviews are widespread, but it is unusual for a company involved in the practice to discuss it so openly, or to link it explicitly to a sports event. The World Cup has created lucrative opportunities for businesses in the 11 host cities hoping to benefit from wellto-do foreign fans at a time when Russians are feeling the pinch from a fragile economy and Western sanctions. Contacted by Reuters, Bacon Agency confirmed it had offered the service, but said it only wanted to act as the middleman between restaurants and freelancers posting fake reviews.

Eating right and staying healthy in retirement
A
mericans are now living longer than ever before. In fact, one of the fastest growing segments is people over the age of 85 who will represent 20 percent of the population by the year 2040. Because we are living longer, certain conditions specific to seniors are also on a steady rise. Dehydration, falls, fractures, cognition loss and attention deficits are now becoming more commonplace. In a recent paper titled “Salt Appetite Across Generations” presented at a medical conference in Switzerland, Israeli researchers from the University of Haifa indicated that among seniors, a reduced sense of thirst could increase the risk of serious dehydration. They also noted that the appetite for salt does not diminish with age, and suggested that this could be used to help sustain hydration and prevent the dangerous symptoms that result from dehydration. Another study published in the American Journal
of Hypertension identified significant risks to cardiovascular health and longevity from consuming less than 1, or more than 3 teaspoons of salt per day. Fortunately, most Americans, including seniors, when left to their own choice, consume right in the middle of this range. Seniors in assisted living centers can be especially susceptible to the dangers of low-salt diets. In 2013 a task force of 12 professional medical, nursing and nutritional organizations assembled by the Pioneer Network published the “New Dining Practice Standards.” Their report concluded that low-salt diets were contributing to malnutrition and weight loss among a significant percentage of seniors in assisted living facilities. Low-salt diets can also cause seniors to suffer from mild hyponatremia, an electrolyte imbalance in the blood that may not sound bad but can lead directly to
walking impairment, attention deficits and a much higher frequency of falls. Several recent medical papers found a direct relationship between hyponatremia and unsteadiness, falls, bone fractures and attention deficits. Falls are one of the most serious problems for the elderly and about a third of people over 65 fall at least once every year.
Fall-related injuries in the elderly are associated with numerous psychological and physical consequences and are a leading cause of bone breakage and hip fractures, which can lead to complications and permanent disability or death. Some seniors do need a low-salt diet but many do not, and would not benefit from such a diet.

NEW VOICE FOR TRIAL KENNEDY TIM T
im Morrison’s been on a rock n’roll road trip since re-appearing on The Voice and becoming one of the top four finalists on Delta Goodrem’s team. Before moving in a solomusic direction, Tim toured extensively out front for Melbourne rock outfit Trial Kennedy. Once touted as the next big thing in Australian music, the band also received great praise for their debut album New Manic Art which celebrated its 10th Anniversary recently and saw Trial Kennedy reunite for a sold-out show at Max Watts in Melbourne last month. It’s a familiar sight for fans of Tim’s previous band, combined with new fans who witnessed him on hit show, and now it’s a sight Australian music fans can once again with the release of Shine, Tim’s first solo single. Shine, the first of many solo
tracks Tim has ready to be put down on tape, led this Melbourne boy into the studio of good friend and acclaimed rock producer Hadyn Buxton, who last worked with Tim on Trial Kennedy’s 2011 album Living Undesigned. Having written Shine on piano, Tim knew he wanted to play the instrument on the recording and the end result is a track that soars. There is urgency to the bristling keys of the intro that opens out into a gorgeous rock chorus propelled by that voice. It’s a voice honed through years of live performing and now Tim is giving it reign to tell his own stories. “There is something extremely exhilarating about creating music on your own,” Tim says of being a solo artist. “Of having that freedom of creative control.” “But on the flip side you lose
that joy of creating as a group. You really cannot compare the two. You love them equally but they’re just different.” Having stepped out on his own, Tim has spent the last year writing and recording tracks here and overseas, working with a whole range of producers interested in hearing Tim develop a style all his own. “The Voice made me realise who I do and don’t want to be as a musician and for that I am forever grateful. Strangely enough, my experience also taught me not to take myself too seriously,” Tim explains. Tim Morrison performs a tasty collection of his acoustic favourites on Friday June 15 on the deck at Rosebud Hotel from 9pm and Friday June 22 at The Cove Hotel in Patterson Lakes from 8pm.

entertainment Cameron’s Titanic was excuse to see wreck
I
t is one of the highest grossing films of all time but James Cameron says he only made Titanic as an excuse for 20th Century Fox to fund his dive to the wreck of the doomed ocean liner. The Oscar-winning director was describing his life-long fascination with the deep ocean on Monday, captured in the new immersive exhibition “Challenging the Deep” at the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney. It’s a fascination that’s seen him make history as the only person to dive solo to the deepest spot on the planet Challenger Deep. Located in the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean, 320 kilometres southwest of Guam, Challenger Deep is 11 kilometres beneath the surface - deeper than Mount Everest is tall. “It was certainly a pinch-me moment, that moment when the hatch closed and the lift bags came off,” he said.
Film-maker James Cameron poses for a photo with a scale model of the Deepsea Challenger cockpit at the media preview of the Challenging the Deep Exhibition at the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney.
“There’s just me and the universe here ... there’s an out of body feeling to it.” All six-feet two-inches of Cameron clambered into a replica of the pilot capsule of a deep sea submersible he helped design and build and that took him to the ocean floor, as he gave a tour of the exhibition on Monday. It’s a space only a metreor-so wide and missing the electrical equipment that left him with “barely room for an energy bar” and descending alone inside was an experience he describes as completely isolating. “To me it was a zen kind of spiritual experience, to be that remote from humanity,” he says. “I got to observe, to bear witness to something that no one else has ever seen.” It’s pitch black that far beneath the surface, and Cameron likens his underwater

I am a sensitive girl and can be a little shy at times but I am mostly good to handle. I will definitely require an experienced owner or professional trainer to bring me into work if you would like me as a ridden horse. I can be a bit cheeky to catch initially, but once I get to know you it doesn’t take me long to warm up to you. I love spending my days by my best friends side, I really need the companionship of another horse as I’m not very confident on my own.

New Holden Equinox Diesel Combines Fuel Efficieny and High-tech Features
H
olden has announced the introduction of a new fuel-efficient 1.6-litre turbo diesel engine on its all-new, high-tech SUV, Equinox, set to go on sale across Australia from early May. Available across the range, the 1.6-litre turbo diesel boasts an impressive fuel economy from just 5.6L/100km, while retaining strong power and torque of 100kW and 320Nm respectively. The third engine to be introduced in the Equinox range, the new 1.6-litre turbo diesel
engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and available in front-wheel-drive or all-wheel drive. Introduced in late 2017, the all-new Equinox now adds longer-range driving and improved fuel economy to an already impressive list of hightech features including wireless phone charging and heated and ventilated front seats. The family friendly, mid-size SUV is also practical, creating a life of ease with its built in hands-free power tailgate† and

HONDA UK REVEALS CIVIC TYPE R UTE AT SMMT TEST DAY
H
onda UK has stolen the show at the annual SMMT Test Day this year by showcasing a Civic Type R Pickup Truck concept, almost a year after the launch of the standard road car in the UK. Built by a specialist team from the Product Engineering department at the Honda of the UK Manufacturing (HUM) factory in Swindon and codenamed ‘Project P’, the Civic Type R Pickup Truck has been modified and developed from the standard road car to create potentially one of the fastest pickup trucks on UK roads. To create the Project P concept, the team used a pre-production version and adapted the design rearwards from the B-pillars of the car, with sweeping lines from the roofline to the back hiding a flatbed loading area in the
centre of the car where the rear seats and boot space would normally be. Finished in Rallye Red, the concept retains the iconic rear wing associated with both the FK2 and FK8 Civic Type R, which, in a clever piece of engineering, is movable to allow direct and unfettered access to the back of the truck. Using the same powertrain, suspension and gearbox as the standard road car, it is estimated Project P will complete the 0-100 km/h sprint in under six seconds and reach a top speed of more than 265 km/h. It also possesses the same driving modes of comfort, Sport and +R, Project P offering both ride comfort as well as a unique racing capability on track. Mr. Alyn James, project lead, commented: “We have a special projects division at the factory
in Swindon and this project was a fantastic opportunity for the team to show just what their creative minds could do. “The passion that our engineers have for Honda is shown in our latest creation and we are even considering taking it to the Nurburgring to see if we can take the record for the fastest front wheel drive pickup truck!” Mr. Phil Webb, head of car at Honda UK, added: “This Civic Type R Pickup Truck concept by the special team at our Swindon-based plant demonstrates the passion and commitment of the team
there – going above and beyond outside working hours to deliver the final product. “There are no plans to put this in to production but we will be using it to transport our lawn and garden products as and when required!”

Review says Tesla Model 3 has big flaws
I
nfluential US magazine Consumer Reports has declined to recommend Tesla’s Model 3 sedan, saying it braked slower than a fullsized pickup truck. The car is seen as crucial to the electric car company’s profitability at a time when it is battling to reverse production shortfalls, confronting reports of crashes involving its vehicles and facing increased scepticism over its finances. On Twitter, Musk said the fully-loaded Model 3, with allwheel drive, a dual motor and a 310-mile (499-km) range - but excluding its vaunted Autopilot feature - would cost $US78,000 ($A102,968). The company has not yet begun to make the $US35,000 b ($A46 trillion)ase price version that Tesla originally claimed would make it a mass-
market vehicle. Consumer Reports, however, declined to recommend the Model 3 and criticised it for having overly long stopping distances and a difficult-to-use centre touchscreen. The magazine, which provides an annual rating of vehicles sold in the United States, said even though its tests found plenty to like about the Model 3 and it was a thrill to drive, it had “big flaws.” Tesla’s stopping distance of 152 feet (46 m) when braking
at 60 miles per hour (100 km per hour) was “far worse” than any contemporary car tested by the magazine and about seven feet longer than the stopping distance of a Ford F-150 fullsized pickup, it said. Tesla said its own testing had found braking distances of 133 feet on average using the 18” Michelin all season tyre, and as low as 126 feet with all tyres currently available. Meanwhile, a Tesla Model S sedan has crashed and killed the driver in the San Francisco
Bay Area, one of a recent spate of crashes, some of which involved fire and some of which took place while the company’s semi-autonomous Autopilot technology was engaged. In the latest case, the car launched off a rural county road into a nearby pond more than 60 feet from the road, state and local law enforcement said. Tesla said it did not yet know the facts and had not yet received data from the car, but was cooperating with local authorities.

AFL Midseason Report Card WEST COAST: GRADE A+
Top with 10 wins from 11. The Eagles were meant to be on the slide after losing a batch of experienced players. But Adam Simpson’s side is setting a hot pace which could lead to two home finals. Win them, they’re in the big dance. Five home games to come and they play Brisbane away in the final round.
RICHMOND. GRADE A
Second with nine wins, two losses. What a premiership defence thus far. The Tigers continue to be a masterly benchmark of the pressurepacked style which delivered last year’s flag. They only travel interstate three more times and meet the Suns, Bombers and Bulldogs in a kind run into the finals. Top two beckons.
MELBOURNE. GRADE A
Third with eight wins, three losses and a whopping percentage - 140.2 - which will come in handy for top-four reckoning later in the year. The Demons are the league’s highest scorers. Six more MCG games but a Darwin game, two trips to Adelaide and to Perth and Geelong in the run home. Not quite a top-four lock, but close.
spot. Five more Etihad Stadium fixtures with away games against Adelaide, Brisbane and Geelong. Can they keep up their hectic pace?
COLLINGWOOD: B+
Seventh with seven wins, four losses. A heartening half-season from Nathan Buckley’s Magpies, who have finally found attacking potency - only the top three Eagles, Tigers and Demons have scored more than the Pies. Collingwood have seven more MCG matches to come, and trips to Gold Coast, Sydney and Fremantle. Looking likely finalists.
PORT ADELAIDE: GRADE B
Eighth with six wins, four losses. Played a game less than the rest and actually rose to eighth spot despite a defeat last Saturday. The Power remain an enigma: contender or pretender? Port have a nice stretch of eight home games to come, and away games in Melbourne, Perth and Ballarat. Well-placed for a late dash.
ADELAIDE: GRADE C+
Ninth with six wins, five losses. So much was expected of the Crows but injuries have cruelled last year’s losing grand finalist. They’ll hope the bad luck eases SYDNEY: GRADE A as they face a demanding stretch Fourth with eight wins, three losses.

Thereabouts side is pushing for a top-four for finals.
ESSENDON: GRADE D
Twelfth with four wins, seven losses. Such a disappointment, the Bombers. A season-opening victory, but also winless for a month to slip off the finals pace. Travel to the Gabba and Perth in consecutive weeks. And John Worsfold’s side play West Coast, the Tigers and Sydney among trips to the Gold Coast and Port Adelaide.
FREMANTLE: GRADE C
Thirteenth with four wins, seven losses. The Dockers are about where most pundits had them pre-season. Competitive, tough to beat at home, but short of the finals pace. Still have six home games and one against the Eagles to come before finishing with a tough two: the Cats away and Collingwood.
Suns have failed to shine again. They’re by some margin the league’s lowest scorers and face Sydney, Melbourne and Richmond in what is a horror month-long block to come.
ST KILDA: GRADE F
Sixteenth with one win, nine losses, one draw. The Saints remain mired in mediocrity. Coach Alan Richardson’s rebuild is now in a fifth year - and it’s as fruitless as those before. Eight more games in Melbourne and they meet five clubs currently stationed in the top eight. Alsorans again.

Bogut says NBL is top three in the world A ndrew Bogut says the NBL is the third-best basketball league in the world - even though it hasn’t always been run in a manner befitting the high standard of the on-court action. As a former NBA No.1 draft pick and championship winner with the Golden State Warriors in 2015, Bogut’s decision to join the Sydney Kings on a two-year deal is a huge fillip for a competition which has endured some tough times in recent years. But things are on the up for the sport, both at home and in the NBA where a record number of Australians are plying their trade. Bogut, 33, lauded the NextGen camp being run in Melbourne this week as a prime example of how the NBL was now matching it with the likes of the AFL, the NRL and cricket in the battle to secure the most talented athletes in Australia. “Hopefully there are more and more NBA players a decade down the track than there are now,” he told reporters. “We’re in a golden era in basketball in as far as
producing world-class talent. “When you have that in a national team it creates a trickle-down effect.” Bogut cut his teeth at the Australian Institute of Sport which played in the secondtier SEABL competition, before heading to college in the United States. Although he is yet to make his NBL debut, the 213cm centre has always held a high opinion of the standard of play, ranking it behind only the NBA and the Euro-League. “I’ve always thought the NBL, competition-wise, has been a top-five league in the world,” he said. “I don’t think it’s been run that way in the past and that’s what has hurt it. “In a way it’s been disrespectful to the players. “... It’s not an easy league for imports to come in and dominate and the proof is in the pudding, but unfortunately the business side of it hurt the players. “That’s been corrected in my opinion now.” After finishing his playing career with the Kings, Bogut will take on a part-ownership role with the franchise.

TIME TO ACT LIKE CRICKET HEROES: TIM PAINE

Ronaldinho to marry two women at once
F
ormer Barcelona star Ronaldinho is planning to marry two women at the same time, according to reports in his native Brazil. Rio de Janeiro’s daily newspaper O Dia claims Ronaldinho, 38, has organised an August ceremony at which he will celebrate his love for live-in
girlfriends Priscilla Coelho and Beatriz Souza. Bigamy is illegal in Brazil and O Dia reports that the wedding will therefore be unofficial, instead offering Ronaldinho an excuse to hold a party for close relatives at his upmarket Rio condominium.
you don’t act on them and don’t live by them.” Paine was confident they would strike a balance between being respectful, and being competitive enough to trouble England, the world’s No.1ranked ODI team who beat them 4-1 in Australia earlier this year. “We’re not going over there to make up the numbers or to be the nicest Australian cricket team to ever play against. We’re going there to win,” Paine said. While Paine knows how he wants the team to play, what the team actually looks like is another question entirely. The batting line-up will take on a new look with the absence of Steve Smith and David Warner while frontline bowlers Pat Cummins and Mitch Starc are

both injured. Paine has his own ideas about who should be picked but was yet to share them with Langer or the selectors. However, it appears Glenn Maxwell will be central to Australia’s plans after a glowing endorsement from Paine. “I think he’s, even at international level, an out-andout matchwinner,” he said. “If we can get Maxy playing in a role he’s really comfortable in and it compliments our team, he can be really important for us this series. “I’m sure we’ll try a few different combinations in the practice games leading into the first game.”

teve Smith’s comeback to cricket has begun, with the suspended former Australia skipper being named as a marquee player in Canada’s T20 league. Smith will join fellow international stars, including Chris Gayle, Andre Russell and Shahid Afridi in the sixteam tournament beginning on June 28, according to cricket.com.au. The 28-year-old was stripped of the captaincy and handed a 12-month suspension from international cricket for his role in the Cape Town Test ball-tampering scandal in March. Smith admitted having knowledge of the plan but failed to stop Cameron Bancroft using sandpaper to tamper with the ball on the third day of the third Test against South Africa. Smith’s also banned for two years from him holding a leadership position within the Australian team and 100

Crows eye fourth captain after Lynch hurt
M
idfielder Matt Crouch is set to become Adelaide’s fourth captain this AFL season as a spate of injuries strikes the club’s leadership group. Stand-in skipper Tom Lynch is expected to miss at least Sunday’s away trip to Fremantle because of a side strain, his exact prognosis to be released on Tuesday. With captain Taylor Walker (back/ glute), vice-captain Rory Sloane (foot) and now Lynch sidelined, Crouch is the only member of the club’s leadership group still fit. “Obviously as the leader Tom is, and the run that he provides, it was a miss for the forwards and the midfield to link through him,” first-year forward Darcy Fogarty told reporters on Monday. “But we have got enough people there that can fill his spot. “Everyone knows what they need to do - it doesn’t really matter who does the coin toss. “We have got plenty of leaders out there to bounce off.” The Crows are grappling with their third loss in four games. After hitting the front early in the final term at home on Sunday against Greater
Western Sydney, they conceded the last three goals to lose by 16 points. Lynch’s teammate Richard Douglas copped a poke to an eye and is also being assessed on Monday. Adelaide could again summon Andy Otten as they seek to arrest a mid-season slide, while Curtly Hampton is available he hasn’t played since needing ankle surgery after the opening round. The Crows hope Walker and Sloane will miss only another two weeks, with utility Riley Knight (hamstring) also due back in a fortnight. Forward Mitch McGovern (ankle) is two months from resuming and while Brodie Smith’s recovery from a knee reconstruction is on track, he won’t press for selection until late in the season. Onballer Brad Crouch’s year appears shot - he’s having surgery this week on his long-term groin problem, osteitis pubis.
SWANS HAVE ‘GOT THE MESSAGE’ ON
STAGING S ydney coach John Longmire says ruckman Callum Sinclair has learned his lesson when it comes to staging. Sinclair dominated Carlton in last Friday night’s AFL clash at the SCG, producing one of his greatest games in the red and white. However, the 28-yearold’s performance was soured by an overt attempt to draw a 50m penalty that resulted in a $1000 fine for staging.

HEROES Time to act like cricket heroes: Tim Paine
A
ustralian cricketers want to be seen as “heroes” again, but captain Tim Paine admits the only way it’ll happen is if they act like it. Paine and the rest of the ODI squad will be hoping to restore the country’s battered reputation in Australia’s first international tour since the Test series in South Africa that was soured by the balltampering scandal.

Such was the emotion surrounding the fairytale of the Bulldogs’ triumph in 2016 - only the second in club history and the first since 1954 - that an emotional letdown the following year was hardly surprising.
