U NO GAME OF THRONES IN NEW HBO HACKER LEAK

ackers continue to pester HBO but have not released any material related to the network’s hit show Game of Thrones in their latest leak. The hackers broke into the cable channel’s computer network and have been doling out stolen information for the past several weeks. They have released more unaired episodes, including several of the eagerly awaited return of Curb Your Enthusiasm, which makes its debut in October. ...cont. on page 19 >>

TURNBULL GIVING US A ‘BLANK CHEQUE’: RUDD

evin Rudd has accused the prime minister of acting irresponsibly by pledging Australia’s support for the US if North Korea attacks America. The former prime minister took a swipe at Malcolm Turnbull’s commitment to follow through on the ANZUS treaty, arguing there was no need to lock in specifics.

But one of Australia’s defence ministers says Mr Turnbull was only explaining how the ANZUS treaty works and any decision to commit troops was one for cabinet. Mr Turnbull recently confirmed Australia would come to the aid of the US should if it was attacked, insisting both nations are joined at the hip on defence. ...cont. on page 05 >>

2016 hottest year on record: US agency

lobal warming has helped fuel the hottest year on record in 2016, with greenhouse gas concentrations reaching a new high, a US government report says. The report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration also cites a strong El Nino cycle as a factor behind the third consecutive year of record global warmth. The report released on Thursday says last year’s global weather was far more extreme or record breaking than anything approaching normal. NOAA’s annual state of the climate 2016 report highlighted numerous records including hottest year, highest sea level and lowest sea ice in the Arctic and Antarctica. The report said the world’s glaciers shrank, for the 37th year in a row, by an average of about a metre. Extreme downpours and droughts were up, as were tropical cyclones. Heat stored in the upper oceans was a near record high. Report co-editor Deke Arndt says the only normal global measure was snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere. Meanwhile scientists say climate change is affecting the timing of river floods across Europe, with the biggest shifts seen along the Atlantic coast. Researchers looked at data across a 50-year period, finding that half the measurement stations in western Europe, from England to Portugal, showed floods happening more than two weeks earlier by 2010. In a paper published on Thursday by the journal Science, the researchers found that earlier snow melts are also bringing floods in northeastern Europe forward by over a week. Floods around the North Sea area are happening more than a week later than in 1960. The authors concluded that future climate change may force farmers, hydropower plants, water companies and residents in affected areas to adjust to shifts in flood patterns.

VIC COP ON TRIAL FOR Vic police to MURDERING DRIVER explain Madafferi

Victorian policeman who shot dead a motorist after pulling him over allegedly planted a knife near the victim and lied to investigators. Former Leading Senior Constable Timothy Baker is standing trial in the Victorian Supreme Court accused of murdering Vlado Micetic in August 2013 at Windsor. Mr Micetic, 46, died after he was shot three times - once in the chest, another in his buttocks, and once in his left hand. “I was in fear that I was about to be stabbed,” Baker said in a statement he provided to police eight months after the shooting. “I believe I had no other alternative other than to shoot. “At the time I did so, I was acting in self-defence.” The highway patrol officer says Mr Micetic became argumentative about the stolen plates on his car.

CASINO BAN

ictorian police have been ordered to explain why they have banned from Crown Casino alleged Melbourne mafia boss Antonio Madafferi, who is challenging the decision in court. Mr Madafferi is fighting a decision made in 2014 by then chief commissioner Ken Lay to exclude him from Crown Casino based on concerns he was connected to organised crime. The businessman wants the Victorian Supreme Court to overturn the ban. Mr Madafferi also wants police to provide reasons for the exclusion order. Justice Michael McDonald on Monday ordered Mr Madafferi to submit affidavits by next Monday and for police to reply by the following week. The matter will return to court on August 30. Mr Madafferi was not present in court during Monday’s brief directions hearing.

Labor call for Barnaby to stand aside

ew Zealand authorities say Barnaby Joyce is a citizen, potentially making him ineligible to sit in Australia’s parliament and wiping out Malcolm Turnbull’s one-seat majority. But the issue won’t be tested in the High Court until later in August. The deputy prime minister told parliament on Monday the New Zealand High Commission contacted him last Thursday to advise him he could be a citizen of that country by descent. Under section 44 of the Australian Constitution, anyone who holds dual citizenship is ineligible to sit in parliament. The Nationals leader was born in Tamworth in 1967 to an Australian mother and is a fifth generation Australian. His father was born in NZ and came to Australia in 1947 as a British subject - a year before NZ citizenship was created as a legal concept. “Neither my parents nor I have ever applied to register me as a New Zealand citizen. The New Zealand government has no register recognising me as a New Zealand citizen,” Mr Joyce said. The government has received legal advice from the solicitorgeneral which suggests Mr

Vic man apologises for incest with sister

Victorian man who gave his younger sister genital herpes after forcing himself on her has avoided a jail term. The 22-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, on Monday apologised to his sister and mother before he was given a three-year community correction order for incest between siblings. “I don’t have much to say, but I am sorry for what I’ve done,” he told the Victorian County Court.

Joyce would not be found to be disqualified under section 44 of the constitution and would not have to resign as the Member for New England. However, a spokesman for the NZ internal affairs minister Peter Dunne told AAP there was crown law advice Mr Joyce was a New Zealander. “Under our law, as we understand, and it has been confirmed by crown law - they have had a look at it - yes, he is,” the spokesman said. Mr Dunne told Sky News he had received advice on Wednesday “that this is potentially a problem relating to Mr Joyce”. “The advice that I received was being checked by crown law. That was confirmed. At that point it was conveyed via the NZ high commissioner in Canberra to Mr Joyce directly.” Labor frontbencher Tony Burke told parliament Mr Joyce should stand aside from the ministry and the government should not accept his vote. “We’ve never before in this parliament ... had to go to the High Court and say: ‘Look, we’re not really sure if there’s a majority government in this country’,” he said. The High Court is now considering the futures of five MPs, with August 24 already set aside to hear cases involving Senator Canavan, former Greens Scott Ludlam and Larissa Waters and One Nation senator Malcolm Roberts. Mr Turnbull has written to offer Mr Shorten “the opportunity to nominate any Labor members or senators whose circumstances may raise questions under section 44 of the constitution” so the parliament can also refer those matters to the High Court. “The Australian people must have confidence in our political system and resolving any uncertainty is vital,” Mr Turnbull said. The government is believed to have been advised Mr Joyce has a strong case based on him not being on an NZ citizen list, his parents not having applied, his lack of knowledge and the fact he had never sworn allegiance to NZ.

<< cont. from cover... What form that aid took would depend on the circumstances and consultation between the two nations, he said. But Mr Rudd questioned whether conservatives in Australia had learnt anything from the Iraq war. “John Howard gave President Bush a blank cheque on Iraq,” he told ABC radio recently from New York. “You never as an Australian prime minister, as an ally of the United States, give the Americans, before the event, a blank cheque.” However, Defence Industry Minister Christopher Pyne said the treaty required that Australia consult the US in the event of an attack. The decision to commit Australia’s military forces was one the national security committee of cabinet and then the full cabinet would make, and it wouldn’t be made lightly. “We aren’t giving anyone a blank cheque,” Mr Pyne told ABC radio. “Kevin Rudd, I think, should recognise this is a serious matter and not one for political point scoring.” He believed the situation was a long way from the possibility of war.

www.bignews.com.au “We are at the moment using all diplomatic efforts to ensure that we never get to that point because the results of any war, especially if initiated by North Korea, are too terrible to think about,” he said. Mr Rudd and his successor Tony Abbott have called for Australia to obtain a missile defence shield, similar to America’s THAAD system. Mr Pyne dismissed that as “patently absurd”. It would cost tens of billions of dollars, take years to build and would be useless against the intercontinental, long-range missiles that were the only likely possibility of hitting Australia, he said. Crossbench senator Nick Xenophon said the ANZUS treaty was not about giving the US a blank cheque. “It’s about being partners in a very difficult situation,” he told reporters in Canberra. Australia’s war powers needed to be amended to give parliament greater scrutiny of overseas deployments. “We can’t sleepwalk our way into a conflict,” Senator Xenophon said. “That would have profound and disastrous implications for the Australian people.”

SINGAPORE SCIENTISTS

WORLD’S OLDEST MAN DIES IN ISRAEL AGED 113

BET ON PROBIOTIC

BEER I t’s a breakthrough worth raising a glass to. Researchers in Singapore have brewed up a beer containing probiotic bacteria that can improve gut health and boost the immune system. Food researcher Alcine Chan, 23, experimented for almost a year with a recipe of malt, alcohol, hops and a strain of probiotic bacteria, until she got the formula just right. “The hops are the main ingredient that kills probiotics, so we had to find a way for the probiotics to overcome the hops,” Chan said, demonstrating the pre-fermentation process in a laboratory at the National University of Singapore (NUS). The popularity of beer promises huge market potential for the

“The beer is simply a new vehicle for delivering probiotics and the associated health benefits,” said Chan’s project supervisor, Liu Shao Quan, adding that it had not yet been given a name. Liu’s team has also experimented with flavoured coffees and wines made from Southeast Asia’s popular lychee and durian fruits. But it will be some time before bars can offer the new beer, as the researchers wait for their drink to be patented. The pair are also in talks with beer companies on marketing plans, Liu said, without giving details. The beer contains the Lactobacilus paracasei L26 probiotic strain, the researchers said.

process, she said, adding that she hoped it would reach as many consumers as possible. Chan, who perfected the beer recipe as a project for the senior year of her degree, said she drew inspiration from the probiotic yoghurt and dairy drinks she consumes every day. The pale, bubbly drink tastes slightly sweet and has 3.5 per cent alcohol content, just under the 4 per cent to 6 per cent of regular beers. Every 100 ml of the drink, or roughly just over a mouthful, contains 1 billion probiotic organisms. While probiotics have been shown to improve digestive function and boost the immune system, among other health benefits, project researchers stop short of making nutrition claims.

olocaust survivor Israel Kristal, who last year was recognised by Guinness World Records as the world’s oldest living man, has died in Israel aged 113. Guinness said Kristal was born in Poland on September 15, 1903, and survived the Auschwitz death camp, where his first wife, two children and other family members were killed by the Nazis. He married again after the war and moved to Israel in 1950. Kristal was awarded a Guinness certificate as the world’s oldest man on March 11, 2016, when he was 112 years and 178 days old. He died on Friday in the northern port city of Haifa aged 113 years and 330 days, Israeli reports said. Jeanne Calment, a French woman, had the longest confirmed human lifespan, according to Guinness. She died in 1997 at the age of 122.

Vic police to ditch “suck it up” culture

hree Victorian police officers took their lives last year and the chief commissioner says it’s time for the force to sttop breaking people with a “suck it up” attitude. The spate of suicides led to last year’s independent mental health review, which heard reports of bad management, high workloads and a culture of repressing emotional problems. Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton on Monday launched a mental health strategy to change this culture. “We intend to make sure that we don’t continue to break people into the future as we have in the past, that’s our main focus with this strategy,” Mr Ashton told reporters on Monday. “(We want to see) mental health conversations form a normal part of interacting with each other ... but we’ve still got a long way to go and a lot of training to deliver.”

He said police are trained from day one to be the person who is always coping and in control, but more staff were reaching out for help since the review was released. There has been a 60 per cent increase in reporting for mental health issues and the force has hired 12 support staff in the psychology unit to meet demand, Mr Ashton said. Case workers will also help retired officers still experiencing mental health problems and a fund is available for ongoing support. The police union said the strategy presents a new era for the force. “Behind every depression, anxiety and PTSD crisis is a uniform and behind that uniform is a person,” Police Association secretary Wayne Gatt said. Police Minister Lisa Neville said the early intervention outlined in the strategy was key.

“I know from working with Victoria Police after the Bourke Street incident (in January) that the force offered incredible support very quickly and very early,” Ms Neville said. “There needs to be the ability to identify the development of mental health issues and to see the signs and that is what this strategy will do.” Mr Ashton said there were more than 1000 calls to police welfare following the Bourke Street attack, including from parts of the force that would not have normally have reached out. The full mental health strategy, based on the report’s 32 recommendations, will be fully implemented by 2020, Mr Ashton said.

106-year-old fruitcake found in Antarctica RONNIE WOOD REVEALS LUNG CANCER SCARE

ellington New Zealand scientists have found a “perfectly preserved” 106-year-old fruitcake in a remote Antarctic hut. The delicacy, made by British cake makers Huntley and Palmers, was still wrapped in paper and encased in the remains of a tin-plated iron alloy tin, the researchers at the Antarctic Heritage Trust in Christchurch said in a statement on Thursday. “Finding such a perfectly preserved fruitcake in amongst the last handful of unidentified and severely corroded tins was quite a surprise,” programme manager Lizzie Meek said.

Her team believe that the cake, found on a shelf in a hut in Cape Adare, belonged to Robert Falcon Scott’s northern party from 1911. The huts were the first buildings in Antarctica and are the only examples left of humanity’s first building on any continent. They were built by Norwegian Carsten Borchgrevink’s expedition in 1899 and later used by Scott’s party in 1911. Although the cake looked and smelled edible, it will remain a mystery as to what the centuryold sweet tastes like as it is unethical for conservators to taste-test their finds, Meek told

Newshub. “The fruit cake will go back to where it came from on a shelf in the hut and I guess the story is out there and visitors to the site will be able to see that tin,” she said. A team from the Canterbury Museum in Christchurch has recently finished a 14-month project conserving almost 1500 artefacts from Cape Adare.

FREE LOBSTER MEAL COSTS GUY VOTES: POLL

Labor would romp home if an election were held at the weekend, with about a third of people polled in four marginal seats less likely to vote Liberal because of the controversy, according to the ReachTel poll commissioned by Fairfax media. In two-party preferred figures, Labor would build on the 2014 result, getting 56 per cent of the vote in Bentleigh, 52 per cent in Frankston, 55 per cent in Mordialloc and 51 per cent in Carrum. Mr Guy admitted last week to sharing a dinner with accused mafia boss Tony Madafferi at the Lobster Cave in April.

And deputy premier James Merlino was issued with legal threats from Mr Madafferi for He says he was invited to the comments made outside of dinner by long-term Liberal parliament. member and Mr Madafferi’s Mr Madafferi is widely accused cousin, Frank Lamattina, to of being a high-level organised discuss fruit and vegetable crime figure, but he has never markets and not donations. been charged or convicted He also said he did not know Mr and strenuously denies any Madafferi would be at the dinner allegations.

olling Stone star Ronnie Wood has revealed that he underwent an emergency operation after being diagnosed with lung cancer. The guitarist, 70, who is father to two young twins, told The Mail On Sunday’s Event magazine that he wondered whether it was “time to say goodbye”. He revealed how his doctor made the discovery after undergoing health tests before the upcoming Rolling Stones tour. Wood told the magazine: “I’ve had a fight with a touch of lung cancer. “There was a week when everything hung in the balance and it could have been curtains - time to say goodbye. You never know what is going to happen.” The former hellraiser gave up smoking a year ago, before his twin daughters Gracie Jane and Alice Rose - with wife Sally Humphreys, 39 - were born.

ACCUSED VIC SIEGE GUN SELLER WANTS FREEDOM

Melbourne man accused of supplying the shotgun used by Brighton siege terrorist Yacqub Khayre wants to be released from custody. Khayre killed hotel clerk Kai Hao, 36, and injured three police officers during a siege at a Brighton apartment on June 5.

Father-of-two George MatteHado, 37, is accused of illegally selling a double-barrelled shotgun for $2000 to a middleman in the car park of a housing estate in May. Khayre later used the gun to shoot dead Mr Kai and shoot at police before dying in a hail of

return fire. Matte-Hado faces six charges, including two counts of unlicensed dealing of firearms. The 36-year-old has been in custody since he was arrested in June. He unsuccessfully applied for bail in the Melbourne

Magistrates’ Court on June 19 but police opposed his release, citing the serious allegations and the risk of reoffending. Matt-Hado is due to appear before the Victorian Supreme Court on Monday to make another application for bail.

Vic expelled students likely disadvantaged KIDNAPPED UK MODEL RECOUNTS ORDEAL

British model who was allegedly abducted in Italy has said she understands why people may doubt her story, but insists she was “terrified” and certain she would die during the ordeal. Chloe Ayling says she was lured to Milan for a fake photo shoot, then drugged, stuffed into a suitcase and held at a rural house by criminals who threatened to auction her on the dark web. In an interview with the Mail on Sunday, 20-year-old Ayling said “I was terrified beyond words. ... I thought, ‘I’m not going to get out of here alive’”. Ayling was freed after six days when a captor took her to the British consulate. Italian police have arrested a 30-yearold Polish man, Lukasz Herba. Explaining why she did not try to escape - and even went shopping with her captor Ayling said she was told she would be killed by a criminal syndicate called Black Death if she tried to flee. On a website, the group purports to sell weapons and drugs, arrange murders and conduct human trafficking. Police say they have not determined whether the organisation is real, and many cyber-experts are sceptical about its claims. Ayling told the newspaper it was “hurtful” that some people doubted her story. “I understand why people have questions,” she said. “People need to understand that everything I did was so I could survive. I was in a crazy situation and I was terrified every minute. “I know the truth, the police know the truth and it will all come out at the trial,” she was quoted as saying.

VICTORIAN STATE SCHOOL EXPULSION STATISTICS, 2016:

WAGE DATA UNLIKELY TO GIVE MUCH CHEER

ages figures due for release this week will likely confirm why Australians are so glum. The wage price index - the Reserve Bank and Treasury’s preferred measure of wage growth - is due on Wednesday and expected by economists to have risen by 0.5 per cent in the June quarter. That would leave the annual rate at 1.9 per cent, its lowest in at least 20 years and only just keeping pace with the rate of inflation. Average weekly earning

figures on Thursday will give a breakdown of wages in dollar terms. Last week, consumer confidence data showed pessimists outnumbered optimists for a ninth consecutive month, something that has not occurred since the start of the 2008-2009 global financial crisis. It was blamed on subdued wage growth, high household indebtedness and the rising cost of electricity. However, economists are expecting more good news on the employment front when the latest labour force report is also released on Thursday. They are forecasting an increase of 20,000 in the number of people employed in July, coming after several months of strong outcomes, notably in full-time

employment. Such a rise could be enough to take the jobless rate down to 5.5 per cent from 5.6 per cent, its lowest level in over four years. The Reserve Bank will release the minutes of its August 1 board meeting on Tuesday but they are unlikely to reveal anything new given central bank governor Philip Lowe was grilled by a parliamentary committee last Friday and having released its quarterly monetary policy statement a week earlier. Dr Lowe told the committee the average level of interest rates will be higher in the future than it is today, saying pricing on financial markets implying a greater probability of a rate rise than cut is a reasonable assumption. Markets are predicting an increase in the record low 1.5 per cent cash rate in the second half of 2018.

Stan lands Buscemi, Cranston in new series

ustralian streaming service Stan has landed stars Steve Buscemi, Timothy Spall and Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston to star in its first international original series based on short stories written by sci-fi novelist Philip K Dick. The anthology drama series, Philp K Dick’s Electric Dreams, will have ten stand-alone episodes based on one of his short stories each set in different worlds. Dick’s sci-fi short stories have been used as the basis for many films including Blade Runner, Total Recall and Minority Report. The series will be created and written by British and American writers and directors, including Cranston, who also serves as the executive producer of the series and will star alongside Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries

KIDS’ BRAIN CANCER star Essie Davis in the episode, Human Is. Other stars lined up for the series include: Julia Davis (Love Actually) who appears with Buscemi in the first episode Crazy Diamond, Anna Paquin (True Blood) and Terrence Howard (Empire) for the episode Real Life, Vera Farmiga (The Departed) to appear in Kill All Others, Greg Kinnear (As Good As It Gets) for Father Thing, Timothy Spall (Mr Turner) in The Commuter, Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire) in Crazy Diamond and Benedict Wong (Doctor Strange) in Impossible Planet. Stan has made several Australian productions including Wolf Creek and No Activity but this is its first international production, made in association with Sony Pictures Television.

BORDER FORCE OFFICIAL NABBED IN DRUG RING

n Australian Border Force official has reportedly been nabbed over an alleged international tobacco ring operating between Sydney and Dubai. It’s the third police operation this week following dawn raids on Tuesday when more than 570 AFP officers swooped on homes and businesses across Sydney. The Australian Federal Police and NSW Joint Organised Crime Group said on Thursday eight people have been arrested in Sydney and one in Dubai over their involvement in an alleged conspiracy to illegally import drugs and tobacco into Australia. Seventeen people were arrested across three countries, including two brothers of Kings Cross nightlife figure John Ibrahim, preventing about two tonnes of illicit drugs reaching Australia. AFP Assistant Commissioner Neil Gaughan and Australian Border Force Acting Commissioner Michael Outram will address media on Thursday morning.

IBRAHIM SON BAILED OVER DRUG MONEY: COURT

he son of “King of the Cross” John Ibrahim has been granted bail over his alleged involvement in handing over $2.25 million to buy smuggled tobacco. Daniel Taylor, 26, was charged with dealing with money intended as an instrument of crime after police raided homes across Sydney in relation to a multi-million dollar international drug-smuggling crime syndicate. The deal is alleged to have

occurred in July with his uncle Michael Ibrahim - the alleged mastermind behind the plot. John Ibrahim’s model girlfriend, Sarah Budge, 27, is not involved in the drugsmuggling syndicate but faced court on firearms and ammunition charges. Court documents suggest she was in possession of a Glock 26 pistol that had its identifying serial numbers removed when she was arrested at Double Bay on Tuesday.

breast cancer drug could be used to shrink the most common and deadly form of childhood brain tumour. The discovery, made by The University of Queensland’s Institute for Molecular Bioscience and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, has led to a Phase II clinical trial using the drug Palbociclib to treat children with medulloblastoma - a fast-growing, high-grade tumour. If successful, it’s hoped the drug would be combined with other traditional therapies to lessen the treatment burden these very young children face and improve survival, which currently stands at less than 10 per cent. “The tumour that we work on is the most common solid malignant paediatric brain tumour in children and one of the most aggressive,” said UQ researcher Dr Laura Genovesi. “With current therapies these children have devastating side effects, some have 14 surgeries in one year and it has a massive effect on the developing brain,” she said. “If we could reduce the number of surgeries to five that would be one quite realistic outcome.” Using genetic sequencing technology, researchers examined the genetic code of medulloblastoma to predict whether these tumours may respond to already-approved drugs. The analysis led them to Palbociclib, an oral drug approved in 2015 for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer, which doesn’t result in common side effects such as

hair loss and nausea. Animal experiments then showed the drug rapidly worked to arrest the growth of the brain tumours in mice engineered with the same genetic mutations as humans with the disease. Unexpectedly, the drug also shrank the tumours to a survivable size, say the researchers. Some tumours did, however, re-occur once treatment with Palbociclib stopped. The study is published in medical journal Clinical Cancer Research. Dr Genovesi says the finding is “remarkable” because the tumours were very advanced and only treated for a short period of time without the use of chemotherapy. “The beautiful thing with this drug is we tested it in two different genetic groups and it worked just as well. So we found a drug that as a single agent is highly effective and it works in multiple genetic subgroups of paediatric tumours,” Dr Genovesi told AAP. The results mean Palbociclib, or drugs like it, could potentially be used against medulloblastoma in combination with other drugs to treat resistant cells. “Because it’s so good at shrinking the tumours immediately, it could be used first up to shrink the tumour so that the surgery would be less and the radiotherapy less,” said Dr Genovesi. “The key to it the fact that it worked so well on its own means that anything we really combine with it, it’s only going to work better, it’s an open door in that respect,” she said.

n eclipse will cross the US for the first time in a century when the sun, moon and earth line up perfectly in the cosmos on August 21, turning day into night for a few wondrous minutes. Never will a total solar eclipse be so heavily viewed and studied - or celebrated. “We’re going to be looking at this event with unprecedented eyes,” promises Alex Young, a solar physicist who is coordinating NASA’s education and public outreach. And the party planning is at full tilt from Oregon to South Carolina. Eclipse Fests, StarFests, SolarFests, SolFests, Darkening of the SunFests, MoonshadowFests, EclipseCons, Eclipse Encounters and Star Parties are planned along the long but narrow path of totality, where the moon completely blots out the sun. Vineyards, breweries, museums, parks, universities, stadiums - just about everybody is getting into the act. Scientists are also going gaga. “This is a really amazing chance to just open the public’s eyes to wonder,” says Montana State University’s Angela Des Jardins, a physicist in charge of a NASA eclipse ballooning project. The student-launched, high-altitude balloons will beam back live video of the eclipse along the route. Satellites and ground telescopes will also aim at the

sun and at the moon’s shadow cutting a swathe about 97 to 113 kilometres wide across the land. Astronauts will do the same with cameras aboard the International Space Station. Ships and planes will also catch the action. At the same time, researchers and the just plain curious will watch how animals and plants react as darkness falls. It will resemble twilight and the temperature will drop. From the time the sun begins to be eclipsed by the moon near Lincoln City, Oregon, until the time the moon’s shadow vanishes near Charleston, South Carolina, NASA will emcee the whole show via TV and internet from that coastal city. The total eclipse will last just 90 minutes as the lunar shadow sweeps coast to coast at more than 2400km/h beginning about 1.15pm local time on the east coast. The sun’s crown - the normally invisible outer atmosphere known as the corona - will shine forth like a halo. It will be the first total solar eclipse in 99 years to cross coast-to-coast and the first to pass through any part of the Lower 48 states in 38 years. No other country but the US will be on the path of totality. Originating in the wide open North Pacific and ending in the Atlantic well short of Africa, the path of totality will cover 13,800 kilometres from end to end.

GROUPS PLEA FOR VIC ENERGY CRISIS FIX V

ictorian households desperately need the government to enact recommendations from an independent energy review that found the market is failing customers, consumer groups say. The review of the state’s gas and electricity markets says increased competition and deregulation has led to fundamental market failure and recommends an overhaul to make it fairer and easier for customers to navigate. Victorians were, on average, paying 21 per cent - about $300 - more for electricity per year compared with the cheapest offer on the market, review co-author and former deputy premier John Thwaites said. The panel recommended 11 changes to drive down prices and one of the key requirements is for retailers to introduce a “no frills” offer regulated by the Essential Services Commission. Consumer and welfare groups say the recommendations provide a path for the state government to ease skyrocketing

prices and provide greater transparency. Victorian Council of Social Service chief executive Emma King said the current system was in “crisis” with people freezing at night or skipping meals to pay bills. The report’s call for the state government to force energy retailers to advertise their offers in dollar terms, not confusing discount percentages, was “a potential game changer”, she said. The Consumer Action Law Centre says the proposal to re-regulate energy prices would bring an immediate benefit to customers. But the Australian Energy Council, which represents major energy retailers, says re-regulation would not solve unaffordable pricing and blamed price increases on national energy policy uncertainty, government interference and the resulting closure of old, large power stations. Energy Minister Lily D’Ambrosio says the review provides a “plan of action” for the government.

Police body cam laws before Vic Parliament

olice will be able to capture potentially crucial video evidence on bodyworn cameras without fear of breaking the law themselves under new legislation due in Victoria’s parliament. The use of body-worn camera footage could currently constitute a surveillance offence if police were to “inadvertently record

a private conversation”, the government said. Legislation to be introduced on Tuesday will ensure police are not in breach of the current Surveillance Devices Act, Attorney General Martin Pakula said. “There will be further legislation later in the year which goes to family violence in terms of being able to give direct evidence

via body-worn cameras, but that is still under development,” Mr Pakula told reporters in Melbourne on Tuesday. “The Royal Commission into Family Violence recommended that there be a trial of bodyworn cameras by police ... this legislation is the first step in making that a reality.” The cameras will not only

provide potential evidence but will also hold police to account, the government added. Further legislation is expected to allow the footage to be tendered in court as evidence. The final design of the cameras and the scope of their use is still yet to be fully decided but a trial is expected to begin in early 2018.

New ring to change Apple touts how phones are used iPhone camera

ring that allows phone users to use their device through a finger is to hit the market early next year. The Orii ring allows people to handle calls, text messages and interact with a phone’s digital assistant by putting a finger to their ear all by transferring sound to a through bone conduction. The ring, designed by Hong Kong-based start-up Origami Labs, was inspired by Peter Wong, the visually impaired father of the firm’s co-founder Kevin Wong. “As a visual-impaired person, I rely on the software on the smartphone to read the icons, the texts to me,” said Peter Wong, who is a technical adviser for the ring. A key feature ensures that only the user can hear the

Mary Evans Picture Library

information conveyed by the ring. “Can you imagine it reading out your password? That’s inconvenient and inappropriate,” Peter Wong said. What began as a Kickstarter project has become the latest example of wearable, screen-free technology. “We want to keep our heads up, we want to be able to stay more in the moment,” said Kevin Wong, 29, who set up Origami Labs in November 2015 with three friends from university. The tech wearable market grew 51 per cent in Asia last year, according to consumer research firm GfK. The overall industry is expected to be worth $US34 billion globally by 2020, research provider CCS Insight has said. The Orii ring is expected to reach the commercial market by February.

on Instagram

pple is on Insta now. The US computer maker has officially unveiled its Instagram account, uploading a series of slideshows that celebrate the iPhone’s camera. The photos, which are part of Apple’s Shot on iPhone campaign, have been sourced from other Instagram users. The company recorded interviews with these photographers, and is including snippets of their statements in short video clips as well. It also used Instagram’s Stories feature when it premiered its account on Monday morning. And it is encouraging others to participate by tagging their photos as hashtag ShotoniPhone. Apple has long relied on crowdsourced photos for its Shot on iPhone campaign. However, the use of Instagram is nonetheless remarkable, since the company has traditionally avoided social platforms, especially those controlled by potential competitors. Case in point: For years, Apple had its own Twitter account, but never even bothered to upload a user

photo. The company began to embrace the service ahead of last year’s iPhone announcement, and has since frequently advertised on Twitter. However, Apple still hasn’t sent out any regular tweets that aren’t ads, which is why its tweet count officially remains at zero. As for Instagram, the company plans to continue to update its account with new photos, a spokesperson said.

Million

Driverless

Vehicles By 2035 O

ne million driverless cars will be on Australian roads by 2035 and people could access the vehicles under a Netflix-styled subscription service, according to a report from motoring body NRMA. The six-month study into Australia’s driverless future says car ownership would drop substantially as people leased vehicles on a subscription basis, while driver’s licences would become redundant.

The major beneficiaries would be the young, elderly and disabled, who could be allowed to control driverless cars by the mid-2020s, The Future of Car Ownership report says. “People with epilepsy, narcolepsy, sensory disability, as well as the elderly and the young who are unable to hold a traditional driver’s licence, will be able to use point-to-point transport that meets their needs,” the report says.

First NT community powered by sun

aly River will become the first remote Northern Territory indigenous community to be powered by solar energy, reaching the Labor government’s 50 per cent renewable energy target. The solar and battery storage project nearing completion in the community, also known as Nauiyu, will provide its entire daytime energy needs. The $55 million program, which is jointly funded by the Territory and federal governments, will deliver 10 megawatts of solar energy across 28 remote communities. It will reduce their reliance on diesel fuel by approximately 15 per cent, reaping savings of up to 94 million litres of fuel over the lifetime of the project. Due for completion in September, the Daly River site incorporates a lithium-ion battery, charged by 3,200 solar panels, which will enable the

community’s diesel engines to be turned off. That’ll save 400,000 litres of fuel every year, meaning half as many fuel trucks on the road, Essential Services Minister Gerry McCarthy says. “Once the site is commissioned, the diesel generators will only operate at night, leading to improved local air quality and a cleaner, greener community,” he said. Mr McCarthy says the Daly River project investment will be approximately $6.2 million and will create more jobs and greater power reliability. “As battery costs rapidly reduce over the next few years, we expect solar and battery technology to become more economically viable,” he said. He said it was another step in combating climate change to achieve the goal of 50 per cent renewables by 2030.

BATTERY FRENZY

SPARKS OVERSUPPLY WORRIES

xcitement over the global battery market is fuelling a scramble in Australia to invest in projects to mine minerals essential to the new growth sector. That excitement has been on show recently at the annual Diggers and Dealers mining conference in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, where minerals such as lithium, graphite and cobalt - essential for electric vehicles and batteries being developed by the likes

of Tesla - enjoyed plenty of attention. While a huge potential demand-supply gap is leading to development of large projects based on solid fundamentals, it is also supporting ventures that some worry could lead to headaches down the line. The upbeat sentiment is based on forecasts of a massive shortage of raw materials, based on substantial investments into battery production by Chinese companies and Tesla.

Instead of competing with camera-equipped mobile phones, GoPro now wants to become an extension of the phone, and essentially market it to anyone sharing photos and videos on services like Instagram and elsewhere. “GoPro’s biggest opportunity

may be to serve as an untethered lense to the smartphone,” Woodman said. “Our goal is to seamlessly align a GoPro with a smartphone. Anything you capture with your GoPro automatically ends up on your phone.”The goal of the company was to make the smartphone central to the GoPro experience, said GoPro COO CJ Prober. And Woodman said that the company plans to introduce new products specifically catering to that use in the future.

VIC LEGALISES UBER, PASSES $1 LEVY

FACEBOOK TO TAKE ON NETFLIX, YOUTUBE

acebook is launching a new section dedicated to live and recorded video. It’s a potential threat to Twitter, YouTube, Netflix and other services for watching video. People already watch a lot of videos on Facebook, but mostly when they scroll down their main news feed. Although there has already been a special video section, it mainly showed a random concoction of “suggested” videos. Facebook’s new Watch section builds on this. The idea is to let people find videos and series they like, keep up with them as new episodes air, and interact with other fans in the process. It is available to some US users on Thursday, and more people will get it over time.

DUTCH STUDENTS GROW BIODEGRADABLE CAR

hat’s made of sugar, can carry four people and travel at 80 km per hour? A biodegradable car, whose inventors say could be the next step in environmentally friendly motoring. The lightweight electric car, created by students in the Netherlands, is made of a resin derived from sugar beets and covered with sheets of Dutch-grown flax. “Only the wheels and suspension systems are not yet of bio-based materials,” said Yanic van Riel, one of the developers from the TU/Ecomotive team at the Eindhoven University of Technology. The structure of the car they have called Lina has a similar strengthweight ratio to that of fibreglass and weighs only 310 kg. But the prototype has not yet passed crash tests, because the material “will not bend like metal, but break”, said the team’s leader Noud van de Gevel. Demands to reduce air pollution and tackle climate change have pushed auto companies towards alternative designs, but most are still require a great deal of energy to make. “Energy that is saved while driving the car is now spent during the production phase,” van de Gevel said. The TU/Ecomotive team plans to test drive Lina later this year, once given the green light by the Netherlands Vehicle Authority.

ictoria will impose a $1 levy on all commercial vehicle trips after legalising ride-sharing service Uber. The levy will come into effect next year, replacing licence fees and helping compensate taxi operators. Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan says the reforms create a level playing field for taxis to compete with ride-sharing services and will encourage new operators to enter the market. The bill was passed on Thursday after the government accepted upper house amendments including the halving of a proposed $2 levy. Under the reforms, rideshare drivers will be required

and be accredited, while the the government will buy back licences from taxi drivers wanting to exit the industry. Drivers will receive for $100,000 for a first licence and $50,000 each for up to three additional licences. The government also agreed to remove a $50 million cap for their fairness fund to ensure all eligible applications receive payments. Liberal deputy leader David Hodgett said the government’s levy would hurt vulnerable people who relied on taxis and ridesharing services. Uber in a statement said it was pleased to see the “important reforms” passed “for the benefit of the travelling public, drivers and the industry as a whole”.

They have leaked Game of Thrones scripts, sensitive internal documents such as job offer letters and a month’s worth of emails from a programming executive.

rammy-winning singersongwriter Taylor Swift has testified she was subjected to a “very long” and “intentional” grope by a Colorado disc jockey during a photo session four years ago. Swift, 27, was testifying for the first time before a US District Court jury that is weighing her accusation that David Mueller grabbed her bare buttocks during a pre-concert fan reception in 2013 against Mueller’s assertion that he was falsely accused and consequently fired from his job. Swift, one of the most popular performers in the US music business, spoke forcefully as she described the incident with Mueller. “It was a definite grab ... a very long grab,” she said. “It was intentional. He stayed latched onto my bare ass cheek. “I felt him grab onto my ass cheek under my skirt. He grabbed my ass underneath my skirt.”

TESLA MOGUL MUSK & HEARD PART WAYS

mber Heard says she has broken up with billionaire SpaceX and Tesla mogul Elon Musk. The actress said on Instagram on Wednesday that although she and Musk have ended their romance, they “care deeply for one another and remain close”. Heard said she is going through “difficult,

very human times”. Both Heard and Musk made their relationship public with Instagram posts in April. Heard’s divorce from Johnny Depp was finalised earlier this year. Musk has been married three times, twice to British actress Talulah Riley. He has five sons from another previous marriage.

Taylor Swift

tells court how DJ groped her

THE PHOTOGRAPH

Swift’s lawyers call the image “damning” proof that Mueller inappropriately touched her. Mueller argues it shows him trying to jump into the frame. Entertainment news outlet TMZ obtained and published the photo, which has since been sealed by the court. Swift’s business manager, Jesse Schaudies Jr., said her side did not want the picture in the news. “We did not want copycats and one-uppers abounding. And that happens in our world,” he testified last year. “These people all tend to escalate. I’ve watched what happens with these files and individuals.”

more than a dozen people met with Swift after Mueller left.

THE AFTERMATH

Swift says: “It was not an accident. It was completely intentional, and I have never been so sure of anything in my life.” A member of Swift’s staff called Mueller’s boss at radio station KYGO and asked that the station “take appropriate action.” Swift maintains she was sexually assaulted but was trying to keep the matter discreet and quiet. She says she does not know Mueller and has no incentive to target him or to fabricate a story. Mueller’s boss said the DJ told him during an internal investigation that any contact during the photo op was incidental or accidental.

3D version of Jackson’s

Thriller to debut

he estate of Michael Jackson says a 3D version of the late singer’s iconic Thriller video is set to debut at the Venice Film Festival more than 30 years after its original premiere. The estate says the “latest available technology” was used to convert the 14-minute short film from an original 35mm negative to 3D. Although the film wasn’t re-edited or recut in any way, director John Landis says he was able to “use the 3D creatively” and promises “a rather shocking surprise”. “Michael Jackson’s Thriller” debuted in theatres and on television in 1983. An hourlong documentary detailing the making of the video will also screen at the Venice festival, which runs from August 30 to September 9. Jackson died in 2009 at the age of 50.

aggie Beer first went to Japan 20 years ago, but has returned 10 times since then having fallen in love with the place. Last year, she left her home in the Adelaide countryside to roam the streets of Tokyo, Osaka and the Noto Peninsula to explore Japanese cuisine for a special, one-off show. “Every day was a surprise,” Beer said. “You don’t have to speak the language to have a connection because I’m passionate about food and excited about food and I bounce off other chefs, we recognise it in each other, and that’s such a lovely thing. “I also loved wandering the streets of the Golden Gai (Tokyo), and it was also the first time that I’ve been out of the cities and got to go to the Noto Peninsula, that was really, really special.” Beer is enamoured with the precision and planning that is involved in so much of Japanese food preparation. Aside from that aspect, typical Japanese cuisine, she explains, is very hard to define. “Their philosophy is to have so many different things within a day, many different flavours and textures,” she said. “They use a tremendous

number of vegetables and it’s wonderful to go through the markets and the high-end department stores where the food offer is so fantastic. They have tiny kitchens so they buy something that they can very quickly grill, the Japanese food at home is simple but exquisite.” The chefs she met introduced Beer to some interesting and delicious dishes, though she does have some moments and meals that stood out during her travels. “I have this love of sea urchin and when I was in Osaka and Chef Osamu Ueno gave me the dish that he did with sea urchin I thought ‘Oh my gosh I’ve died and gone to heaven’,” she said. “Chef Hidecki Li, at his little restaurant Shirosaka, he did me a great tribute in taking a chook and doing it in every way and using every little part of it. So it was just fantastic to see him step back and think and use every bit of the bird.” After ten trips, including this extensive exploration of its cuisine, Beer has a few Japanese food staples that she can’t live without. “I love eel, I love any raw fish. I love soba noodles. I love miso, I could have miso every day but that’s a lot of salt,” she said.

riday Night Blues Club at Seaford Hotel has gone from strength to strength in 2017 and continues to bring you the biggest names in Blues every Friday night. In a year where Blues dominated local stages, Seaford Blues fans were treated to free shows from artists like Jimi Hocking, Phil Para, The Detonators, Andy Phillips & The Cadillac Walk and many more. Along with all the usual fan faves, The Seaford welcomes new act on board including Blues Alley, HouseWreckers and the mighty Sammy Owen into the mix each and every Friday night. Blues Alley are a rockin’ three piece Blues trio lead by axe wielding Alex Pavlis on vocals, Jim Fewings on bass and featuring Darren McColl on drums. The boys have a huge history around the Melbourne music scene that goes way back to include bands like No Exit, The Vague Sensations, Russell Morris, Broderick Smith and Cold Snap. Blues alley return to Seaford Hotel with special guest Michelle Johns this Friday August 18. HouseWreckers fronted by Stratocastermaster Darren Trott on lead vocals and lead guitar, and the legendary Greg Trennery on bass guitar, HouseWreckers have built a solid reputation for wowing audiences with their smoking bar room electric blues. Keyboardist Rowan Mumford adds the swirl of his Hammond and the vibe of his Fender Rhodes, with some of Melbourne’s finest drummers, including Paul ‘Spyda’ Marrett, Dale Thomas and Chris Tabone, queuing up to provide the beat. Sammy Owen comes on givin’ lip like your younger brother after a night on the turps. He’s all cheek and twists and a wry smile to keep you fooled. Then launches into some of the best driving blues you’ll hear in yonks. Sammy Owen jumps and jives like a young George Thorogood, he shreds, his lyrics tease, and soon you’ll be yellin’ for more. That’s exactly what to expect when Sammy Owen Blues Band hits Friday Night Blues Club on September 15. Friday Night Blues Club each and every week at Seaford Hotel, Seaford Rd in Seaford.

Scientists ID spiny prehistoric Sea worm

ong before dinosaurs roamed the Earth, a bizarre creature with a Venus flytrap-like head swam the seas. Scientists have uncovered fossils of a tiny, faceless prehistoric sea worm with 50 spines jutting out of its head. When some unsuspecting critter came too close, its jawlike spines snapped together and dinner was served. The discovery, reported in the journal Current Biology, offers a glimpse into the Cambrian explosion of life on Earth about 541 million years ago. The new creature, Capinatator praetermissus, is so different scientists say the fossils represent not only a new species but a new genus - a larger grouping of life - as well. It was only 10cm long and its spines were about 8mm. It feasted on plankton and smaller shrimp-like creatures. It is an ancestor of a group

of marine arrow worms called chaetognatha that are abundant in the world’s oceans. The prehistoric version was larger and with far more spines in its facial armoury but without the specialised teeth of its descendants, said Derek Briggs of Yale University, who led a team that discovered the trove of fossils in two national parks in British Columbia, Canada. “The spines are like miniature hooks, although more gently curved. They were stiff rather than flexible,” Briggs said in an email. “It’s hard to say why there are so many spines in the fossil example but presumably thus armed it was a successful predator.” Capinatator - whose name translates to grasping swimmer - lived 500 million years ago at a time when creatures started getting bigger and more diverse.

FISHERMEN KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS BY WHALE

whale has slammed a charter boat full of tourists into the air in the Whitsundays, knocking two unconscious and leaving others with broken bones. The five tourists and three crew were on board the A-One Fishing Charters boat when it was struck off the coast of Bowen recently. Captain Oliver Galea suffered a deep head laceration, while several others suffered broken bones when they were rescued by the RACQ Helicopter. Mr Galea, 44, told AAP one person suffered a fractured cheek bone, while another had two broken ribs and a third man’s nose was broken. Mr Galea was taken to Proserpine Hospital where he received eight stitches and shared a photo on Facebook of

the gaping cut he received after slamming into the hand rail. He said in “a split second” everyone was on the ground and no one knew the cause of the impact until they saw the whale moving away. “There was no sign of it. It was a very rare, freak accident,” he said. Whales often come near the boats, but are easily spotted from their blow-hole and tend to stay away from the engine noises, he said. The collision left a dent in the boat and knocked out one of the engines. Despite being an out-of-theordinary tourist experience, Mr Galea said everyone is okay. We all caught up on Sunday night and we have made good friends from the experience. We are all glad we made it,” he said.

Cat strikes out Aussie pitcher in St Louis T

he cat was grey, not black, but it was still bad luck for the Kansas City Royals’ Australian pitcher Peter Moylan. The Royals were up 5-4 in the sixth inning against Major League Baseball rivals the St Louis Cardinals on Wednesday with Moylan on the mound. The Australian was feeling good and needed just one more out to end the inning when the small, fluffy cat appeared out of the blue and ran across St Louis’ Busch Stadium. The crowd cheered. A groundsman ran on, chased after the cat, grabbed it and then suffered as the feline scratched and bit him. The crowd cheered each time the grounds man grimaced in pain. The players laughed. After the two-minute intrusion Cardinals’ batter Yadier Molina stepped up to the plate, the bases

“I’M NOT A CAT PERSON BUT I SURE LIKED THAT ONE” A member of the Busch Stadium grounds crew removes a cat that ran onto the field during the sixth inning of a baseball game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Kansas City Royals

were loaded and Moylan threw a pitch that was supposed to be low and move away from Molina. Instead it sat up in Molina’s hitting zone. He smashed it into the left field seats for a grand slam home run in a game-changing play that led to the Cardinals’ 8-5 victory. “I’m not a cat person but I sure liked that one,” Cardinals manager Mike Matheny told reporters. Moylan, a 38-year-old from Western Australia who has also had stints at the Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves, was not so complimentary about the intrusive cat. “I thought it must have been something with the scoreboard,” Moylan said. “I turned around and there’s a kitten running around, which is the first time that’s happened to me.”

BMW’s Incredible Hybrid Sportscar B

MW Group Australia is proud to announce local allocations and pricing for the latest in the BMW i8 ‘Protonic’ series. With just five examples of the i8 Protonic Frozen Black Edition, and a solitary i8 Protonic Frozen Yellow Edition, fans of the unique hybrid BMW sportscar have the opportunity to acquire the ultimate in exclusivity. “The BMW i8 has long been the proof of our commitment to a greener future, without compromising on performance,” said BMW Group Australia CEO, Marc Werner. “Now the latest Protonic Frozen Black and Frozen Yellow Editions provide additional collector appeal, with a focus on

high luxury and exclusivity,” he said. Highlighted by a choice of matte Frozen Black or Frozen Yellow BMW Individual paint finishes with Frozen Grey metallic accents, the latest i8 Protonic Editions offer an unrivalled sense of occasion. Both variants ride on mattefinish 20-inch BMW i light alloy wheels with distinctive W-spoke styling. The BMW i8 was conceived as a plug-in-hybrid sports car from the start, designed to offer strong performance, agile handling and outstanding efficiency. This concept starts from within. Made of carbon fibrereinforced plastic, the i8’s passenger cell offers safety and rigidity while staying true to the

vehicle’s light weight philosophy. BMW’s advanced eDrive system highlights the i8’s sustainable performance focus. An efficient yet powerful 1.5-litre turbocharged threecylinder petrol engine produces 170kW of power and 320Nm of torque. The combustion engine works with a 96kW/250Nm synchronous electric motor that drives the front axle. Combined power and torque outputs are 266kW/570Nm, yet fuel consumption is only 2.1L/100 on the combined cycle. Supported by a 7.1kWh (5kWh useable) lithium-ion battery pack, the electric motor’s output can be used to power the vehicle for up to 31km on pure electric power, at speeds of up to 120km/h.

also provides a boost function that enables the all-wheel drive BMW i8 to accelerate to 100km/h from rest in just 4.4 seconds. Situated low in a central position, the BMW i8’s battery pack is mounted to enable a very low centre of gravity. At 460mm from the ground, the centre of gravity is the lowest among current BMW Group models and ensures near 50:50 weight distribution. The BMW i8’s battery pack can be recharged via a conventional household power socket, or at a public charging station. Owners also have the option of installing a BMW i Wallbox at their home or office, offering maximum convenience. BMW i8 pricing* $303,300

Bolt, who admitted it had been a terrible end of a “stressful” championship after also losing his 100m crown, said he had felt consoled on Sunday when someone told him “Muhammad Ali lost his last fight too - so don’t be too stressed about it”. Already looking to the future, Bolt’s said his management is talking to IAAF President Sebastian Coe about what he might be able to do for the sport in an ambassadorial capacity. He also revealed that his coach Glen Mills, the sage of Jamaican athletics, wanted him to become his coaching assistant. It was a wonderful night of celebration for athletics’ greatest entertainer with Bolt honoured one last time at the stadium where he achieved the second of his three Olympic sprint doubles. Coe and the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, presented him with a piece of the 2012 track before he embarked on his celebration lap, slowly soaking up all the non-stop cheers from the 56,000 full house - all to a Bob Marley soundtrack. He went over to the 200m and 100m start lines, knelt down and crossed himself. “I was saying goodbye to my fans but to my events also,” he said, admitting he had been close to tears. And after taking rather longer than the 9.63 seconds it took him to win the 100m crown here in 2012, he eventually stopped at the finish line and gave everyone his trademark lightning bolt impression. Before he had set off on the lap, he had told the crowd he just wanted to entertain and put on a show. He did just that before getting a round of applause in the press room from “some of you guys who wrote bad things about me”.

He was also adamant that he would “preach” to youngsters about avoiding performanceenhancing drugs. “The sport hit rock bottom last year and the year before and now we’re on the way back up,” he said. And his immediate aims? In typical Bolt fashion, he smiled and declared: “The first thing I’m going to do is have some fun. Have a party and have a drink. I need to chill.”

A LOOK AT USAIN BOLT’S ATHLETICS CAREER IN NUMBERS 9.58 - Bolt’s 100m world record, set at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin. 19.19 - His 200m world record from the same Championships. 27.79 - Bolt’s fastest recorded speed (mph) on the track. It was measured from his time of 1.61 seconds for the 60-to80m split in his record 100m run in Berlin. 8 - Olympic gold medals on Bolt’s record. He lost another from the 4x100m relay at Beijing 2008 when teammate Nesta Carter failed a retrospective drugs test. 7.4million - Followers on Instagram. 11 - World titles. 4 - Times Bolt has been named Laureus World Sportsman of the Year. 6 - IAAF Male Athlete of the Year awards. 41 - Strides typically needed for Bolt to cover 100m. 45 - Number of races in his winning run, stretching back to 2013, which was ended in the semi-final in London by eventual silver-medallist Christian Coleman.

SIMMONS TO MAKE NBA DEBUT IN WASHINGTON

en Simmons will be thrust into the NBA limelight on night two of the upcoming season, with the Australian to make his Philadelphia debut in Washington against the Wizards. The 76ers will kick off their campaign on October 18, with the 2016 No.1 draft pick set to make his belated NBA debut after injury ruined his first year in the league. Simmons and the 76ers have also been slated to play one of the NBA’s marquee Christmas Day games - against New York at Madison Square Garden - their first appearance as part of the holiday extravaganza since 2001. The 213cm-Simmons is among the favourites to win the NBA’s

rookie of the year - along with new teammate and 2017 No.1 pick Markelle Fultz. The highly anticipated debuts of Chris Paul with the Houston Rockets and Gordon Hayward with the Boston Celtics highlight the opening night of the regular season on October 17. Paul and the Rockets will visit the Golden State Warriors as the second part of a double-header. Paul, a nine-time All-Star point guard, spent the past six seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers, while the Warriors will be receiving NBA championship rings for the second time in the past three seasons. In the opener, Hayward and the Celtics will visit the Cleveland

Cavaliers in a rematch of last season’s Eastern Conference finals. Hayward joined Boston as a free agent during the summer after seven seasons with the Utah Jazz, including making his first AllStar appearance last season. Cleveland once again will have LeBron James on the floor but the status of guard Kyrie Irving remains unclear after he asked to be traded. The remainder of the NBA schedule will be announced next week.

ALL BLACKS’ RUSH WARNING FOR WALLABIES

he All Blacks have warned they’re ready to counter if the Wallabies attempt to replicate the British and Irish Lions’ suffocating rush defence in Saturday’s Bledisloe Cup series opener. The Lions used rush defence to great effect to largely stifle the potent All Blacks backline, ultimately claiming a draw with the world champions in their recent three-Test series in New Zealand. It provided an obvious template

for Michael Cheika’s underdog Wallabies, with the coach already signalling his team’s ambition to pressure the All Blacks wherever possible in pursuit of a boilover at ANZ Stadium. But rush defence comes with risk and the rebuilding Wallabies could leave gaps to be exploited if not consistently accurate, allowing their bid to lift the Bledisloe Cup for the first time since 2002 to unravel at the first hurdle.

THOMAS JOINS MATE SPIETH AS MAJOR CHAMPION

hree weeks after celebrating close friend Jordan Spieth’s British Open triumph, Justin Thomas is enjoying his turn to bask in golf major championship glory. World No.14 Thomas took another big stride down the same path as three-time major champion Spieth with a two-stroke victory in the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow in North Carolina on Sunday. So often compared to childhood friend and fellow 24-year-old Spieth, Thomas stepped from his shadow by winning back-to-back on the US PGA Tour’s Hawaii swing in January, including carding a 59 at the Sony Open where he earned his fourth tour title. And Spieth was again among the first to congratulate him when he joined him with major

champion status. “Thomas admitted Spieth’s meteoric rise had provided plenty of motivation for his latest breakthrough. “Jealousy,” said Thomas. “There’s no reason to hide it. I was jealous that Sergio won (the Masters); that Brooks (Koepka) won (the US Open); that Jordan won (British Open). I wanted to be doing that, and I wasn’t.” Winning the PGA Championship’s Wanamaker Trophy was especially significant for Thomas because his father is a PGA member and club pro as was his grandfather. Thomas started the final round at Quail Hollow two shots off the pace but stormed home with a three-under par 68 for an eight-under total of 276. Francesco Molinari (67), American Patrick Reed

MCGREGOR PLANS TO RULE THE FIGHT GAME M

ixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor says he has become “the face of the fight game” ahead of his multi-million dollar boxing match against Floyd Mayweather later this month. The 29-year-old Irishman, who has never boxed professionally, told reporters at the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas on Friday that his sole concern was getting the win. UFC lightweight champion McGregor is due to face the 40year old Mayweather, who retied in 2015 with an unblemished 49-0, on August 26 in a 12-round super welterweight boxing bout. “I am the face of the fight game, period. And I’ll rule over both (boxing and MMA) with an iron fist -- an iron left fist,” he told reporters. The fight against ‘Money’ Mayweather will shoot the brash Irishman into the financial stratosphere, but McGregor said he was not worried about the pay day.

“The word (money) isn’t even in my vocabulary,” he said. “I’m preparing to win, and to win in devastating fashion. “I don’t care about money. As long as I make my correct decisions and don’t make stupid decisions, I’m set for life.” Wearing a robe made for him by fashion designer Donatella Versace, McGregor said he felt in “pristine condition”. “This is a fight that has been in my crosshairs since Floyd’s been opening his mouth, simple as that,” McGregor said. Both fighters have said that the contest at the T-Mobile Arena will not go the full 12 rounds. Mayweather told the media at his workout on Thursday that the fight going the distance would represent a victory for his 29-year-old opponent. “You know what I heard him say yesterday? Nothing,” McGregor scoffed

when asked about the statement. “I saw a man scared, that’s what I saw, I saw a lacklustre workout, I saw a man trying to talk himself out of it. That’s what I saw.” After a flurry of punches to finish his workout, McGregor still had one more parting shot for boxing fans who he says are bored with their sport. “I just want to say to all of boxing -- it’s OK to love me as much as I love me. It’s OK. Let it go,” a beaming McGregor said.

(67) and 2010 British Open winner Louis Oosthuizen (70) were joint runners-up. World No.3 Hideki Matsuyama missed out on his chance to become Japan’s first male major winner, slumping to a 72 to share fifth place with Rickie Fowler (67). Australia’s Jason Day clawed back from his thirdround collapse, firing a 70 to finish one-under in a tie for ninth - the best finish of the Australians. The 2015 US PGA Championship winner, Day effectively shot himself out of the tournament during Saturday’s third round with a quadruple-bogey at the par-4 18th hole leading to a nightmare 77. Marc Leishman signed off with a 67 to share 13th at even-par, while Adam Scott’s 71 left him at eight-over and tied for 61st.

SWANS’ KENNEDY COULD PLAY IN BIG AFL CLASH

ydney captain Josh Kennedy is on the verge of returning, meaning a massive boost for their midfield in the AFL blockbuster against Adelaide. The injury news is also good for young defender Nic Newman, who suffered a hyperextended right knee in Saturday’s 104-point

demolition of Fremantle. Provided they prove their fitness at Wednesday training, Kennedy and Newman will play in Friday night’s big clash at Adelaide Oval. Kennedy has missed the Swans’ wins over Geelong and Fremantle because of a hamstring problem. “We expect him to train on

Wednesday and obviously if he gets through that, he’ll be playing on Friday, which is good news,” coach John Longmire said of his captain. The Swans coach added that Newman’s knee was a lot better than what they thought immediately after Saturday’s match.

Giants’ Greene cops fine for Bulldog blow

reater Western Sydney’s Toby Greene has escaped with a fine for the unusual incident that left Western Bulldogs star Luke Dahlhaus nursing a split lip. Greene was reported for rough conduct during Friday night’s win over the Bulldogs after he caught Dahlhaus in the face with his right boot in a marking contest. However, the AFL’s match review panel amended the charge to engaging in misconduct, which allowed them

to slap Greene with a $2500 fine that will drop to $1500 with an early plea. The controversial Giant had been facing the prospect of his third suspension for the season, but instead received his third fine. GWS coach Leon Cameron launched an impassioned defence of his controversial player after the 48-point win, stating he had eyes only for the ball and that contact was incidental.

LIONS ROARING DESPITE RUNNING LAST IN AFL

he young Lions are roaring in what are normally the dog days of August for a club at the bottom of the AFL ladder. Far from wanting the end of the season to come, Brisbane star Dayne Zorko says they wish they had more than two games to play. Chris Fagan has impressed in his first season as Brisbane coach and his foundation work is paying big dividends. Since the bye, the Lions have won four games - better than five other teams. They had a massive upset win over Essendon at Etihad Stadium, a performance that has come back to haunt the Bombers as they now sit outside the top eight. The Lions belted Gold Coast at home last Saturday and they present a tricky assignment for Melbourne this Sunday at the MCG.

WEST COAST CAN’T JUST RELY ON JK: SHUEY

tar West Coast midfielder Luke Shuey says his side need to be careful they don’t become over-reliant on Coleman medal leader Josh Kennedy. Kennedy has starred since returning from an Achilles/calf injury, booting 26 goals in his past five AFL matches. The 29-year-old has been able to achieve this despite the club’s midfield struggling to generate enough forward-50m entries. Kennedy’s heroics are a big reason why West Coast are still in the finals hunt. Shuey said Kennedy’s hot form has been a huge plus for the side, but players have to be careful not to always seek out the star forward. “He’s got a bit of a presence about him, which sometimes hurts us I think,” Shuey said. “Sometimes we’re a little bit too ‘JK’ conscious, but there could be worse blokes to be conscious about.
