Huge crowd pays tribute to Laeticia Brouwer at Singleton paddle-out

HUNDREDS of people have turned out at Singleton south of Perth, for an emotional beach tribute to teenage shark attack victim Laeticia Brouwer.

The young surfer died on a family trip to Esperance over Easter, when she was attacked by a shark believed to be a great white while surfing at Kelp Beds.

Her devastated father Leon, who rushed to her aid after the attack, mother and two sisters hugged each other and one of Laeticia’s surfboards on the beach, as about 80 surfers paddled out into the waves and formed a ring in her honour.

Laeticia’s uncle Steve Evans recalled a girl who was always surfing or visiting the beach.

“The beach has always been a special place and she loved surfing with her sisters Alyssa and Eden and most of all her dad,” Mr Evans said.

London Marathon: Daniel Wanjiru beats favourite Kenenisa Bekele to win his first title

London Marathon 2017: Daniel Wanjiru beats favourite Kenenisa Bekele to win his first title

Daniel Wanjiru won his first London Marathon title on Sunday after coming home in a time of 2hrs 5mins 48 seconds.

The Kenyan won the race nine seconds ahead of overwhelming favourite for victory, Kenenisa Bekele.

Bekele holds the 5,000 metres and 10,000 metres world records as well as eight Olympic and world titles.

He had been aiming for victory and breaking Dennis Kimetto’s record of 2:02:57 – set in Berlin in 2014 – having asked race organisers for pacemakers to bring him to halfway around 61:30 – on world-record pace.

But Wanjiru did brilliantly to hold off Bekele to take home his first title in London and the biggest victory of his career.

What a porker! Kim Jong-un is all smiles as he visits a pig farm while 2million starve

Kim Jong-un laughed with regime officials as he visited the Thaechon Pig Farm, which is used to supply the country’s air force. The UN believes 2million people in the state are starving.

The daily ration includes just 650g of maize, rice or meat, according to the UN.

Defectors who survived the regime have told of people regularly starving to death, with bodies laid out in the streets.

Park Yeonmi, who fled the country in 2007 under the rule of Kim Jong-il, told The Express this month: ‘Every day I wondered if I was going to stay alive or not.

‘Food was limited as everyone was hungry and people like us, who were in the bottom class, were starving.

‘My mother traded in the market but this was not enough. So we had to find food in the mountains, eating dragonflies and grasshoppers and plants – anything to stay alive.’

Dave Hughes opens Logies with a bang

Dave Hughes opens Logies with a bang

Dave Hughes has opened the 79th Logie Awards with all guns blazing, taking a aim at TV chef George Calombaris for the pay scandal in his restaurants and Channel 7 boss Tim Worner over his affair.

A red faced Colombaris chuckled awkwardly as Logies host Hughes gave him a massive roast.

“He had a little bit of an issue where he underpaid the staff at his magnificent restaurants, $2.6 million,” Hughes said.

“But in his defence, he said he’s a chef, not an accountant. Apparently that’s why he cooked the books.”

Seven chief Worner was also skewered for his affair and legal battle with Seven staffer Amber Harrison.

“Channel 7 were working on a pilot of The Wrong Girl, that was starring their CEO Tim Worner, and that was more a reality show.

“He picked the wrong girl to mess with.”

After introducing Grant Denyer as a Gold Logie nominee, Hughes then went on to talk about another Grant, Olympian Grant Hackett, saying he was a whinger.

“See him on Instagram, put a selfie of himself with a black eye and said, “Look what my brother did,” he said.

“That’s what brothers do, Grant, be a dick and they give you a clip. Look on the bright side, you could be Kim Jong-un’s brother.”

How to turn on ‘Undo Send’ in Gmail so you can take back emails

The feature rolled out to the general public in 2015, and allows people with a Gmail account to set a window of time — either 5, 10, 20 or 30 seconds — during which the sender can quickly retract a decision to fire off any particularly ill-conceived company-wide emails.

The SUPER IMPORTANT PART is that you have to turn the feature on before you send that questionable email. So all of you that just cathartically pounded out “I quit” messages hoping to quickly undo them are out of luck.

Thankfully, turning the feature on is incredibly simple. Log into your Gmail account, click on the gear icon in the upper right-hand corner of the screen, and select Settings. Next, scroll down to the check box labeled “Enable Undo Send” and select it. You can then choose a “send cancellation period” of the aforementioned 5, 10, 20 or 30 seconds.

Lastly, scroll down and click “save changes.” Don’t forget this part.

The next time you scribble off a missive and toss it into the digital void you’ll have the chance to pull it back in all its typo-ridden glory. With Undo Send enabled, you sleep better at night knowing your email has a fail-safe — even if the rest of the world is a terrible mess.

Britain’s 1st nuclear bomb almost blew up Dorking when test device slipped from plane

THE posh market town of Dorking is best known for its architecture and famous breed of chickens. But residents were yesterday facing up to how they had a near miss in one of Britain’s nuclear blunders.

New research has revealed that scientists working on the UK’s first atomic weapon almost dropped a test bomb on the Surrey town after it came loose in a plane.

Thankfully, it ended up in the Thames estuary — where it still lies to this day.

The mistake is revealed in a documentary about the UK’s race to develop a nuclear bomb.

Britain went on to test its first atomic bomb on islands off Western Australia in 1952.

Line of Duty’s Vicky McClure is ordered off HER OWN TRAM after being suspected of fare evasion

She is best known for her role as no-nonsense detective Kate Fleming in police drama Line Of Duty.

But Vicky McClure has revealed how she found herself on the wrong side of the law and was ordered off a tram after being suspected of fare evasion – despite the vehicle being named after her.

The incident happened as McClure and her mother took a ride on the tram at its launch in her home city of Nottingham…

France votes amid high security – 50,000 police/7,000 soldiers are being deployed across the country

Voters are going to the polls in France to choose their next president, amid high security following a deadly attack on Paris police three days ago.

About 50,000 police and 7,000 soldiers are being deployed across the country to secure polling.

Eleven candidates are vying to be the country’s next president, with leading candidates spanning the political spectrum from far-left to far-right.

The two with the most votes will go to a run-off round in a fortnight’s time.

Polling stations in France opened at 08:00 local time (06:00 GMT), although some overseas territories began the voting on Saturday. Voting ends at 20:00, with exit polls expected quickly afterwards.

Live coverage of the French election

Four candidates are currently seen as being within reach of the presidency: the conservative François Fillon, the far-right leader Marine Le Pen, liberal centrist Emmanuel Macron and the far-left’s Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

Defiant Bishop fires back over North Korean nuclear threat

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has hit back at North Korea after the reclusive state warned Australia could be the target of a nuclear weapons strike if it continued to “blindly” follow the United States.

In response to the comments, Ms Bishop said Pyongyang’s threat “underlines the need for the regime to abandon its illegal nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs”.

“These present a grave threat to its neighbours, and if left unchecked, to the broader region including Australia,” she said.

“The North Korean Government should invest in the welfare of its long-suffering citizens, rather than weapons of mass destruction.”

UK General election 2017: UKIP manifesto to pledge a burka ban

The party’s leader Paul Nuttall is also expected to propose a ban on Sharia law in the UK.

A pledge to ban the full-face veils worn by some Muslim women is expected to be included in the UK Independence Party’s general election manifesto.

Party leader Paul Nuttall will launch what he calls an “integration agenda” on Monday.

He will say wearing the burka and niqab in public is a barrier to social harmony, as well as a security risk.

He will also propose outlawing Sharia law – the religious rules that form part of Islamic tradition.

The party’s manifesto is expected to suggest that anyone with evidence of female genital mutilation will be bound by law to inform police.

And it will also call for postal voting to be largely abolished, because of concerns over electoral fraud.

The former UKIP leader, Nigel Farage, proposed a burka ban in 2010.

But the party later dropped the policy, and it did not appear in its 2015 manifesto.

Full-face veils are already banned in public in some European countries, including France.

The hot new trend in food is garbage – literally making products from food waste

There’s been an explosion in the number of start-ups

Flour milled from discarded coffee fruit. Chips made from juice pulp. Vodka distilled from strawberries that nobody seems to want.

At one point not so long ago, such waste-based products were novelties for so-called ethical shoppers. But in the past three years, there’s been an explosion in the number of start-ups making products from food waste, according to a new industry census by the US non-profit coalition ReFED.

The report, which was released on Tuesday and tracks a number of trends across the food-waste diversion industry, found that only 11 such companies existed in 2011. By 2013, that number had doubled, and ReFED now logs 64 established companies selling ugly-fruit jam, stale-bread beer, and other “upcycled” food products.

The companies have diverted hundreds of tonnes of food waste from landfills, a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. They’ve also become a model for larger, multinational food companies, which are starting to realise that upcycling peels and piths can be good business.

That sort of mainstream change could make a big dent in the food-waste problem, ReFED estimates. In a 2016 report, the coalition calculated that “upcycling” efforts could save 92,500 tonnes of food from landfills each year.

Erin Moran remembered by ‘Happy Days’ RICHIE, THE FONZ and others in Hollywood

Following the death Saturday of Erin Moran at age 56, her former co-stars and colleagues took to social media to pay tribute to the iconic “Happy Days” and “Joanie Loves Chachi” actress.

Her death was confirmed by the Harrison County Sheriff’s Department in Indiana, which said in a statement, “On April 22, 2017 at approximately 4:07 p.m., the Harrison County Dispatch received a 911 call that referenced an unresponsive female. Upon the arrival of first responders, it was determined that Erin Marie Moran Fleischmann was deceased and an autopsy is pending.”

Moran was cast in 1974 in the sitcom “Happy Days” as Joanie Cunningham, the younger sister of high school student Richie Cunningham, played by Ron Howard.

“Such sad sad news,” Howard tweeted. “RIP Erin. I’ll always choose to remember you on our show making scenes better, getting laughs and lighting up tv screens.”

Henry Winkler, who played family friend Arthur “The Fonz” Fonzarelli, tweeted, “OH Erin… now you will finally have the peace you wanted so badly here on earth …Rest In It serenely now.. too soon.”

5G wireless is preparing for its big day – Faster than BROADBAND connections?

Ready or not, 5G wireless is preparing for its big day

The hope is to get 5G mobile networks up and running in time, at least, for the winter Olympics in South Korea in February 2018. Japan has its own plans for the technology when it hosts the summer Olympics in July 2020. Expect wireless carriers to start rolling out their 5G networks in earnest shortly thereafter.

The race to launch 5G is reminiscent of the rush to do likewise with Wi-Fi in the 1990s, when equipment makers hurried out interim gear both in order to influence emerging standards (and thus lock in their own particular patents) and to get a foot in the door ready for when the technology took off. Which it duly did. Many believe 5G could be an even bigger change. Hype aside, the technology is more than just a faster, better and more efficient network for mobile phones. It makes many things possible that were previously just pipe dreams.

5G wireless could put some fixed-line internet connections to shame, even at the lower end of its performance range. As such, it could spell the end of wired connections in the street and around the home and workplace. Fibre will still find a role in hauling traffic back from wireless base stations to central offices. But not having to dig up the road to lay “last mile” fibre or coaxial cables for delivering internet access and high-definition television to individual addresses will be a relief for telecoms firms. Beaming such services wirelessly from nearby base stations instead should reduce costs significantly.
