Their joint caption reads: “After a wonderful 10 months together we have decided to go our separate [sic] ways. There has always been a lot of love in our relationship and there will continue to be as we transition into a friendship.
“We have nothing but love and respect for one another, and no one is to blame for the end of this relationship. Simply a case of ‘almost perfect’. We hope you all can please show compassion as we navigate this privately. Love, Liv & Jack xx.”

A few months ago, there were reports with video footage seemingly showing Jackson cheating on Olivia by kissing another woman. Olivia thanked fans for their support of her, and stated that she was “so heartbroken and embarrassed, [but] OK”.
At the same time, Jackson stated that the negative comments following his appearance on the show had led him down a self-destructive path, and he was trying to find better coping mechanisms.
“All the negativity we’ve been getting from the show, the way I’ve kind of been dealing with it is to get blackout drunk, which don’t get me wrong isn’t an excuse and that’s not acceptable,” he said .

“It has been shit, but you know I’ve been very lucky to have Liv by my side and she’s been nothing but an angel throughout it all.”

Essendon skipper Dyson Heppell has spoken to the Gold Coast Suns about a potential move, but the Suns are yet to table a mooted four-year offer that would involve two years of coaching.
Heppell, 30 and in his 12th season with the Bombers, has a one-year offer on the table from Essendon, who want to retain their captain of the past six years.
The Suns recognize that, if they wanted to land Heppell, it would require a contract offer that involves two years with a further two years in coaching – the kind of arrangement that saw Sam Mitchell and Luke Hodge leave the Hawks to join West Coast and the Brisbane Lions respectively, although Hodge ultimately opted out of the coaching path.
Industry sources have confirmed that, despite a conversation with Heppell and his management, the Suns are yet to table the offer that I know would be necessary for the skipper to seriously consider ending his playing days in another state.
Gold Coast have had a tight salary cap, but some space would open up if highly talented forward Izak Rankine took up what is said to be a massive offer from the Adelaide Crows. The Suns are now much less confident of retaining Rankine, who is from South Australia, given that they cannot match the kind of financial terms on offer from Adelaide.
Heppell is an unrestricted free agent and could simply cross to another club without a trade if he had an attractive offer.
Sources familiar with the Heppell scenario said the Bombers had a strong desire to retain the veteran, who has been a skipper since 2017 and is a popular figure with teammates, officials and fans. He has provided stability for a team that otherwise had lacked for strong leadership within the playing group.
The success of Hodge’s stint with the Lions has promoted other clubs to consider recruiting decorated and respected senior players for twilight stints in which the veteran mentors younger teammates, improves the cachet of their new club and effectively acts as a coach on the field.
North Melbourne are in the market for a player who could fulfill a Hodge-at-Brisbane style role, as the Kangaroos seek to improve their leadership and development of a young list that has relatively few senior players.
Heppell, who made All-Australian and took the best and fairest club in 2014, has had a solid season at half-back this year, averaging 22 disposals and 313 meters gained. He has finished top three in the best and fairest at Essendon six times.
Rail Tram and Bus Union state secretary Alex Claassens said the union leadership was prepared to meet management on Thursday to talk about ways to ensure trains could operate during a planned six-hour stoppage in Sydney’s south-west on August 17.
The union leadership is also due to meet Transport Minister David Elliott and Employee Relations Minister Damien Tudehope late on Thursday.

Claassens cast doubt on the chance of a breakthrough at the talks, saying they had “gone backwards” every time they had met with Tudehope, and he reiterated the union’s call for Premier Dominic Perrottet to intervene to resolve the dispute.
Tudehope hit back by accusing the union of a “campaign of misinformation” and called on Claassens to engage with the government so that a new enterprise agreement could be put to a vote of the union’s members.
“It’s about time that members had a look at the quality of their leadership because we want to put money in the pockets of ordinary members of the rail union, and it is this leadership that is standing in their way,” he said.
While the workers’ stoppage ended at 4pm on Wednesday, Sydney Trains advised commuters to allow plenty of extra time while train services gradually return to normal. The timetable was expected to be fully operational by about 8pm.

Unless a deal between the government and the unions can be reached, commuters face major disruptions on the T3 Bankstown, T8 Airport and South, and the Southern Highlands lines on August 17 when another six-hour stoppage by workers is due to occur.
The following week – on August 23 – stoppages will disrupt the T1 North Shore and Western and the T9 Northern lines, as well as both the Blue Mountains and the Central Coast and Newcastle lines.
It will be followed on August 25 by stoppages on the City Circle line, and culminate in a refusal by rail workers to operate foreign-built trains on August 31. Foreign-built trains make up about three-quarters of the state’s rail fleet.

The resumption of major protected industrial action on Wednesday follows weeks of disruption to the rail network in June and early last month.
The NSW government suffered an embarrassing defeat early last month in its efforts to stop unions from taking industrial action across Sydney’s rail network.
On July 9, the Fair Work Commission dismissed the government’s bid to suspend industrial action for 10 weeks, rejecting “inexplicable” claims that it was harming the state’s economy.

Rep. Scott Perry says his cellphone was seized by FBI
Updated: 6:41 AM EDT Aug 10, 2022
Susquehanna Valley Congressman Scott Perry (R-10) told Fox News that the FBI seized his cellphone Tuesday. Perry said in a statement provided only to the network that he was approached by FBI agents who handed him a warrant and asked for the phone.” This morning, while traveling with my family, 3 FBI agents visited me and seized my cell phone. They made no attempt to contact my lawyer, who would have made arrangements for them to have my phone if that was their wish,” Perry said in the statement. “I’m outraged — though not surprised — that the FBI under the direction of Merrick Garland’s DOJ, would seize the phone of a sitting Member of Congress. My phone contains info about my legislative and political activities, and personal/private discussions with my wife, family, constituents, and friends. None of this is the government’s business.”The confiscation of the cellphone came the day after the FBI searched former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.Perry went on to say that, “as with President Trump last night, DOJ chose this unnecessary and aggressive action instead of simply contacting my attorneys. These kinds of banana republic tactics should concern every Citizen — especially considering the decision before Congress this week to hire 87,000 new IRS agents to further persecute law-abiding Citizens.”WGAL has reached out to Perry’s office for confirmation or comment, but we have yet to hear back.Perry has been mentioned during hearings about the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol. It has been alleged that he has sought a presidential pardon, which he has denied. According to testimony, Perry also urged Trump to continue fighting election results.

Alongside the Bar Broadway, Young Hotels owns the Illinois Hotel in Five Dock, the Five Dock Hotel, the Royal Hotel Top Ryde, the Concord Hotel in Concord West and the Mortlake Hotel. The Young family also owns the Wisemans Ferry Inn on the Hawkesbury.
“We’re very excited about taking on the challenge of running the Bar Broadway. There’s a lot of development going on in the area,” Mr Young told The Australian Financial Review.
Asked about the current appetite for pubs, Mr Young said astute operators were adding value to their portfolios.
“When good assets came up for sale, they are willing to pay a price for them,”
The acquisition of the Chippendale hotel follows Young Hotels selling the Friend in Hand Hotel in Glebe in the inner west for $11 million to Momento Hospitality Group in May.
“My mum and dad had that hotel in Glebe a long time ago,” Mr Young said.
The Bar Broadway sold with a 24-hour hotel license, 28 pokies, a bar and two levels with 36 accommodation beds. There is the opportunity to develop two additional upper floors of accommodation.
It was the first time in nearly two decades that both the freehold and leasehold interests of the hotel had been stapled together and offered as one investment.
The freehold was offered by Jenni Halpin, who had previously jointly owned it with her late husband Robert, who passed away in 2006. The leasehold was held by publican Justin Aitken’s Kasajumi Holdings.
JLL’s John Musca and Ben McDonald and Knight Frank’s Mike Wheatley brokered the sale on behalf of the long-term vendors, who are both exiting the industry to retire and pursue other commercial interests.
Mr McDonald highlighted the unparalleled location of the asset as being the key driver of interest in the campaign.
The Tech Central Precinct is set to house 250,000 sq m of new office space, whilst the NSW government is spending close to $1 billion on upgrading Central Station.
Today’s the day: Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2022 is set to kick off later today – August 10 – at 9am ET / 6am PT / 2pm BST / 11pm AEST. That’s just a few hours away at the time of writing.
If you have any interest in foldable phones, smartwatches or earbuds then you’ll want to follow along. We expect to see the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5, the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, and the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro all make an appearance.
It’s set to be a jam-packed launch, and TechRadar will (as ever) cover it in full, so head back to the site during or after the event for all of the announcements, along with our analysis and impressions.
In fact, we’ve already got a Samsung Unpacked live blog up and running, which you can follow along with now and during the launch. But if you’d like to tune into the event itself you can do that rather easily indeed, as Samsung is providing a live stream from multiple sources.
How to watch Samsung Galaxy Unpacked live
While many device makers will stream their launches on YouTube, and perhaps their own site, Samsung has gone beyond that.
The company is allowing viewers to watch Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2022 on YouTube (opens in new tab)the official Samsung site (opens in new tab)Samsung’s US Newsroom (opens in new tab)and by the looks of things on Twitter (opens in new tab) too. You’ll even be able to watch it in the metaverse, at Samsung 837X (opens in new tab).
The YouTube video can also be seen above, so you don’t even need to leave this page to watch it. Some of the links above also allow you to set reminders, so you’ll get an alert before the event starts.
However you choose to experience the launch, it’s worth learning about these devices, as leaks suggest we could be in for some big upgrades. For example, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro might have over three days of battery life, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 could have a slot for the S Pen stylus, and the Galaxy Z Flip 4 might combine cutting-edge power with an affordable price.
So these could be more than just iterative updates – they might instead be among the very best phones and best smartwatches of the year.

Luxury means different things to different people, but in restaurant circles it’s usually high-status items such as caviar, lobster and truffles that earn the tag.
I’m not so sure. Sometimes, it’s about the give of a cushioned banquette, the patina of the table, the weight of a linen napkin on your knee, the tinkle of glass on the martini trolley. The way a considered environment can add to your sense of wellbeing.
At Luke’s Kitchen, a casual name for quite an opulent restaurant that runs alongside the splendid art deco lobby of the Kimpton Margot hotel, the tables for four and six are luxuriously spacious, and the lighting could give a masterclass in setting a mood while still allowing you to read a menu.

Plus, you can order 30 grams of oscietra caviar with sour cream and potato gaufrette for $250. Champagne? Call for the champagne cart. Ditto, the caviar and vodka trolley. If you want to shave truffles all over your food, just add $20 to your bill for every five grams.
Luke Mangan has done it all, from cookbooks to cruise restaurants and airlines, but he’s always created environments in which to have a good time. Now, it’s a grand 1930s hotel restaurant, pitched for business lunches and glitzy dinners, with bottomless brunches on Saturdays.
His talents – and those of head chef and long-time collaborator MJ Olguera, who started with Mangan at Bistro Lulu in Paddington in 2004, seem well-suited to the grand hotel life.

Here, the luxuries are played on shuffle across the broad menu with Mangan’s own modern Australian hits. Skull Island prawns with nam jim and coconut mix it with Peking duck pancakes with hoisin sauce, spiced lamb rump, and Riverina grass-fed rib-eye for two to share.
The garlic bread ($8) is kerfuffle-worthy, being not “garlic bread” but a laminated cronut of caramelized onion jam, curry-spiced garlic butter and Heidi gruyere cheese; sweet, savory, crisp, soft. For a moment, I wonder what it would be like with 20 grams of truffle shaved on top, but the madness quickly passes.
Prawn toast ($18) is difficult to resist, the bread golden and crisp, the sweet prawn mousse jade-green with herbs, a little corn salsa on top for freshness.

It’s Mangan, so there are classics harking back to his days as an eager commis in the kitchen of England’s three Michelin-starred Waterside Inn. Proper food, a bit Frenchy. A pork terrine ($29) is gutsy and satisfying, melting pig’s head, neck and belly into a smooth unit, ready to smash onto grill-marked sourdough.
Olguera teams a lacquered duck for two ($180) with crunchy little salt-and-pepper rice cakes and a coconut curry sauce; a nice move. Roast spatchcock ($41) is jointed and sent out with a citrusy salad of fennel, currants and mandarin on a puddle of fennel puree. I feel I’ve had this before, years ago; yet it’s right for now.
The comfort-food drum beats strongest with slow-cooked beef cheeks in a rich red wine sauce ($46), laced with chickpeas and bolstered by Mangan’s pillowy, creamy pomme puree. A spicy, fleshy 2020 Bondar Junto GSM from McLaren Vale ($83) virtually jumps straight in.

Dessert can go luxe – rum baba – but a pretty little meringue roulade ($21) balanced with rich lemon curd is a hit. More so, for me, than the enduring licorice parfait that has been the chef’s signature since 1995. Nice, but I think we can all move on now.
Overall, it’s the mix of old-school glamor and the free-flowing, no-rules approach to hospitality that makes Luke’s Kitchen of interest; a fresh but familiar face in a part of the city that’s getting more and more attention.
It’s not so much the tableside trolleys and truffles that deliver the luxury, although they do add energy and a bit of fun. It’s more about the craft and the comfort that keeps their little wheels turning; that’s the real luxury here.

Terry Durack is chief restaurant critic for The Sydney Morning Herald and senior reviewer for the Good FoodGuide.
At a time when wins and losses are paramount and increased only further for those in finals contention, South Sydney’s rookie playmaker Lachlan Ilias has been handed a newfound perspective.
While his full attention no doubt lies with the Rabbitohs’ finals ambitions, the young halfback is also on the verge of having his first taste of international football in November when he plays halfback for Greece at the Rugby League World Cup.
And when the young playmaker pulls on the blue and white jersey for the first time, it will be a fitting tribute to his late grandfather who recently passed away.
“Playing for Greece will be one of my greatest football moments yet I think,” Ilias told NRL.com.
“I’m really looking forward to it, especially because my grandfather passed away a few weeks ago and he was born in Greece.”
“He left his family behind in Evia, an island off Greece, at a very young age to come to Australia. He came to the unknown and I’m sure that he would have been really tough.
“He’s the reason why we’re here in Australia so I’m really looking forward to representing him and my family.”
While the Rabbitohs’ Greek heritage is strong, including coach Jason Demetriou and close friend Peter Mamouzelos, the 22-year-old is one of just three current Greek players.
“It’s a bit unique being Greek in the NRL, there’s not many of us. I know there’s a couple of us at the club but there’s not many outside of that,” Ilias said.
“I went to Greece when I was about seven but I’d love to go again. I’d love to go in the summer but I’m playing footy so I can’t really go at the moment.
“It’s an honor being Greek and I’m really looking forward to representing Greece and my ‘papou’ (grandfather) in the World Cup.”
After a tough outing against the Dragons in Round 15 that saw Ilias taken from the field midway through the first half, the young playmaker has bounced back strong — leading his teammates around the park to win four of five since that night.
Chalking up 13 forced dropouts and ten try assists so far in 2022, Ilias said he is ready to handle the heat in the final month of the season.
“I think I did feel too comfortable earlier on in the year and that was taken from me. But something we talk about is not looking too comfortable and using each week as a challenge,” Ilias said.
“The game against the Dragons is probably something that didn’t need to happen but it’s good that it did, it sort of woke me up and now I’m hungrier now than I ever was before,
“I’m still pinching myself, I get to put the seven on each week and come to training with these fellas and just try and get better everyday.”
The Rabbitohs face one of the toughest runs home to the finals – with their four remaining games against top-eight teams – beginning with an opportunity to jump past Parramatta into fifth place if they walk away with a victory on Friday night.
“You’ve got to expect the best from the Eels, they’re a high offload team and they play off the cuff so you’ve got to be prepared for that and that’s what we’re working on at training this week,” he said.
“Obviously we’ve got four big games coming up against good sides in the top eight so we will just try to take it each week at a time and just focus on the two points.”
Sunshine Coast pet owners have been put on high alert following a spate of mysterious dog deaths after visiting local beaches.
The Sunshine Coast Council confirmed to 7NEWS.com.au that it had received reports from a local vet of at least five dogs experiencing symptoms of poisoning after visiting the Point Cartwright and Buddina area.
7NEWS understands all five died as a result. The council expressed its condolences to impacted community members.

The North Coast Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care has since warned residents to “use caution” when walking pets around the areas of Buddina, Minyama, Point Cartwright and La Balsa, which are part of one continuous coastline.
“We, unfortunately, have had a series of patients presenting with alike symptoms that may suggest a toxicity by ingestion,” it said.
“Although we are unable to confirm the cause of these presentations, the link to these patients is the area that they have walked within the 12 hours prior.”

Symptoms include gastrointestinal upsets, breathlessness, lethargy, or any change in the behavior of your pet.
‘Absolutely heartbroken’
One man claimed his six-month-old puppy fell ill after visiting Kawana Beach on Wednesday. On Saturday, she was put down.
“This doesn’t seem like a coincidence, so I’d recommend steering clear for now. Please share around, as I don’t want any other beloved pets to die or anyone else to go through what I have,” he said.
“Absolutely heartbroken.”
Buderim dog day-care centre, Doggie Adventure Playhouse, also shared that one of its dogs, Billy, appeared to have been a victim of poisoning after visiting Buddina on Sunday. He died on Monday morning.
“Our loving thoughts and cuddles go out to Billy’s beautiful and heartbroken parents,” it said.
Silver Lining Pet Rescue Inc said one of her dogs, Sophie, also died over the weekend while on an adoption trial.
“Both Sophie’s now owner and foster mum are devastated at her passing. Please take care until the cause is known, ”she said.

Some locals had expressed concern online that communal drinking bowls might have been contaminated.
Queensland Police told 7NEWS.com.au that it had been “made aware of several instances of alleged dog poisoning in the Sunshine Coast area and are looking into the matter”.
“Anyone with information is being urged to contact police.”
While the exact cause of the poisonings is unclear, a Sunshine Coast Council spokesperson confirmed it was assisting the Queensland Police Service and RSPCA Queensland in the investigation.
“In the meantime, the Council has taken precautionary measures to reduce the risk of animals drinking possibly contaminated water by emptying and sanitizing all dog water bowls in the area,” she said.
“We are also working to remove any loose water bowls and seal any fixed bowls to prevent access.”
The council also encouraged pet owners to keep their dogs in sight at all times while in off-leash areas, ensure their dog is responsive to voice commands before letting them off-leash and contact their vet at the first sign of any symptoms.
IRVINE, Calif. (KABC) — An Irvine dermatologist was caught on a hidden camera pouring drain cleaner into her husband’s cup on at least three separate occasions, court documents allege.
Yue “Emily” Yu, 45, was arrested last week for allegedly poisoning her husband after he provided video evidence to authorities.
Now that evidence has been made public through a restraining order he filed against her.
The order alleges that Yu maintained a verbally and physically abusive relationship toward her husband and their two children.
RELATED: Orange County dermatologist arrested on suspicion of poisoning her husband
The court granted a temporary restraining order and set a hearing for the permanent order on Aug. 18.
The husband, a radiologist, also filed for divorce on the same day he requested the restraining order.
The couple, who married in 2012, have two children, a 7-year-old son and an 8-year-old daughter.
“Both children have suffered physical, verbal and emotional abuse” the documents allege.
Other exceptions from the documents:
“Emily often uses sleep deprivation to punish (the children). When the kids fall asleep without her permission, even if after 11:00 pm, she would wake them up, demand that (they) go to her room, shut the door and make them cry.”
“After the children were born I became concerned about Emily’s behavior. Not only was she very demanding of me that I give her massages – one time when I could not because I was sick she stepped on my head until I did – and also began hiding money from me.”
“When Emily gets frustrated and yells at the children she’ll commonly use a Chinese phrase that translates to “go die!” She also says to the children “your head has a problem” “your head is sick” “go (expletive) yourself” “(expletive) idiot” “stupid (expletive) ” and “get the (expletive) out of my way.”
The poisoning apparently began in March, the husband said. He started noticing a chemical taste in his lemonade from him, which he drinks hot. A doctor diagnosed him with two stomach ulcers, gastritis and esophagitis.
Suspicious of his wife, he installed cameras in their kitchen.
The images submitted to court appear to show Yu taking a bottle of drain cleaner, believed to be Drano, from under the sink and pouring it into a cup. In at least one image, she is seen putting the cup on a table near her husband de ella.
After I reported the incident to Irvine police, Yu was arrested.
Her husband says she called him to post bail, but he refused.
Yu’s defense attorney told ABC News the allegations are false.
