After years of running the store, a single sale of that T-shirt resulted in a US$100,000 default judgment against her for infringing on the trademark of Grumpy Cat late last year. Then Curtis noticed nearly US$600 had been taken from her PayPal account. Grumpy Cat, also known as Tardar Sauce, shot to internet fame in 2012 due to her permanently grumpy facial expressions that were caused by a permanent underbite and feline dwarfism.

In a 2023 Columbia Law Review Forum article, Prof Eric Goldman described the “Schedule A Defendants Scheme” in the northern district of Illinois – where the Grumpy Cat case was filed – targeting online merchants in China, mostly. Goldman said the scheme allowed rights owners “to extract settlements from online merchants without satisfying basic procedural safeguards like serving the complaint and establishing personal jurisdiction over defendants”. Goldberg argued the scheme “goes far beyond just curbing online infringement and instead causes substantial harm to innocent merchants”.

Its popularity convinced them that a city venue was the next step. He grew up on the Amalfi Coast and the interiors are her design. The chef and venue partner is Steven De Vecchi with Chef Giacomo Rilievo, formerly of LuMi Dining We slide into a booth right at the end of a restaurant although many guests head straight to the bar for one of Enzo's cocktails Upstairs is a private dining space and on the wall is an enormous sized Campari print a rare piece from 1921 by Leonetto Cappiello The menu is all Italian from Berkel sliced meats to formaggio plus a raw seafood platter The bar also has an extensive selection of Italian Vermouth Their Negroni XIIII with the $1,000 price tag is billed as not just a cocktail but an experience It is created with Cognac Louis XIII by Rémy Martin and Cinzano 1757 Vermouth (1970 Vintage) served in a baccarat cut crystal glass You do have to preorder it and 3 have been sold since the restaurant opened just a few weeks ago An affordable option to this is the Negroni experience called "Three Shades of Negroni" that we end up sharing white and red to reflect the Italian flag matched with canapes Mancino Sakura Vermouth and Green Chartreuse with a tartare of red prawns with pickle jalapeño The second is "Bianco" with Ilegal Mezcal Joven Galliano float and Bittermens Hopped Grapefruit with taleggio cheese The third is "Rosso" with a 15 year single malt Bittermens Hopped Grapefruit with a garnish of burnt thyme and pink grapefruit with a peaked whisky Lagavulin16 in an atomizer on the side to add smokiness if you so choose This comes with a timbale of wagyu tartare But this could definitely make a Negroni lover out of me especially when it is paired with food The food pairings are a perfect match really enhancing the flavours of the Negronis and I find myself enjoying the distinct flavours of each one The entrees arrive and we start with the seafood mixed crudo with raw seafood like W.A Abrolhos scallops and ginger dressing on the side The ginger dressing makes the raw seafood pop and we really enjoy this sumptuous raw platter fit for a birthday treat It's also surprisingly quite filling with the enormous raw scallops and scampi as well as sweet amaebi prawns you do get a 10g/0.3oz tin of caviar and we finish off with caviar bumps with the Black River Oscietra caviar Our lovely waiter also recommended the Fritto Misto to complement the raw platter for a mix of cold and hot seafood It's a variety of seafood from tiny school prawns tiny fish and calamari with a delicious nduja mayonnaise on the side Make sure to order the house made focaccia that comes out warm with Coratina olive oil and balsamic to make yourself a delicious little sandwich with the fried seafood and nduja mayonnaise We were tossing up whether to get pasta or meat but we decided on pastas The busiate pasta is a spiral pasta shaped like a telephone cord served with a tomato based sauce This is divine and I can see why it is the most popular pasta here The nduja crumb adds an umami intensity and the prawns add texture to this dish while the pasta is perfectly cooked As for Mr NQN he loves the lamb ragu pappardelle with a tomato based sauce The pappardelle is quite thick in texture but the lamb is soft and luscious The bowl of chips is another recommendation from our waiter The serving is generous with plenty of shaved pecorino on top It comes with a truffle oil aioli on the side that truthfully it doesn't really need A must order is the Negroni tiramisu which we share because we are so full The pastry chef Martina Goti created this negroni tiramisu that was designed to honour the bar Pastry chef Ludmila Cittadini describes it as "Composed of a cream mascarpone Negroni and sponge soaked in a coffee syrup and Negroni." The two pastry chefs tested several recipes to get the perfect balance of flavours And while the cream is light it also gives the bitterness of the citrus and cocktail a softer edge to it we head to the bar for a final shot of Rucolino Amaro from Enzo with notes of sweet bitterness and intensity This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page Sydney Sweeney stepped out in Las Vegas with some close friends following her breakup with Jonathan Davino The Euphoria actress hit the scene with Kygo Patrick Schwarzenegger and MGK (Machine Gun Kelly) at the grand opening of the Palm Tree Beach Club in Las Vegas The It Ain't Me producer shared a carousel post of the event featuring photos of moments shared with MGK "Grand opening of @palmtreebeachclub [palm tree emojis]."

tyres up to temperature with both Geyer Valmont Mercedes sandwiching the #888 Audi of Feeney while Peroni’s #268 Audi and the OnlyFans Audi of Gracie were just behind The Mercedes looked best in the second stint as Thomas Randle squeezed the #44 Geyer Valmont Mercedes past Feeney around the outside of turn 2 But the biggest mover in the second stint was Jayden Ojeda in the #66 Realta Tigani Motorsport Mercedes: down in 8th after the pit stops setting lap-record pace on his way to pick off those battling ahead Ojeda rounded up the battle for second and managed to get onto the tail of the two Geyer Valmont Mercedes and when George King began to struggle in the #55 and dropped down to 5th Ojeda was all over the tail of Thomas Randle’s #44 to battle for second with Randle and Zalloua taking a great second place on Zalloua’s debut in the Pro-Am class while Schutte and Evans were untroubled at the front Feeney and Schumacher finished in fourth in the #888 Audi while King and Pires

significant inroads RACE 1 RESULT >> It was a clean start for Race 2 on Sunday Afternoon with Jaxon Evans leading the field from Pole in the #26 Arise Racing Ferrari Ryan Wood went into second in the

holding a 5 second lead prior to the pit stops but more than 10 seconds over the group from third back almost offsetting the 15-second time penalty for winning on Saturday both Jayden Ojeda and Thomas

over Elliot Schutte whose Ferrari had been returned to the track with fresh tyres Brad Schumacher exited the pits in third in the #888 Kelso Electrical Audi but had a big lock-up and ran wide into the grass at turn 2 While Schumacher went about chasing those ahead to recover his position Brooks had to battle hard to keep Schutte behind with Schutte easing past the Audi with 7 minutes left and going on to take a comfortable 10-second victory Brooks brought the #88 Audi home in second while Schumacher managed to recover to put the #888 Audi into third The #66 Lucchitti/Ojeda Realta Tigani

In fact, while promoting Anyone But You with pal Glen Powell she even intentionally fanned the romance rumor flames “The two things that you have to sell a rom-com are fun and chemistry,” Glen, who revealed Sydney spearheaded their flirty exchanges during promotion for the 2023 film, told the New York Times at the time That’s people wanting what’s on the screen and sometimes you just have to lean into it a bit—and it worked wonderfully.” Sydney—who produced the rom-com along with her ex-fiancé—gave insight into just how much thought went into her and Glen’s pseudo-affair “I was probably keeping everybody over at Sony marketing and distribution awake at night because I couldn’t stop with ideas.” Similarly, in Sydney and Brandon’s upcoming film The Housemaid—which also stars Amanda Seyfried with her and Sydney serving as executive producers—their characters Millie and Andrew engage in a romantic For celeb romances that really developed on a set No stranger to dating co-stars after romances with Sandra Bullock and Rachel McAdams, Gosling fell for Mendes on the set of The Place Beyond the Pines.

First, everyone was convinced she was dating her Anyone But You co-star Glen Powell their press tour chemistry was truly undeniable But there are only so many times two actors can say they’re just friends before everyone finally listens to them and stops shipping them I guess the internet must be really hungry for drama, because it’s pretty much 10 seconds of grainy footage of two friends standing next to each other at a concert. Besides, Brandon has been with his girlfriend Courtney Salviolo since 2020 and she commented on his Instagram just this month So I don’t think there’s anything romantic going on with him and Sydney All these Sydney relationship rumors started kicking into high gear after Sydney broke up with her longtime partner Jonathan Davino in March 2025. Let’s take a look at Sydney Sweeney’s relationship history to get a full picture of her dating life Sydney was with her ex Jonathan for about seven years, which is also just about as long as she’s been in the public eye. In 2018, Sydney was just becoming famous for her roles in the Netflix series Everything Sucks and Sharp Objects. And in September 2018, she was first spotted with Jonathan at an Emmys party Sydney was 20 and Jonathan was 34 when they met so he seems to have been her only major adult relationship Sydney and Jonathan got engaged in 2022, but by 2025, she broke things off because she “didn’t feel right” in the relationship “She’s not ready to settle down,” a source told PEOPLE “They only lasted for this long because it was hard for her to break it off They split because she just wants to focus on her career right now.” So Sydney seems to be in her single girl era That’s probably why she’s mostly been seen with her co-stars; they’re her co-workers and that’s who she hangs out with these days And anyway, when Sydney starts dating again, don’t hold your breath that it will be with a co-star. She told Cosmopolitan she doesn’t date “people in the spotlight.” She said “I don’t date actors or musicians or anyone in entertainment because I can just be normal Syd that way and it’s easiest © 2025 Betches All rights reserved two shots ended Sydney’s worst mass murder in more than a decade As an inquest into the Bondi Junction stabbings continues the question remains: what more could have been done When police inspector Amy Scott entered a Sydney shopping centre in pursuit of a man who was stabbing people with a large knife she did so without a partner or a bulletproof vest “Because, in my head, I had resigned myself to the fact that I was probably going to die”, she told the New South Wales coroners court this week It was 3.37pm on 13 April 2024. Four minutes earlier, Joel Cauchi, 40, who had schizophrenia, had begun a stabbing rampage inside the Westfield Bondi Junction shopping mall The inspector was the first police unit to respond to the initial radio call-out. She had been driving her police car from Bondi beach Insp Amy Scott after receiving the commissioners valour award in 2024. Photograph: Mick Tsikas/AAP“I remember the radio operator said … ‘We’re getting multiple calls, multiple stabbings, multiple locations at Bondi Junction Westfield.’ I knew right then that it was very real,” Scott told the state coroner, Teresa O’Sullivan, on Tuesday. When she arrived at the Westfield, her initial plan was to execute a “dynamic entry”, with other officers entering the centre at multiple points. But running from the shopping centre were people screaming: “He’s killing people, he’s hurting people.” Read moreShe told Lidcombe coroners court she then knew she was dealing with an active armed offender officers were told they had a 60% to 70% chance of non-survival “and that is if you are partnered up and vested up as makeshift backup she had Silas Despreaux and Damien Guerot – two French nationals who had become friends since moving to Australia Guerot arrived in Australia to learn English about 10 years ago and is now a carpenter Despreaux told Guerot: “Let’s go catch him.” 2:20Footage shows Australian police arriving on scene after Bondi Junction attack – videoThey tried to stop Cauchi using heavy bollards from a clothing store throwing them down an escalator as he moved up it towards them Scott told the court that the men told her which way to go she unclipped her gun and one of the Frenchmen told her: “You’re on your own [without other police] You have to have your gun ready because this guy is dangerous.” A short distance from the top of the escalator and with the men behind her “I’ve got eyes on him … and I’m in foot pursuit,” she radioed When he stopped about 20 metres ahead of her She silently signalled to a mother with a pram then called out “mate” to get Cauchi’s attention He turned towards her and started sprinting she told the court that she thought “that he was going to kill me” Less than six minutes after his rampage began Cauchi lay motionless outside an art and craft shop Two of the bullets had hit him; one missed and struck a pot plant Read moreThat morning, after sleeping rough near Maroubra beach, he picked up his backpack and knife from his rented storage locker, searched Reddit for accounts of the Columbine school shooting, then made his way to Bondi Junction. There, while standing in a queue at a cafe in the sprawling Westfield shopping centre, he took his knife from his bag and, just before 3.33pm, fatally stabbed Dawn Singleton. The 25-year-old bride had been shopping for wedding makeup. Five seconds later, he stabbed Jade Young, 47, an architect, once, as she stood beside her daughter. She died within minutes. He next fatally stabbed an economics student, Yixuan Cheng, 27, then new mother Ashlee Good, 38, a security guard, Faraz Tahir, 30, and Pikria Darchia, 55. After being stabbed while protecting her baby, Good was able to contact her mother-in-law who was also in Westfield. She “made her way to assist … and was there to comfort her and her granddaughter in the midst of that fear”, the senior counsel assisting, Dr Peggy Dwyer SC, said. Young’s daughter used her dying mother’s phone to call her father, who was also at Westfield. On his way to them, he encountered the attacker and “warned others that Mr Cauchi had a knife before running to find his wife”, the court heard. Free daily newsletterOur Australian afternoon update breaks down the key stories of the day, telling you what’s happening and why it matters An early assumption was that Cauchi targeted women: of his 16 victims, just three were men. But that theory was debunked by Det Chief Insp Andrew Marks, the police officer in charge of the investigation. “From the start of his attack, he moved very quickly and he appeared to attack people that were not ready, [who] didn’t know what was happening,” Marks said in court. “I just believe that whoever was in his way … is who he attacked.” It was clear that the death toll might have been far higher. In 2021, Cauchi had sought and been given initial psychiatric approval for a gun licence – something he did not follow through on, which the court heard was “very, very fortunate”. The court watched CCTV footage that showed Cauchi, seconds before he was shot, hesitating in front of a man, who appeared to have no idea of the danger he was in. Read more“I don’t even know to this day if they realised,” Scott said from the stand the bravery of the young officers who had also run towards danger that day – some of whom have not been able to return to work since The level of preparedness for an active armed offender from security alarms to interagency communication and command is central to the inquest for which the brief of evidence contains some 50 volumes and on which at least 18 barristers are working Australia is a country in which mass casualty attacks are rare – the Bondi Junction attack was Sydney’s worst mass murder in more than a decade – and the triage response was perhaps a function of that fact communications issues also hampered responders’ efforts Multiple victims spread over three floors of the massive mall, combined with the sheer number of people there on that ordinary Saturday – not to mention its infamously maze-like layout – would have added to the fear and chaos that quickly descended. Dwyer’s opening address led what has become a theme of the inquest: every witness, and many of the barristers, have begun their words with condolences to those affected. Injuries have been acknowledged as being both physical and psychological. “The grief of the families who are impacted is raw and deep … and the extent of their loss is truly unfathomable for the rest of us. The inquest is a huge strain on their emotional reserves,” Dwyer said. As well as many witnesses, the state coroner, too, was affected. On Tuesday, O’Sullivan stopped proceedings after Whalley was overcome with emotion when recalling how, late in the evening of 13 April, a team of young police officers had not wanted to leave the side of a deceased victim. “I’m grateful for the break too,” O’Sullivan told him after a five-minute pause, “because I found what you said very moving.” he told ABC the projected victory was "a win for the ages" Albanese "has pulled off one of the great political victories since federation,” he said.The results were "absolutely unbelievable" said through tears at the election party.Reporting by Kirsty Needham Christine Chen and Alasdair Pal in Sydney; editing by Edmund Klamann Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles., opens new tab , opens new tab Browse an unrivalled portfolio of real-time and historical market data and insights from worldwide sources and experts. , opens new tabScreen for heightened risk individual and entities globally to help uncover hidden risks in business relationships and human networks. © 2025 Reuters.

He denied any knowledge of a note listing Jewish community targets that New South Wales police alleged was found inside the caravan “I actually picked Dural and I just told the driver … to just put it in a safe spot,” Akca said including on a childcare centre and synagogues In March, police said the caravan was part of a “fake terrorism plot” allegedly orchestrated by organised criminals for personal gain Police alleged the “con job” was fabricated by organised crime figures for personal benefit and that the undisclosed figures were based in Australia and offshore The AFP deputy commissioner, Krissy Barrett, alleged in March that: “We believe the person pulling the strings wanted changes to their criminal status but maintained a distance from their scheme and hired alleged local criminals to carry out parts of their plan.” Free daily newsletterOur Australian morning briefing breaks down the key stories of the day, telling you what’s happening and why it matters Read moreBarrett said the incidents were designed to gain the police’s attention and divert resources with alleged offenders “accepting these tasks for money” the plan was the following: organise for someone to buy a caravan place it with explosives and written material of antisemitic nature inform law enforcement about an impending terror attack against Jewish Australians.” The plot was “never going to cause a mass casualty event” Akca told the ABC this week that he “removed something off the street and gave it to [the AFP] And then there’s a bunch of other things they’re alleging was me After supplying the AFP with further information about explosives as part of his bid for leniency Akca gave up on the hope of returning to Australia In April, it emerged that a senior NSW police officer signed a non-disclosure agreement when told by the AFP in early February that the motivation of the “mastermind” behind Sydney’s fake terrorism caravan plot was to influence prosecutions. The AFP said on Monday that it questioned “the motivation of the individual interviewed by Four Corners”. “That person has been charged by the AFP for an alleged illicit drug importation, which carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment,” an AFP spokesperson said. “That person is also accused of unlawfully leaving Australia while on bail.” On Monday, NSW police told Guardian Australia: “Operation Kissinger is an investigation by the joint counter-terrorism team (JCTT) comprising members of NSW police force, Australian federal police, NSW crime commission and Asio. “The NSW police force is committed to preventing and disrupting any threat to the safety and wellbeing of the community and has been working collaboratively with our partner agencies under JCTT arrangements to investigate terrorist activities, since its establishment in 2002.” NSW police said a number of people connected to the investigation had been charged and were before the courts, and, for “operational reasons”, would not comment further.
