  • The New South Wales Supreme Court has ordered a woman to pay more than $370,000 in damages following a false negative review she posted on Google.
  • Cynthia Imisides claimed she was charged for a procedure that was not performed by the Sydney-based plastic surgeon Dr. Kourosh Tavakoli, and she posted a negative review about it on Google.
  • The court later found that Cynthia's claims were "untrue" and ordered her to pay damages as well as Tavakoli's legal fees.

In February 2017, Cynthia Imisides had surgery performed on her nose and cheeks by a Sydney-based cosmetic plastic surgeon, Dr. Kourosh Tavakoli — a "household name for elite plastic surgery in Australia" with a specialty in breast augmentation, according to his website.

Following the surgery, a judge has now ruled, Imisides falsely told her ex-husband that she had been charged for a buccal fat procedure, in which the fat around your cheeks is removed, but that it hadn't been performed by Tavakoli. Imisides repeated this claim in a negative Google review on Tavakoli's page, posted in September 2017.

According to court documents, the review claimed "that the plaintiff charged the first defendant for a buccal fat procedure that he did not perform; that the plaintiff acted improperly in relation to a buccal fat procedure for the first defendant; and the plaintiff acted incompetently in relation to a buccal fat procedure for the first defendant."

A judge ruled June 24 that when Imisides told her ex-husband about the "false" procedures and later repeated it in a Google review, she knew the statement was untrue.

"She knew that the statement made to the second defendant as to the non-performance of the operation was untrue and she knew that the second Google review statements were untrue," Justice Stephen Rothman said. Imisides is listed as the first defendant in the case, with her ex-husband listed as the second defendant.

Following the negative review, court documents said, traffic to Tavakoli's site dropped by more than 23% in less than a week. When Tavakoli became aware of the publication of the review, he said he became "extremely distressed and embarrassed," according to court documents.

In late September, Imisides was served a court order about the review and it was removed from the site. Then, one week before the trial was set to start, she went on to publish yet another negative review about the procedure on Google.

Imisides was ordered to pay Tavakoli the equivalent of $370,470, or 530,000 Australian dollars, in damages for defamation as well as pay his legal costs. The court documents surmised the imputations of Imisides' defamatory Google reviews and their impact on Tavakoli's business, finding that "those allegations have been shown to be plainly untrue."

"The allegations contained in the publication are extremely serious and go to the heart of the reputation of the plaintiff in his profession," Rothman said.

Imisides was also ordered not to publish her negative review on Google. Business Insider has reached out to Google for comment.

This decision comes after a landmark Supreme Court ruling in Australia that found media companies could be sued for defamation for public comments made on their Facebook pages.

Auto review: 2019 Ford Ranger brings the brand a mid-sized pickup - The Macomb Daily

Posted: 13 Jun 2019 12:00 AM PDT

After years of saying there was no need for a mid-sized pickup truck, Ford changed its mind and brought back the well-remembered nameplate Ranger for 2019.

It's based on an existing Ford global truck platform but with a fair bit of fixing up. The Ranger hits straight at Toyota's Tacoma in the mid-sized pickup segment. Both of these are trucks which appeal to people who like the way trucks ride and drive.

All 2019 Ford Ranger's turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder will produce 270 hp and 310 lb.- ft. of peak torque, pushing that power through a 10-speed automatic transmission. Ford says the Ranger's EPA-estimated ratings are 21 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway for the two-wheel drive and 20 mpg and 24 mpg respectively for the four-wheel drive version.

Ford uses Dana AdvanTEK independent front and solid rear axles on both two-wheel and four-wheel models, and you can opt for an electronic-locking rear axle for increased all-terrain traction, although it comes as a part of the off-road packages.

Rangers come in entry-level XL, mid-level XLT and high-level Lariat trim series with available. Starting prices run from $24,000 to $38,565. There are a couple of appearance and equipment packages. These include the cosmetic Chrome and Sport packages and FX Off-Road package. You can also pick the SuperCab or SuperCrew cab configurations.

The FX4 Off-Road package provides more off-road oomph, thanks to off-road-tuned shocks, all-terrain tires. More importantly if you really are going to drive your Ranger places they go to make TV commercials, this includes a frame-mounted heavy-gauge steel front bash plate, frame-mounted skid plates and FX4 badging.

2019 Ford Ranger

Ranger is designed for today's midsize truck buyer who blends city living with off-the-grid adventure. The midsize pickup will deliver utility, capability and technology those customers want and need. Powered by a 2.3-liter EcoBoost® engine and class-exclusive 10-speed automatic transmission, Ranger will deliver driver-assist technologies and connectivity features as well as best-in-class payload, gas towing and gas torque.

Unlike the full-sized pickups and GM's mid-sized offerings, the Ranger seems dated inside. But that goes with its ride, which was more trucky than I expected.

This is not a bad thing, especially for those who buy pickups to actually use as trucks. Its rear suspension is set up to take a load, and when the bed is empty there's more rear-end "lightness" that's noticeable cruising down the highway or plying crowded metro streets.

The Ranger's appearance is rather generic. It doesn't really strike you because its very blended. Granted, about all you can do to make a pickup stand out is the front face and perhaps the fenders and wheel wells. Neither are particularly dramatic on the Ranger. One might say they are perhaps too understated.

There is a distinctive high beltline and the raked grille and windshield are graceful and even tweak aerodynamics and wind noise a bit. There are short overhangs in front and back and these are what off-roaders want. I did like that in back the Ranger name is stamped in the tailgate. While it doesn't add anything to the looks, the steel rear bumper with the optional integrated trailer hitch receiver is a big help hooking them up.

The inside makes it clear that this is a truck. The seats are wide and comfortable, the dashboard is broad, with an instrument panel which clearly communicates its information. The center console will hold plenty.

There are the expected features, such as good connectivity, and well-rounded infotainment package so there is plenty for others to do while riding. There are the appropriate driver-assist technologies such as standard Automatic Emergency Braking.

There are others, such as Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Departure Warning, a Reverse Sensing System and Blind Spot Information System with trailer coverage. All of these come standard on XLT and Lariat trim levels.

The Ranger brings perhaps a new truck customer to the brand or satisfies big-truck drivers who are ready for something a bit smaller. There are also those who will be attracted from a sense of nostalgia, remembering the brand from stories they've heard.

But when they get into one they very well may decide that they need to write some stories of their own about this Ranger.

I Like My $3 Drugstore ‘Color-Enhancing’ Lip Balm More Than Dior Lip Glow - New York Magazine

Posted: 04 Jun 2019 12:00 AM PDT

The first time I spent over $30 on Dior Lip Glow was on a hot summer day three years ago at the Sephora on 34th Street. I'd been skeptical of the culty balm, whose promise to enhance your natural lip color reminded me of Lip Venom, the early aughts gloss that "plumped" your lips by irritating them. And yet when I put on the Lip Glow and looked in the mirror, I was sold. My lips gleaned with a golden pink tint which, somehow, gave my whole face a sheen of rosy good health. I bought it.

I went through the $34 tube quickly, and when it was time to re-up, I couldn't quite bring myself to spend the money. I went months without lip glow, until one fateful day at CVS, in a scenario not unlike that day at Sephora — killing time, not looking for anything in particular — when I came across Maybelline's Baby Lips Glow Balm. I'd heard of the (pervy-named) balm before, but had never seen the Glow formula, which had pink and silver packaging like Dior's Lip Glow, not so shyly announcing it as a dupe. Not quite a lipstick, the lip balm claimed to simply give your natural lip color a zhuzh via "pH transforming," which would reveal your "ideal, custom shade of pink." It was also $3.
