Rumours Of Jennifer Lawrence And Chris Martin Relationship Continue To Surface
Posted: August 18, 2014 at 9:52 pm
Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence is apparently dating Coldplay frontman, Chris Martin. The news came following Lawrence's split from her X-Men co-star, Nicholas Hoult in June 2014.
Apparently, flirting began at a party following a Coldplay concert in July of this year. Martin had been single since March when he split up with his wife, Gwyneth Paltrow after being married for ten years. Rumours began to circulate in various US media outlets before recently appearing in UK newspapers.
Jennifer recently split from X-Men co-star Nicholas Hoult
Ten years after marrying fitness loving Paltrow, who has a strict excercise routine and enjoys a healthy diet, Martin has made a complete U-turn by dating the junk-food-enjoying smoker Lawrence. It has been suggested that this opposite lifestyle is what Martin finds attractive in Lawrence.

In stark contrast to the Lawrence rumours, Martin also apparently still finding time to spend with his ex-wife, with whom he has two children. The couple are reported to still live together despite their split due to still being good friends. The family of Martin, 37, Platrow, 41, and children Apple, 10, and Moses, 8, were seen on holiday in East Hampton last month. Coldplay recently released their sixth studio album in May 2014 with no tours planned until the Iheartradio festival in Las Vegas in September.

Lawrence, 24, who has finished filming for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay parts one and two which will be released this year and next, broke up with 24-year-old Nicholas Hoult after a combined three years due to conflicting schedules. They first began their relationship in 2011 while filming X-Men: First Class, but the couple split in 2013. After six months, they got back together after filming X-Men: Days of Future Past before finally calling it quits this year.

While no official confirmation of a relationship has emerged from either party, reports continue to trickle in from alleged friends of both Lawrence and Martin. The couple seem all set to become the favourite A-list couple of tabloids across the world in the upcoming months.

Excercise And Cardiac Health; More Salt Ok?
Posted: at 9:52 pm
If youve survived a heart-attack, you probably know that its especially important for you to get out and run or walk to help your cardiovascular health, however a new study suggests thats true only to a point.
Researchers studied about 2,400 heart-attack survivors and found that running is good for their cardiovascular health unless they ran more than four-miles a day. They also found that walking is good for their health unless they walked more than six miles per day. At those points, their cardiovascular risk started to go back up.
If youre a person with heart disease in your family, doctors say you should do about 30 minutes of exercise per day.

A new study from the University of Alabama found that, if youre already healthy, you can likely double your daily recommended sodium intake and still be okay
Researchers found that people under the age of 60 who dont have high blood pressure didnt seem to be affected by the extra salt.
There are two big catches here. First, theres still a correlation between salt intake and high blood pressure, and second, it turns out most of us already eat twice the recommended daily intake of sodium.
In short, no, this doesnt give you license to put extra salt on those fries, because chance are, youve been doing it all along.

Intel teams up with rap chap 50 Cent on heartbeat headphones
Posted: August 15, 2014 at 12:48 pm
Top 10 endpoint backup mistakes
The rapper 50 Cent has hooked up with Intel to get his headphone firm making kit for the health-tech wearables set.
The pair plan to produce a set of cans which monitor vital stats at the same time as bombarding fit folks' ear drums.
Following in the footsteps of the music producer turned Apple employee who self-identifies as "the mutha-fucking D. R. E.", Mr Cent (real name Curtis James Jackson III) first released a pair of headphones back in 2012 via his SMS Audio firm.
His latest offering has upped the ante somewhat, offering fitness freaks the chance to monitor their fitness, presuming they want to listen to music as they excercise.
According to a rather florid press release advertising the snappily titled SMS Audio BioSport In-Ear Headphones, the devices are designed to "optimize workouts for ultra-marathoners, aspirational exercisers and everyone inbetween".
The headphones are the result of a link-up with Intel.
"Intel is focused on driving innovation in the wearable technology segment by partnering with lifestyle brands like SMS Audio that complement our technology and design expertise," said Michael Bell, corporate vice president and general manager of the New Devices Group at Intel.
"With SMS Audio, we will bring smart headphones to market that eliminate the inconvenience of add-on devices with an integrated, one-device fitness accessory offering high-end style and premier sound quality for an exceptional fitness experience. This is a prime example of Intel driving innovation in wearable devices while being a forerunner in merging lifestyle and technology."
The main attraction of the in-ear headphones is an optical sensor which measures a victim's heartbeat as they exercise. Rather obviously, the headphones also offer "tuned-in Fitness", which means they allow you to play music. They can sync with the jogging app Runkeeper, are waterproof and do not require any power.

Swedish kids to get 100 more sport hours a year

Sweden's government proposed on Wednesday an additional 20 percent of sports for the country's primary school children, meaning a massive hop, skip, and a jump from 500 hours a year to 600.
Education Minnister Jan Bjrklund said that Sweden's move to cut back school sports during the nineties was "an unfortunate decision".
"Not only are we going to correct this, but we plan to improve it," he said on Wednesday.
He proposed that primary school students should be given 600 hours of excercise a year, up 20 percent from the current 500 hours.
"When students are on the move we know they're working better in class. Furthermore, there's been a change in lifestyle meaning children excerxise less these days."
The 100 hours will be taken from the students' free-choice subject time, meaning the move won't cost anything to implement. TheNational Agency for Education (Skolverket) has been tasked with determining how to structure student timetables in light of the increase.
The change is planned to take effect in 2016.

As the Swedish Security Service warns that the number of Swedes fighting in Syria is on the rise, the Liberal Party has called for legislative changes making it a crime for Swedes to participate in terrorist training abroad. READ

FT Coventry 1 – 2 Cardiff. Bluebirds progress in League Cup
Posted: at 5:46 pm
Late scare but it's a win for Cardiff.
Guido Burgstaller and an own goal from Ryan Haines saw Cardiff though to round 2 of the Capital One CUp.
City had to endure a scare in the final 10 minutes whenShaun Miller pulled one back for Coventry but Cardiff held on to win at Sixfields.
Burgstaller scored in the 4th minute of the game and City played the next 60 - 70 mins as a training excercise. Coventry tried to put some pressure on the Bluebirds late in the game but were undone by Simon Moore's kick out to Mats Daehli. The Norwegian crossed to Kadeem Harris to score under pressure but replays showed the ball came off Coventry defender Haines.
Within two minutes though the hosts, playing 35 miles from Coventry, had pulled one back. Haines crossed for Miller to finish.
Cardiff saw out the tricky final minutes and will now face Port Vale away in round 2.
During the game both sets of supporters held up cards saying 'Let Down' in support of Coventry's ridiculous situation where they play in Northampton but also in support of Cardiff having to endure a totally unwanted and unnecessary rebrand.

IITians look to make government more accountable
Posted: at 5:46 pm
Students at the premier engineering institute, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), are looking to make the governments more accountable. As part of their social initiative during the yearly Techfest, students of IIT Bombay will be organising training camps in the run-up to the festival not just in IITs but in over 50 colleges that take part in the festival.
The Techfest will be held between January 2 and 4, 2015. The training workshops will be held as pre-fest preparations from this month and will run up to September. "Each year, the fest has a social initiative. Last year, we had one on cancer and tobacco. This year, we thought of making the government more accountable. We ideated for a month and we read different laws and found out that Right to Information (RTI) is the best way to do that," said Hitesh Sahare, an IIT-Bombay student and events manager of Techfest.
The laws that were considered before squaring on RTI were Right to Education (RTE), Right to Services and even social audit. "We could not integrate social audit into the campaign in this kind of a large-scale exercise. Right to Services was not there in all states. On RTE, the basic problem we faced was that the government is not accountable. RTI had a better outreach as it is a central Act and everything was going hand in hand if we question them and make them accountable. That is why we squared on this," added Sahare.
The Techfest has collaborated with the National Campaign for People's Right to Informaiton (NCPRI). The workshops will be held from August 28 across 14 cities and in over 50 colleges by NCPRI activists from the areas where the colleges are situated. The two-day workshop will tell students how to file RTI, be part of participatory democracy, share success stories of RTI and end with each student filing one question through RTI they have always wanted to ask the government.
"The workshops will be held in different dates at different engineering colleges between August and September. We are doing this because it is a better thing for empowerment of the community. These are prospective engineers and they will get experience from a young age. The idea is that students who are in technical background use RTI. Once they know the Act and confront, small issues can also become public interest issues," said Bhaskar Prabhu, co-convenor of NCPRI.
IITians expect around 60,000 to 70,000 students to benefit from the excercise.
The initiative will be formally launched by another IIT alumnus and former central information commissioner, Shailesh Gandhi. "The idea is not just to expose them to RTI but make them think in terms of governance of the country. RTI is a great tool to hold the government accountable; it empowers people and we need a large number of people to do this. It will also help in true participatory democracy," said Gandhi.
