Discover The Latest In Sports Fitness Technology
By Shaun Parker
Thankfully the Beijing Olympics has not been dominated by either doping scandals or controversy about sporting equipment that allegedly provides unfair advantages. It has come down to good old fashion sports fitness and has been a testimony to the philosophy of the Olympics. Technology in sports fitness is always in a state of evolution and this article focuses on the latest developments.
First up is the suit worn by the legendary Michael Phelps at the Beijing Olympics which has now been released on the general market in the US. Priced at around 300GBP you have to be really serious about swimming fast but the LZR Racer does what it says on the tin with 94 percent of gold medals at the games being won by competitors wearing the suit. Although most of those were actually won by Phelps himself the ultrasonically bonded bodysuit reduces skin friction and drag to a massive degree, however it is only suitable for serious competitive swimmers.
Another new sports fitness product to hit the market is ideal for an outdoor enthusiast. The Overboard Carbon Backpack takes the roll-top concept a step further and is perfect for hikers, canoeist or people who carry around stuff underwater. The material is the standard TPU which is 100 percent waterproof and a new combination of roll-top and zips renders the seals 100 percent waterproof also. The best part of the backpack is the design as the storage is excellent and the back padding channelled to distribute weight superbly. At 60GBP it is a worthy investment for outdoor sports fitness enthusiasts.
If you need a personal trainer who will not follow you around slapping doughnuts out of your hand and yelling to drop and give them 20 then the Nokia Sports Tracker might be for you. This technology comes in two parts, first is a free application that is compatible with Nokia mobiles and the second being a website which integrates the data. The software breaks your sports fitness into sections such as daily routine, routes, training diary and settings and enables you to map progress in a user friendly manner. It is a useful assistant however they have not introduced the feature that delivers an electric shock when you go near cakes… yet.
Sports fitness is growing in popularity in the UK and the recent successes at the Olympics will only fuel this fire. It is good to have all the recent technology when it comes to sports fitness equipment however there is a line and you have to ask yourself whether forking out cash is really necessary for the level at which you are competing.

Fake news always sells like a hot cake
By Jessica Thomson
What is the power of a rumor? Ask any celebrity and you will get your answer. As a matter of fact, sometimes rumors appear to be more romantic than the real news. Someone just sparks the word rumor and there are is a list of journalists and photographers trying to unravel the truth in their own manner. In the process of trying to know the truth, they just happen to create news very different from the reality all by themselves. The latest rumor in the town always captures more attention from the people around then the reality.
But did you ever think of why and how these fake rumors spread like a wildfire? The fact remains that people don’t care if the news is true or fake they just take interest and enjoy the gossip for hours together. Once people get to know about something that is very different and interesting, the next thing they do is to call a friend and let them know about the same news. Hence even before it is confirmed whether the news is a reality or a fake it is spread to nearly the whole town or city. But where do these rumors generate from?
Generally there is nothing ethical about the rumors. Some of them are made up by the people while some are a simple exaggeration of a minor news. Basically speaking the rumors can be categorized into three types which are as follows.
1 True rumors: This news is real in nature but the fact remains that they are published as a rumor and is believed as a rumor amongst people. There might be evidence for this news but is exaggerated by the crowd.
2 Simply rumors: This category is for the news which is simply fake and without evidence. They are created without any base and are harmful to the people. They are the most common type of rumors that are seen and heard by us.
3 Publicity rumors: This is the most unique type of rumor which is created by the celebrities themselves especially to get more publicity and unnecessary attention of the people. They pay high price to the newspapers and the journalists to write about them just to gain the attention.
Every week, there is a list of fake news being published just for an advertisement. One of the main sources of such fake news is that of
fake newspaper. Thus the next time you get to hear something interesting, enjoy its spices.
