The Science of Heartbreak

You can blame it on your ex, but what’s really making your heart hurt – and your body ache – is coming from inside.

Since you broke up, your stomach has felt like a hollow pit of emptiness, but you still can’t work up an appetite; your heart feels as if it’s clamped in a vice and you haven’t slept a wink all week. We’ve all been there before and there’s no question about it: losing the love of your life is a miserable experience. But it’s time to stop romanticising the past and agonising over what you’ve lost on the outside, because the real pain is coming from inside your head.

Fitness mistake 1: Not regularly changing your fitness regime
Getting stuck in a training rut is probably the most common training error of all. Yes, 20 minutes on the treadmill and three sets of 10 reps with 5kg weights might be fine when you start out – but if you fail to increase either the length or intensity of the run, and the weight or number of repetitions that you do, the improvements will plateau out.

Is it Ebola or is it flu?

Ebola has killed over 1 200 Africans this year. With the outbreak worsening, how do you know if you need to be worried or not?

Ebola is a highly deadly disease that kills up to 90% of those it infects, often within just days of symptoms beginning to show.

However, the initial symptoms of Ebola aren't all that uncommon. In fact, the disease's early stages mimic those of many other common diseases, including simple influenza. Fortunately, sufferers are only contagious in the later stages of the disease.

Ebola - What You're Not Being Told

Robin Williams' Death Linked To Depression

The apparent suicide of Robin Williams has refocused public attention on depression and its link to substance abuse.

 The apparent suicide Monday of Academy Award-winning actor and comic star Robin Williams has refocused public attention on depression, its link to substance abuse and, in tragic cases, suicide.
Williams was last seen alive at his suburban San Francisco home about 10 p.m. on Sunday, according to the Marin County coroner's office. Shortly before noon on Monday, the Sheriff's Department received an emergency call from the home, where he was soon pronounced dead. Sheriff's officials said a preliminary investigation ruled the cause of death was suicide by asphyxiation, according to the Associated Press.

Plan to skip Windows 8? Get your Windows 7 exit strategy ready now

Organisations should be planning what their next OS should be after Windows 7 - and in many cases they may want to bypass Windows 8. 

Companies should start planning their upgrade from Windows 7 now - and perhaps also how to give Windows 8 a miss.

It may be six years before Windows 7 support is withdrawn but firms had longer to prepare for the end of XP support and nearly a quarter of PCs in organisations were still running the venerable OS after support ended, said Stephen Kleynhans, research vice president at Gartner.

"The end of support for Windows 7 will be January, 2020, assuming there are no changes to its current support life cycle. While this feels like it's a long way off, organisations must start planning now, so they can prevent a recurrence of what happened with Windows XP," said Kleynhans.

Google Turns In A User For Allegedly Possessing Criminal Material

Find out how Google detected illegal activity on their systems and how they responded to the discovery. 

The lines between good and bad don't get much clearer than this. It was recently reported that Google alerted the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) when they detected evidence of alleged child pornography being sent via a user's Gmail account. The NCMEC then contacted local police and the user, a Houston Texas resident previously convicted of sexual assault, was subsequently arrested after child pornography was found on devices that he owned.

Very few law-abiding citizens would object to such a measure, but nevertheless, the comments on various news sites, Facebook, and other sources began heating up almost immediately:

Android is Winning The Platform Race

As a long-time supporter and user of open source, it gives me great pride to say this:

Android is outselling everyone. Period. End of story. Of course, it wouldn't be much of a story if I simply ended it with that. The numbers don't lie, but there's more to it than just that. With that statement, it's easy to assume I'm speaking of mobile platforms and that Android is crushing iOS, Windows Phone, BlackBerry, Fire OS, and the rest of the platforms that power smartphones and tablets.

But no. It's much, much more impressive than that. Android is outselling:

• Windows
• OS X
• Linux
• Amiga
• OS/2

Ebola Outbreak Likely Started by 2-year-old in Guinea

The worst outbreak of Ebola, which has killed 961 people and triggered an international public health emergency, may have started with a 2-year-old patient in a village in Guinea, according to a report.

About nine months ago, the toddler, whom researchers believe may have been Patient Zero, suffered fever, black stool and vomiting. Just four days after showing the painful symptoms, the child died on December 6, 2013, according to a report published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Microsoft Stays Committed To Ultra-Cheap Phones

The Nokia 130 can play videos and MP3 music files on its 1.8in (4.6cm) screen

 

Microsoft has announced a low cost mobile phone that lacks a data connection, meaning it cannot offer any of the firm's internet services.

The Nokia 130 is priced at 19 euros ($25; £15).
The launch comes a month after a leaked memo revealed that Microsoft planned to kill off several of its low-cost phone families to "focus on" its more expensive Windows Phone range.

But the firm said that it was still committed to its most basic range.

"This is a massive market segment, and there are not a lot of players in this segment for the reason that scale is really important," Jo Harlow, head of Microsoft's phones business, told the BBC.

Resolving The Ethics Of The Ebola Dilemma

Nurses in Liberia have been briefing the public about the risks

A group of ethicists will meet on Monday at the World Health Organization to discuss the wisdom or otherwise of making an experimental drug more widely available to those suffering from Ebola.

Ebola is named after a river in the northern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Statistically, it is a relatively trivial disease, killing a few thousand people since its discovery in 1976.

In contrast, malaria and tuberculosis each kill several million people each year. Measles killed 122,000 in 2012. Yet, Ebola has captured the public imagination. We do not know which animal harbours the virus although bats have long been suspected, and this makes prevention and control difficult.

The clinical manifestation is dramatic, with rapid progression from infection to cell death and symptoms that can include bleeding, vomiting and diarrhoea. The fatality rate is high, ranging from 50% to 90%.

Ebola virus: Liberia Health System 'Overtaxed'

Liberia's information minister has admitted that the country's health care system has been overwhelmed by the spread of the deadly Ebola virus. 

Lewis Brown told the BBC the system had been "overtaxed" by the outbreak, but that authorities were doing their best in the face of an unprecedented crisis.

The medical charity MSF said officials underestimated the outbreak and that the health system was "falling apart".

 Nearly 1,000 people have died and 1,800 have become infected in West Africa.

The Ebola outbreak - the worst-ever - is centred on Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, but has spread to other countries in recent months.

Israel Didn’t Expect This Miracle Just Seconds Before A Hamas Rocket Almost Killed Hundreds

An Israeli commander claimed that hundreds of Israeli lives were saved recently when “the hand of God” stopped a Hamas rocket.

A missile was fired from Gaza. Iron Dome precisely calculated [its trajectory]. We know where these missiles are going to land down to a radius of 200 meters. This particular missile was going to hit either the Azrieli Towers, the Kirya (Israel’s equivalent of the Pentagon) or [a central Tel Aviv railway station]. Hundreds could have died.

5 Things You Must Give Up

We always hear people say: “Don’t give up”, “Giving up is not an option”, or “Never quit”.

While this is true in many circumstances, giving up is actually an essential part of growth.

There are things that weigh us down, slow us from our journey or hinder us from achieving our goals or 

dreams. In which case, we MUST give up.

What are the things that we should give up?
