Have you meet Miley Cyrus 's mystery man? Be the first to meet him

Image
Now this is interesting. Miley Cyrus has apparently been dating her ‘Bangerz’ producer Mike Will Made-it. According to US Weekly, the two have been together for nine months! Sources claim that everyone in her circle knows they’ve been together this whole time. She apparently started seeing him soon after she broke up with fiancé Liam Hemsworth last year.

Toyota Releasing A Hydrogen Fuel Cell Car

Image
I’ll tell you what, cars have changed so much since the days of Henry Ford and Co. (Then again, what hasn’t changed over the last 100 years, including gas prices?) Good ol’ Henry Ford would probably be so shocked and surprised at how far the world has come when it comes to our vehicles, and the good news is that the world doesn’t seem to be showing any signs of slowing down any time soon. If anything, we’re pushing the envelope just to see how far it can go. Toyota is well known around the world for creating fuel-efficeient and even hybrid vehicles, and they’re getting ready to release possibly their most ambitious car yet. Sadly, they haven’t released the name of the car, but they have released some of its technical specifications. Here’s the big one:  it’ll run off of hydrogen fuel cells instead of gasoline. Toyota’s as-yet-unnamed car will supposedly be able to get up to 435 miles before it would need to be refueled. While that’s impressive, the refueling may prove to be Toyo

FDA Gives Sale Approval For ReWalk Bionic Suit

Image
I shudder at the thought of anything to do with spinal injuries.  I have a member of my family with fused spine and it is not an easy thing to live with, not at all.  If someone receives an injury to their spinal cord, the last thing they want to hear is, “You will never walk again.” That phrase may be spoken less often, well, in the US anyway. The  ReWalk  bionic suit is an assistive exoskeleton that is designed to give people with spinal cord injuries the ability to help them walk.  The US  Food and Drug Administration  have just approved the device for sale. FDA Office of Device Evaluation director Christy Foreman said in a statement, “Innovative devices such as ReWalk go a long way towards helping individuals with spinal cord injuries gain some mobility…Along with physical therapy, training and assistance from a caregiver, these individuals may be able to use these devices to walk again in their homes and in their The user wears a motorized brace, which is controlled with

Nokia Hopes 3D Tech Aquisition Will Improve Data Network

Image
Nokia  is forever growing and adding to their extensive list of technology.  Currently, they have bought out a 3D geolocation technology from a security and surveillance company in Israel called  NICE systems . This new 3D technology will help increase Nokia ’ s performance in mobile networks as well as trends in traffic using 3D modelling.  Because there is a forecasted increase in internet usage, network operators will be able to speed up the launch of small cell sites over a variety of locations.  The geolocation technology will enable operators to collate essential data for managing the movement of traffic and network planning. Another takeover by Nokia, was its purchase of  SAC Wireless , a network installation service provider located in the United States.  Nokia also bought a wireless company,  Mesaplexx , from Australia in June of this year.  They will help the company to resize base stations as well as small cell sites.

iPhone 6 Coming in September?

Image
Well, it’s another week which means there’s another iPhone 6 rumor. This one, though, seems like it might have some merit which is worth talking about. Techbeat just recently reported that Walmart is one of the major retailers offering massive price cuts on their inventories of iPhone 5c’s and 5s’s. In case you missed that article, you can now buy an iPhone 5c for $29, or you can get a 5s for $99. (These deals are only available in physical stores, and you have to also sign a new 2-year contract). While that’s great news about lower prices, that’s probably not the best news. The best news might just be that it’s not going to be too long before something takes the iPhone 5c/5s’s spot on the shelf – namely, the iPhone 6. It seems like Walmart (amidst other retailers) is trying to reduce their inventory load so they can replace it with Apple’s latest offering once it’s available. And, speaking of its availability, many signs point to it being released in September of this year. Appl

Image
The Coalition Government tell us we're all in this together but their expense sheets tell us a very different story Cashing in: MPs Mike Hancock and David Cameron Millionaire David Cameron  charged taxpayers 8p for a box of paperclips on his Parliamentary expenses. It is among a series of spurious claims made by senior Tories over two months, parliamentary watchdog IPSA data shows.

Unite’s Len McCluskey blasted: “David Cameron wants to clip the wings of trade unionists to take legitimate strike action over low pay. The PM’s hypocrisy is rank.” It was also revealed  disgraced MP Mike Hancock’s  expenses claims since 2010 are £95,899. He is suspended from the Lib Dems and facing calls to stand down after admitting “degrading” a woman with mental health issues. He has not spoken in

She even had some Grease-style sunglasses to finish it off. Of course, we'd have been amazed if Emme had found a pair of heels like her mum, so she worse some little black pumps while twerking superstar Jen towered above her.

"If that blow had been a few inches lower I would have risked being paralysed," the Brazil star said Jamie McDonald Neymar: I was almost paralysed Brazil star Neymar has revealed the tackle which put him out of  the World Cup  almost left him PARALYSED. The Barcelona forward  was hospitalised after suffering a fractured vertebrae in  Brazil's  World Cup quarter-final win over Colombia, after a challenge from Juan Zuniga. Neymar told reporters Zuniga had called him to apologise for the knee in the back that initially left him unable to feel his legs.

"I cannot say whether it was intentional, but everyone knows it wasn't normal. The way he came in, behind me, I couldn't defend myself.

Kelly Brook swaps tiny bum-baring playsuit for gym kit as she works up a sweat with David McIntosh

Image
Since she's been in Los Angeles Brit babe Kelly Brook has been slipping in and out of a variety of *very* skimpy outfits. Her latest eye-popping number was a tiny blue playsuit, which barely covered her behind, and towering nude heels. The brunette star was spotted heading back to her apartment with fiance David McIntosh before reappearing soon after in gym kit that could barely contain her cleavage. The previous day Kel had enjoyed another morning work-out with her hunky fella before taking their cycles for a final ride along the beachfront. Since arriving in the states, Kelly and David have cycled everyday - getting full use of the two bikes they bought last week.

Neymar to cheer for Argentina

Image
Injured Brazilian striker Neymar wants his Argentine Barcelona team-mates to win the FIFA World Cup but his support was not welcomed by rival midfielder Maxi Rodriguez. "I always said I wanted Argentina to get to the final because Brazil would be there but it never worked out like that," Neymar told reporters on Thursday. "I still want them there because my two team-mates are there, Messi and Mascherano, and I hope they win." Rodriguez, however, railed at Neymar's support. "I'm indifferent to Neymar saying that Argentina or Germany should be champions," Rodriguez said. "What bothers me is what they say there (in Argentina), I don't care what outsiders say." The Brazil v Argentina rivalry is one of the hottest in football and is particularly tense this week as Argentina are within sight of winning their third World Cup at Rio's famous Maracana stadium. Rodriguez, who is expected to play at least some part in the final

FRSC’s Chidoka to replace Oduah as Aviation Minister

Image
There are indications that President Goodluck Jonathan has sent to the Senate, the name of Corp Marshall of the Federal Road Safety Corp (FRSC), Osita Chidoka, to be considered as the new Aviation Minister. Chidoka, if cleared, would replace Stella Oduah for the Anambra state slot. Since Oduah’s exit from the Jonathan cabinet in February Anambra has been without a Minister representing it in the cabinet. The delay in replacing Oduah was as a result of some disagreements between interest groups in   Anambra politics.  although Jonathan had favored  the immediate past governor of the state and member of the rival All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Peter Obi for appointment as Minister, some Anambra politicians especially members of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP did not like it.
