Nadal Wins French Open



In the rivalling match that took place on Sunday between the world champion Novak Djokovic (Serbia) and Rafael Nadal (Spain) battled for the title ‘French Open Winner 2012’. After all of Nadal’s hard effort he managed to take home the title and made history by securing a seventh French Open title!
6-4 6-3 2-6 7-5 were his scores.
The weather affected the way both competitors played because the tennis ball being covered in clay from the courts and the rain making the courts very slippery therefore meaning that they could not make certain shots played by their opponents and giving their opponents extra points whereas if it wasn’t raining they wouldn’t have given away.
The match itself took place on a clay based court, on Sunday 10th June 2012 at the Roland Garros arena ain Pairs.

The Fake Life: Forum Hoax

Everyone is aware that in any forums you must keep safe and be aware that some people on there are not real. But some people fake illnesses and make up stories of children who suffer from problems such as cancer, and then they post using a fake identity so that they get money and attention. These people can be anyone because the mask of the internet fits all.

A very recent case shows that a teenage girl had managed to create a intensely woven story about her daughter and their fight against cancer. After the supposed child had died the records of her were searched and it was found that neither of them ever existed.
The people on the forum were shocked; they though that such an act seemed desperate and cruel to those who believed her and tried to help her. The girl is now in therapy and is sure that she is on the road to getting rid of this bad habit.

Spotting Early Osteoporosis

Recent test have proven new theories and reasons for bone structure loss, these test were aimed at astronauts that need to heed into space. This is because with the microgravity in space it is very hard for your bones to stay healthy, and that weightlessness triggers boneless.

This has shown doctors that with ordinary peoples bone loss can be triggered very easily as well. Prolonged bed rest can cause osteoporosis and now after finding out this information scientists can spot the early symptoms using scans that will detect for osteoporosis if a fracture occurs.

Dr Nicola Peel of the National Osteoporosis Society in the UK said: "It is always exciting to see new techniques being developed with the potential to increase our understanding of the evolution and mechanism of bone disease.

"This approach of using calcium isotopes is very interesting and appears to have potential to detect very early changes of bone loss.
"This could therefore have a future role in the clinical evaluation of patients."

Chelsea Ends on a High Note: Made in Chelsea End of Season Party

Despite all the drama that has taken place this season, the cast of the hit show Made in Chelsea finished the season with all their differences finally aside. Marking the end of episode 3, the entire cast of Made in Chelsea were invited to the studio to take part in the End of Season party.

The host, Rick Edwards, quizzed and interrogated the cast about the various arguments that have been going on throughout the series, including Louise cheating on Jamie and Binky and Cheska ruining Richard and Kimberly’s relationship.

The show kicked off with getting right down to the root of the love triangle including Jamie, Louise and Spencer. Despite Louise refusing to take a seat on the sofa with Edwards, he managed to give her a grilling all the same. Spencer and Jamie took to the sofa also and finally talked face to face about the issue. It seems like they have both put the issue behind them, though, but the same cannot be said for Louise and Jamie, after she claimed she hated him in the last episode.

Rick Edwards also talked to Cheska, Binky and Richard and they all said they made mistakes and they were over it now. Nevertheless Richard and Kimberly ended their relationship due to the pressures of the show.
The End of Season Party ended with a mini game show questioning the cast’s knowledge on their own show. The boys won for a second year in a row and won a “Cheska Award”.
Season 4 of Made in Chelsea is set to start in around Autumn, so stay tuned until then!
