TV/Movies / The Sound Of Music, Review by NewsNewsBlog: 4:07pm On Jan 01, 2016
The Sound of Music has a confidence and a sense of moral purpose that warms the hardest heart, says Sarah Crompton.

A joy: Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music

At this distance it is hard to separate Robert Wise’s lush film version of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s final musical from its current incarnation in thousands of sing along performances, with audiences dressed as nuns and winsome kids.
Even in 1965, the film divided opinion. Wise originally turned down the chance to direct because he felt it was too saccharine. Reviews were lukewarm. The eminent critic Pauline Kael described it as “the sugar-coated lie that people seem to want to eat.”
But bad films don’t survive to be loved as much as this one is. And from the soaring opening shot, swooping over the mountains to find the glorious figure of Julie Andrews singing with a voice as clear as a mountain stream and as pure as an angel, to the closing moment when Andrews leads her bedraggled family back over those heights, the movie has a confidence and a sense of moral purpose that warms the hardest heart.

Phones / Is This The REAL Reason Android Users HATE Apple's Iphone? by NewsNewsBlog: 4:27am On Jan 01, 2016
APPLE'S iPhone continues to dominate the smartphone market, filling six spots in the top 10 devices of the year.

If you're a keen Android user, you should probably avoid reading the latest list of top selling smartphones in 2015.
According to price comparison service USwitch, Apple's iPhone range dominated the top 10.
Apple's hugely successful smartphone took up six spots in the top 10 best-sellers of 2015.
The news comes after Android fans bombarded Apple's first app in the Google Play Store with negative reviews, blasting its users as "iSheep".

USwitch has revealed the best-selling smartphones on its price comparison website over the last year


The most popular smartphone of the last year was the Apple iPhone 6 with 16GB of internal storage, according to the USwitch data.
It's followed by the iPhone 5S and Apple's latest, the iPhone 6S.
In fact, the first non-Apple device to make the top 10 is Samsung's award-winning Galaxy S6, which is in fifth place.
Unbelievably – only Apple and Samsung feature in the best-sellers list, with no signs of smartphones from the likes of HTC, LG, Sony or Motorola.

Phones / Whatsapp NOT Working: Facebook-owned App Goes DOWN During New Years' Eve OUTAGE by NewsNewsBlog: 9:12pm On Dec 31, 2015
A MAJOR WhatsApp outage has left users across the globe unable to send or receive text messages on New Years’ Eve. Online reports of the Facebook-owned app being DOWN have SURGED.

Fans flocked to social media to complain about the WhatsApp outages across the globe

No, it's not just you. WhatsApp really is down.
The cross-platform messaging app is believed to have experienced a series of technical difficulties tonight – leaving well-wishers unable to send text messages in time for the New Year.
The world’s most popular messaging app first began to experience problems at around 4:30PM UK time.
Since then, reports of issues across the globe have surged as users flocked to social media to complain about the WhatsApp outages.
WhatsApp was rated the worst app for protecting users’ data, earlier this year.
Independent website DownDetector.uk, which tracks "when services go down or have outages", reported a spike in the number of people complaining about WhatsApp not working properly at around 6:00PM UK time. Most WhatsApp users were complaining about messages not being received.

Health / GRAPHIC VIDEO: Doctor Discovers WORM Wriggling Around Inside Woman's Eye by NewsNewsBlog: 11:34am On Dec 31, 2015
IF anything will snap you out of the festive spirit fast, it's this video of a worm in a lady's eye.

A video has appeared online titled 'a Nematode worm inside a woman's eye' - and it's every bit as squeamish as you'd think.
Parasitic nematodes - the worm in this poor woman's eye - can vary in length from several millimetres to approximately 2 metres.

The short video shows a close-up view of a woman's eye with the eyelashes at the bottom of the picture.
What might seem like a normal video suddenly gets weird when a worm wiggles into picture near the iris.

A doctor discovered a worm in a woman's eye

As the woman blinks, the little white worm comes into focus as it twists around her pupil and across to the other side of the eye.
Thankfully, the woman doesn't appear to be in any pain and allows the doctor to take a closer look at the worm.
However, it should be noted having a nematode in the eye can lead to blindness.
The video is captioned: "I wasn't sure if you wanted to see the treatment; it involves slicing the conjunctiva and draining the aqueous humour with a vacuum tube; not pleasant to look at.

Sports / Revealed: Why Juventus Are Favourites To Sign Chelsea Ace Cesc Fabregas by NewsNewsBlog: 1:33am On Dec 30, 2015
JUVENTUS are favourites to sign Chelsea star Cesc Fabregas this January as they prepare to lose star midfielder Paul Pogba, according to reports.

Cesc Fabregas (left) could replace Paul Pogba at Juventus

Fabregas, 28, has lost the support of Chelsea fans, who see him as one of the instigators of Jose Mourinho's sacking earlier this month.
Fans booed the midfielder during Chelsea's 3-1 home win over Sunderland, vocally blaming him and striker Diego Costa for Mourinho's exit.
He was left out of the travelling squad that earned a 0-0 draw at Manchester United yesterday because of illness and has reportedly attracted the eye of two Serie A giants.

League leaders Inter Milan are said to be preparing an £18million bid for the Spaniard, according to Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport.
But they will struggle to see off interest in the World Cup winner from Juventus, who are expected to have cash to spend in January.
Juve are expected to sell star midfielder Paul Pogba to Barcelona next month.

But not to worry, it's very easy to add the JavaScript code to your blog and I will walk you through it so even a newbie can do it. Take a look at the demo below then the tutorial.

Apple has left a few hidden 3D Touch shortcuts littered around iOS 9

3D TOUCH is undoubtedly the coolest new feature in the Apple iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus. And if you're lucky enough to own the latest Apple hardware, you need to master these five hidden 3D Touch shortcuts.

Apple unveiled 3D Touch on-stage at the launch of the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus, back in September.
The revolutionary new display technology allows the flagship smartphone to detect different levels of pressure applied to the screen.
In a nutshell, you can still tap, long-press, pinch and swipe like you have been able to do with the previous eight iPhone models – but now, iOS responds differently when you push harder into the display.

Apple demoed a variety of 3D Touch gestures baked into iOS 9 during the iPhone launch, which also saw the unveiling of the large-screen iPad Pro and refreshed Apple TV.
But the Cupertino company left more than a few surprises littered around its hugely popular operating system just waiting to be 3D Touch'd and discovered.
Here are our favourites –
#1 – Quick Dial in iMessage, or Email
3D Touch brings a slew of shortcuts to iOS that makes calling and messaging much faster.
One of these shortcuts is hidden in the small, circular profile pictures in the list or current conversations in iMessage.

Sports / Chelsea Board Member Reveals The Reason They Sacked Jose Mourinho by NewsNewsBlog: 7:42am On Dec 20, 2015
Emenalo is Chelsea's technical director, and has revealed why Mourinho is no longer manager

MICHAEL EMENALO has revealed that Chelsea sacked Jose Mourinho because of the breakdown of his relationship with the players.

Mourinho was dismissed earlier today as with the champions just a point above the relegation zone, languishing in 16th place.
But Emenalo, the club's technical director, has told Chelsea TV that the dressing room problems played a part
"While there is huge sentiment for the individual who has done so much for the club, the fact of the matter is that Chelsea Football Club is in trouble," said Emenalo.

"The results are not good. There obviously seems to be a palpable discord between the manager and the players and we felt it was time to act.
"The owner is forced to make what is a very trough decision for the good of the club.
"Chelsea is one point above relegation and that's not good enough.

Health / Ovarian Cancer - Study Proves Screening Can Cut Deaths By Nearly 30 Per Cent by NewsNewsBlog: 7:12am On Dec 20, 2015
Screenings could cut deaths by nearly a quarter

SCREENING for ovarian cancer can cut deaths by more than a quarter, a major new study has revealed.

The cancer is the fifth most common in women - around 7,100 are diagnosed with it each year in Britain and it kills more than 4,000.
But because the symptoms of ovarian cancer can be similar to those of other conditions, it can be difficult to recognise and is often spotted too late.
Overall, 72 in 100 will live for at least one year after being diagnosed, around 46 out of 100 will live for at least five years and 35 out of 100 will live for at least 10 years.

But women with advanced ovarian cancer have a poorer survival rate. Six out of 10 will be dead within five years.

Sports / Revealed: Mourinho Begged Abramovich Not To Replace Him With Guardiola After Bei by NewsNewsBlog: 8:08pm On Dec 18, 2015
Jose Mourinho reportedly made Roman Abramovich promise not to hire Pep Guardiola

JOSE MOURINHO requested one thing from Roman Abramovich after being sacked yesterday, according to sensational reports in Spain.

The Portuguese was dismissed by the Blues for a second time as the title-winning side crumbled to 16th in the table.
Chelsea lost 2-1 to Leicester on Monday and Mourinho admitted a place in the top four was no longer possible.
Guus Hiddink is in line to take over until the end of the season and is in London today for talks with Roman Abramovich.

And, according to reports in Spain from Don Balon, Mourinho made Abramovich promise not to hire Pep Guardiola as his replacement.
The report suggests Mourinho sees Chelsea as his home and doesn't want to see his arch nemesis on his bench.
Guardiola is the bookmakers' favourite to take the job at the end of the season - with Ladbrokes pricing him at 2/1 - despite also being linked with the Manchester City and Manchester United role.
Today Guardiola confirmed he had made his mind up on his future and will reveal all at the weekend.

Guud Hiddink is set to take over at Chelsea until the end of the season

GUUS HIDDINK is close to becoming the new Chelsea manager - and has now been spotted in London.

The Dutchman is set to agree a deal to replace Jose Mourinho until the end of the season.
Mourinho was sacked yesterday after losing nine times in the opening 16 Premier League games.
The BBC report that Hiddink is already through the airport gates and is set for talks this afternoon.

Mourinho's second spell in west London came to an end yesterday just four months on from signing a new four-year deal.
But the Blues had spiralled out of control and technical director Michael Emenalo yesterday confirmed that the Portuguese had lost the dressing room and something had to change.
“Anybody, any fan, can understand that this club is in trouble and something had to be done,” said Emenalo.
“The contract clearly signifies that what happened today was not a pre-meditated decision, it was a decision taken to protect the interests of the club.

Laurent Blanc (bottom left) convinced Angel Di Maria to join PSG

ANGEL DI MARIA was contacted by Paris Saint-Germain just days before he went AWOL on Manchester United's pre-season tour.

United had expected Argentine Di Maria to join up with the squad midway through their summer tour of the USA.
But the winger refused to turn up and instead forced through a switch to PSG before the start of the season.
United sold Di Maria for £44million - a loss of £15.7m on the club record fee they paid Real Madrid for the 27-year-old back in 2014.

And Di Maria revealed in an interview with beIN Sports that Blanc phoned him during PSG's own tour of the States and convinced him to quit United.
"The first time we spoke, it was before I signed for PSG," Di Maria said. "This made me very happy.
"It happened the same way when (Jose) Mourinho made me come to Real Madrid. They called me before I spoke with them.

Sports / Champions League Draw: Arsenal Face Barca, Chelsea Meet PSG, Man City Take On Ki by NewsNewsBlog: 3:58pm On Dec 14, 2015
Mourinho, Pellegrini and Wenger all got their sides through the group stage
ARSENAL will face Barcelona in the last 16 of the Champions League.

The Gunners finished second in their group and will host defending European champions Barca in the first leg.
Fellow English sides Chelsea and Manchester City will play Paris Saint-Germain and Dynamo Kiev respectively.
Arsenal went out to Barca at this stage of the 2010/11 campaign, having lost to the same opponents a year before at the quarter-final stage.
They were also on the receiving end of a 2-1 defeat by Barcelona in the 2006 Champions League final.
Arsene Wenger's side had to recover from two early defeats to escape their group behind leaders Bayern Munich.

Chelsea finished top of their group after beating Porto 2-0 last Wednesday.
Blues manager Jose Mourinho is under pressure to get results as his side falter in the Premier League.
They sit 16th in the table after losing eight of 15 top-flight games this season.
Chelsea went out 3-3 on aggregate to PSG at this stage last season.
