LEICESTER’S PREMIER LEAGUE TITLE
In the past few years, the town of Leicester has been a modest city from central Britain with a second division football team, until things started to change. Their football team no longer can be classified as a mid table mediocre team but as a Premiere League winner. Last season Leicester’s “Foxes” won the tournament going against all predictions, which led to unimaginable bets taking place.
For instance, a Hampshire man placed a five-pound bet for Leicester after watching the first match against Sunderland. When the 2015 Premiere League finished, he ended up with 7500£ in his pocket due to his determination. The biggest bet was of 75£ when the odds were 1500/1 he won more than 110.000£. As a result of the odds the betting industry lost more than 20 million.
Expert of the industry like Jessica Bridge from Ladbrokes (British betting company) stated: ”We’ve been in this game for 130 years and we’ve never seen anything like this, it’s a story for the romantics and whilst it’s going to cost us a few quid, we have to thank Claudio Ranieri and his team for upsetting the odds week in, week out over the last nine months”.
Leicester city went against all predictions proving that the impossible can happen. This demonstrates that a low-table team can always surprise all of us.

IPHONE 7 REVIEW
IPHONE 7 REVIEW:
The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are very unusual devices. They are full of aggressive breaks from convention while wrapped in cases that look almost exactly like their two direct predecessors.
Inside that case, everything else about the iPhone 7 is a decisive statement about the future. The dual cameras on the iPhone 7 Plus are proof of the new era in mobile photography. The iconic iPhone home button is no longer a physical button, but instead a sophisticated ballet of pressure sensors and haptic vibration motors that simulate the feel of a button. The new A10 Fusion processor blends two high-power cores that rival laptop performance with two low-power cores that combine with a much larger battery to extend running time by up to two hours.
And, yes, Apple has removed the headphone jack.
Removing the headphone jack is an act of pure confidence from Apple, which is the only company in tech that can set off a sea change in the industry by aggressively dropping various technologies from its products. Apple decides that it’s time to move on, and it has a massive base of customers that love and trust the company who make it happen. And now it’s decided that the headphone jack is over.
After carry out extensive research, it’s clear to me that Apple has considered opinions about how the next generation of phones should fit into our lives. But it’s also clear that the iPhone 7 is a transitional step into the future.

More than just a car-Nissan GTR NISMO Review
The Nissan GTR NISMO, the most powerful of the Nissan models, is
the first car reviewed in this blog. Nissan’s Engineers sure have archieved the apex of car engineering with this not-so pricey supercar. Being the iconic Nissan Skyline GTR’s predecessor, the new GTR project put forward on 2007 did not carry the Skyline badge and opted for a completely new exotic, sporty look.
The NISMO GTR incorporates an impressive 3.8L twin turbo V6 engine, which, altogether with an automatic sequential transmission, brings 600 horsepower to the wheels. With that amount of stock power it cannot be considered driving but flying low. For instance, it has a top speed of 310 km/h and with only 2.7 seconds it reaches 100 km/h with its ferocious acceleration rate. Just as I was saying, flying low.
The exterior is clearly race inspired giving it an aerodynamic and agressive design. The black edition of the car offers an ever more breath taking choice, and every possible option has outstanding airflow and elaborated ends all throughout the machine and its two doors. 
The interior does not fall behind, with its premium leather. For those who love music, they will not be disappointed with the GTR Bose sound system, providing exclusive precise sound. The NISMO seats are not only as comfortable as the best of sofas but avoid bodyroll even on closed curves. The car is one of the only supercars to offer four seats and also incorporates touchscreen media to access different car modes, music and radio, etc.
The performance of the car is simply astonishing, a word suitable enough to describe its brilliance is yet to be discovered. The Nissan GTR NISMO Brembo brakes are smooth and act fast, to reduce acceleration speed at a fast rate. It is of no doubt that the GTR is for agressive, experienced drivers. The gravitational body is extremely low so it is the best option to take a fast curve without fearing it. The fuel mileage in the car is acceptable to fairly good depending on the driving style and how much the drivers floor it. The NISMO suspension is extraodinary and will adapt depending on the terrain to a more hard or smooth configuration.
The Nissan GTR NISMO offers the king of specs a super pricey exotic exterior similar to a Lamborgini and Ferrari for a much more reduced price of 160k, and all in all, it is a car that has all the specs of a super car and is extremely fun to drive. It goes without saying that it will catch the eyes of all that hear the spectacular roar of its exhaust.
