Will you Race for Life in Basildon this Father's Day?

WOMEN across south Essex are being urged to remember their loved ones this Father’s Day by taking part in Race for Life in Basildon.
The annual fundraising 5km event will be held in Gloucester Park on Father’s Day, on Sunday, June 18, to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
The event will be particularly poignant as women gather to race in memory of their loved ones.
Race for Life’s Essex event manager Gill Burgess, said: “Life-saving research is being funded right now thanks to the women of Basildon running, jogging or walking at Race for Life.
“Our participants play a crucial role in helping to turn discoveries made in the lab into better treatments for patients in Essex and across the UK.”
There will also be a 5km Pretty Muddy obstacle course held on Saturday, June 17, with ten different obstacles to conquer on the way around.
Gill added: “By taking part in Race for Life, women in Basildon can help raise funds for crucial research.
“Participants can choose to walk, jog or run around the course. Whether they’re planning a 5k amble with friends, a 10k run or a mud-splattered dash around the Pretty Muddy obstacle course, it’s not about being first over the finish line - it’s the taking part that counts.”
This Bank Holiday Monday women are being offered a special £5 discount on the adult entry fees for both the Race for Life and Pretty Muddy.
The reduced prices are for one day only, on Monday, using the discount code 5OFFMAY.
To enter either event visit raceforlife.org or call 0300 123 0770.

KICKSTARTER: Sequent Supercharger Self Charging Smart Watch We thought we would kickstart the week, (no pun intended…or was it?) with a look at the Sequent Supercharger, the first self-winding, self-charging, cable-free smartwatch. It’s a Kickstarter funded smart watch designed by Swiss designer Adrian Buchmann that has even traditional watch purists sitting up and paying attention for it does for the smart watch what Seiko did for the analog watch many years ago. It runs on kinetic energy and is therefore completely cable free. The more you move around, the faster it charges. The watch is made by Swiss watchmakers, designers and engineers who have teamed up with the best partners in each manufacturing sector. The 42mm watch is being funded energetically too. With 9 days still to go, the Sequent Supercharger has been pledged CHF617,168 from an CHF 80,000 goal. Because you generate the energy for the watch yourself, it is 100% clean energy, and the watch includes the latest

Too many exams, too little sport: experts discuss barriers to participation Children today are 'too busy' for sport, experts have argued. Photo: Caters By Rosa Silverman 4:06PM BST 09 Aug 2012 :: Lack of understanding of sports by teachers Not every PE teacher understands every sport. Some sports, such as hockey, may appear too complicated to teachers, who are consequently deterred from teaching them, according to England Hockey. “Hockey is sometimes seen as a technical sport because of all the rules,” Holly Woodford, the organisation’s development director, said. “People do not always understand why the umpire’s blowing the whistle when they watch it. We have tried to make it easier for teachers to teach hockey in schools by launching packages to explain the game to them.” Only half of all secondary schools teach the sport, partly due to limited budgets, she said. It is cheaper to buy one football for 30 pupils than 30 hockey sticks. But the
