  GAMING IN FIGURES 
  
  Texting (78 per cent), calls (67 per cent) and taking photos (32 per cent) emerged as the top
  uses for cells, but playing games (30 per
  cent) beat social media (27 per cent), email (23 per cent) and listening to music
  (13 per cent).
  
  Most people (34 per cent) play seven days a week, with puzzle-solving the most popular genre, followed by
  action, social, quiz and sports.
  
  The bedroom is the most popular location for mobile gaming (68 per cent), ahead of the bathroom (53 per cent)
  and the workplace (39 per cent). 
  
  
  The poll of 1,000 US mobile gamers by GuruArcade.com also

  and will spend a little over a half an hour a day,
  four days a week, trying to improve their highest score on their favorite gaming
  app.

  One in seven spends over ten hours each week with their
  eyes glued to their phones playing a game.
  
  It also emerged that casual gamers typically download
  two new gaming apps on their device each month.
  
  
  Sam Cross of Guru Arcade, makers of mobile game
  Pop Rocket Rescue, said: 'You can play a mobile game anytime, anywhere,
  since smartphones are so portable.
  
  
  
  
  Forty-one percent of people have played a mobile game for up to three
  hours in one sitting.
  
  
  
  TEN BIGGEST SELLING GAMES 
  
  1. Candy Crush Saga
  
  2. Angry Birds
  
  3. Words with Friends
  
  4. Clash of Clans
  
  5. Plants vs. Zombies
  
  6. The Walking Dead
  
  7. Fruit Ninja
  
  8. Real Racing 2
  
  9. Where's My Water
  
  10. Draw Something 
  
  
  'Mobile games are designed to be played in small chunks of time, while waiting
  or taking a break. It's bite-sized fun.'
  
  The average person is most likely to play a mobile game between 1pm and 2pm,
  although one in five plays 'any time' of the day and one in eight prefers to play between the hours
  of 9pm and midnight.
  
  Forty-one percent have played a mobile game for up to three
  hours in one sitting.
  
  Eighty-one percent can't resist the fun these games provide
  and 42 percent play because it's exercise for the brain - but
  their fun can sometimes mean 'game over' in a different sense.
  
  
  From getting fired from work, to arriving late or completely missing
  an event, 27 per cent confess that their mobile game playing has
  gotten them into trouble. 
  
  In the UK, an Ofcom study recently found 16 per cent of
  adults now exclusively use smartphones or tablets to go
  online, a 10 per cent increase on last year.
  
  
  AMERICA'S INTERNET ADDICTION 
  
  One-fifth of all Americans reported to being on the internet 'almost constantly',
  with young adults making up the largest percentage of this category.
  
  
  The majority of Americans - 73 per cent - indicated that they go online
  on a daily basis, and many go on several times per day.
  
  
  A Pew Research Center survey collected data
  from internet users between June and July 2015, and confirmed that Americans are constantly logging in.
  
  Young people are the most connected; the study found that 36
  per cent of people ages 18 to 29 are online almost constantly, and 50 per cent go on several times per day.
  
  
  Teens and adults were found to share similar internet habits, with
  24 percent of teenagers reporting almost constant use, and adults coming in at a similar figure.  
  
  
  The study also found half of adults (51 per cent) who use
  search engines do not realise the top items on many results
  pages are adverts or sponsored links. 
  
  The figures are from Ofcom's Adults' Media
  Use And Attitudes Report. 
  
  'This indicates these devices are not just supplementing PCs and laptops, but are starting to replace them,' the regulator said.
  
  
  'There is a need for people to be more aware or savvy about the content they are
  accessing online'.

  Another Chelsea win, another moment to illustrate the superhuman brilliance of N'Golo Kante.
  
  
  Shortly before half-time, Kante did something almost unthinkable - he miscontrolled the ball, sending it flying off 15 yards
  in front of him towards the corner.
  
  Most players would have given it up for a goal kick then and there, forcing
  a sheepish smile as the crowd cheered ironically. Not Kante.
  
  
  
  
  
  N'Golo Kante produced another brilliant performance as Chelsea beat West Ham
  2-1 
  
  
  
  
  
  The French midfielder has shown consistent excellent throughout the season
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Chelsea have re-established their 10-point advantage at the
  top of the Premier League

  The Chelsea midfielder sprinted off in pursuit, rescued the lost cause, made Sofiane
  Feghouli look like a dunce twice, and played a perfect pass to the feet of
  Eden Hazard.
  
  Naturally, the 10-second clip went viral on social media.
  'Kante's so good, he has started playing passes to himself,' joked the disbelieving masses.
  
  
  Even manager Antonio Conte dissolved into a fit of laughter when asked
  whether he could find any fault with Kante's performance.
  
  
  'He made five mistakes. He has to improve on this. He has to improve,' said the Italian with tongue in cheek.
  
  
  
  'I am joking. But I have to find one situation to tell him to improve.
  He's playing really well.'
  
  
  
  
  Chelsea manager Antonio Conte joked afterwards there
  is room for Kante to improve

  Playing so well, in fact, that the (almost) unimprovable Kante must surely clean up at the Player of the Year awards between now and the
  end of the season.
  
  As Chelsea re-established a double-figure advantage at the top of the Premier League following
  their 2-1 win at the London Stadium, their goalscorers Hazard and Diego Costa are inevitably in the running for the
  gongs.
  
  It's a whole lot harder to earn recognition in such things
  when you don't score goals or ping 60-yard passes, but Kante is deserving for the consistent excellence he continues to
  show.
  
  Let's look at the stats. Kante has made 94 tackles in his 26 Premier League games this
  season, the second highest in the division behind Everton's Idrissa Gueye (102).
  
  
  
  
  
  Kante ranks among the Premier League's best tacklers and
  interceptors this season

  A woman who married her high school bully has opened up about how he ultimately won her heart after tormenting her for months
  as a teen by calling her mean names and posting nasty things about
  her online.
  
  Lauren Enslow, 20, from Saratoga Springs, Utah,
  has fallen in love with Lucas Olsen, 21 - despite the fact that he and his friends relentlessly bullied her when she was just 15. 
  
  Lucas and his pals would mock Lauren by calling her 'Linda' - after the cartoon character from Bob's Burgers - and he would
  even take videos of her at school and share them to
  his Snapchat while making fun of her.
  
  But after Lauren got into a car accident in November 2017, Lucas reached out with words of sympathy for
  her - sparking a friendship between them that would soon turn into something much more. 
  
  The duo realized in February 2018 that they had romantic feelings for one another, and they quickly began dating.

  Lauren Enslow, 20, from Saratoga Springs, Utah, has fallen in love with
  Lucas Olsen, 21 - despite the fact that he and his friends relentlessly bullied her when she was just 15
  
  
  
  
  
  Lucas and his pals would mock Lauren by calling her 'Linda' - after the
  cartoon character from Bob's Burgers - and he would even take videos of her at school and share them to his Snapchat
  
  Lucas then proposed to Lauren on top of a mountain in July 2022, and they tied the knot in October of the same year - the same date that they met six years prior.
  
  
  And now that they are husband and wife, there's no hard feelings about the rocky start to their romance,
  with Lauren insisting that all has been forgiven.
  
  'It's funny that I can call him my high school bully
  and high school sweetheart,' Lauren, who works as a content creator, said
  recently. 'I have forgiven him. I'll still tease him about it sometimes.'
  
  While Lauren admitted that she 'hated him' when they were younger, she said that a 'soft spot' developed after they got in touch following her
  accident.
  
  'We ended up developing feelings for each other,
  ' she explained. 'People say they would never have forgiven him, but I can't base his personality
  off who he was for three months when he was 16.'
  
  Lucas added: 'Looking back now I just think it
  was silly. When you are that young you think things like
  that are funny. And of course, me and my friends thought it was funny.
  
  
  'I never actually thought she looked like that
  cartoon character, my friends and I were just coming up with characters to compare Lauren and
  all her friends to as a joke, that ended up going a little too
  far.
  
  'I teased her because in the moment I think
  it was a mix of [liking] her and because my
  friends were doing it as well. Peer pressure in a way.'

  And now that they are husband and wife, there's no hard feelings about the rocky
  start to their romance, with Lauren insisting that all has been forgiven
  
  The pair first met in October 2016, at a mutual friend's party, and they started chatting over Snapchat.
  
  
  However, Lauren decided she that didn't want a boyfriend at the time and ultimately shut him down.
  
  But when she started high school in September 2017, she and Lucas found each
  other in the same friend group, and the nonstop teasing soon ensued.
  
  
  'It was really awkward for me,' she said.
  'Him and his friends started to tease me. He used to call me Linda from Bob's Burgers and I didn't
  like being compared to her at all.
  
  'Lucas would film me and put it on his Snapchat without me knowing.
  
  At this point, I hated him. I wanted nothing to do
  with him.'
  
  But things changed after Lucas witnessed Lauren getting into a car accident in November 2017, alongside her mom Jessica Enslow,
  48, and sister, Alyssa Kimber, 28.
  
  'We were in a parking lot and saw him,' Lauren recalled. 'My
  sister thought it was funny to roll down the window and
  call out his name.
  
  'Seconds later we were in a car crash. No one was seriously
  injured by the cars were messed up.'
  
  
  
  
  While Lauren admitted that she 'hated him' when they were younger,
  she said that a 'soft spot' developed after they got in touch following her
  accident
  
  
  
  
  
  After the accident, the pair 'started hanging out and having lots of fun,' and they
  eventually started to fall for one another
  
  Lauren shared a picture of the banged up car on her Snapchat, and
  was surprised when Lucas reached out.
  
  
  
  
  Now, they are happily married and 'excited' for what the future holds
  
  'He asked if I was OK. It showed he cared, it helped me like him
  again,' she added.

  they are happily married and 'excited' for what the
  future holds.
  
  'People say they could never marry their high school bully, but for me,
  it was mostly teasing, and I got past it,' Lauren concluded
  
  Lucas added: 'There was always feelings for her but I think once
  we both were wanting the same thing, life just did it's thing.
  
  
  'I'm a strong believer of everything happens
  for a reason and I love that it finally happened.
  
  'Marrying your high school sweetheart is the most beautiful thing I could ever dream for.
  
  
  'Lauren is awesome and I couldn't ask for a better person to experience the rest of my life with. 
  
  'I want a family with Lauren, I'm excited to build a house and watch the rest of our dreams come
  true.'
