Yes, losing weight is easy for her, but she also has to focus on staying healthy and in the best shape possible, for which reason she makes sure she works out a lot. Losing weight and being fit for the catwalk are two different things, Ambrosio explains for the aforementioned publication. After giving birth to her baby girl last year, the model had little problems with shifting a few extra pounds, but now that she’s preparing for the upcoming annual Victoria’s Secret show, when the new collection premieres, she has to work out â€" a lot â€" while also paying a lot of attention to her diet. “Last year, because I had a baby and I had to lose pounds, I did a lot of cardio. This year is all about weights, !
squats and lunges.†Ambrosio tells People of her efforts of always staying in top shape. “After I gave birth, my diet was a very healthy diet, like no sugar, no bread. But now, I am just eating whatever. I’m working out to prepare for the show because it’s our biggest show of t...

Among the many enhancements that Windows 7 brings to the table is the evolution of graphical user interfaces and natural user interfaces as far as Windows clients are concerned. One of the key aspects of this evolution is the Ribbon/Fluent graphical user interface. Microsoft introduced the Ribbon GUI for the first time with the advent of the Office 2007 System. With the release of Windows 7, the Redmond company is looking to make Ribbon pervasive throughout the operating system. To aid this precise scope, Microsoft has made available for download Windows Ribbon: Samples. “Demonstrates the markup and code (written in C++) required to implement a very simple Win32 application with a Ribbon, with options to output various Ribbon Framework callbacks to a console window,†the company explained.

Health experts constantly issue warnings on the dangers of tanning beds and how they considerably increase chances of developing skin cancer even if used in moderation and with all precautions taken. Sam Laing, a 23-year-old woman from the UK, has learned the hard way that cancer is not the only enemy that comes with the use of sunbeds, as she’s currently suffering from a condition that could cost her her eyesight for not using goggles in the ten years she has been a “tanorexic,†as the Daily Mail informs. Laing discovered tanning beds at the age of 13 and, since then, she’s been getting up on one to have brown, “sunkissed†skin for up to three times a week. She’s what is known as a “tanorexic,†and she’s also the first to admit to it.

Previously, I stated that Risen was a challenging game only to later on reconsider my opinion and admit that I did find it difficult. Now I find myself saying that it has become easy. This could be because I'm a relatively chaotic person under my calm, charming exterior but it's more likely because the game has a difficulty curve like a pin on top of a ball of yarn. It may be up high now, but as soon as a cat comes and gives the ball a nudge, you end up on the bottom only to rise again and repeat the cycle endlessly. In the beginning you get a knife to fight all the wildlife and arrogant people you come across. And as long as you play it cool and learn the weakness in everyone's attack, you'll be fine. But then you're expected to do the same thing, with the same gear and skills but against an army. Solitary animals are now longer found and it seems like every animal on the face of this island decided to hold hands and form a social club. It may be rewarding to finally def!

Canadian mobile phone operator Bell has just lowered the price tag for the Palm Pre, which has been available in its offering for about two months now, to $149.95 upon the signing of a one-year contract agreement with the Wireless carrier. The new price tag emerged soon after the Palm Pre became available for purchase in Europe, and follows a series of price cuts the device had seen previously. Bell Canada launched the Palm Pre on its airwaves back in August, when the phone was priced at $199.95 upon the signing of a three year contract agreement, but Canadians also had the chance to purchase it for $449.95 on a two-year service agreement, for $549.95 with a one-year contract, or for $599.95 with no contract. According to mobilesyrup, the demand for the Palm Pre seems to have been high, especially since the price tag was appealing. However, retailers started lowering the price for the device soon after the initial availability in Canada, and Walmart was the first one to !

Far from it, as Rolling Stone can confirm. “Lambertitis†is taking over the world and “Time for Miracles†is the first step in the right direction, music critics say.

But while the focus on the Internet/Cloud continues to increase, the relevance and importance of browsers in end user scenarios becomes critical. Mozilla, just as other browser developers, is foraying into the future of browsing, and reveals that the browsers will need to evolve in order to become user-centric, you-centric, more specifically. In the video embedded at the bottom of this article you will be able to see Aza Raskin, Head of User Experience for Mozilla Labs, speaking on Mozilla’s perspective of where browsers are heading. Already Mozilla Labs has a few research projects in development that offer a clue as to what the Firefox of the future might look like. “We’ve been thinking at Mozilla Labs about what it means for the web to be more personal, more social, and more about you.

It’s time to bring some ‘80s rock chic to the Mango look, and this is what Scarlett Johansson is here for. The “Iron Man 2†star, also one of the hottest women in showbiz at the moment, has officially become the face of the latest Mango collection with the unveiling of the new promo campaign, as Fashion United can confirm. The change in model also comes accompanied by a change in style, as the ads clearly show. Shot by photographer Mario Sorrenti, they reveal that Winter 09/10 comes with a shift in terms of palette and style. For starters, the soft, bland colors of autumn (like beige and delicate browns) will be replaced by stronger shades of blue and mauve, the classic black and a spot of silver here and there. The style also changes from classic to ‘80s-inspired rock chic, while continuing to stress elegance. “The campaign was shot in a Los Angeles studio under the direction of acclaimed photographer Mario Sorrenti.

For a long time, scientists have been curious as to whether knowing more than one language has a positive effect on the brain, or if it benefits thinking patterns. A large number of studies on the issue was carried out, but the conclusions were mixed. Now, a new work done by a European Commission-appointed group brings forth solid evidence that this is indeed the case, AlphaGalileo reports. “The research report brings forth six main areas where multilingualism and hence the mastery of complex processes of thought seem to put people in advantage. These include learning in general, complex thinking and creativity, mental flexibility, interpersonal and communication skills, and even a possible delay in the onset of age-related mental diminishment later in life,†Jyvaskyla University Continuing Professional Development Center specialized planner David Marsh explains.

HTTP:: Microsoft Killing Silverlight Streaming Windows Live Beta
--------
The Microsoft Silverlight Streaming service will never make it to its third anniversary. The Redmond company is working on discontinuing Silverlight Streaming by Windows Live Beta and has announced that it will eventually shut down the service entirely. No specific deadline for the death of Silverlight Streaming was offered at this point in time, as the software giant provided more of a heads up to all customers that had leveraged the offering for the past couple of years. At the same time, the Redmond company announced that it was working on a new service, designed to replace much of the functionality of Silverlight Streaming, but which will be built around Windows Azure, and will not be free as was the case of its pseudo-precursor. “A new Windows Azure-based hosting and delivery service will be launched by the end of 2009, though this is not a direct replacement for Silverlight Streaming and will have costs associated with its use,†Microsoft stated. “Key dates an!

Adding up to the company's previously-launched Two Hundred, Three Hundred, Nine Hundred and Twelve Hundred, the new Antec Six Hundred is expected to become available soon.

Spotify has been doing well drawing in new users but it has to expand its revenue streams if it wants to actually become profitable at some point. Ad revenue can only get you so far and users have been reluctant to move up to the paid premium subscription but the mobile area looks a lot more promising. The service already offers dedicated apps for the iPhone, Android and S60 devices but now it's announcing a new mobile option with a twist, albeit a rather predictable one, as it's partnering with 3UK to offer the service bundled with their HTC Hero handset with a two-year contract. Users will pay £99 ($161) for the phone, the first Android-powered device offered by the network, and £35 ($57) per month for two years and will get all the Spotify they can handle, on their phone but also on their PC, with the unlimited premium subscription. The contract includes 750 mobile minutes, unlimited texting and data and Skype-to-Skype calls. Spotify's premium service comes in at £9!

Experts from the Thomas Jefferson University (TJU) Jefferson Headache Center have recently announced in a new study that people usually suffering from migraines experience hangover headaches more harshly than those who do not suffer from the condition.

The find will be presented at the Neuroscience 2009 conference, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience, held in Chicago, Illinois, e! Science News reports. The reason why this line of research was not possible before is that creating animal models that suffer from headaches was extremely difficult. In the new experiments, researchers at the Center managed to create a rat model that fitted the requirements. The rodent was made to feel headaches by repeated stimulation of the dura mater with an inflammatory mixture, over weeks and months. In charge of the studies has been TJU Ass!

The Valley of the Kings, on the banks of the Nile River, opposite to the ancient city of Thebes, is the necropolis where all pharaohs and nobles from the New Kingdom (16th to 11th century BC) were entombed. For over 500 years, numerous funeral monuments were built at the location. Since it began being explored, the Valley has yielded phenomenal finds and has considerably furthered our knowledge of ancient Egypt. Now, the necropolis is endangered by the fact that most of the structures are built atop rock-fracture concentrations underground, e! Science News reports. When ancient Egyptian builders set out to construct the monuments, they might have purposefully built them atop these dangerous areas, because the limestone was a lot easier to carve at those locations. However, while that may have been appropriate thousands of years ago, it now poses a large number of challenges to curators, whose job is to keep the structures intact. “Previously, I noticed that some tomb !

HTTP:: Jon Gosselin Exploits Kids for Own Interest Papers Say
--------
On Friday, reportedly after several attempts to settle the matter outside a court of law, TLC, the network producing and carrying the “Jon & Kate Plus 8†reality show, filed a lawsuit against Jon Gosselin for breach of contract. In court documents, the network argues that Jon is using his children as “pawns†for his own interest, namely that of getting out of the exclusive contract it has with TLC, it has emerged, according to People magazine. Jon Gosselin wants out of his contract with TLC, for which reason he stopped production on the show after he was nearly excluded from it, and it was renamed “Kate Plus 8.†The basis on which he managed to block the once-successful show from filming was that he felt his eight children were being exploited in front of the cameras. Therefore, as a concerned parent, he had every right to ask for production to be halted, which is exactly what happened. However, it’s Jon himself who’s exploiting the children, TLC now s!

HTTP:: Crystals to Boost Computer Memories 100 Fold
--------
Experts from the University of Edinburgh, in the UK, have recently announced that very small crystals may hold the key to making the computers of tomorrow able to hold up to 100 times more data than existing systems. The team has been involved in trying to produce salt crystals in gel, using advanced laser technology, in the hope of boosting storage capacities in desktop computers for a few years, the BBC News reports. The goal is to enable users to store a terabyte of data within the space of a sugar cube within the next years. This would be sufficient memory to store in excess of 250,000 photos, or about one million electronic books, experts believe. The reason why creating such memories is so difficult is the fact that many scientists look at producing crystals from salt within gels as a “black art.†The process is notoriously difficult to control and, if one variable remains unaccounted for, then the end-result does not fit the specifications and demands.

Reality-television star and expectant mommy Kourtney Kardashian has become the latest victim of a burglary over the weekend, when her Calabasas, California home was broken in. Expensive jewelry was taken, including a few vintage items that Kardashian had inherited from her late father, the police tell People magazine. Reports say Kourtney was out for dinner with her partner and father of her baby, Scott Disick, and only discovered the break-in when they returned home at around 8.30 in the evening on Saturday night. However, other reports claim she was in Las Vegas, where the entire Kardashian clan had been out partying. What is certain until now, though, is that Kourtney is now $100,000 worth of jewelry short. “Approximately $108,000 in jewelry was stolen Saturday from Kardashian’s Calabasas, Calif. home, Los Angeles County Sheriff Sgt.

According to a team of experts from the University of Warwick, it may be that using the transition metallic elements Ruthenium and Osmium could lead to the creation of new and improved drugs for conditions such as colon and ovarian cancer. The new drugs may be especially effective against cancerous cells that have already developed immunity to other therapies, the scientists add. Their work is detailed in the latest issue of the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, e! Science News reports. Ovarian cancer cells are, for example, currently fought with the drug Cisplatin, which is the most successful transition metal form of therapy created. It relies on the metal platinum, but it can be ineffective against cancer, in that some cells become resistant to its effect, rendering the entire treatment useless. In instances where this has happened, medicine relying on Osmium and Ruthenium seems to cause a significant cell death, increasing a patient's chances of recovery. “Ruthenium !

Round Rock, Texas-based Dell, one of the world's top PC vendors, is preparing to launch its new Adamo laptop, which is said to be the world's thinnest portable computer system, boasting just 0.39 inches at its thinnest point. The laptop, which has been announced for quite a while now, is due out on October 22, the same day that Microsoft is expected to launch its much-anticipated Windows 7 operating system. Â Dell has been teasing with the Adamo XPS since early September, coming as an update to the company's new line of Adamo laptops, which debuted early this year. Up to this moment, the company has been very secretive regarding the exact specifications of the new machine, but it is expected to announce a full list of specifications, prices and availability on October 22, which is three days from now. Â However, according to a couple of leaked details that have surfaced on the Internet, the laptop will boast a thickness of just 0.39 inches and it will cost about US$2,000.!
In addition, one of the most interesting things we have found out about the upcoming Adamo laptop comes from a recent news-article in Business Week, where the system is said to boast a heat-sensing strip. Apparentl...

Round Rock, Texas-based Dell, one of the world's top PC vendors, is preparing to launch its new Adamo laptop, which is said to be the world's thinnest portable computer system, boasting just 0.39 inches at its thinnest point. The laptop, which has been announced for quite a while now, is due out on October 22, the same day that Microsoft is expected to launch its much-anticipated Windows 7 operating system. Â Dell has been teasing with the Adamo XPS since early September, coming as an update to the company's new line of Adamo laptops, which debuted early this year. Up to this moment, the company has been very secretive regarding the exact specifications of the new machine, but it is expected to announce a full list of specifications, prices and availability on October 22, which is three days from now. Â However, according to a couple of leaked details that have surfaced on the Internet, the laptop will boast a thickness of just 0.39 inches and it will cost about US$2,000.!
In addition, one of the most interesting things we have found out about the upcoming Adamo laptop comes from a recent news-article in Business Week, where the system is said to boast a heat-sensing strip. Apparentl...

Google is one of the largest web companies around yet it makes most of its revenue, about 97 percent, from advertising. There's still potential growth in advertising, especially as the market is picking up, but Google is looking for new revenue streams and is making quite an effort going for the enterprise software and services market. Its Google Apps suite has seen some success with businesses and the company ran an extensive marketing campaign in August promoting it in the US. Now it's expanding the campaign worldwide but it's also making some small but important changes to the tone and, consequently, some of the facts. Google's Apps suite offers some collaboration features that some of the traditional office suites can't really match but on the whole it can't match their features and functionality yet.

Whitney performed one of her recent singles, the up-tempo “Million Dollar Bill,†and, despite a somewhat embarrassing wardrobe malfunction, she put on an amazing show. It wasn’t until the end of it, when the interview started, that things got awkward, as the Telegraph informs. Whitney took to the stage in a silver, sparkly, floor-length dress that she had to lift off the ground in order to move around. Yet, she did not let that stop her from dancing and showing the audience and the viewers at home that she did not and would never need sophisticated dance moves to “feel†the music.

Scientists at the University of Illinois reveal that small, mechanical forces applied to embryonic stem-cell cultures may have the ability to drastically influence the structures' differentiation process. This essentially means that applying various types of mechanical stress on the cultures during this stage could lead to different types of end-result cells. Two of the research fields that could directly benefit from this knowledge are regenerative medicine and therapeutic cloning, the team reports. “Our results suggest that small forces may indeed play critical roles in inducing strong biological responses in embryonic stem cells, and in shaping embryos during their early development,†University of Illinois Professor of Mechanical Science and Engineering Ning Wang explains.

A series of photos that seem to feature said Android-based Dragon have emerged into the wild now, following previously leaked images with the handset's ROM, and showing us what to expect from the phone when it will come to the market.

Pingie: HTTP:: New Crystal Contains Both Light and Vibrations
HTTP:: New Crystal Contains Both Light and Vibrations
--------
Guiding light through optical fibers was never something easy to do, and the communication industry has been using photonic crystals â€" specially patterned materials â€" for the job since the early days. In mobile phones, unwanted frequencies are screened out using similar materials, called phononic crystals, which are able to manipulate mechanical vibrations. Now, for the first time, a group of scientists has learned how to combine the two in one, creating a type of crystal that is able to store both light and mechanical vibrations, Nature News reports. The new “optomechanical†innovation was created at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), by a team of scientists led by expert Oskar Painter. It can control, trap and guide light and vibrations, a trait that could see it being used for constructing more accurate biosensors, creating interfaces for devices on a chip, and also for creating cooling mechanisms for testing quantum limits. The two types of cr!
ystals that were combined for the innovation perform very different tasks in real life, but Painter says that their structures are remarkably similar to each other. “If you make one type of crystal, you almost automatically make the other type,†he explains. This knowledge, the expert reveals, was not put to ...
