She is voluptuous and doesn’t enter the category of model with perfect 36″-24″-36″ shape. However, she has been featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition – which obviously means that a large proportion of men consider her extremely hot…

Kate Upton can brag about her voluptuous forms, but not needing to about having a super thin waist. As a model, aged 19 she didn’t have that ‘must have’ hourglass shaped body ‘considered ideal’ it certainly didn’t stop her modeling career. They consider her one of the sexiest women of the moment.

She was called fat and vulgar, and she was criticised by Victoria ‘s Secret, labeled an “obvious” escort, but model Kate Upton defies critics and the fashion industry, and currently makes millions of pounds showing her body in a bikini.

Her name is Adele Laurie Blue Adkins and she was born on May 5, 1988; she ‘woke up’ overnight a singer after a friend of hers uploaded a track onto MySpace in 2006, an example of several demo songs from Adele’s impressive voice.

Within two years she had won two awards: one in 2007 at the Brit Awards and BBC Sound of 2008. Her debut album was released in 2008 and went four times platinum, and the second album was released in 2011 and received in the UK and USA. Adele is the first artist who has sold more than 3 million albums in the UK.

The singer was born in Tottenham and began singing at the age of 4. She said the Spice Girls band made a mark on her life and she turned it into music. The time when Adele made her move and truly believed in becoming a star was when she saw Pink playing at Brixton Academy. Two months after graduating from high school, Adele released two songs; and three other songs were recorded for a project and she gave them to a friend who took courage and posted them on MySpace. That was the moment when Virgin Records asked about her. Adele canceled some tournaments to be with her ex-boyfriend. “I got so drunk by the time I went on at 2 a.m. I had forgotten the words to my own songs … It was the worst thing ever”. Madness and frustration of this relationship made her to release the album “21″ and Rolling in the Deep lyrics are more than suggestive.

In June, Adele announced her pregnancy on her official site. Adele’s next album will be different from the previous album. Adele will not sing about failed romantic relationships, but about pregnancy.

This week in PC World Magazine we are looking at the amazing ‘ultrabook revolution’ – laptops are undergoing a massive and radical change, with the latest releases of ultrabooks pushing the boundaries of technological efficiency and design.

Major IT manufacturers have finally decided to complete their market offering with Ultrabooks. Apple did this a long time ago at almost 4 years ago with the truly amazing result of the MacBook Air.

What is the difference between an Ultrabook and a Laptop or a Netbook? An Ultrabook is a 2, 3 or 4 times thinner than a laptop, often using a new processor from Intel such as the Intel Ultrabook (TM), which is up to 10 times faster than an Intel Pentium for example and is built especially for Ultrabook’s and has a more attractive design.

An Ultrabook is basically a thinner and more powerful laptop. Using faster and smaller processors but also built to consume less power. Batteries can last between 8-10 hours, with almost instant restarts on power up.

At first glance, Acer, Asus, Lenovo and Toshiba are very similar. With a closer look you can see different materials used as well as differing setups or power and processing. Technical configuration is now more important than ever to the consumer. All the top four manufacturers have used the aluminum casing as styled originally by Apple. Acer and Toshiba choose to use more accessible materials for keyboard and innards – this way offering much lower prices. Lenovo remains focused on the standard business design, wheras Asus have gone with an effective polished aluminum interior style modern design.

To beat the classic laptop, the ultrabook relies not only on the image, but also on performance. But is that enough? It took four years to Apple to get to the Macbook Air. It is clear now that the Ultrabooks has started a revolution in a tech world dominated by notebooks until recently, but this slim and agile platform promises more. Read more about it in this issue of PCWorld, which is now available as an iPad magazine and a digital magazine subscription.

This month in Alaska magazine takes a look at the incredible wilderness of the Denali National Park, and admires the beauty of Alaska in Autumn.

Although there are not established borders to divide Alaska, it is accepted that Alaska contains six delimited regions; the south-central, south-eastern interior, south-west, north and Aleutiene Islands. The most significant region is represented by the inner region which is almost uninhabited apart from ‘Fairbanks’ which is one of the only human settlements of significant size.

In Native Athabaskan language, Denali means “the high”, making reference to the a large mountain in this area. The Denali National Park size is 24.500 km², and the habitat consists of mixed forests and taiga at the lower altitudes, tundra and glaciers at the average heights and snow and rocks in the upper parts at the high altitudes.

In this part of Alaska, [Denali] there is a variety of birds and mammals including quite large populations of grizzly and black bears as well as large populations of deer roaming the entire park. Despite human intervention in the area, populations of gray wolves were able to become established here in Denali.

The Denali National Park is also a vast conservation area with the rank of a ‘Biosphere Reserve’ and also where you can find the highest mountain in North America, McKinley, an abrupt colossus, whose peaks covered by snow and ice rises up to 6200m. This majestic mountain crowns the 1,000 km of mountain chain that crosses Alaska and acts as a real barrier, right in the way of the humid air masses coming from the Pacific Ocean. A wonderful place to explore, I hope this gives you a taste of what you could find.

Luxury private aircrafts always make a sensation wherever they appear. Business people who own a private jet often spend over $ 1.5 million just for the interior decoration in their aircraft, which often are padded in cashmere with plated gold accessories and with high quality leather trim. These interior decors are often more expensive than the aircraft itself. Crazy.

Recently Boeing announced that the first aircraft 747-8 was delivered to a private buyer, the 747-8 is the larger version of the classic aircraft which can accommodate 467 passengers on two floors. The customer will be able to equip the aircraft with everything they want, the only limit is their imagination to fill the 444 square meters available.

Let’s see few examples:
1. Nicolas Sarkozy equipped his presidential plane with a small cinema, and a few ‘ovens’ at a cost of 75,000 euros each.
2. Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian president, equipped his aircraft Ilyushin II-96PU with baths containing gold bidets and sinks.
3. The magnate Donald Trump has a Boeing 757 aircraft that includes a shower and numerous gold plated items.
4. Actor John Travolta has a private plane Boeing 707 that contains a sitting room with sofas, wood paneling and tables for dinner.
5. Saudi Prince: But the most ambitious project of all belongs to Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, which has not yet been delivered. He has requested an Airbus A380 superjumbo. It would contain a garage for his cars, stairs like in the biggest movies, a concert hall and five large bedrooms. Unreal.
