Project Spartan Renamed To Edge In Latest Windows Build

Project Spartan was the work-in-progress name for the upcoming Microsoft web browser, which should replace the old-school Internet Explorer in Windows 10. The updated Edge browser now brings back the Home key, supports import/export bookmarks, password autofill, drag and drop tab support, a new dark theme available, among other stuff.

The new build of Windows 10 also improves on Cortana, Office, Photos app, Snipping Tool, and general system-wide UX enhancements.

Uber Launches UberBOAT Boat Hiring Service

Uber, the popular ride-sharing company, has really been extending its business lately. Besides launching in more and more countries around the world, it has also been branching out in often odd ways, like the UberEATS food delivery service in Barcelona.

Uber is launching yet another odd sub-service. It is called UberBOAT and the name mostly gives it away. The idea is centered around the Bosporus strait in Istanbul and utilizing certain local boats as a water-taxi service. Uber is actually already running similar services in other locations, under the very same name. The business partner in question is Navette-Tezman Holding – a local company that owns Beneteau boats, situated on the strait.

The Istanbul UberBoat service will start at 50 liras ($19) for boats with a capacity of 7 to 10 passengers. Bear in mind, however, that the metropolis is so huge that it actually spans between Asia and Europe and a trip to the main airport can cost as much as 400 liras. But, perhaps, pricing won’t deter a lot of commuters, especially those in a hurry to get away from the harsh inner-city traffic.

EU Agrees To End Roaming Charges In 2-Years

The EU has agreed to abolish roaming charges from June 2017. That means that as long as you're travelling within the 28 member countries, you'll be able to make calls, send texts and surf the web without paying any extra than you would at home.

From April 2016, networks will only be able to charge an extra €0.05 per minute of calls made, €0.02 per text message sent and €0.05 per MB of data used, all before tax. Three has taken the lead with its Feel at Home service. This lets you call and text home numbers and surf the web while abroad at no extra charge.

More impressively than the EU's stance, it works as far afield as the US and Australia, though not everywhere in Europe, or anywhere in South America or Africa. The EU also passed new legislation on net neutrality.

Jeremy Renner: Gay Rumors Don’t Bother Me

As one of the handsomest hunks in Hollywood, Jeremy Renner seems to constantly be targeted by romance rumors, including both male and female partners. The “American Hustle” star told Playboy that while he’s not gay, he’s also not worried about claims that he is- “I’m not going to try to prove what I am or am not. It’s silly, right? When you google yourself and the first thing that comes up is ‘Jeremy Renner gay,’ it’s like, ‘Oh, now you’ve arrived. You’re now a giant movie star.’ I don’t care, ultimately, if that’s what people want to think, read and care about. F*cking say whatever the hell you want about me.”

Furthermore, says Renner, “Look at where we’re at socially — leaps and bounds ahead of where we started. That’s an amazing thing. To suggest that it’s negative, that being gay is a terrible thing, a perversion or whatever — I just don’t get it. Don’t you wish we were in a world where we’re not shaming, judging and boxing people in?”

I like using it for my career because it’s an opportunity to connect with people. It’s also nice to be able to dictate your image directly as opposed to a filtered version by the press.”

Beauty Tip: Try These Monsoon Pedicures For Soft, Clean Feet

Here is a list of pedicures to try, to get back your pretty peds...

Paraffin Wax Pedi
This is said to be effective when it comes to banishing cracks and dry skin. First, you get a pedicure done. Before the nail polish is applied, the feet are dipped into paraffin wax in order to moisturise them.

Lavender Oil Pampering

Lavender oil, known for its healing properties, helps soothe your feet along with providing soft, smooth skin. To start, take a large tub or basin, fill it with warm water and some Epsom salts, as well as a few drops of essential lavender oils. The salt aids in reducing tired soles and swelling of feet.

The hot stones are then placed on pressure points of the feet to aid a deeper penetration of the oils and give a massage to the feet.

Fruit Pedis

Fruits are known to have numerous benefits on the skin. Make a skin pack with orange slices which give the skin a glow or strawberry pulp which smoothens out and hydrates the skin, papaya pulp which removes dead skin cells or even lemon juice, which can brighten the skin tone.

Beauty Tip: Quick Rescue For Common Beauty Blunders

Here are quick fixes to solve some major beauty problems in no time.

Messed up while cutting your own bangs?

You've got that stylish haircut after a long time, and in months, those side bangs have grown and how. So, you decide to chop them off yourself without denting your wallet at the salon, but sadly you botch the deed. Fret not! All you've got to do is apply an oil-based styling cream on your bangs, so the hair looks weighed down and thus, longer. Then blow dry that bit right down your forehead using a soft bristled hair brush. Another way to deal with the mess; side brush those bangs and clip it up with the help of a bobby pin.

Tweezed brows till they got super thin?

Yes, this can happen like many a times, and, we hate it, true. All you've got to do is use a soft textured eyebrow pencil of a colour similar to that of your eyebrow. Then fill in your brows, make sure you colour those gaps where there is no hair. Avoid the stenciled look, for which ensure using short, quick strokes, blending it with later with a brow brush. Continue this daily, till your hair grows back (which shouldn't be more than a week or two).

Facial made those blemishes more visible?

Soak a cotton pad in alcohol (one which has an antiseptic property) and clean the blemishes. (This might sting quite a bit). Also, if the spot is bleeding, wrap ice in a towel and apply it to the area. Avoid squeezing the blemish or else you're only going to damage that area by pushing the bacteria and pus deeper into the skin and rupturing the pore to allow a much-regretted scar on your skin. Sensitive skinned people are recommended to consult a doctor before trying any of these techniques.

Hair colour gone too dark or too light?

Correcting something like a colour goof-up is extremely tricky, so make sure you head to a salon even if it's a home-done error, unless you want to land yourself into more mess. Then again, if you want to correct it at home (urgent situations call for these); when your hair has ended up too light, apply a darker semi-permanent colour about half to one level deeper than the current colour. Choose a neutral or warm colour lest, you don't want to look having bleached tresses. When that hair has turned out to be too dark with colour, lighten it up using highlights.

Best Hand Exercises For Guitar Players

1. Squeeze The Soft Ball:

Squeezing a soft ball can actually be a good exercise for all beginners. It is very effective and doesn’t take much effort. It will strengthen your grip and prevent your fingers from slipping off while playing. All you have to do is simply squeeze it hard for a couple of seconds and then release your grip. Try 15 repetitions before calling it an end. Try this exercise around three times a week in order to maximize the results.

2. Claw Stretches:

Claw stretches are another interesting way to get your fingers moving! Bring both your hands out and place them in the front. This will help you visualize your palms. Next, you will have to gently bend those fingers so that they rest perfectly on the joints of your fingers. Your hands will look similar to the paws of a cat. Keep yourself in that position for about 20 seconds and repeat around 3 times. Try this three to four times a week for best results.

3. Use Rubber Bands:

Now rubber bands are quite a fun equipment to use if you’re trying to work those finger muscles. Just wrap a rubber band around the hand at the base of your fingers. Next, you have to extend the thumb and hold it before bringing it back. Try this exercise 10 to 15 times. Increase the sets. Three times a week should be enough.

J.K. Rowling Tweets Announcement of Harry Potter Play

Never content to rest on her laurels, JK Rowling has penned a new play for the London state titled “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,” slated to open in the West End in 2016. The prolific novelist took to her Twitter account to let fans know about the project, which also included contributions from director John Tiffany and writer Jack Thorne.

ADVERTISING

Rowling wrote, “Today is a very special day for two reasons. Firstly, ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’ was published in the UK 18 years ago! I’m also very excited to confirm today that a new play called ‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’ will be opening in London next year. It will tell a new story, which is the result of a collaboration between writer Jack Thorne, director John Tiffany and myself.

I don’t want to say too much more, because I don’t want to spoil what I know will be a real treat for fans. However, I can say that it is not a prequel! To answer one inevitable (and reasonable!) question – ‘Why isn’t ‘Cursed Child’ a new novel?’ – I am confident that when audiences see the play they will agree that it was the only proper medium for the story. I’ve had countless offers to extend Harry’s story over the years, but Jack, John and Sonia Friedman are a dream team! It has been a huge pleasure to share with them (and soon, with you!) this untold part of Harry’s story.”

Kylie and I were both really little, and we were sitting by the pool. I think we were touching each other’s faces, and my sisters were like, ‘Never touch your face! Never! You don’t want pimples.’

They told us to always keep our faces clean. Randomly enough, my older sisters went to a makeup school when they were younger, so they’re all really good at it. They’ve always told me that ‘natural is better.'”

Hottest Autumn Hairstyles From The Catwalk

Here are the hottest hairstyles for autumn... O The blunt bob

This look is fun and sophisticated; with no layers and cut all at one length, you can achieve the volume you have always dreamed of. It is feminine and mature, drawing attention to the structure of your face and really elongating that neck. See how Beyonce and young stars like Margot Robbie wear theirs for some inspiration. This look is so versatile - the blunt bob can be styled with a side or middle parting, or simply slicked back off the face. Don't underestimate this look, as you can style it in various ways, whether you want to channel your inner Hollywood goddess or not. Today we're seeing bobs that hit just above the shoulders, so the style can be worn long enough to tie in a ponytail. Note that the blunt bob works well for straight and wavy textures, so you can really make this your own.

O Bohemian Waves

This sultry style gives effortless but lustrous definition for volume and life to any hair colour or texture, which is the perfect complement to the Bohemian fashions we're predicting for Autumn. These effortless waves work best on mid to long length hair, creating lots of natural movement. To get your bohemian waves ready for Fall, apply mousse to your wet hair and blow dry until you meet your natural hair texture. For bohemian waves I suggest you follow your natural part. Starting from the bottom take various sized sections of hair and wrap around a curling wand. The hair near your face will have to be curled outwards away from your face to keep with the Boho feel. Spray your locks with a hair mist for texture and volume; add a salt spray if you want something extra tousled.

O Side Ponytail

The side ponytail is often dismissed, but it actually is a very elegant and formal style that can be worn to any event. Side ponytails work best for long hair for the ponytail to sit over the shoulder. You can wear your ponytail straight, curly, wavy, with braids or twist - there's so many ways to style it. My personal favourite is a sleek side ponytail with a quiff or fringe for a lively, voluminous look. Young stars like Cara Delevingne wear theirs on the top of the head, but keep yours at the nape of the neck if you want to look chic like the Duchess of Cambridge.

O Accessorise Your Look

A look which dominated the Fall catwalks was the use of clips and barrettes. No longer the territory of teenagers, Proenza Schouler and Fendi put headbands on their models for vintage glamour, while other designers went for barettes and extravagant clips. Take your pick from the wide range, but we recommend you choose something in a neutral toned colour to look playful but sophisticated.

O Tying The Knot

Forget about buns for this season, because it's all about the knot and getting an undone look. You can style this right on top of the head or the nape of the neck depending on your mood, just make sure it looks effortless and like you've just piled this on your head. If you find this difficult to achieve, then we recommend tying the knot loosely and pulling out a few strands to make sure you're on trend. Fix with a light hairspray so the style looks flawless all day.

Sweat Proof Your Make-up For Smudge-free Look

Sweat can play havoc on your make-up routine, so try rubbing a cube of ice all over your face and use a skin-toning facepack to have a smudge free look, says an expert.

• Use Ice

• If you're in a habit of applying make-up daily, rub a piece of ice all over the face before starting your make-up. It will close the skin pores, turning the skin less sweaty. Continue applying your make-up to prevent it from smudging.

•  Use Facepack

• Try using a skin-toning face pack, right before your make-up, to tone your skin pores. This will make your foundation or base glide easily and will also prevent sweating in order to attain a mess-proof make-up.

•  Ditch The Foundation

• Swap your regular foundation with a matt mousse, souffle or studio-fix to provide a mesmerising glow the face, and not turning it appearing too sweaty, oily or greasy. Also, make sure that the chosen product matches your skin tone, to look natural.

Beauty Tips: How-to Hide A Hangover

If you've gone all-night partying mid-week and have to report to work the next day, here are a few tips that will conceal all the signs of a hangover!

-Since alcohol dehydrates the body, you need to keep drinking plenty of water to rehydrate yourself. Dehydration will cause your skin to look dry, so the first tip is to drink plenty of fluid, to get that glow back on your face.

-Before you apply any make-up on, use a thick moisturiser on your face. This will pamper your skin and keep it healthy.

-If you eyes have become puffy due to lack of sleep, apply cold teabags on it. You can also try cucumber pieces or wrap some ice in a cloth and use it on your eyes for ten to fifteen minutes. This will help reduce any swelling around the eyes and make you look fresher.

Garmin Unveils Egde 20 And Edge 25 GPS

The Garmin Edge 20 and 25 both fall under the category of bike or cycling computers and, although, they could easily be mistaken for a wearable, the devices are pretty tailor made and specifically geared towards bike usage. Both are GPS and GLONASS enabled so you can track your rides, as well as set routes for yourself. The small devices also record time, distance, elevation and speed by default and can also be set-up with additional sensors for heart rate and cadence.

They are also made to be durable and take quite a bit of abuse. Water is not issue, as well as dust and mud, which the tracker is inevitable going to encounter on an off-road journey. The display on the tracker is monochrome with a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels and ideal for viewing under direct light.

The Edge 20 has a price tag of $129.99 and its more-advanced sibling goes for $169.99. You can also pick up an Edge 25 bundle with a cadence sensor for $199.99.

Taraji P. Henson Sizzles On The Cover of W Magazine

Never lacking in the sex appeal department, Taraji P. Henson has pulses racing with her steamy cover spread for the August 2015 issue of W magazine. The “Empire” goddess flashes plenty of flesh in her images, expertly captured by the dynamic photography duo of Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

Of her role of Cookie on her hit show, Taraji explains, “Not only would I never be offered a character like Cookie in a movie, but she doesn’t exist. Cookie is bold and crazy, and she loves the struggle. She started from nothing, and now she’s at the top. In that way, we’re alike: Cookie is the American Dream. They want Cookie. They see her heart.

They see her intentions. And they love her style—her style is 17 years behind the fashion curve, which makes the clothes a character on the show. As Cookie grows, you’ll see her fashion grow. And people love that—she’s a work in progress. The only thing that never changes is her spirit: To me, Cookie is living, breathing, walking truth.”

Health Tips For Corporate Employees

To lead a healthy and fit life, they should keep water handy, carry home cooked food and more, says an expert.

Carry A Water Bottle Wherever You Go

Keeping water handy is a good idea. Sometimes, if you're working, you'll just forget to drink water for a long period of time. Also, you should sip on water or a fruit-based drink.

Home-cooked Food

Nothing substitutes a nutritious salad or a wholesome meal from home. It's best if you eat home-cooked 'dal chawal'. If you happen to stay away from your family or if you're too busy to pack your lunch, there are a good number of startups delivering home-cooked food and fresh salads. Try using the services of such startups instead of ordering from fast food joints, which do you no good.

Don't Go Too Hard On Yourself

Your client can wait for a few minutes. Close your eyes and relax for two minutes for every hour. This clears your mind and keeps you active.

Refrain From Straining Your Back

Yes, it's enjoyable to sit on that comfortable office chair with your back reclined in odd postures, but it does actual damage to your spine and it's high time that you start sitting in proper postures. Be sure the back is aligned against the back of the office chair. Avoid slouching or leaning forward.

Sleep Pays Off

Believe it or not, but getting even 30 minutes less sleep than your body requirement can have short and long-term consequences on health, mood and performance. It's good to maintain a regular sleep schedule, with at least eight hours of sleep every day, even on the weekends.

Kick The Caffeine Habit

It's a well-known fact that caffeine interferes with your sleep. Avoid tea, coffee and soft drinks close to bedtime. Instead, go for a glass of fresh juice in the morning and a cup of green tea in the evening.

Beauty Tip: How To Lighten The Skin Naturally

There are numerous homemade recipes that can lighten the skin and have the added bonus of being chemical free. Try some of these methods for a more even skin.

Yogurt

Oranges

Darkness is often caused by dry skin and honey helps lighten as well as moisturise the skin. Apply it on the face for ten minutes, then wash off with warm water. This also helps remove the dead skin cells and makes your face look brighter in general.
