Nokia N70

The Nokia N70 is a 3G smart phone. The key pad has a five-way scroll key, two soft keys, an application key and a multi- media key.

Best described as the size of a bar of soap (its actual dimensions are 108.8 x 53 x 21.8 mm) the N70 is long, wide and thick. The signal is loud and hard to miss in a noisy street.
It looks very stylish and professional and provides all the latest technologies and functions you would expect from a smartphone: data transmission with UMTS and EDGE speeds, 2 Megapixel camera, high quality 65k colors display, stereo playback and FM radio. In addition to this, the phone has 32 MB free RAM, the most of all Symbian OS based smartphones up to date. It's one of those phones that will suit both young users and serious business users. The phone's software 'Music' is a very good alternative for the music player in the former symbian phones. Mp3 playback quality is amazing.
The screen boasts a 176x208 pixels, 2.13" in diagonal (41x35 mm - active space). The screen is completely alike the one of the Nokia 6680/6681 with announced 262K support.
The camera is easy to use, and has adjustments for color, white balance, and flash. The 2 megapixel camera provides good image resolution to a maximum of 1600 x 1200 pixeli. Photographs also turn out to be a bit of a disappointment.

Nokia 5300 XpressMusic

The Nokia 5300 XpressMusic is a music player phone in a slide design. The 5300 has a nice compact design that is good to hold.
The 5300 XpressMusic is focused on solid design and durability. The slider phone design is not sleek but it is small, convenient and durable.
There are dedicated music keys on the outside (play, pause, forward & rewind) and a camera key, so many of the phone's functions can be accessed without opening the slide.
Nokia has blended the design and features in this phone to meet the demands of a new section of users, offering a fresh and trendy experience.
The 5300 has a high-quality stereo music player that supports all the main digital audio formats: MP3, Midi, AAC, AAC+, enhanced AAC+, and WMA. There is also a stereo FM radio.
As well as the music capabilities, the 5300 has all the other functions that we have come to expect from a phone. The built-in camera has a resolution of 1.3 megapixels, and there's a video recording option too.
Internet access is fast, using EDGE, and a basic web browser is supplied. Connectivity options include Bluetooth, USB and infrared, and a CD is supplied to let you manage files and transfer your music from PC to phone. Battery life is average, and probably compares reasonably well with an iPod when it comes to playing music.
The Nokia 5300 XpressMusic is also a Java-enabled phone supporting MIDP Java 2.0 and additional Java APIs.
The MP3 player, switchable themes and robust design make it clear that the Nokia 5300 is aimed at the younger mobile phone user; someone who wants as many features they may actually use packed into one compact device.

If you ever wondered why you should lose weight, it means that you really don’t know the health consequences to which overweight and obesity lead.
First of all your extra pounds is practically an accumulation of excess body fat and it may impair your health. Doctors generally agree that the more obese a person is, the more likely he or she is to have health problems. Obesity has been linked to several serious medical conditions, including the following:
Cardiovascular disease (mainly heart disease and stroke) - already the world’s number one cause of death, killing 17 million people each year. Heart disease and stroke are the leading causes of death and disability for both men and women in the United States.
Diabetes – This has rapidly become a global epidemic. Overweight people are twice as likely to develop type 2 diabetes as people who are not overweight. You can reduce your risk of developing this type of diabetes by losing weight and by increasing your physical activity.
Musculoskeletal disorders – especially osteoarthritis.
Cancer- Several types of cancer are associated with being overweight. In women, these include cancer of the uterus, gallbladder, cervix, ovary, breast, and colon. Overweight men are at greater risk for developing cancer of the colon, rectum, and prostateThough, one of the most painful aspects of obesity may be the emotional suffering it causes. Our society places great emphasis on physical appearance, often equating attractiveness with slimness, especially in women. The messages intended or not, make overweight people feel unattractive. Many people assume that obese people are gluttonous, lazy, or both. So, do you want to lose weight?!

The main reason to lose weight is for health, and not good looks. Many people forget about this and this is why we should remind some of those who forget about it, some real facts. Almost 112,000 deaths per year may be attributable to obesity because the risk of death rises with increasing weight. Furthermore, even moderate weight excess (10 to 20 pounds for a person of average height) increases the risk of death, particularly among adults ages 30 to 64.Moreover, people who suffer from this have a higher risk of excess death (they are more likely to die) from all causes, compared to people at a healthy weight. Obesity is now recognized as a major risk factor for coronary heart disease, which can lead to heart attack.
The consequences of weight gain are serious for other health issues as well, actually. A weight gain of 11 to 18 pounds increases a person’s risk of developing type 2 diabetes to twice that of people who have not gained weight. Over 80 percent of people with diabetes are overweight or obese.
Overweight and obesity are associated with an increased risk for some types of cancer including endometrial (cancer of the lining of the uterus), colon, gall bladder, prostate, kidney and postmenopausal breast cancer. Moreover, women gaining more than 20 pounds from age 18 to midlife double their risk of postmenopausal breast cancer, compared to women whose weight remains stable. Obesity is associated with a higher prevalence of asthma. For every 2-pound increase in weight, the risk of developing arthritis increases by 9 to 13 percent. Symptoms of arthritis can improve with weight loss.

Many people think weight loss is like emptying a bucket with a ladle. A scoop out of the bucket today, tomorrow, next week will eventually empty the bucket. Not so with our bodies. When we decrease our food intake, our bodies try to absorb and store more calories the next time we eat in excess of what our body needs. So, even though we are cutting down most of the time, we will not lose weight if we get extra calories part of the time.
The rule of weight loss is easy: you must consistently burn off more calories than you take in. Any type of diet can work as long as calorie intake is consistently reduced, every day. A diet that is balanced with small quantities of vegetables, fruit, grains and lean meat or fish is the healthiest. Exercise helps, but unless you are an athlete, you will have to cut calories as well. And remember, it’s OK to be hungry when losing weight. Once a goal is achieved, every day is for maintaining. If you go back to eating more and exercising less, the weight will go right back on.
The prevalence of obesity has now reached epidemic proportions for both men and women in many industrialized populations. An extensive literature exists on the effectiveness of interventions to achieve and maintain weight loss, but information on the reasons why individuals elect to try and lose weight is more limited, particularly amongst men. Successful weight loss depends on many factors, however many dieters are most successful when they have access to continued support. For that support to be effective it is important to understand the motivating factors behind an individual's desire to lose weight. A clearer understanding of the reasons motivating weight loss should help the development of strategies to combat the increasing incidence of overweight and obesity.
Aside from the health effects of obesity, it has been suggested that motivating factors, ultimately the reasons for an individual to want to lose weight, differ between those who are successful at weight loss and those who are not. Successful dieters were motivated by psychological factors relating to confidence rather than health and symptoms relief. The role of weight loss in improving self-esteem was also reported by a North American study of successful weight losers who were able to maintain their weight losses for at least 1 year.
Given the epidemic of obesity, and the need to encourage weight management, this study provides information that will be of use to those encouraging the lay population to lose weight.
