Salt is an indispensable seasoning for us, but every time you add salt during cooking, you are likely to add micro-plastics that are hard to see by the naked eye. Micro-plastics are the decomposition of larger plastics in the environment. The size is less than 5 mm.
A few years ago, researchers discovered microplastics in sea salt. However, in this most popular seasoning, the distribution of plastic fragments is still unclear. Now, a new study finds that global sales More than 90% of the salt brands are contaminated with plastics, of which sea salt has the highest plastic content. Even the rock salt brand analyzed in the study has been found to be contaminated by microplastics.
Figure: More than 90% of the salt may be contaminated by plastic
The study was conducted jointly by researchers from South Korea and East Asia Greenpeace. The results were published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology. A total of 39 salt brands were investigated and only three were found to be free of microplastics. From Taiwan (refined sea salt), China (refined rock salt) and France (non-refined sea salt produced by solar evaporation).
This finding is consistent with previous studies on the discovery of plastics in salt, but recent research highlights the prevalence of plastic contamination, where salt from oceans, lakes and rocks is contaminated.
The study found that the density of microplastics found in different brands of salt varies widely, but the density of Asian brands is particularly high. The highest amount of microplastics is found in the salt sold in Indonesia. Asia is a high-incidence area for plastic pollution, and Indonesia With a coastline of 54,520 kilometers, it was listed as the second most serious country in terms of plastic pollution in an unrelated study in 2015.
Sherri Mason, a professor at the State University of New York at Fredonia, has worked with researchers at the University of Minnesota on another study on salt. She said: 'The new findings have increased the impact of evaluating microplastics. 'New puzzle piece' ' .
Mason continued: 'They found that salt micro-plastics in Europe are more polluted. This fact is interesting. Although this is not surprising, you still need data support. Early research found in salt products sold in these countries. Microplastics, but we still don't know how much. The new research shows us that microplastics are everywhere.'
The new study estimates that adults consume an average of about 2,000 microplastics per year through salt, which means what remains a mystery.
Kim Seung-Kyu, a professor at Incheon University in South Korea, said: 'The results of the study show that human consumption of micro-plastics through seafood is closely related to plastic emissions in specific regions. To limit the micro-plastics we come into contact with, we need to take Preventive measures, such as poorly controlled plastic emissions, and more importantly, reduce plastic waste.'
Another recent study published by the University of York in the United Kingdom attempts to assess the environmental hazards of microplastics. It concludes that it is unclear whether microplastics will cause harm. A review of the current 320 studies found that There is a 'significant knowledge gap' in the scientific understanding of the effects of microplastics.
The problem of micro-plastics in bottled water is equally horrible. A recent report found that even half of freshwater insects are contaminated with micro-plastics.
Although efforts are being made to remove ubiquitous plastic waste from the ocean, there are other alternative materials coming soon, such as biodegradable algae plastics. However, even if these efforts are effective, many environments are already contaminated and new ones may need to be established as soon as possible. Craftsmanship to help filter out substances that are sometimes carcinogenic from the products we consume.

The Soil Will Save Us by Kristin Ohlson
Thousands of years of poor farming and ranching practices—and, especially, modern industrial agriculture—have led to the loss of up to 80 percent of carbon from the world’s soils. That carbon is now floating in the atmosphere, and even if we stopped using fossil fuels today, it would continue warming the planet.
As the granddaughter of farmers and the daughter of avid gardeners, Ohlson has long had an appreciation for the soil. A chance conversation with a local chef led her to the crossroads of science, farming, food, and environmentalism and the discovery of the only significant way to remove carbon dioxide from the air—an ecological approach that tends not only to plants and animals but also to the vast population of underground microorganisms that fix carbon in the soil. Ohlson introduces the visionaries—scientists, farmers, ranchers, and landscapers—who are figuring out in the lab and on the ground how to build healthy soil, which solves myriad problems: drought, erosion, air and water pollution, and food quality, as well as climate change. Her discoveries and vivid storytelling will revolutionize the way we think about our food, our landscapes, our plants, and our relationship to Earth.

Game one story from a Williams College Release; game two story by Justin Long
May 12, 2007
WILLIAMSTOWN, MA – The Amherst College baseball team suffered a 6-3 loss to tournament host Williams College this morning, setting up an elimination game with Tufts University this afternoon. The Lord Jeffs dropped the rematch of yesterday's game, and were knocked out of the tournament with the 9-4 result.
Williams did not take its first lead until the top of the seventh inning. Leading 3-2 through six, Amherst went to its bullpen, calling on rookie Teddy Blank (Waban, MA) to come on in relief of junior starter Chris Edgar (Massapequa, NY). Eph senior Chris Kenney, last year's NESCAC Player of the Year, stepped to the plate to lead off the inning for the Ephs. He sent Blank's first offering over the fence in right to tie the game, 3-3.
After walking senior Paul Morgan, Blank settled in and retired the next two batters he faced. But with two outs, first-year Chad Brown dropped in a bloop hit to shallow left to drive in Morgan and give the Ephs a 4-3 lead.
Williams hurler Ryan Fote made quick work of the Jeffs in the bottom half of the inning, retiring the side on seven pitches. In the bottom of the eighth, Fote escaped a two-on and two-out jam by inducing a groundout to first.
Then, with two outs and Brown on first in the top of the ninth, Fote iced a solid day on the mound by coming through at the plate for the Ephs. He delivered a two-run homerun to center to extend the Williams lead to 6-3.
Sam Tuttle closed out the win for the Ephs, pitching a one-two-three ninth to earn the save. He struck out the last batter of the contest.
With the win, Fote improved to 6-0 on the year. He went eight innings, surrendering three runs, one earned, on five hits and two walks. He struck out one.
Fote also got some help from his infield, as rookie Rob Allemand made a pair of nifty plays at third base. With a man on third and two outs in the bottom of the third, Allemand charged a weak grounder up the line and made the throw to first to save a run. In the bottom of the seventh, with the Ephs holding a slim 4-3 lead, Allemand made a clean play on a hard hit ball to his left to get the first out of the inning.
Amherst had gotten on the board first with a pair of runs in the bottom of the second. A series of bunts and weak grounders gave the Eph infield some problems in the inning, as the Jeffs managed to put runners on second and third with no outs. Junior Neal Allar (Floyds Knobs, IN) singled to center to start the rally, and sophomore Angus Schaller (Leucadia, CA) reached on an error by Fote. After a groundout advanced them, sophomore Nat Pedley (Rye, NY) drove both runners in with a basehit through the rightside, putting the Jeffs on top, 2-0.
Williams got one back in the top of the third. Fote and Allemand led off the inning with back-to-back singles. Then, junior James DiCosmo moved them over with a grounder to the first baseman. After Kenney walked, Morgan hit a potential double-play ball to the Amherst shortstop, but he hustled down the line and beat the throw to first, allowing Fote to score.
The Ephs tied things up in the top of the fourth. After Brown was hit by a pitch, junior Kevin Flynn singled. Both runners moved up on a wild pitch. One out later, Allemand grounded to the shortstop to drive in Brown, making it 2-2.
Amherst took a 3-2 lead in bottom of the fifth. Sophomore Mike Neff (New York, NY) reached on an error to lead off the inning. Two outs later, junior catcher Josh Card (North Adams, MA) capitalized, driving him in with a line drive down the leftfield line.
Edgar pitched six innings for the Jeffs. He allowed just two runs, both earned, on four hits and five walks, striking out three. Blank took the loss for the Jeffs. He tossed the final three frames, giving up four runs, two earned, on five hits and two walks while striking out one.
Allar was the offensive sparkplug for the Jeffs. He went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, and a run scored. Schaller was 1-for-2 with a walk and a run scored, and Card finished 1-for-4 with an RBI.
With the loss, Amherst would have to face Tufts University later in the day in an elimination game, with a trip to meet Williams in Sunday's championship round on the line.
In the afternoon, Amherst sent sophomore southpaw Ryan Platzbecker (Westlake, OH) and his perfect 5-0 record to the mound, while Tufts went with junior right-hander Jason Protano (Milford, MA). Platzbecker walked the first batter of the game, but got senior Brian Casey (Milford, MA) to ground into a double play before Bryan McDavitt (Holden, MA) popped up to end the inning.
Amherst threatened in the first by putting runners on second and third, but Protano escaped unharmed when he got Jared Banner (Brooklyn, NY) to pop up to sophomore Kevin Casey (Milford, MA) at second base. The younger Casey gave Tufts its first hit of the game in the second inning, but Amherst's middle infield turned its second double play of the game to end the inning.
Corey Pontes (Milton, MA) led off the top of the third with a single to left center, Caleb Sims (Burlington, MA) moved him over to second with a sacrifice bunt, and Chris Decembrele (Walpole, MA) drove him in with a single up the middle, giving Tufts a 1-0 lead after some textbook baseball.
After the Amherst defense turned its third double play of the game in the fourth inning, Banner got things going in the bottom half of the frame with a single through the right side. First-year Will Lawton (Newton, MA) grounded out to second but moved Banner over in the process, but Protano drew two more ground-ball outs and did not allow Banner to advance past second base, as the Jumbos entered the fifth inning with their 1-0 lead in tact.
Pontes made it a 3-0 game when what appeared to be a high fly ball to right field turned into a two-run homer that just made it over the eight-foot-high fence. Amherst got one back in the bottom of the fifth when Scott singled to right center and Josh Card (North Adams, MA) sent an RBI-double to the gap for his second hit of the game.
Tufts loaded the bases in the top of the sixth, and Kevin Casey quickly cleared them with a three-RBI triple to right center, as the Jumbos took a commanding 6-1 lead before recording an out in the inning. After Platzbecker walked a batter and Pontes picked up his third hit of the game to give Tufts a 7-1 lead, the Jeffs brought Mike Hinckley (Carlsbad, CA) in to stop the bleeding. Hinckley walked a pair and struck out a pair, allowing one run that was credited to Platzbecker, as the Jeffs found themselves in an 8-1 hole with time running out on their season.
Amherst got two runs back in the seventh and one more in the ninth, but Tufts chalked up another in the eighth and held on for the 9-4 win.
Platzbecker picked up the loss to move to 5-1, while Protano improved to 4-3 with the win. Protano threw eight innings, allowing eight hits while striking out four and walking two. In his final game with Amherst, senior Brian Donahue (Sudbury, MA) pitched three innings of relief, striking out four while allowing just one run on three hits.
Pontes led the Tufts offense by going 4-for-5 with a pair of runs and RBIs, while Decembrele and the Casey brothers had two hits apiece. Card led the Jeffs with three RBIs and a 3-for-4 performance, while Brendan Powers (Walpole, MA) was 2-for-4 with an RBI.
Amherst finishes the season at 20-14, while Tufts improves to 25-11 and will play Williams College Sunday with the NESCAC title on the line. With a 2-0 record in the tournament thus far, the host Ephs will need to win only one game to claim their championship, while the Jumbos will have to win two games for the crown.

Author Explores African American Faith Stories
With his book "Faith and Struggle in the Lives of Four African Americans," author Randal Jelks seeks to take readers beyond the headlines. While Americans so often view the black American experience through narratives like slavery, emancipation and the Black Lives Matter movement, Jelks argues that to truly comprehend those narratives, one must learn about the individual stories that comprise them. His new book therefore explores the faith stories of four African Americans: Ethel Waters, Mary Lou Williams, Eldridge Cleaver and Muhammad Ali. Each used faith as a tool in his or her personal and public life in the twentieth century, as the book explores. Jelks is a professor of African and African American studies, as well as American studies, at the University of Kansas.

Clint Eastwood’s latest film “Sully,” chronicles the famous ‘Miracle on the Hudson,’ one of the most famous crash landings in the history of flight.
Famous of course, for that everyone from the passengers to the crew survived what was thought to be impossible; landing a plane in the middle of a river, in the freezing cold and in New York City, one of the most densely populated places on earth.
Yet on January 15, 2009, US Airways Flight 1549 bound for Charlotte, did just that. Captain Chesley ‘Sully’ Sullenberger and first officer Jeffery Skiles, played by Tom Hanks and Aaron Eckhart respectively, the plane lands in the Hudson and ‘Sully’ goes from an experienced pilot to an exceptional one.
The film keeps the plot lean by focusing solely on the landing and the subsequent investigation that follows. Eastwood uses the investigation as a framing device to deliver to the audience the famous crash landing not once but twice.
With the plane now out of the freezing waters of the Hudson. The National Transportation Safety Board begins to grill the men for their decision. The inquiry claims that the plane could have made it back to LaGaurdia Airport when one of the engines was not as badly damaged as the men had thought. While Sully tries to explain that it wasn’t possible, one member of the group Charles Porter, a pugnacious Mike O’Malley, digs in.
Faced with the prospect that there was another way to get the passengers to safety, Sully begins to doubt himself. This on top of the surreal and all-too-fast rise to fame makes him feel adrift and isolated, emotions that Hanks captures beautify.
Hanks is also able to convey Sully’s other emotions, but perhaps the most important is the coolness that Sully has about him. Sully rarely raised his voice in the film, he does so once and that’s when he is evacuation the plane and looking to make sure no one is left behind.
The only two cheerleaders in his corner are his wife Lorraine, a concerned Laura Linney and Skiles. Skiles in particular, is adamant that Sully did the right because it was the only thing. That and apparently he didn’t have any ideas on how to land the plane at the moment.
In terms of direction, Eastwood does a wonderful job of recreating the landing. He managed to get the exact boats from the New York Waterway ferry service, which resued the passengers and even one of the pilots, Peter Vincent ‘Vince’ Lombardi, to play himself in the role. Eastwood made the film as accurately as possible even as so far to edit a ring that Sully wears in real life to get the right color.
In the seven years since the landing, the skyline has changed so much that it even made the landing even more astounding.
I myself remember that day, coming home from school and my dad watching the news. I remember the relief I felt when the news broke that all 155 survived the crash. One thing everyone who was on that flight remembers that I do is that it was really cold.
While I’m not sure if “Sully” will get nominated for any Academy Awards, Hanks could very well be an early contender for the award for Best Actor and Eastwood for Director. The film would also do well in the technical department such as Sound and Editing.
The only hiccup is the characterization of the NTSB officials. Sullenberger himself asked to have the names of the investigators be changed so that they didn’t come off as “prosecutorial,” the fact that they get the tar and feather treatment is a bit unfair.
While Eastwood claimed that as he read the script which depicted the officials ‘railroading’ Sullenberger and Skiles, which put them on the defensive, the real-life investigators were actually astounded by the level of calmness and teamwork the two men had in order to bring the plane to safety.
In fact, the NTSB, which has no regulatory powers in the U.S. government, only makes recommendations. They made 35 safety recommendations as a result of Sullenberger’s historic landing. Even though it’s become practice that some historical aspect is alter to further dramatize the plot, using the NTSB as a scapegoat may create more harm than good when the public, such as myself, are placed in a disaster involving transport.
While I will not damn the film for this, I will advise a word of caution on biopics and for anyone who has seen or yet to see the film. Filmmakers like, Eastwood are amazing at what they do, including creating narratives for an audience to follow. However perception has a funny way of becoming reality for some people. We should be as if not more so because as the old adage goes, you can’t believe everything you read or see these days.
Sully is rated PG-13, Plane landing in the Hudson, ’nuff said.
“I would have done it in July”: Last line in the film uttered by Jeffery Skiles.
“The best way to leave from LaGaurdia is to fly from JFK”: Donna the stewardess as the flight taxis off the runway.
“40 years in the air but in the end and I’m going to be judged on 208 seconds” Sully.

This work, Maj. Gen. John R. O'Connor takes command of 'Team 21', by SSG Warren Wright, identified by DVIDS, is free of known copyright restrictions under U.S. copyright law.


The much-awaited 'Geleya Geleya' from Puneet Rajkumar starrer Sandalwood flick 'Chakravyuha' is finally out. The speciality of this song is the fact that NTR crooned for the peppy number which is part of the Kannada Star's 25th flick.
NTR's energy & SS Thaman's musical score made 'Geleya Geleya' an instant hit with the fans and music lovers. Team 'Chakravyuha' were thrilled with the response and they see it as a big morale boost.
The only drawback being lack of Jr's song making footage in the video. Of course, Its not a big worry as long as the song is hitting the right chord with the listeners.
Seems like, Junior is seriously focussing alternative career options. Apart from being a fabulous actor, He earned the reputation of being good singer who can pull of any kind of song effortlessly.

Match takes its starting point from James Porter's stunning work "Invert", inspired by György Ligeti's "Symphonic Poem for 100 Metronomes". The apparent simplicity of the installation draws previously unknown imaginary soundscapes and reveals a tangle of rhythms, from crash to purity and balance. Echoing, the movement is superimposed on the work and borrows rhythmic and choreographic cells which unfold in parallel. The two bodies then take a partitional path bringing them closer to each other.

Thomas Nast (September 27, 1840–December 7, 1902) was a famous caricaturist and editorial cartoonist in the 19th century.
He was born in the military barracks of Landau, Germany (in the Rhine Palatinate), the son of a musician in the 9th regiment Bavarian band. His mother took him to New York in 1846. He studied art there for about a year with Alfred Fredericks and Theodore Kaufmann and at the school of the National Academy of Design. After school (at the age of 15), he started working in 1855 as a draftsman for Frank Leslies Illustrated Newspaper; three years afterwards for Harper's Weekly. He drew for Harper's Weekly from 1859 until 1886. In 1860 he went to England for the New York Illustrated News to depict the prize fight between Heenan and Sayers, and then joined Garibaldi in Italy as artist for The Illustrated London News. In the early 1860s, he married Sarah Edwards.
His first serious work in caricature was the cartoon "Peace in 1862," directed against those in the North who opposed the prosecution of the American Civil War. This and his other cartoons during the Civil War and Reconstruction days were published in Harper's Weekly. He was known for drawing battlefields in border and southern states. These attracted great attention, and Nast was called by President Abraham Lincoln our best recruiting sergeant. Even more able were Nast's cartoons against the Tweed Ring conspiracy in New York City. His biting wit was generally focused on political corruption, and was instrumental in the downfall of Boss Tweed. It was said his caricature of Boss Tweed was used by the officials of Vigo, Spain when Tweed fled justice there. In general he was well known in his time for his political cartoons supporting American Indians, Chinese Americans and advocating abolition of slavery.
He did some painting in oil and some book illustrations, but these were comparatively unimportant, and his fame rests on his caricatures and political cartoons, and introduced into American cartoons the practice of modernizing scenes from Shakespeare for a political purpose.
Notable images and icons which he created or popularized were:
A classic version of Santa Claus, drawn in 1863 for Harper's Weekly
Republican Party Elephant
Democratic Party Donkey
Tammany Hall Tiger, a symbol of Boss Tweed's political machine
Columbia, a graceful image of the Americas as a woman, usually in flowing gown and tiara, carrying a sword to defend the downtrodden.
Uncle Sam, a lanky image of the United States.
John Bull, a rotund image of Britain's spirit
John Chinaman, a sympathetic image of Chinese immigrants.
In 1873, 1885 and 1887 Nast toured the United States as lecturer and sketch-artist, but with the advent of new methods and younger blood his vogue decreased. After the death of Fletcher Harper, he focused on oil paintings and book illustrations. He shared political views with his friend Mark Twain and was for many years a staunch Republican; had bitterly attacked President Andrew Johnson and his Reconstruction policy; had ridiculed Horace Greeley's candidacy, and had opposed inflation of the currency, notably with his famous rag-baby cartoons, but his advocacy of civil service reform and his distrust of Blame forced him to become a Mugwump and in 1884 an open supporter of the Democratic party, from which in 1892 he returned to the Republican party and the support of Harrison.
He lived for many years in Morristown, New Jersey and in 1890, he published Thomas Nast's Christmas Drawings for the Human Race.
He tried to start a magazine, which failed, and in 1902 Theodore Roosevelt appointed him as United States' Consul General to Guayaquil, Ecuador in South America. At age 62, in 1902, he died of yellow fever contracted there. His body was returned to the United States where he was interred in the Woodlawn Cemetery in The Bronx, New York.

How To Keep A Dog In Geneva
Photo: Maria Talanova / suissepic
Importing A Dog To Switzerland
“I have a medium Goldendoodle. I imported him from France when he was 8 weeks. First of all, I checked Swiss rules on animal imports at the official website.
To import a dog I paid a tax CHF 102.-. My dog was vaccinated. A recommended vaccine is Rabies. It costs CHF 60.-. A dog should be registered at Armicus (CHF 50.-). It also should be registered at local vets. Insurance is recommended. Dogs also need a passport to travel across the border”.
Photo: Hannah Gill
A dog should be microchipped. However, Swiss regulations do not require a microchip to be implanted in the case of any dog bearing a perfectly legible tattoo.
“I brought my dog from Mexico. The procedure was not that complicated. However, if to compare with Mexico, where we had no rules and it was quite difficult. When I arrived to Geneva I registered him at the Police and at the Vet (you can go to any vet).
I payed 10 CHF to be logged into the Police system and ~45 CHF for the Vet system (though I feel the Vet charge may change depending on the Vet). Also a civil responsibility insurance is necessary for a dog. I pay 70 CHF a year and that includes home and dog”.
AMICUS database (fr) provides an independent database for pet animals, operating throughout Switzerland.
“I bought my dog from Portugal. I registered here his passport and mandatory vaccines. I also went to the police to register myself as an animal owner. Then, I took my dog and registered him there. After, I went to local police and took for him a medal for CHF 10.-
Note: You can not import dogs with cut ears and cut tails. You can but the process apparently quite difficult. You also need to pay attention to the list of the forbidden breeds”.
Pitbulls and their relatives are prohibited in Switzerland as well as their cross-breds up to 10%.

Dog Tax And Insurance
According to the Swiss law in the canton of Geneva all dogs must be insured. The relevant insurance is known as a civil liability insurance for dog owners and must be taken out with a private insurance company.
Geneva’s expats told us that they use different types of insurance to cover dog’s injures and to cover vet visits. The prices may differ.
“I pay 70 CHF a year for a 52 kg Great Dane”.
“I pay almost CHF 400.- for my dog insurance and they reimburse only very few things”
To have a dog residents and expats of Geneva have to pay a tax. It includes cantonal and communal tax which are CHF 50.-, and CHF 100.- for the first dog. Groups of people are subject to pay a dog tax can be found here.
However, the destiny of dog tax is under discussion. In February Genevans are going to vote for this tax abolition.
Walking With A Dog in Geneva
The Swiss love dogs. And this is fixed in the law.
According to the official website, dogs must have a sufficient contact with a human and other dogs. Those animal who are kept in closed areas should be able to walk and romp in the open air. We asked about the most popular areas to perform a walking with a dog. Among the there are Parc des Bastions, Plaine de Planpalais, Parc Bertrand, Parc La Grange. And yes, dogs living in Switzerland like to hike as well as their owners. So all the hiking areas close to Geneva count.
“With my 3-year old Great Dane I walk all over Geneva and try to go to as many off-leash parks as possible. His favorite is La Grange but we live on the right-bank so we also visit many here. We also hike a lot both close to Geneva and in the Alps. Regarding his necessities, I always pick up after him and have never had anyone mention anything about where he does his necessities so I don’t feel particularly careful in addition to simply picking up after him”.
Ruth told us that not all Genevas, however are careful about dogs poos.
“I always pick up his poo. There is a fine anyway but I hate if I step in poo myself. There are lots of places to find doggy bags to pick up and bins to place them in. No excuse! However, I find Geneva pretty bad for people picking up after their dog”.
Last but not least each year, around 13,000 people in Switzerland are bitten by a dog and need medical treatment. So according to the Swiss law, dogs over 25kg have to pass the TMC test.
“You take your dog in front of a judge do some exercises like sit, lay down, come back. To show your dogs obedience and that doesn’t represent a danger”

Alessandra Ambrosio stunned in a plunging dress.
The Brazilian supermodel shocked everybody with recent pictures.
She is currently in Milan, Italy attending Milan Fashion Week and making our jaws fall to the floor.
Ambrosio attended the Pomellato: From Milan & All Around The World Event.
She posed for the camera wearing a magnificent gown. The dress seemed to be divided in two.
The bra of the dress was a baby pink color and the rest was all black.
Alessandra Ambrosio looks incredible in a pink and black gown
However, it gave the illusion that it was overlapping the bra, as well as having a squared shape right at her hips.
For shoes, she picked some pointy black stilettos, keeping it classy.
She adorned this look with some chains like a diamond matching necklace, earrings, and bracelet, as well as a big diamond ring. She also carried around a sparkly silver clutch.
The 41-year-old posted some pictures in a hallway and against a red wall on her Instagram for her 11.4 million followers to see.
She captioned this post, “Notte splendente!!!! @pomellato #mfw #ad.”
Alessandra Ambrosio talks about her career
Alessandra Ambrosio’s modeling career started when she was just 15 years old.
She even reached a goal a lot of models would like to, to become a Victoria’s Secret model. Seventeen years ago, she walked for the brand’s fashion show wearing lingerie made entirely out of candy. She walked in seventeen different runways, and even at some point, we saw her wearing the heaviest wings while pregnant with her second child. Not only that, but Ambrosio was chosen to wear the Fantasy Bra twice.
But being a model wasn’t really her dream as a child. She told Love Magazine she wanted to do something completely different.
“When I was really small, I wanted to work in NASA. … By the time I got to high school I wasn’t a nerd at all. I was the kind of girl that used to like to dress up. … That’s all I cared about: outfits and boys… So this happened [modeling].”
So, besides modeling, Ambrosio has also done some appearances in movies and series like Gossip Girl, America’s, Australia’s and Germany’s Next Top Model, and New Girl, among others. She may not have ended up working for NASA, but her modeling career doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon.
