Long overlooked by the medical establishment, the medical benefits of Moringa have only recently been explored in the scientific setting. A number of recent studies have shown evidence that the plant is useful in boosting the levels of certain antioxidant enzymes within the body and reducing the overall level of toxic substances retained in body tissue; this may reduce the risk of cancer in individuals who include this versatile plant in their daily diet.Read More..
Oxidants, also known as free radicals, can cause serious damage to the body through the breakdown of cells. This breakdown can weaken the immune system and may be responsible for causing cataracts, some forms of cancer, arthritis, heart disease and other physical ailments; free radicals can cause accelerated aging of cells and physical systems as well. Free radicals are the result of oxygen reacting chemically with cells in the body during the breakdown of food or other substances. These chemical compounds can damage the DNA structures of other cells, creating mutations that can cause significant alterations to the cells and may serve as precursors to cancerous growths within the body.Read More..
The herpes virus causes two distinct illnesses in humans. Known as herpes simplex virus 1 and herpes simplex virus 2, these ailments are usually not life-threatening and are typically more of an inconvenience than a threat to sufferers. Both types of herpes are extremely contagious and can be readily passed by physical contact, making them a significant health problem in most populated areas. The primary symptoms of the disease in both forms are the characteristic blisters and subsequent scabs that erupt on the skin, either around the mouth and nose or in the genital areas.Read More..
Ovarian cancer is a life-threatening disease that can be difficult to detect in the early stages and is often mistaken for other illnesses. The fifth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women, ovarian cancer claims thousands of lives every year. Early detection and treatment are crucial in improving survival rates for women diagnosed with the illness. Over ninety percent of all cases of ovarian cancer are classified as epithelial ovarian cancers; this indicates that they originate on the surface of the ovary, rather than forming inside the reproductive organs.Read More..
The fragrant Moringa Oleifera flowers are creamy white in color, with yellow stamens. The flowers average about one inch in diameter and they first bloom when the tree is eight months old, and after that, Moringa Oleifera blooms every year from the month of April until September.

Gastric ulcers are one of the most painful and debilitating forms of digestive system disorders. Also known as peptic ulcers, these inflammations and irritations of the stomach wall can cause painful symptoms and serious complications in affected individuals. The most common signs of gastric ulcer include pain before or after eating, heartburn, nausea, bloating and vomiting blood. In serious or advanced cases gastric ulcers can lead to perforation of the stomach wall that can in turn lead to acute peritonitis, a potentially life-threatening condition.Read More..
One great advantage of the Moringa tree in providing food for undernourished populations is the exceptional shelf life of the foods provided. The leaves of the tree can be used fresh, cooked in the same way as spinach or dried and stored for months without requiring refrigeration. Fresh pods are known as drumsticks and are often served in much the same way as green beans; they typically are described as having a taste somewhat similar to asparagus. Dried leaves can be stirred into a sauce or consumed on their own depending on available dietary options.Read More..
Lupus, an inflammatory, autoimmune disease, often affects the joints, skin, blood, and kidneys, and the exact cause of this chronic condition is unknown and cannot be easily defined. Authorities in the medical field indicate that it may result from a combination of factors, such as am individual's genetic makeup along with certain unknown triggers of the disease, a bit like combining a lighted match and gasoline.Read More..
Another use for the seed pods of the Moringa tree is in water purification and treatment processes. The crushed seeds serve as a coagulant that attracts suspended particles in the water and allows them to settle to the bottom, leaving pure, clean water at the top of the treatment container. The process requires mature seed pods rather than the immature ones preferred for cooking purposes.Read More..

Telemedicine still struggles to gain traction
Physician Practice Perspective, April 7, 2017
This is an excerpt from a member only article. To read the article in its entirety, please login or subscribe to Physician Practice Perspective.
Telemedicine is still a niche business for physician practices and one that's been slow to expand due to restrictive policies that make billing for services a challenge. But some analysts say the industry may be just a few years away from gaining real traction in the maret.
While major health systems like Kaiser Permanente have already made telemedicine an integral part of their operations, opportunities to enter the telemedicine market are still limited for most small- and medium-sized practices. That's part of the reason that - like many technology-based mediums - the mainstreaming of telemedicine has been slow to arrive despite the hype.

The Cronut sounds like a disturbed Cro Magnon but it is, in fact, something you eat and it's caused more frenzy in Manhattan than a zombie sighting.
It is, in essence, utter decadence. Croissant dough is cut into a doughnut shape, deep-fried like a doughnut to fluff up into striated layers and injected with pastry cream.
The Cronut began life at Dominique Ansel Bakery. The James Beard award-winning patissier has become the city's new Soup Nazi with his unexpected success. He has posted 'How To Order A Cronut' instructions on his website (only pre-order by phone; limit per person is two in store, six by pre-ordering; don't cut in; don't reserve spots for friends; don't buy from scalpers, etc., etc.). Lineups for Cronuts start at 6 a.m., hours before it opens. The limited supply seems to incite a riotous demand.
At first I winced at the thought of ruining one of humanity's perfect foods, the croissant. I thought it would go away. But then I saw a close-up of its lusciousness and drooled a bit.
In Vancouver, Swiss Bakery on East 3rd Ave. has managed to copycat the Cronut for locals. They call their version Frissant, combining the words fritter and croissant. It sells for $4 a pop and from the photo I've seen, it looks like they might have nailed it. The bakery experimented with 10 to 15 test recipes before hitting the mark, getting the beautiful lamination (layers) and injecting the pastry cream so it hits the layers neatly. They make about 200 a day but last weekend, they upped it to 350 and sold out by noon.
They've made Frissants with vanilla bean pastry cream, chocolate custard and with hazelnut praline cream so far.
"We posted the photo of it on Facebook and it went viral," says Annette Siu, who created the Frissant with her father Michael Siu at the family bakery. "The next day there was a lineup before we opened. But we'll see how things go. People are curious. It might just be the novelty and we have a wholesale business to take care of, too."
The bakery has been making doughnuts and croissants for more than 20 years but the challenge was to combine the two successfully. Making Frissants, she says, is tedious work in terms of folding, hand-cutting each one. "It's a three-day process and you can't just freeze them off. We have to proof, wait and it's dependent on the time of day and temperature in the bakery."
It's crispy and chewy on the outside. When you bite, it's flaky. "It's similar to a croissant," says Siu. "I know Vancouver is more health conscious than New York City. We'll give it six months and see. In New York, they love anything deep-fried. We had one fellow last weekend who thanked us because he'd had one in New York and thought ours compared similarly."
Over at The Lazy Gourmet, the catering company had a request from a client for a version of Cronuts for an event. After a bit of experimenting, they came up with a recipe for it. Instead of pastry cream injected into the product, they drizzle icing over it. They'll soon start selling it by the dozen if requested. You'll have to order 24 hours in advance online (lazygourmet.ca) and pick it up at their catering facility.
At Beaucoup Bakery and Café where the croissants are outstanding, owner Jackie Ellis is going to New York to taste the original Cronut; if it's as good as she feels it might be, she'll try to recreate it at her shop. "This is a highly trained guy who does beautiful work. He has an edited menu with 15 to 18 items so he has to choose his best so I'm feeling there's something to this."
It's not only the croissant that's difficult to master, she says; doughnuts, too, are difficult to get just right. "Unless you have the frying and the rising down, it can be greasy and heavy. And if you're not careful with the croissant dough, it can be overly laden with fat and it's just not that pleasant on the palate," says Ellis. She feels she's got the great doughnut pastry chef on staff and is proud of her own croissants. "If anyone's going to master this, it's going to be me," she says.
"It's funny because fads like this go big quickly but on the other hand, so do amazing things. This could be our next cupcake or macaron. I do love the fact they it combine something very North American and very French, which is everything I do at my bakery."
The city's premiere doughnut shop is standing by, too. "We're sitting on the fence," says Jordan Cash, of Cartems Donuterie. "We're trying to get a feel for whether it has legs or whether it'll come and go. To be perfectly honest, the feeling I get is that it's fleeting. I don't think it's going to stick around. That's my take on it."
We agree not to bet on the matter.

Referencing & Recycling
A true passion for cinema is something that effortlessly shines through the work of the greatest filmmakers. We've seen homages to classic films, in this year alone, in Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds, Judd Apatow's Funny People and Lee Daniels' Precious, but no contemporary director references film history as commandingly as Almodovar.
Perhaps more consistently than any other contemporary filmmaker, Pedro Almodóvar's ardent cinephilia is displayed throughout his movies. Alongside allusions to theatre, literature, dance, painting, television and advertising, references to film are central to the world that Almodóvar constructs on screen. From the very beginning of his career, the director has creatively incorporated allusions to the diverse range of movies that have inspired and influenced him; his work, as Jose Arroyo has noted, "borrows indiscriminately from film history".
In interview with Frederic Strauss, Almodóvar acknowledges that "cinema is always present in my films [and that] certain films play an active part in my scripts. When I insert an extract from a film, it isn't a homage but outright theft. It's part of the story I'm telling, and becomes an active presence rather than a homage which is always something passive. I absorb the films I've seen into my own experience, which immediately becomes the experience of my characters" (Strauss, 45). With his latest film, Broken Embraces riffing on Hitchcock, Rossellini's Viaggio in Italia (1953), Buñuel's That Obscure Object of Desire (1977) and aspects of Almodóvar's own past work, now seems a particularly appropriate moment to assess the function of cinema references in Almodóvar and the role that film has played as a source of inspiration for his own movies.
Almodóvar's passion for film was nurtured from an early age, during childhood trips to the cinema. Movies, the director has claimed, provided a continual source of solace, engagement and escape when he was a child, as well as forming his early interest in story-telling. Almodóvar started going to the cinema when he was about ten years old, and reports an early enthusiasm for comedies by directors such as Frank Tashlin, Blake Edwards, Billy Wilder and Stanley Donen, the melodramas of Douglas Sirk, Hitchcock thrillers and the film adaptations of Tennessee Williams's plays, in particular Richard Brooks's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958). "I was much more sensitive to the voice of Tennessee Williams, springing from the lips of Liz Taylor, Paul Newman or Marlon Brando, than to the slimy patter of my spiritual director," Almodóvar has said (1996), articulating a postmodern belief in art over religion that will come to be shared by his characters.
Perhaps surprisingly, given the censorship of the time, Almodóvar was also able to see the first films of the French New Wave, as well as work by Bergman, Buñuel, Pasolini, Visconti and Antonioni. "They touched me profoundly," Almodóvar has said. "None of these films spoke about my life yet I felt strangely close to the world they described" (Strauss, 2). Later, at the Madrid Film Institute in the 1970s, Almodóvar was exposed to the work of older generations of filmmakers, including the Hollywood comedies of the '30s and '40s (by Lubitsch, Sturges and Leisen) and the work of the German Expressionists: "These films left me speechless as if I'd seen miracles" (Strauss, 5). In addition, Almodóvar was introduced at this time to films by the contemporary American avant garde, including Andy Warhol, Paul Morrissey, John Waters and John Cassavetes.
All of these diverse film influences have found their way into Almodóvar's work at various points. With a sensibility steeped both in the underground and in Hollywood, in comedy and horror, realism and artifice, "high" culture and "low", the director has evoked, quoted, alluded to and parodied the work of the many filmmakers who have inspired him. Cinema referencing in Almodóvar takes a couple of forms. In some instances, the reference is incorporated diagetically: a character sees or talks about a particular movie whose themes reflect those of the Almodóvar film in which it appears (cf. Vidor's Duel in the Sun in Matador, Ray's Johnny Guitar, in Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, Bergman's Autumn Sonata, in High Heels, or Mankiewicz's All About Eve in All About My Mother). Alternatively, a film might be alluded to through a less direct method, such as an echoing of specific shots, themes or aesthetics (cf. the 1950s Hollywood-styled credit sequence in Women on the Verge …, and the film's subsequent nods to Rear Window and Strangers on a Train). Here Almodóvar relies upon the film-savvy viewer to recognise and "place" the reference in its new context. Increasingly, too, Almodóvar has resorted to self-referencing of his own films, with the opening sequence of The Flower of My Secret providing the genesis for All About My Mother and Volver re-using aspects of What Have I Done to Deserve This?!, The Flower of My Secret and High Heels.
In addition to this, Almodóvar sometimes incorporates into his work scenes from a fictional film or film-in-the-making. This meta-cinematic conceit has allowed the director to present his own idiosyncratic takes on the erotic film ("The Paradigm of the Mussel" in Law of Desire), the horror film ("Midnight Phantom" in Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down!), the silent film ("The Shrinking Lover" in Talk to Her) and the religious melodrama ("The Visit" in Bad Education).
Such referencing serves a number of interrelated functions within Almodóvar's work. On the one hand, it allows the director to place his own films within the wider context of cinema history and to self-consciously acknowledge his debt to other filmmakers. (Although Almodóvar always disavows the notion of simply paying "tribute" or "homage" to the films in question.) Referencing cinema also allows Almodóvar to demonstrate his work's difference from the cited texts, which he usually uses simply as a jumping-off point for his own narratives and characters. Sometimes this results in a direct subversion or re-writing of the model film, as when Almodóvar turns a classic comedy of female betrayal (All About Eve) into a celebration of female solidarity in All About My Mother or subverts the tragic fate of Blanche du Bois by refusing to allow any of his heroines in that film to succumb to madness. Cinema referencing also forms part of the director's endeavour to create self-consciously hybridised films, works that might be classified as screwball melodrama, tragicomedy or queer noir.
It is of course film melodrama that has been viewed as the default mode of Almodóvar's output, the genre to which his work most insistently returns. As Arroyo notes, melodrama is an adaptable form, "a mode that cuts across genre, equally capable of conveying the tragic and the comic, eminently emotional, adept at arousing intense audience identification, and capable of communicating complex psychological processes no matter what the character's gender or sexual orientation." In this sense Almodóvar's work both draws on and destabilizes the traditions of melodrama exemplified by the films of a director such as Douglas Sirk. While Sirkian elements within Almodóvar movies are easy enough to identify -- a focus on women's stories; an expressionist approach to color, costume, music and mise-en-scene -- at no time has Almodóvar produced an equivalent film to Todd Haynes's Far From Heaven (2002).
Instead, Almodóvar uses Sirkian tropes -- both thematic and stylistic -- to his own ends, merging them with other influences. Films such as High Heels, The Flower of My Secret, All About My Mother and Volver may all be viewed as being influenced by Sirk, but Sirkian elements are combined throughout with allusions to other films, from Bergman's Autumn Sonata through Cukor's Rich and Famous to Cassavetes' Opening Night. (Clearly, though, a link between these movies, and one of the reasons for their resonance for Almodóvar, is the strong presence of female characters in each of them.) In addition, Almodóvar's protagonists are not subject to the same social strictures as Sirk's and his films can (and usually do) take a far franker approach to sex and violence. As Arroyo rightly points out: "Almodóvar's signature, and a unique contribution to the movies, is the synthesis of the melodramatic mode with a clash of quotations."

Hernia surgery a success!
What a day! I had surgery to repair a hernia on my right side and was in the hospital for eight hours. My wife, Katrina, picked me up and drove me home, and it's a good thing. I'll sleep well tonight.
The surgery was a success. I did my homework when I found out what needed to be done, and I'm really happy to get this taken care of, so I can move on and play without this pain next year. Dr. John Priskett performed the surgery at Baylor University Hospital, and he assured me everything went right. That's great news.
Whatever was wrong in there, it's fixed now. It already feels great. I'll have six to eight weeks of rehab, starting with some light bike work, cardio, and gradually picking up to where I'll be able to work out in mid-January. That will have me ready for Spring Training.
I'm really excited by what Dr. Priskett told me. It was a low-risk, high-reward surgery. The long-term gain is significant. He said, "You're going to feel way better, and you'll play better." That was music to my ears.
He said that once you have this surgery, it never bothers you anymore. No more hernias for me. The only way I'd hurt my other side is compensating for the right side, and that won't happen, because the right side is strong again. So I'll be good to go.
This was my first surgery since 1995 when I had my right knee operated on. My body has been good to me, allowing me to play a lot of baseball, all out, for the Twins in Minnesota and now with the Angels.
I look back on the season, and so many things happened. We lost Nick Adenhart, a teammate and friend, and we mourned and prayed and had to go on and play the season. We did that with passion and purpose, in Nick's honor. It was a great team, one I'll always remember.
For me, the team and Major League Baseball, it was a good year. I think about it all the time. I was on my way to my best season when I got hurt running into walls. The one at Dodger Stadium on May 22, when I caught my buddy Matt Kemp's drive against the wall, I was hurting after that. Then I did it again in San Francisco on June 15, and that messed me up some more.
If I had played the whole season, I could have had 120-plus ribbies, 30-plus homers, scored 100 runs. It was great winning the Silver Slugger Award, but I know I could have done much more.
I knew on that Sunday in Arizona on June 28 that something was really wrong, when I sat at the locker after the game and couldn't move. I was so disappointed that day, knowing I was hurt, but not knowing how bad it was.
I tried to play through it but had to go on the disabled list on July 10 with the adductor strain, and it cost me 32 games. When I came back, I still had some pain but I had to be there for my team, so I played the best I could. We took it to Game 6 in the American League Championship Series at Yankee Stadium after sweeping the Red Sox in Boston. That was an amazing experience.
It's like I kept saying, adrenaline is a pain-killer. But it was a temporary solution. There are some things you can't play through, and sometimes you have to go in and get something taken care of.
I want to thank all the fans who have expressed concern and shown me so much support over the years. I'm a lucky guy to have a great family and so many people care about me. I'm looking forward to taking it easy for a while, going on some dates with my wife and spending time with our sons.
Next thing we know, it will be February, and we'll be playing baseball again in the sun in Arizona. I can't wait to take another run at a championship.

Hey Torii, so glad to hear your home and recovering. Sounds like everything is going well and youre coming back to us better than ever. I have to admit I was a little nervous knowing you were having the surgery so close to Arlington Stadium but it all worked out. Seriously though, So happy you are on the road to recovery not only because of your presence in Centerfield, but also your presence in our community with all you do for charity and the Torii Hunter project. Professional sports needs more folks like yourself out there. Dont ever leave us Torii, not just Anaheim but this Nation of Fans needs you! Happy Holidays to You and all of your family. See you in AZ Bud!!! Get well!
Torii, two years ago your signing made for a great Thanksgiving. I'll count the three run bomb against Boston as this year's Christmas. Thank you for all you do both on and off the field. Have a great recovery and offseason.
Torii hope your recovery is a speedy one. Take care of you, your wife and your sons. Take this time to connect with your family. Baseball will be back sooner then you can imagine. Happy Thanksgiving. We all have so very much to be thankful for. Be Well
Glad to hear good news from you. I can't wait for the next season too!!!!!!! Happy Thanksgiving Torii 🙂
Torii, its great to hear your surgery was a success. Can't wait til spring. I hope to see you healthy and ready for action. I hope we won't be missing our buddy Chone, but it'll be good to get back to playing some good baseball. What a season, eh?
Torii, I speak for all of us in MN when I say we miss you. Sure, your buddy Denard is going to do a fine job developing into a a great MN cf, but when you're ready to come back and play a corner of position, I'm sure Gardy and the rest of the boys will be here with open arms. I know the fans sure will be. Glad to hear your surgery went well and the holidays too. I hope you have a fantastic year and stay healthy! We want young feeling legs under you when you come back home in a few years.

13 Basic Daily Consumer Products/Goods Most Parisians Love & Their Prices.
You've heard the songs, seen the movies and drooled over the Eiffel Tower. Now you're an expat, you're in Paris and anxious to be "one of them." Perhaps you envision a Parisian as someone who sits in a café with a demi-tasse, a baguette and a small plate of cheese. Will there be wine, afterward? You wouldn't be too far off the mark, but let's take away the fairytale and look at the things consumed by the everyday Paris dweller.
Article updated on 18 September 2020
1. Baguette
Is there anything more French than the baguette? Parisians consume millions of them every year, and you can practically find a bakery on every street corner to indulge your craving.
This long, slim loaf is revered for its taste and shape, and there's even a competition among bakers for the best baguette in Paris.
There's a law where the traditional French baguette can only be made with flour, water, yeast or raising agent and salt.
Few deviations are allowed, and preservatives are not.
Typically, you can spend anywhere from 0.90 euros and up for a baguette, depending on whether you buy it from a bakery or a supermarket.
2. Transport
Parisians are avid users of public transit. Sure, they drive, but in a city where options abound from trains to buses, taxis, bicycles or simply going on foot, it's easy enough to save on gas and just go with the flow.
To ride the bus, it will cost around 1.90 to 2.00 euros, or you can buy a book of 10 tickets for adults at a nice discount.
If you ride the train daily, a monthly pass for the Metro is the way to go and gives you the best deal for your money. It costs around 70 euros.
Bicycles are very popular in France, and the options for rentals and daily usage are varied and easy on your pocket.
Velib: http://en.velib.paris.fr/ has hundreds of stations throughout the city, available 24/7.
You can purchase a daily ticket or an annual subscription for unlimited access. Cost for a day ticket is 5.00 euros. Other comparable bicycle sources are Freescoot and Gepetto et Vélos.
Soon you'll be on your bicycle, a baguette, vegetables and wine in your basket as you pedal your way to a friend's party ten blocks down the road.
A taxi, according to the time of day, within the city limits can be anywhere from 1.09 to 2 euros per kilometer. Taxi stands are everywhere, but there may not always be one waiting. You can book a taxi in advance through G7, Taxis Bleus or other companies (meter starts running as soon as you book the ride).
Uber is also an option, though hotly contested by the local taxi drivers.
Walking is one of the best ways to get to know Paris, and guess what? It's free! Unless you're in a hurry, this is the best way to take in the sights, find nifty shortcuts and learn more about your new neighborhood. You can dress to impress and share your newfound sense of Parisian style while you're at it.
3. Mobile phone
Life would be meaningless without a mobile phone, yes? At least, that's the way I feel sometimes. What would I do without immediate access to, well, everything? The French are just as obsessed with their phones as the rest of the world. There are many options available to Parisians, similar to the U.S. and other countries.
A local can get a mobile phone with or without a contract. If with a contract, it's usually from 12 to 24 months, and the offer comes with a new phone at a reduced price and a monthly fee, depending on unlimited data plans, and other options. Main providers include: Orange, SFR and Free. Prices can be as low as 19.99 euros a month.
A useful resource for comparing mobile phone subscriptions is Edcom. Click on there for a sample of price comparisons with unlimited SMS. Mobile phones without contracts are typically bought at cost, no discounts included.
The main providers that have cheap plans include Série Red, Sosh, Free and Virgin Mobile.
Prepaid offers mean you pay as you go, no subscription needed. Credit is purchased over the phone or from a cashier in a store designated as a seller of prepaid phone credit.
4. Cable TV & internet
In France, there is an annual mandatory tax for a TV license. It costs 138 euros, one per household. The license funds services provided by Radio France and France Télévisions. It is collected as part of local taxes.
Free channels include TF1 (the most watched network), France 2, France 3, France 5, and M6. You can purchase cable or satellite service for a broader selection. A list of programming can be found in 20 Minutes and A Nous Paris.
Cable TV
The largest provider for Cable TV is Numericable-SFR. The kinds of offers available can be seen here, beginning at 35.00 euros.
Satellite TV
If a Parisian is interested in English-language programming, then Satellite TV seems to be the best choice. Depending on offers during promotions, fees may either be waived or could cost up to 199 euros for installation. Monthly payments start at 30 euros per month. CanalSat is the main provider.
Internet service is usually bundled with either cable or satellite TV service and a phone line. The cost starts at around 35.99 euros per month. Providers include Orange, Free, SFR and Bouygues Telecom.
Internet cafes are everywhere in Paris. It is typically 5 euros per hour or so. Locations include Milk Internet, Les Halles and Saint-Michel, to name a few.
WiFi (pronounced "weefee")
Image by arkangel courtesy of Que Faire à Paris
Many hotspots can be found in Paris, including libraries, museums and parks. Some are free, some aren't. I love free stuff, and I suspect you do, too. It's easy enough to find such an option, but bear in mind, it's polite to at least buy something from the place where you're typing away on your soon-to-be-trendy blog. Hippocketwifi.com may also be a competitive alternative for internet needs at 30 euros a month if you have a plan for over 6 months. Information about free hotspots may be found here.
5. Coffee
Parisians adore coffee, especially an espresso while sitting in a café, working on a laptop using "weefee". You can spend ridiculous amounts of money at a pretentious location, for the sake of the ambience and clientele and people-watching—wait, was that Juliette Binoche? Or you can search around a bit and get an espresso that tastes just as good for about 1 euro by using this handy map. Paris by Mouth has a "decent" coffee guide. Lindsey of Lost in Cheeseland gives addresses of where to drink specialty coffee in Paris. Here's her post.
6. Water
Water is a precious commodity in France. There's even a law concerning getting water for free with a meal at restaurants. It's common in a parisian restaurant to hear the expression "une carafe d'eau s'il vous plait". This implies "free water".
Still, many Parisians use bottled water, or a filter such as Brita to purify it. In fact, you may find that many restaurants and cafés "up-sell" bottled water or mineral water in order to make money, so they say. There are also public drinking Wallace fountains in Paris. A packet of 6 bottles of water, 0.5 litres each costs at least 1 euro at the grocery store. Water is a right in France. Water flows freely from the Seine from our taps into our homes and apartments. Here's what David Lebovitz wrote about it back in 2013.
7. Patisserie (Pastry, Dessert)
What's better with your espresso, hot chocolate or glass of wine? Pastry, of course! Patisserie is a French art and world-renown. You can find the pastry you want at any level of creation from the grocery store and the bakery down the street to haute patisserie. Prices vary, naturally, depending on what you are buying, and from whom.
Expect to spend a little over 7 euros for an éclair or tarte at a place like Pierre Hermé. Whatever the price, though, it's absolutely worth it. Hmm, now I'm hungry.
8. A Glass (or two) of Wine
Wine is practically a French pastime. Whether you buy it by the glass or bottle, the options are plentiful. Wine can be purchased at the supermarket (the cheapest place to get wine) 7.90 euros for a bottle. Another option is the wine store, which is a little bit more expensive than the supermarket. Small corner markets called L'epicerie can also be used for wine necessities. They are open late, too. But the prices there tend to be double that of the supermarket. I guess it depends on how much of an aficionado you are, or how desperate.
9. News
Media in France is pretty much like everywhere else. There are local newspapers on the street, online sources, broadcast stations and twenty-four-hour news casting from which you can get your news fix. One source of news that is not only revered by the French but much of the world, is France 24. It has three TV channels which broadcast in French, English and Arabic. The mission is to provide "a global public service and a common editorial stance." It is available via cable, satellite, ADSL, on mobile phones, tablets and connected TVs. Other popular sources of media include Euronews, TF1, France Télévisions, Radio France Internationale and TV5.
10. Parks, Gardens & Cemeteries
Paris has a lot of parks. I mean, a lot. You practically trip over them as you move through the city. Many are free and hold fascinating attractions. Others have a fee to see something specific. For example, in the Jardin des Plantes, the Alpine garden and Jardin des Plantes are free, but the Ménageries is between 7 and 9 euros per person. There are many free parks to choose from, including The Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, located in the 19th arrondissement. Walking through the park itself is a dream, and it has spectacular views of the city at night. Another park of note is The Bois de Vincennes, also, free and Paris's biggest park. It also has the Cartoucherie theatre complex. The Jardins des Tuileries has a chic promenade and beautiful sculptures, all for free. You could get lost in the variety of outdoor experiences available in Paris. Perhaps you'll meet someone new while you explore.
11. Museums
Museums are beloved in France. Many of them in Paris offer free or reduced admissions, at least on certain days or at special times of the month. Otherwise, it's best to purchase a Paris Museum Pass to the many (more than 60) museums in and around Paris. It costs €52 € for 48 hours (2 days), €66 for 96 hours (4 days) or €78 for 144 hours (6 days). For more information, including a full list of museums covered by the pass, go to Paris Museum Pass.
12. Entertainment
Movies, concerts, festivals. The options for entertainment are endless here and the locals love them all. If you like concerts, there are any number to choose from, ranging from free to 90 euros or so in cost, depending on the act, per person. Check out lylo.fr for a Paris concert guide (and some are free).
Going to the Theatre will cost anywhere from 15 to 70 euros depending on age and the show being seen. You can see a reasonably priced show at the Comedie Francaise, or the Comedie des Boulevard.
The best options for movies, if you're a fanatic, I mean, avid moviegoer, is to get a membership. For 20 euros a month you can see any film you like at the cinema. Allocine.fr gives you a list of what is currently playing. Art films are popular here, too, and you can get your fill at the Grand Action, Filmothèque du Quartier Latin or the Cinématheque Française.
13. Electricity & Gas
As for utilities, a Parisian can spend up to 200 euros each month. It roughly breaks down into Internet at 30 euros; cell phone calls/data per minute at 0.30 euros; electricity, water and trash pickup at around 110 euros. For 2 people living in a 85m2 flat, it could be as little of 153 euros per month.
Now, after reading all this, are you ready to be a Parisian?

Time for some quick arithmetic: Is 3600 x 4.4 x 104 x 32 larger or smaller than 3 x 109?
Finding the right answer, says Sanjoy Mahajan, associate director for teaching initiatives at MIT's Teaching and Learning Lab, does not require crafting a long, tedious calculation. Instead, the key to solving this problem -- and many others -- lies in having informal tools on hand that let us attack the problem. Though the result may not be perfectly precise, he believes, intuitive mathematical reasoning is often sufficient for our needs.
"That's not to say exact answers aren't useful," says Mahajan, "but if looking for them is your only approach, you may never get any answer at all. Sometimes it's better to start with something rough."
So while conventional math teaching is often a highly formal affair, with an emphasis on definitions, theorems, and proofs, Mahajan believes we should learn practical math tools and understand why they work. He outlines this philosophy -- and explains those tools -- in a new book, Street-Fighting Mathematics: The Art of Educated Guessing and Opportunistic Problem-Solving, being published this month by MIT Press.
Street-Fighting Mathematics has its origins in a course Mahajan, who has a PhD in physics, began teaching at MIT three years ago during the Independent Activities Period (IAP), the winter-break session in which students can take extra courses that emphasize hands-on learning. He says the book is intended for "students, practicing engineers, scientists, anyone who has to use mathematics to solve problems and get rough answers quickly."
Given its practical focus, Street-Fighting Mathematics is not organized around traditional math topics, such as differential equations, but ways of thinking: reasoning by analogy, visualizing geometric problems, and more. Readers can then answer all manner of questions: Guessing the number of babies in the United States, calculating the bond angles in methane, or determining the drag that air exerts on a 747.
To make math an active enterprise for his students, Mahajan requires that they give him feedback about the course readings in advance of his lectures. Building on the work of Sacha Zyto, a PhD student in mechanical engineering, Mahajan has helped develop an online system called "NB" in which students annotate the reading materials via PDF files. This method helps Mahajan evaluate the clarity of his presentations and see which ideas stymie students most often, while even allowing students to answer other students' queries.
So let's get back to the initial question (the numbers relate to the storage capacity of a data CD-ROM). The key to solving it, says Mahajan, is to recognize that the components of the first, messy-looking number can be broken into powers of 10. Then we can temporarily set aside these powers of 10 -- Mahajan calls this "taking out the big part," one of his tenets of problem-solving -- while handling the smaller, simpler multiplication problem.
Okay: Picture the number as (3.6 x 103) x (4.4 x 104) x (3.2 x 101). To multiply powers of 10 in practice, we add them, here producing 108. Leave that aside momentarily and multiply 3.6 x 4.4 x 3.2. The answer is about 50, or 5.0 x 101. Combine that with 108, and we have our answer: Roughly 5.0 x 109, which is bigger than 3 x 109.

The project will include construction of two lanes of travel in each direction with a raised median and left- and right-turn lanes at major intersections. Other improvements include sidewalks, a trail along the west side of 56th Street, storm sewers, utilities, lighting, the reconstruction of the Beal Slough and a pedestrian undercrossing. The project is expected to begin in 2014, and federal funds are covering about 80 percent of the cost.
The open house will not include a formal presentation, but those attending will be able to review the proposed plans and discuss the project with representatives from the design team and City staff.
The meeting room is accessible for persons with disabilities. Those requiring additional special accommodations are asked to contact Kris Humphrey, City Engineering Services, at 402-326-1176.

Fred Durst once did it all for the nookie. Now he's doing it all for The Noise. The CW is developing a one-hour drama project with the Limp Bizkit frontman based on his life.
The Noise, created by Durst, chronicles the rise of a young artist in the 1990s who escapes a tumultuous home life and forms a wildly popular band with a unique sound. Durst, of course, hit it big with his rap metal band Limp Bizkit, which formed in 1994 and went on to superstardom with hits like "Nookie," "Break Stuff" and their cover of George Michael's "Faith."
Durst is a co-executive producer on the script, while Miles Feld is writing. Eric Tannenbaum and Kim Tannenbaum are executive producers, through CBS TV Studios.
This marks the second time Durst has worked on a TV series about his life. Two years ago CBS developed the sitcom Douchebag, also with Durst and the Tannenbaums, about a rock star balancing his wild ways and his young family.
As the popularity of rap metal waned, Durst has focused on film and TV in recent years. He directed the 2007 feature The Education of Charlie Banks and 2008's The Longshots, plus earlier this year executive produced the feature Pawn Shop Chronicles.

A boy named Beau and his puppy named Theo are the stars of an Instagram photo series that's got people across the Internet saying "Awww."
The two are napping companions and mom Jessica Shyba of the blog Momma's Gone Citycaptured the special moments with her camera.
Shyba and her family adopted the puppy from the Santa Cruz SPCA earlier this month. The mixed breed dog didn't like sleeping alone. Shyba tried crate training him but Theo would cry through the night. A few days later, Theo fell asleep on top of Shyba's napping toddler son.
"I was practically howling at the cuteness-and nearly woke them both up," Shyba writes onMomma's Gone City.
"The following day, Theo met us up in my room for the nap time ritual, and so began what I can only describe as the most organic and beautiful friendship I have ever witnessed," Shyba continues.
"Each day, Theo meets us at naptime and waits patiently for Beau to fall asleep. By that time, he's also sleepy, so when I hoist him onto our bed, he stumbles over to Beau and plops right down on top of him. And there they sleep, entwined, for at least two hours."
Shyba started posting daily napping photos on her Instagram account and on her blog. The images quickly went viral and have been featured in the New York Daily News and the Huffington Post and on ABC News.
Theo is part Boxer, part shepherd, and part Labrador retriever. Shyba says he was the shyest puppy at the Santa Cruz SPCA. He was from a litter of 11 and abandoned as a baby. He has found happiness and lots of sleep with Shyba and her family.

In the new issue of Consumer Reports, the cover story is their annual look at TV, phone and Internet service (Here's a news article about it.). Their description of cable's position in the marketplace is perhaps the most positive that I've seen in CR's coverage, but I do have a few nits to pick with the article.
The good news is that some cable operators receive high marks from consumers about the service they receive. While some cable companies are not viewed positively, there seems to be a general air against incumbents. In other words, when it comes to video service, the incumbent cable providers are not viewed as positively as newer competitors; however, when it comes to telephone service, cable is viewed more positively than traditional phone providers.
In addition, Consumer Reports' reader survey points out something that's been known for some time: Customers who take bundled service are happier with their provider. Since cable first rolled out Internet access and then telephone service – as well as services such as DVRs, HD and digital cable – we have seen the take rates increase dramatically for the new services. Consumers are getting more out of their cable subscriptions, and by bundling Internet access and phone with their video service, they've also been able to see savings.
Now for a few factual problems…
The article lumps together the services provided by the phone companies (AT&T's U-verse & Verizon's FiOS) as "fiber-optic service." In fact, while Verizon has widely deployed fiber, AT&T is still using twisted copper pair. You may recall that cable has a hybrid fiber-coaxial infrastructure.
A sidebar of the costs of TV service completely bungles its analysis of the impact of CableCARDs, but more distressingly, the article gets its description of E911 wrong.
Emergency 911 service varies among technologies. Fiber phone service uses the same long-proven location system as a landline phone. New cable-phone and other VoIP 911 services are less universally dependable.
The section on emergency phone use seems to confuse cable's phone service, which transports your call over cable companies' privately managed IP networks, with VoIP services such as Vonage, which use the public Internet for transport. The concern is that when a customer calls into a 911 operator, emergency responders should be able to know where the household is located – and that in the case of VoIP calls transport entirely over the public Internet, that may not be possible. Cable operators do not have this problem. As the article notes, phone service from cable or U-verse/FiOS may need to instead rely on a cell phone in the case of a power outage.
In a section on Internet speeds, the article argues that only 1 Mbps is necessary for most customers. That's not a problem for cable customers, since the average standard speed typically exceeds 5 Mbps, but it seems a little silly to argue that very high speeds, such as cable is offering now through the DOCSIS 3.0 standard, are mostly a "marketing game." Certainly, not everyone needs 50 to 105 Mbps, but I think 1 Mbps is hardly adequate these days.
I also found it telling that they buried the cord-cutting strategies at the back of the article. You can just rely on an antennae and over-the-air broadcast television, but if you have reception issues, then you'll be out of luck. You can turn to the Internet, but content is limited there as well, and you'll still need to subscribe to an Internet connection.
In the end, it seems like consumers are being serviced quite well by today's vibrantly competitive marketplace.

Singer Jordin Sparks is having second thoughts about her purity pledge after confessing she is "smitten" with her new boyfriend Jason Derulo.
The No Air hitmaker was first linked to the R&B star in September, when insiders spotted the cosy couple at his 22nd birthday party. Derulo finally confirmed the dating rumours earlier this month, revealing the couple had grown really close after he fractured a vertebrae in his neck - and now former American Idol champ Sparks has broken her silence on the blossoming romance.
During an appearance on U.S. breakfast show Today on Monday, she explained, "It actually came out of left field, I've known him for a couple of years and there was never anything there. We were just being acquaintances but he just kind of came out of left field and swept me off my feet. I'm quite smitten with the guy, I must say."
And Sparks, who wears a purity ring as a pledge to remain a virgin until marriage, admits she can imagine herself getting really serious with her boyfriend.
She adds, "I don't wear it (purity ring) exactly everyday anymore but I always have something there. When I was 13 my mom spoke to me about purity and waiting for marriage and different things like that. And, you know, at the time I was like, 'Sure that's great,' but I can't say what's gonna happen a couple of months from now. People grow."

Introduction to Gyroplanes
If you have ever seen one fly in person it will leave a lasting impression.
If you ever fly one it may addict you.
Gyroplanes are sort of a combination of an airplane and a helicopter that offers advantages over both.
Unlike an airplane, gyroplanes cannot stall or spin.
Unlike a helicopter, they are always in autorotation so whether the engine is running or not they are 100% controllable and can land with the grace of a bird

Admit it, despite the fact that San Antonio's Tony Parker hasn't missed fewer than 10 games in any of his previous three seasons, you thought you were going to make it through 2011 with an almost completely healthy Tony Parker. What's next? Manu and Granger remain healthy all season? Iggy and Dalembert actually miss a game. Don't be stupid. Things like that never happen. No, you (and me) and likely any team doing well in their leagues are going to be doing less well with Monsieur Parker shelved due to a calf strain. I told you to pick up George Hill (and Gary Neal for you deep leaguers in no hurry) yesterday. Today he's likely to be gone. If he's not gone, it's probably because the rest of your league stopped paying attention back when Rashard Lewis was still "just slumping a bit." If that's the case, why are you still only in second?
Here's what else went down in fantasy basketball last night:
Antawn Jamison -His season is over. Back date that statement to October. Almost every Cleveland forward will benefit from this, but not enough to make a clear winner emerge here. My guess is that the Cavs (magically) become even more awful and no one really steps up.
Andrew Bogut – Hurt his ribcage on Saturday, couldn't practice Monday, won't play today. Might miss more days.
Josh Smith – And the hurts just keep on rolling! He pulled or strained or jerked his MCL late in the first half and didn't return in the second. The early word is that he's okay and won't miss time. You know what they say, the early word gets to affirm.
Kirk Hinrich – Wonky knee and a ton of games all stacked up close together forced him out of this one. He'll be in the next one.
Jeff Green – 5/2, with a block in 19 minutes. If I had told you that a healthy Glen Davis would hold almost twice as much value as a healthy Jeff Green on March 1, you would have spit in my salad. Then I would have looked at you and kept eating it. I know I would do this because if I was eating a salad, it must have meant I was friggin' starving and absolutely anything would do.
John Wall – 9/3/10, with two steals, but forced up a ton of terrible shots against Chicago's D. Still, he's my choice for Rookie of the Year in a world where Blake Griffin played games last season. I wrote a bit more about it on my sister-site. (Plug!) There's more basketball graphs to help you crawl out of that depression you don't want anyone to know about. That's right. I noticed. You can't sneak that shizz past me.
Andray Blatche – I had Blatche pegged to have a terrible game against the Bulls, returning from his hip injury. Turns out, he played the best among the Wiz (14/11). The Bulls gore almost everyone they face. But just as the occasional Spainard or rodeo clown makes it over a wall before getting a horn shoved through their mouths. Blatche was that rodeo clown last night.
Joakim Noah – 19/11, on 8-for-10 shooting.In his first four games since returning from injury he's averaging 10.3/13. Also, the league is a brighter place.
Steve Nash – Shooting 10-of-39 (.256) in his last three games.How the hell is Brandon Jennings (.389) shooting better than Nash and Chris Paul (.367) in the last five games!?! The fit has really hit the shan now.
Anthony Morrow – One of the six best games of the season. 22/3/2, with five threes. We were kinda hoping this would be one of his 30 best games at this point, but whatever.
Brook Lopez – 28/10. Whoa there, Brook! Way to grab rebounds while Channing Frye hangs out by the three-point line!
Danilo Gallinari – Out 7-10 days with a broken toe. Last week was the trade deadline and rosters went bonkers. This week is apparently the deadline to eff up fantasy rosters right before the playoffs start. I have a team with Smoove, Parker, Felton and Gay. So first place was fun for a couple months. Imagine how giddy I am right now.
Raymond Felton – Hey! Speak of the devils! 16/5/7 in 30 minutes off the bench, six more minutes than Ty Lawson (6/3/3). My hands have been thrown in the air. Before the end of this sentence I will begin waving them around as if I just don't care.
J.R. Smith – Had eight points through three quarters and ended with 19. Betcha he doesn't clear 13 in the next game.
Kenyon Martin – Averaging 16/10.5 in his last two. But more importantly, he looks good. Nimble, but in a manly way. I'm surprised to find myself recommending him.
Al Jefferson – Jefferson's going off lately. In his last six games he's averaging an Amar'e-like 27.2/11, along with 2 bpg. I'm not going to say he didn't get along with Deron Williams … so that's the end of this blurb.
Mo Williams – 16/2/5, with five steals in his debut with the Clippers. It's likely that he's happier to be in L.A. than on a terrible team that clearly haunted him in some way. And although I don't expect him to dominate, Tonight's line (in addition to .389, with 2 treys and three tovs) is completely reasonable. Also, I never thought I'd see the day where getting sent to the Clippers was a gigantic step up.
DeMarcus Cousins – Shot 1-for-8 from the bench. DeMerit Cousins.
Marcus Thornton – KaBoOm! Hit a season-high 29 points, on the strength of his free throw-shooting (10-for-12). He also had three steals and the Kings won. Monty Williams generally ignored the Hornets winning record in games Thornton played more than 22 minutes and I certainly wouldn't put it past Westphal. A nice speculative pickup now on the strength of Thornton's perfomance mingled in with the weakness of the Sacramento Kings.

Pantone Unveils Color of the Year for 2010:
PANTONE 15-5519 Turquoise
Turquoise Transports Us to an Exciting, Tropical Paradise While Offering a Sense of Protection and Healing in Stressful Times
CARLSTADT, N.J., Dec. 8, 2009 –Pantone LLC, an X-Rite company (NASDAQ: XRIT), and the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries, today announced PANTONE® 15-5519 Turquoise, an inviting, luminous hue, as the color of the year for 2010. Combining the serene qualities of blue and the invigorating aspects of green, Turquoise evokes thoughts of soothing, tropical waters and a languorous, effective escape from the everyday troubles of the world, while at the same time restoring our sense of wellbeing.
"In many cultures, Turquoise occupies a very special position in the world of color," explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. "It is believed to be a protective talisman, a color of deep compassion and healing, and a color of faith and truth, inspired by water and sky. Through years of color word-association studies, we also find that Turquoise represents an escape to many – taking them to a tropical paradise that is pleasant and inviting, even if only a fantasy."
Whether envisioned as a tranquil ocean surrounding a tropical island or a protective stone warding off evil spirits, Turquoise is a color that most people respond to positively. It is universally flattering, has appeal for men and women, and translates easily to fashion and interiors. With both warm and cool undertones, Turquoise pairs nicely with any other color in the spectrum. Turquoise adds a splash of excitement to neutrals and browns, complements reds and pinks, creates a classic maritime look with deep blues, livens up all other greens, and is especially trend-setting with yellow-greens.
In fashion, Turquoise makes a statement that can look elegant and dressy in fine silk and gemstones, or casual and fun in cotton and athletic apparel. Because of its versatility, Turquoise is a great accent color in jewelry, purses, shoes, hair accessories and even nail polish for women, and ties, shirts and sportswear for men.
For brides wanting a flattering choice for attendant apparel and accessories on their big day, Turquoise is now one of the nearly 200 PANTONE WEDDING Colors available from Dessy, a leading manufacturer of bridesmaid, social occasion and flower girl dresses, as well as destination wedding gowns under the labels Dessy Collection, After Six, Alfred Sung, Lela Rose Bridesmaid and Sandals Destination Wedding Dresses.
