Bibliotheque Nationale de France (Bibliotheque Francois Mitterrand)

The new National Library in the Tolbiac quarter in the east of Paris was dedicated in 1995. Following the extension to the Louvre , the Grande Arche in La Defense , the Ministere des Finances in Bercy and the Opera de la Bastille, this was the last of the extravagant projects by means of which Francois Mitterrand (Famous People) hoped to leave his mark on the history of France.

This spectacular library, covering an area of 7.5ha/18 1/2 acres, was designed by the architect Dominique Perrault. Four 78m/256ft high glass towers, each shaped like an open book, stand at the corners of an inner courtyard 1200sq.m/1435sq.yds in area and planted with Normandy pines; the reading rooms are arranged around it on two floors in cloister-like fashion.

Officially opened in December 1996, it is anticipated that by the end of the millenium its 430 kilometres/270 miles of shelves will accommodate some 11 million books, mainly removed from the old city library in rue Richelieu; the latter will in future be used to house manuscripts, maps and coin collections. With 3600 seats for students - 2000 in the research department on the ground floor and a further 1600 for the general public on the first floor - the National Library boasts dimensions far in excess of comparable institutions in the USA and Great Britain. Valuable items are stored in concrete capsules to avoid damage from climatic changes, those in the towers are kept at a constant temperature and humidity level in multi-glazed containers - the high cost of air-conditioning has already become a political issue. An internal rail system can transport books from the stores to the reading areas within a quarter of an hour.

How to Make Homemade Fruit and Vegetable Juices

Wise man says “an apple a day, keep the doctor away”. That idiom tells us that fruits are essential for our health. To keep the doctor away from your healthy life, keep these laws in your mind:

1. You’ll need an inexpensive juice machine.
2. All fruits and vegetables should be juiced raw.
3. Small seeded fruit, such as watermelon and pears, may be juiced with their seeds with the exception of papaya and apple seeds. Orange and grapefruit seeds might impart a bitter taste to your juice. Remove the large pits from fruits like peaches and nectarines, etc.
4. Peel all fruits and vegetables that are not organically grown because the peel is where most of the chemical residues can be found. While most skins of organically grown fruits and vegetables may be left on, with the exception of waxed produce, the skins of pineapples, kiwis, oranges, grapefruits and papaya should be removed.
5. Choose fresh ripe produce. Rubbery vegetables, bruised fruit, wilted greens and over or under-ripe fruits will produce juices that are neither tasty nor healthful.
6. Cut the fruits or vegetables into pieces that will fit into the mouth of your juice machine. Turn the juice machine on and push the pieces through the mouth of the juicer. As you juice, pulp will collect in a large receptacle.
7. It is best to drink freshly made juices within one day.
Stay Healthy!
