Image source: https://sobarnes.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/tupina-best-restaurant-jean-pierre-xiradakis.jpeg

Any trip through any region of France is likely to be a culinary adventure. It is a country in which the national cuisine is like a religion that everyone believes in and delicious home-cooked food can be found in even the humblest brasserie. But while France is generally thought of as the home of excellent cuisine, it does not mean that each department doesnt have its own unique taste and flavour. From the crepes of the north to the fish stews of the south, every region has its own proud culinary traditions.
One of the great pleasures of taking a leisurely French barge cruise through a specific region of the country is the chance to immerse yourself in the cuisine of the district and to get to know the unique flavours, ingredients and preparations used in the local food.

The Local Ingredients of Bordeaux

The first thing youll notice on your French barge cruise through the beautiful countryside of Bordeaux is the access to a range of wonderful fresh, local ingredients. A landscape which includes wide stretches of fields given over to farming, the rivers which wind their way across the region, and the Atlantic coast which marks its border all contribute to the wonderful dishes of Bordeaux. From fresh Atlantic oysters and the local delicacy of lamprey to the wild cpes mushrooms found in its woodlands and forests, the natural environment of Bordeaux is reflected in its cuisine.

As well as the food grown on the land, youll find a range of livestock is reared in this fertile environment. Particularly famous in the region are the milk-fed baby lambs of Pauillac and the sheep whose milk is used to make a famous local delicacy: Roquefort cheese. Of course it is the wine, especially Cognac and Armagnac, that is the most famous export of the region; unsurprisingly, all of them compliment the delicious local cuisine.

Dishes to Savour

On a European Waterways French barge cruise your on-board chef will use many of these fresh, locally sourced ingredients to create some of the excellent dishes served during your journey. Delicacies including pt de fois gras, lamb with truffles, and cpes prepared with breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley and ham, may all find their way to the fine-dining table. Our chefs believe in the traditional approach to French regional cuisine a local aperitif is served before meals, and a feast of three courses begin with a delicate amuse bouche to literally get your gastric juices flowing.

There are few better ways to end a meal in Bordeaux than with a glass of local Cognac or Armagnac to aid digestion and finish off the evenings delights. Whether you choose to enjoy it on the deck of your barge watching the slow meandering of the water below you, or in the company of friends in the elegant dining room, every meal will feel like a feast to remember. In France food is a way of life and there is nowhere better to enjoy the relaxing, indulgent approach to excellent cuisine than on a French barge cruise through beautiful Bordeaux.

Single ventricle heart defects

You all know that heart has four chambers. The first two upper chambers of heart are collectively called as atria, and atria collect the blood flowing into the heart. The last two chambers of heart called as ventricle helps to pump out the blood from heart. Single ventricle defect is called for a child born with heart that has problems for one lower chamber of heart. This lower chamber, ventricle may be small, underdeveloped or missing a valve.

Signs and symptoms for single ventricle heart defects

Difficulty in breathing and feeding
Skin, lips and nails will have blue or purple tint.
Lethargy

Treatments for Single ventricle defects

Single ventricle defects need a series of open heart procedures called staged reconstruction. In some cases cardiac catheterization is also performed.

Single ventricle heart defects include:-----

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS)

This is a severe heart defect (congenital heart defect) in which left side of heart is not fully developed. Child with hypoplastic left heart syndrome will have a small left ventricle and also have a closed or too small mitral and aortic valve. 

Signs and symptoms for hypoplastic left heart syndrome

Difficulty in breathing and feeding
Skin, lips and nails will have blue or purple tint.
Lethargy

Diagnosis for hypoplastic left heart syndrome

Cardiac MRI
Cardiac catheterization
Chest X-ray
Electrocardiogram
Pulse oximetry (to detect the content of oxygen in blood)
Echocardiogram

Treatment for hypoplastic left heart syndrome

Open heart surgery is done to correct hypoplastic left heart syndrome. In some cases additionally catheter therapies are done. And in rare cases heart transplantation is needed for hypoplastic left heart syndrome.

Tricuspid atresia

Tricuspid valve opens to right atrium and right ventricle. A child with tricuspid atresia will have only one ventricle (left ventricle) functioning and have poorly developed right heart structures. Tricuspid atresia have the following characteristic

No tricuspid valve  
Have smaller right ventricle
ASD (atrial septal defect)
VSD (ventricular septal defect)
Tricuspid atresia is often associated with pulmonary stenosis and transposition of great arteries

Signs and symptoms for tricuspid atresia

Fatigue
Poor weight gain
Shortness of breath
Heart murmur
Difficulty feeding
Cyanosis (Skin, lips and nails will have blue or purple tint)
In older children, there will be abnormal shape for finger tips.

Diagnosis for tricuspid atresia

Cardiac catheterization
Electrocardiogram
Blood test
Echocardiogram
Chest X-ray

Treatment for tricuspid atresia

Baby with tricuspid atresia require prostaglandin medication and three surgeries namely Blalock-Taussig shunt, Hemi-Fontan/Glenn,and Fontan

Double outlet left ventricle (DOLV)

Double outlet left ventricle is a rare birth defect (congenital heart defect) appears in children and it occurs when the aorta and pulmonary artery both exit from the left ventricle. The only pathway for blood to flow into the lungs is a hole that connects the two ventricles (ventricular septal defect). 

Symptoms for Double outlet left ventricle

Skin, lips and nails will have blue or purple tint
Poor weight gain
Shortness of breath
Unresponsiveness
Sweating during feeding
Irregular fatigue
 In some cases your child will have pulmonary outflow tract obstruction, aortic outflow tract obstruction, and other cardiac abnormalities

Diagnosis for Double outlet left ventricle

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Cardiac catheterization
Chest X-ray
Electrocardiogram
Echocardiography

Treatment for Double outlet left ventricle

Surgery is performed for Double outlet left ventricle, and during this procedure VSD is corrected. In some cases cardiac surgeons will perform a bidirectional Glenn procedure followed by a Fontan operation

Heterotaxy syndrome

It is a rare birth defect that involves heart and other organs.  There are two types of heterotaxy syndrome and they are

Right atrial isomerism

Children with right atrial isomerism have multiple heart defects including

Septal defects
Problems with heart valves (particularly pulmonary heart valve)
Anomalous pulmonary venous connection (abnormalities of blood coming back from lungs to heart)
Absence of spleen
Liver and other organs on wrong side of the body

Left atrial isomerism

Children with left atrial isomerism have

Septal defects
Problems with heart valves
Problems with hearts electrical system
Complete heart block
There will be no spleen or may have polysplenia (several small spleens)

Signs and symptoms for heterotaxy syndrome

Difficulty in breathing and feeding
Skin, lips and nails will have blue or purple tint.
Lethargy

Diagnosis for heterotaxy syndrome

Cardiac MRI
Cardiac catheterization (some rare cases)
Chest X-ray
Electrocardiogram
Echocardiogram

Treatment for heterotaxy syndrome

Cardiac catheterization and surgical procedures are done for left atrial isomerism
For abnormal heart rhythm implantable pacemakers (defibrillators) are required.
For right atrial isomerism, no treatments are required, but patients with left atrial isomerism need to visit pediatric cardiologist regularly for medical checkups.

Most of the patients with Left atrial isomerism and right atrial isomerism need lot of heart surgeries

Congenital heart disease

These are inborn birth defect affecting different conditions of heart. Different types of congenital defects are PDA, ASD, VSD, AVC, TGA, TOF, DORV, truncus arteriosus, tricuspid atresia, pulmonary atresia, CoA, AS, HLHS

Diagnosis for congenital heart disease

Fetal echocardiogram
Electrocardiogram
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Cardiac catheterization

Treatment for congenital heart disease

Treatment for congenital heart disease are

Medications
Heart surgery
Cardiac catheterization

All You Need to Know About Congenital Heart Disease

Image source: https://www.heartkids.org.au/Images/UserUploadedImages/474/CHD%20Facts.png

Congenital heart disease is a term used to define a group of different kinds of conditions that affect the heart. These problems will begin to affect the babys heart during while the baby is in the womb. Congenital heart disease is categorized to know the problems that baby may experience. And they are

Problems that cause too much blood to pass through the lungs

These types of congenital heart defect cause increased pressure and stress in the lungs.

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA)

Patent ductus arteriosus is often noticed in premature infants. This defect causes blood to mix between the aorta and the pulmonary artery. While the baby is in the womb, there will be an open passageway between the aorta and the pulmonary artery and this open passageway must close after birth. When this open passageway does not close, some blood returns to the lungs causing Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).

Atrial septal defect

The atrial septal defect causes abnormal blood flow through the heart due to an abnormal opening between the right and left atria (two upper chambers of the heart).

Ventricular septal defect

The ventricular septal defect causes the blood from the left ventricle to flows back into the right ventricle (due to higher pressure in the left ventricle) because of an abnormal opening between the right and left ventricles (two lower chambers of the heart). This abnormal blood flow often creates congestion in the lungs.

Atrioventricular canal (AVC or AV canal)

Atrioventricular canal is called for complex heart problems that include several abnormalities of structures inside the heart. These structural abnormalities include atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, and improperly formed mitral and/or tricuspid valves.

Problems that cause too little blood to pass through the lungs

These heart problems dont allow oxygen-rich blood to flow throughout the body causing the baby to appear in blue in colour (cyanotic)

Tricuspid atresia There wont be any blood flow from right atrium to the right ventricle due to the absence of tricuspid valve
Pulmonary atresia In this condition pulmonary valve is underdeveloped and pulmonary atresia is a very complicated congenital heart disease
Transposition of the great arteries - Transposition of the great arteries is due to the reverse positions of the pulmonary artery and the aorta
Tetralogy of Fallot - Tetralogy of Fallot is due to four defects

ventricular septal defect;
A Stenosis (narrowing) at or just beneath the pulmonary valve that blocks the flow of blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs;
A right ventricle that is more muscular than normal and often enlarged;
An aorta that lies directly over the ventricular septal defect.

Double outlet right ventricle In this condition, the pulmonary artery, and the aorta are connected to the right ventricle.
Truncus arteriosus - In this condition, the pulmonary artery and the aorta start as a single blood vessel, which will later divide and become two separate arteries. Truncus arteriosus happens when the single great vessel fails to separate completely, leaving a connection between the aorta and pulmonary artery.

Problems that cause too little blood to travel to the body

Body wont get sufficient amount of blood due to these heart defects (underdeveloped chambers of the heart or blockages in blood vessels)

Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) Blood flow to the lower part of the body is obstructed due to narrowing (constricted) of aorta creating increased blood pressure above the constriction.
Aortic stenosis (AS) aortic valve is not properly formed or may be narrowed causing problems in blood flow to the body
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) this is due to a combination of several abnormalities of great blood vessels and heart. 

Causes for congenital heart disease

Most of the reasons are unknown. Some of them are due to

Genetic problems
Medications (anti-seizure medicines) taken by mom for some disease while pregnant

Testing and diagnosis for congenital heart disease

Pediatric cardiologist will prescribe for

Fetal echocardiogram
Electrocardiogram (EKG)
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Cardiac catheterization

Treatments for congenital heart disease

Medications
Cardiac surgery
Cardiac catheterization

All About Sage Essential Oil!

Image source: http://www.ebaytemplatesshop.com/Customer/Cpanel/upload/Authenticoil/sageessential%20oil%20,Z.jpg

ESSENTIAL OIL WARNINGS TO HEED

CAUTION! Avoid sage essential oil if you have: skin sensitivities, breast cancer, high risk of breast cancer, hysteria, history of high blood pressure, or epilepsy. Avoid it if you are pregnant. Do not take alcohol when using this oil, since it can have a narcotic effect. Do not use on babies or children.

CAUTION! Dalmation Oil is more likely to cause skin irritations than other essential oils. Do not expect instantaneous skin care improvements with Dalmation or Clary Sage Oil. It may take three to six months to yield results. Also, you would not want to substitute Clary Sage Oil for Dalmation Sage if you're looking for the same scent of sage, found in a spice jar. Dalmation sage has a bitter, biting, aromatic edge to its scent.

CAUTION! Essential oils contain bioactive ingredients. This means they contain natural chemicals that interact with biological systems. They are potent chemicals and should be used with care. Never use large amounts of essential oils externally, or internally. Never use them straight. They must always be diluted in carrier oil, or soap, lotion, or other buffering agent. Finally, never use them without knowing what their bioactive compounds are known to do.

Adventures in Cake Decorating

Image source: http://cakdecorated.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/adventure-time-cake-decorations-adventure-time-cake-part-one-the-finished-cake-small-red-star.jpg

I am no baker.That is I'd by no means put myself forward as a cook at all, unless you'd call making spaghetti and browning minced-meat for bolognaise sauce culinary achievements.However, there's something about special occasions that brings the frustrated pastry chef out of me and sends me galoping into the kitchen, my head jammed with intricate cake decorating ideas.

It all started when my wife was approaching her thirtieth birthday. I decided to mark her entry into her fourth decade by baking her an amazing cake.I imagined her admiring gaze as she watched me pull this monstrous cake from the hidden depths of our under-used oven.By this time I was so keen to get started that I had to force myself to calm down, sit down, and get my ideas down on paper.I began to sketch a few decorating schemes in red pen on the back of an envelope in time-honored tradition, and eventually decided on a colossal triple-layer chocolate gateau with an enormous suspension bridge spanning a river of blue icing and a little plastic model of our family car perched in safety on top.

I'd like to be able to say that my cake decorating ideas usually come out as gorgeous as I imagine them, but I'm just not so good at being economical with the truth.In this case, the lovely triple-layer chocolate supension bridge cake decorating fantasy turned out as three limp, amorphous layers, crisp at the edges and doughy in the middle, featuring a delightful San Andreas fault running through the centre, as if there had been an earthquake in the oven.It tasted alright but it looked like something that had been salvaged from its own private earthquake.

So when my son's birthday came around, I resolved to try again.On this occasion I decided to plumb for a less imposing single layer cake swearing that I would sit tight and wait for the cake to cool before even thinking about decorating it.I reckoned that by waiting I would avoid the fault lines that had swallowed up the bridge and family car in the adventure on top of my wife's cake.Instead of cooking up intricate cake decorating ideas on the back of an envelope like a power-possessed architect, I resorted to a basic design that would be difficult for even me to make a hash of. Really, it's one thing being able to come up with tons of great decorating ideas, but quite another to pull them off.

I made the body of the cake and let it cool down according to the promise I'd made to myself (and according tothe instructions on the box).It took all my will-power not to dive in brandishing my trusty icing spatula.

This time, I'd chosen to frost with chocolate fudge icing and top it off with my own sketch of a lamb in the centre, which was meant to resemble the cuddly toy my son sleeps with at night, ringed with 5 candles.I figured if I held my natural cake decorating flamboyance in check, the cake would come out okay.And it did.Until I attempted to transfer my creation from the kitchen counter to the fancy plate I'd prepared, lost my balance and dropped it.The result resembled the aftermath of an earthquake, including fires and distraught wildlife.My wife commented on the 'natural disaster theme' that ran through my cake decorating repertoire, which was funny, I guess. At least they both had a good laugh.

I rescued the candles, but the lamb was badly singed and, sadly, did not survive.

Academic Thesis Statements Explained

Image source: http://www.playbestonlinegames.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/thesis-statement-template-nfrteeif.png

Many people become confused with the numerous terms in academia; the difference between an essay and a report can also confuse many people, not just freshers. In order to fully understand what a thesis statement is, you will need to understand that it concentrates on a generalised topic and opinions.

The central topic of a thesis statement generally means that this paper is concerned around an individual topic and the author won't usually venture far, as can be found in a general essay or report. The key element of this paper will be to provide the reader with examples to prove an overall point.

The thoughts and understanding of the topic should be clearly established in the writing, as you the author, will want to paint a realistic picture of what you want to achieve through accurate analyses and definitive information, which will be reviewed in the research process of the paper.

The key element that you need to remember with this paper is that you need to have both contrast and control - you should be providing valid arguments and discussion of the topic/area, on the one side, and the paper should be well structured and planned on the other. You should lead your reader along a road to your understanding and scope of the paper.

Also, you should have a central theme to the paper, as well as specific areas that the paper looks into and analyses. You will need to plan and execute the thesis statement well, in order to understand the whole process. If you plan and execute the paper well, then the rest of your thoughts, understanding, and actual writing will fall into line. You should also remember that this type of paper is persuasive in nature and should lead the reader to a specific ending; your writing and conclusions need to look more realistic, but at the same time definitive.

An ideal view of a thesis statement would be to look at it as a paper that needs to be packed full of accurate and reliable data, which is easily verifiable by the reader; you will not want to write this crucial and critical paper placed on some un-found facts and opinions.

Being in full control of what you are writing and presenting to the reader is a must with this type of paper, and you can not afford to "slip up" or make a mistake. Your professionalism is important here and you do not want to detract the reader from your understanding and ability to deliver on what you set out to do. If your writing looks unfocused and all over the place, then this will provide a haphazard appearance of your work.

You should take advice from lecturers and professors on the content, flow and clarity of your work, and especially if any comments are made on the structure of your work. If your structure isn't positive and linked together, then this can have negative affects on the reader's impression of what your thesis statement is going to achieve.

A thesis statement is also much of your own work and opinions, and you will be more than likely come into contact with people that will disagree categorically with what you have stated or written. You will need to be able to handle this criticism and opinionated argument, and face them with proof and understanding that what you have stated is true and reflective. Most of all, you will need to be able to "stand your ground" through the writing in your thesis statement and when you are questioned verbally about your paper.
