Summer Olympics in Britain Helped Encourage the Growth of Wi-Fi in Public Places →
The Summer Olympics gave Britain not only a psychological lift, but a spate of free public Wi-Fi networks as well. In preparations for the Games, the operators O2 U.K., Virgin Mobile, BT and the Cloud carved up public places across the British capital, broadcasting open wireless networks in major squares, airports and subways and on train platforms.Free Wi-Fi service is becoming an important tool for operators in maintaining quality mobile service during a time of skyrocketing data traffic, congested mobile networks and, for travelers, costly roaming charges.Public Wi-Fi networks have sprung up in many big cities. According to Informa, a research firm, the number of Wi-Fi hot spots worldwide will reach 5.8 million by the end of 2015, up from 800,000 in 2010. Eight of the world’s 10 biggest mobile operators are using Wi-Fi to offload their cellular data traffic.In New York City, free public Wi-Fi is available in 20 parks from AT&T. Google and Boingo, a maker of Wi-Fi equipment, are sponsoring free Wi-Fi at five New York subway stations, and the city is broadcasting free Wi-Fi from 20 pay phones.In Paris, free Wi-Fi is available at some Metro stations, train stations and bus stops from a company called Gowex. In Hong Kong, the mobile operator PCCW runs 10,000 Wi-Fi access points, some free. In Tokyo, KDDI, another operator, has 120,000 hot spots.In London, the rush to blanket public Britain with Wi-Fi attracted not only mobile operators like O2, owned by Telefónica of Spain, but the landline operator BT; a virtual mobile operator, Virgin; and the satellite TV broadcaster BSkyB. -

Hi Everyone!
Med School starts tomorrow and I’ve been planning how to eat healthy and efficiently. Here are some tips from me and Dr. Barbara Rolls’s The Ultimate Volumetrics Diet book (Facebook & Amazon). For lunch salads, I buy mostly pre-cut and washed items to quickly throw together. For dinners, I use whole vegetables and prepare them quickly, mostly by boiling. I’m not a fan of frozen vegetables because mine always end up soggy…I also prepare big batches of grains and refrigerate them for the week. However, I did see some frozen cubed butternut squash and frozen cooked lentils that looked promising. I absolutely hate frozen zucchini…bleghhh soggy tasteless mess.
What’s more important for you? Saving time or saving money?
Hope everything is going well! I miss everyone =)

6 Ways To Reuse Orange Rinds
Recently, Sebrina wrote about amazing uses for lemon beyond eating. That got me thinking about another citrus fruit, the orange, and what its rind can be used for once it’s peeled away.
Air Freshener
You can get that fresh orangey smell in your home without using any harmful sprays by either boiling up your orange rinds or putting them into your dehydrator. Your room will be immersed in the wonderful orange smells and you won’t have to worry about breathing in any toxic fumes.
Odor Neutralizer
After you are done dehydrating your orange rinds as an air freshener, put them in a cotton bag and hang them in a spot to help neutralize odors. The bathroom is a prime location for this.
Glass Cleaner
You can boil up the orange rinds and use the boiled water to wash your mirrors. This is more friendly smelling glass cleaner than using straight vinegar. -
