If the world was looking for an Emmanuel Macron figure in Brazil’s upcoming presidential election, some would argue they should look no further than the offices of São Paulo’s controversial millionaire mayor, João Doria. There, a picture of the former businessman shaking hands with France’s president hints at him being a man with his heart in São Paulo but his head focused on Brasília.

In preparation for a senior season at UCLA she hoped would cement her legacy at the school, Monique Billings spent last summer running drills on the court and putting in hours in the weight room - while also working as an intern at Ivan Bitton Style House, which promotes emerging designers in Los Angeles. Just another busy summer for a college basketball star who's proven to be as versatile on the court as off."I'm a Renaissance woman.

Mushrooms have often been a hard pass for many who find their texture to be too similar to that of a slug. But now they're popping up in coffees, chocolate, and soon, a new crop of soaps and hair care. Whole Foods even recently put "functional mushrooms" at the top of their food trends for 2018. Topping that list? The king of course! Meaty and dense, king oyster mushrooms have a unique texture that is often compared to scallops and squid.

Yeah, I know."Driving Under the Influence" is quite possibly the lamest response to the question "What are you in for?" But just a few years ago, I found myself in county lockup at the Los Angeles Central Men's Jail for that very reason. It's all about geography, really. In high school, when friends got thrown in the drunk tank for a night, it was a small-town jail. In a city whose population stretches into the millions, the town jail is a minimum-maximum-security prison.

It was miserable in Warsaw when I fell in love with a soup. That is, admittedly, the best weather to fall in love with a soup: drizzly and windy, the kind of weather where you know if you go outside you’ll spend the rest of the day just a little bit damp, even inside your shoes and your raincoat. The sad kind of weather you feel like you can’t escape. Then there was zurek.

For too many of the Southie women I interviewed for my upcoming book Women of Southie, Finding Resilience During Whitey Bulger's Infamous Reign, prison was as much a character in their stories as Bulger was.It was here they lost the men they loved, and here it was determined when and where they would be with their loved ones, and in what physical and mental state they would find these men.

For 20 minutes last Saturday, the NCAA Tournament second-round matchup between Villanova and Alabama was hotly contested. Alabama's lightning-quick point guard, Collin Sexton, bounced across the hardwood, erratically flashing the package of skills that made him the top-rated NBA prospect on the floor.Then Mikal Bridges took care of business.With a flurry of mystifying step-back threes, Bridges quickly snuffed out any hopes of a March Madness miracle for the Crimson Tide.

My heart is pounding and our guide is yelling something I can't make out. I think he's telling me to paddle harder, so I bend over to put my oar into the water but, to my shock, the water is not there. Turns out, we are on the very crest of the wave, and our raft is almost vertical. Then we crash. The walls of white foam close all around me, and I can barely see, let alone breathe. When we finally come back to the surface, I feel like a sock must feel after spinning inside a washing machine.

The Infinity Bike Seat looks like an artist's incomplete rendering of a bike seat - a sketch, an outline. All perimeter and no middle, dispensing with the tradition of being something to sit on. I was skeptical at first, but a thousand miles later, I can honestly say I love this crazy seat. And I've seen my share of bike seats - I'm an avid cyclist and have been reviewing bikes and bike gear for more than three decades.
