Jessica Biel's Perspective
The former cast in the family-drama series 7th Heaven, who played the role as Mary Camden, Jessica Biel, admits that she was worried about how hard it would be to get pregnant after being on contraceptives for a long time.
The 33 year old Jessica Biel got married to Justin Timberlake in November 2012.
Biel said that she had no idea what was going on inside her body before she got pregnant, since it took her a little while to conceive after she stopped taking the pill.
She remarked in an interview, "(I thought) Now what happens? I've been on the pill for so long; how difficult will it be to get pregnant? "Suddenly, I became fully aware that I really didn't know what's going on inside my own body. It was shocking."
Because of this experience, the actress has now set in motion a new online video series, to reach out to women through social media, and discuss issues on puberty and contraception. Saying she hopes to 'share girl stories, fears, and insecurities' including taboo subjects such as puberty and …show more content…
contraception.
Jessica Biel will be working on it along with activist Saundra Pelletier - who serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Evofem Inc., she is also the founder of the non-profit healthcare organization WomanCare Global.
The A-Team actress Jessica Biel said in a statement that, "You have to have the courageous character to stand up for what you believe in." Jessica Biel also said, "We want girls to know the facts, information, and skills of what their (body is going through) so they don't feel afraid or embarrassed or gross. The tone will provide useful information, but also goofy, clever, and witty."
The activist Saundra Pelletier added, "More than half of our nation's pregnancy were not planned, and only 22 states in America require public schools to teach sex education. Jessica and I, understand it clearly that we can help change this." "We need to get young people to this information in a variety of ways. There is power and dignity in comprehending your
body."

The news comes straight from René Redzepi, the influential chef behind the temple of Nordic cuisine.
In a lengthy feature published by the New York Times, Redzepi details his plans for the restaurant's future. He wants to reopen the restaurant in 2017 as an urban farm in a new location which is currently rundown patch of land in the city's Christiania neighborhood.
"It makes sense to have your own farm, as a restaurant of this caliber." He says to the Times.
Redzepi drew inspiration for the new Noma from other revered farm-to-table eateries like The Blue Hill at Stone Barns in upstate New York.
Redzepi is also planning a radical rethink of the restaurant's menu, letting the seasons dictate what will come out of his kitchen. According to the Times,
In the fall, then, Noma's menu will focus only on wild game (from goose to moose) and foraged autumnal ingredients like mushrooms and forest berries. In the winter, when "the waters are ice-cold and some of the fish have bellies full of roe," as he put it, Noma will mutate into a seafood restaurant. Spring and summer? "The world turns green," he said. "And so will the menu." In an expectation-thwarting move, during those months Noma will become a fully vegetarian restaurant, with much of the bounty ostensibly coming from the farm he wants to conjure up.
The current iteration of Noma became famous for its focus on foraged ingredients. Many of the items found in the menu were often picked right from the city's neighboring forests and coastline.
No exact date for the restaurant's reopening was mentioned.
