11 Countries With The Most Billionaires In The World
In terms of US Dollar worth, these countries lead the way in producing and sustaining 10-digit fortunes.
11. Canada
With 39 billionaires, Canada ranks as the 11th country in the world with the greatest number of billionaires. The Canadian media magnate, David Kenneth Roy Thomson is the richest man in the country and the 25th richest man in the world, with wealth worth $23.9 billion. Thomson, a resident of Toronto, Canada, acts as the chairman of the Thomson Corporation and Thomson Reuters. Other notable Canadian billionaires include Galen Weston with $9.3 billion (head of George Weston Limited), Garrett Camp with $6.2 billion (chairperson and co-founder of Uber Technologies Inc.), James Irwing with $5.4 billion (head of Irwing conglomerate), Bernard Sherman with $4.9 billion (founder of Apotex, a Canadian pharma company), and Arthur Irwing with $4.7 billion (owner of Arthur Oil).
10. Italy
39 Italian billionaires call Italy their home. The richest among them is Maria Franca Fissolo, who inherited the Ferrero SpA, the third biggest chocolate and confectionery producing company in the world, after her husband's death in 2015. She owns wealth worth $22.1 billion and is the fourth richest woman in the planet. Leonardo del Vecchio, the owner of Luxottica, a leading eye-wear manufacturing company follows close behind Fissolo, being the second richest person in Italy.
9. France
Like Italy, the richest person in France is a lady, Liliane Henriette Charlotte Schuelle (married to a man with a Bettencourt surname), who is one of the main shareholders of L'Oréal. With wealth worth US $40.2 billion, she is also considered to be the richest woman in the world and the 11th richest person in the world. The chairman of LVMH, Bernard Jean Étienne Arnault ($34 billion), the chairman of the Dassault group, Serge Dassault ($14.7 billion), and the chairman of the retail company Kering, François Pinault ($11.5 billion), are some of the other well-known French billionaires. In total, France is home to 47 billionaires.
8. United Kingdom
The United Kingdom has a billionaire population of 53. With a wealth worth $14.5 billion, the Hinduja Family, a family originating from India, has the headquarters of their company, the Hinduja Group, based in London, United Kingdom. The company is a global conglomerate with diversified business arenas. A close competitor of the Hinduja Family is the brother duo of David Reuben and Simon Reuben, also originating from India, with a wealth worth $14.4 billion. The chairman of the Grosvenor Group, Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor, 6th Duke of Westminster, is the third richest person in the United Kingdom with a wealth worth $13 billion.
7. Brazil
Brazil, a country with enormous differences in the distribution of wealth, is home to 54 billionaires, becoming the 7th country in the world with the greatest number of billionaires. The 19th richest person in the world, Jorge Paulo Lemann, a Swiss-Brazilian investor, is the richest person in Brazil with wealth worth $25 billion. According to reports by the Forbes magazine, the number of billionaires in the country shrunk to 54 in 2015 from 65 in 2014. Widespread corruption scandals, government mismanagement of funds, and a drop in prices of commodities were held responsible for the fallen fortune of some Brazilian billionaires.
6. Hong Kong
Hong Kong, with 55 billionaires, is only ahead by one mark from Brazil in terms of the number of billionaires. With a wealth of $31.3 billion, the 87-year-old Sir Ka-shing Li, a business magnate, and investor, is the richest man in Hong Kong.

5. Russia
In Russia, a country with 88 billionaires, the rankings of its richest people keep fluctuating each year. In the country, the fortunes of its billionaires are never quite steady. Fluctuating currency, the high volatility of the Russian stock market, political disruptions, and variable economic sanctions are held responsible for such phenomenon. According to Forbes, the richest man in Russia in 2016 is Leonid Mikhelson, the gas and petrochemical magnate with a wealth worth $16.6 billion. From his 7th ranking in the country in 2015, within a year Mikhelson jumped the ladder to the first position, replacing Vladimir Potanin as the wealthiest man in Russia from last year's rankings.
4. Germany
Germany has 103 billionaires with Georg F. W. Schaeffler, chairman of the Schaeffler Group, being the richest person in the country with a wealth worth $ 26.9 billion as per the 2015 Forbes list of German billionaires.

Ma Huateng ($17.6 billion), Lei Jun ($13.2 billion), Wang Wenyin ($12.1 billion), are the 3rd, 4th and 5th most wealthy men in China.
1. United States
With 536 billionaires, the United States of America surpasses all other countries in terms of the number of billionaires. With Microsoft continuing to reap huge profits, the American billionaire Bill Gates continue to hold on to his position as the richest person in the US and also the richest person in the world. Bill Gates' fortune amounts to $75 billion. With a wealth of $67 billion, the founding chairman of the Inditex fashion group, Amancio Ortega Gaona, is the second richest man in the country.

The buttons below will show you a path through my research of illustrations in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. To begin this project, I located and collected about 5,700 images from 111 editions of the book from research and public libraries across the United States. I organized and looked closely at these illustrations as I sought responses to one main question: In what ways do Carroll's Wonderland and Tenniel's accompanying illustrations relate to artists' later interpretations of Wonderland? I approached the collection with ideas about prominent themes in the story: nature, reality, size, time, and the development of personal identity. The files here describe my processes throughout this project, then begin to describe the products of this work.

Seven Fallen Feathers: Racism, Deaths and Hard Truths in a Northern City
Date: Tuesday October 17, 2017 (note day change)
From 2000 to 2011, seven Indigenous high school students died in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The seven were hundreds of miles away from their families, forced to leave home and live in a foreign and unwelcoming city. Five were found dead in the rivers surrounding Lake Superior, below a sacred Indigenous site. Jordan Wabasse, a gentle boy and star hockey player, disappeared into the minus twenty degrees Celsius night. The body of celebrated artist Norval Morrisseau's grandson, Kyle, was pulled from a river, as was Curran Strang's. Robyn Harper died in her boarding-house hallway and Paul Panacheese inexplicably collapsed on his kitchen floor. Reggie Bushie's death finally prompted an inquest, seven years after the discovery of Jethro Anderson, the first boy whose body was found in the water.
Using a sweeping narrative focusing on the lives of the students, award-winning investigative journalist Tanya Talaga delves into the history of this small northern city that has come to manifest Canada's long struggle with human rights violations against Indigenous communities.
Tanya Talaga is a Toronto Star journalist and a 2017-2018 Atkinson Fellow in Public Policy. Her book Seven Fallen Feathers was selected as one of CBCs "Non-fiction books to watch for this Fall."
Novel Idea Books will be selling Seven Fallen Feathers at this event.

Often we look for inspiration, but ideation and exploration is a far more efficient way of coming up with ideas. Through Iteration and using unpredictable techniques, I will guide the students through a process that can feel chaotic, and a little scary. Why? To be able to find new imagery, and push your work from representation in to abstraction, loss of control and quantity is key. This process differs from the linear, quality-based processes that we are more familiar with, being able to "let go" of the final "perfect" piece can be hard. But following an idea generates creativity and leads to more innovative work.!

Small Paintings on Gold Leaf
In this workshop we will be exploring the subject of rain in the city through the beautiful combination of acrylic paint on gold leaf. It is a multi-step process that is both ancient and contemporary.
Gold leaf is gold that has been hammered into thin sheets by goldbeating. Since pure gold is an element, it can be compressed to nearly the atomic level without destroying its structure. This means it can literally be pounded in a layer so thin sunlight could pass through it.
Artists have been inspired by the light that gold can bring to their paintings. "Gold-ground" paintings was introduced in mosaics in Early Christian art, while Japanese screen paintings and kinpaku are some of the worlds most beautiful uses of gold leaf on a large scale. Gustav Klimt created some of the most famous paintings employing the use of gold leaf in the beginning of the 20th Century. But perhaps the most interesting and mysterious uses of gold leaf in painting was done by Rembrandt. He would apply gold leaf to the surface of a sheet of copper and paint on top of the entire surface only allowing glittering dots in areas that were thinly covered with paint to show through.
Our artist for this workshop, Fred Lisaius, paints works that represent his exploration of man's relationship to each other, the natural world, and the universe. He loves the misty Pacific Northwest, where he feels "The mystery of existence is all around you. It's a place where you can dream out loud". Fred Lisaius received a B.F.A. with honors from the Rhode Island School of Design (Providence, R.I.) in 1981 and also studied at the Pratt Institute in New York. He has been a Northwest artist for over 20 years and his work can be found in numerous corporate and private collections throughout the United States.

Ruling Scales Down Whistleblower Claims

Coca-Cola's Zico brand has named David&Goliath its new agency after a review.
The move comes after the brand began a campaign in May by Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners called "Crack Life Open," which featured actress Jessica Alba and spanned print, out-of-home and digital advertising. David&Goliath is expected to start the next iteration of that campaign in the second quarter.
"As coconut water becomes more of an established category, it's critical for Zico to move beyond awareness building and start telling a stronger brand story," said Lorna Peters, Zico's Chief Marketing Officer, in a statement. "We brought on David&Goliath to help us take Zico's Crack Life Open campaign to the next level with a sound strategy and disruptive, creative ideas. Beyond their capabilities, we love that D&G shares our passion to do good work and hunger to win."
The new agency comes as the coconut-water category continues to grow. Research firm Mintel in a report said that the category growth was a "tropical storm." Vita Coco last fall tapped Saatchi & Saatchi as its first agency, with a campaign expected to launch by spring this year.
Zico had $86.7 million in sales in 2013 according to Euromonitor. PepsiCo-owned O.N.E. coconut water had sales of $40.4 million in 2013, according to Euromonitor. Vita Coco's sales far surpassed those brands, with sales of $267.5 million in 2013, according to Euromonitor International.
It's not clear how much Zico will increase its ad spending, and up until now it's been a small spender, with about $1 million on U.S. measured media in 2013, the last full year of available data, according to Kantar Media.
Zico was launched in 2004, originally positioned as a sports beverage. In 2012, it became majority-owned by Coca-Cola Co., and nowadays, beyond the original flavor, Zico is also available in chocolate, pineapple, mango and passion fruit.
For David&Goliath, the win comes just after the agency made a place for itself on the Jack in the Box roster.

Complimentary for ACFCS members, non-members $35
Presented by David Malamed, Partner – Forensics & Dispute Resolution, Grant Thornton LLP (Canada)
Mechanisms to encourage whistleblowers to report has become an essential feature of most compliance and ethics programs. Likewise, in the public sector many government agencies have implemented regulations or financial rewards for tipsters.
Despite their value and widespread adoption, whistleblower programs aren't always well-understood or fully utilized by financial institutions and other organizations. Beyond identifying violations of law or company policy, whistleblower programs can also provide important feedback that highlights risks and identifies gaps in financial crime compliance programs.
In this session, an expert presenter explores what it takes to operate an effective whistleblower program, and perhaps most importantly, how to know if it's performing as intended. Attendees will learn:

London-based customers of high-end cycling clothing brand Rapha specifiying the Fast Fridays bike courier delivery option on items they order this week may be in for a surprise.
That's because Rapha Condor pro riders Dean Downing and Matt Cronshaw will be helping speed the North London-based brand's goods from its Belsize Park base to customers in some 44 postcodes across the capital, ranging from Hampstead to Clapham and Holland Park to Bow.
Rapha is asking its customers to help test the riders' skills through the London traffic by using the delivery option, which costs £20 and applies to orders taken between 2pm on Thursday and 2pm on Friday, although there is a limited number of slots available.
Elite Circuit Series champion Downing promises to enter into the spirit of things, responding to an enquiry on Twitter about whether he would be riding a fixie for the day with the response, "will be needing one yeah, gotta do it right hey."
That could mean a trip down to Condor's shop on Gray's Inn Road to get kitted out with a bike, and the shop is handily placed for Clerkenwell's Duke of York pub, a long-time magnet for London's bike courier community, should the pair feel the need to swap some war stories afterwards with those who brave the capital's streets on a daily basis.
Downing and Cronshaw's stint delivering parcels around the city comes the day after the London Courier Emergency Fund, which takes care of those injured while out working, holds a courier appreciation day.
The organisation will be distributing free food and coffee to working couriers at the junction of Bloomsbury Street and Shaftesbury Avenue, and free bike checks will also be available.
Born in Scotland, Simon moved to London aged seven and now lives in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds with his miniature schnauzer, Elodie. He fell in love with cycling one Saturday morning in 1994 while living in Italy when Milan-San Remo went past his front door. A daily cycle commuter in London back before riding to work started to boom, he's been news editor at road.cc since 2009. Handily for work, he speaks French and Italian. He doesn't get to ride his Colnago as often as he'd like, and freely admits he's much more adept at cooking than fettling with bikes.

Improve Your Browsing Experience
Whether you're new to Mac OS X or you're an old hand, some of the most frustrating things that you can encounter are problems connecting to the web.
However these problems might not be related to your actual connectivity. Instead, the problem could be with your chosen browser. While Safari is the default choice for Apple Mac users to browse the web (thanks to being included in the operating system) there are plenty of alternatives, such as Firefox and Google Chrome.
You should also be aware of browser settings preventing your successful connection to the World Wide Web. In order to avoid this from happening, you should perhaps consider resetting your browser or else taking advantage of optimizer software that should ensure that your connection is as fast as possible.
- slide 2 of 6
Tethering and Modem Options
If you don't have access to a standard wireless network, your Mac Internet connection options will be severely limited. The most obvious way around this is to try to establish a dial-up connection, but unless you have access to a DSL phone line this will be extremely limited.
Instead you should be looking at your mobile phone. iPhone owners are fortunate enough to have very easy tethering options that will work with any Mac, although don't think that it's all about the Apple phone. Motorola, HTC and other Android mobile phones can be used with wired or wireless tethering to get your Mac connected.
- slide 3 of 6
Other Connectivity Tips and Tricks
Most general connectivity issues can be attributed to problems with your network's wireless router (see below) but there are other things that you can do with a Mac beyond connecting to the Web that might be impacted by a poor connection. For instance, connecting to the iTunes Store is vital for many users, and problems here can be both hardware and software based.
Meanwhile, connecting to networked printer or sharing an Internet connection through your Mac should all be straightforward tasks, and while many problems that are encountered can be attributed to wireless networking there are other, computer-based configuration issues that you should be aware of.
- slide 4 of 6
Could Security Software Prevent Connectivity?
Most Mac owners don't take advantage of security software beyond the built-in firewall and parental control applications, but these and other security tools can all impact on your Mac's ability to connect to the Internet.
For instance, parental control software can be used to restrict use; if your computer has this type of utility installed and you are not the administrator, problems connecting to the web could be due to restrictions imposed on your account. Meanwhile, an incorrectly configured firewall can also lead to problems.
Ultimately it is safer to use security software than not, but like anything else this requires on correct installation and configuration. If these things are not done, then you should expect trouble…
- slide 5 of 6
Choosing and Configuring Your Router
Having the right wireless router installed is vital for the establishing of a stable Wi-Fi network. For the best results you should be choosing a device that is also equipped with Ethernet ports; in the event that your Mac's wireless Airport card fails you will be able to use Ethernet to continue accessing the Internet (and perhaps find a solution to your Airport card problems).
Wireless N is the current popular Wi-Fi standard, so most routers currently available will offer this as well some of the older standards such as B and G.
Make sure that your router is fully configurable. Once you have it installed and setup you might need to use it to make sure your Mac is connecting to the Internet in the right way, such as by setting up a proxy server.
- slide 6 of 6
Airport Cards and Router Issues
Whether you have an Apple Airport router or a standard wireless router, you will find that the vast majority of Mac OS X Internet connectivity issues can be attributed to these devices or the Airport network cards within a Mac.
You might use a MacBook, iMac, MacBook Pro, or a Mac mini; whichever you use, the Airport card can be the difference between success and failure. Replacing and reconnecting one of these devices is straightforward with the majority of cases, although be aware that there are hard ways and easy ways to troubleshoot Airport cards.

The bar itself is a picture of sophistication. Spherical hand-blown French light fixtures are mounted throughout both the bar and restaurant. General Manager Jamie Munoz describes the bar as a "terrific meeting place" that offers great food in addition to floor-to-ceiling views of the debauchery taking place on Bourbon Street.

Toronto, ON - August 2, 2017 - The Law Society of Upper Canada expresses grave concern about the treatment of Attorney General Luisa Ortega Dìaz in Venezuela.
Luisa Ortega Dìaz has been Venezuela's lead prosecutor since 2007. More recently, she has been viewed as one of the few critical voices within Venezuela's government, known for protecting and defending human rights.
It has come to the Law Society's attention that on June 27, 2017, the Supreme Court issued two rulings that undermine the powers of Attorney General Luisa Ortega Dìaz, who has been openly questioning the state's policies and practices. The first granted the Ombudsman Office-which has failed to act as a check on the executive-powers to participate in criminal investigations, and the second removed the deputy attorney general, who had been recently appointed by Luisa Ortega Dìaz, from office.
Luisa Ortega Dìaz responded by accusing the Supreme Court of violating the Constitution - citing repressed demonstrations, military court trials of civilians, searches without judicial warrants and a lack of evidence against those accused of committing crimes. She is quoted as stating that, "the right to participate and to choose has been undermined by the government".
It is the Law Society's understanding that on June 28, 2017, the Supreme Court issued precautionary measures, forbidding Luisa Ortega Dìaz from leaving the country and freezing her assets and bank accounts.
The Law Society of Upper Canada is deeply troubled by Luisa Ortega Dìaz's treatment, particularly in light of reports of increasing social and political unrest and threats to the rule of law in Venezuela. Human Rights Watch reports, "…the judiciary has ceased to function as an independent branch of government. Members of the Supreme Court have openly rejected the principle of separation of powers, and publicly pledged their commitment to advancing the government's political agenda."[1] Furthermore, in the wake of nationwide demonstrations, hundreds of civilians have been prosecuted in military courts in Venezuela, in violation of both Venezuelan and international law.[2] Human Rights Watch notes that there is no public record of these proceedings and accounts from lawyers and family members include "…many disturbing allegations of abuses and procedural defects in the conduct of these prosecutions…"[3]
In light of the foregoing, the Law Society urges the government of Venezuela to comply with Venezuela's obligations under international human rights laws, including the United Nations' Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers.
Article 16 of the Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers states:
Governments shall ensure that lawyers (a) are able to perform all of their professional functions without intimidation, hindrance, harassment or improper interference; (b) are able to travel and to consult with their clients freely both within their own country and abroad; and (c) shall not suffer, or be threatened with, prosecution or administrative, economics or other sanctions for any action taken in accordance with recognized professional duties, standards and ethics.
Article 17 states:
Where the security of lawyers is threatened as a result of discharging their functions, they shall be adequately safeguarded by the authorities.
Furthermore, Article 23 provides:
Lawyers like other citizens are entitled to freedom of expression, belief, association and assembly. In particular, they shall have the right to take part in public discussion of matters concerning the law, the administration of justice and the promotion and protection of human rights and to join or form local, national or international organizations and attend their meetings, without suffering professional restrictions by reason of their lawful action or their membership in a lawful organization.
The Law Society urges the Government of Venezuela to:
a. immediately and unconditionally lift all restrictions on Luisa Ortega Dìaz's freedom of movement;
b. guarantee in all circumstances the physical and psychological integrity of Luisa Ortega Dìaz;
c. ensure that all lawyers in Venezuela can carry out their professional duties and activities without fear of reprisals, physical violence or other human rights violations; and
d. ensure in all circumstances respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms in accordance with international human rights standards and international instruments.

The Secured Get together also must file a UCC financing statement and addendum with the UCC office within the state that the individual resides in, as a way to defend any property there.
Finally Veronika Kollbrand (University of British Columbia) defined how the NAME Special Curiosity Group for library students, the Pupil SIG, remodeled into the New Professionals SIG with a broader mandate and an already rising membership including each students, law librarians within the early stages of their profession and mentors.

In short, if individuals knew porn could also be legally excluded from public libraries as the law requires, they'd select for themselves to block Internet pornography and wouldn't be misled by anyone into preserving porn available despite the law. Prior to 1995, Nevada had no regulation prohibiting firearms in public buildings (apart from schools), hid or in any other case.
In response to questions received from members of the public, we are comfortable to direct you to sources of legal information or to your nearest native law library, to supply material for a faculty project, or refer you to state companies providing information on a selected matter. Many CALL members in all probability have already read that the affiliation's Canadian Regulation Library Assessment will turn into an open and free access journal which suggests shifting the digital variations from the member's only part of the CALL website to the public area that every one visitors can entry.

Dennis caught our eye creating Visio versions of the best-selling Volume 1 workbook network topology for his fellow students in the IEOC. Thanks again Dennis and enjoy your $50 Gift Certificate for Amazon.com.
The files that Dennis created for his fellow students can be found by clicking here.
Here is his story…
In 1991, I began my official work life as a Customer Service Representative. I repaired all manner of equipment for many well-known small to medium sized retail chains and large retail chains with names ending in "mart". In 1996 I took a position with a small contracting company working at NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). I worked as a Help desk Engineer for several years. I became Microsoft MSCE certified in 1998. In 1999 I took another position within my company still at NOAA for their Computer Incident Response Team. I had several satisfying years in that position learning all about incident detection, response and remediation.

I started my career in mid 2003 as a System Support Engineer after passing my 3 Year regular Diploma in Electronics (Microprocessor). During the last semester of my study in college I got this opportunity in a campus interview session. Could you believe I was just a 19 year old kid at that point with no idea how things worked in the real world ?…hehe

Sandra Wynands
Iconic Spaces looks at Samuel Beckett's mature theatrical work as a displaced theology of the icon. Sandra Wynands rejects conventional existentialist or nihilist interpretations of Beckett's work, arguing instead that beneath the text, in the depths of language and being, Beckett creates an absolutely irreducible, transcendent space. She traces a nondual model of perception and experience through a selection of Beckett's art—both critical and dramatic works—focusing in particular on four minimalist plays: Catastrophe, Not I, Quad, and Film.
Iconic Spaces makes an important contribution to scholars and students of literature, philosophy, theatre studies, and religion by giving them an exciting new way of reading and experiencing Beckett's work.
"This is an original, adventurous, and absorbing book. It deploys an acute understanding of contemporary philosophical writing in order to address the demands Beckett makes on his readers and spectators in nonreductive, affirmative fashion; and it also reinvigorates our understanding of Beckett's relationship to religion and theology by exploring in some detail, and, arguably for the first time, the extent of Beckett's engagement as a writer, not with positive religion, but with apophatic religious thought." —Leslie Hill, The University of Warwick
"In this remarkable and scrupulously argued book about Samuel Beckett, Sandra Wynands provides a compelling analysis of the postmodern experience of God's absence. She does so partly by showing how atheism, rigorously deconstructed, can converge with the insights and strategies of negative theology. Sandra Wynands is daringly insightful about Beckett, while also situating his work within a set of historical and cultural parameters that are described with impressive learning and breadth of vision." —Patrick Grant, University of Victoria
" _Iconic Spaces_ is an impressive piece of work. In exploring the relationship between 'negative theology' and Samuel Beckett's late work for the stage, Sandra Wynands makes an original and important contribution to Beckett studies and to modern drama and theatre studies more generally. Her discussion ranges widely across difficult and complex disciplinary, theoretical, philosophical, and critical materials with notable maturity and clarity, providing startlingly original insights on almost every page." —Ric Knowles, University of Guelph
240 pages
"An insightful and significant book within both Beckett studies and critical theory more generally . . . Wynands is at her most interesting in her concrete and detailed accounts of the stage images of Beckett's last plays and, what is more, her full knowledge both of Beckett scholarship and critical theory enables her to surpass them both so as to produce a reading of Beckett which raises the possibility of a non-religious parallel to negative theology—a 'literary apophaticism.' " — Literature and Theology
". . . Wynands leaves little doubt that Beckett, who once claimed to possess 'no religious feeling,' is perhaps for that very reason a profound 'thinker of religion and the spiritual life—a final paradox that should further inform and propel the endless investigation into the gift of Beckett's writing." —_Journal of Religion_

My time for writing has become very limited. I apologize to anyone who has emailed me for not responding quickly. I'm fatigued and not feeling well, and most hours of of my day are spoken for. I work full time and then play Mommy for 4-5 hours every night. At that point I'm usually ready for bed. The only time I have for myself is [ok, seriously? As I was typing this my daughter woke up, came out of her room, and climbed onto my lap. Apparently the only time I have for myself is never!].
So we'll have to get to the point. No time for dilly dally.
Bye bye Ray Peat. My high blood sugar, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, low energy and low libido are just not that into you anymore. Thanks for the progesterone and the anti-PUFA information. I'll take that with me. My body doesn't handle all these carbohydrates well, and it's about time I faced that. I'm dealing with constant bloating and fatigue whenever I eat any dense source of carbohydrate now. I can't say that eating a Peat-inspired plan caused this, but it didn't prevent it or fix it. I suspect Peat is right about a lot of things, but I don't think he addresses gut health adequately. No carrot salad is going to clear this up (I've tried it).
I've moved on to something else. I've found a functional medicine practitioner to work with (or rather, she found me). I've started working with Amelia Luker through Nourish Balance Thrive. She's an RN who studied the Kalish Method, which is apparently a respected functional medicine approach. I've already had my initial consultation with Amelia and my nutrition coaching session with Julie Kelly, and testing supplies are on the way. They routinely do the testing I've wanted to do for a while, but money got in the way, as well as my inexperience with interpreting results. I have the money now, and these guys seem to be good at the second part.
So far I've been very impressed with the Nourish Balance Thrive team. They're professional and tech savvy, they seem very personable and competent in their areas of expertise, and everyone's on time. When they say they'll call me at noon, they call me at noon.
Anyway, I'm back to a low-carb nutrient dense diet, avoiding everything that bothers me, which is most carbs. In the meantime I'll be getting tested with an Adrenal Stress Profile, an Organic Acids Urine Test (to test for nutrient deficiencies), and stool problems. Amelia and Julie will help me develop a diet and supplement protocol based on the results. So far I feel good low carbing again. Blood sugar swings have lessened considerably. I'm not constantly needing to eat. Appetite is dropping.
I'll report as things go on.
Unrelated but interesting. My daughter suddenly decided she doesn't want to drink milk anymore. So she's been off milk for a week. Suddenly the constipation she's had since she started drinking milk a year ago is gone. Amazing. She's eating cheese with no problem, which suggests to me that it's the lactose in the milk (as opposed to the casein) that's the problem for her. I ordered some Lactase drops in case she wants milk again. I'm reluctant to discontinue dairy completely because a) she loves cheese, and b) it's got lots of calcium, and I don't think I can get her to eat enough dark leafy greens to make up for it. So this is the plan for now. The Peat folks always like to say try different kinds of milk till you find one that works for you – Well, we've tried many different kinds and never found one that didn't constipate her. Conventional, organic, grass fed, lactose-free, goats milk. We don't have access to raw milk and I'm not sure I'd give that to her anyway. I guess it's weird that lactose-free milk didn't seem to make a difference. Anyway, we never found an acceptable milk and she never developed the appropriate enzymes to deal with drinking milk (if that is, indeed, the problem). Probably because there's a gut issue that's unaddressed.
I'm rambling now. Time to go be Mommy.

Annual Clark College Cooking & Wine Open House and Green Resource Fair
Showcases Local Green Resource Providers
The event will be held on Saturday, March 19
at Clark College at Columbia Tech Center
VANCOUVER, Wash. – Clark College Corporate & Continuing Education will host its second annual Cooking and Wine Open House and Green Resource Fair on Saturday, March 19 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The event will be held at Clark College at Columbia Tech Center and will feature cooking demonstrations, local wineries and green community-based organizations, Community Supported Agriculture, Whole Foods Market demonstrations, gardening tips and a film screening. Clark College is located at 18700 SE Mill Plain Blvd., Vancouver. Driving directions and parking maps are available at www.clark.edu/ctc.
The event, which is free and open to the public, is held annually to bring together resources that are in line with Clark College's Cooking and Wine School. The focus includes healthy eating, hands-on learning opportunities, sustainable practices and an emphasis on local choices. Event organizer and Program Manager Tracy Reilly Kelly designs cooking and wine classes for all levels of enthusiasts.
"People are looking for both beginning and highly complex cooking techniques. There is a strong interest in ethnic cooking and in learning to use healthy alternatives like whole grains and more vegetables," says Reilly Kelly. "At the Cooking School, we sought to expand our continuing education program to include innovative offerings, linking subjects like world culture and nutrition with an opportunity to learn and practice from accomplished professionals."
Last year's event drew more than 150 people to Clark College at Columbia Tech Center. The building was completed in 2009 and features a kitchen classroom for Corporate and Continuing Education's noncredit enrichment classes as well as providing catering space for conferences. College officials are pursuing Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) gold certification for the energy-efficient building.
By featuring local resource providers such as Columbia Springs Master Composters, WSU Extension, local agriculture producers such as wineries and community supported agriculture, the Open House & Green Resource Fair demonstrates Clark College's commitment to the region. "Cooking whole foods at home, shopping for 'locavore' products and gardening are all components of the lifestyle we treasure so much in the Pacific Northwest," states Reilly Kelly. "We are proud to be a part of that movement."

In what has become an all-out war, Alabama scored another victory over Auburn with the de-commitment of Dee Liner, a long time Auburn commitment, on Monday. National Signing Day and the first full year of the Saban-Malzahn recruiting matchup will simply add additional chapters to an intense narrative of a nasty recruiting war. Here's a review of the last few heated years of the recruiting contest between Auburn and Alabama.
Every November: College football fans witness the fiercest, most intense, most all-encompassing rivalry in all of sports–the Iron Bowl, featuring the Auburn University Tigers and the University of Alabama Crimson Tide. The winner of the last four Iron Bowls has gone on to win the National Championship (Alabama winning 3, Auburn 1), and the rivalry on and off the field is unparalleled in its intensity.
It is the kind of rivalry that never sleeps; no matter what "score" is settled on the field, the feud continues without interruption, particularly when it comes to recruiting.
The only other football "result" between Alabama and Auburn comes on National Signing Day, and the recruiting "wars" between the schools have been ferocious, not only for overall success but for and over specific recruits.
In the past three years, Alabama has finished first twice and fifth once while Auburn has finished fourth, seventh, and tenth. While Alabama has typically finished with higher rankings, the two teams have consistently recruited among the highest levels in the country. When Saban arrived in Tuscaloosa, he promptly stole defensive tackle Josh Chapman, who had long been committed to Auburn, shortly after his arrival in 2007. Chapman went on to become a standout tackle for the Tide and is now with the Indianapolis Colts.
In 2008, on the heels of a several years of Auburn having the upper hand in the rivalry, Alabama dominated the recruiting battle with a class that would set up Alabama's string of dominance. In perhaps the strongest class that the state of Alabama has ever produced, Auburn was shut out.
Following Auburn's horrendous 2008 season and the canning of Tuberville, Saban put together another great class and took linebacker Jonathan Atchison from Auburn toward the end of the recruiting season.
However, in Gene Chizik's first year at Auburn, the Tigers hit back. They won hard-fought battles for players like Shon Coleman and LaDarius Owens, took Craig Sanders from Alabama, and finished higher in the rankings. That edge did not last long. The next year, it got ugly.
While Auburn finished with a great class, the 2011 recruiting class for the Tigers will always be remembered for the ones that got away and the manner in which they got away. In January, during the week of the Army All-American Bowl, longtime Alabama commitment Brent Calloway de-committed and committed to Auburn during the game itself. But the story was not done.
His adoptive guardian was vocally outraged by Calloway's actions, and, in the days before signing day, Calloway didn't go to school and was rumored to be in Florida, taken there by his guardian. He emerged from the trip to sign with Alabama. Former publisher of AuburnSports.com, Jeffrey Lee, alleged there were additional misdeeds. He made accusations that someone involved in the Alabama program gave cash to Calloway's guardian and that the prospect was essentially forced to sign with Alabama. Nothing ever came of the allegations.
Cyrus Kouandjio's recruitment was much more public. It was a battle all the way up until signing day, and, on that day, Kouandjio announced that he would sign with Auburn. Kouandjio, whose brother was already playing for Alabama, never sent in the fax. Instead, he signed with Alabama several days later.
The following year, Saban scored another victory. T.J. Yeldon, a five-star and long-time Auburn commitment flipped his commitment to the Tide late in the process after repeated denials that he was considering such a switch. He issued the following statement:
"Over the last few weeks, I've really put a lot of time and thought into where I want to go to school and continue my football career. I am blessed to be in a situation where I have several great opportunities and I appreciate everyone involved who has helped me get to this point.
"I want to make an announcement so I can put this behind me and get to work on the things I need to do to prepare for college both athletically and academically. I am going to enroll at the University of Alabama in January.
"I have a lot of respect for Auburn, the coaches, and all of the people there, but at the end of the day I feel like the University of Alabama is the best situation and fit for me and my family. I am 100 percent confident with my final decision. I feel great about it and I'm excited to get started."
As Saban led Alabama toward another top finish in the recruiting rankings, Auburn barely hung on for a top ten finish. The Auburn staff appeared well on their way to their best class yet this year, but were eyeing Alabama commitment Reuben Foster, to get a much needed piece of the puzzle for their team, and to strike back at Alabama when they did. They got their wish, and Foster flipped.
He issued the following statement:
"Over the last few weeks, I've really put a lot of thought and time into where I wanted to (continue) my football career. I am blessed that I am in the situation where I have several great opportunities, and I appreciate everyone attending this meeting. I want to make an announcement so I can put this behind me and get on with all the work that I need to do for high school and get prepared for college, both academically and athletically.
"I am going to enroll at Auburn University.
"I have a lot of respect for Alabama and the coaches and all the other people that are there. But at the end of the day, I felt like Auburn University is the place for me and my family and had the best situation for me and my family. I am 100 percent confident with my final decision. I feel great about my decision, and I'm excited to get started."
If that statement looks familiar, it should. It's pretty much the exact statement issued by Yeldon the year earlier. To add insult to injury, Foster followed it up with getting an Auburn tattoo.
Auburn's "day in the sun" ended with the collapse of the 2012 team and the subsequent firing of Gene Chizik and the entire staff. Foster, among others, de-committed. He is now considering Auburn, Alabama, Georgia, LSU, and Washington. Liner de-committed Monday, and the common assumption is that he will sign with Alabama.
The two programs have been at war. Auburn has won the battle in some cases and now even has two former Alabama signees on their team as walk-ons (four star wide receiver Melvin Ray from the 2008 class and four star running back Corey Grant from the 2010 Class), however, Alabama, has been dominant. While new coach Gus Malzahn can't be judged based on his first class, how well he closes with Foster, defensive tackle Montravious Adams, offensive tackle and soft Florida State commitment Austin Golson, and safety Antonio Connor–all prospects the two programs are competing for–will tell us a lot about how this intense, year-round Iron Bowl competition ends.

Florida Marlins Fans Like to Brawl
Who knew Marlins fans had so much passion? In this video they get their brawl on — big time. From the description of the video it seems a few tossed peanuts were the reason it all got started. The Marlins are showing a bit of fight so far in this young season. They are 4-3.

A foul-mouthed convent nurse has been struck off the nursing register.
Marie Margaret Sloan was sacked from her position as care manager at the Sisters of Loreto's North Wales branch.
Sloan undertook a chaotic four-year spell where she is accused of a variety of offences.
A Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) hearing heard how the Facebook-loving grandmother allowed a frail nun to be given the wrong medication for at least a week.
She also allegedly trawled the internet for embarrassing stories about the Sisters - who she said were "bonkers" and a "pain in the arse" to staff.
The NMC panel, which believes Sloan sneaked hundreds of prescription tablets belonging to a dead nun into South Africa for her ill brother, said the registrant placed her patients at unwarranted risk time and time again.
Chairwoman Christine Castledine said people would be placed in danger if the registrant was allowed to stay on the nursing register.
"Her conduct took place over a significant period of time when she was dealing with vulnerable and elderly patients who depended upon her," she added.
"Despite Ms Sloan being in a position of trust, the care of the Sisters was not her first concern."
Registered nurse Sloan began working at the spiritual retreat in 2008 after bosses decided to create the new post of care manager.
Despite impressing in interview with her "extensive" nursing experience, her abilities were soon called into question.
In 2011 and 2012, inspections of the convent were carried out by external auditors, who said they were shocked at what they found.
Carer and cook Janet Starr, who has worked there for 16 years, told the NMC the place was supposed to be holy and serene, but she added: "One of the carers came into work drunk and I had to send her home for everyone's safety.
"I phoned Marie about it but her reply was, 'I can't do anything about it'."
Inspectors also found patient confidentiality was breached by "loud-mouthed" Ms Sloan, no staff training was provided and medication was not safely and securely stored.
A housekeeper said she often found tablets strewn over the floor and in unlocked draws.
A three-person panel said Sloan's behaviour fell well below the standards expected of a registered nurse.
They referred to an incident where Sloan contacted ex-pupils of the nuns over the internet in an attempt to find embarrassing stories about them.
As well as sharing the information she claimed to have found with staff, she compared one of her Sisters to an internet photograph of a topless grandmother who had had breast enhancement surgery.
It was also alleged Sloan made inappropriate comments, saying the nuns were "all bonkers" and "I ain't f** taking that woman again because it's a pain in the arse".
Mrs Starr added: "It was just terrible. She was supposed to be protecting these ladies, but she didn't treat them with any respect at all."
Despite being given plenty of opportunity to rebuff the claims, the registrant opted to stay away from a five-day hearing in Cardiff.
After deciding 13 allegations of misconduct proven and her fitness to practise was impaired, the NMC said that as well as protecting patients it had to ensure public confidence in the profession was maintained.
Sloan has 28 days to appeal against the decision.
