    The Federation of European Chemical Societies initiated, as a Millennium Project, the celebration of Distinguished European Chemists spanning a period of over two hundred years. Member societies and individuals were invited to submit their nominations of distinguished European chemists from the end of the 18th century until the present day.

A researcher may reveal many profound things. As individuals, however, it is rare that any one researcher provides all the keys we need for health. It is more likely we will discover some aspect of the researcher's work that truly works for us rather than everything the researcher offers. For this reason, it is important we each use our own truth detector to decide what we want to accept and what we want to reject no matter how authoritative the researcher may seem. We introduce you now to some of these rare individuals, independent researchers, who have devoted time and talents to bring us keys to creating health.

    PROBLEM GAMBLING: A CANADIAN PERSPECTIVE WEBSITE (Last updated: November 25, 2002) CONTENTS: A. Introduction B. Important Cautionary Notes C. Canadian Links D. International Links A. Introduction Nobody knows for certain how much money Canadians spend on games of chance each year, but to be sure, socially sanctioned/legal forms of gambling in Canada have been estimated to be worth some $20 - $27 BILLION annually. Moreover, these figures will likely increase quite substantially in the very near future, given the trend towards increased availability of gambling venues throughout many parts of the country (such as the notorious VLT's: Video Lottery Terminals). Despite some rather impressive research and programmatic undertakings in this area of study to date, there is still much to be learned about the negative consequences associated with gambling behaviour. The need for new knowledge, and an efficient and appropriate translation of same into programs and services which will assist problem gamblers and their significant others has never been greater! The role of the Internet in this regard is really quite unique. Through the Net, new knowledge can be conveyed as a means of increasing societal consciousness as well as a mechanism for improved communication amongst researchers and programmers in the field. This is also an excellent way to assist and facilitate self-help groups with their pursuits. In this regard, the purpose of the

    Submission of the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada to the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada May 5, 2005
    Ottawa, Ontario Jennifer Stoddart
    Privacy Commissioner of Canada
    Introduction
    Protecting the ability of individuals to communicate freely is central to the concept of privacy, "a broad, all-encompassing concept that envelops a whole host of human concerns about various forms of intrusive behavior, including wiretapping, surreptitious physical surveillance, and mail interception." Sharing intimate thoughts, expressing unpopular opinions, arguing about controversial issues, freely discussing one's finances or health status, and even engaging in gossip are all activities that are fundamental to our private lives. Individuals expect that fragments of their conversations may be overheard by others; they do not expect that their telephone calls will be monitored, their conversations taped or their computers searched by agents of the state. As Justice LaForest argued in R. v. Wise
