8 Foods You Should Never Eat Out of Season
The Winter of (Foodie) Discontent — Nowadays, you can eat pretty much
any fruit or vegetable you want, all year long. But should you? During
the summer and fall, farmer's markets are brimming with local, organic
food that was harvested within 24 hours and is usually at the peak of
its freshness, flavor, and nutritional content. In the winter and early
spring, however, you often have to rely on out-of-season produce that's
traveled an average of 1,300 miles to get from commercial farms to your
dinner table. The process is not only bad for the planet, but it also
means you wind up with bland produce that's mealy and low on nutrients.

While some out-of-season eating is inevitable, there are certain fruits
and vegetables you're better off buying frozen. Frozen produce, like
fresh produce, has usually traveled long distances to get to your plate,
but it at least was picked at the height of freshness and, studies have
found, sometimes has a higher nutrient content than fresh produce (just
watch for added salt, added to many frozen veggies). For an expert's
take on what should only be eaten in season, we turned to Chris DiMinno,
the chef at Portland, Oregon's modern gastropub Clyde Common. 08 Foods You Should Never Eat Out of Season after the break...

Top 10 Fire Festivals Around The World
01. Guy Fawkes Night (Bonfire Night) - England
Guy Fawkes Night (Bonfire Night) - England: "Remember, remember the
fifth of November - gunpowder, treason and plot" goes the nursery rhyme,
chanted in the run-up to Guy Fawkes Night. It goes back to 1605 when
Guy Fawkes, one of the members of the Gunpowder Plot, was arrested while
guarding explosives in the House of Lords, London. With the plot to
blow up the House of Lords - and kill King James I - foiled, Londoners
lit bonfires around the city in celebration. The bonfire tradition
continues to this day, and usually there's an effigy of Guy Fawkes
placed at the center of it. One of the biggest celebrations is in the
town of Lewes in Sussex where, in recent years, effigies of various
current figures, including those from the U.K. banking world, have been
burned. (Reuters). 09 more festivals after the break...
7 Self-Made Immigrant Millionaires
Immigrants make up 13% of the U.S. population. They come here in pursuit
of the American Dream, an opportunity for a better life in exchange for
hard work. For many, their unique skills and fresh perspectives lead
them to entrepreneurship.
That may explain why one small-business owner in six in the U.S. is an
immigrant, according to a recent report by the Fiscal Policy Institute's
Immigration Research Initiative. Professional and business services,
such as waste-disposal services and office administration and cleaning,
boast the largest number of immigrant business owners, followed by
retail, construction, educational and social services, and leisure and
hospitality industries. "Immigrants are such a varied group with people
from countries all around the world that have a wide range of skill sets
. . . and these [fields] have always been a natural fit" both locally
and nationally, says David Dyssegaard Kallick, director of FPI's
Immigration Research Initiative.
The seven entrepreneurs featured here come from diverse backgrounds.
They made their millions (and, in one case, billions) in industries
ranging from Internet technology to restaurant services. Here are their
stories.
01. Josie Natori
Photo — Link
Age: 64
Country of origin: Philippines
Occupation: Founder and CEO, the Natori Company
Her advice to immigrant entrepreneurs: "There is no better place in the
world for an immigrant to succeed than in the U.S. Follow your dream and
make it happen."
Moving from the Philippines to Westchester, N.Y., to attend
Manhattanville College in 1964 was a complete culture shock for Natori.
"The cold winters, the food and the sense of humor were just different. I
was very homesick," she told Kiplinger. But it never stopped her.
After earning an economics degree, she went to work for Bache &
Company on Wall Street, moving to Merrill Lynch in 1971. But climbing
the corporate ladder wasn't enough. "While I loved the [corporate]
culture, I also had a very strong desire to build something myself," she
says.
In 1974, Natori became a U.S. citizen. And after giving birth to a son
in 1976, she and her husband Ken brainstormed a variety of ideas for
starting her own business -- from opening a car wash to running a
McDonald's franchise. It was by chance in 1977, however, that she would
become a high-end women’s sleepwear designer after showing a nightgown
(made from what was originally a hand-embroidered blouse) to a buyer at
Bloomingdale's.
In the early days, Natori ran her company solo. "It's easy to take for
granted the amount of work that goes into [making] the clothes you see
in stores," she says. "There are so many elements -- from the design
concept to production -- that all need to work in order to make
something happen." Today, she has nearly 400 employees. Her husband is
chairman, and her son, Kenneth, is vice-president of finance and
e-commerce. Her business has expanded to include fragrances, eyewear and
home décor. In 2011, Natori teamed up with mass retailer Target for a
budget-friendly line of lingerie and loungewear. That same year, her
company generated $150 million in retail sales.
"Some people may see their immigrant status as an obstacle," she says.
"I have always viewed it as one of my biggest assets. Natori is unique
in the design world, because of its East-meets-West aesthetic. All of
that is due to my background and heritage." 06 more after the break...

The Most Educated Countries in the World
College graduation rates continued to improve around the world during
the recession, according to a recent international economic study. In
more developed countries, the percentage of adults with the equivalent
of a college degree rose to more than 30% in 2010. In the United States,
it was more than 40%, which is among the highest percentages in the
world. However, improvements in higher education are harder to achieve
in these countries. More developed economies have had the most educated
populations for some time. While these countries have steadily increased
education rates, the increases have been modest compared to developing
economies. At just above 1%, the U.S. has had one of the smallest annual
growth rates for higher education since 1997. In Poland, an emerging
market, the annualized rate was 7.2% from 1997 to 2010.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (OECD)
Education at a Glance 2012 report calculated the proportion of residents
with a college or college equivalent degree in the group’s 34 member
nations and other major economies. Based on the report, 24/7 Wall St.
identified the 10 countries with the highest proportion of adults with a
college degree.
The majority of countries that spend the most on education have the most
educated populations. As in previous years, the best educated countries
tend to spend the most on tertiary education as a percentage of gross
domestic product. The United States and Canada, among the most educated
countries, spend the first and third most respectively.

Among the 10 countries with the
highest proportion of educated adults, unemployment rates for those with
a college equivalent ranged from 2.8% in Australia to 5.4% in the
Canada. In each country, the rate remained lower than that country’s
national average. The OECD provided information on the percentage
of residents aged 25 to 64 with a tertiary education for each of its 34
member countries, as well as for eight other nations. 2010 statistics
on educational attainment, graduation rates, GDP per capita and
unemployment rates also were provided by the OECD. The latest figures
covering country-level education expenditure are from 2009. These are
the 10 most educated countries in the world after the break...
