Marion Raymond-Orchard-Davis, 92
SCARBOROUGH -- Marion Raymond-Orchard-Davis, 92, passed away peacefully on Dec. 23, 2012, at the Gosnell Memorial Hospice in Scarborough.
She was born on Jan. 27, 1920, in Portland, to Charles Raymond and Alfa Glidden Raymond of Mars Hill. Marion graduated from South Portland High School in 1938. She graduated as a hair beautician after high school. She cut hair while Vernon Orchard served in the Air Force during WWII.
She was married to the love of her life Vernon A. Orchard, until he passed away in 1987, after 45 years. They lived and worked in Malden and Wakefield, Mass., for many years. In 1964 they moved to Old Orchard Beach to take over her retiring parents game concessions on the Old Orchard Beach Duffy Pier for over 20 years. Marion and Vernon loved working for themselves at the game concessions.
In 1965 Marion and Vernon Orchard had four winters working at Vernon and Marion's Pizza and Sandwich Shop on Washington Avenue, Old Orchard Beach. Also during the 1960s and 1970s, she and Vernon did the Fryeburg, Cumberland, North New Portland, Tunbridge, Vt., and Deerfield, N.H., fairs in the fall.
Marion was also employed at Whitmore Feeds, Walton, Mass., back in the early 1960s for many years.
During retirement years Marion and Vernon loved to travel to Florida and Bermuda on bus tours. When Vernon passed away, after several years she married Norman F. Norman Davis of Old Orchard Beach, a friend and HAM operator of Vernon's. Until Norman's death in 2004, at the age of 94, Marion and Norman enjoyed watching Red Sox games together. They also went on bus tours to Florida, Atlantic City and other short trips.
Marion had a good and active life. She was active in the Woman's Auxiliary American Legion # 57 of Old Orchard Beach.
Marion was lucky and loved playing BINGO at the Old Orchard Beach American Legion

Marion met Vernon when she was 18 years old. Vernon working in the summer at the Old Orchard Beach train station, Marion loved to dance with Vernon to the 'Big Band Era' out on the Old Orchard Beach Duffy Pier in the early 1940s, dressing up in long ball gowns. Even when she married Norman Davis, they both loved to dance.
She is survived by her daughter, Sylvia G. Orchard of Old Orchard Beach; her two sisters, Pauline (Raymond) Cockerille of Old Orchard Beach and Phyllis (Raymond) Koepp of Bowie, Md.; two nieces, Donna (Cockerille) Gonneville of Dayton, Detti (Koepp) Johnson of Bryant Pond, nephew Dean Koepp of Bowie, Md.; grandnieces, Tammy (Gonneville) Pisani of Dayton, Kelly (Gonneville) Stone, Dayton, Loti (Gonneville) Boilard of Abington, Mass., grandnephews, Thomas Gonneville, Steve Gonneville of Dayton; and many other relatives and dear friends.

Why does she get so mad at me?
Me and my girlfriend were talking earlier and she got mad at me and signed off and she won't answer my texts. We were talking about different political ideas like gay marriage and interacial marriage. She got mad at me and she's not talking to me now. Whenever she gets mad at me I feel like the world is darker. I feel a sharp pain in my heart when she's mad at me. She doesn't realize it but when she's mad at me it hurts me more than she knows. Do all girls get mad at little things?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
i wouldn't say that all do but a lot do. I get mad at my boyfriend over stupid things sometimes. I used to a lot but I've worked on it. I know what you mean though, when my boyfriend and I have a disagreement or something, I feel horrible and I constantly think about it until I know that everythings ok. I think that what makes me get upset sometimes is because he doesn't fix the reason I get upset. if he would become aware of why I got upset, and fix it, then I know I would get mad less. because when guys ignore it, its kind of like they don't care enough to fix it. anyways, just tell her how much it hurts you when she gets mad and she may try not to get mad as much, and make sure you try to fix things when she's mad.
What Girls Said 3
those are not little things. those are things that have to do with basic human rights and prejudice. maybe you are taking the situation too lightly and not trying to understand where she is coming from and why this affects her so much..she must be passionate about them for a reason

Arizona State Sun Devils
ASU AD: Carrick Felix is a draftable player
Going into this season, Arizona State senior Carrick Felix was not really looked at as an NBA prospect.
Coming off a season in which he averaged 10.5 points and 4 rebounds per game while shooting .421 from the field, the 6-foot-6 swingman was a solid college player but nothing more.
All that's changed.
Felix is averaging 15.1 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, while shooting .535 from the floor and blocking at least one bush league UCLA layup attempt for the surprising Sun Devils, and after winning his third Pac-12 Player of the Week Award, seems like he might have the NBA in his future.
Arizona State Athletic Director Steve Patterson, who used to be a general manager in the NBA, thinks Felix will get a shot.
"The great thing about Carrick is he's got his head screwed on, he works hard every day, he works hard every play, day in and day out in practice," he told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf. "He never takes a play off in a game, plays good defense and has shown the capacity for his game to grow considerably."
Patterson said if Felix can stay on his current trajectory there will be a place for him in the NBA, and it's tough to argue. While Felix may not be a first-round selection, players with his size, athletic ability and motor tend to get a look.
Of course, teams never would have been able to see that had Felix not stayed for his senior year.
"I think, unfortunately, everybody focuses on the LeBron Jameses or the Kobe Bryants that are spectacular players that probably don't need four years in college," Patterson said. "But every year, when I was a general manager, you'd sit there and you'd look at the list, and there'd be 200 names on it of guys that are coming out of college.
"Maybe two or three are really ready to go in the pros, and the rest of those guys have given up their college education, given up their chance to grow as players and really eventually put themselves in a position where they could have a career in the NBA, or if not have a far better career outside of basketball doing something else."

MENA Quarterly Economic Brief
The July 2014 issue of the MENA quarterly brief assesses the macroeconomic performance of seven ofthe MENA countries: Egypt, Tunisia, Iran, Lebanon, Jordan, Yemen and Libya. All of these countries experienced rapid economic growth during 2000-10, and suffered a sharp economic slowdown in the aftermath of 2011. The brief focuses on the challenges facing these countries with a closer look at the actual growth performance in comparison with their forecasts and highlights the limitations of forecasting in the wake of the 2011 uprisings; and at the consequences of the growth slowdown, including unemployment, where perceptions may diverge from reality. The story is told in fourteen charts.
January 2014: Growth slowdown heightens the need for reforms
Ongoing regional tensions, together with a challenging external environment, have hit the economies of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region hard. Economic growth is slowing, fiscal buffers are depleting, unemployment is rising, and inflation is mounting in seven transition countries in the region.
July 2013: Growth slowdown extends into 2013
While the focus has been on the recent change in government in Egypt, five countries in the Middle East and North Africa Region, including Egypt, Tunisia, Lebanon, Jordan and Iran are facing a growth slowdown, rising fiscal deficits and debt, and high unemployment and inflation.

Now, you all are going to think I've been holding out on you, but my interview with Ottilie Mulzet, the translator of Seiobo There Below, by Laszlo Krasznahorkai, is up at The Paris Review Daily. How is it possible that I'm writing about a book I have not yet blogged about? Well, my 25 Points review of the book is forthcoming on HTML Giant, sometime in the next few weeks. In the meantime, I'm thrilled to have spoken with Ms. Mulzet. And I am once again dreaming of translating Russian cookbooks. Many thanks to The Paris Review for being an invaluable source of writer-interviews, all searchable online.

[Warning: The following article contains spoilers about Sunday's episode of The Mentalist. Read at your own risk!]
So much for a tattoo being the surefire way to determine who Red John is.
On Sunday's episode of The Mentalist, Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) gathers the five remaining Red John suspects — Bret Stiles (Malcolm McDowell), Ray Haffner (Reed Diamond), Thomas McAllister (Jack Plotnick), Reede Smith (Drew Powell) and Gale Bertram (Michael Gaston) — at his house to determine once and for all which one is his nemesis. As he's rounding the quintet up, we learn a couple of important things: first, that the FBI has reopened their investigation into Bret Stiles, but Stiles isn't worried about being found because he's dying getting ready to "elevate himself to another plane," in the parlance of Visualize.
I'm going to get right to the point: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is not good.
Five episodes in, and I'm ready to quit -- and I don't quit anything. I'm still watching Grey's Anatomy, Project Runway and yes, even the boys vs. girls season of America's Next Top Model, but S.H.I.E.L.D. is pushing my limits.
Last week's episode was a small step in the right direction, finally introducing the show's Big Bad, Centipede. But I'm finding it hard to muster up anything beyond apathy towards this evil. Why should I care whether or not Coulson's team can save the world from Centipede when they haven't given me a single reason to care about the people doing the saving? Here are seven ways that S.H.I.E.L.D. went wrong:
It's the biggest intelligence breach in U.S. history-the leaking of more than half-a-million classified documents on the Wikileaks website in the spring of 2010. Behind it all, stand two very different men: Julian Assange, the Internet activist and hacker who published the documents, and an Army intelligence analyst named Bradley E. Manning, who's currently charged with handing them over. Private Manning allegedly leaked the secret cables-along with a controversial video-in the hope of inciting "worldwide discussion, debates and reforms." Assange's stated mission has been to force the U.S. and other governments into maximum transparency through his whistle-blowing website. Through in-depth interviews with Manning's father, Assange, and others close to the case, veteran FRONTLINE correspondent Martin Smith tells the full story behind the leaks. He also reports on the U.S. government's struggle to protect national security information in a post 9/11 world. watch
WikiLeaks editor Julian Assange addresses the difficulty of protecting whistleblowers in the digital age. Is it really possible to stay anonymous on the internet?
In this video, http://www.WatchMojo.com takes a look at the life and career of Julian Assange, the man behind the whistleblowing organization, WikiLeaks.
Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange yesterday was at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, seeking political asylum.
With characters like Sherlock Holmes, Julian Assange and Stephen Hawking, Benedict Cumberbatch has accumulated a filmography littered with high IQs. Characters of analytical prowess and fast-deducting intellect have made Cumberbatch something like the ultimate quicksilver mind of the digital age. No actor has made computation sexier.

Im looking at getting the sl or the legacy, how much wider is the legacy than the sl, im 5'8'' 165 to 170, with a size 10,
Dr. J
Member since
You really can't go wrong with either. I have the SL wear an 8.5 so I don't have to worry about toe hang. Not sure on the exact specs of the width. try contacting a gear head directly, they've got all the answers!
Joe G
Member since
With a size 10 there's no reason to get the Legacy, the regular SL will be fine. I wear a 10.5 on my SL and I've got tons of room to spare.

Samsung tells suppliers in China that they have two years to stop illegal work practices
Samsung did face-to-face checks on employees under 18 and found no children working at the factories. What the Korean based manufacturer found was employees who worked overtime beyond legal limits and workers who were fined for being absent or tardy. The tech titan has been auditing suppliers in China over the last four weeks and is continuing to audit another 144 of its suppliers in the country. Samsung says its suppliers must meet local laws as well as the Samsung Supplier Code of Conduct.
under the age of 16 were working alongside its investigators at a HEG Electronics (Huizhou) factory. Samsung uses parts made at the plant for its mobile handsets among other products. China Labor Watch claims that 50 to 100 workers at the factory were children with the youngest being 14, getting paid just 70% of adult wages. According to China Labor Watch, "...these child workers were often required to carry-out dangerous tasks that resulted in injury." Contract manufacturer Foxconn, used by Apple to assemble its mobile devices, admitted last month that it hired a number of children through a "school program." Foxconn workers for years have complained about conditions at the factories with some allegedly committing suicide.
In September, Samsung promised to investigate the practice of using child labor although hiring children seems to be a seasonal issue seen when school is out in the summer from early July to late August. Samsung said that the hiring practices of its suppliers must be changed and any supplier found to employ children in its labor force will lose Samsung's business. Additionally, Samsung said that reducing overtime hours is a top goal for the company, with overtime beyond legal limits coming to an end by 2014. Longer-term measures related to employees hours will be developed at the end of this year.
Samsung says it continues its "zero-tolerance" policy on child labor and asks its suppliers to purchase electronic devices that can help its suppliers detect phony IDs. Additionally, Samsung wants suppliers to cap temporary workers at 30% of full time workers. By the end of the year, Samsung wants its suppliers to provide safety training and equipment, train managers on sexual harassment and physical and verbal abuse and eliminate the fines/punishment system among other things.

why do you think the source is posted in the article? feel free to check this out: chinalaborwatch.org/pro/proshow-175.html
and when its apple you can accept it even when there is no source :/

"why do you think the source is posted in the article?"
Yes, I already saw that. These photos are taken by "China Labor Watch" as a proof but there is one problem because these photos doesn't provide any information that these kids are from Samsung supplier's factory. Anyway I don't say that "China Labor Watch" tell lies! I just say that these photos doesn't provide any proves that these kids are from Samsung supplier's factory because in these photos I can see just a few random kids sitting in the street.
"and when its apple you can accept it even when there is no source :/"
Any proof for such proposition?
You see, I don't care it is Samsung, Apple, HTC or Nokia because in this case my point was that internet is full of various kind of propaganda and you always have to analyze all incoming information and decide it is truth or just untrusted information. In this case I tend to believe in "China Labor Watch" words but again these photos doesn't say nothing!

As much power the Chinese government has, it really should have its own fully-functional OSHA by now, if only to stop bad press about itself and its citizens. Yes, the OEMs should require the factories to hold a certain standard, but the factories should be willing to do that on their own, not be forced by the OEMs and/or government.

At least they are taking measures to stop these and have given them a deadline, they themselves did these checks. Human rights groups had to check on Foxconn and Apple wasn't even a bit concerned.

Difference is Samsung is trying to do something about it, whereas apple couldn't give two sh*ts about labor conditions in their plants.
6. medicci37 (Posts: 721; Member since: 19 Nov 2011)
Apple, Samsung, & many other companies, disregard human rights in favor of higher profits. U.S. was doing much better (financially & morally) before all these bs. one way trade agreements with China. Just makes it easier for wealthy multinationals 2 exploit people... & Samsungs pledge 2 stop breaking the law in 2 years ? Since when is complying with the law optional ? This is what happens when government allows big business to police themselves.

Samsung made a lot of products from china. Phone is just one item. Apple fans are too emotional to be logical.
You have the freedom to choose apple products but can you read the words for the meaning without thinking about apple vs android.

I've got a solution to all of this: Let's revitalize the jobs here in the US and manufacture these parts here and not have to import them. I'm sure there are plenty of Americans that would love to have these jobs at reasonable incomes. Companies can still make profits, and help our country's economy in the process. I know this is oversimplifying the issue, but that is the basis of a great way to solve this problem for ALL this junk.
18. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
And since Apple is an American company...
24. androiddownsouth (Posts: 598; Member since: 02 May 2012)
And just what does Apple being an American company have to do with my post? Look at my avatar and username. I'm not exactly an Apple promoter or apologist.
All of these companies use Chinese labor to some degree, so ALL are guilty of at the least not paying the attention they should to their suppliers. Apple is one of the main violators sure, but they ALL do it to some degree.
There is plenty of documented evidence of China having a terrible human rights record when it comes to labor. I'm not saying things are perfect in the US, but I can't remember the last time I saw a story on child labor here.
Child labor is an awful thing, no matter who or where. I know plenty of adults here in the states that would love to have any decent job, but very little is still made in the USA these days.
26. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
"And just what does Apple being an American company have to do with my post?"
In your comment #13 you say:
"Let's revitalize the jobs here in the US and manufacture these parts here..."
"I'm sure there are plenty of Americans that would love to have these jobs at reasonable incomes."
And that's why I have mentioned Apple because Apple is an American company and that's why it should be even more matter for Apple and America's people! But seems that Apple don't care about that...
Apple parts are manufactured in Asia.
Also I agree with what you have said in your comment #24.
27. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
There is two main problems:
1. Companies are greedy.
2. Americans won't work for such low pay as Asians would work.
29. androiddownsouth (Posts: 598; Member since: 02 May 2012)
Both of those are things that I don't think anyone can argue against lol. That said, I am confident that companies can still manufacture goods in the US and make a profit. Sure the $$$ won't be as much, but the goodwill they would generate here could go a long way to attracting more customers. It might could even come very close to evening out. I know I would be more likely to buy a product if I felt it was quality AND manufactured right here at home.
23. Twisted247 (Posts: 261; Member since: 12 Oct 2012)
This is pretty sad that Samsung a Korean company is taking action before Apple an American company. For Apple being one of the giants of the mobile world and it being an American based company saddens me that they haven't taken the same steps already.
This has nothing to do with the apple/Android war, this is simply about being an American and although I do not purchase their products I would still hope they would conduct themselves in a manner which stands good for the country as a whole.
Good job to Samsung for doing something about it, most companies would sweep it under the rug and try and blackball the company or outfit who brought the issue to light.

36. InspectorGadget80 (Posts: 6741; Member since: 26 Mar 2011)
That's a smart move by Samsung. China is so corrupt using children to make all products MADE IN CHINA. Samsung products should be made in KOREA
37. Dragonov (Posts: 5; Member since: 11 Oct 2012)
Why must apple or android be brought up all the time in these kinds of articles? The first comment by phonearenauser was about him not believing the credibility of the photo with the children in it. Even if it says its of children working in a sumsung factory, the article itself says that Sammy hasn't found any children working in the factory's yet. If you feel the need to defend the company you like (apple) (android) then please don't bring it up, like kalandershihab did in his response post, or antagonise the flame war even more. Both a android and apple users need to stop this, we're acting like apple and Sammy in the patent wars. And as consumers we SHOULD be much more mature about it.

If its Samsung : there will be a tons of excuss .

42. flipjzn (Posts: 187; Member since: 22 Jun 2012)
China is so overly populated, bcoz of this a lot of people don't have jobs they are so desperate to work even for less money. That's why piracy, child labor and just about anything for a dime.
Companies in the US and Europe closed their production/ manufacturing warehouses to move it to china with locals losing jobs.
I wish China's government wud play fair and be more strict when it comes to labor pays and standards.

Thanks in advance.

<<who here is a fan?>>
I really like Raindrops Keep fallin' on my head, and That's What's Friends are for.
I find Burt Bacharach and Hal David's music to be some of the best of the 1960's & 70's.
I would be very interested in hearing what others here feel about their music....
Some of the artists that recorded their music include:
Dionne Warwick, The Drifters, Chuck Jackson, The Shirelles, Gene Pitney, Jerry Butler, Dusty Springfield, Jackie DeShannon, Tom Jones, The Carpenters, The 5th Dimension, The Stylistics, Christopher Cross and others.
who here is a fan?
<<who here is a fan?>>
I really like Raindrops Keep fallin' on my head, and That's What's Friends are for.
James DeFrances
I'm a big fan.
In memory of my Jesse and my Eric.
Me Too!!
My favorites are the songs of theirs recorded by Dionne Warwick.
You can't have everything... where would you put it?
I bought the 3 disc set last year.....it is AWESOME!
There are also two Bacharach-David entries in the Sinatra songbook: "Wives and Lovers" (1964) and "Close To You" (1970).
I think Bacharach also did extremely well in his arranging & conducting work for Marlene Dietrich, whom he accompanied on several albums and tours for more than a decade.
Their music is great! I've always enjoyed it, particularly their work with Dionne Warwick. They were a wonderful team!
I'm a great fan of Burt Bacharach for a very long time. I love to hear Dionne Warwick sing his compositions. What made me very happy was to find on the boxed set "The Look of Love - The Burt Bacharach Collection", by Rhino, the song "Nikki" with The Burt Bacharach Orchestra and Chorus (a single released by Liberty Records in 1966). What I didn't knew is that the song Nikki was composed for his daughter Nikki, who was born three months prematurely and both she and her mom Angie, barely survived the delivery. Burt told more later "But they made it, and now that greatfulness is so strong that I will never take what I've got for granted." Nikki was also the theme to "The ABC Movie Of The Week" which began a six year run in 1969.
Burt is fantastic although his music is very tough to sing. He pushes a singer to the top and bottom of the register and tests the flexibility of the voice with tricky intervals. And when he performs his own songs it seems effortless.
Just for fun, try to sing, Do You Know the Way to San Jose. and no cheating!
didn't work out too well. My neighbors called the police. They thought I was torturing small animals.
My heart.
Dear Friend Nancy.
"Anyone Who Had a Heart" and " Wishin' and Hopin' " are also very difficult to sing.
Well...anything it's hard for me to sing because my voice is terrible.
I loved singing Wishin' and Hopin'. It's a terrific song. My version of it is in a Bacharach collection the Varese Sarabande label.
Hmmmmmm..........I just did pretty good with San Jose. I surprised myself.
In memory of my Jesse and my Eric.
There was an album he made probably '66 or '67. I can't for the life of me remember which one it was.
We displayed it at the checkout stand, at Wallich's. It was right next to my reception booth. I fell in love with his picture.
One morning, early, I came to work and my manager asked me to come to his office. He asked me if I would like to meet Burt Bacharach, I said, "Of course!" Thinking he was kinda silly early in the morning.
I walk out of his office and down by my booth, near the front of the store, stands Burt. I was introduced to him and don't think I pulled my jaw off the floor for a couple of hours. I had my picture taken with him, to advertise "The Album," I spoke of, in Cashbox.
I looked horrible and he looked fantastic, of course!
P.S. You're right Nancy. I tried "Anyone Who Had a Heart," just now, and I was asked to leave the building immediately
Love IS all there is
Really? I'm impressed!! even the "in a week maybe two they'll make you a star" on the top and "I may go wrong and lose my way" on the bottom?? Wow! Rho. I have to hear this.
I like very much the energic and,at the same time, delicate way you sing " Wishin' and Hopin' ". The cd/album I have you singing this song is on "Nancy In London", by Sundazed for cd and Reprise for long play. Is the version on The Bacharach Collection , by Varèse Sarabande, the same version ? I will search for this cd.
< he looked fantastic, >
Yep. He is one good-lookin' guy. I'm sure you looked pretty.
I used to have a very good voice, I used to sing in many shows. I danced in many shows, and played the accordion in shows too.
Heck, I wanted to be in show business so bad, but the folks were old fashioned and said I'd be a baaaaaaaaad girl if I did, so -- woe is me, I wound up a 9 to 5er, in banking.
In memory of my Jesse and my Eric.
As I mentioned before my favorite Burt song is Raindrops.
Well I just tried to sing Raindrops, I started out fine but eventually the range became to great for me to handle. BJ Thomas is probably a tenor anyway. But there are some weirdly bended notes and intervals involved. But that is what makes Bacharach so unique.

Great to look at... sex appeal when he sings and plays piano

Transformative Gift Creates USC Glorya Kaufman School Of Dance
The gift to name the USC Kaufman School of Dance is Kaufman's largest to date. Her support of dance also includes gifts of $20 million to Dance at The Music Center in Los Angeles, $6 million to the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and $3.5 million to The Juilliard School, among others.
Kaufman made the decision not to discuss the amount of her gift, saying: "I don't want people focusing on a number. I want them to think about what my gift will do for the students who will have wonderful opportunities because of it."
This transformational gift from Kaufman represents significant support for The Campaign for the University of Southern California, a multi-year effort to secure $6 billion or more in private philanthropy to advance USC's academic priorities and expand the university's positive impact on the community and world.
In 1954, Kaufman married homebuilder Donald Bruce Kaufman and helped form what eventually would become Kaufman & Broad, a Fortune 500 building company. Following the untimely death of her husband in 1983, Kaufman focused even more of her energy on philanthropic ventures, forming a foundation to support dance, children's health programs and other health care initiatives."You know, life is difficult," she said. "I have always loved dance, ever since I was a child and I decided I wanted to do something that allows others to have the same experience I have had. [During a dance performance] I look around, and I see people smiling, and they're so into the moment. Everybody in that audience has problems, and for an hour and a half, they disappear." For Kaufman, it is important to invest in the future through dance education.

ProportionsThis lesson will teach you important concepts you need to know about proportions.
A proportion is an equality of two ratios. Simply put, whenever we put an equal sign between two ratios and the ratio on the left is equal to the ratio on the right, we say that they form a proportion.
Look at the following two ratios. Right now they are just ratios
Do they form a proportion? They will form a proportion if the ratios are equal, so first put an equal sign between them
Then, you have two choices to check if the ratios are equal
Choice #1: You can just convert both ratios into decimals and see if the decimals are equal.
Since 0.60 ≠ 0.50, the ratios are not equal and therefore do not for a proportion
Choice #2: You can also tell if two ratios are equal by comparing their cross products. If the cross products are equal, then they form a proportion.
Recall that a cross product is obtained when you multiply the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of another fraction.
3 × 12 = 36 and
5 × 6 = 30
10 × 8 = 80 and
16 × 5 = 80
80 is equal to 80, therefore, they form a proportion.
When ratios are equal, they are also called equivalent fractions.
In general, if two fractions are equivalent, they form a proportion
Then, the proportion can also be written as a:b::c:d
We can read a:b::c:d as " a is to b as c is to d "
The format above make it easy also to identify the means and the extremes
In any proportion the product of the extremes is equal to the product of the means. It is just a different way of wording the procedure of cross multiplication
Fourth proportional:
Looking at a:b::c:d, the fourth term is d. We call d fourth proportional
Equivalent proportions:
You can get an equivalent proportion by inverting each ratio:
a:b::c:d is the same as b:a::d:c
You can get others equivalent proportions by interchanging either the means, the extremes or both
a:b::c:d is the same as a:c::b:d, d:b::c:a and d:c::b:a
Think deeper:
Is your wage or the money you make per hour a proportion?
As long as the wage stays the same, it will form a proportion
Suppose you make 25 dollars per hour and work 8 hours a day
Money per hour is 25:1
Money at the end of the day is 200:8
Let us see if 25:1::200:8 form a proportion
Product of means is 1 × 200 = 200
Product of extremes is 25 × 8 = 200
Ratio of arm's length to height:
Let us now talk about the picture shown at the beginning of this lesson
In adult males, arm's length is about 5 cm greater than the height
Is it ok to say that the ratio of arm's length to height form a proportion for adult males?
If you are willing to neglect the tiny differences and use exactly 5 cm, the answer is yes
Say your wife's height is 152.4 centimeter, the arm length is then 152.4 + 5 = 157.4
Now, if your height is 165 centimeter, the arm length is then 165 + 5 = 170
157.4 / 152.4= 1.03032
170 / 165= 1.03030
Since the ratios are closely equal, you could make a claim and say that ratio of arm's length to height for adult males form a proportion
