Mashape attended HackLondon!
on March 9, 2015
Every other weekend, there is a hackathon to attend. Not all hackathons are the same though. Attendees, food, sponsors, ideas, and location all vary constantly and bring a unique vibe. Engineering your idea from 0 till the time you demo to everyone else on stage is a unique feeling. If you've never been to a hackathon,

Get into the party mode with Janis, Oliver Achatz, Homeboy and The Citizen's Band this December. We Make Music opens with JANIS´ 'Mind Made Up'; a reminder of the early Frankfurt House sound with a scent of the Soylent Green Remixes from the late 90ties. A distorted Techno siren that evolves over a tough and jacking 909 groove and finally leads into blissful deepness. Homeboy, who got some attention with his playful Hypercolour release, brings out the edgier and deeper sound in 'Sedam'; a track based on the elements of classic House, whilst breaking the borders through its arrangement and musical form. The jazzy synth riff that locks to a hypnotic 7/4 groove is what makes this track a quality gem. Previous support on Jimpsters Freerange podcast shall suffice as evidence. The flip-side starts with Oliver Achatz' track: 'It Won't Last'. Oli, being the sentimental one in this joint, proves that House music can work with a very sensual touch. The smooth and warm use of analogue synth lines combined with suggestive vocal samples, are played over a steadily drifting rhythm. This compound, of an almost meditative nature, will provide the perfect atmosphere for early morning club hours. The Citizen's Band, one half of Arto Mwambe, closes the compilation with a remix of Janis' "Mind Made Up". TCB shows that a track doesn't need much to get the crowd jumping and the party working, by returning the tune to its basic elements and making it a club banger for the "heads". 'We Make Music Vol. 1' is only the first out of the three upcoming releases set to shake your solid house ground. Selected Feedback from DJ's: Darshan Jesrani (Metro Area) "It's really good stuff - you have your own signature which I think is super important. There's so much un-original music out there that tries so hard, so it's nice to hear you guys doing your own thing." Jimpster "Killer stuff guys! I like! "Sedam" is definetly something I can feature in the Freerange Podcast" Axel Boman "I love this release!! So cool!!" Red D "The remix Chris Citizen did is a winner! I'll surely get the vinyl and play it for that one alone." Franklin De Costa "Great Ep!" Martyn original Mind Made Up is nice Lee Curtiss huge! Deetron Very cool fresh house jams! ...and many more!

Facebook to test 'satire' tag after users mistake The Onion as real news
- Sarah Drake
- Contributor- Silicon Valley Business Journal
Facebook Inc. is hoping to make it easier for users to distinguish satirical articles by websites like The Onion from real news stories by testing a satirical label that identifies the parody stories.
Some news items have caused confusion and outrage among Facebook users, as well as established publications, so the Menlo Park, Calif.-based social networking company is looking to nip the problem in the bud with the new tag, MarketWatch reported.
"We are running a small test, which shows the text '[Satire]' in front of links to satirical articles in the related articles unit in News Feed," a Facebook spokesperson told MarketWatch. "This is because we received feedback that people wanted a clearer way to distinguish satirical articles from others in these units."
For example, a 2012 article from The Onion that named North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un as the sexiest man alive was picked up by the Chinese Communist Party's official newspaper, The People's Daily, as real news. Last July, a separate story from the parody news site claiming actor Dick Van Dyke confessed to the Zodiac killings that happened in Northern California decades ago was shared by Facebook users who believed it to be true, including this comment: "It's hard to believe because Dick Van Dyke is so likable."
Other Onion headlines that have duped gullible readers include, "Busch Gardens Unveils New 9,600-Mile-Long Endurance Coaster" and "Apple Promises to Fix Glitches In Map Software By Rearranging Earth's Geography."
Details surrounding the social network's satire-tag test were not disclosed.

Vai's View: Vai's View: Reid family receives support, strength at funeral
The Express-Times, Stephen Flood, Associated Press
My wife Keala and oldest son Landon represented our family at Garrett Reid's funeral Tuesday morning, as I am in London covering the Olympics.
An NFL contingent attended led by commissioner Roger Goodell, league officials, team executives like Browns president Mike Holmgren and his head coach in Cleveland, Pat Shurmur. Other head coaches, including Bill Belichick from New England, New Orleans interim head coach Joe Vitt and John Harbaugh of Baltimore came to pay their respects. The entire Eagles team was bused from Lehigh University, joined owner Jeffrey and Christina Lurie and team personnel for the funeral in the Broomall Ward building in suburban Philadelphia.
Nearly 1,000 people packed the chapel and flowed into the cultural hall, some coming from Utah like former BYU head coach LaVell Edwards, current assistant Lance Reynolds and former Cougars and Eagles Reno Mahe and Chad Lewis.
ESPN sportscaster Chris Berman, a close friend of Andy's, came from Bristol, Conn.
My wife noted the lengths the Reids went to create an LDS presence and experience for Garrett's funeral, including using missionaries from the Philadelphia Mission as ushers and Relief Society sisters making lunch in the kitchen. They also followed LDS protocol by keeping the funeral to an hour-and-a-half.
The funeral started an hour later than scheduled because of the overwhelming number of those attending, which delayed the receiving line that snaked out of the building and into the parking lot.
Only the family had reserved seats in the chapel so the likelihood of sitting next to a celebrity, be it in the chapel or cultural hall, was high.
I suspect, had they wanted to, the Reids could have requested a few rows for their VIP guests, but Andy probably wanted to send a subtle message that in our faith, we don't have VIPs.
My wife was moved by the selection of hymns and noted that sitting near her and our son, former Eagles Pro Bowl running back Brian Westbrook and, further down, Bill Belichick and commissioner Goodell shared a hymn book and sang heartily, "Families Can Be Together Forever."
Garrett's uncle Bart Winters, married to Tammy Reid's sister, offered the eulogy.
Two of the Reids' former bishops and their current bishop spoke. Closing remarks were given by presiding authority Elder Robert Smith, an area authority and attorney who lives in Philadelphia.
The most poignant portion of the program was the Reids' oldest daughter, Crosby, recently returned from the Florida Orlando Mission, singing a solo of "My Heavenly Father Loves Me." It was Garrett's favorite song.
Initially, she struggled to contain her emotions, but as she sang, she seemed to gain composure and strength from an unseen source. There wasn't a dry eye in the house.
Andy and Tammy were incredibly strong and gracious. At the receiving line, Andy hugged my wife Keala, who melted into tears. He thanked her for coming, for bringing Landon, and expressed gratitude that I had emailed my condolences from London.
When we spoke in the evening, Keala said Andy has always been such a gentle soul, soft-spoken and sweet; a paradox given his size and tough exterior as an NFL coach.
The closing hymn was "God Be With You 'Til We Meet Again."
Today in Philadelphia, the media and Eagles Nation are amazed at the strength and resolve the Reids have shown.
"Garrett is at peace," Andy Reid said. "It's the family that has to work through it. We understand Garrett is at peace...that comforts both of us...thank goodness for our faith."

E.A. Sports Pays Student Athletes $40 Million, But NCAA Remains Greedy
Well, it's a pretty good day to be a student athlete who was featured in one of E.A. Sports' College Football or College Basketball games.
While it doesn't come as a total surprise, EA Sports and Collegiate Licensing Company will pay over $40 million to settle lawsuits formed by ex-players whose likenesses were used without compensation. It's unknown how the large pie of money is supposed to be split up, but these millions are definitely a step in the right direction for the fearless leader behind this all — Ed O'Bannon.
After over four years of trying to get the folks at E.A. Sports, the CLC and the NCAA to pay for using innocent playing without paying a price; O'Bannon is finally starting to see his hard work pay off. This lawsuit was something that most didn't see coming to fruition just a few years ago, yet the ex-UCLA Bruins' star has taken a stand and hopes to give all players a nice chunk of change.

Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Can Now Boot With Systemd
Published on 28 April 2014 02:25 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
15 Comments
Just days after
Ubuntu 14.10 opened for development
, a systemd package has landed within the "
Utopic Unicorn
" package archive that allows the Ubuntu desktop to be booted via systemd rather than Upstart.
Earlier this year after Debian decided to adopt systemd in favor of Upstart or other alternatives,
Ubuntu pledged to support systemd
after long favoring their "own" Upstart init system. The official plan for the Ubuntu Upstart to systemd migration is to
become the default before Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
but beyond that their systemd plans are still quite fluid.
While systemd will not replace Upstart in Ubuntu 14.10 if the support isn't ready before October, there's already a systemd package for Ubuntu Utopic so developers and early adopters can begin testing. A systemd package just landed in Utopic that's in better shape than a systemd package found in utopic-proposed from a few days ago.
Canonical's Martin Pitt wrote on
his blog
, "I think systemd in current utopic works well enough to not break a developer's day to day workflow, so we can now start parallelizing the work of identifying packages which only have upstart jobs and provide corresponding systemd units (or SysV script). Also, this hasn't yet been tested on the phone at all, I'm sure that it'll require quite some work (e. g. lxc-android-config has a lot of upstart jobs). To clarify, there is nofixed date/plan/deadline when this will be done, in particular it might well last more than one release cycle. So we'll "release" (i. e. switch to it as a default) when it's ready :-)"

Dart 1.1 Claims Up To 25% Faster JavaScript

Just two months after
Google declared Dart production ready
with its 1.0 release, Dart 1.1 was released on Thursday and it now claims to be up to 25% faster than its JavaScript performance.
Dart, Google's initiative for a new web programming language that can also compile to JavaScript, says that it's now running 25% better than the first (v1.0) release. In some cases the performance has doubled compared to the November state of the open-source project.
Besides faster performance the Dart 1.1 release also has improvements for server-side Dart. Dart 1.1 also has UDP support.
More details on all of the changes and new features for the Dart 1.1 implementation can be found via the release announcement blog post at

116-mile Tahoe-area bike trail wins award
A Reno-based group helping to build a 116-mile bike trail in Nevada and California will be honored with a federal Green Transportation Award...
The federal Environmental Protection Agency will present the award to the Tahoe-Pyramid Bikeway group, a volunteer organization that has been soliciting funds to add sections to the trail. Trail construction is a collaborative effort of cities in the region, as well as counties, both states, and federal agencies.
Some portions of the bikeway run on city streets, but most sections provide cyclists and pedestrians with a designated path near the Truckee River, away from car traffic.
Craig Wesner, a member of the bikeway group advisory board, calls the effort a "legacy project."
"This is one of the most beautiful corridors" in the region, he said. "We want to make it accessible to cyclists and foot traffic so they can enjoy the beauty the Truckee River has to offer."
The group website is www.tpbikeway.org

About the Tahoe-Pyramid Bikeway
Photo by Jeff Ross
A "Bikeway" is defined in highway administration manuals as "a generic term for any road, street, path, or way that in some manner is specifically designated for bicycle travel, regardless of whether such facilities are designated for the exclusive use of bicycles or are to be shared with other transportation modes."
Bikeway founder, Janet Phillips (at that time Carson), spent a year investigating the route for feasibility on the ground and then went public with the concept in November 2003. Thanks to immediate and enthusiastic support of both money and talent from many eager participants, the project was able to get off to a quick start with over 200 supporters and $30,000 in cash by year-end. In 2006 the Bikeway became a nonprofit organization.
In November 2003, Reno-Gazette Journal article about lack of bike routes from Reno to Verdi was headlined: "You can�t get there from here." By May 2005, thanks to generous donors and supporters, we completed this first link in the Tahoe-Pyramid Bikeway, and turned it over to the City of Reno for long-term ownership and maintenance.
Bikeway Leadership
The Bikeway was launched under the auspices of the Nevada Land Conservancy until establishing its own organization and nonprofit 501(c)3 status. The Bikeway leadership includes:
- President, Janet Phillips
- Vice President, Bill vonPhul
- Treasurer, Terry McAfee
- Board Member, Clif Usher
- Board Member, Jen Simmons
In addition, an informal advisory group includes Bob Rusk, Ted Fuetsch, Debbie Leonard, Maddy Shipman, Craig Wesner, Sam Limerick and Chris Askin.
The Bikeway Leadership Team meets monthly on the 1st Thursday at 4pm, in downtown Reno. Anyone who would like to become involved is invited to join in!
Verdi Trail
As each section of Bikeway is opened for public use, it is turned over to a local government entity to own and manage it.

Excellent anti-virus,
This review is from: BitDefender AntiVirus Plus 2013 - 1 User 1 Year (CD-ROM)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Programme (What's this?)
BitDefender antivirus does what it says on the tin - but it does it a lot better than many of the other antivirus engines. It manages to strike the right balance between giving too much information and dumbing your AV down (and presumably enhancing usability) - it gives you enough info, with easy options for seeing more. It doesn't treat you like an idiot, but it also comes with smart controls and customisation options.
Installation (on Win7 x64) is quick and the process doesn't prompt you with loads of questions. When you install it, as with other AV products, it'll do a quick scan and show you any other vulnerabilities in your system, like weak passwords. The product includes a file shredder for secure deletion, which is quite handy.
It does take a while to do a full system scan, but is thorough, finding things like tracking cookies, and is quicker than many other products. To scan the 2.7m items on my PC, it took 2hrs 41 mins, which is fairly swift in my experience. It disinfects things by default, giving you the option to delete.
So far - a few days in - it seems like one of the best AV packages out there, but I will update my review if anything else noteworthy happens with it.

Honolulu, HI (SportsNetwork.com) - A corner jumper by Christian Standhardinger with 1.4 seconds to play provided host Hawaii with a thrilling 76-74 win over the Saint Mary's Gaels in the semifinals of the Diamond Head Classic at the Stan Sheriff Center.
Standhardinger finished with 22 points and nine rebounds for the Rainbow Warriors (8-3) as they notched their sixth win in the last seven outings. Also scoring in double figures for Hawaii were Isaac Fotu with 13 points, Brandon Spearman 12 and Aaron Valdes 10 points in the victory.
The Gaels (9-2), losers of two straight after landing in Honolulu with an unblemished 9-0 record, were led by Brad Waldow with 17 points and nine boards, followed by James Walker III with 16 points, Beau Levesque 14 and Kerry Carter 12 points in the losing cause. Stephen Holt accounted for nine points and a game-high eight assists.
Both teams shot the ball well from the floor in the first half, the Rainbow Warriors converting 52.0 percent and the visitors 54.5 percent, but even with a 6-of-11 showing behind the 3-point line and a perfect 9-of-9 effort at the charity stripe, the Gaels still trailed by four at the break, 43-39.
In the second half SMC again shot the ball well from the floor at a 51.9 percent clip, but the squad missed out on a chance to take a one-point lead with 30.3 seconds to play when Levesque missed a free throw following a game- tying layup.
With the score knotted at 72-72 the Rainbow Warriors played for the last shot and found Standhardinger in the corner for the game-winner.
Hawaii, which forced 17 turnovers and outscored the Gaels at the free-throw line, 22-12, won the only previous meeting between the programs before tonight as well, a 94-70 decision more than three decades ago.
Both teams will be back in action on Christmas Day as the Gaels battle George Mason and Hawaii goes up against Oregon State in the championship round of the tournament.
Oklahoma running back Keith Ford has been suspended indefinitely for violating academic and team rules, Sooners coach Bob Stoops confirmed Monday.
Qualifying for NASCAR national touring series races at Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway will no longer feature a pack of cars running together.
If Teddy Bridgewater taught us anything, it's trust the tape, at least over a pro day.
The Seattle Mariners granted pitcher Kevin Correia his unconditional release Monday, one day after assigning the veteran to minor league camp.
Minnesota Timberwolves coach Flip Saunders announced that center Nikola Pekovic would miss the remainder of the season after sustaining an ankle injury in March.
The Minnesota Wild agreed to terms on entry-level contracts with goaltender Brody Hoffman and defenseman Zach Palmquist on Monday.

If it's so much better to give than receive, why are some Facebook users sitting on their hands?
The Pew Internet and American Life Project released a new report today that suggests Facebook users are not a uniformly active bunch. According to the study, the typical Facebook user gets more friend requests than she sends, is tagged in photos more than she tags, and has posts Liked more often than she Likes herself.
But wait — shouldn't it all even out? After all, every friend request has a requester and a requestee. If a typical user is skews passive on Facebook, where's all the action coming from?
The answer: a collection of "power users" who, according to the report, are becoming specialists of a sort. You know that friend who only posts tons of photos, or the one who goes on a Liking spree, or the one who seems to rack up an inordinate amount of friends? Yup, they're doing the work for the rest of us. Even on a flat platform, behavior still moves toward a division of labor:
A proportion of Facebook participants — ranging between 20% and 30% of users depending on the type of activity — were power users who performed these same activities at a much higher rate; daily or more than weekly.
Essentially, in the funny parlance you could only get in a report about Facebook: "People are liked more than they like." Some data:
Facebook users in our sample on average contributed about four comments for every status update that they made. On average, users make nine status updates per month and contribute 21 comments. Some 33% of Facebook users here updated their status at least once per week. Still, half of our sample made no status updates in the month of our analysis.
Discussion of social media circles around the word "engagement" — but even for many users of social networks, the experience is more about taking-it-all-in than about response and conversation. For a news industry with a long history of one-way communication, that might be a little…comforting? Facebook's value, at least to media and other companies looking to tap into audiences, is that it's a super-broad platform built for content and transactional activity. A link is posted; it's rewarded with a like. A question is asked; it elicits comments. The Pew survey paints a picture where that action is less than reliable:
A third of our sample (33%) used the like button at least once per week during this month, and 37% had content they contributed liked by a friend at least once per week. However, the majority of Facebook users neither liked content, nor was their content liked by others, in our month of observation.
If Facebook activity disproportionately relies on a subset of power users with busy hands, that's an opening for news outlets or individual journalists to fill that need. The conversation is far more distributed than it was pre-Internet, but it's still not evenly distributed.
Pew says that Facebook comment-leaving is a bit more reciprocal than some other kinds of Facebook behavior:
More than half our sample (55%) commented on a friend's content at least once in the month, and 51% received comments from a friend. A large segment of users, a little over 20%, contributed or received a comment every day. The average of 21 comments given on friends' content was nearly identical to the average of 20 that were received. Again, there are some extreme users as well, about 5% of our sample contributed and received over 100 comments in the month of our observation.
Pew's data is based on a sample of 269 Facebook users, initially identified through a random phone survey, but who then allowed Pew to track their trails on the site. While its findings may give a (slight) challenge to the idea that Facebook is a heavily engaged network where everyone's sharing all the time, the report still found big, enticing numbers for any publishing looking to reach a big audience: The median user in their sample is within two degrees of separation (friends of friends) of 31,170 people on Facebook. (For one uber-connected user, that number was 7,821,772.) We already know Facebook is growing as a top referrer to many news sites, so what's clear from this report is that they need to keep it up. If power users are the straw that stirs the drink on Facebook, then it's more important than ever for journalists and media companies play an active role.

|Millennials say keeping up with the news is important to them — but good luck getting them to pay for it
The new report from the Media Insight Project looks at millennials' habits and attitudes toward news consumption: "I really wouldn't pay for any type of news because as a citizen it's my right to know the news."
|The next stage in the battle for our attention: Our wrists
News companies have moved from print dollars to digital dimes to mobile pennies. Now, with the highly anticipated launch of the Apple Watch, the screens are getting even smaller. How are smart publishers thinking about the right way to serve users and maintain their attention on smartwatches?
|A wave of distributed content is coming — will publishers sink or swim?
Instead of just publishing to their own websites, news organizations are being asked to publish directly to platforms they don't control. Is the hunt for readers enough to justify losing some independence?

Craigentinny hotels
Craigentinny is a suburb located east of Edinburgh in Scotland, close to the sea. Land in this area once belonged to William Miller, whose grandson, also William, was a politician and occupant of Craigentinny Castle in the early 19th century. The suburb has a wealth of historic monuments and impressive architecture dating back to the early 1600s and will please sightseers to the area. Since the 1920s, the area has undergone gradual yet significant transformation. It has become a quiet residential community with housing consisting mainly of bungalows.
- Visit Craigentinny Castle in Edinburgh and view this colossal remnant of classical architecture whilst discovering the background of its former occupants.
- Check out the Craigentinny Marbles, a large monument-like structure with intricate engravings that is actually the mausoleum of William Henry Miller, surprisingly now surrounded by residences.
- Partake in one of Edinburgh's favourite pastimes and play a round of golf at the Craigentinny Golf Course, an 18-hole course with a view of Calton Hill's historic monuments and Arthur's Seat.
The distance from the centre of Edinburgh to Craigentinny is approximately 4.5 kilometres, and the suburb is easily reachable from the city centre. If driving, take the Waterloo A1 and head east towards Calton Hill. Stay on the A1 for approximately three kilometres and join Portobello Rd/A1140 for one kilometre before turning left and proceeding to the heart of the suburb. The community is also served by a public bus system that connects to the city and the surrounding area. If coming from the Edinburgh airport, drivers can take Eastfield Road, join Glasgow road/A8, and proceed onwards to the City Bypass and follow the directions to the suburb.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
School of shop
Thousands of parents are forking out hundreds of dollars for back-to-school supplies, but for many -- pencils, pens and scribblers -- aren't on their lists
Every August, Debbie Bray has an extraordinarily long list of school supplies to purchase. It's a seemingly monumental task, and she even complicates the matter by comparison-shopping across the city at Staples, Superstore, Giant Tiger and elsewhere looking for the best quality for the lowest price.
But Bray isn't shopping for her own children, per se. She's on the hunt for school supplies for the 23 or more students in her Grade 2 and 3 combined class at Carpathia Elementary school in Winnipeg.
Besides ensuring her students have the right-quality supplies, Bray says her annual shopping runs save time for parents in her class -- and money, too.
"The plus for the parents is that we take the time ourselves to find the best price, and usually as a teacher, you're buying in bulk so the cost is less."
In fact, all teachers at the school buy supplies for their students before the school year starts, says principal Holly Mackie.
The cost for parents is $45, or about $4.50 per month for a year's supply of scribblers, pencils, crayons, pencil crayons, erasers, scissors, glue and even a pencil case.
"I think more of our schools are moving toward that because most parents really appreciate that there's one cost at the beginning of the year for school supplies for the entire year," Mackie says.
Of course for many parents, school supplies are just one small part of the annual back-to-school spending rituals.
Canadian families spend on average hundreds of dollars for their children's return to the classroom -- at least according to the many surveys that start popping up in late summer.
For example, a recent survey by Visa Canada found Canadian families plan to spend on average $488 on back-to-school purchases this year.
That's less than last year, says Ann-Marie McIntosh, head of digital services Visa Canada.
"We've seen that decrease by about 15 per cent over 2012," she says. "There's an element of being more frugal for this part of their annual shopping experience."
Part of this move toward more price-conscious spending is an increase in online shopping, she adds.
"Almost 80 per cent of Canadians will be shopping online for back to school, which is obviously a significant percentage."
And nine out of 10 of those surveyed stated they engage in 'showrooming' to find the best deal.
"So I, as consumer, would go into a store and see something that I like," she says. "Then I can either go online on my phone while at that store and see if it can be found somewhere cheaper, or I'm going to go home and on my tablet or my laptop to see if I can buy that product for less online."
Overall, parents are still predominantly shopping in bricks and mortar retail outlets, accounting for about two-thirds of spending. But online shopping is growing. Even shopping for clothing is increasingly done online, McIntosh says.
"When we look at overall online spending in Canada, apparel is our number one growth category."
Another recent survey of Canadian families also found Canadian families plan to spend hundreds on back to school, only considerably less than what Visa's poll discovered.
According ING Direct, parents plan to spend about $252 for back to school. The poll also looked at children's attitudes toward back-to-school spending and found they come surprisingly very close to their parents' estimates.
Surveyed children estimate their parents will spend about $232 for their school supplies and clothing.
"There is some alignment there, which means kids are relatively reasonable about what would be spent," says Silvio Stroescu, ING Direct's head of deposits.
One reason why the numbers are so close is many parents -- 75 per cent -- use these shopping expeditions as a teaching moment for their children.
"It's a great opportunity for parents because it involves something that interests their kids," he says. "Half the job is already done because if you want to teach someone something, the learner has to be engaged."
To facilitate the learning process, ING Direct also recently launched a website for educating children about finances.
Called LilSavers.ca, it includes a savings program that allows children to budget and save for goals where they can learn money basics, such as earning interest on savings.
"For example, if your child saves $50, you can set on the website the interest rate at five per cent, and say 'I'll pay you five per cent on the money you save,'" he says. "That provides them with an opportunity to learn about the importance having their money work for them."
Parents also have the option to set out objectives, like chores, for how their children can earn their money. While it's likely too late for this school year, Stroescu says the website could be a useful tool for parents and children who may already want to set goals for wants and needs for next year's annual back-to-school shopping trip.
This might come in particularly handy for clothing purchases, which for many parents make up the largest outlays.
That's likely the case at schools like Carpathia, where supplies aren't a big expense.
For Carpathia's principal, Mackie, the fact that supplies are already taken care of is more than a convenience for parents. It also has another important benefit.
"Our neighbourhood is very diverse -- both culturally and economically -- and this is a way for families to start the school year off on an even playing field," she says. "Everybody has the same supplies and it's great because it really eliminates possible friction."

Ken Taylor says he feels slighted by "Argo"
Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter says "90 per cent of the contributions to the ideas and the consummation of the plan was Canadian," but the film "gives almost full credit to the American CIA."
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Canada's former ambassador to Iran, who protected Americans at great personal risk during the Iran hostage crisis of 1979, said Friday if "Argo" wins the Oscar for best picture there would be something wrong with director Ben Affleck if he didn't mention Canada.
Ken Taylor said he continues to feel slighted by a movie that he says makes Canada look like a meek observer to CIA heroics in the rescue of six U.S. citizens caught in the crisis. Taylor said if Affleck doesn't say something in his acceptance speech "then it's a further reflection" on him.
"I would hope he would," Taylor said. "But given the events of the last while I'm not necessarily anticipating anything."
Taylor kept the Americans hidden at the embassy in Tehran and facilitated the escape. He became a hero in Canada and the United States after.
Affleck's CIA thriller "Argo" is widely expected to win the best-picture trophy on Sunday. Two other high-profile best-picture nominees this year, Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty" and Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," have also been criticized for their portrayal of some factual issues.
"In general it makes it seem like the Canadians were just along for the ride. The Canadians were brave. Period," Taylor said.
Taylor noted that former U.S. President Jimmy Carter appeared on CNN on Thursday night and said "90 per cent of the contributions to the ideas and the consummation of the plan was Canadian," but the film "gives almost full credit to the American CIA."
"There would be no movie without the Canadians. We took the six in without being asked so it starts there," Taylor said. "And the fact that we got them out with some help from the CIA then that's where the story loses itself. I think Jimmy Carter has it about right, it was 90 per cent Canada, 10 per cent the CIA."
Affleck said he thought his issue with Taylor had been resolved.
"I admire Ken very much for his role in rescuing the six houseguests. I consider him a hero. In light of my many conversations as well as a change to an end card that Ken requested I am surprised that Ken continues to take issue with the film," Affleck said in a statement. "I spoke to him recently when he asked me to narrate a documentary he is prominently featured in and yet he didn't mention any lingering concerns. I agreed to do it and I look forward to seeing Ken at the recording."
Friends of Taylor were outraged last September when "Argo" debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival. The original postscript of the movie said that Taylor received 112 citations and awards for his work in freeing the hostages and suggested Taylor didn't deserve them because the movie ends with the CIA deciding to let Canada have the credit for helping the Americans escape.
Taylor called the postscript lines "disgraceful and insulting" and said it would have caused outrage in Canada if the lines were not changed. Affleck flew Taylor to Los Angeles after the Toronto debut and allowed Taylor to insert a postscript written by Taylor that gave Canada some credit.
Taylor called it a good movie and said he's not rooting against it, but said it is far from accurate.
"He's a good director. It's got momentum. There's nothing much right from Day 1 I could do about the movie. I changed a line at the end because the caption at the end was disgraceful. It's like Tiananmen Square, you are sitting in front of a big tank," Taylor said.
Taylor said Carter's remarks support what he has been saying for months.
"Canadians know the truth and a lot of U.S. citizens do. Those involved know it," he said. "If it conveys something about diplomacy I'll be happy if he wins. He's a good guy. He's very affable, a lot of talent."
Taylor's wife, Pat, said everyone has tried to be "diplomatic" about it. Pat, who was with Ken in Iran, would have preferred if the movie said at the start that it was "based on true events" instead of saying it was a true story.
"Even President Carter said that Tony Mendez, which is the CIA character that Ben Affleck played, was just in Iran for a day and a half," she said. "I think Ben has directed a very good action movie. Unfortunately people's perception of what actually happened is coloured."
