Veganism is becoming a more diverse movement, changing in the face of its reputation as a stronghold of hippies in Birkenstocks eating bean sprouts, granola and bird seed. In particular, and like the environmental movement, veganism has been seen as a diet for whites. The blog Stuff White People Like includes Vegan/Vegetarianism as #32 on its list.
But African-Americans are beginning to make the shift to a plant-based diet, according to the Toledo Blade. Some are redefining "soul food" as food that nourishes the spirit rather than more traditional and familiar heavy foods.
A wave of vegan and vegetarian cookbooks aimed at African Americans illustrates the shift in eating patterns. The Toledo Blade mentions "By Any Greens Necessary" by Tracye Lynn McQuirter; "Vegan Soul Kitchen: Fresh, Healthy, & Creative African American Cuisine" by Bryant Terry, and "The Ethnic Vegetarian" by Angela Shelf Medearis. Blogs like Vegans of Color and Sistah Vegan tackle issues of interest to this growing population.
The Grio identifies another sign that African Americans are growing more interested in dropping meat from the menu: "Traci Thomas, founder of the Black Vegetarian Society of Georgia, which organizes the annual Meat Out-Vegetarian Food and Wholistic Health Fair in Atlanta, says attendance has trebled in just five years, with more vegetarians and vegans coming through the doors."
The Philadelphia Inquirer has also noticed the trend. Its website quotes Stephanie Daniel, who attends a weekly vegan brunch and believes "More and more black people, and everyone else, want to turn their diet around."
The growing number of black vegans counters not only a stereotype of vegans, but also a stereotype of African Americans. Black vegan Evelyn Redcross says she has been told that "black vegans don't exist." Redcross and her husband run the vegan brunch Daniel attends and offer a wide variety of foods — including collard greens in a healthy vegan version.
One African American community that has long eschewed animal products is the Black Hebrews. They are vegan in accordance with Genesis 1:29, which says "Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food."
According to Redcross, the rise in veganism correlates with a growing interest in health in the African American community. There are also many role models for black vegans, including "athletes Hank Aaron and Carl Lewis; Hollywood's Cicely Tyson, Angela Bassett, and Vanessa Williams; entrepreneur Russell Simmons, and musician Lenny Kravitz."
The Grio observes that "surprisingly," veganism is becoming more popular even among black men. In 2012, the site reports, pro football player "Arian Foster joined the likes of rap artist Andre 3000, former NFL running back Ricky Williams and boxer Mike Tyson by changing his diet to a vegan one." The Grio quotes Constance Brown-Riggs, national spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetic, who says that "Years ago vegetarian diets were synonymous with tofu and bean sprouts. But, proponents of plant based diets have now made it more 'sexy' and socially acceptable."
(Pat on the back to us, fellow vegans, for making our diets sexy!)
The diversification of veganism is good news for the movement, the animals, and the individuals embracing a healthier diet. The more varied vegans are, the stronger we are, and the less easily dismissed as a fringe element. The diet will also spread faster with representatives in a larger variety of communities. And of course, the more people who stop eating animal products, the fewer animals suffer and die. Everybody wins.

I'd love to hear that veganism is now mainstream. Who knows? There's always a chance!
Thank you for sharing
We love you, little dolphin.
I never saw this as a "race thing" but I have always been a bit naive when it comes to those things (I didn't realize racism was still a thing until I went to college...I thought it was a thing of the past, as it really ought to be)
Anyways, regardless of that, I think people taking an interest and charge of their health is great. I have met many people through work over the past few weeks trying out the vegan diet- black, white, Asian, Hispanic- and I do the same with all of them- I share a few of my favorite quick and easy recipes and a few good websites.
I guess in order to promote the positive and compassionate stances of vegan lifestyle, we have to avoid extreme practices and comments that may put off non-supporters. We need to show people that veganism, like any other personal choice of lifestyle, comes in many shades, and each person can moderate his/her vegan lifestyle according to his/her ability and social environment. The bottom line is, it is our choice to lead a healthier, guilt-free (as best as we could) and positive life, contributing to the welfare of the world (animals included), and giving back to Mother Earth.
Why do I see people professing to be VEGAN wearing leather? The ones who advertise their vegan-ism are putting on a show.
Thanks...very nice
Plants are life but not human-like...we survive by eating what was once living. Humans are part of this world and we and all other life exists by eating what was once a living organic being. One can say plants are 'nothing' as they are not 'sentient' but humans view things in our own image. For some, plants are not like us so they count for nothing. Yet they gave their lives so we can live as well as animals that also feed on them. We are all part of Nature's food chain whether we eat plants, animals or both.
Everyone who is waking up for the fact that their eating habits are causing animals unnecessary suffering and death, and since people are good at heart, then they want to turn vegan.
It is morally wrong to kill another sentient being in the absence of a true conflict or compulsio - regardless of if the sentient being is a dog, a cat or a cow, or any other animal.
The average life-length of a cow in Sweden i 5 years [and it is the same in the States] (either they get sick because of all abuse they been through, or they can't produce enough milk for the farmer's greed, because their bodies are getting worn out). Ignoring the pain and the feelings of the cows, they murder the cows when they can't produce any more milk. I understand that many are very disconnected and actually do think that they do the best they can for their animals. It doesn't change reality though.
That the average cow become only 5 year [numbers from the milk-industry] shows how abusive the average treatment is and excessive milking is to cows.
Having said this, I know there are farmers or families who are less abusive to their cows, but it doesn't in anyway justify the routine-practice of killing their male-calves born [Google the 'veal industry'] (or selling them to someone who will brutally slaughter them), and to use the animal for "our purposes" [milk-products are only for "taste" and "enjoyment", and it causes diseases: http://www.news-medical.net/news/2005/09/12/13120.aspx and For kes over K

"This is a great invitation for a mother-to-be who does not know the gender of the baby and is also not your typical pink/blue, colorful type of person. She is fairly modern and more contemporary so this suited her perfectly!"
"The invitations were adorable and sweet. We received many comments from our guests. The thickness and weight of the card were exactly what I wanted not flimsy and light. I received my order within few days. I would recommend this product to you. You won't be disappointed."
"I was ordering baby shower invitations for my daughter's shower. The card was perfect and the customer service was outstanding. I even received a handwritten note from my customer service representative saying she hoped I loved the invitation! I was quite impressed with this company."
"I have two nieces (sisters) that are expecting within a couple of months of the other, so decided for the benefit of the guests (90% would have been invited to both showers) to do a joint shower. I was worried that creating an invitation would be tricky, but this was perfect. Both Moms-to-be were thrilled! The envelope option was a bonus."
"This invitation came to my doorstep so quickly. It looks exactly as I designed it. I absolutely love it. It is dainty and sweet. Perfect for a simple low key baby shower."

Good afternoon,
WinUSB is working well on the development computer that I am using (Win XP SP3). I am able to download new firmware to the Cypress FX2, and then connect to the new USB device once it 'renumerates'. However, if I've tried the same code with the WinUSB driver on a few other computers (Win XP SP3, Win7 x64) and they both returned the error "A device attached to the system is not functioning." when trying to use CreateFile to get a handle to the USB device.
The devicePath was found successfully, so I'm not sure why it cannot connect to the device. Furthermore, the device manager states that my device is working properly. I'm curious if I'm missing something when compiling the code? I would guess that my development computer has something installed on it that the other computers do not? Or perhaps it's a power setting and the device is going to sleep (although I've fooled around with the Power Options on each computer to no avail).
Does anyone have any ideas? I've compiled under Visual Studio 2008, and have installed the Microsoft C++ 2008 Redistributable Package on the computers that I've tested on.

Multitouch gesture controlled microscope - the 'iPad on steroids'
March 27, 2011
Researchers at the Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM) have collaborated with Finnish company Multitouch Ltd to create a giant touch and gesture controlled microscope. The Multitouch microscope uses a combination of web based microscopy and a 46-inch multitouch display to create what researcher Dr Johan Lundin calls "an iPad on steroids." A useful tool for interactive teaching and learning, the microscope allows users to zoom in or out with a two handed stretch or pinch gesture – all the way down to 1000x magnification.
Web based virtual microscopy was developed a few years ago by the Universities Of Helsinki and Tampere. It works with biological samples which are digitized using a microscopy scanner and then stored on an image server. The virtual slide which is created is composed of up to 50000 separate digital images organized into a mosaic of the sample at high magnification. The image size of these samples can be up to 200 gigabytes and the image mosaic can be viewed over the internet using a web browser on your computer, smart phone or in this case – a 46-inch interactive screen.
Giant, even wall size, screens could be used where groups of researchers or students and their teachers can all manipulate the image on the system, which is able to recognize the hands of multiple users at the same time.
"The learning curve is practically zero as compared to conventional microscopy which can be quite challenging for students," says the University of Helsinki's Dr Johan Lundin. "At scientific meetings this technology is excellent in a situation where a group of users need to simultaneously view a microscopy sample, for example when a consensus needs to be reached concerning a new disease entity or a rare case."
The Multitouch Microscope is demonstrated in the following video:Share

Microsoft cuts the price of Windows 8 and Office 2013 to overcome slow adoption March 6, 2013 at 12:11 pm
In a double whammy of bad news, it seems that Microsoft has been forced to cut the price of Windows and Office licenses to spur the adoption of Windows 8 — and Samsung, citing lack of consumer interest, has pulled its Windows RT tablet from Germany and 'additional European countries.'
Microsoft's Surface Mini: Will it run Windows 8, or Windows Phone 8? February 14, 2013 at 1:57 pm
In an interesting conversation at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference yesterday, Microsoft's CFO Peter Klein indicated that a Surface Mini might be waiting in the offing. There's no indication of what size the Surface Mini might be, but it's fairly safe to assume that it would be a 7-inch tablet that goes head-to-head against the Nexus 7, Kindle Fire, and iPad Mini.
Microsoft attempts to address mediocre Surface Pro reviews February 7, 2013 at 8:04 am
In an effort to combat the negativity swirling around Microsoft's Surface Pro tablet, the Surface team has performed a Reddit AMAA (ask me almost anything). Headed up by Panos Panay, the Surface general manager, the team tackled questions about battery life, storage space, and the too-high-resolution display. We also learnt that the Surface Pro, despite being equipped with UEFI secure boot, will happily run Linux — and that there's probably a docking station on its way.
Surface Pro review round-up: Fast, fat, and not enough battery life to be useful February 6, 2013 at 12:01 pm
More than three months after the release of Microsoft's Surface RT tablet, the first full reviews of the Surface Pro are in — and they're not good. While being lauded for its innovative design and top-notch display, almost every review notes that the Surface Pro is plagued by poor battery life, cumbersome dimensions for a tablet, and weak cameras.
Microsoft may invest $3 billion in Dell, massively expanding its hardware operation January 23, 2013 at 6:20 am
New mutterings suggest that Microsoft could invest up to $3B in Dell if the latter chooses to go private. Such a move would fundamentally change the entire PC industry and could pit Microsoft directly against the OEM partners it relies upon to move Windows 8.
Microsoft announces Surface Pro release date, price, and Surface RT updates January 22, 2013 at 12:16 pm
Microsoft has announced that the Surface Pro tablet will go on sale in the US and Canada on February 9. The 64GB model will sell for $900, while 128GB will set you back $1000. There is no word on when the Surface Pro will come to other territories, like western Europe.
Surface Pro: Even Microsoft's own tablet can't solve Windows 8's intrinsic flaws January 10, 2013 at 10:52 am
At CES 2013 in Las Vegas, Microsoft is finally showing off its Surface Pro tablet. The general response for Microsoft's ubertablet has been favorable, though it's clear that many of the same issues that affect the Surface RT also plague the Pro.
Microsoft Surface Pro expected to ship this month, but will it be worth the wait? January 4, 2013 at 3:08 pm
The more costly Intel tablet is on its way, and rumor has it launching at the end of this month. Numerous calls to Microsoft stores around the US all have a consistent message of late January. Both January 26th and 29th have been bandied about, but a window of a few days doesn't make much of a difference. When we can see the RT and Pro models of the Surface head-to-head, we'll have a better picture of where Microsoft sits in the tablet landscape.
The Windows 8 Store is broken: Here's how to fix it December 18, 2012 at 10:53 am
It's been two months since the Windows Store launched, and the experience is still pretty rough. More apps aren't the answer to the problems , in most cases — we lay out the issues, and how to fix them.
AMD's next-gen Bobcat APU could win big in notebooks and tablets – if it launches on time December 4, 2012 at 10:45 am
AMD's Kabini looks like it'll be the company's frontrunner in 2013. It's shaping up to be an impressive processor, and a promising alternative to ARM or Clover Trail.

Long Island Restaurant Week
As the weather cools, restaurants offer bargains to lure diners from the warmth of hearth and home. Long Island Restaurant Week will begin Sunday and continue through Nov. 9, with more than 165 restaurants offering prix fixe, three-course menus for $27.95.
Participating South Fork eateries are 1770 House and the Living Room at c/o the Maidstone in East Hampton, Almond and Topping Rose House in Bridgehampton, and the Cuddy and Page at 63 Main in Sag Harbor.
Guild Hall will present two new exhibitions, "Mary Ellen Bartley: Leaning Above the Page" and "New Additions to the Guild Hall Museum Permanent Collection, 2010-2014," from Saturday through Jan. 4. An opening reception will be held Saturday from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
The Hamptons International Film Festival announced their annual awards Monday morning at the East Hampton Presbyterian Church.
The festival's Audience Awards went to Stephen Frears's "Philomena," a drama starring Dame Judi Dench, and "Desert Runners," Jennifer Steinman's documentary about the 4 Deserts Race Series of 150-mile ultramarathons. Irene Taylor Brodsky's "One Last Hug (…And a Few Smooches): Three Days at Grief Camp" won the Audience Award for Best Short.
Filmed in Bellport over a period of 18 days for $700,000, "The Maid's Room" has the look of an expensive Hollywood production. "We did everything we could to make a local film, but not a small film," says Michael Walker, its director.

Which appliances to buy?
We are moving into a new home that comes with everything except washer and dryer. I have not yet begun researching this and wonder if anyone has recommendations. I am probably looking at mid to high end. I'm not that interested in a million wash options, but in a really good thorough and fast wash. Same with the dryer. There are five of us, so large capacity would be good. I am not sure about front or top load.
Any ideas?
5.1 cu. ft. washer - 8.0 cu. ft. dryer.
Wash times can be short or extended (by choosing light/heavy soil levels) along with other settings/options.
I just can't see how top load "he" machines get huge loads clean. IMHO...tumbling clothes makes more sense than a wash plate that turns back and forth with hardly enough water to cover items and there is hardly any turnover.
I'm sure you'll get lots of ideas/opinions here.
Best of luck.
Electrolux Wave Touch Quick Wash is about 18 minutes. BUT, it is only for small loads, with very little soiling. Dry Cycle is of course, also for small loads.
Most other machines with Quick Wash Cycles are about 30 mins. Drying cycles are either based on a set time you choose, or moisture sensors.
A small load, will dry in about 30 mins in my Miele T9802 dryer. Regular large loads take about 40/45 mins.
I LOVE, LOVE my Miele W4842 and T9802 dryer.

Great aeroponics ? ok I have intermediate knowledge of h.p.'s Weighing pros and cons of five basic setup types. In aeroponics, could the salt and nutrient build up on sprayer nozzles be reduced or eliminated by possibly not submersing them in the solution but have the nozzle pump water from an outside source. Nozzle would be isolated inside of ex..storage container with water fed from another???
Thank you for your response. I have been fascinated with h.p since i was in 8th grade now being 26 I am ready to make it real.. everyone has the own personal pref, when it comes to there setup what would you recommend. I'm leaning towards the N.F.T. method or aeroponics. Keeping in mind nozzle buildup. It doesn't require power supplies for many different air pumps. a.p. sounds good due to low water consumption and ph isn't as much of a problem. tell me you thoughts

Matt McLennan has always played the odds. At 17, the Papua New Guinea native signed up for a summer camp in Australia because he heard there were nine girls to every boy. The strategy worked, sort of: He met Monika, who would eventually become his wife, though it took him nearly a decade to reach that goal.
"I had to wait my turn," says the father of three.
Such lessons in great odds, patience, and humility have served him well. McLennan, 43, is now part of the team that took over First Eagle Global (ticker: SGENX) when famed investor Jean-Marie Eveillard retired in 2009.
McLennan and his team are following in the footsteps of Jean-Marie Eveillard. Jordan Hollender for Barron's
McLennan manages the fund along with Abhay Deshpande and Kimball Brooker, the team handpicked by Eveillard, who eschewed marquee names in lieu of managers who matched his patient approach, says Morningstar analyst Bridget Hughes. Eveillard remains senior advisor to First Eagle funds, and the team has continued his strict value orientation along with an eye on the big picture. Right now that means gold -- which, at more than 5% of the portfolio, is the fund's largest holding -- as a potential hedge against inflation. The 137 stocks in the fund also are little-changed from when Eveillard ran it, and annual turnover is just 11%, on average. The stocks are primarily companies that have pricing power because they produce a scarce asset. That gives these businesses a resilience during economic downturns.
Like Eveillard, who famously avoided the technology boom of the late 1990s and the financial bubble 10 years later -- the fund's 15-year record beats 99% of its peers -- the new team has been willing to stay out of big chunks of the market, including Brazil, Russia, India, and China, known as the BRICs. That has led to the fund holding a higher-than-usual amount of cash, now 18% of assets.
"It can be lonely, but we are not followers. We plant seeds and watch the plant grow," McLennan says.
The fund's high cash position and large stake in gold have kept it behind in the past year, up 8.7%, while its benchmark, the MSCI World Index, rose 12.2%. Still, the $37 billion fund, which has grown 89% in the past three years, trounced its peers in the world-allocation category, and it has beaten the benchmark, as well. It returned an 8.8% annualized return over the past three years, versus the category's 6.3% rise.
The team travels to companies all over the world, but McLennan says the approach is very document-driven, because the true story about a company is usually found in the footnotes and cash-flow statements. The managers want to see free cash flow rising and sustainable, and conservative liabilities. When valuing the enterprise, they give credit for surplus cash and penalties for debt and other liabilities. The process leads them to companies with strong balance sheets and modest valuations.
The fund is global, which means their process can direct them to companies in the U.S.; right now, the portfolio has 34% of its assets in U.S. stocks. One example is Microsoft MSFT -0.602990834539315% Microsoft Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD41.21 -0.25 -0.602990834539315% /Date(1427403600761-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 37072058 AFTER HOURS USD41.26 0.05 0.12132977432661975% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 423569 P/E Ratio 16.484 Market Cap 340128925067.335 Dividend Yield 3.00897840330017% Rev. per Employee 728656 More quote details and news » (MSFT), which has had weak earnings recently. But McLennan thinks its low debt, net cash, and 35% operating margins give it plenty of cushion to weather a soft PC market. "Just like Coke didn't have to invent Burgundy wine or hot coffee, Microsoft doesn't need to invent every new category of software," McLennan says. "It's enough for Coke to dominate sugared water, and for Microsoft to have a dominant position in operating systems, office applications, and server software."
Much of Microsoft's revenue comes from business, since entire information-technology departments are built around its software. Its revenue is recurring, and free cash flow has been rising. Plus, McLennan says it has more than doubled operating profits in the past decade and bought back approximately 20% of the stock in the past half-dozen years.

A more obscure pick is Fanuc 6954.to -1.356443104747551% Fanuc Corp. Japan: Tokyo JPY26180 -360 -1.356443104747551% /Date(1427486400000-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 20m) : 1506600 P/E Ratio 27.945603210862277 Market Cap 6457144105000 Dividend Yield 1.148281130634072% Rev. per Employee 118885000 More quote details and news » (6954.Japan). Although most American cars are painted by Fanuc robots, you probably haven't heard of the Japan-based manufacturing company that dominates the market for servo motors and related factory-automation controllers, robotics, and related machine tools.
But like Microsoft, says McLennan, Fanuc has more than doubled operating profits over the past decade, and repurchased about 10% of its stock in the past six years. "It has net cash on the balance sheet and supports 35% operating margins through the business cycle, giving it great resilience," he says. Fanuc has an advantage in everything from precision, "intelligence," and reliability to artificial vision.
ANOTHER COMPANY THAT has made the most of scarcity is Mitsubishi Estate 8802.to -0.658578856152513% Mitsubishi Estate Co. Ltd. Japan: Tokyo JPY2866 -19 -0.658578856152513% /Date(1427486400000-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 20m) : 5735000 P/E Ratio 38.845215505557064 Market Cap 4064130431000 Dividend Yield 0.418702023726448% Rev. per Employee 136762000 More quote details and news » (8802.Japan), which owns much of the Marunouchi, Tokyo's commercial district, wedged between Tokyo station and the Imperial Palace. Since there is no way to expand outward, buildings must expand upward.
"The economics of building up is much more effective than building a new building. They are getting approximately twice the incremental returns on capital relative to the capitalization rate of 4% for such buildings in the private market," he says, adding that the company not only is a unique asset but has the potential to grow intrinsic value.
"The [2011] earthquake created a flight to quality, and their buildings are very well built," he says.

For many fourth grade students, the thought of enduring a three-day-long statewide math exam gives them more jitters than a trip to the dentist. Most would rather wash dishes every night than endure this dreaded test. Yet for any fourth grade student attending a New York public school, this test is mandatory. The right test taking strategies, however, can help put this anxiety to rest.
The New York State Fourth Grade Mathematics exam, given over a three-day period from March 6-8, helps determine whether students are meeting grade level learning standards. The test consists of three types of questions: multiple choice, short open-ended, and long open-ended. These questions are designed to test students' content abilities and thinking skills. To perform well on this exam, students should become comfortable with the format of this test and the different types of questions that may be asked. They can then learn strategies for how to best solve each of these kinds of questions. In particular, students may see the following problems on the test: Representation, Communication, Reasoning and Proof, and Problem Solving.Representation Representation problems typically involve pictures, charts, graphs, figures, or patterns. They ask students to create a drawing to describe a mathematical concept or to choose a drawing from a series of choices which best represents a given concept. To best solve these problems, students must learn to identify key words. Certain key words, such as 'draw', 'create', 'label', and 'shade', help students identify Representation problems. An example may be as follows:Jack's garden is a rectangle that is 40 feet long and 65 feet wide. Draw a rectangle to represent the garden. Label the length of each side.The student should underline the word draw, since that is the key word which indicates that this problem requires the student to draw a representation of the figure.Communication Communication problems ask students to communicate an idea or concept. They may ask a student to explain how they came up with an answer or why their answer must be true. Students may be asked to express a mathematical concept in their own words using proper mathematical terminology. To develop proficiency with these types of problems, students should practice communicating mathematical ideas in their own words prior to the test. A sample problem may be as follows:
Two lines are perpendicular. What must be true about them?
To properly answer this question, students must be able to express the definition of perpendicular lines in their own words and relay the properties associated with this mathematical concept. The more practice expressing different concepts, the easier these questions will be.Reasoning and Proof Reasoning and Proof problems involve logical thinking. Students must use reasoning skills to prove whether a given statement is true or false. For example:
Richard makes 24 pounds of peanut brittle. He decides to put an equal amount of brittle into 5 boxes. He thinks each box will hold 5 pounds. Is his estimation reasonable? Explain why or why not. A good strategy for answering Reasoning and Proof questions is to begin with a general statement. This statement should briefly describe the answer, such as "Richard's estimation is reasonable." Next, students should provide evidence of their answer. For example, "24 rounds up to 25, and 25 divided by 5 is 5. Thus, Richard's estimation is likely to be true." Parents can give students sample questions like this one and can replace the numbers in each problem for extra practice.Problem Solving Problem Solving questions ask students to analyze a scenario and come up with a solution. They involve more than just recalling a concept or crunching numbers. Rather, students must think, plan, and solve. Specifically, students should use the ORAS strategy, as detailed below:Operation: Students should decide if the problem requires a specific operation or a combination of a few operations. For example, the problem may require addition, multiplication, or both. Students should indicate the relevant operation(s) with the proper symbol(s).Relevant Information: Students should underline any numbers that are relevant to solving the problem. They should also cross out any numbers that are irrelevant to solving the problem.Arithmetic Sentence: Students should create an arithmetic sentence that can be used to solve the problem.Solution Sentence: Students should come up with a solution to the problem as a full sentence in their minds. For example:Lisa and her two friends went to a candy store. The price of gummy bears was $3 per pound, the price of chocolate squares was $5 per pound, and the price of butterscotch candies was $2.50 per pound. Each of them wanted two pounds of gummy bears and two pounds of chocolate squares. In total, they had $50. How much money did they have left over for drinks after purchasing their candy?Students should use the ORAS strategy detailed above to solve this problem. They should make sure to cross out the $2.50, a number that is irrelevant to solving the problem. Parents can create similar problems to the one detailed above and create four lines underneath each problem for each step in the ORAS strategy, so that students can practice problem solving at home. The fourth grade mathematics test can indeed cause anxiety and lead to sleepless nights. Yet the right strategies and lots of practice can help ease these fears and make the test day more welcoming.EMILY LEVY is the director of EBL Coaching, which offers one-on-one tutoring, small group programs, and summer sessions for academic skills development.

The Aeryon HDZoom30 imaging payload sets a new standard for clarity and precision in unmanned aerial imagery, enabling operators of the Aeryon SkyRanger sUAS to capture high quality video and still images at more than 1000 ft. (300 m) from their target. The Aeryon HDZoom30 makes it possible for ground crews to recognize a face, read a license plate or determine the thread count on a bolt at safe stand-off distances.
Waterloo, ON – February 23, 2015 - Aeryon Labs Inc., the premier manufacturer of VTOL small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) today introduced the Aeryon HDZoom30 imaging payload. The Aeryon HDZoom30 payload sets a new standard for aerial image capture, delivering capabilities including:
Aeryon Labs Inc., together with Pix4D and PUC University of Rio de Janeiro, reconstructed the first accurate 3D model of Brazil's most important monument: the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro. Using the Aeryon UAV platform for data acquisition and Pix4D's image processing software for the 3D reconstruction, the project team surmounted various challenges to acquire the high-resolution images needed for the model.
Waterloo, ON – February 18, 2015 – The Christ the Redeemer statue is Brazil's most important monument. Located atop the 700 meter Corcovado Mountain the Christ statue towers over Rio de Janeiro, at 38 meters of height and with a 28 meter arm span. Accurate 3D reconstruction has not been possible until today because technologies, such as LiDAR, cannot scan the complete statue due to its size, location, difficult accessibility and challenging weather conditions. All previous 3D models and replicas of the statue have been designed by hand.
The FAA has granted VDOS Global one of the first exemptions to perform flare stack inspections, for their US-based Oil and Gas clients, using the Aeryon SkyRanger.
Waterloo, ON – December 10, 2014 – Aeryon Labs Inc. announced today that VDOS Global LLC has received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for Section 333 Exemption naming the Aeryon SkyRanger as the small Unmanned Aerial System (sUAS) that will be deployed to provide flare stack and infrastructure inspections for their oil & gas clients in the United States.
"Today's announcement by the FAA is extremely positive for VDOS Global, Shell Oil and for commercial operations in general," commented Aeryon Labs President & CEO, Dave Kroetsch. "We are excited that VDOS Global is the first company, as part of the exemption process, to start conducting inspections and environmental monitoring with the Aeryon SkyRanger. Aeryon sUAS have been used in oil & gas projects for years and this shows that the market and the FAA are ready to embrace our technology on a broader scale".
Based on numerous successful trials and demonstrations with the Aeryon Scout, Unmanned Experts has added the Aeryon SkyRanger to their roster to aid in their research and evaluation of the benefits of small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) technology in a variety of public safety applications.
Waterloo, ON – December 4, 2014 – Aeryon Labs Inc. announced today that Unmanned Experts (UMEX) plans to use the Aeryon SkyRanger, in addition to the Aeryon Scout, to investigate and evaluate the benefits of sUAS technology in a number of police and fire service applications.
Aeryon Labs is recognized with two awards as part of the 2014 Ontario Export Awards – Exporter of the Year and Consumer Product & Technology
Waterloo, ON – November 26, 2014 – Aeryon Labs Inc., the premier manufacturer of small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS), is honoured to be selected as the Ontario Exporter of the Year, by the Canadian Manufactures & Exporters (CME) and Glacier Media this week. The company was chosen as a finalist in two categories, Emerging Exporter and Consumer Products & Technology. The company received the top award for the latter category, as well as Ontario Exporter of the Year.

Some jQuery plugin checks whether my form fields (text input and select) have been filled out before I can submit the form. Now I want to add default values in the fields such as "please enter your name". But if I do that, the JS plugin will validate these fields whereas in fact the user didn't enter anything in them.
I want JS NOT to validate fields containing a default value. Is it possible?

February Reading - Telling
Over water airlift missions, whether in the older propeller driven aircraft or the jet powered airlifters, involved long hours of flying. Flying from the west coast of the United States to Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii took thirteen hours in a C-124, "Old Shaky", the venerable piston driven workhorse of the 1950's and 60's. The flight from Frankfort , Germany to east coast bases involved nine hours of flying time in the C-141 Starlifter jet. The navigator had a lot to do on these legs. The pilots monitored aircraft performance and did little more than make occasional heading changes and transmit hourly position reports. Consequently, they would welcome any opportunity to break the boredom.
Before the hijacking of commercial aircraft became a problem in the late 1970's and the cockpit had to be secured, passengers were invited up into the spacious C-141 cockpit. Pilots gave them a briefing on how the airplane worked. The visitors sat in the jump seat located just behind the pilots' chairs. This scenario provided an opportunity for some aeronautical hijinks.
One routine went like this. The pilot explained the mission and extolled on the airplane's ability to do things automatically. He talked about new advances in aviation. The pilot would then say: "This aircraft will respond to voice commands. You can tell the plane what you want it to do." Then he would demonstrate. In a loud voice he would say: "AIRPLANE … TURN LEFT." Then they would sit there, neither pilot touching a flight control, as the airplane rolled into a left turn. Then the pilot would say: "AIRPLANE, TURN RIGHT" and the plane would bank back to the original heading.
The visitors did not see the navigator, who was sitting behind and to the left of the jump seat. The navigator had turned the heading reference marker knob on his compass to the left. The engaged autopilot then chased the heading reference to the left, and the airplane turned to follow the compass reference. When the pilot told the airplane to turn right, the navigator returned the heading reference back to the original heading and the auto pilot chased it again … and the airplane turned to the right.
Then the real fun began. The pilot would ask the visitor to tell the plane to turn. Usually the visitor would say "Turn left" in a soft voice. Nothing would happen. The pilot then told them that they had to use a "Command Voice". The result was often quite humorous. We had people screaming at the airplane before the navigator finally moved the heading marker and the airplane turned. The outcomes of these visits were always different. It depended on the demeanor of the visitor. Guys with big egos and shy gals were usually the most fun. Finally, we would share the joke with them and they usually left the cockpit with a smile on their face.
Another ruse went like this: The pilot would say that the airplane could sense when we reached the equal time point on an ocean crossing. This has been erroneously called "The Point of No Return" in some literature. The cockpit visitor usually would doubt this assertion. The pilot would then say something like this: "Airplane, should we continue on the McGuire AFB or return to Frankfurt ?" The panel engineer would then flip on the boost pump switch and a light on the pilot's instrument panel would illuminate to state "PRESS ON" (To indicate pressure in the system). The pilot would then confidently point at the lighted sign and say: "See that … the airplane is telling us to ' Press ON ' to McGuire." This usually brought a big grin from the visitor.
Getting the job done and having fun while doing it … that has always been the hallmark of airlift aviators! But years have now passed and voice recognition commands have become something less than fun. We encounter the technology when we try to reach someone on the telephone. A mechanical voice asks us to speak a command or press a button on our phone to complete a task. I find that now I am the one yelling in frustration. Sometimes I wonder, am I being paid back for the mischief at 35,000 feet?
It's In The Can
by Clifford N. Bohnson
For whatever reason, we seemed to be constantly on the move when I was a child. I attended at least five different elementary schools and three different high schools. Often, the moves were reasonably trivial—from the standpoint of my parents, since they were frequently just a short way from where we had lived before. But to a small child, it might as well have been across the continent. New kids; sometimes a new school—it was nearly impossible to make friends. I remember one particularly difficult day, when the move was accomplished while I was in school. I left one house in the morning, and had to return to a new one in the afternoon—and I didn't even know what the new one looked like! I was seven at the time.
When I was in seventh grade at P.S. 80, I met my nemesis, Judson. Judson was also in the seventh grade. I was eleven, but Judson—due to the short-sightedness of the school administration in deciding that a student shouldn't be promoted until he had passed his grade—Judson was fourteen.
Another boy and I were appointed the school movie monitors. This basically meant we didn't even attend class (I suspect we were appointed because we were the brightest bulbs at the school, not for our technical abilities) — we simply spent our time showing movies for whatever teachers required our services, splicing the frequently-breaking films, or repairing the equally-frequently-breaking projectors. Our base of operations was an otherwise-unused classroom. Somehow, Judson discovered this, and terrorized us there, demanding lunch money. Eventually he expanded into terrorizing me after school. Each day he would wait for me, and, in front of a crowd of jeering classmates, dump me unceremoniously into a garbage can, where I would stay sniffling as surreptitiously as possible, until Judson and his buddies had left.
Then I would have to walk home, clean myself up as quickly as possible, and rush off to catch the bus to get to the boychoir rehearsal at my church.
Now, the one unbreakable code of boyhood was that you didn't tell. Telling was squealing, and that was as unthinkable as could be. Besides, school life was a completely separate life from your after-school life, or your home life—all safely compartmentalized—and one simply did not allow any leakage between compartments.
One day, however, something snapped, and I learned something about myself—and about life. There is nothing as dangerous as a devout coward, once aroused.
Yes, I admit it: I was a devout coward. Nothing could convince me to fight back—or so I thought—until one fateful day, when something snapped. I crept out of school, trying to avoid Judson, but there he was, sneering as he lounged over to me, picked me up, and dumped me in that smelly garbage can.
And then it happened: somehow, without conscious thought, some primitive passion arose in me. I struggled out of the disgusting can, screaming epithets and curses in German (I'm not even sure where I learned some of those words!). I attacked a stunned Judson—kicking, biting, scratching, punching. Somehow I knew that he could kill me, and I no longer cared. I would die fighting.
I didn't fight a clean fight—it was down-and-dirty street fighting. I beat the tar out of that rotten bully. Judson's "friends" seemed to have changed their minds: the kids surrounding us were cheering me on.
I left Judson lying on the ground, bleeding, gasping — and considerably chastened. I never had another day of torment from him—or anyone else in that school (although I did continue to worry about reprisals until the day I graduated)!

A. The world of animals is full of interesting — and very old — terms that describe the way certain animals look. You ran into someone with a fair amount of canine knowledge, I'd say, possibly someone who has shown her dogs.
The term "gay tail" has nothing to do with your dog's gender or sexuality, or if he's neutered or not. It's "gay" in the sense of "happy," and it refers to a tail that's flying high when the dog is alert and engaged, such as when he's playing at the dog park. Specifically, it refers to a tail that's set a little higher at the point where it connects to the body, allowing the dog to carry it above the topline. If you follow the back, in other words, the tail's angle departs from the flat line and goes uphill.
In some breeds, a gay tail is considered undesirable in the show ring. If you imagine a Pointer, for example, the line of the back should be continued through the tail, to make the "bird here" point even more obvious. A perfect example can be found in the logo of the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club, which is a stylized picture of a Pointer named Sensation.
In other breeds, carrying the tail high like a flag (and even curled forward, such as in the Finnish Spitz) is either preferred or of little importance either way.
As a veterinarian, of course, I don't give much concern to how high a dog's tail is carried, or even if he has much of one at all. As long as it's wagging, I'm happy. And you should be, too.

Anyone know of a wall-hung lav that has "storage cubbies" on the sides that is reasonably priced? I have seen a few, but they are upwards of $400. I am really wanting to use a wall-hung to maximize space, but have not come across any that look good and are cheap/reasonable. Here's a link to a particular sink that is prompting this question...
I think you may need to research a bit more and alter your "reasonable" price range.
$400 is cheeeeeap for a vanity.
This is not a mainstream setup, so you are looking at less choice which means higher prices.
I think IKEA is going to be YOUR best option for this look and low price.
Thanks for the tip, I'll check out what they have! I am looking for just the sink, no vanity cabinet.
Here is a link that might be useful: Wall-hung sink w/ storage, no vanity
any wall mount sink will work - they can be had at the box stores for as little as $79.

Report: Arizona Cardinals' Javarris James arrested again
Javarris James just can't seem to avoid trouble.
According to profootballtalk.com, the Cardinals' running back was arrested once again.
James was arrested in Lee County, Florida on Thursday for failing to appear for his November 13 court date. He was arrested back in 2011 for marijuana possession.
Most recently, the Cardinals' running back was suspended four games after violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
James was on the Cardinals' injured reserve list for all of the 2012 campaign. He is an exclusive rights free agent this offseason.
