Northwestern tops list of most vegan-friendly colleges

EVANSTON - For the second consecutive year, Northwestern University has been selected by peta2, an affiliate of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, as the most vegan-friendly college in the small U.S. schools category.

The award comes after an online student vote and independent assessment of the quality and quantity of vegan dining options offered by nuCusine, the University's dining service contractor operated by Sodexo, Inc., a release from Northwestern said.

"The dining services department reports that between 35 and 55 percent of students select a vegetarian or vegan entrée every day," the peta2 assessment said. "With options such as tofu French toast, country-fried seitan steak with vegan mashed potatoes and vegan curried tofu with jasmine rice, it's easy to see why."

Also cited was Northwestern's participation in "Meatless Monday," a weekly program that encourages all students to choose a non-meat entrée one day per week.

"We are thrilled to be recognized this way for the second year in a row," Richard Thomas, executive director of Norris University Center and Student Auxiliary Services, said. "The population of students who prefer to eat vegan grows each year so we need to ensure our food program meets their needs."

"Vegan options are not just for those who identify as vegan," Thomas said, praising the nuCuisine culinary team for its work in making Northwestern vegan friendly. "The culinary team does a great job of creating vegan options that appeal to everyone."

Disapproving Faces: Not Everybody Will Like You

Image
Not everybody we meet will like us and it is ok to move into acceptance rather than trying to make somebody like you. It is not necessarily a pleasant experience, but there will be times in our lives when we come across people who do not like us. As we know, like attracts like, so usually when they don't like us it is because they are not like us. Rather than taking it personally, we can let them be who they are, accepting that each of us is allowed to have different perspectives and opinions. When we give others that freedom, we claim it for ourselves as well, releasing ourselves from the need for their approval so we can devote our energy toward more rewarding pursuits. While approval from others is a nice feeling, when we come to depend on it we may lose our way on our own path. There are those who will not like us no matter what we do, but that doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with us. Each of us has our own filters built from our experiences over time. The...

Azurite and malachite

Image
by The Online Jeweller Magazine Article by Jimmy Reinard Azurite and malachite are both crystals formed by the weathering process that breaks down natural copper ore deposits. Azurite is a striking brilliant blue colour, with a hardness of around 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale as well as a specific gravity of around 3.77 to 3.89 and a refractive index of 1.655-1.909. Azurite is mined for use in paint pigments, often producing a range of blues dependent on the mineral's natural color.Malachite is the Greek translation of moloche, meaning mallow, due to its color.Unfortunately, azurite is unstable in most conditions and loses its brilliant blue color over time or is replaced by its more stable cousin, malachite. Malachite shares the same properties as azurite but appears as a vibrant green mineral. Unlike Azurite, malachite does not require the special handling making it more suitable for use in jewelry but i...
