World Vegan Day is Nov. 1, celebrating the founding of The Vegan Society in November 1944.

Although the number of vegan Americans has grown over the years, it's still a small group, representing just 2% of the adult population, according to a 2012 Gallup study.

We can understand why.

In terms of food, a vegan is someone who does not eat anything that comes from an animal. That includes meat, fish, eggs, milk and other dairy products, and even honey (which is made by bees). It also eliminates any animal-derived products like gelatin, which can come from the hides, tissues, or bones of cows and pigs.

But that doesn't mean a vegan's diet has to be limited to fruits, vegetables, and tofu. These traditionally health-conscious folk can indulge in brand name foods, too. 

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has compiled a list of "accidentally vegan" foods, which includes cookies, chips, and salad dressings. These products may not be great for your waistline, but you can breathe easy knowing no animals were harmed in the process.

Duncan Hines Creamy Home-Style Frosting (Classic Vanilla)

Other than a possible issue with how sugar is processed, many Duncan Hines frosting flavors are a-ok for vegans.

Sugar is an issue for some vegans because some refined sugar is processed with animal bone char, although this is not stated as an ingredient in sugar. 

The classic vanilla frosting flavor contains sugar, vegetable oil, water, and corn syrup, but no milk products. On the other hand, vegans generally have to be wary of homemade frostings, which may contain butter, milk, or heavy cream.

Oreos

Milk's favorite cookie is surprisingly safe for vegans. The classic creme filling isn't made with milk products.

Fritos

Classic Fritos contain just three ingredients: corn, corn oil, and salt. 

Earlier this week, The Wall Street Journal put on its very first tech conference, called WSJD Live.

It was held at the Montage Resort in Laguna Beach, California.

Speakers included Apple CEO Tim Cook, Jack Ma from Alibaba, former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, and Avatar director James Cameron.

A couple hundred people attended.

Other than speakers and a few reporters (like us), almost all of the attendees paid $5,000 to go.

Is going to one of these things worth that kind of money?

Would you spend $5,000 to go to a resort in Southern California and hang out with a bunch of tech executives for three days?

My trip to WSJD Live started early in the morning on Monday.

I had a 8:30 a.m. flight to catch out of Newark.

During the long flight, I checked out the WSJD Live app.

Tom Cruise has listed his sprawling 298-acre estate in Telluride, Colo. for $59 million, according to The Wall Street Journal.

While $59 million seems like a hefty price tag, this property is expansive. The gated estate not only has a 10,000-square-foot main house with four bedrooms, a gym, recreation room, and library, but a 1,600-square-foot guesthouse with three other bedrooms as well.

There’s also a sports court for tennis, basketball, or ice hockey, and a private trail system with access to and views of the 14,000-foot mountains in the distance.

Sounds simply gorgeous.

Telluride Sotheby’s Real Estate listing agent Bill Fandel told WSJ that Cruise helped design and construct the stone and cedar home, which was completed in 1994.

In addition to being a destination in and of itself, the Cruise home is a 12-minute drive from downtown Telluride, Colo., as well as close to Telluride Ski Resort, one of the best in the world.

Welcome to Tom Cruise's Telluride estate in Colorado.

The main home has over 10,000 square feet of space and four bedrooms, a gym, recreation room, and library.

It sits on 298 acres of land.

Ebola is a terrible disease, and in West Africa, where the virus is still spreading rapidly, things are worse than ever.

Even though there is no cure for Ebola, it's important to remember that people do survive. With better access to treatment, especially in the earliest stages of the disease, many more will live through the epidemic.

Survivors face challenges of their own. They are frequently shunned by communities that fear Ebola, and many have lost family and friends to the virus.

But survivors might also be the key to stopping Ebola.

Experimental treatments using antibodies from survivors' blood will soon be available and may help others live through the ordeal. Some patients have already receive blood transfusions from survivors. That same blood could play an important role in vaccine development.

Because survivors are immune to the virus once they have fought it off, some of those who overcome Ebola are also joining the fight against the disease by training as healthcare workers. They will be essential in the weeks and months to come.

We have collected some images that show both the joy of those who survive and their sadness as they reflect on the loved ones they have lost.

Jeremra Cooper, 16, wipes sweat from his face. The eighth grader lost six family members to Ebola but recovered from the disease after spending a month in a Doctors Without Borders (MSF) center in Liberia.

In this photo, a group of survivors attend a ceremony celebrating their discharge from a clinic in Freetown, Sierra Leone.

Varney Taylor, 26, thinks he got sick originally while carrying his aunt's body after she succumbed to Ebola in Liberia.

Veganism is catching on. So much so that Chipotle even started cashing in on the trendy diet with its tofu-based sofritas. 

Ever since celebrity endorsements started pouring out about animal-product-free dining almost a decade ago, Los Angeles has been seen as the epicenter of the movement. 

America's first vegan restaurant even opened on Sunset Boulevard in 1969, attracting legends such as Marlon Brando and John Lennon. 

And as veganism keeps growing, the dining options just keep getting better and better.

Here are the 10 best vegan restaurants in LA, compiled by our friends at Yelp.

10. Veggie Grill

6374 Sunset Blvd.

Carnivores shouldn't shy away from Veggie Grill. Yelp users rave about their satisfying vegetarian meat, especially the chickn. 

"So, have no fear, Veggie Grill would put your meat free meal or substitute meat nightmares to rest," Yelp user Whitney P. wrote."I ordered one of the entrée salads with some sort of imitation chicken on it and my fiancé got the same but with faux steak.  Both were surprisingly amazing, but the chicken was better."

Note: Yelp's search results are based on an algorithm that is designed to provide the best results based on a number of different factors including review text, ratings, and number of reviews. Because several factors are taken into account, this is why you may see a 3.5-star restaurant with 500 reviews showing above a 4-star one with 15 reviews.

9. Un Solo Sol Kitchen

1818 E 1st St.

This small Latin restaurant has a great atmosphere with live music and excellent pupusas and tacos. 

"This place is amazing. I had a flower papusa, plantains, and a mango coconut smoothie. Everything was delicious," Yelper R.J. wrote."The papusa was homemade and fresh with salty cheese, and the mango coconut smoothie wasn't loaded up with sugar, it simply contained those two ingredients. The wait staff was very friendly."

8. Native Foods Cafe

1114 Gayley Ave

With locations across the West Coast, this restaurant has an expansive menu that includes meals like a Bistro Steak Sandwich and Chicken Run Ranch Burger.  

"Vegans are modern day tricksters. All of which I am amazed by with every visit,"Jessica Y. wrote."There is a lot of thought that goes behind the dishes to make Vegan food not only delicious, but appealing to the regular restaurant-goer. I'm seriously a meat lover, and now a vegan food lover."

Just when we thought we knew which teams were good, chaos struck the NFL in Week 8.

More than half of our top-10 from last weeks power rankings lost. Only two of them (Eagles, Chargers) lost to other top-10 teams.

Elsewhere, the Bears continued their free fall and the mighty Browns got back on track.

1. Denver Broncos (previously: 1st)

Record: 6-1

Week 8 result: 35-21 win over San Diego

One thing to know: Peyton Manning, bored with destroying opponents, went after some poor scoreboard operator.

2. Arizona Cardinals (previously: 10th)

Record: 6-1

Week 8 result: 24-20 win over Philadelphia

One thing to know: Rookie John Brown (picked 91st overall) looks like the steal of the NFL Draft.

3. New England Patriots (previously: 9th)

Record: 6-2

Week 8 result: 51-23 win over Chicago

One thing to know: Tom Brady is on fire since that disaster in Kansas City.

It could be easy to assume that those living on the streets of New York City don't own any gadgets, but that's not always the case.

Over the course of two weeks last year, we interviewed dozens of homeless people to find out what kind of consumer electronics they own — and more importantly, what they use them for.

From laptops and iPhones, to government-provided phones, it quickly became clear that many homeless people use gadgets to stay connected, search for jobs, and pursue their own creative interests.

Note: All people shown have given their permission for us to take their picture, though some requested we not show their faces.

This is Calvin, who owns both a Dell Inspiron laptop and a Samsung smartphone.

Calvin uses his phone mostly for listening to music, and if he turns down the graphics settings on his laptop, he can run most modern games. "I can run 'Oblivion' or 'Skyrim' just fine," he said.

"King" is originally from Virginia. While he has been in New York for most of his life, King is trying to change that. "I'm trying to move away as we speak," he said. "I would like to go to North Carolina."

Early mornings, high-powered meetings, and and peanut butter oatmeal, it's all par for the course in the life of Gary Kaminsky, Morgan Stanley's vice chairman of wealth management and former capital markets editor at CNBC.

Norway's prison system is known as one of the most humane in the entire world.

It may also be one of the most radical. 

"This is prison utopia,"American prison warden James Conway said in "The Norden," a made-for-TV documentary. "I don't think you can go any more liberal — other than giving the inmates the keys." The production explored Conway's experience visting Halden.

Click here to see the surprising accommodations »

The 75-acre facility tries to maintain as much normalcy as possible, an important concept in the Norwegian prison system, Jan Stromnes, deputy head of the prison, said in the documentary. That means no bars on the windows, fully equipped kitchens, and friendships between guards and inmates. 

"Every inmates in Norwegian prison are going back to the society,"Are Hoidel, Halden's director, said in another production by Gughi Fassino and Emanuela Zuccalà. "Do you want people who are angry — or people who are rehabilitated?"

Like many prisons, Halden seeks to prepare inmates for life on the outside with vocational programs: wood-working, assembly workshops, and even a recording studio.

Norway hasn't imposed the death penalty since 1979. Life sentences don't exist, putting the focus on rehabilitation instead of punishment.

The Scandinavian country has an incarceration rate of 70 per 100,000, totaling 3,571 inmates for the entire country. The US' rate is more than 10 times Norway's — 707 per 100,000, or 2,228,424 people behind bars.

At Halden, it's sometimes hard to tell the inmates and guards apart.

Texas is massive.

If the Lone Star State were its own country, it would have the 13th highest GDP in the world. 

Over the last 20 years, Texas has become an increasingly important part of the US economy. In 1995, it made up around 6.5% of the total US GDP, and by 2014 it was over 9% (See chart).

A huge part of that growth has been attributed to Texas' bustling energy businesses.

That's why the latest dropping oil prices have rattled a few nerves. Although lower gas prices are great for the average US consumer, they could mean trouble for Texas' economy. And consequently, for the larger US economy as well.

With Texas in focus, let's take a quick look at what makes this major economy tick.

Texas wind farms could power all the homes in Utah and West Virgina.

Although Texas has the installed wind capacity of 12,755 megawatts (MW), the highest output reached was 9,674 megawatts. (A 2 megawatt turbine can provide electricity for roughly 400 homes.)

Which means that Texas produces an estimated amount of wind energy to power all the homes in West Virgina and Utah.

Texas' wind energy production was 12 times larger in 2011 than 2002.

Wind energy accounts for 76% of Texas’ renewable energy consumption, and is 10% of Texas' total energy production.

In just 3 years, Texas' population increased by an amount equal to the current populations of Vermont and Wyoming.

In 2010 Texas' population was 25,145,561. Three years later, the population was up to 26,448,193.

Wyoming's population is 582,658 and Vermont's population is 626,630.

35 North Dakotas would STILL have less businesses than Texas.

There are 2,164,852 firms in Texas.

There are 61,546 in North Dakota.

Nikon just announced the winners of its Small World Photography contest.

These images reveal the striking elegance of the tiny things we might come across in our daily lives but never notice.

Panamanian Rogelio Moreno won first place for his image of a miniscule freshwater creature known as the rotifer. Moreno captured the tiny critter as it was sweeping food into its open mouth — a chance event.

"When you see that movement, you fall in love," Moreno said.

"I hope now it can inspire others as much as it has inspired me – to learn about science, to look closely and notice something truly amazing," added Moreno.

We've also included a selection of honorable mentions and images of distinction.

First-place winner Rogelio Moreno of Panama captured this image of a tiny heart-shaped freshwater creature known as a rotifer as it opens its mouth to sweep food inside. The name rotifer comes from a Latin word meaning ‘wheel-bearer’ — when in motion, their open mouths resemble a spinning wheel (even though they are not in fact spinning). It has been magnified 40 times.

Charles Krebs took this shot of a colorful jewel beetle carapace near the eye, magnified 45 times.

Noah Fram-Schwartz, an American from Greenwich, Conn. captured this shot of a pair of creepy-looking jumping spider eyes, magnified 20 times. Jumping spiders are known to have some of the highest-quality vision among arthropods. Awesome, yet terrifying.

The 39th floor of the legendary Pierre Hotel is available for extended stay for the first time.

At $500,000 per month it is New York City’s priciest rental listing, according to The Wall Street Journal. 

As part of the new Pierre Hotel Residences program, interested tenants can sign a lease for as little as 30 days, or as long as they need. 

This program will meet a strong demand for large apartments with flexible lease terms, according to Therese Bateman of Town Fifth Avenue. 

“It’s hard to find a six-bedroom apartment with that kind of flexibility,” she told The Wall Street Journal. 

But the best part of living in this swanky hotel has to be the many luxury services The Pierre offers. Guests are given complete access to the butler service, pet pampering, twice daily maid service, and the hotel’s chauffeur-driven Jaguar. 

You would never have to lift a finger.

Bateman and Andres Perea-Garzon of Town Fifth Avenue have the listing. 

Welcome to the legendary Pierre Hotel, located in New York's Upper East Side. Former permanent residents of The Pierre include Elizabeth Taylor and Yves Saint-Laurent.

The rental offers all of the services of a luxury five-star hotel, including a 24/7 concierge service.

The property consists of the hotel’s two-bedroom Presidential Suite and several other hotel rooms.

Nonprofit organization TED launched in 1984 with a mission to present ideas worth sharing.

It has since become a cultural phenomenon, bringing together thought leaders from around the globe to give short, 18-minute talks about ideas that could change the world.

Of the more than 1,800 TED Talks, which have been viewed a total of 2.5 billion times across all platforms, a few have risen to the top. The following 20 talks are the most popular ever on Ted.com.

This is an update of an article written by Samuel Blackstone and Aimee Groth.

20. Keith Barry hacks the most complex thing in nature, the human brain.

Views: 8 million

Keith Barry is well known in Europe for his mind-blowing (literally) stunts. Some call him a magician, others call him a brain hacker. Whatever the name, Barry entertains with "brain magic," composing routines that exploit the human mind's loopholes and bugs. The effect is a revealing look into the complex software between our ears. 

19. David Blaine explains how he held his breath underwater for 17 minutes.

Views: 8.5 million

Magician David Blaine reveals how he hit this world record and why he chooses to put his life on the line to entertain audiences. When he decided to see how long he could hold his breath, for example, a surgeon told him anything longer than six minutes would risk serious brain damage. "So, I took that as a challenge," Blaine says.

18. Cameron Russell describes what it's really like to be a supermodel.

Views: 8.5 million

The Victoria Secret underwear model knows that she "won a genetic lottery," but she also admits that she is insecure, since she has to think about what she looks like every day. "If you ever are wondering, 'If I have thinner thighs and shinier hair, will I be happier?' you just need to meet a group of models, because they have the thinnest thighs and the shiniest hair and the coolest clothes, and they're the most physically insecure women probably on the planet."

When the US withdrew its last troops from Iraq in 2011, Al Qaeda in Iraq had been defeated and one of the Middle East's most troubled countries had the chance to carve out a normal existence for itself.

Three years later it had all fallen apart.

Al Qaeda in Iraq turned into ISIS, seized Iraq's second-largest city, took over large sections of Iraq and neighboring Syria, and triggered a full-on regional crisis. 

Between the divisively sectarian policies of former Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and the chaos in neighboring Syria, al-Qaeda in Iraq quickly went from a broken organization operating at the fringes of society to a major military threat.

To make sense of the meteoric rise of ISIS, Frontline, PBS's award-winning news documentary series, produced an in-depth look at the group's ascendancy. Here's what they found about the rise of a jihadist group that has become one of the most consequential players in the Middle East.

The rise of ISIS in Iraq would not have been possible without the sectarian policies of former Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki, a Shi'ite who used strong-armed tactics to rule a highly diverse country.

As soon as the US completed the withdrawal of troops from Iraq, Maliki attempted to arrest his Sunni Vice President, Tariq al-Hashimi. Hashimi's security guards were reportedly tortured until they confessed to charges of terrorism on video.

Hashimi fled Iraq, where he was convicted in absentia and sentenced to death. Meanwhile, Maliki continued to arrest thousands of Sunnis on dubious charges. Shia militias also carried out extrajudicial executions of Sunnis throughout Baghdad.

The balance of power in the Middle East is in disarray: A three-year civil war has torn apart Syria and opened up a vacuum for the rise of the Islamic State group; Sunni powers led by Saudi Arabia continue to face off against Shi'ite powers led by Iran; other countries are reeling from uprisings in the Arab Spring; and foreign powers are all taking sides.

Faced with this tense paradigm, every country in the region is building up its own military.

Jump to the rankings »

Indeed, four of the five fastest-growing defense markets in 2013 were in the Middle East, led by Oman — up 115% in a year — and Saudi Arabia — up 300% in a decade — according to IHS Jane's.

We have analyzed each country to rank the most powerful militaries in the Middle East. This ranking does not count foreign powers like the US or their support, though we have noted important alliances. After looking over state militaries, we also profiled (but did not rank) some of the increasingly powerful non-state military groups.

The ranking is based on a holistic assessment of the militaries' operational capabilities and hardware, based on our research and on interviews with Patrick Megahan, an expert from the Foundation of Defense of Democracies' Military Edge project, and Chris Harmer, senior naval analyst at the Institute for the Study of War.

Some countries with large yet incapable militaries rank low on the list; some smaller and technologically advanced militaries from stable states rank fairly high.

Others present analytical challenges that are difficult to get around in a ranking format. For instance, Egypt has an enormous military with little in the way of a recent battlefield record. Syria's military is diminished by three years of war, but it has been able to fulfill the Assad regime's narrow battlefield objectives and field an operational air force.

No ranking will be absolutely exact. But here's our idea of where things stand in one of the world's least-predictable regions.

No. 15 Yemen

$1.4 billion defense budget
66,700 active frontline personnel
1,260 tanks
181 aircraft

Yemen's military has struggled in the face of an onslaught from the Houthi rebel movement, which captured the Ministry of Defense's headquarters in the capital city of Sa'ana during a September 2014 offensive. Yemen has all sorts of other problems on its hands as well, like the presence of a major Al Qaeda franchise and one of the highest rates of gun ownership on earth. 

Like a few other countries in this ranking, Yemen is ruled by a government that doesn't really control its own territory, a fact that negates much of the advantage the country might derive from its fairly large conventional military. It's a collapsed state with an outdated arsenal.

The remains of Yemen's hobbled government have also joined up with the Houthi rebels to fight Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. This is actually another sign of the state's weakness. It took a motivated and organized non-state sectarian militant group to confront Yemen's Al Qaeda franchise, something the uniform military hasn't been able or willing to do.

Key allies: Yemen has had a longstanding, if sometimes uneasy, security partnership with the US and allows the US to use armed drones to go after Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula on its territory.

No. 14 Lebanon

$1.7 billion defense budget
131,100 active frontline personnel
318 tanks
57 aircraft

The Lebanese Armed Forces is an all-volunteer force, having ended compulsory military service as of February 2007. Historically, the Lebanese military was kept small due to internal disagreements among the various religious groups within the country. During Lebanon's 15-year civil war, a national military effectively ceased functioning as the country was divided between Israeli, Syrian, UN, and militia zones of control. 

Since the Lebanese civil war, the Lebanese military has focused mainly on anti-terrorist and peacekeeping activities within the country. The military has been unable and unwilling to disarm the militant group Hezbollah, which is an even more capable fighting force than the Lebanese army. 

In March the International Support Group for Lebanon pledged $17.8 million to help the country modernize its military, while Saudi Arabia gave a $3 billion grant.

Currently, Lebanon's Special Forces is unevenly equipped, and the country lacks any fixed-wing aircraft. 

It is an incoherent force in a divided country, without much heavy equipment and with only notional control. "They're really far behind," Megahan, a research associate for military affairs at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and an analyst for its Military Edge project, told Business Insider.

Key allies: Saudi Arabia and the US, which also provides military aid.

Due to its progressive attitude and proximity to Silicon Valley, the Bay Area is ripe for hosting cool, new businesses.

From a pirate supply store to bacon-centric eats we found the 21 most intriguing and innovative new businesses in San Francisco. We looked for businesses that opened in the last five years that bring something new to the San Francisco scene.

The market has everything you could want in a grocery store: It host events, has in-store tastings, seasonal offerings, prepared foods — a very wide selection to meet your shopping needs. 

To mark the 70th anniversary of its liberation from fascism, Rome has reopened one of the bunkers built for Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. 

A series of bunkers were built under the Italian capital during World War II to provide shelter for bureaucrats and party leaders.

Bunker di Roma, a local website, has cataloged up to 12 different bunkers beneath the city and campaigned for their refurbishment so that tourists can visit them. 

Many of the bunkers, including Mussolini's personal air raid shelter, have not been entered since the end of the war, according to Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. 

Mussolini was leader of the Italian fascist movement from 1923 to 1943. 

The bunker is located below Villa Torlonia, the Roman residence of Mussolini since 1922. It's just a short walk from the Colosseum.

The shelter could house up to 15 people in case of intense bombardment. It was never used, as Mussolini was ousted by his own private council on Sept. 8, 1943.

The bunker was outfitted with the most cutting-edge technologies of the time. It was designed to protect against a gas attack, as the sign in this picture says.
