Most reported occupational illnesses are repeated-trauma disorders
August 13, 1999
In 1996, repeated-trauma disorders accounted for close to two-thirds of reported occupational illnesses. The proportion of occupational illnesses due to repeated trauma was nearly twice as high as in 1986.
[Chart data—TXT]
Disorders associated with repeated trauma were responsible for 64 percent of job-related illnesses in 1996, up from 33 percent ten years earlier. In both years, repeated-trauma disorders were the most common type of occupational illness. Examples of disorders associated with repeated trauma are conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, noise-induced hearing loss, and bursitis.
Skin diseases were the second most prevalent type of job-related illness in 1986 and 1996. However, they accounted for a much smaller proportion of illnesses in the latter year (13 percent) than in the earlier year (30 percent).
These data are a product of the BLS Safety and Health Statistics Program. Additional information is available from Occupational Injuries and Illnesses: Counts, Rates, and Characteristics, 1996 (BLS Bulletin 2512). Occupational illnesses are any abnormal condition or disorder, other than one resulting from an occupational injury, caused by exposure to factors associated with employment. An occupational injury is an injury such as a cut that arises from a single instantaneous exposure in the work environment.

I'm not sure that I truly get into a holiday state of mind each December until DJ Riko releases his annual Mixmas compilation, a blend of seasonal cheer, novelty and desconstruction that only a savvy crate-digger and platter-spinner could produce.
But this year, DJ Riko's given me a double-shot of joy: his 2012 Mixmas includes a track from "Christmas With the Ghostly Trio," a 1980s delight that I once owned on cassette. Riko nestles the Trio's saxy take on "Angels We Have Heard on High" between Devo's "Merry Something to You" and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes' "Hava Nagila (Christmas Arrangement)," followed by the Nat King Cole rarity "Mrs. Santa Claus." »Read Full Blog Post

A glorious blue sky extends over the snow-covered peaks of the mountains and makes you feel like heading into the snow. So what makes a perfect winter family holiday?
The Silberregion Karwendel provides an abundance of opportunities for a family holiday. Snow in the winter is something which is really very special to children. Snowball fights, playing in the snow, building snowmen and igloos and roaring down the slopes - these are without doubt the most popular past-times for children during a winter holiday with the family. However, a fun family holiday is one where everyone gets to do what they like best. In Silberregion Karwendel, family-friendly ski areas invite you to go skiing, often right from your doorstep, on hundreds of kilometres of pistes.

Now I want to show you how to do acrylic cutting whereas opposed to glass cutting. When you order your acrylic they will offer it to you two different ways. It's the same product, but they will ask you if you wanted with paper or film. And I typically ask for paper for a couple of reasons. It seems to be a better adhered, which provides greater protection than the film does. The film tends to peel up at the edge, so if I have usable scrap, it's not as well protected in the studio. So we're going to score acrylic based on paper packaging.
The first thing you need to do is remove the paper from the packaging, you want to score an unprotected surface. Now the tool we're going to use for the scoring is this little cutter right here. You can see it has a hook shaped blade and what that does is that little hook, we will actually put that on the surface of the acrylic and draw it towards yourself, and that hook will allow it score pretty deeply with each pass. Unlike glass, acrylic you typically score two, maybe use as many as four times, making a deeper score for a cleaner break.
It's not about the molecular vibration like glass is. So I'm going to quickly remove the paper covering here, and you just reach up, find the corner that's loose--and like the glass, I'm going to glove up just to protect myself. The edges of this acrylic are very sharp, and like glass you can give yourself a pretty serious cut with them. So I'm going to glove up and remove the paper, and just pull it towards myself.
One thing too, you want to keep in mind, see how I am kind of rolling this up on top of itself. The surface of this is sticky, it does have adhesive on it, and while it leaves the Plexiglass clean when we remove it, you have got to remember it's a sticky surface, and you don't want to allow that to be anywhere near any of the artwork in your studio. So by rolling like this, I have kind of protected that stickiness and then I'm just going to dispose of it immediately. So now we have exposed one side of the acrylic here. And like I did when cutting the glass, I can use the production stop.
But I need to allow a slight offset for the thickness of the blade. Now this blade doesn't have near the offset that the glass cutter does. It's just about a ooch. So to cut it down on my 12-inch dimension, I'm going to set my production stop at 12 and a ooch. A notch is about 1/32 of an inch. Then I'm going to line it up and make sure it's square. And then I'm going to position the cutter so that that hook digs into the acrylic. And I'm going to apply a reasonable amount of pressure.
And you can see little ribbons of acrylic coming off as I make the score. Let me go ahead and give it one more. And then I'm going to inspect it just take a quick look to see if it looks like it's deep enough, and it's clean and straight, and that all looks good. So then I'm going to move that film covered piece out of the way and just slide this over here to the edge of the table. Apply a little pressure. You can see I get a real clean break.
And I'm going to take my X-Acto knife and just cut down through the backing paper. And here we have our piece of plex. Notice it's a nice clean cut. We still have the backing paper on one side to protect that, and we will leave that on there until we are ready to put it in the frame. You need to remember that this, unlike glass, this surface will scratch, so you need to take care with this. And what we're going to do now, in the next movie, we're going to make the second cut in our Plexiglass using a table saw.
The course begins with an overview of framing concepts, terms, and tools and then shows how to choose and work with the various components of a framed print: matboard, frame, glazing, wire hangers, and more. The course also examines the issues and creative options behind hanging an exhibit, whether in a gallery or in a home.
- Conversing with a framer
- Selecting a mat and a frame
- Deciding on window size
- Using a handheld or production mat cutter
- Mounting art
- Cutting glass
- Assembling frames
- Hanging photographs in groups
- Hanging photographs on different surfaces

Research the Flat Abs Myth: Women Are Supposed to be Fat
"Get ripped in the new year!" "Have the lean body of your dreams!" "Six-pack abs in 6 weeks!" "Burn fat up to 400 times faster!" Thanks to the advent of Resolution-Making Season (also known as the fitness industry's Santa) and an e-mail address that seems to be on every marketer's PR list, I've been getting a slew of "get shredded" pitches every day. The products are wildly variable - everything from mushroom pills to different exercise equipment to books - but the end goal is always the same: to help women get as lean as possible. Inevitably these pitches are all illustrated with pictures of 18-year-olds with perfectly sculpted abs. I don't even need to describe them further, because you already know exactly what I'm talking about. They're in magazines and on websites, everywhere.
But these photo (-shopped?) beauties with amazing muscle definition distract us from a very important fact: women are supposed to have fat. I'm not knocking these girls, especially because I give them mad props for putting in the work required to get those muscles, but while there is a nod to health with most fitness experts acknowledging that women shouldn't go "too low" (although that varies wildly as fitness competitors are often under 10% while most medical professionals will tell you not to go below 16-18%), people completely forget that getting as close to the minimum of the healthy range as possible is not the same when it comes to health as being a few percentage points higher. And of course there is such a thing as "too fat," although if you need me to explain that to you, then clearly you don't have enough lady mags in your life. Body fat is integral to a woman's health and there is no on/off health switch; it's more a of a sliding scale with risk of death a disease increasing rapidly at both ends of the spectrum.
So if too low and too high are too bad, then what's a Goldilocks girl in our weight-obsessed world to do? Where is the sweet spot when it comes to fat? According to science, it's more than we think. Gina Kolata, a science writer for the New York Times who predominantly covers health and fitness research, blew my mind a few years ago with her book Rethinking Thin: The New Science of Weight Loss---and the Myths and Realities of Dieting (aff). Her basic premise is that we suffer from a bizarre dichotomy wherein we are told that the ideal standard for both health and beauty is as lean as possible while many Americans carry an unhealthy amount of fat. Both are as ubiquitous as they are unhealthy. While many of us can easily point out what is unhealthy, very few can identify what is healthy, because it turns out that healthy is what many of us think of as "fat."
This past week, new research published in Why Women Need Fat: How "Healthy" Food Makes Us Gain Excess Weight and the Surprising Solution to Losing It Forever (aff) written by an anthropologist and a medical doctor, adds more evidence to the debate. In an interview with Salon.com, co-author Steven Gaulin explains how "evolution shows that women's dieting beliefs aren't just unrealistic -- they're unnatural." According to the author, one of the main points of the book (which I haven't read but hope to) is to show polyunsaturated omega-6 fats like canola and corn oils for the public health hazards I believe they are. From the article:
"Gaulin says their research shows that processed omega-6 fatty acids are the precursors to endocannabinoids, making them a food that acts like marijuana in the brain telling the body, 'Store the fat you have.' And 'Eat more, I'm hungry!' He adds, 'Many studies in the U.S. and other countries show that the single best predictor of how much a woman will weigh is how much omega-6 is in her diet.'"
But the part of the interview that most fascinated me was this gem:
"Many M.D.s have bought this fallacious line that the optimal weight for women in terms of their health is what M.D.s call normal weight, a BMI between 18.5 and 25. And they have thought this to be true because women with higher BMIs exhibit a series of physiological measures that are indeed risk factors for disease in men. But they are not systematically risk factors for disease in women. If you actually look at the data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and data from studies done in other countries, the optimal weight for women who have had a kid is what doctors currently call "overweight." I'm not saying that obesity is optimal, but all the findings show that overweight women survive better than "normal" weight women." (emphasis mine)
There seems to be a paranoia in our society that if we tell women it's okay to be fatter, then suddenly all women are going to balloon up into obesity. This is especially true for women who have had children, as we are told that if we don't get back to what we weighed before we grew an entire human being inside us, then we're a failure. And a lot of women have internalized this thinking that the best way, both from an aesthetic and health standpoint, is therefore to get as low as possible and stay there. Which means we are fighting our bodies for the rest of our lives. But think for a moment what it would be like if we gave women permission to carry fat in places other than their boobs and butts and to still be seen as beautiful - not just because adult women should not have to be shaped like teenage boys but also because it's better for our health? I think that perhaps we would see less obesity because there wouldn't be such a huge gap between the ideal and the reality, and there would be less shame associated with having body fat.
There is a reason that for centuries the female ideal was closer to this:
Check out that beneath-the-belly button pooch on Venus! The full cheeks! Her fleshy thighs and arms (what's left of them anyhow - they got blown off at such an unflattering angle)! And not a clavicle in sight! She was the standard of beauty for centuries.
Even 50 years ago it was this:
Sophia Loren was considered not only one of the most beautiful women of her time but of all time. Today she'd be doing plus-sized modeling and working with a trainer 5 days a week to tone up.
But then we swung this direction, which most of us now recognize as unhealthy (I'm not commenting on this woman in particular, I don't know her from Kate Moss):
And now we have this:
The flat-as-a-board tummy. It may be healthier, but does it still represent an unrealistic and unhealthy standard? I'll admit it: I still wish my abs looked like this.
But the problem is that we may not just be driving ourselves crazy with this shift, even worse we may also be hurting our health. So what's the magic number for optimal health, happiness and beauty? 42! Kidding. I have no idea. And I may be overthinking this. Certainly there are women who are naturally very thin and are healthy just as there are women who are considered "large" who are also very healthy. I am not condemning anyone for their natural shape. What I do know is that if we put half the energy into being good as we do looking good, we would have cured cancer by now. And I say that as much as a personal indictment as I do a societal one. I freely admit that I struggle with this concept. Would I still be the size I am if being "fatter" was considered beautiful? Honestly, probably not. I'm not sure what the end is, but I think it starts by recognizing the ultra-ripped standard as being detrimental to our health just like ultra-skinny is.
Help me figure this out - What are your thoughts on this? If we suddenly reverted to the Sophia Loren standard of beauty how would you feel? People say "strong is the new skinny," but maybe we shouldn't be promoting any kind of skinny?

Joe Jonas Hits the Road in New Video 'All This Time'
Actor and singer Joe Jonas shares a peek at his life on the road as a pop star by premiering his newest video for the track "All This Time". The single is taken from the young singer's debut solo studio album "Fastlife", which was released back in October 2011.
Though the album was launched quite some time ago, the video for "All This Time" just appeared online via the former Disney actor's VEVO page. In the new clip, fans get to see the 23-year-old pop-rock star as he jumps from show to show doing rehearsals and a lot of dance numbers on stage with his band and back up dancers. In between the busy concert preparations, Jonas is also seen greeting, waving, and hugging screaming and delighted female fans who cannot seem to get enough of the Jonas Brothers member.
The upbeat video also features a good mix of raw, documentary-style footage of Jonas travelling the world to perform at different venues for his fans. The cameras also catch Jonas doing work on his music, tinkering with studio synthesizers and mixers, and then joining the parties at dance clubs.
There is of course the usual dose of meet-and-greet moments of the singer/dancer on the streets, a couple of quick montage scenes including the live audience, recording equipment, and a buff-looking dog during Jonas backstage rehearsals. All elements that make for a great road trip seem to be present in this fun-filled video.
"I think my life has been so crazy busy for the past year and a half, and I kind of wanted to show people a little bit more of what my life is about, bring them into it a little bit more, so that's been a fun experience," said Jonas to MTV news back in 2011 about his songs and solo album.

Gaiman's new book a beautiful collision of memory, mortality
If you ask me, I'll tell you that "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" is Neil Gaiman's portrait of the artist as a young man. With this book, Gaiman has crafted an achingly beautiful memoir of an imagination and a spellbinding story that sets three women at the center of everything.
If you ask me, I'll tell you that this is not only a creation myth (of imagination, of a meaningful life, of the universe), but also a wonderful fairy tale with some truly creepy moments. Set in the English countryside of Gaiman's childhood, the story's middle-aged narrator (an artist) flees a family funeral, retreating "toward a house that had not existed for decades." He ends up at the pond at the end of the lane where he first met the Hempstock women (Old Mrs. Hempstock, Ginnie and Lettie), a trinity of females who recall when "the moon was made," who can "snip fragments of time," and who are "not in the fabric of the universe," but "outside of it." »Read Full Article

Robb points finger at Swan for leak
- From: AAP
- September 17, 2010
THE federal opposition has pointed the finger of blame at the government following a decision by federal police not to investigate the leaking of confidential coalition costings during the election campaign.
A leaked Treasury analysis, published by Fairfax, debunked the size of savings the coalition had estimated from dumping Labor's national broadband network.
The Australian Federal Police, acting on a request from opposition finance spokesman Andrew Robb, said its evaluation of the incident did not identify any Commonwealth offences.
But Mr Robb said the decision was made only because a bureaucrat was not involved.
"The Australian Federal Police found that no criminal offence has been committed because whoever leaked the document was authorised to distribute such material," he said in a statement issued today.
"The only people authorised to do so is the Treasurer or one or two of his senior staff."
The coalition used the leak as reason for not submitting all its election promises and costings to Treasury under the charter of budget honesty.

Published on: 28 September 2012
Pastoralism: Research, Policy and Practice investigates extensive livestock production systems throughout the world from a variety of disciplinary perspectives across the biophysical, social and economic sciences. The journal publishes research, reviews, reports and commentaries that influence public policy on the rangelands and livestock on which pastoralists rely for their livelihoods. These studies are not applied in the traditional sense, but through publishing basic research in this field Pastoralism acts as a forum for sharing information between scientists, policy makers and practitioners, with the aim of improving the welfare of pastoralists and better conserving the environments in which they live and the livestock upon which they rely.
The journal was founded in 2009 by Roy Behnke and Carol Kerven, social anthropologists who have each worked for forty years in pastoral and rangeland research and development in many countries. Carol is the Editor-in-Chief and Roy is the Book Review editor.
Open access publishing is not without costs. Pastoralism therefore levies an article-processing charge (APC) of £865/$1355/€1105 for each article accepted for publication. Pastoralism can waive the APC for a number of articles at the discretion of the Editor-in-Chief. More information about APCs, memberships and waiver programs can be found here.
Raising domesticated livestock on extensive pastures is one of the oldest human adaptations as a system of provisioning and land use. More than 40% of the earth's land area is still used as grazing land, by peoples from the tropics to the sub-Arctic, and include ranchers, nomads and farmers. The Pastoralism Journal is the only platform focused on the extensive land use of livestock-dependent production systems, covering biophysical, policy, social, economic, technical and cultural issues.
Policies and development programmes for pastoralists and their environments need to be founded on up-to-date, factual and objective information about what is happening, why and where it is happening and on the impacts. While many development agencies publish summaries and syntheses of primary material, the Pastoralism Journal provides open access to primary material upon which syntheses can be reliably based.
All the journal's papers are free to anyone with internet access anywhere in the world, and the authorship of the journal is highly international, with 120 first authors spread across the world, affiliated to institutions in 38 different countries ranging from Argentina to Yemen.

This review is from: ADATA Premier SP600 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) ASP600S3-256GM-C
Pros: Newegg! Newgg shipping! Easy Install. Faster. than I was expecting.
Cons: I had a devil of a time finding and downloading the free Acronis migration software.
Other Thoughts: I bought this drive because it was on sale at less than 50 cents/Gbyte. Installed in a laptop computer. Boot time went from about a minute to 12 seconds. When I purchased it, reviews showed it as a middle of the road SSD. The last one I purchased was a top of the line SSD about a year ago. I am amazed at how much faster this drive is than that older one.
I was unable to locate and download the free migration software from Acronis, I finally used EaseUS TODO backup software to migrate from the HDD.
This review is from: EDIMAX EW-7128Gn N150 PCI Wireless Adapter for PC and Mac
Pros: Cheap price. Simple Installation. Plug it in, install the software. Found my network and connected with no problems. The range is decent. It is installed in a HTPC and is situated about 60 feet from my wireless router through four walls (wood frame, drywall). It is also very reliable, no dropped signals whatsoever. And decent performace, regularly pulls 100 MBPS with no problems.
We regularly watch Netflix in HD mode without any any hesitation .
Did I mention, its cheap (got it on sale for $14 at Newegg)
Cons: None. Well, yeah one I guess, it doesn't physically install itself.
Other Thoughts: I had such good luck with this product, I recently purchased two more, another sale, and free shipping. Installed one this evening, same as the first one, easy as pie. Running like a top.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: EDIMAX EW-7128Gn N150 PCI Wireless Adapter for PC and Mac
Pros: Installation was simple, I just followed the directions that came in the box. It found my wireless network and connected with absolutely no problems whatsoever.
Cons: Not really a con, but... my wireless router supports B/G/N. But I can't tell which one the EDIMAX is using (I know it's not B). But the wireless connection is faster than my Internet connection so it doesn't really matter for now.
Other Thoughts: Installation: I installed this in an HTPC that has an ASUS E35 M1-M Series Motherboard. Specifically to use for access to HD internet video, such as Netflix.
It is a solid, fast connection with no hiccups so far and its running through six walls at a distance of about 50 feet.
Performance Comparison: Previously I was using a Netgear WNDR3300 as an access point via the motherboards built in Ethernet connection, the EDIMAX has no more impact on the computer than the ethernet connection did (I disabled the ethernet connection). Wireless performance is just as good.
First impression: The external antenna is a bit on the short side. But dynamite comes in small packages, because this works admirably.
I got this on sale, plus a $10 gift certificate and free shipping for a grand total of $3.00!!!! As usual for Newegg, the packaging and shipping was excellent and super fast.

I Need Prayers for My New Journey: Veena Malik
By IANS
Published: 27th December 2013 04:46 PM
Last Updated: 27th December 2013 04:46 PM
Pakistani actress Veena Malik, who wed businessman Asad Bashir Khan Khattak here earlier this week, has thanked her well-wishers for their blessings. She seeks prayers for the new chapter in her life.
"Thank you all my friends for your good wishes. On this new journey of my life, I need your prayers and good wishes. Much love," Veena posted on her Twitter page Friday.
Veena married her family friend Asad Bashir here on Christmas. She hosted a wedding reception on the following day with her relatives and close friends in attendance.
The actress rose to popularity in India after her stint on the fourth season of reality show "Bigg Boss", but her wedding remained a hush-hush affair until news reports came out.
Ever since the news has spread, Veena has been sharing photographs of herself with her husband via microblogging site Twitter.
"You Asad Bashir complete me. I love you," Veena posted as a caption to one photograph.
Her spouse responded with a special tweet: "I love you too my princess."

Yoshi (ヨッシー Yosshī?, [jo.ɕːiː]) (English: /ˈjoʊʃi/ or /ˈjɒʃi/), once romanized as Yossy,[1][2][3] is a fictional anthropomorphic dinosaur who appears in video games published by Nintendo.[4] He debuted in Super Mario World (1990) on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System[5] as Mario and Luigi's sidekick (a role often reprised by Yoshi), and later starred in platform and puzzle games, including Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Story and Yoshi's Woolly World. Yoshi has also appeared in many of the spin-off Mario series including Mario Party, Mario Kart, and Super Smash Bros., as well as in various Mario sports titles. Yoshi belongs to the species of the same name which comes in various colors, with green being the most common.[5]
Concept and creation[edit]
Shigeru Miyamoto stated that Nintendo had wanted Mario to have a dinosaur companion ever since the first release of Super Mario Bros.; however, it was not possible because of the limitations of the NES.[7] The inspiration for Yoshi can be traced back further, to the green dragon Tamagon in the 1984 video game Devil World. Coincidentally, both are green lizards that hatch from eggs and can eat enemies with their large mouth, and also make the same noise when they hatch.[8] During the development of Super Mario Bros. 3, Miyamoto had a number of sketches around his desk, including an image of Mario riding a dinosaur. Takashi Tezuka, a Mario series developer, speculated that Miyamoto's love of horse riding as well as country and western themes influenced Yoshi's creation.[8] The concept of Mario riding a dinosaur also came from the NES video game Excitebike, which featured people riding motorcycles. He again wanted to feature Yoshi in Super Mario Bros. 3, but was still unable to.[8] Tezuka designed two power-ups (the frog suit and racoon tail) to make up for this limitation. Once the more powerful Super NES was released, Miyamoto was finally able to implement Yoshi into the series, putting Yoshi into the video game Super Mario World.[9] Yoshi proved to be popular in this debut, which caused the next game in the series, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, to focus on the Yoshi species.[7]
The version of Yoshi seen in the Super Mario Bros. film was made using a 3-foot-tall (0.91 m) animatronic dinosaur. Yoshi was designed in the film by Dave Nelson. The animatronic had nearly 200 feet of cable and hundreds of moving parts inside of it, and was controlled by nine puppeteers. The body was cable-controlled, while the head was radio-controlled. Nelson described the overall process as being "difficult."[10] The creation of Yoshi was handled by a company independent from the filmmakers.[11]
Yoshi, scientific name T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas,[12] has a variety of abilities that stand out relative to other characters in the Mario series. Yoshi has a prehensile tongue that can extend a surprising distance to grab distant objects or access otherwise out-of-reach areas. Yoshi is also capable of laying distinctive spotted eggs after swallowing objects, which can then be thrown at enemies or objects; eggs are in fact the primary "logo" of Yoshi in multiplayer games. Yoshi is also capable of forming a protective egg cocoon and rolling around. Another signature move is Yoshi's "flutter jump" (named so because of the rapid fluttering of the performer's arms and legs) which is used to hover in midair or even gain height (depending on the game). Yoshi is also a heavy user of the ground pound, dropping from the air onto targets. Yoshi's large nose unsurprisingly allows the detection of hidden collectibles as well as flowers by smell and, aside from kicks, punches and tail whips, is Yoshi's main instrument of close-range combat.
Yoshis come in a variety of colours, and generally this is solely a cosmetic difference, to indicate different individuals. However, in some games, the colour of a Yoshi provides additional abilities: in Super Mario World, red Yoshis can breathe fire, blue Yoshis have wings, and yellow Yoshis produce damaging dust clouds on landing. In other games, eating fruit changes a Yoshi's colour and provides an ability; Yoshis in Super Mario Sunshine can spit fruit juice to defeat enemies and create platforms, while those in Super Mario Galaxy 2 can use fruit to gain super speed, inflate like a balloon, or produce a platform-enabling glow. Yoshis of various colours appear often in multiplayer games as alternate choices, which may or may not have tweaked stats. Also, in Mario Tennis, Yoshi can have his color changed with the right button combination for the power-up (he rolls around in an egg and comes out in a different shade.)
In Super Mario World, Super Mario Sunshine, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and New Super Mario Bros. U, either bongos, other appropriate percussion instruments or even both are added to the level's background music whenever a player rides Yoshi. Also, in New Super Mario Bros. U, a choir is added to the level's background music whenever a player is holding a baby Yoshi. While being ridden, Yoshi acts as an extra hit point; taking damage will cause either Mario or whoever is riding Yoshi to fly off. This makes Yoshi start to panic and run around haphazardly until Yoshi is remounted or falls off a cliff.
Another distinct characteristic is the sounds Yoshi makes and while in about at least a few games up to and including Mario Party 3, New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. U, Yoshi's vocals consist of record-scratching noises for positive interactions and whistling noises for negative interactions, in most other games like Yoshi's Story, Super Smash Bros., Mario Tennis, and every other game since Super Smash Bros. Melee, Yoshi's vocals consist of high-pitched babyish squeals along with intelligible words including "Yoshi" and "Nintendo". Yoshi is voiced by Kazumi Totaka, the composer of Yoshi's Story.
Yoshi first appeared in Super Mario World as a native male dinosaur, whom Mario or Luigi could ride on to eat enemies and otherwise navigate Dinosaur Land more quickly and easily. This game spawned a prequel titled Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island for the Super NES, in which the player must control Yoshi in order to keep Baby Mario out of harm's way through the game. This led to a spin-off series of games, Yoshi's Safari for the Super NES, Yoshi's Story for the Nintendo 64, Yoshi's Universal Gravitation for the Game Boy Advance, Yoshi's New Island for the Nintendo 3DS, and a number of games for the Nintendo DS, including Yoshi Touch & Go, Yoshi's Island DS, and Super Mario 64 DS. In 2015, an original Yoshi game was released on the Wii U called Yoshi's Woolly World.
Although introduced on the Super NES in 1990, Yoshi was also the star of two self-titled games for the original NES released in '92 and '93: Yoshi and Yoshi's Cookie, respectively. Both of these games were released for the Game Boy as well. Yoshi appeared as a supporting cast member in Mario is Missing for NES, SNES, and MS-DOS in 1993.[13] Yoshi appeared in Super Mario 64 as a non-playable character who could be seen upon 100% completion of the game and be briefly visited after. Yoshi also appeared in the DS remake as a playable (and starring) character. In Super Mario Sunshine Yoshi could be ridden on by Mario in the same fashion as in Super Mario World. However, in this game Yoshi has the power to change to different colors (and gain different powers) after eating different tropical fruits. Yoshi appears in New Super Mario Bros. Wii in a very similar role to the one played in Super Mario World. A number of different colored Yoshis can be obtained by hitting blocks throughout the game. Any Yoshi can then be ridden by characters in the game, though the Yoshi's no longer represents special abilities. Yoshi also appears in the game Super Mario Galaxy 2, with the ability to do a mid-air flutter kick to float across the air for a limited period of time. Power-ups allow Yoshi to run up walls; turn into a ballon; and glow, lighting platforms that are only tangible when visible.[14] Yoshi was also intended to appear in the original Super Mario Galaxy but was removed because, according to Satoru Iwata in an Iwata Asks session, it would be "too much all at once."[15] Yoshi also appears in New Super Mario Bros. U with the same gameplay mechanics from its Wii predecessor.
In the GameCube title Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Mario rescues a Yoshi egg that hatches and the Yoshi joins his team during the third chapter of the game. The player can then name the Yoshi. The color of the Yoshi depends on the amount of time that passes between rescuing the egg and the egg hatching.
Yoshi makes numerous appearances in Super Mario Maker. Not only does he have five Mystery Mushroom costumes in the Super Mario Bros. style based on him (one based on Yoshi's Island and four based on Yoshi's Woolly World), he also appears for Mario to ride in the Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. U styles, replacing the Goomba's Shoe in the other styles. His mechanics work in each style as they did in their respective games, except he can't gain special powers through eating shells.
Other appearances[edit]
Yoshi has appeared in nearly all of the Mario sports and spin-off games including every game in the Mario Kart series as a playable character (usually as a middleweight or light-middleweight), every Mario Party game to date as a playable character, and appearances in multiple Mario sports titles (Mario Tennis, Mario Golf, Mario Super Sluggers, Super Mario Strikers, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games).[16] Yoshi's attributes in these games trend towards the lightweight side of the spectrum, often with high footspeed and less-than-impressive accuracy.
Yoshi is the main character in the English localization of Tetris Attack. The game's single-player story mode takes place in the world of Yoshi's Island, where Bowser and his minions have cursed all of Yoshi's friends. Playing as Yoshi, the player must defeat each of Yoshi's friends in order to remove the curse. Once all friends have been freed, the game proceeds to a series of confrontations with Bowser's minions, and then to Bowser himself. During these final matches the player can select Yoshi or any of the rescued friends to play out the stage.
Yoshi is one of the original 12 playable characters in Super Smash Bros.. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Yoshi's Final Smash (called the "Super Dragon") causes Yoshi to temporarily grow wings, fly, and breathe fire. In the "Subspace Emissary" segment of the Super Smash Bros. Brawl adventure mode, Yoshi is awakened by various Subspace enemies and teams up with Link and other Smash Bros. characters to defeat Tabuu and save the world.
Yoshi has made cameo appearances in other video games. In the SNES remake of Super Mario Bros. 3 that is part of Super Mario All-Stars, one of the kings is transformed into a Yoshi. In Super Mario Galaxy, an image of a Yoshi head appears as a wooden planet that Mario can visit in the Space Junk Galaxy. Yoshi made a cameo appearance in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest as one of the competitors in Cranky's Video Game Heroes show. Additional video game series in which Yoshi has made a cameo appearance include The Legend of Zelda series (Link's Awakening and Ocarina of Time), and Metal Gear (The Twin Snakes and Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D). In The Twin Snakes, Yoshi and Mario are dolls that stand on a desk. When shot the Yoshi figurine plays Yoshi's signature "Yoshi!" sound-clip.[8] In Snake Eater 3D, Yoshi dolls replaces all the cartoon-like frogs, Kerotans, which that appear in all other versions of Metal Gear Solid 3. Shooting all of them will earn the player the Yoshi rank at the end of the game.
Yoshi was one of the twelve initial Amiibo figurines.[17]
Appearances in other media[edit]
The animated series Super Mario World produced by DIC Entertainment is based on the game of the same name, and similar in plotline to the previous series The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, and The Super Mario Bros. Super Show, except with a different setting. The show features Yoshi as a regular character, voiced by Andrew Sabiston. In the cartoon, Yoshi is a young, friendly and fleet-of-foot dinosaur who occasionally talks in 3rd person until speaking perfect English from slightly later in the episode A Little Learning.
Yoshi is featured in the Super Mario Adventures comic serial printed in Nintendo Power, the Nintendo Adventure Books, and the Super Mario Bros. movie (taking the form of a realistic animatronic dinosaur). Yoshi is King Koopa's pet, referred to as a "throwback" by a gang of Koopas, joins Princess Daisy's side and selflessly protects her against a stabbing before reappearing at the end of the film in good health.
|If you've ever played a Mario game, you'll know one thing: there is no greater joy than hitting a question block and finding a Yoshi egg. Nothing else comes close: fire-flowers, frog-suits, invincibility stars… not one. Why? Because Yoshi is the ultimate side-kick.[18]
|— 20 Top Video Game Sidekicks of All Time, WhatCulture.com
Since appearing in Super Mario World, Yoshi has received largely positive reception. Yoshi is one of the most recognizable characters in the Mario series and is featured in a myriad of Mario merchandise such as toys, shirts, and figures. Yoshi also appeared in two of the McDonald's Happy Meal promotions of Mario toys which only starred Mario, Donkey Kong, and Yoshi.[19] In a poll conducted in 2008, Yoshi was voted as the third-favorite video game character in Japan, with Cloud Strife and Mario placing second and first, respectively.[20] GameTrailers has created a special tribute video for Yoshi for the release of Super Mario Galaxy 2.[21]
Yoshi ranked at #1 on WhatCulture's list of "20 Top Video Game Sidekicks Of All Time".[18] Cheat Code Central listed Yoshi as the third best sidekick in video games, as well as one of the most adorable video game characters.[22] GameSpy ranked Yoshi as the seventh best videogame sidekick, above Luigi by reasoning that only Yoshi can pull off being green and still be cool.[23] Complex placed Yoshi at fourth among "The 25 Most Kickass Dragons in Video Games", adding "Yoshi would have to be one of the best sidekicks of all time".[24] Australia's Official Nintendo Magazine called Yoshi a "cute, trustworthy, a plumber's best friend" and compared Yoshi's loyalty to that of a dog.[8] Yoshi is ranked 52nd on GamesRadar's Top 100 video game heroes.[25] The 2011 issue of the Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition included Yoshi at the 21st place in their list of the "Top 50 Video Game Characters of All Time", being the second highest-ranked Mario character, Mario being the first.[26]
