Massive update[edit]
As people can see, I've massively updated, tweaked and expanded the article - if anyone feels like commenting/criticising/suggesting amendments, feel free to drop something here on the talk :). Ironholds (talk) 21:08, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
- Hi, I just came across an article in The Economist that mentions this year, ie 2010, as the 350th anniversary of the society, pegging the 28th November, 1660 date as its date of foundation. On checking the Royal Society website I found a validation of that information [1]. While this entry mentions the date it does not explicitly point it out as the date of foundation. Do you think it ought to mention something on the lines of "This event is today recognised as the founding meeting of the Royal Society", as it does in the website, in reference to it. Demodifier (talk) 13:28, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
- Good point; I'll link it in this evening when I get back from work. Thanks, Ironholds (talk) 14:53, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
- 28 November 1660 was indeed the founding meeting of the first Fellows and is the date we now use to celebrate our Anniversary Day. As to the actual date of foundation, there are a number of possibilities. It might be wise to use the date we were granted a Royal Charter by King Charles II (although he granted us three of them, which doesn't exactly help!) PointOfPresence (talk) 13:20, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
- Good point; I'll link it in this evening when I get back from work. Thanks, Ironholds (talk) 14:53, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
- Hi, good job on the article. Perhaps you could sketch the move from pre-uniformitarian times under Pepys, Newton et al, to the present? There is huge interest on this, what with the recent attempted sacking of one fellow[1] for being percieved as not uniformitarian enough. Maybe outline what part the uniformitarian assumptions play within the Society, and how they differ from the creation style assumptions made by Newton, Maxwell, Kepler et al.

Any influences from earlier empirical societies?[edit]
Are there any empirical societies prior to the Royal Society that may have influenced it? For example, the Casa de la Contratacion in Seville?--18.104.22.168 (talk) 04:31, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
Michael Reiss[edit]
I've removed a reference to a nine-day wonder involving a misreported statement by Michael Reiss. At best, this belongs on the biographical article of that scientist. It has no place here. --TS 20:54, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
- Imho, the point is worth noting. As far as "recentism," I've seen that term on talk pages, but can't find a WP page on it. To me, something 2 years old isn't recent, but it's entirely possible misunderstand the term.
- Not sure what "nine-day wonder" means here. I think the fact that Reiss had to resign after suggesting questions from students about creationism be answered is pertinent to the article. The article should aim to inform about the history, nature, mission, publications, and deeds of the society. If the society will not countenance that suggestion, I think that fact should be included. Dawkins thought it significant enough to comment on. Nearly a year after the event ("row" or "affair," as the press called it) it was still getting traction. (It's a blog, but at Nature.com, and here are the blogster's credentials.)
- It's not everyday you'll find Richard Dawkins agreeing with a priest who was hounded out of his job for daring to suggest creationists shouldn't be totally ostracised. However, Dawkins and Reverend Professor Michael Reiss have both put their names to a demand that evolution should not be excluded from primary schools in the UK.
(I took the liberty of trimming out some off-topic to-and-fro while we got to this discussion with everything in one place --TS 00:43, 8 October 2010 (UTC))
- Thank you; great job. I'm pretty busy right now so probably won't be commenting in the next several hours or more. --Yopienso (talk) 00:58, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
It was a storm in a teacup. The Society is a fellowship organization--a college, if you like--and Reiss himself is not a Fellow, much less an elected Officer of the Society, he was only ever an employee of the Society. It was unfortunate that his remarks were misinterpreted and he resigned, but it doesn't rank alongside the other events in this article which mostly focuses on governance and the membership. If we do cover the affairs of employees, even those that make the newspapers, we shouldn't just pick on the latest newspaper article. That's what I mean by Recentism. Look at the latest event before the Reiss affair in that section, and you'll see it relates to the first election of female Fellows, in 1945.
To give you a further example of where this all stands, I should point you to the state of the article in the days before the Reiss affair, here. There is no mention of Reiss, and even the section "Permanent staff" only lists the Executive Secretary and three of his Senior Managers. That section of the article has not changed much in the intervening period. Reiss himself is a prominent bioethicist and specialist in science education, but his work with the Royal Society was in a minor role, albeit a public-facing one. When he stepped down, the Society itself described his post as "a part-time post he held on secondment."
Understandably the press often finds it difficult to distinguish between part-time employees and elected Fellows and Officers, and tends to think anybody whose role in an organization is to perform public outreach must be a very important person within the structure of the Society. We don't have to follow their errors. --TS 01:50, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
- I shouldn't have started this knowing I had precious little time to devote to it. My take on it, and I reacted too quickly, was that this incident reveals the overt anti-religion stance of the Society. I think that's important, as it identifies a core value in its decision-making process. The problem here wasn't really what Reiss said but that he was a priest. Dawkins was uncharacteristically polite in his letter to which I linked above:
- Unfortunately for him as a would-be spokesman for the Royal Society, Michael Reiss is also an ordained minister. To call for his resignation on those grounds, as several Nobel-prize-winning Fellows are now doing, comes a little too close to a witch-hunt for my squeamish taste.
- Nevertheless - it's regrettable but true - the fact that he is a priest undermines him as an effective spokesman for accommodationism: "Well, he would say that, wouldn't he!"
- As Dawkins also says in that letter, in the US we--including Eugenie Scott--are more accommodationist. It is my own accommodationist attitude that rankles at the deletion of the paragraph.
- I won't argue with you as to whether this was a storm in a teacup, but may disagree on the size of the teacup. On a grand scale, the world didn't stop spinning, the stock market didn't crash, the Prime Minister wasn't ousted. But in the Royal Society/teaching-of-evolution culture war community, it reverberated, as I noted above, for months.
- I still see the issue the same way I did yesterday when I made an over-hasty revert. I do see your point that the article deals in broad outlines and that Reiss was a minor figure. His resignation, however, made him a much larger figure in its symbolism. Omitting all mention of it smacks, to me, of glossing over what could be perceived as intolerance on the part of the Society. Please see my user page for my editing rationale.
- In my opinion, the Society's attitude and action in this case casts them into the unworthy lot of people who don't know what niggardly means.
- I've said all this, well, because I wanted to, I guess! :-) To show you and any editor who happens along why I think this is significant. But I don't have the time or energy or will to pursue the issue, so I'm dropping it. In leaving, Tony, thank you for your good will, which I reciprocate. --Yopienso (talk) 16:29, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
I agree with you that what made Reiss's job untenable was the call for his resignation by two of the more illustrious Fellows, who didn't like having an ordained minister in such a sensitive role. The secular nature of the Society is very important historically; for much of its history it was the only secular body of scientists in Britain, all of the other institutions required their Fellows, with rare exceptions due to Royal patronage, to take holy orders.
However the involvement of Kroto and Roberts, which I do not think was covered in the piece I removed, does tend to sway me in your direction. Most of the Press flubbed this story through ignorance or simple carelessness about the Society's secular ethic. There was a related controversy, in my opinion more telling, over the Society's acceptance of Templeton money. I'll think about this and type something up when I get home. The important thing is to get this into historical, that is to say encyclopedic, context. Tasty monster (=TS ) 17:26, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
- In response to a link and comment from 2/0 about Recentism, I just wrote on my talk page:
- Please look at the article if you can find time; Tony seems to have never gotten back to it. I'm thinking something appropriate would be, In keeping with its historic[ally] secular orientation, the Society only reluctantly accepted a priest as Director of Education and gladly received his resignation after comments he made about addressing questions students might ask about creationism were misrepresented in the media. A footnote could link to the story. --Yopienso (talk) 22:05, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
- The above section is all groundless speculation and bullshit without some kind of citation. Can you prove that the acceptance of a priest was reluctant, and that the resignation was received "gladly"? Because if you can't, It's not going in. Ironholds (talk) 00:46, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
- I'll be happy to engage with you after you've read everything in this section and looked at the history of the article from Oct. 7-8. --Yopienso (talk) 04:43, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
- What the- looked at the history of the article? I wrote most of the article. Look, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. That's the rule. That means that if you want to say things like " the Society only reluctantly accepted a priest as Director of Education and gladly received his resignation " you must provide a metric fuckton of reliable sources before it acceptable. The opinions of two individuals, Nature bloggers or not, are not enough. Ironholds (talk) 12:17, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you for reading what others have written. Tony's point was that the RS was ground-breaking in being secular, and my point is that the episode with Reiss illustrates the Society wants to keep it that way. I'm hoping Francis (Andeggs) will have some helpful contributions. --Yopienso (talk) 17:33, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
- Andeggs; are you there? I believe this article in the Guardian should somehow be incorporated into our WP article. This section of the talk page makes much of the Royal Society's secular orientation, but that is not reflected in the article. The Royal Society itself makes no such overt claim. Is the Society anti-religious, or does Kroto speak solely for himself? Yopienso (talk) 17:07, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Feedback to the Royal Society[edit]
Hi everyone, thanks for all the great work developing these Royal Society pages. If you see ways in which the Royal Society's website could be improved or you have ideas about the sort of information we could publish then please let us know here: http://royalsociety.org/contact-us/ (select 'Web site queries'). Thanks, Francis (Web Editor, The Royal Society) Andeggs (talk) 10:37, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
- Welcome! I invite your comments on the discussion above about Michael Reiss and the Society's stance about a member of the clergy being in a leadership position. --Yopienso (talk) 17:25, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

- and to Tony's entire response the same day, beginning with:
- I agree with you that what made Reiss's job untenable was the call for his resignation by two of the more illustrious Fellows,...
- I'm particularly interested in your response to this that I wrote above on Oct. 8:
- Yopienso: you understand how Reliable Sources work, yes? Andeggs saying that "yes, internal Royal Society scuttlebutt sez that's what happens" is irrelevant. Ironholds (talk) 17:54, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
- I hold the quaint attitude that I could occasionally be wrong. If Andeggs says I am on this, I drop the issue. If he says I'm right, it would be worth pursuing if I have the time. --Yopienso (talk) 18:12, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
- Expert opinions are irrelevant in this matter. If you can find reliable sources, fine. If you cannot, you drop it. Ironholds (talk) 19:07, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
- You missed my point. My looking would depend partly on what Andeggs says. If he dismisses the notion out of hand, why should I waste my time? If he agrees, it would be worth my time--if I could find it--to dig up some RSs. But I have a funny feeling no quantity or quality of RSs would convince you. Fortunately, I have no inclination to try to do that. --Yopienso (talk) 19:34, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
- If you slough off Dawkins' and Nature's views, what's mine? Less than nothing. And, really, it is! :-) I assume your view is far more informed than mine, but, sadly, more entrenched as well. Best wishes, --Yopienso (talk) 19:40, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: Not moved. The guideline at WP:THE should be respected unless there is a good reason. As pointed out there, the country is called "the United Kingdom" in running text so we have the article at United Kingdom. Even on the above talk page, and within the article itself, people are writing it as "the Royal Society". Since "the" is not capitalized, as in The Hague, we don't usually make "the" be part of the article title.

- Support I think this is one of the only cases where I support the inclusion of The. If there were no other royal societies I would not be supporting this motion. However, there are a large number of other royal societies. As such, I can see the value is including The in this case and in this case only. Given wikipedia doesn't care about WP:OFFICIALNAMES find the argument put forward by PointOfPresence inappropriate and rather contrary to convention. My support is principally on the basis of WP:THE given it is almost exclusively referred to as The Royal Society and helps distinguish it from others.--Labattblueboy (talk) 16:07, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose - per WP:THE: "When a proper name is almost always used with capitalized "The", especially if it is included by unofficial sources, we should include it." and "Definite and indefinite articles should be avoided for all cases not mentioned above." The "the" is used several times but not capitalized on this page from the Society's website. Kuguar03 (talk) 23:06, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose per Kuguar03. "Royal Society" on its own always refers to this organisation and not, for example, the Royal Geographical Society, the Royal Society of Medicine, or the Royal Society of Arts. Their website is located at royalsociety.org. The Celestial City (talk) 18:59, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Is Royal Society indeed the oldest learning society?[edit]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academie Francaise
The Académie was officially established in 1635 by Cardinal Richelieu, the chief minister to King Louis XIII
Royal Society was established 25 years later(1660). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 03:12, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
- Please clarify which Académie your are referring to (neither the above link nor French Academy of Sciences mention 1635) and provide references if this is not in wikipedia articles. Materialscientist (talk) 04:48, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
- I think editor intended to link to Academie Francaise, established in 1635. But that is not a society for science. ComputScientist (talk) 08:48, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah; as far as I'm aware the only possible competitor is the german equivalent. Ironholds (talk) 14:36, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
- The Academia Secretorum Naturae was created in 1560 though it survived only until 1578. The Accademia dei Lincei was founded in 1603 and it still exists. Both were scientific societies and they predate both the Royal Society and the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina. Any statement as to which scientific society is the oldest ought to come from a secondary source. The question of which was the first scientific society must surely have been a topic of discussion among historians. EdJohnston (talk) 14:45, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
- Yes; since the first one was closed, it's hardly a useful comparison. I would suggest providing a secondary source for your second statement as well, which currently lacks one; if you are aware of sources covering the oldest society, feel free to include them. Ironholds (talk) 15:48, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
- On their own web site, the Royal Society claims to be the oldest scientific academy in continuous existence but gives no citation for that claim. They celebrated their 350th anniversary in 2010, which would acknowledge a 1660 founding date. The German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina asserts: "The Leopoldina was founded in 1652 in Schweinfurt and is thus the oldest continuously existing academy of natural sciences and medicine in the world", per a document on their web site. The Leopoldina safely follows the precedent of the Royal Society by giving no reference for their statement. The two claims refer to the same criterion ('continuously existing academy') so they can't both be true. I do not know how the Royal Society would respond to the rival claims of the Lincei and the Leopoldina. Footnote 2 on our Leopoldina article is clearly incorrect. The Royal Society dates its own royal charter to 1662, not 1650. Until we find reliable sources, we probably should change the Royal Society article so it does not assert in Wikipedia's voice that it is 'possibly the oldest such society in existence'. EdJohnston (talk) 17:03, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
- Well, the Royal Society article does contain a citation saying it's true - and the Royal Society is dating its second charter, not its first one. Ironholds (talk) 17:40, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
- Second charter? It would be hard for them to have got a royal charter before 1660, since there was no king on the throne between 1649 and 1660. The Royal Society is not a historian. They are not a reliable source for their own priority. We could, of course, list all the conflicting claims the way newspapers would. EdJohnston (talk) 17:59, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
- I would suggest amending the footnote to include the Italian claim. Ironholds (talk) 16:43, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
Invisible College[edit]
The identification of the so-called Invisible College around Boyle with the Wilkins group is basically probably wrong, a mistake that has been around since the 18th century. I'm trying to make the article about it reflect contemporary scholarly views. Anything said here should be very cautious. There were in any case a number of groups concerned in the prehistory of the Royal Society. Charles Matthews (talk) 09:23, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
Yes. There are certainly no problems with talking about a group at Gresham College from 1645, which came to include John Wilkins who was later at Wadham College, Oxford and drew in various scientists in a "big tent" fashion (i.e. including royalists such as Wren). The only snag is that that group doesn't have a really respectable name: "men of Gresham" would do. The name Invisible College was borrowed for that group, it seems during the 18th century, and this nomenclature gets two points almost exactly wrong: (i) the real "invisible college" were the people who were excluded from the "big tent", and were deliberately left out of the Royal Society when it was set up, i.e. Hartlib and friends; and (ii) it seems that "invisible college" more generally meant a correspondence network at the time, not people who met face-to-face. So we are dealing with a serious misnomer, at best. That is why this page for example, by Richard S. Westfall, talks about the group in London, the misnamed "Invisible College," generally taken as the precursor to the Royal Society. So, indeed, there are reliable sources: Christopher Hill too, for example.
More of a writing problem concerns exactly what should be said here: a reference to the "Wilkins group" would be better, certainly. Charles Matthews (talk) 19:29, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
I'm now drafting something in my userspace that ought to be better to link to. Charles Matthews (talk) 15:31, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
Gresham College and the formation of the Royal Society has been created. I think all the mentions in this article of the Invisible College are wrong and misleading. The whole section on the foundation needs to be carefully referenced in the light of current views. Charles Matthews (talk) 09:53, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
Are all Fellows notable?[edit]
I had assumed that all Fellows of the Royal Society of London would pass Wikipedia's notibility criteria, but perhaps not?
Thoughts? --Mais oui! (talk) 12:33, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
- And another one:
- --Mais oui! (talk) 12:41, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
Rutherford is in the Dictionary of National Biography. I wouldn't argue that absolutely every person in the DNB is notable; but the exceptions are usually rather special cases. The ODNB says of him "controversies with anti-vivisectionists led to a nervous breakdown". There was a certain amount of hushing-up at the time. I see no reason to argue that he is not notable.
Generally speaking, things like FRS or DNB inclusion give a prima facie case for notability here. Some people might come under "famous for just one thing", or "wrote a book and the topic of the article should be the book rather than the person", i.e. biography somewhat narrow. Looking at [2] I see no reason to exclude Sheina Marshall. Charles Matthews (talk) 14:04, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for pinging me, Mais Oui! I've amplified each a bit, and removed the notability tag, since these two seem clearly notable to me. FRS get special extended biographical treatment in Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society. I agree with Charles's remarks. Dsp13 (talk) 17:24, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
- (much later) See WP:PROF, "Criteria" (my bold):
Academics/professors meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable. ...
1. The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources. 2. The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.3. The person is or has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a Fellow of a major scholarly society for which that is a highly selective honor (e.g., the IEEE)."

There needs to be something about the parallels with British & Dutch Freemasonry. The Grand Masters John Theophilus Desaguliers and John Montagu, 2nd Duke of Montagu were Fellows of the Royal Society. There are more names in a masonic biography of Sir Isaac Newton. --Wool Bridge (talk) 22:11, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
- Interesting - is there any historical research that you can cite to clarify that? Remember WP:NOR! Barney the barney barney (talk) 22:19, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
Disclosure on updates[edit]
The multiple edits made on January 29 in this diff updating and correcting the existing text were made by various Royal Society staff members in the course of editing training led by myself as Wikipedian in Residence at the Royal Society. In most cases the existing links led to web pages with the correct current information. One sentence that was plain wrong, and not supported by the reference was removed. Wiki at Royal Society John (talk) 03:02, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
How many fellows are there?[edit]
The article says 1,450 in one place, and 1,314 in another. Richard75 (talk) 23:40, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
- Changed, but if you followed the ref on 1314 you would have seen 1450. It is pointless trying to get an exact figure; there is a death about twice a month, but 50 new Fellows every April, so the total is slowly rising. Wiki at Royal Society John (talk) 01:12, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
NEW: Photos for Commons of the new Fellows for 2014[edit]
I'm delighted to be able to announce that the Royal Society has agreed that the official photo portraits of the new Fellows elected in 2014 / List of Fellows of the Royal Society elected in 2014 will, as the default, be released on open licences and uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. It is intended that this will continue in future years. The photos are taken at the Induction Day in July so will not be on Commons until after that. Please watch the project page at Wikipedia:WikiProject Royal Society! There may be some exceptions, where Fellows prefer to use an existing photo which cannot be released on an open licence. Wiki at Royal Society John (talk) 12:29, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
Useful resources[edit]
Hi, it would be great if this page had some more information about the more recent activities and history of the Society. Here are some useful resources for anyone who wants to take up the challenge:
- The Royal Society and Science in the 20th century - a special journal issue following a conference on the subject (will be freely available until at least 2020)
- The Royal Society Today - a document published in 1960 which contains some useful history on the Society in the 20th century.
- 1st issue of journal Notes & Records - contains some useful overview articles (permanently freely available)
There could also be more information about the Society's library and collections. Here's a scanned book which offers a definitive history of the Library:
Thanks Andeggs (talk) 11:25, 7 June 2014 (UTC) (Digital Manager, The Royal Society)
New photos on Commons from the Royal Society Library[edit]
As part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Royal Society a special photo session in the Royal Society Library in London has resulted in Commons:Category:Royal Society Library, with over 50 photos of their treasures, mostly 17th century manuscripts, including several of one of the early minute books, Boyle's notebooks etc, the manuscript fair copy of Newton's Principia etc. Please add these as appropriate. Thanks! Wiki at Royal Society John (talk) 22:05, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
|This article is missing information about accomplishments.
Given how many important contributions to science have been made by fellows of the Royal Society, presented at its meetings, disclosed in its journals, etc., it seems like this article should have a sampling. The 18th Century section says the society had "a small number of scientific "greats" compared to other periods", which seems like a teaser as to what the "greats" actually were. -- Beland (talk) 23:31, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Bribed a porn producer to cast aspiring actress Maya Avant in one of his movies [2013]
Tried to get Rick Forrester to dump Maya by casting her in a steamy web series [2013]
Kissed the engaged Ridge Forrester while married to Rick Forrester [2014]
Caroline is the daughter of Karen Spencer and the namesake of her aunt, Caroline Spencer Forrester, who died of leukemia in 1990 while married to Ridge Forrester. Karen had a relationship with Ridge's brother, Thorne Forrester, and nearly married attorney Connor Davis before leaving Los Angeles in 1994; while Caroline has two mothers in Karen and her spouse, Danielle, the identity of Caroline's father has not been revealed on-screen. Caroline sports a cancer ribbon tattoo on the back of her neck to honor the elder Caroline.
Caroline lived in New York until 2012 until she relocated to L.A. to accept a designing position at Forrester Creations. Caroline enjoyed the attentions of Forrester heirs Rick Forrester and Thomas Forrester; when Rick's ex-wife, Amber Moore, who wanted Rick back, showed Caroline photos that seemed to indicate Rick was a cross-dresser, Caroline gravitated toward Thomas. Caroline and Thomas helped clear their friend, Marcus Walton, who thought he had hit a man with his car while texting. Caroline was jealous when Thomas kissed his former love interest, Hope Logan, as a publicity stunt; later, when Rick and Thomas' power struggle at Forrester ended with Thomas throwing Rick through a second-story window, Caroline dumped Thomas and began seeing Rick.
Caroline overheard her uncle, Bill Spencer, Jr., admitting he had broken Hope's father, Deacon Sharpe, out of jail to sabotage Hope's wedding to Bill's son, Liam Spencer. When Caroline confronted Bill, she tripped and fell from a balcony, reassuring others that Bill hadn't pushed her. Caroline helped Rick win a fashion showdown that led to Rick being named president of Forrester, which deepened their relationship.
But the usually demure Caroline showed another, more materialistic side when Rick began volunteering at Dayzee's, a coffee house known for aiding the homeless. Caroline became jealous of Maya Avant, a down-on-her-luck actress/singer with whom Rick spent a lot of time. Caroline's plot to get the unsuspecting Maya cast in a porn film backfired when Maya didn't take the bait and Caroline's photo with adult performer Herc was leaked on the Internet. Caroline tried to impress the increasingly aloof Rick by holding a fundraiser for the Caroline Spencer Cancer Foundation, during which Rick and other male Forrester execs modeled sleepwear. But Caroline knew Rick wanted to break up with her and purposely sidestepped the subject for as long as she could.
Caroline embarrassed Maya, an ex-convict who had become a model at Forrester, by having Maya don prison-themed fashions in a mock prison cell. Caroline was hopeful when it seemed Maya was pulling away from Rick, but then learned it was only because Bill was blackmailing Maya to benefit Caroline. Hoping to drive a wedge between the reunited Rick and Maya, Caroline pulled strings to get Maya cast on the web series Room 8 alongside Forrester lawyer/actor Carter Walton. Caroline got the producer to sex up the scripts to annoy Rick, and her ploy would have worked had Maya not overheard Caroline on the set in a heated conversation over the show's racy content.
Caroline tried a more sincere approach when she worked with Rick to rebrand Hope's fashion line, Hope for the Future (HFTF). When the successful HFTF showing kept Rick from attending the premiere of Room 8, Caroline reluctantly reported that Carter had been seen leaving Maya's apartment the next morning. Caroline was surprised when a retaliatory Rick made love to her, and more so when Rick announced that he wanted to reunite with Caroline. After Caroline accepted Rick's proposal at the entrance of Forrester Creations, where they met, Caroline and Rick were married during Hope's impromptu engagement party at Thanksgiving.
Caroline confronted Maya after Maya approached Rick for a reconciliation, claiming she hadn't had closure with Rick. Caroline set Maya straight and disapproved of Maya's methods when Maya secretly recorded house photographer Oliver Jones admitting he was only dating young Aly Forrester for job security.
When Caroline decided she wanted to branch out into couture, she mentored with Ridge, who had fallen out of a helicopter in the Middle East and sustained brain damage. Caroline was unprepared for the sparks that flew when Ridge clasped his hand over Caroline's to help make changes to a design. Ridge confided to Caroline that his accident had left him unable to draw, so Caroline agreed to privately help Ridge design a collection. Caroline found herself fantasizing about Ridge; after they kissed, Caroline used Ridge's restored drawing ability as an excuse to dissolve the partnership. But Maya had spied Caroline kissing Ridge and reported them to Rick, who became CEO and overpriced Caroline and Ridge's collection in an attempt to sabotage it.
Caroline's apologies to the vengeful Rick fell on deaf ears; Caroline watched helplessly as Rick flaunted his affair with Maya in Caroline's face. Caroline was hopeful when Rick offered a reconciliation, but felt humiliated when it was only Rick's scheme to secure irrevocable control of the company from his father, Eric Forrester, who wanted Rick and Caroline to reunite. Fed up, Caroline began exploring possibilities with Ridge; Caroline was horrified when Rick caught her kissing Ridge and fired warning shots at them. Caroline's determination to call the police was thwarted by Rick's mother, Brooke Logan, who wanted to protect her son; instead, Caroline filed for a divorce, making love to Ridge using paint with which he was crafting Caroline's portrait.
Caroline travelled to New York to visit her mothers, keeping in touch with Ridge and her L.A. family via video calls. Upon coming home, Caroline revealed she had been struck by a car in the Big Apple, which broke her ankles. Caroline leaned on Ridge, literally, as he helped her out of her wheelchair and encouraged her to walk again. Meanwhile, Maya was publicly exposed as transgender thanks to Bill; Caroline, who had always felt Maya was harboring an earth-shattering secret, sympathized with the mellowing Rick and offered an olive branch to Maya. Caroline helped Ridge design the California Freedom line, whose showing featured Maya and other transgender models.Having reexamined her priorities as a result of her accident, Caroline admitted to Ridge that she wanted a baby. Caroline understood when Ridge, who already had adult children, didn't want more kids, but Caroline didn't understand when Ridge suddenly broke up with her. Caroline washed down antianxiety pills with too much wine and was shocked when she woke up next to Thomas, who informed her they had made love. Caroline swore Thomas to secrecy after Ridge had a change of heart; Caroline married Ridge on the bluffs of Malibu and soon learned she was pregnant. But when Ridge revealed he'd had a vasectomy years before, Caroline was forced to admit she was carrying Thomas' baby.
Despite her misgivings, Caroline went along with Ridge's decision that they raise Thomas' child as their own. Caroline found it hard to keep up the ruse as her fellow employees discovered her pregnancy and Thomas started asking questions about its paternity. Caroline and Ridge agreed to drop the subject completely to keep people from finding out. As Caroline's pregnancy progressed, she was glad that Brooke left Forrester to work at Spencer Publications, where Caroline showed Bill a book Danielle published that she started when Caroline was in middle school.
Caroline privately consulted her doctor when told the consumption of alcohol or drugs at the time of conception could harm the fetus. After Rick moved out of the Forrester mansion, upset that Ridge had replaced Rick's portrait of Maya with Stephanie's, Caroline and Ridge left their loft and moved into the mansion themselves. Caroline chose a water delivery for her son, whom Ridge named Douglas in honor of Stephanie's maiden name. Caroline was uncomfortable with Thomas fussing over the baby, but more so when Ridge revealed that his fertility specialist, Dr. Wolin, surmised Ridge couldn't be the father of Caroline's baby and tried to extort money for his silence. When Bill's wife, Katie Logan, admitted talking to Wolin and came around asking questions, Caroline slipped that Thomas was really Douglas' father, which forced Ridge to tell Thomas the truth about Douglas' paternity.
Caroline panicked when Thomas took off with Douglas, but Caroline agreed to meet Thomas at the family's Big Bear cabin, where Caroline convinced Thomas that the best thing would be let Ridge raise Douglas and let the world believe that Douglas was Thomas' brother. However, Caroline was taken aback when Ridge wanted to send Thomas to Shanghai for CEO training. Caroline was horrified when Bill got wind of their secret, barely managing to talk Bill out of splashing Douglas' paternity across his media platforms. When Thomas admitted he could no longer live the lie, Caroline concurred, causing Ridge to apologize and place Douglas in Thomas' arms. Caroline maintained her commitment to Ridge when Thomas wanted to be a family with her and Douglas.

Riding home on my way home from work, a man called out, "I wish I was a bike seat!". This comment was not a compliment and made me feel disgusted.

Bugün okulda Kürtleri ve ibneleri istemiyoruz diyen 2 kişi arkamdan hakaret etti. Sözlü tacizle homofobi ve kürtfobi saldırıya uğradım. Üniversite okuyan öğrencilerin bu şekilde davranmaları aldıkları eğitimleri gösteriyor.
Today 2 people insulted me from behind saying "we do not want Kurds and fags at school". I was verbally attacked with anti-kurdish harassment and homophobia. Students attending college have been receiving training to behave this way.
"Nice ass…best butt in town", was yelled at me by a group of men, followed by a wolf-whistle, when walking down the Main Street of Angaston. This was a Saturday afternoon and it was humiliating. I pretended not to hear it, although my non-response encouraged more comments.
Somebody in a red Chevy kept making sexual gestures at me constantly.I was walking and the traffic kept them away but a mile away they were harassing me again
A group of young boys on bicycles was blocking the path where I usually run — this is a wide, safe path by a river.
As I ran by, two of them touched my butt. I turned around and yelled at them "hey! that is not acceptable. You cannot do that." I then ran away but I still want to cry. It made me so upset and angry.
Je rentrais chez moi le soir avec une copine, et deux hommes nous ont abordées. Ma copine et moi, on ne lui a pas répondu quand il nous a demandé, dans un premier temps, si on pourrait "faire connaissance" et après si on "voulait baiser". Moi et ma copine a continué notre chemin sans répondre, alors il a crié qu'on était des grosses putes en nous suivant quelques mètres. Puis lui et son copain ont quitté la place.
I went home at night with a girlfriend and two men approached us. My girlfriend and I, we did not answer him when he asked us, at first, if we could "get to know them" and then if we "wanted to fuck." My girlfriend and I went on our way without answering, then he shouted that we were big whores and they followed us a few meters. Then he and his friend left.

Walking down 14th with two of my friends, a man walked toward me in that way they do, where you know they're about to say something disgusting. He didn't say anything, though. He just passed by me extremely close, then turned and started following us. He threw out some "baby… baby"s and we ignored him. His comments became more disgusting, "I love your pussy. It's my favorite." He kept following. He followed us to our front steps (by the time we realized he was still following, we were already on our deserted street), though we told him to stop. We told him no several times. My friend got out her phone to call the cops and the guy finally left. My friend spoke to the 911 operator for a few minutes. We're still seething, and worried about him knowing where we live.

Printemps dernier. Je monte dans le bus bondé. Il pile, une main touche furtivement ma jupe au niveau de mon pubis. Je remarque que c'est celle d'un homme et place mon sac devant ma jupe, de sorte qu'il ne puisse pas réitérer -à cet instant je lui laisse encore le bénéfice du doute puisque je me dis c'est peut etre la secousse du bus qui l'a poussé contre moi. Sa main cherche mon entrejambe. Je le repousse, essaie de me dégager. Les larmes montent mais je reste muette. Il change de place.
Last spring. I get into the crowded bus. It stops suddenly, a hand touching my skirt at the level of my pubes. I notice that it is of a man and put my bag in front of my skirt, so it can not happen again -to this moment I let him have the benefit of the doubt because I think maybe the shaking bus drove him against me. His hand looking for my crotch. I push him, trying to free myself. Tears come but I remain silent. He changes position.
A series of ongoing incidents has left me feeling isolated and hesitant to socialise. I am often followed home by a person in a car who will use very degrading language (shouted out of the car window,or a series of hoots to alert my attention) it seems that they want me to know that they are following me as they are in cars and i am on foot (there is often more than one person or different cars),it is difficult to identify then. On a regular basis the car will hoot outside in a neighbouring street always within an hour of me getting home.
the same group have also been spreading rumours within my social circle referring to me with discriminatory references to people who are then discouraged from communicating or socialising with me to the degree that my entire social circle have become misinformed about me (with gossip and lies). For some time now i have been living an isolated existence which consists of receiving verbal abuse and being told i am unworthy of being helped . They often use ethnic and sexual references and paint a picture of 'dirty','slut' and many other references to make it unappealing to reach out. As i cant identify these people they just continue to getting kicks out of making my life like a prison.
After attending a house concert for a collective in my city aimed at improving representation of women and non-binary people in the local music scene, I was unlocking my bike from the tree it was chained to. Two men in a sedan drove by and yelled "Bend over, baby!" at me. I was shocked at their rudeness and cowardice and especially discouraged after being in such a positive environment. Oh, the irony.

Your smartwatch screen may soon be rather more impressive: This 4.7″ organic LCD display is flexible enough to wrap right around a wrist.
Produced by FlexEnable from the UK, the screen squeezes a full-colour organic LCD onto a sheet that measures just 0.2mm thick, which makes it highly conformable. The company claims that it can easily run vivid colour and smooth video content, which is a sight better than most wearables.
It's not the first flexible display, of course. LG already has an 18″ OLED panel that has enough flexibility to roll into a tube that's an 2.5cm across. But this concept — which, sadly, is all it is right now — is the first large, conformable OLCD designed for wearables that we've seen.

The biggest punches and worst fights in French domestic rugby
I don't know why you're getting slated. You're right, there is no point to fighting. A professional player should not be losing his cool. Throwing a punch and starting a brawl has to be the most stupid thing you can do for your team. Unless it is in self defence there is absolutely no reason to hit a guy. Some of the cheap shots in this video whilst the other guy is on the floor really do reach new heights of stupidity, cowardice and violence. Mostly stupidity if I'm being honest.
If this makes me a football fan, Greig, then sign me up. If you're pissed off at someone, take lead from Josh Lewsey.

Does Planking Have Its Roots In Slavery?Monday, 11 July 2011 09:13 Published in Social Issues
Have you ever felt the urge to "plank" something?
While it started out as an Internet stunt -- "planking" has become this year's craze -- inspiring intrepid, amateur stunt men and women lying with their face down, usually in a public place and then posting the photos to the web (preferably Twitter).
Villaraigosa Blasts Lawmakers For National Debt Crisis On 'Face The Nation'Monday, 04 July 2011 18:39 Published in Politics
LOS ANGELES (CBS) — Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa appeared on the Sunday morning talk show "Face The Nation", where he suggested lawmakers from both parties should submit their resignatioms if they put the U.S. in a situation where the federal government defaults on its debts.
"I think Washington has its head in the sand," Villaraigosa told moderator Bob Schiffer. "We're dithering with default, (and are) on the verge, frankly, of jeopardizing the full faith and credit of the United States of America."
Speaking as a featured guest on CBS' "Face The Nation," the two-term Los Angeles Democrat blamed members of both parties for failing to compromise on the contentious issue of raising the federal debt limit.
Republicans and the White House are locked in a standoff over the credit issue, which could put the U.S. in default if it is not solved by early August.
"Democrats won't address entitlements — Medicare and Social Security — and Republicans don't want to talk about revenues or defense spending, and the fact is we need to do both," he said.
Villaraigosa also went on to defend his budget cuts, saying it was the job of city leaders to keep finances in order — even if that means making small sacrifices.
The appearance marked the second Sunday in two weeks in which Villaraigosa has popped up on a morning network political panel show to attack partisan gridlock in Washington.

Billie Holiday: Billie Holiday Sings Standards
"The Very Thought Of You," is a medium-tempo sampler of these pleasures, with some florid and harmonically astute piano from Margaret "Countess" Johnson in counterpoint to Holiday's golden voice, and Buck Clayton on muted trumpet and Lester Young on clarinet splitting a solo chorus in front of Freddie Green's airy guitar chords. "More Than You Know," with trumpeter Roy Eldridge opening and closing with arresting theme statements, Holiday's vocal commitment lending meaning to "Oh how I sigh, how I cry", the smooth backing chords from the horns, pianist Teddy Wilson tinkling away in the background and then alternating lovely solos with altoist Benny Carter, is another beauty.
But you could pick almost any of these tracks for the spotlight. Unfortunately, there are a few clinkers: two ill-considered tracks originally from LADY IN SATIN, recorded in 1958 with the jazz band augmented by a string orchestra and Holiday's wrecked voice turning her earlier vocal methods into self-parodying mannerisms; a 1936 version of the bluesy "Summertime" which seems inappropriate for Holiday; and it's jarring. at the start of the otherwise typically perfect "Until the Real Thing Comes Along," to hear her singing, "I'd be a nigger or a knave for you" an unwelcome piece of Americana, that. Still, there is enough gorgeous music here, eighteen tracks in all, to make this a great sampler for someone who doesn't already have the Columbia Holidays in their collection.

Weather Week: And Then, High Pressure Set In
Early in the Bill Murray comedy Stripes, Murray's character is dumped by his girlfriend, an act that would lead him to ultimately join the army. After she slams the door, leaving him on his knees in the entry hall of his apartment, he turns around and, in a moment of narration, says, "And then, depression set in." Over the weekend, with the sun blazing, the humidity weighing the air down and temperatures pushing into the 90s, a modified version of that line wormed its way into my weather-nerdy brain: And then, high pressure set in.
That may seem like a circuitous route to get to the fact that high pressure is beginning to dominate our area much the way it does during our brutal summer months, but I felt the need to ease the blow with some humor, not so much for you, dear reader, but for myself. You see, if October 1, with its promise of cooler weather, fading tropical weather, holidays on the horizon and NBA hoops around the corner, is my favorite day of the year, June 1 is my least favorite for the opposite reasons, and it's coming.
Anyone who has lived in Houston the past few years and pays attention to the intricacies of our weather may flinch a bit at the forecast of increased high pressure for the region. It was, after all, the persistence of the same kind of weather phenomena that drove the entire region to the worst drought in a hundred years in 2011 -- a drought that persists for many parts of the state. Fortunately, this is not the same thing and is more akin to the type of high pressure we've gotten during the normal summer months in our past.
In fact, this weather pattern includes the much more frequent waxing and waning of high pressure as disturbances move through with (we hope) regularity, bringing us the tropical rainforest heat we all have come to know and sweat through. This week should be similar.

Expect highs to creep into the lower 90s throughout the week, with only a moderate chance of rain on Thursday. It should also be breezy through midweek, making the evenings somewhat bearable if you choose to spend them on the front porch. By Sunday, we could begin to see some rain, with forecasters calling for a 70 percent chance of the wet stuff into early next week.
So, saddle up, Houstonians. Your summer has begun in earnest. We can do this if we all stick together, but not too close, 'cause, dude, you're sweaty.

Police: Man dead after hut fireFebruary 07,2013
ST. ALBANS The St. Albans police department says a homeless man was found dead after fire destroyed a small hut on the edge of the Vermont city.
An autopsy is being conducted on the body of 54-year-old Richard Poquette to determine the cause of death, but police say the body had severe burns when it was found late Tuesday afternoon and indications are it was an accidental fire death, which may have been started by a burning candle.
Police were called to a wooded area, about 100 yards from North Main Street, at about 4:10 p.m. Thursday after a caller reported finding a body. Poquettes body was found outside the hut, which had been destroyed by fire and was still smoldering.MORE IN Vermont NewsDemocratic gubernatorial nominee Sue Minter has nabbed the endorsement of President Barack Obama,...

The Chartered Institution for Further Education is a new membership body for the higher performing FE colleges and training providers in the UK. It received its Royal Charter on 9 October 2015.
The Chartered Institution takes over from the Institution for Further Education Ltd, the not-for-profit company which was set up by Lord Lingfield in 2013 to pave the way for a new chartered membership organisation for colleges and training providers in the further education sector.
The new organisation will be devoted to developing the potential, reputation and standing of the further education sector. Its mission will be to bring together the best training providers across the sector and collectively to promote, recognise and celebrate their professionalism and success. It will aim to raise standards in the sector by offering an indicator of whole-organisation quality which goes beyond formal QA and appraisal mechanisms. Its members will be committed to developing models of best practice, continuously seeking ways to improve teaching and learning as well as governance.
The Institution was created against a background of the then government's view that FE institutions that were serving their students, employers and their local communities well, and improving the quality of their offer should be properly recognised and celebrated, while those doing it less well should be encouraged to do better and set a goal to which they could aspire.

With the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament fast approaching, most of the nation's focus is on the top ranked teams and household names.
But look a little deeper at the teams not too many people are buzzing about, and several quality players emerge that for the most part have gone unnoticed by the national eye.
This list breaks down the top 10 players that haven't been receiving a significant amount of time in the spotlight but could do some unexpected damage come tournament time.
Some of these players you may know well by name, but most of them you probably aren't too familiar with. All of them should have a chance to shine once it's tournament time.

What's your question? Search here
Automatic recommendationI am not usually one to write in with my comments, however I must on this occasion after dealing with King Automatics in Epsom. My 2003 Grand Cherokee CRD auto had locked in 2nd gear, my regular mechanic had taken it as far as he could and I thought I was looking at 2k plus to get a new gearbox. As a long-term reader of your column in the Telegraph I had a vague recollection of you recommending a company in Epsom Surrey. I then through your website found out the company was King Automatics, I spoke to Trevor King about my problem and he said to take it over and he would take a look. I did not think I would see the Jeep for a while but out of the blue he rang today to say he had found the fault which was the gearbox electric plate and it was all fixed at working fine. The cost of this just over £400 including all the parts and oils. My kids will be pleased that Christmas is back on and I am really pleased to have my car back Trevor King is a true gentleman who obviously is far more concerned about helping you than he is about profit. Thanks again to KING AUTOMATICS for a great service and thanks to you John for the recommendation.

Trevor King is fantastic. The trouble is, he's so good, so reasonable and so helpful he is often overwhelmed with work.

Serving Recommendations:
While cake is cooling melt milk chocolate and peanut butter chips in top of double boiler. As chips start to melt stir in peanut butter, when ingredients are melted and blended, remove from heat.
Wait to melt white chocolate chips until after cake has be frosted.
Slowly pour icing over cake, allowing it to cover top and flow down sides of cake. Melt white chips and shortening. Place melted chocolate in a decorating bag with a small round tip or place in a small resealable plastic bag, roll up bag then snip a very small hole in corner of bag. Draw 2 circles around top of cake with the melted white chocolate. Starting on the inside of the top of the cake gently pull a toothpick over the top to the outside(about every two inches) through the white chocolate rings to form at spider web on top of the cake.
Carefully place cake on cake plate. I used the black under side of a charger plate for my Halloween cake plate and added some Halloween accessories around the plate for a fun presentation. Allow cake to cool before slicing.
Why this recipe represents the holiday:
I used the 12-cup Classic Bundt pan because it holds more cake batter and it made the perfect top shape for my spider web. Goblins (children) love peanut butter and chocolate so this is a perfect cake for a Halloween party.
