Readings from Isis
Edited by Sally Gregory Kohlstedt
Published by the University of Chicago Press, 1999
Why is it that some women have created successful careers in science, when historically there have been so many barriers that exclude women from engaging in scientific work? Here is a comparative history that illuminates some of the patterns that have emerged in the history of women in science.
This book features some of the most influential and pioneering studies of women in the sciences, with a special focus on patterns of education, access, barriers, and opportunities for women's work in science. Spanning the 17th through the 20th centuries, the book demonstrates the meaning and power of gender experienced by women in the sciences.
Individual chapters focus on exceptional women whose unusual initiative and particular circumstance led them to engage in science: Laura Bassi, Nettie Stevens, Maria Winkelmann, and others. Chapters on women's access to science discuss collaboration with family members in the domestic sphere, the impact of primers and popular science writing, and formal education in public schools and advanced research institutions. There are examinations of the reasons for clusters of women working in "female friendly" sciences such as botany and physiology in the 19th century and astronomy in the U.S. during the early 20th century.
This important and useful book provides a thoughtful and detailed overview for scholars and students in the history of science, as well as for feminist historians, scientists, and others who who want a comparative and historical analysis of women in the sciences.
Contributors include Janet Browne, Paula Findlen, Peggy Aldrich Kidwell, Ann Hibner Koblitz, M. Susan Lindee, Carolyn Merchant, Margaret W. Rossiter, Londa Schiebinger, Nancy Leys Stepan, and Deborah Jean Warner.

This is part of a series of posts inspired by the Royal Society's One Culture festival of literature and the arts.
Guest post by Jasmine Fox-Skelly, digital volunteer
Charles Darwin and John Milton were two pioneering thinkers of their time who had contrasting views of creation. John Milton wrote the epic poem Paradise Lost in 1667 in order to 'justify the ways of God to man'. The poem depicts amongst many things the war in Heaven between God and the Angel Lucifer, the attempts by Satan to set up an army in Hell, his travels to Earth to tempt Adam and Eve and the consequent fall of Man. It also depicts the creation of life on Earth by God. Darwin on the other hand set out his theory of evolution of life through the means of natural selection in 'The Origin of Species' published in 1859. The work provided a great deal of evidence and observations that helped to explain the extraordinary variations found in creatures on Earth. He developed his theories further in the 1871 publication of 'The Descent of Man", where he argued that humans had evolved from a common ancestor of the ape.
In a talk given as part of the Royal Society's One Culture festival, the Nobel Prize winning biologist and President of the Royal Society Sir Paul Nurse compared the two men's visions. Describing himself as "a fan of both Milton and Darwin", he demonstrated this by showing the audience his personal copy of a 1720s edition of Milton's Paradise Lost which was published only 40 years after the original. He also had in his possession a 2nd edition of the 'Origin of Species' and 'The Descent of Man.'
In Paradise Lost, Milton begins his account of creation by describing God sending his son out into chaos in a chariot surrounded by angels. Filled with 'Majestie Divine, Sapience and Love', he sets about taming the 'vast immeasurable abyss' of chaos. Describing chaos as 'Outrageous as a Sea, dark, wasteful, wilde', God addresses it directly with the words 'Silence, ye troubl'd waves, and thou Deep, peace, Said then th' Omnific Word, your discord end'. God as the son then begins to create the world infusing it with 'vital vertue' and 'vital warmth'.
in his hand
He took the golden Compasses, prepar'd
In Gods Eternal store, to circumscribe
This Universe, and all created things:
One foot he center'd, and the other turn'd
Round through the vast profunditie obscure,
And said, thus farr extend, thus farr thy bounds,
This be thy just Circumference, O World.
Milton uses many words to emphasise the personal paternal nature of this act, which is borne of love, for example God has 'Paternal Glorie'. The Earth itself is described in terms of being a mother, for example when describing the formation of land Milton writes 'The Earth was form'd, but in the Womb as yet Of Waters, Embryon immature involv'd, Appeer'd not'.
When describing the creation of life on Earth by God, Milton again uses words that emphasize the Earth as a mother, obeying God and giving birth to all creatures on Earth:
God said,
Let th' Earth bring forth Foulliving in her kinde,
Cattel and Creeping things, and Beast of the Earth,
Each in their kinde. The Earth obey'd, and strait
Op'ning her fertile Woomb teem'dat a Birth
Innumerous living Creatures, perfetformes,
Limb'd and full grown
Therefore Milton's account of Creation depicts God taming the wild abyss and creating a World of beauty, infusing it with love and goodness and filling it with creatures. Once created, the Earth is a harmonious place: the elements and creatures work together and obey God. This contrasts deeply with Charles Darwin's account of the "warring of the species" of plants and the struggle for existence among wildlife, resulting in the survival of the fittest and the elimination of the weakest.
Darwin came up with his groundbreaking theory of evolution after embarking on the famous Beagle voyage where he collected specimens of fauna and flora that he found throughout his travels. When he came back home he set about cataloguing and studying all the different forms he saw, and in the 1840s he gradually came up with his theory. He argued that species' diversity came about due to evolution through natural selection. Animals evolve through natural selection because in nature more offspring are produced than can possibly survive, which means that animals are competing for finite resources. There are variations between individuals which mean that some animals are better adapted to their surroundings, have a higher probability of survival and thus are more likely to pass on their genes to the next generation. This will lead to a gradual process whereby a species will become more adapted to its environment.
Although at first sight Milton's religious, and Darwin's scientific account of creation are quite different, as Sir Paul Nurse pointed out in his talk, scientific ideas are explored in Paradise Lost. Milton travelled to Florence in 1638 where he met the astronomer Galileo who was under virtual house arrest at the time. Indeed Galileo is the only contemporary person who is featured in Paradise Lost as Milton discusses a telescope looking at the Moon. The poem also discusses cosmology as Satan travels the Universe on his way to Earth. Milton makes reference to a scientific phenomenon that had recently been observed by Galileo through his telescope: Sun spots. Satan is described as a 'spot' when he visits the sun, bringing imperfections which are then observed by scientists. He also makes references to the spinning of the Earth and the seasons, saying that before the fall of man the world was perfect, spinning vertically on its axis, but when Satan came to Earth and tempted man, it caused an event so cataclysmic that the Earth tilted, thus giving us seasons. Sir Paul also pointed out that Milton comments on the debate of the time: Whether the Earth or the Sun is the centre of the solar system. When the Angel Raphael comes to the Garden of Eden, Adam asks him why the stars revolve around the Earth and why the Earth is stationary. Raphael is obtuse in his answer and although saying things to confirm Adam's view, also says:
Not that I so affirm, though so it seem
To thee who hast thy dwelling here on Earth.
God to remove his wayes from human sense,
Plac'd Heav'n from Earth so farr, that earthly sight,
If it presume, might erre in things too high,
And no advantage gaine. What if the Sun
Be Center to the World, and other Starrs
By his attractive vertue and thir own
Incited, dance about him various rounds?
Therefore Milton slips seamlessly between the traditional religious views of the time and the modern 17th century thinking on science. In the final parts of his talk Sir Paul Nurse used this comparison to think more generally about the differences between the scientific and religious world view. Milton incorporated a variety of knowledge and ideas from 3000 years into his epic poem, but despite knowing references to science, he said that ultimately creation depends on an authority. Darwin's account of creation depends on laws and observation, his method differs as it is scientific, but what is science? Sir Paul remarked that he was 'still not sure, which is embarrassing to admit for the president of the Royal Society!' Science involves a respect for reliable experiments based on testable ideas which are consistent across domains of enquiry and which lead to collective views of understanding. Scientific knowledge therefore is tentative, and these collective views of understanding are known to change from time to time.
Karl Poppersaid that science is the gathering of observations which leads to hypotheses that are capable of being tested. The very process of science is steeped in scepticism, as scientists are continually trying to destroy theories. This is quite different to religious views where challenge is not often encouraged. Science avoids un-testable theories, unlike religion which takes matters on faith. However this is somewhat of a fallacy, as science itself depends upon assumptions that come close to matters of faith. One assumption is that there is a physical world in which to understand, and that what we see relates to that physical world. We take as faith the idea that there is an external world to understand. Another assumption science makes is that you are able to make generalisations about the nature of things from your observations. For example we assume that the sun will rise in the morning because we have seen it do so a thousand times. We put this on faith, because otherwise there is no way of ever knowing anything.
Therefore religion and science do not occupy completely different realms of experience: the boundaries of religion and science have changed over time. There was a time that explanations of volcanic eruptions were always in terms of Gods, but throughout medieval times this happened less and less and scientific explanations took precedence. In Newton's day people started to argue that God set up scientific laws to rule the universe, and Newton in fact wrote far more about religion and magic than he did science, as in those times these concepts were all mixed together.
This blurring and mixing of religion, the arts and science is behind the philosophy of the 'One Culture' festival. Sir Paul Nurse believes that the arts, and in particular the creative act can have a great role to play in science. He noted that the leap between scientific observation and a theory that makes sense of it has a relation to the creative act in the arts. Although in the arts there is a need to explore ambiguity, whilst in science there is a tendency to stick to a particular thought or a way of thinking. Therefore the closing message of the talk was that science has a lot to learn from the arts, and scientists should try to embrace ambiguity and encourage a tolerance of new possibilities.

Chris responded in the comments section, but his words deserve to appear on the front page:
The situation has gotten more bizarre than Meck Deck lets on. Public Policy polling issued the results of a poll that included me (at 5%, compared to a 3% margin between Dole and Hagan). I found the poll reported in four NC news sources, all of which REMOVED my name from the report. When I tried to contact the reporters, one didn't respond, a second said that she didn't know about my candidacy. a third said that he FORGOT about my candidacy, and a fourth admitted that it should have been a "no-brainer" (his words) to include me. Yet, I also found the poll reported WITH my name in the New York Sun, the Washington Times, and even Kay Hagan's website. I am generally skeptical of conspiracy theories, but this is turning me into a foil-hat guy.
Note to Chris: the foil won't go with the beard.

Boyor Ignatin, known as Boyor I and Boyor the Righteous, was an Orion man of the 11th century. He was a member of the Ignatin family, President of the Botchok Planetary Congress and then Emperor of the Orion Empire.
During the collapse of Orion society during the Reverse, the Botchok Planetary Congress (BPC) was unable to restore order or political power over the Orion Colonies with either strict laws or military threats, and its authority weakened. Eventually, desiring more power and extreme force to end the Colonies' disputes, a number of powerful families on Botchok revolted, and chose BPC President Boyor Ignatin to lead them. The revolt was successful, and on March 21st, 1003 CE (reference stardate −10/0303.21), with the families' backing, Boyor seized dictatorial powers, imprisoned his opponents, and reorganized Orion government.
Later that year, he was crowned Emperor Boyor I, called Boyor the Righteous, becoming the first of the Three Emperors. He then issued the Demand for Unity to all seceded and rebellious Colonies. When that didn't work, he sent the Orion Space Navy to bring these worlds back under control, triggering the Fringe Wars, a total failure that only hastened the collapse of Orion society.
Boyor was finally assassinated in October 1062 CE (stardate −10/6210). Clan warfare and rioting broke out, and spread to destroy the entirety of his family line. He was succeeded by Renat the Old, though succession conflicts continued for sixteen more years. (FASA RPG - The Orions module: Book of Common Knowledge)

I've been enjoying a nice behind-the-scenes look at LEGO Marvel's Avengers thanks to updates from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and TT Games. Personally, I've loved Marvel LEGO and it's video game evolution, but this latest one is really shaping up to be something special. In their recent update to the faithful, the creative team pulled back the curtain once again explaining that they are significantly expanding the LEGO Marvel Universe with an army of playable characters we've never seen before!
LEGO Marvel's Avengers includes content well beyond the Avengers movies, spanning not only six different films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the game also features extensive classic comic content seen in Marvel comics. With more than 100 new characters that have never appeared in a LEGO game before, the latest fan favorites to be revealed include familiar Avengers characters from the Marvel Comic Universe, including Fin Fang Foom, Devil Dinosaur & Moon-Boy, Korvac, Skaar, Wendigo, Crimson Dynamo, Mantis, Peggy Carter and the Iron Man's Mark 38 armor—also known as "Igor."
Take a look at the latest reveals!
In the upcoming game (hitting US store shelves on January 26th, 2016), you will see characters and playable content from Marvel films including The Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: The First Avenger, Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. That said, with 100 new characters that have never been seen before in LEGO games, this one looks like must-play comic goodness to me.

If the Internet Were a Galaxy it Would Look Like This
If you ever have a hard time grasping how everything on the Internet is connected, this new space-like visualization could help clear up some things.
Russian programmer Ruslan Ekineev created The Internet Map of the world wide web, plotting more than 350,000 websites as though they were planets. While the map shows site's relative positions to each other, the websites are not accurately aligned to a surface, as they appear.
Each planet's size is determined by its relative traffic at the end of 2011; planets' locations are determined by other sites with overlapping links; and colors represent the 196 countries of origin included on the map.
Not suprisingly, smack in the middle of the map of the Internet galaxy are Google, Facebook, Yahoo and YouTube.
Check out the site and let us know what you think. Does this show you something unexpected about the Internet? Bonus points if you can find Mashable on there without the search tool (the screenshot below's a hint).

Royal Jelly-Improves the Fertility in Men and Women(Increasing Fructose in Seminal Plasma, Size of Sperm, Increasing of Sperm Production)
Royal jelly is exclusively rich in nutrients and can improves the fertility in men and women, because helps in improving of sperm and ovum.
It is suitable for using in women who suffer from PMS, who have low estrogen levels and irregular menstrual cycle.
Recent study has examined the effects of royal jelly in male rabbits who suffer from infertility. In application of royal jelly, researchers have found increasing of fructose in seminal plasma, significantly increasing of testosterone level, the size of sperm, increasing of the total sperm production and improving of the motility, as decreasing of the number of injured and dead spermatozoids.
The conclusion of the research confirms that royal belly resists to the infertility in male rabbits and improves their overall physical condition.
Fresh royal jelly contains 20% proteins, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA); 10 hydroxyls-2- decennia acid (HAD) to 6,5%; fat to 5% (poly-unsaturated, mono-unsaturated and saturated fatty acids to 18%; including linoleum and alpha-linoleic acid, sugar to 18%, mineral salts (arithmetical mean-2,7%), albumins and globulin, vitamins from all of the groups B, S, X, PP, as well and soluble in fat, A, D, E and K, niacin, pantotentic acid, biotin, inozitol, macro and micro elements, lecithin, collagen, gamma, globulin and acetipholin, powerful antioxidant P-hydroxibenzoat (metilparaben) natural hormones, including testosterone, carotionoids (flavonoids and phytosterols) enzymes and bio-catholic ingredients who help the cells regeneration.

The boys formed their shoe-gazey, dream poppy musical creation, Wood Lake, back in 2012 in Ottawa. The recipe for Wood Lake is Harry McGuire (Guitar/Vocals), Rhian Meaney (Drums/Backing Vocals) and Colin Boudreault (Bass/Backing Vocals). "Easy Love" is their latest single off of their upcoming record, Hell, due out April 22nd of this year. The track encapsulates the human need for easy love. Let your imagination go where it will but in this context it doesn't have to be physical. It's just pure, easy love from human to human which can be hard to come across in this world.
The rippling synths, whispering vocals and gentle build of "Easy Love" makes it an ideal dreamy shoegazer. Check out their Bandcamp page for album-purchasing info!!!

Environmental health officers at 60 local councils across the UK collected 831 samples of processed foods from supermarkets and other stores.
Tests revealed that the salt content of the foods had fallen by 10.9% since May 2005, though fewer than half the foods met the Food Standards Agency's salt reduction targets for 2010.
The Food Standards Agency has introduced a "traffic light" system of food labelling that lists ingredients as red, amber or green, to indicate whether levels are unhealthy or not. While several retailers have adopted the scheme, others, including Tesco and large manufacturers such as Nestlé and Kelloggs, have championed an alternative system expressing ingredients as a percentage of a guideline daily amount.
Targets set by the FSA aim to see daily recommended levels of salt intake fall from today's level of around 9g to 6g by 2010. According to the pressure group Consensus Action on Salt and Health, a 3g drop in salt intake would lead to a 22% reduction in strokes and a 16% fall in coronary heart disease, preventing 35,000 deaths in Britain every year.

New UN report reveals UK is world's biggest producer of medical cannabis
A new report from the UN's International Narcotics Control Board has revealed the UK is the world's largest producer and exporter of legal cannabis for medical and scientific uses. Yet proper access to medical cannabis is still denied to UK patients.
The report – that includes data from governments around the world – reveals that the UK produced 95 tonnes of legal cannabis in 2016. This is more than double the 2015 total of 42 tonnes, at which point the UK leapfrogged Canada into the number one spot.
This news may come as a surprise to many, given that the UK Government has consistently refused to allow medical cannabis in the UK on the basis that it has 'no therapeutic value'.
There is, however, one UK licensed cannabis-based medicine called Sativex – (a whole plant cannabis extract in spray form) – produced by GW pharmaceuticals – accounting for a significant proportion of UK legal cannabis production. It is available on prescription, but only via the NHS in Wales. For many people it is either not the right cannabis product, or too expensive to buy privately. Estimates suggest as many as 1 million people who use cannabis for medical purposes are put at risk from buying cannabis on the criminal market.
The UK situation is complex, and somewhat confusing (see notes to editors).
The Government is denying that cannabis has medical uses, but at the same time licensing production of the world's biggest government licensed medical cannabis production and export market.
Medical cannabis products licensed in other countries remain illegal in the UK, even when prescribed by a doctor who has determined they are needed by a UK patient
Steve Rolles, Transform's Senior Policy Analyst said:
"It is scandalous and untenable for the UK government to maintain that cannabis has no medical uses, at the same time as licensing the world's biggest government approved medical cannabis production and export market.
"UK patients are either denied access and suffering unnecessarily, or are forced to buy cannabis from the criminal market. Countries with proper access to medical cannabis do not have this problem, as standardised cannabis products are in the hands of doctors and pharmacists.
It is profoundly unethical, and a violation of the fundamental right to health, to deny people access to medicines that are prescribed by their doctors. The government must relax restrictions that grant a monopoly for a single product to a single company. It must allow access to cannabis-based medicines that serve patients needs – what they don't need is the government's cruel and misguided war on people who use drugs."

Notes to editors.
- The UK's bizarre medical cannabis laws
- Cannabis is a class B drug, controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 (and schedule 1 with 'no medical use' )
- One cannabis based medicine is, however, currently licensed in the UK (under schedule 4(i)) – 'Sativex' produced by GW pharmaceuticals.
- Sativex is approved by the MHRA for use as a treatment for multiple sclerosis but doctors can prescribe it for other uses – it is expensive, and only available on the NHS in Wales (Not England, Scotland or Northern Ireland).
- Sativex is a standardised whole plant tincture (cannabis extracted into alcohol) – rather than a single component of the plant extracted as a pharmaceutical. It therefore IS MEDICAL CANNABIS by any reasonable definition.
- Medical cannabis products licensed in other countries – such as 'Bedrocan' in the Netherlands (a standardised herbal cannabis product) – cannot be legally accessed, imported or possessed in the UK by UK citizens, even if prescribed by a UK doctor.
- EU citizens prescribed other medical cannabis products, such as Bedrocan, in the EU can, however, legally bring them to the UK and consume them here. So use of herbal medical cannabis is technically legal in the UK, but not by UK citizens
- CBD oil (a non-psychoactive cannabis extract) currently exists in a legal grey area (see notes). GW pharmaceuticals are also producing 'Epidiolex', currently in phase three trials) likely to be first fully licensed prescribable CBD medical product in the UK when trials are finalised.

Pink Martini drummer Derek Rieth had been "severely depressed" days before he killed himself with a handgun in his bedroom on Aug. 20, according to a police report obtained by The Oregonian. Reith, 43, left a note saying "he wished he could love himself as much as everyone else loved him," the report said.
Police found Seroquel, a drug used primarily to treat bipolar disorder, but also depression, in a bathroom medicine cabinet.
Rieth's girlfriend, Tadimdia Bridges, told police she grew worried about Reith Wednesday evening when he didn't return text messages for a few hours. He had told her he would pick her up from work and usually returned her texts quickly, she recalled. Bridges said Rieth had suffered from depression for a few years and was hospitalized for a month for depression last year.
Pink Martini released a statement on Facebook Monday afternoon, including details for contributing to a foundation in the percussionist's name.
"With deepest sorrow we announce the passing of Derek Rieth, whose long struggle with bipolar disorder ended when he took his own life on Wednesday, August 20, 2014. Derek was a beloved son, brother, friend and colleague whose beautiful heart and passion for music touched thousands of lives. He will be deeply missed. A private memorial service for friends and family is planned for early September. Public tributes will be ongoing, and the family has also announced the creation of the Derek Rieth Foundation, to provide musical instruments and music education to underprivileged young people. Donations to the Foundation can be sent care of Pink Martini."

John & Christine Hambleton moved into the village in October 1978 with two of their three children, Belinda and Paula. Paula attended Aston Primary School for 18 months before moving to Frodsham Comprehensive. Belinda was already at Helsby Grammar. Jonathon, their son, was at boarding school. They had purchased a plot of land on Chester Road in 1976 and proceeded to build Baytree Cottage. This was on part of the site previously occupied by a farm worker's thatched cottage, erected probably the same time as Village Farm in 1778.
Many people will be unaware that for a number of years Christine, Belinda and Paula produced "Hambleton's Homemade Humbugs", together with other varieties of confectionery from what appeared to be a lean-to garage on the side of the building. This housed a small cottage industry production unit consisting of Boiler, Batch roller and Cutting machine. Production ceased in 1993 and brought to a an end almost 155 years continuous production having started in Runcorn in 1838.
The orchard at Village Farm which was adjacent to Baytree Cottage was purchased from Aston Estates in 1993. This provided a very large garden to Baytree Cottage. At the time Baytree Cottage was extended to provide an upper storey. With such a large garden to maintain, Christine and John decided to erect a new property for themselves on part of the orchard. This property, Village House, is on the identical spot of the previous thatched cottage believed to have been demolished in the 1960s. Baytree was purchased by Colin and Sandra Spruce and their daughter Rebecca in February 2000. Christine and John moved simultaneously into Village House built by themselves. It is of timber framed construction produced by Potton Ltd. They have since moved to Chester.
typical recipe from the Hambleton range: -
Ingredients -
Sugar - 12lb.
Glucose - 4lb
Water - 3.1/4pt.
Oil of peppermint - 1/4 fl.oz.
Liquid brilliant - a trace
blue colour
Silver Mints
Boil the sugar, glucose and water to 295F. Add a trace of blue
colour to counteract any yellow tint and pour onto the oiled
slab. When cooled sufficiently, knead in the oil of peppermint.
Cut off a portion of the batch and pull this over the hook until
it has turned white and satiny. Stripe the bulk of the batch with
this and pass through the deep rollers. Pack in airtight tins
or bottles.

DM moved from nowhere to even more isolated places and created a new BOSQUE opus: "Beyond" follows down the paths walked by "Passage" and "Nowhere" but opens up new perspectives – not only when it comes to names. Bosque (port./span.: Forest, the forest with his legends as perception of the north) and DM lead us to a new journey in the deep of his world of thought. We leave the present world and process with a mystic and surreal travel. Bosque success again with their new album to put a mark being a guide of (Funeral) Doom, but this section of music-genre is too small to define all the powerful essence of "Beyond". A unique sound, that creates a atmosphere that search it kind while drag and push the listener at the same time. Bosque call us the rain, send us into a paradoxon of our own feelings only to open us the gate to the otherworld.
The band sticks to the strictly analogue style of recording and thus the very natural sound is preserved. The fog created by the guitars on "Nowhere" clears a little bit, the choral style is more present: Here, "Beyond", lies insight. An insight to emptiness and melancholy, but also aspiration and a subtle enchantment.
This is not a music for trend-followers, no worship of senseless dreamings, Bosque is the audial melancholy of souls.

Petey Piranha
|Petey Piranha
|Game Series
|Mario series
|First Appearance
|Super Mario Sunshine
|Japanese Name:
|Boss Pakkun
|Shadow Mario/Bowser Jr.
|Piranha Plant
|Graffit Spitting
|Special Skill(s):
|Tornado Whirl
|Giant Piranha Plant
|Petey Piranha appears as a boss in the Subspace Emissary mode of Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Petey Piranha is a recurring boss from the Mario series. He is a gigantic, walking, flying version of the usual Piranha Plant enemy. He frequently appears as a boss, but is also a playable character in several Mario spin-offs
Super Mario Sunshine[edit | edit source]
Petey Piranha's debut was in Super Mario Sunhine. He was faced twice in the first area of Super Mario Sunshine. The first time you face him, is inside the windmill that collapsed due to not being able to support the combined weight of Mario and Petey. He can spray graffiti in a 360 degree circle and he is weak to water. When Mario uses F.L.U.D.D to get Petey bloated, ground pound his stomach and the water will come out his mouth. Do this 3 times and Petey is defeated.
The second time you face him, he is at the back end of the area, and you can wake him up by shooting a water-balloon at him. He'll then fly across the village and you must shoot him down with the balloons in that area and he'll be brought down. If you get to close to Petey, he'll use his Head Whirlwind attack. If you are far away from him, he'll spin around causing a Tornado to form and roam around the area for a bit. You can only do the bloat/pound combo once, before Petey is back in the air.
Mario Kart: Double Dash!![edit | edit source]
Petey is an unlockable character, alongside King Boo, by winning Gold at the Special Cup on 150CC. Petey can use any character's special, and usually teams up with King Boo.
Mario Superstar Baseball[edit | edit source]
Petey is a playable character in Mario Superstar Baseball. He has a good hit and a strong pitch, but is very slow on his feet.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit | edit source]
Petey appears as the first boss in the Subspace Emissary. The first time you face him, only Kirby can fight him. He has captured both Peach and Zelda in cages, and the player must choose which princess to save. Petey is relatively easy to beat, he only swipes the cages a small distance and jump-slams around.

Medical Examiner says Braves fan jumped to his death | News
ATLANTA -- The Fulton County Medical Examiner's report says a witness saw Braves fan Ron Homer climb over a railing and jump to his death at a game in August.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner's office says Ronald Homer, 30, of Conyers, died as a result of blunt force trauma to his torso, which would be consistent with a fall from a great height. But the Medical Examiner's office is not saying, yet, what evidence investigators have that led them to conclude that the fall was the result of suicide.
Toxicology reports have not yet been returned in the case.
Homer, who was attending a Braves game, plunged 65 feet from an upper deck area at Turner Field onto a private parking lot on Monday, August 12.
RELATED | Conyers man falls from upper deck at Turner Field
PHOTOS | Ronald Homer, victim of Turner Field fall
Homer's family denies that the death was the result of a suicide. They have retained an attorney and would not speak with 11Alive News Friday.
Homer's family said at the time of the incident that Homer went out to the platform to smoke and may have lost his footing on the wet pavement. The game was under a rain delay at the time of Homer's death.
Homer's father said he was a good-natured man who was not drinking at the time of his death.

MORE | Fan dies after fall from upper level at Georgia Dome
"He wasn't drinking, he doesn't do drugs. He's just a big ole' tall, good-natured kid that loved the Braves," said his father shortly after Homer's death.
The Medical Examiner's written report on the autopsy was not available Friday evening, and investigators on duty would not comment on whether the evidence supporting the finding of suicide included any eyewitnesses or surveillance video.
On the evening of the incident, Matthew Cox, an Auburn University student, said a worker told him he had seen the man standing alone at the black iron railing inside the stairwell, and the next moment the man was falling to the ground.
Cox said another worker said to him, "That guy just jumped over."
Investigators were not saying whether the worker was located to confirm Cox's account, and how significant investigators considered that account to be.
The stairwell is across from the concession stand at Section 413 and overlooks the walkway the Braves players use to walk to and from their cars in a gated parking lot.

Many good things happen at the Hattiloo Theatre. Lighting, I'm sorry to say, usually isn't one of them. From the day it opened, lighting, the one element that determines more than any other how we see a play on stage, has consistently been treated as an afterthought. Once again, clunky design choices married to sloppy, uncertain execution has chopped a perfectly good play to pieces visually and rhythmically. In this case the victim is Two Trains Running, August Wilson's wordy snapshot of Pittsburgh's Hill District in the 1960s.
The cultural upheavals of the 1960s continue to define American culture, even as we sink deeper into the second decade of the 21st century. But Wilson's study of the African-American experience in the '60s barely acknowledges the existence of the civil rights movement, presidents Kennedy or Johnson. Martin Luther King Jr. is mentioned in passing. Malcolm X's name is bandied around more but only to contextualize a spirit of unity moving through people who, unable to find employment, had taken to the streets, making Pittsburgh's less affluent neighborhoods look "like Hong Kong." There's no mention of riots in Detroit or Watts, or of Woodstock. Instead, Wilson takes a more difficult, and a more interesting path, building his loose narrative around the everyday problems of regular customers at a neighborhood diner, a kind of anti-Cheers where patrons can always get a bowl of beans and not much else.
Two Trains doesn't tell one cohesive story but is instead a play about storytelling. A colorful assembly of workers, businessmen, petty crooks, and lost souls gather in a diner, owned by a character named Memphis, to talk about family, friends, enemies, charlatan preachers, dishonest businesses, taxes, and the tyrannizing notion that some glad day every darkie in America can pick cotton on their white God's happy sky plantation. No punches are pulled. Two Trains is a rambling noisy mess of a play that evolves over the course of three hours into a nuanced exploration of the social and civic dynamics that will tear America's inner cities apart in the years to come.
Tony Anderson and Tony Wright stand out from the rest of the cast as an aging laborer with lots to say and a wealthy funeral-home director whose daily encounters with death have given him a unique perspective on life. Stephen Dowdy and Jose C. Joiner are also excellent as the determined diner owner and an ex-con with big ideas and limited means. But everything about this show needs to tighten up considerably. Smoother, less invasive lighting changes would be a good place to start.

Next to Normal at Playhouse on the Square breaks all the rules. It's a musical with limited choreography and nothing that could really be described as dancing. There are some laughs along the way but nothing that could really be described as a joke. Instead of taking audiences back to the Candyland world where most musicals unfold, Next to Normal takes a nakedly emotional plunge into the lives of a family torn apart by mental illness. This acclaimed experiment is also about the culture of health care and all kinds of drugs.
Valley of the Dolls doesn't have anything on "I Miss the Mountains," a folky power ballad about absolute sensation and the manic peaks that are crushed along with all the bad things under the weight of antidepressants. It's one of the best things about Leah Bray Nichols' raw-nerve performance as Diana Goodman, a wife and mother ripped apart with grief over the loss of a child.
Nichols and David Foster are both detail-oriented actors and gutsy singers, perfectly suited for their roles as Next to Normal's unraveling couple. But the story is very nearly turned upside down by the charm and crumbling innocence of Kelsey Hopkins who plays Goodman's bright but fragile daughter and Corbin Williams as the stoner boyfriend who decides to hold on no matter what.
Gary John La Rosa keeps the staging simple, and Renee Kemper's musical direction is right on time.

If you want to raise more money, chart a strategic direction, make your nonprofit more effective, get your board engaged, and achieve your mission, you need a theory of change. A theory of change is basically an argument for how your nonprofit turns community resources (money, volunteers, clients, staff, materials) into positive change in the community. Articulating this simple argument can dramatically increase your nonprofit's effectiveness and financial sustainability. In order to help your nonprofit create a theory of change, I'm delighted to announce that we are releasing today our newest Step-by-Step Guide, Creating a Theory of Change.
More and more donors and board members want to understand how the nonprofit they are involved with creates social change. A theory of change helps your nonprofit do that.
A theory of change can strengthen your nonprofit in many ways:
- As the backbone of a case for support or other fundraising collateral. With a theory of change, you can articulate the impact you are working to achieve, in a compelling way.
- To revise the vision and mission of your organization, making them stronger and more compelling.
- As a filter for new opportunities as they arise. Do new opportunities fit within your theory of change? If not, perhaps you should not pursue them.
- To guide your strategic planning process. If you understand the organization's overall theory of change and what you exist to do, it is much easier to chart a future course.
- To get board members and other volunteers, friends and supporters engaged, committed, and excited about your work. If people understand the bigger picture, they will be more inclined to give more time, energy, and other resources to the work.
- To help staff understand how their individual roles and responsibilities fit into the larger vision of the organization. This can increase staff morale, productivity, communication and overall commitment to the organization.
The Creating a Theory of Change Guide is organized around the parts of a Theory of Change. In each of the 8 sections of this guide there is a series of questions, which you will answer. Your answers to these questions become the basis for your final theory of change.
The sections of the guide are:
- Community Need
- Inputs
- Activities
- Outputs
- Outcomes
- Impact
- Final Theory of Change
- Next Steps
You can find out more about the Creating a Theory of Change guide here. And for information on our other Step-by-Step Guides, like the Financing Plan Guide, Business Plan Guide, or Case for Investment Guide, check out our Tools page.

LONDON — Lobby groups representing Britain's hedge funds is going to outline their wish list for Brexit talks between the UK and European Union to mitigate the damage a "hard Brexit" could have on the City.
That's according to the Financial Times, which saw the draft document from the Alternative Investment Management Association, Managed Funds Association and the Alternative Credit Council.
A "hard Brexit" is the UK leaving the European Union without unfettered access to the single market, in exchange for full control over immigration.
However, for financial services, this is the worst possible outcome as it would mean the loss of passporting rights.
The loss of passporting rights following Brexit is one of the biggest fears in the City of London. If the passport is taken away, then London could cease to be the most important financial centre in Europe, costing the UK thousands of jobs and billions in revenues. Around 5,500 firms registered in the UK rely on the European Union's passporting rights for the financial services sector, and they turn over about £9 billion ($11.2 billion) in revenue.
According to the FT, citing AIMA figures, 85% of European hedge fund assets are managed from the UK.
The hedge fund document is allegedly going to point out that the industry contributes nearly £4 billion annually in tax while also providing more than 40,000 jobs.
On top of that, the document will also say that if Britain does decide to opt out of the Freedom of Movement act — and therefore stop the free movement of EU citizens into the UK — this could hit the industry hard because 20% of its employees in London come from the EU.

Hello everyone,
Hi all,
I'm developing a free language-learning portal called LanguageQuesters, the concept is language-learning in a more immersive and/or interactive fashion. I've lately been using recordings from librivox (with all due credits naturally) to create dual-subtitled animated stories. You can see some of what I created here:
The link is safe, it's a wordpress based site
Most of the content you see at the moment is original stories I wrote, some not. I've been using non-English audio recordings from Librivox, adding them dual-subtitles and images and posting them as a language-learning video. Currently I've only done it to Spanish but I've also started with Russian (it helps that I'm familiar with Spanish and know Russian pretty well).
At any rate,
Since I think Librivox is a wonderful community, I'm looking here for volunteers to help me out create more such material. I originally tried to hire freelancers to help with translations/creative writing/voice acting/editing etc -- unfortunately I'm out of money and realized I simply can't afford it. So, if there are any volunteers out there willing to contribute their time for an educational project, that'd be fantastic. The concept is simply creating language-learning materials-- either by using Librivox recording, making a recording of your own or help with translation and dual-subtiitles creation; there is more information in the forums here:

Reese Witherspoon's Makeup at the Toronto Film Festival 2013
Get Reese Witherspoon's Glowing Makeup From the Toronto Film Festival
Last night, Reese Witherspoon stepped out for the screening of Devil's Knot at the Toronto International Film Festival, and her radiant makeup look was definitely something worth copying. Makeup artist Mai Quynh created the "modern, fresh and polished" look to complement her black and white Jason Wu gown.
After applying foundation, Quynh gave Reese a pop of peach color on her cheeks using the Laura Mercier Crème Cheek Colour in Praline ($24) topped with highlighter. Quynh lit up her eyes using the Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Sand Glow ($24) all over her lids. She added a little definition with the Matte Eye Colour in Truffle ($23) along her top lash line and topped everything off with mascara. Finally, on her lips, Quynh complemented the coral cheeks with the Crème Lip Colour in Tangerine ($24). As Reese proves, the warm colors make it a great way to transition your makeup from Summer to Fall.

- Picture an army of mythological beasts, unleashed upon the battlefield. The Allies won't even comprehend the forces that are destroying them.
- -- The Red Skull src
Early Life
Johann Shmidt, alias the Red Skull was a Nazi leader and scientist. He rose through the ranks to become the leader of Hydra during the Second World War. Under the Nazi cause, he began to develop multiple advanced creations, the primary focus of weapons research based on Norse mythology.
Meeting Captain America
When Captain America and the Howling Commandos attacked his castle in Germany, the Red Skull activated a special device that functioned similar to a Bifrost Bridge, transporting multiple monsters from the other realms into Midgard, including the king of the Frost Giants Ymir. Skull's plans were stopped by Captain America once again, and he was forced to retreat on his rocket, though he was pursued by Cap and Bucky. The three fought, and Red Skull escaped the rocket by ejecting from the cockpit, leaving Bucky and Cap to their certain dooms. Bucky threw Cap off the rocket to save him, and he fell into the freezing waters below, becoming encased in ice, while the rocket exploded with Bucky on board, falling to the freezing waters as well.
Red Skull Returns
The Red Skull returned in modern days as the Secretary of Defense of the United States Dell Rusk, and worked with a the revived Bucky (now called Winter Soldier) in a plan which involved transforming General Ross into the Red Hulk and trying (but failing) to capture Bruce Banner.

Greetings all Riders. Organizing a ride on 27th OCT 2017. So far there are 5 of us.
Details below.
The ride is split into 2 portions.
MEETING POINT: MANDAI AVENUE/SEMBAWANG ROAD JUNCTION at 5am. We would like to be in JOHOR by 6am and start the ride proper. There will be no waiting so please practice punctuality.

Mindpoint is approx 60km to Kota Tinggi.
2. Restaurant to Fast Craft Terminal (36km)
Please note that there is only 1 service at 630pm and the ride will take an estimated 30mins to arrive at Changi Ferry Terminal at 7pm.
Kindly reserve your tickets here and REMEMBER TO ADD YOUR BIKE.
If however there are time constraints on your end, you can take a bumboat back- please also note that this is subject to 12 passengers otherwise the Boatmen would not budge and one has to arrive at the terminal by 230pm latest. Just in case there are no services due to it being a weekday.

Trader Joe's Soy Nuggets
First up, Trader Joe's Soy Nuggets. These cooked up crazy-fast in the oven. I believe it was about 4 minutes, then flip them, then another 4-5 minutes and then they're piping hot and crispy! Just like magic! Sort of. Anyway, once these were out of the oven, it was time for the tasting. I poured a few different condiments on my plate to test out some different flavors, but as usual I started out with a bite of the plain nugget. Gotta be scientific about these things, you know.
The exterior was nicely crispy, which doesn't seem to be too difficult to do with enough time in an oven. The inside was a little mushy, but really not bad. Not as mushy as the Chic-a-roos from a while back, but still not perfect. There wasn't much flavor to speak of, aside from a frozen-then-baked sort of flavor. You know the flavor I'm talking about, right? The not-much-flavor thing resulted in a sort of blank canvas for condiments, though. Pretty good with ketchup, ok with barbecue sauce (probably better if you like barbecue sauce more than I do), surprisingly tasty with ranch dressing. Thought about whipping up some honey mustard, but I only had one nugget left and it sounded like too much work for one nugget. Next time, though.
So yeah, Trader Joe's redeems itself once again with a not-too-terrible product. You're about 50-50 at this point, TJ. Better pick up the pace.
The experience:
Texture - nice and crispy outside, a little mushy inside, but not terrible
Flavor - not much there aside from the freezer flavor - very condiment-compatible
Final grade for this attempt: B+

How to Allow Programs in AVG
AVG is security software that includes several products, such as a virus scanner and firewall, that can protect your network and computer data from outside threats. The AVG firewall prevents programs from sending and receiving data outside of your business network. However, there may be legitimate programs that require communication through the AVG firewall to work properly. You can change the firewall mode to allow certain applications in this situation.
Launch the AVG software.
Click the "Firewall" button to navigate to the firewall settings.
Click the "Change" button next to the name of the program you want to allow.
Select the "Automatic mode" setting and click "OK" to save the change. The AVG firewall will allow this program to communicate over the Internet to computers outside of the network.

Housing Banking
The FOMC is not recognizing that lower energy costs are a positive for the Main Street economy. The 2% inflation mandate was needed when inflation peaked at 9% in 1979 as crude oil prices rose. A mandate that invites higher energy prices now is not in the best interest of the American people.

Cast Aluminium Garden Furniture
Tough and long lasting, cast aluminium garden furniture is ideal for the more traditional garden setting. Our incredible range of garden furniture includes cast aluminium garden benches, chairs, tables, bistro sets, dining sets and sun loungers.
Why choose cast aluminium furniture over cast iron furniture? Well, apart from the fact that cast aluminium is rust free and will last for years, cast aluminium doesn't retain the heat like cast iron does. That means you can leave it out in the sunshine for as long as you like and still use it. Cast aluminium garden furniture is also incredibly easy to clean. Just wash with soapy water then rinse - and the job is done.
If you have more questions about any of the cast aluminium garden furniture in our collection, please call us or visit our Essex showroom in Wickford. White Stores are open daily, including weekends, all year round.
There are no products matching the selection.

Prizes and Awards
Moynihan Prize
The Moynihan Prize is the Association's most prestigious scientific award. The prize of £1,000 together with a medal is presented to the author of the best project delivered at the International Surgical Congress. The person reading the paper must be the principal research worker and less than 15 years from graduating. In the case of multiple-author papers, the medal will be presented to the person presenting the paper and the award may be divided between the authors. More information on this prize can be accessed here: https://www.asgbi.org/liverpool2018/moynihan-prize-presentations/
Short Papers of Distinction
The top scoring short papers, as determined by the adjudicators and the Association's Scientific Committee, will be accepted as Short Papers of Distinction and will be allocated a separate session at the Congress for presentation. The presenting author will be presented with a certificate at the Prize Giving session which will take place on Thursday 10th May 2018.
John Farndon Prize
The BJS Society has endowed the John Farndon prize of £500 for the best manuscript published in the BJS in the previous calendar year, having been previously presented at an ASGBI meeting. Papers published in the BJS will be subject to the usual system of editorial review. Manuscripts should be submitted online at: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/bjs
Please indicate clearly on the title page that your paper is being presented at the Association's 2018 International Surgical Congress in Liverpool.
Moynihan Travelling Fellowship

No, we are not trying to sound like Yoda. We are here to discuss the latest in innovation and freaks of technology, a service called Lives On.
So did you guys watch last week's Black Mirror (aired 11/02/13)? A grieving woman (of the future) ends up communicating with her husband after he has died, based on his online profile. The communication starts off with building his profile based on his public interactions on the internet. As it grows, it goes to phone calls and then, I guess, as the online entity has learnt enough about the person, it evolves into a robot of sorts, that is exactly the same person. The subject touches on how, while we put a lot of ourselves online, it can never really truly represent us, as there are certain subjects that are too intimate to discuss online. Or, as may be the case too, that we may have been building a picture that is far from reality about certain details of our life.
So what does this service called '_LivesOn' do? It reads your Twitter account, and based on that, it will create a Twitter account once you die, with probably the words _livesOn added after your Twitter ID. What does this sound like to you?
Do you think this is twisted? Weird? Creepy? Exciting? Personally, I have signed up for the service. Not because I have a need to go on even after I have died, but because I want to know more about these things. The problem is that this presents us with so many ethical as well as social issues that one can't even touch it. Definitely, since watching that show last week, we have a better picture of what would be the pros and cons.
You can sign up to the service at the following address:
You can read an interesting article about it in the Guardian at the following address:
And if you missed the show last week, following is a link to it:
What are your thoughts about the service and the show? Would you sign up for it? Do you think I was wrong to sign up for it?
