1030a Ah, Tuesday: Nothing like 12hours on campus. >_< Actually.. /guilty/ I can study here as Rook's not here to JumpScratchBite me! :( Poor Dog.

1155a One hour studing Basic Chem Review in: Time for a 10min Brain Break. Then quick review, then back in! Good thing too: some class just let out & the StudyHall/Sittin area for the SnackBar just got visciously loud due to the constant clank of vending machines. Turn up earphones (Classical 95.3) to cover it, but then can't force the Chem in my brain! Oi.

The Anatomy & Physiology class has an Recommended-but-not-Required pre-req of Chemistry. We were given a handout on the first day with a Basic Chem review, of which the last page gives a type of mini-quiz. This quiz is prefaced by 'Using only your knowledge and a periodic table answer the following questions. If you are unable to complete this task you may lack the necessary prerequisite knowledge for this course." So far I'm about half to two-thirds through. The Chem I took last semester was taught by a horrible teacher, and no one got higher than a high-C. She could not, would not, allow the students to understand something before she tacked more onto it, though that first it was integral to the second bit! It will take a certain degree of self-teaching in the Chem to get through this A&P class I think.

One of the mind-wrenching nanosecond-of-fury inciting things about contact w/Hubby in Field: Reception delay after 2days of No-Contact.
S-1340 Call I call?
J-1340 Yar!

/tears hair out/ AAAHHHH!!

Star Trek Diplomas: All of them. I think.

Image
So... StarTrek.Com has released a Starfleet Academy Diploma.  I wanted to see if the design was supported by canon (because I'm a huge fact-check nerd) and in my quest collected what I think to be all the diploma designs officially used on the show. I'm still looking though, so if you find one I don't have here, please leave a comment! Confirmed authentic : Voyager epi "Non Sequitur". It appears to be the first time a diploma had been shown, if rabid Trekkers diligently duplicating it is any indication. If you register at the LCARSc site, you can download a free template to make your own! (ref: http://www.lcarsc.com/entry.php/34-Freebie-Friday-Starfleet-Diploma ) Confirmed authentic:  Enterprise : "Storm Front, Part II" Earlier in storyline, later in established canon. Found via http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Starfleet_Academy_majors Official StarTrek.Com diploma (Released 2012):  I can't find any epi screenshot t

De Groote Museum

 De Groote Museum (The Great Museum) is centered around the concept that everything is connected . It's part of the Artis Royal Zoo complex (like Micropia) but has a separate entrance and fee (included in the Museum Card).  The museum was closed for 75 years (not a typo!) and reopened in 2022. It used to be the  'Main Building' or 'Zoological Museum' for Artis. You can read more about it's scientific use at their website ! ARTIS honorary member and professor of Anatomy Willem Vrolik (1801-1863) gave lectures on the autopsies he performed on animals that had died in the zoo. He published the very first scientific description of various animal species. After the autopsy, the animals were prepared and ended up in the museum. At that time, ARTIS mainly wanted to collect and understand nature, in order to promote knowledge in an accessible way. The main hall has a nice area for rest (and maybe yoga). Everything needs rest! There's a soundscape that plays throug

Classroom Architect

One of my assignments for Intro to Tech for Educators was to design a classroom (to certain specifications). I'm posting it here A: Because it's neat.  B: In case the file upload goes wrong.  C: Look! I made it a science classroom! Look's like the one I had when I was in 7th grade science! Bangarang!
