Humanity Today...

Me (14:22): Guy died yesterday... Of a sprained knee. Well, had a knee injury 8months ago. But @550lbs he couldn't get out his recliner. EMTs took him to Hosp, covered in
Me (14:26): Decubitis & waste. Wife said he slept &defecated in the chair, & she cleaned it everyday. How do you clean waste out of a LayZBoy?

CNN says a couple was arrested of child abuse for tying down and beating "with closed fists and wires etc" their daughter. They did this, because they were shamed by her. The lil tart (of 8 years old) had allowed herself to be lured to a shed and raped by four boys no older than 14, one of the nights they'd locked her out of the apartment and left her begging for food from the neighbors.
•Mom & Dad... Burn in hell. There isn't enough paper in Staples for all the papercuts I'd like to administer to you before I bathe you in bleach and light you on fire.
•Neighbors.. Wtf? No one takes the girl to CPS after this happens frequently? No one even calls the Police? Wtf is wrong with you?

Also.. The new US Preventative Task Force guidelines on Mammograms:
(Previous: Yearly after 40. Manual breast exams by doctor as part of periodic health exam. Every 3yrs in 20s&30s, every year after 40. Also, manual self-exams starting at 20. Early detection is key!)
NEW guidelines: Recommends AGAINST mammograms 40-49... Recommends every TWO years 50-74. Recommends AGAINST manual self-exam.

Um.. Wtf? We find a cure or you people just cutting corners? Most docs feel this is economy related & will continue to recommend the previous standard.. Which remains the American Cancer Society's guidelines.
SO all you women who found lumps pre-50... You'd be dead. Everyone with mastectomy's resulting from Mammogram at 40.. Yea. Dead.

Didn't we just have that "Save the Ta-Ta's" thing come out? Encouraging young women to self-exam right? Jeeeeeeeze.

Ok.. Done being negative today. Kthanks.

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!
