    • Why only ONE dumbbell when I'm squatting two of them? I'm sorry but this doesn't make sense. Is the system programmed to know the difference? It knows on Squats, the lb is doubled, but not on curls? Why do that? I doubt it does. Let's test. I did one bodyweight set, and three with two 5lb dumbbel
  • Barbell Squat:

  • Barbell Deadlift:
    • 10 lb x 5 reps (+6 pts)
    • My knee pops. Maybe I'm doing it wrong? /videos.

Ok, so, I learned: The points are doubled when the weight is doubled (on squat). Still... if I'm holding the dumbbells in line like a bar, simply because I don't have a bar, why input only HALF the weight I'm squatting? Comments?

PS: My 5k is this Saturday! SO EXCITED!
We signed Hubby up too. Though we're both signed up for the "Competitive Co-Ed 5k" they only list corrals by gender 45 minutes apart. I hope they're not going to be silly about it. If I have to I'll have one of us ditch the timing chip to run in the other corral. If someone wants to get butthurt over it, they're taking a 5k tooooo seriously.
Can I play too Momma?

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
