The Starkville High School tennis team were disappointed about their first division loss of the season to the Tupelo Golden Wave on Wednesday.
The good news is the Yellowjackets don't have to wait long for a second chance.
After dropping a 5-2 decision at the SHS tennis courts, the Jackets are already anxious for the return match at Tupelo on Friday.
"Now we know what we're up against," Starkville junior Christine Mazzola said. "We know how to play in the district and this is one of the tough teams we've faced. We've got good players at good positions. We've got a good young team and we can challenge them."
Mazzola and her partner Dasha Banderinko lost to Leslie Ham and Lauren Bell of the Golden Wave in No. 1 girls double 6-4, 6-2, while the No. 2 girls doubles team of Mikala Taylor and Pryanka Parajuli of the Jackets fell to Ashley Williams and Casey Marshall 6-3, 6-2.
In the final match of the day, the SHS mixed doubles duo of Emily Turner and Nick Elder came up short against Zach Baldwin and Sarah Hollingsworth 7-5, 6-4.
Turner believes the Jackets have learned from their mistakes and is anxious to play Tupelo again.
"On Friday, we'll be prepared, know what we're up against and have a game plan," Turner said.
In boys doubles, J.G. Buffington and Andrew Moorhead of Starkville lost to Aaron Hilderbrand and Will Otis 6-1, 6-2 in the No. 1 position, while Clark Pittman and Brian Xu fell to Andrew Hilderbrand and Will Otis 6-3, 6-4 in the No. 2 position.
The Jackets got off to a good start in singles as Lewis Maynard defeated Robert Thompson in boys 6-1, 6-2, and Hannah Laird beat Megan Ware in girls 6-2, 7-5.
Starkville tennis coach Rob Fyke was pleased with the way the squad competed and thought there as a good chance for a win early after singles.
"Toward the middle and as the first set was ending in the first six matches, they had pulled through and on three of the courts had won the first set real close 6-4 and 7-5," Fyke said. "Close scores, but (we) just couldn't pull it through.
"Our kids know now what they have to live up to and know where they have to be in order to win, instead of just compete and play in close matches. We should know more and have a better feel for things on Friday."
Despite the loss, the Jackets still like where they stand with records of 10-1 overall and 4-1 in Class 6A, Region 2.
Still, a win against the Golden Wave would be a sweet one to get.
"We're having a great year and on Friday if we win, it will be wonderful," Turner said.

I've decided today is "Pile On Biden Day."
Remember how Florida Congressman Alan Grayson revealed to the world his shade of psycho during the ObamaCare debate when he said Republicans health care plan was to just "die?" Well, get a load of what he did to his Republican opponent Daniel Webster (you have to watch both videos)....
I've followed the news pretty closely almost my entire adult life, and if there was a Republican out there that did anything half this bad even Aboriginies in the outback whose tv consists of the cardboard box it came in, backlit by campfire, and transmit shadows from hand puppets would know about it.
Forget wondering how that rat bastard sleeps at night, who the hell agreed to produce this video for him in the first place? How do those pieces of human garbage sleep at night?
And worst of all, this guy is going to get a lot of people voting for him, how does anyone with a brain and a conscience vote for this guy? Even if you HATE Republicans, you can't set that aside for one lousy election to give this jerk his comeuppance? REALLY?
I can be pretty fast and loose with my approach but I'm going to pledge right here and now that I will never take anything I talk about out of context.
You may get out of me jokes and sillyness, and sometimes a little bit of rude...but I will always shed things in an honest light.
In the early days of this blog the primary focus was a webcomic. It had somewhere between 6-9 panels and was released every week. I got to almost 20 issues when it became too difficult to maintain with my schedule.
Drawing cartoons is one of the loves that led me to doing what I do now. The Photoshop stuff is great, but I miss it, so I'm going to try to add a NEW webcomic to the mix...starting.....TODAY!
Don't know what the schedule will look like, maybe Monday-Wednesday-Friday

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she still expects to have her job in five weeks after voters head to the polls.
Pelosi, the top Democrat in the House, whose job as speaker makes her third in line to the presidency, said she would retain that position.
"I fully expect to be speaker of the House five weeks from now," Pelosi said at a NBC/Universal women's forum in Manhattan, as reported by the New York Times.

For the first time in my life I can say I completely agree with Nancy...and now Satan wants back the jacket I borrowed from him.
There is no question she will be the Speaker of the house 5 weeks from now, she'll get to keep that gavel until January 2011.....idiot.

Gargoyles have come a long way since the days when they were restricted to castle ramparts and the high exterior walls of Gothic cathedrals. Nowadays, many of us display these fascinating statues in our homes, put them up on the roof, or use them as part of a garden statuary collection. The detailed, unique appearance and history of the Gargoyle sculpture may help it fit into a wide variety of decorating themes but no one gargoyle is perfectly suited to every type of garden. In other words, certain gargoyles look better in some gardens than others.
For example, if the decor in the backyard is dedicated to cheerful gnomes and cute bunnies, the ferocious Boden the Gargoyle Sentinel statue is going to seem very much out of place. This fine, classic, intimidating gargoyle and others like it will be much more at home in a backyard that hosts classic garden statues, strong and powerful stone garden angels, and Victorian outdoor garden water fountains.
A much better gargoyle match for gardens that put the focus on cute sculptures would be a set of the hilarious Picc-a-Dilly Gargoyle Sculptures or comical Oscar, the Gargoyle with Attitude. These fun statues are so easy-going (and maybe even adorable) that they wouldn't even be capable of intimidating a house fly.
Find these and dozens of other wonderful gargoyle and dragon resin garden statues at Design Toscano today.

Winged Genie with Horned Helmet
Because most people in the ancient Near East could not read, artists developed symbols to help individuals identify the figures on palace and temple walls. As a sign of their supernatural essence, the human-headed genies in the reliefs from Ashur-nasir-pal II's palace all wear horned helmets. This association between horns and divine (or semidivine) presence had a long history in the ancient Near East. Beginning in the Akkadian Period (circa 2371–2230 b.c.) artists used bovine horns as symbols of divinity, and biblical and archaeological evidence indicates that horned altars were common in Israelite religion.

Public Psychiatry Fellowship
Now in its twenty-seventh year, the Public Psychiatry Fellowship of New York State Psychiatric Institute at Columbia University Medical Center was initiated in 1981 with funds from the New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH). OMH's goal was to facilitate recruitment and retention of high caliber psychiatrists in the public sector. Ten one-year Fellowships are awarded to young psychiatrists desiring a career in public psychiatry. Fellows spend three days a week working in a community- or hospital-based public mental health service organization selected as a placement site and two days a week in seminars, supervision and consultation with the Fellowship faculty.
Core Faculty
Jules Ranz, MD, Director - e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Susan Deakins, MD, Associate Director - e-mail: email@example.com
Stephen Rosenheck, PhD - e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Sara Kellermann, MD
Candidates for the Fellowship must have completed an accredited residency program in psychiatry or child psychiatry. In addition, the candidate must have, or be eligible to obtain, a New York State Medical License prior to entry into the program. Of primary importance in the selection process will be the candidate's demonstrated interest in public mental health issues, especially those concerned with achieving better care for poor and otherwise disadvantaged adults with severe and persistent mental illness. Other factors considered in the selection process include the candidate's interest and ability in a) working as part of an interdisciplinary team, b) psychiatric leadership, c) internal program evaluation and d) other academic endeavors.

On http://unlcms.unl.edu/ the doomsday clock is ticking away.
The FAQs don't go beyond the "asker has thought about CMS for 30 seconds" level.
The how-to videos cover only the very basic and have no transcripts for skimming.
The Guide covers only a couple narrow topics (so far?).
Asking specific people specific questions isn't really getting me answers (so far?).
I'm going to start posting my CMS issues here on the BB, until/unless somebody suggests a more effective means of communicating and organizing this kind of thing. (I can't hang out in chat. I like the BB for this purpose better than email because I can see what issues/questions others have already had and maybe even resolved--or at least I could back when this BB was getting more posts.)

Do I put each disc in and copy the contents to its own disc specific folder?

Thanks for the info everyone. I have decided to use SyncBack Pro (mainly because I already own it). I am copying each desk into its own folder based upon the time that the original DVD was created, I am then running a MD5 checksum to confirm all data was copied across (Syncback has this ability but is so slow).
Once the process is complete, I will have data on my internal drives, backed up to two separate external drives.

Posted 31 December 2012 - 03:45
Warwagon, I admire your effort. I've held off buying new larger drives but I'm going to have to take the plunge soon. I used to be a huge Seagate fanboy but ever since they moved production to China their drives have been getting terrible reviews. What make/model are your 3TB drives?
Posted 01 January 2013 - 11:05
Good Man. I love syncback pro. I backup small important files to DVD (and external drives) everything else gets put on internal / external drives. Just don't forget to also have off site external drive backups. Always plan for the worst. My personal rule of thumb is that if I buy a 1 or 2 TB data drive I buy 2 of them 1 for the data one for the backup. For Cheap external off site drives, I would recommend an e-sata dock. As it makes it cheap because you can buy regular internal drives, and fast because you can just stick one of those drives in the sata dock, back it up and pull it out.
if you really want to go overboard you can get a safety deposit box at the bank and every month rotate your backups. That's my preferred offsite backup method. As well as with carbonite, but I don't save all my large iso's to carbonite.
My personal rule is that the offsite backup is never at my house at the same time as my other external drive backup. Which is why once a month I backup to my second 3TB drive and take it to the bank to swap them out. I have 2 3TB drives
Offsite 1-1
Offsite 1-2
One stays at the bank and one stays at my house and every month they get swapped.
Also in my computer is another backup drive which backups up all my large stuff nightly.
I also have an external USB drive for my mom. Every Sunday I go to their house for breakfast. I take that drive and plug it into her computer run sync back then disconnect it and take it home with me. She also has an external nightly backup drive on her desk.

WD Green.
I just really like the easy WD RMA procedure. I know that's planning on the drives dying, but if they do under warranty they make it a far less painful procedure as others.

West Cumbrian star Gus Risman is ideal for rugby legend statue
Last updated at 21:45, Thursday, 17 May 2012
Rugby league legend Gus Risman, who guided Workington Town to the club's most famous win in the Challenge Cup in 1952, could be immortalised in stone outside Wembley Stadium.
The Rugby Football League – the sport's governing body – plans to unveil a statue of a former great of the game to depict its association with the national stadium.
There is already a statue of England World Cup winning football captain Bobby Moore outside the stadium.
Members of the Parliamentary Rugby League Group have been asked to help choose one from a shortlist of 15 nominations.
Workington MP Tony Cunningham said that Risman, who led Workington to the Wembley win in 1952, was the ideal man.
Risman's Workington side beat Featherstone 18-10 in front of 72,000 fans and, at the age of 41, he became the oldest ever rugby league cup winner.
Mr Cunningham said: "A statue of Gus outside Wembley would be a fitting tribute to a true icon of the game.
"To achieve what Gus did, and to play for as long as he played, is a massive achievement.
"Gus is the ideal candidate for a statue. He is a legend of the sport.
"You could make a case for all of the men on the list. Gus is special though. What he achieved in his career, and for his children to go on and be successful in the sport we love, shows the dynasty Gus left behind."
Workington's triumph came just a year after Risman's side lifted the Championship title.
He made 873 appearances for Salford, Workington and Batley during a 27-season career, scoring 4,052 and kicking 1,678 goals.
The MPs' vote today will be added to the choice from panels of fans, current and former players, coaches and the press.
Mr Cunningham said: "Gus is not only a Workington Town legend, but a rugby league legend and it would be fantastic if he was immortalised in this way, and that is why he gets my vote."
Also on the list is Eric Ashton, the first person to win the Challenge Cup as a captain, coach and chairman.
It also includes Ellery Hanley, regarded by many as the greatest rugby league player of all time, is also on the list.
The other players are: Billy Boston, Jonathan Davies, Shaun Edwards, Don Fox, Neil Fox, Andy Gregory, Willie Horne, Alex Murphy, Martin Offiah, Clive Sullivan, Jim Sullivan and Lance Todd.
More than 10,000 votes were cast in a public vote last November.

Have your say
Sounds good to me. Very good idea.Make sure there's something on the statue that's easy to pull or break off, like a head, arm, hand, leg or ball or something to keep the stupid vandalistic kiddies amused for a week or two.

Weekly Lesson Plan for Ross' Class
Week of: April 7-11, 2014
Lead teaching this week: Ross
Overview: Spring was here, then winter came back, and now spring is back again! Let's hope it stays, this time. Even with the cold temps and the big April snowfall, the child are happy to be back with one another, and their play reflects the strong social community that we have been working on developing through the fall and winter - the children are initiating interactions, confidently inviting others to join them, negotiating play themes, working on resolving conflicts independently...it is truly amazing to step back and see how the children's "hard work" has really paid off! Along with this social growth really shining through, the children have also become increasingly curious about learning: asking many thought-provoking questions during large group as well as throughout focus groups and free play. We want to foster this growing curiosity and start diving into some rich investigations - starting with: seed/plant life cycles, tools/wood working/building, and supporting academic skills using games with rules. These interests are just beginning to sprout like the lilies in front of the Lab School, and it will be exciting to see what these interests grow into over the course of the spring session!
Expressive Arts (paint, collage, clay)
• Materials: at the art table: small wood scraps, assorted natural matures, caps, gems; at the clay table: clay, wire, plastic insects, wood knives
• Rationale: The art and clay tables have now merged as one, as many children used the wood scraps to create elaborate "homes, playgrounds, and towns" for Herman the Worm (made from clay) and his friends Sherman the Worm and Julia Feathers (also both worms...also both made from clay!). We will continue this explorative building and storytelling, however as the intention grows, we will eventually add glue to the mix and talk about making a more "permanent" town for Herman and friends (similar to the fall and winter collages made by the children previously).
• Skills: recognition of shape, patterning, artistic expression, symbolic representation, persistence, imagination/ creativity, connections/expressions of observed world, fine motor strength/endurance
Sensory (water table)
• Materials: water, PVC pipes and connecting joints, measuring cups, buckets, basters
• Rationale: The introduction of the PVC pipes sparked rich thought and planning as children connected and re-routed the pipes, resulting in some very elaborate (not to mention creative and fun) "water machines." However, we had one problem - all the pipes were the same length and just a bit too long to balance on the table. So we decided to cut some in half! Using a hacksaw, many children took turns and cut many of the pipes in two - showing great perseverance and determination! This has sparked an explosion in using real tools, and is discussed more in the "Special Interests" section. As for the water machines, we will continue playing with how to route water in the directions we want it to go, while figuring out how to use corks (or other methods) to stop the flow in other directions.
• Skills: scientific thinking and reasoning (cause & effect), higher level thinking skills (attending, attention span, problem solving, utilization), social interaction/communication skills, fine motor skills, creative thinking, conceptual knowledge (common objects)
• Materials: Spring- and plant-themed books, assorted seeds, magnifying glasses, children's notebooks
• Rationale: This week, Jessica will introduce the topic of seeds and planting, starting with some awareness building about seed planting as well as by taking a look outside around the school to see what plants in nature are currently doing (assuming the snow stays away!).
• Skills: learning about our insects: their anatomy and how to care for them, scientific/higher-level thinking skills, observing and interpreting information about the natural world, generalization skills (connections between insect homes and other animal/human homes).
Math and Manipulatives
• Materials: Snail's Pace Race board game, Busy-Town board game, Memory flip-card game, parquetry blocks (with pattern cards), multi-triangle shape puzzle, numbers and tools puzzles and shape puzzles
• Rationale: The children have really enjoyed the challenge of the larger wood puzzles, working hard (many times with a peer) to figure out which piece goes exactly where. However, they have also enjoyed the Snail's Pace and Busy-Town games. These games have helped many practice taking turns, listening to peers, and following rules!
• Skills: concepts related to geometry/shape, part-to-whole relationships, symmetry one-to-one correspondence, counting, opportunities for collaborative problem solving, executive function skills, rule-following/turn-taking
Language and Literacy
• Materials: Our Alphabet and Name Book, Who Am I book, paper, envelopes, pencils, markers, stamps and stamp pads
• Rationale: Leaving Photobooth open on the computer gave a few children an idea for something new to add to our Who Am I book: funny faces! Currently, the children are trying to either fit as many faces on the screen as possible or taking a picture of their funniest face to add to the book. The table also sees regular visitors drawing and writing their own pictures and small books. We plan to keep the supplies stock to support this independent motivation to create!
• Skills: pre-/early -literacy skills, letter recognition, phonemic awareness, fine-motor coordination/endurance
Dramatic Play (including the "Nook")
• Materials: in the class - doctor's office props (including cot, doctor's tools, x-rays and x-ray box, charts, books), baby dolls, play house furniture and supplies; in the Nook - Brio trains, train tracks, Dr. Drew blocks
• Rationale: The doctor's office continues to see new patients every day! Many of them are baby dolls in need of a shot or bandage, however there is never a shortage of doctors to see the patients. We are planning to add more pictures of our class "in action" to help the children recall previous stories. We will also add "check up charts" as well as "height chart" and scale, as many children have mentioned they remember getting measured during their doctor visits (after talking about how many shots they received, of course!).
• Skills: imaginative/creative play, connections to previous experiences/memory skills, promoting social interactions while foster new and old relationships, practicing various social skills, symbolic representation, connection to prior experiences
• Materials: large hollow blocks, small multi-shaped unit blocks, peg people, Dr. Drew blocks
• Rationale: Independent building of large structures continues to be a popular activity for many! Garbage trucks, fire trucks, house big enough for the whole class...the list of things being built is endless. What we hope to do now is encourage more connection to the writing table during their building - "What kind of sign does this _____ need? Let's head to the table and write one quick!" This is a fun and easy way to practice the pre-/early-literacy skills for all children, especially those that are more reluctant to write/drawing in general.
• Skills: large-/fine-motor skills, symbolic representation, concepts related to building/balance/engineering, supporting social relationships/interactions, opportunities for endless dramatic play
• In the gym: The gym will remain the same for one more week, however Betsy and Jessica will begin leading games at the start of gym.
• On the playground: The playground is waking up after its long winter slumber, and as it comes back, we will keep a close eye for additional signs of spring. Also, we explore the melting and thawing taking place...not to mention the return of many more animals! I think it's safe to say...we need to be outside after this past winter!

Announcements/Special Interest
• As mentioned in the science section, using saws become a very popular activity last week! We want to build on this excitement/interest in using real tools to do real work! To do that, we have set up a "tools and woodworking" area in the hallway behind room 50 (Amy's class). With a teacher, the children can take turns exploring real tools and gain confidence in using them competently and safely! With this, if you have any scraps of lumber/wood lying in the basement/garage/storage space, we would happily help kick-off your spring-cleaning and take them here!
• It is going to be wet and muddy on the playground for sure this week. Please send appropriate outdoor clothing.

Slideshow: 18 Secrets for a Longer Life
Protect Your DNA
As we age, the ends of our chromosomes -- called telomeres -- become shorter. This makes people more vulnerable to disease. You might think there's nothing you can do, but new research suggests otherwise. In a pilot study, lifestyle changes boosted an enzyme that increases telomere length. Other studies also find diet and exercise can protect telomeres. So healthy habits may slow aging at the cellular level.
Be Conscientious
An 80-year study found one of the best predictors of a long life is a conscientious personality. Researchers measured attributes like attention to detail and persistence. They found that conscientious people do more things to protect their health and make choices that lead to stronger relationships and better careers.
Make Friends
Science has given you one more reason to be grateful for your friends -- they might help you live longer. Australian researchers found elderly social butterflies were less likely to die over a 10-year period compared to people with the fewest friends. Another analysis of results from 148 studies supports the link between plentiful social connections and longevity.
Choose Friends Wisely
Your friends' habits rub off on you, so look for companions with healthy lifestyles. Studies indicate obesity is socially "contagious" -- your chance of becoming obese increases by 57% if you have a friend who becomes obese. Smoking is another habit that spreads through social ties, but the good news is that quitting is also contagious.
Quit Smoking
While it's no secret that giving up cigarettes can lengthen your days -- the amount of extra time may surprise you. According to a 50-year British study, quitting at age 30 could increase your lifespan by an entire decade. Kicking the habit at age 40, 50, or 60 boosts life expectancy by 9, 6, or 3 years, respectively.
Embrace the Siesta
A siesta is standard in many parts of the world, and now there's scientific evidence that napping may help you live longer. A recent study with 24,000 participants suggests that regular nappers are 37% less likely to die from heart disease than occasional nappers. Researchers think naps might help the heart by keeping stress hormones down.
Follow a Mediterranean Diet
The Mediterranean diet is high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, olive oil, and fish. An analysis of 50 studies involving more than half a million people shows the impressive benefits of this diet. The findings show it significantly lowers the risk of metabolic syndrome -- a combination of obesity, elevated blood sugar, increased blood pressure, and other factors that raise the risk of heart disease and diabetes.
Eat Like an Okinawan
The people of Okinawa, Japan once had the longest life expectancy in the world. Researchers attribute this to the region's traditional diet, which is high in green and yellow vegetables and low in calories. Some Okinawans make a habit of eating only 80% of the food on their plate. As younger generations have veered from these traditions, life expectancy in Okinawa has fallen.
Get Married
Several studies show that married people tend to outlive their single counterparts. Many researchers attribute the difference to the social and economic support marriage provides. While a current marriage offers the greatest benefit, people who are divorced or widowed have lower mortality rates than those who have never been married.
Lose Weight
If you're overweight, slimming down can protect against diabetes, heart disease, and other life-shortening conditions. Belly fat appears to be particularly harmful, so focus on deflating that spare tire. A 5-year study of Hispanics and African-Americans suggests eating more fiber and exercising regularly are effective ways to reduce belly fat.
Keep Moving
The evidence is overwhelming -- people who exercise live longer on average than those who don't. According to dozens of studies, regular physical activity reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, some forms of cancer, and depression. Exercise may even help you stay mentally sharp in into old age. Ten-minute spurts of activity are fine, as long as they add up to about 2.5 hours of moderate exercise per week.
Drink in Moderation
Heart disease is less common in moderate drinkers than in people who don't drink at all. But keep in mind that too much alcohol pads the belly, boosts blood pressure, and can cause a host of other health problems. The American Heart Association recommends that if you drink alcohol, the limit should be one drink a day for women and one or two for men. But if you don't drink, don't start. There are many other ways of protecting your heart.
Get Spiritual
Research suggests people who attend religious services tend to live longer than people who never attend. In a 12-year study of people over age 65, those who attended services more than once a week had higher levels of a key immune system protein than their peers who attended no services. They were also significantly less likely to die during the study period. The strong social network that develops among people who worship together may contribute to their overall health.
Letting go of grudges has surprising physical health benefits. Chronic anger is linked to decreased lung function, heart disease, stroke, and other ailments. Forgiveness will reduce anxiety, lower blood pressure, and help you to breathe more easily. These benefits tend to increase as you get older.
Use Safety Gear
Accidents are the fifth most common cause of death in the U.S., and the top cause of death for people ages 1 to 24. Wearing safety gear is a simple way to boost your odds of a long life. For example, in the event of a motor vehicle crash, seatbelts reduce the risk of death or serious injury by 50%. In bike accidents, most deaths are caused by head injuries, so always wear a helmet.
Make Sleep a Priority
Getting enough good quality sleep can lower the risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and mood disorders. Sufficient sleep will also help you recover from illness faster. Burning the midnight oil, on the other hand, carries serious health risks. Sleeping less than 5 hours per night boosts the risk of premature death, so make sleep a priority.
Manage Stress
Dean Ornish, MD, has published research suggesting that lifestyle changes including stress management not only help prevent heart disease, but may actually reverse it. Although avoiding stress is not a viable option for most people, there are effective ways to control it. Try yoga, meditation, or deep breathing. Even a few minutes a day can make a difference.
Maintain a Sense of Purpose
Finding hobbies and activities that have meaning for you may contribute to a long life. Japanese researchers found men with a strong sense of purpose were less likely to die from stroke, heart disease, or other causes over a 13-year period compared to those with a low sense of purpose. Another study at Rush University Medical Center indicates that having a greater sense of purpose is linked to a reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease.

I know - they're terrible. You could try to register for a guided tour (http://www.bundestag.de/htdocs_e/visits ... fuehr.html), that way you don't have to queue. The other option would be to steal someone's children, because there's a side entrance for families - I'm afraid bunnies don't count.
If you manage to get up into the cupola this time, I hope you have a fine day, because the view really is great from up there.
My sister used to live in Kreuzberg and whenever I visited I could happily spend a couple of hours looking through interesting little shops there. They also have many many nice little cafes and bars
And have you been here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackesche_H%C3%B6fe Lots of galleries and shops with pretty (and expensive) stuff, but the restored art nouveau buildings are well worth looking at.
Oh, and do go to the natural history museum! I love it and want to live there!!!!* It's partly old fashioned natural history museum (dinosaurs! stuffed animals!! old books!!!) and part supermodern science fun.

I think the way everything went down that day/night absolutely strengthens and completely confirms and backs up the exact message he wanted to put across as to how the cops behave by going on this rampage in the first place.
Kinda ironic in a way that he died in the same manor as to what he was fired for reporting in the first place
He was fired for doctoring a report he made against a Female Sergeant. So they say. He may have well indeed been wronged but to do what he did was just not right.

The placenta grows throughout pregnancy. Development of the maternal blood supply to the placenta is suggested to be complete by the end of the first trimester of pregnancy (approximately 12-13 weeks).
Modern obstetric practice has decreased maternal death rates enormously. The addition of active management of the third stage of labor is a major contributor towards this. It involves giving oxytocin via IM injection, followed by cord traction to assist in delivering the placenta. Premature cord traction can pull the placenta before it has naturally detached from the uterine wall, resulting in hemorrhage. The BMJ summarized the Cochrane group metanalysis (2000) of the benefits of active third stage as follows:
"One systematic review found that active management of the third stage of labour, consisting of controlled cord traction, early cord clamping plus drainage, and a prophylactic oxytocic agent, reduced postpartum haemorrhage of 500 or 1000 mL or greater and related morbidities including mean blood loss, postpartum haemoglobin less than 9 g/dL, blood transfusion, need for supplemental iron postpartum, and length of third stage of labour. Although active management increased adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, and headache, one RCT identified by the review found that women were less likely to be dissatisfied when their third stage of labour was actively managed."
Risks of retained placenta include hemorrhage and infection. If the placenta fails to deliver in 30 minutes in a hospital environment, manual extraction may be required if heavy ongoing bleeding occurs, and very rarely a curettage is necessary to ensure that no remnants of the placenta remain (in rare conditions with very adherent placenta (placenta accreta)). However, in birth centers and attended home birth environments, it is common for licensed care providers to wait for the placenta's birth up to 2 hours in some instances.
Some cultures bury the placenta for various reasons. The Māori of New Zealand traditionally bury the placenta from a newborn child to emphasize the relationship between humans and the earth. Similarly, the Navajo bury the placenta and umbilical cord at a specially-chosen site, particularly if the baby dies during birth. In Cambodia and Costa Rica, burial of the placenta is believed to protect and ensure the health of the baby and the mother. If a mother dies in childbirth, the Aymara of Bolivia bury the placenta in a secret place so that the mother's spirit will not return to claim her baby's life.
The placenta is believed by some communities to have power over the lives of the baby or its parents. The Kwakiutl of British Columbia bury girls' placentas to give the girl skill in digging clams, and expose boys' placentas to ravens to encourage future prophetic visions. In Turkey, the proper disposal of the placenta and umbilical cord is believed to promote devoutness in the child later in life. In Ukraine, Transylvania, and Japan, interaction with a disposed placenta is thought to influence the parents' future fertility. The ancient Egyptians believed that the placenta was imbued with magical powers. In fact, the placenta of the pharaoh was placed on a pole and carried into battle. This is history's first flag. In some cultures, the placenta is eaten, a practice known as placentophagy.

This trucker followed his instructions to the letter when he was told to report to security at this factory - and drive straight through the guardhouse.
Instead of stopping at the barrier, the driver hit the throttle by mistake and sent the lorry hurtling through the wall at the plant in Anyue, Sichuan province, southern China.
"He was supposed to sign in but there was a terrible crack and the whole wall started moving towards me," said terrified security guard Liu Chen.
"I ran like the wind and the truck completely demolished my office," he added.
