Two Anatomical Models, 17th Century.
A pair of models with removable chest and abdomen covers. Some religious restrictions on dissection were lifted in the 15th century, which led to the wider study of anatomy, using models like these as extra teaching aids. Both figures show the heart and lungs. One shows a pregnant female with a baby in the uterus, and the other the kidney and intestines in a male.

(Cannabis Fantastic) An ESPN analyst who was once an NFL player himself, told the Detroit News that more than half of NFL players smoke marijuana. Lomas Brown was a first round draft pick for the Detroit Lions in 1985, and went on to play 18 seasons before he became a sports analyst.
The Detroit Lions have had several players arrested for marijuana crimes recently. Three players of the 2011 draft class for the Lions are facing marijuana possession charges. Nick Fairly, a first round pick, was arrested for marijuana possession in Mobile Alabama last month after speeding through a neighborhood in his Escalade. Johnny Culbreath was also arrested earlier this year, and another promising player, Mikael Leshoure was arrested twice this year for marijuana possession. Last week Leshoure pleaded guilty on one of the charges and paid $575 in fines plus he will be required to finish a treatment program.
All three players will be facing consequences from the NFL, and will most likely face routine drug testing for 24 months from the league. Leshoure will be subject to two to three drug tests a week, a much more strict program than one that is imposed by the courts. All three players will most likely face game suspensions as well.
