Whoever did this obviously had some farmers knowledge, and also a farmers´ mind: They did not harm any of the animals, not even the dog (until the very last day) though it must have been a hazard.

The use of the pickaxe as the murder weapon also points towards this: The victims had been hit with precision and a lot of hatred, their heads had been split but their bodies had apparently not been hit. Whoever did this must have been familiar enough with using a pickaxe to do so without thinking.

Whoever did this also must have been known on the farm, as the Grubers´ dog â€" a Pomeranian, said to be a keen watchdog â€" was first heard inside the house, but and later seen tied up and healthy, barking like crazy outside the barn by a mechanic who came to the farm on Monday. The dog was found inside the barn, hurt and frightened, by the men who discovered the dead on Tuesday. So the killer was familiar enough to the dog to be able to handle it during the three days he stayed on the farm after the murders.

The motive

The police first suspected the motive to be robbery, and interrogated several inhabitants from the surrounding villages, as well as travelling craftsmen and vagrants. The robbery theory was, however, abandoned when a large amount of money was found in the house.  Only the paper money was gone, while considerable amounts of gold coins and valuables had been left.

It is believed that the perpetrator(s) remained at the farm for several days â€" someone had fed the cattle, and eaten food in the kitchen: the neighbours had also seen smoke from the chimney during the weekend â€" and anyone looking for money would have found it.  But why, if they were not looking for money, would the perpetrators stay there for so long and keep up the appearance that someone was alive?

The day after the discovery, on the 5th of April, court physician Dr. Johann Baptist Aumüller performed the autopsies in the barn. It was established that a pickaxe was the most likely murder weapon. The corpses were beheaded, and the skulls sent to Munich, where  clairvoyants examined them without result. The autopsy also showed that the younger Cäzilia had been alive for several hours after the assault. Lying in the straw, next to the bodies of her grandparents and her mother, she had torn her hair out in tufts. The skulls were never actually returned to the bodies and the entire family has been buried without heads. The traces of the skulls have been lost in history. They very likely were destroyed when the forensic department in Nuremberg burned down during WWII.

On the following Tuesday, the 4th of April, some neighbours went to the farmstead because none of the inhabitants had been seen for several days, which was rather unusual. The postman had noticed that the mail from the previous Saturday was still where he had left it. Furthermore, young Cäzilia had not turned up for school on Monday, nor had she been there on Saturday. The family also had been absent from church on Sunday, which was unusual, given Viktoria´s position in the choir.

Inspector Georg Reingruber and his colleagues from the Munich Police Department made immense efforts investigating the killings. More than 100 suspects have been questioned through the years, but to no avail. The most recent questioning took place in 1986, but even that was fruitless.  In 2007 the students of the Polizeifachhochschule (Police Academy) in Fürstenfeldbruck got the task to investigate the case once more with modern techniques of criminal investigation. Their final report is kept secret. To this day, many hobby investigators continue to investigate the case.

Some weeks before the fatal night, Viktoria had withdrawn all her money from her bank account and borrowed some from her half-sister (Gruber was Cäzilia´s second husband), to invest in the farm. A donation of 700 goldmark was left in the confessional of the church. The priest traced it to Viktoria, and she told him it was “for missionary work”.

Exactly what happened on that Friday evening cannot be said for certain.

It is believed that the older couple, as well as their daughter Viktoria and her daughter Cäzilia, were somehow all lured into the barn one by one where they were slaughtered brutally. The perpetrator(s) then went into the house where they killed two-year-old Josef who was sleeping in his cot in his mother’s bedroom, as well as the maid, Maria Baumgartner, in her bed-chamber.

The murders

A few days prior to the crime, Andreas Gruber told neighbours about discovering footsteps in the snow leading from the edge of the forest to the farm; however, there were none leading back. He also talked about hearing footsteps in the attic and finding an unfamiliar newspaper on the farm. Furthermore, one of the two existing house keys went missing several days before the murders, but none of this was reported to the police.

Six months earlier, the previous maid had left the farm, claiming that it was haunted; the new maid, Maria Baumgartner, arrived on the farm on 31 March 1922, only a few hours before her death.

His daughter Viktoria was a popular member of the church choir, known for her beautiful voice. It was common knowledge that Gruber had an incestuous relationship with his daughter (something which, while illegal, was not infrequent in rural areas at the time), and actively prevented her from marrying again. His wife apparently suffered from the knowledge, but did little to stop things. A schoolmate of young Cäzilia´s reported in 1984 that Cäzilia was reproached for falling asleep in school on the 31st and related that the night before, there had been a severe argument in the family and her grandmother had stormed out of the house wanting to kill herself. They had searched for her for hours. (Earlier, in 1951, the same witness had stated that it had been Viktoria who they had searched for).

Even though a neighboring farmer, Lorenz S., had officially admitted to being the father of little Josef, it was rumored that the boy was in fact the fruit of the incestuous relationship between his mother and grandfather. Schlittenbauer was not the only local lad who claimed to have been with Viktoria.

Hinterkaifeck was the name of a small farmstead outside Groebern, between the Bavarian towns of Ingolstadt and Schrobenhausen (approximately 70 km north of Munich). Here, farmer Andreas Gruber (63) lived with his wife Cäzilia (72) and their widowed daughter Viktoria Gabriel (35) â€" the official owner of the farm â€" and her two children Cäzilia (7) and Josef (2).

The family was rather well-off and well-regarded, though not exactly well-liked. They are said to have kept mostly to themselves. Gruber in particular is described as a brutish, sullen loner. He is said to have beaten and mistreated his children, of whom only Viktoria survived.

Hmm, kontento ra si Botoy sa...

20 Dokdok sa TB!

18 Plan your outfit for the next day. Go get a new hairstyle, or just play around with your hair to see what looks good on you. Make sure to use a heat hair protection product if you use heat styling tools on your hair. Look in a magazine or go online to find new make-up ideas and test them out on you. It doesn't have to be all neutral make-up! Test out some crazy and fun looks too on you! Who knows, you might even find something that looks amazing on you!

19 Go outside and run around. Go play sports with a group of friends and most importantly--Have Fun!

16 Observe the outside world. Go out for a walk in the park, or just ride your bike. Think about the landscape and take photos of them.

17 The internet obviously is a good source to escape boredom. Just don't look at any inappropriate material.

14 Play board games. Don't just think of Monopoly, Clue, Snakes and Ladders. Look into German-style board games like Carcassonne, Puerto Rico, Agricola and Settlers of Catan.

15 Play some video games.

12 If it's a rainy day outside, GO outside! Put on your coat and boots and go jump in those puddles! That's some ol' classic fun RIGHT there! OR you could read a fascinating and interesting book!

13 Write a poem, song, or a book. Be creative. You might be surprised of what you can come up with!

10 Volunteer. Help others by donating your time in a local hospital or soup kitchen.

11 Go to church. Who knows--maybe you will learn something new, unless your religion observes Saturday as the worship day.

8 Play card games. Play card games. Get interesting non-standard decks for games like Pit, Tichu and Bohnanza.

9 Get with a friend or two and take a bus ride or a train ride to another town within a two-hour ride. Make sure the schedule is such that you can go and return within your Sunday free time.

6 Think about Sunday as the first day of a new week instead of the last day of an ending week.

7 Practice your musical instrument if you have one. You will get much better musically with practice, and Sunday allows you to play for several hours--longer than you would normally have time for during the week.

4 Be creative! If the Superbowl is on, for example, invite some friends over, get lots of food out and party! You can paint your faces, place bets, and take lots of pictures!

5 Make Sunday a useful day: organize your house, wash your dog, dig in the yard, do homework, and so on. At the end of the day, you will be tired and have the knowledge that something productive was done (indeed it was!).

2 Join a group that has Sunday activities every week such as a bicycling club. Then your Sunday activity will always be scheduled.

3 Arrange for sports or other athletic activities that you really enjoy. If you adore soccer, for example, don't go to the park for a picnic. Head there with some friends and kick it up!!

Are you one of those kind of fun loving, active, always-on-the-go kind of people? And do you have a boring, miserable routine on Sundays week after week? If you do, worry no more! With the following wikiHow steps, you can tackle this very issue.


19 Steps

1 Figure out what you really want to do a couple of days before the big day Sunday. Try going someplace different. Perhaps you could visit Chinatown or if you really want burgers, a fast food place, or your local mom and pop burger restaurant. Then, even if you're not that fun loving or active, you won't have such a boring day.

Sunday is pahayahay day!

The last 50 years has shown an enormous increase in human population, but also extraordinary leaps in technological innovation. The question that needs to be asked is if we can rise to the opportunity, to use our technology to better understand our impact, to stem the tide of extinction on land and in the oceans, to preserve what we have left, and to discover and understand more about our past. What the fossil record does do is to force us to contemplate our place on the planet. We are but one species of several hominids that inhabited planet earth and like our distant cousins who went extinct fairly recently, our time on planet earth is also finite. It won't take much to tip the balance against us.

Our own individual lifetimes cannot be depicted on this final sheet of the toilet roll as it would be too thin a line, yet we have been witness to more change to the planet, to the diversity of life, global climate and natural habitats in this same time period. We are undoubtedly the cause of the sixth mass extinction event that the planet has seen in its history.

To put the history of life on planet earth into a time perspective, imagine unrolling a toilet roll down a hillside. If there are 400 sheets of tissue paper in the roll, then the very first life in the oceans is seen at sheet 240. The age of the dinosaurs begins at sheet 19. Dinosaurs in their many forms and great diversity are around for 14 and a half sheets. Dinosaurs are extinct by the end of the Cretaceous, 5 squares from the end, making way for the mammals. Our story and place on the timeline as upright walking apes begins only in the last half of the very last sheet. The human story as Homo sapiens, is represented by less than 2 millimeters of this, some 200,000 years.

Technology has furnished us with a fascinating genetic story as well, allowing us to map the migration of early humans in more intricate detail than ever before. The work of Spencer Wells, a National Geographic Explorer in Residence, allows us to participate in his study by providing a cheek swab to discover how we fit in to this incredible journey of humanity. In addition, genetic research has confirmed that there was gene flow between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals. Perhaps even more surprising was the further discovery that we humans also shared genes with a totally different hominid species, only known from DNA extracted from a finger bone found in a cave in Denisova in southern Siberia.

Is The Human Race In Danger Of Becoming Extinct Soon?

In the rush of today's world, and with more than half of us now living in cities, the majority of people are less and less connected with the spectacle of Nature. How many of us stop to think about our place on the planet, and how close we came as a species to going extinct just 75,000 years ago? How many of us appreciate that all our roots are African, as Homo sapiens left the continent only some 75,000 years ago to populate the globe?

The fossil record presents an opportunity to contemplate how this human story unfolded, although we will never find the fossils that represent the complete record, as preservational events are in themselves very rare. With the discovery of Zinjanthropus at Olduvai Gorge in 1959, my grandmother Mary Leakey pioneered the research in East Africa, with my grandfather Louis. Many more spectacular fossil finds have since been made both in Africa and elsewhere, by many researchers driven to understand our past. These are exciting times, and new and often unexpected finds are announced quite regularly. Since I presented this TEDTalk in 2008, we now know of several new species of hominins from different places in Africa, including additional fossil material from Lake Turkana, helping us to understand our own genus Homo.

She declined to say if the intern was fired, but the NTSB said in its statement that "appropriate actions will be taken to ensure that such a serious error is not repeated."

It was unclear how KTVU obtained the list of names before reaching out to the NTSB for confirmation. The general manager and the news director at the station did not return emails seeking comment.

The names appear to mock the events of the crash. The prank names were: Captain Sum Ting Wong, Wi Tu Lo, Ho Lee Fuk and Bang Ding Ow.

KTVU anchor Tori Campbell later came back in the same newscast and told viewers the names "were not accurate despite an NTSB official in Washington confirming them late this morning."

"We apologize for this error," she said.

Kelly Nantel, a spokeswoman for the NTSB, said the intern was a student volunteering his time who answered phones but was supposed to pass on questions to official media representatives at the agency.

"Earlier today, in response to an inquiry from a media outlet, a summer intern acted outside the scope of his authority when he erroneously confirmed the names of the flight crew on the aircraft," the NTSB said.

The crash of the Boeing 777 plane resulted in the deaths of three teenage girls in a group of students from eastern China who were visiting the United States for a summer camp, one of whom died on Friday in the hospital. Over 180 passengers and crew members were injured.

On Friday, an anchor for Oakland, California, station KTVU read a list of the supposed names of the pilots of the South Korean carrier on its noon broadcast after an employee apparently called the NTSB seeking to verify them.

REUTERS - The National Transportation Safety Board apologized on Friday after an intern mistakenly confirmed to a local television station racially offensive fake names for the pilots of an Asiana flight that crashed in San Francisco.

"The National Transportation Safety Board apologizes for inaccurate and offensive names that were mistakenly confirmed as those of the pilots of Asiana flight 214, which crashed at San Francisco International Airport on July 6," the NTSB said in a statement.

Samtang nanagan ang tulo ka mga higala sa biktima tungod sa kahadlok, giduol na sab ang biktima sa lain na sab nga lalaki ug gitiwasan sa pagpusil sa makaduha ka higayon.

Human sa hitabo, nanakay ang duruha ka mga mamumuno sa duha ka motorsiklo padung sa wa matino nga direksiyon.

Nakuha sa mga sakop sa Scene of the Crime Operatives (Soco) ang duha ka mga basiyo sa .45 kalibre nga pistola ug ang duha ka mga deformed slugs.

Gidali pa pagdala sa mga higala sa Davao Adventist Hospital ang biktima apan gideklara siya sa mga doktor nga dead on arrival.

To one and all, young and old, fat and thin, old and new and recycled TB members, have a happy weekend!

It is the saddest thought of all, that what we are to others, that we are much more to ourselves, â€" avaricious, mean, irascible, affected, â€" we are the victims of these faults. If our pride offends our humble neighbor, much more does it offend ourselves, though our lives are never so private and solitary. How many young finny contemporaries of various character and destiny, form and habits, we have even in this water! And it will not be forgotten by some memory that we were contemporaries. It is of some import. We shall be some time friends, I trust, and know each other better. Distrust is too prevalent now. We are so much alike! have so many faculties in common! I have not yet met with the philosopher who could, in a quite conclusive, undoubtful way, show me the, and, if not the, then how any, difference between man and a fish. We are so much alike! How much could a really tolerant, patient, humane, and truly great and natural man make of them, if he should try? For they are to be understood, surely, as all things else, by no other method than that of sympathy. It is easy to say what they are not to us, i.e., what we are not to them; but what we might and ought to be is another affair.--Henry David Thoreau

"Contrary to previously published studies comparing BMI and waist circumference, the presence of abdominal fat improved the ability to predict for cardiovascular disease, supporting the hypothesis that abdominal fat may partially underlie the association of body fat and heart disease and cancer," said Caroline S. Fox, MD, MPH, senior author of the study and a senior investigator at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute Laboratory for Metabolic and Population Health in Framingham, Massachusetts.

The study relied on CT (computed tomography) scans to locate areas of fat deposits in 3,086 subjects, whose average age was 50 years. Nearly 50 percent of the subjects were women, and all of the participants were followed for up to seven years.

A waist size of 80 centimeters or larger for a woman and 101 centimeters for a man is considered risky, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Why that pot belly isn't good for you

If you're carrying too much fat around your midsection, here's good motivation to trim the tummy: a new study finds that people with abdominal fat have a higher risk for health problems.

US researchers found that having excess fat around the abdomen increases your risks for both cancer and heart disease. People with belly fat had a higher cancer risk than people with the same amount of fat on their bodies but whose fat was located in other areas, such as hips or thighs.

Hmm, the same parehas...

The common potato is a member of the Solanum genus and a kissing cousin of deadly nightshade. Like nightshade, the potato produces large amounts of substances called glycoalkaloids, particularly one nasty strain called solanine. This poison is the potato’s defense mechanism that keep it from getting eaten, and is most concentrated in the leaves, stems, and shoots. Spotting any green on the skin of the potato is a sure indication of the presence of solanine. Most commercially available potatoes are carefully cultivated for low levels of the poison, but it is possible to get one with a high amount present, and people have died from ingesting potato solanine. While cooking can reduce the level, every potato you eat gives you at least some small amount of exposure. -- http://listverse.com/

Hmm, Hinapon kaha...

The next day, he deserted and gave a note explaining himself to a cook at headquarters. He was finally taken to a lieutenant colonel who promised that he would not be punished if he changed his mind and fought, but he staunchly refused and requested a court-martial. His unit was about to begin fighting in the Hurtgen Forest, where the US Army experienced its worst combat in history. He thought he would only be imprisoned for the remainder of the war.

Instead, faced with a rapidly rising number of desertions, the Army sentenced him to death. He pled to General Eisenhower and was refused clemency. Major General Norman Cota defended the Army’s decision, vilifying Slovik as “a coward of the lowest order.”

Slovik was executed by firing squad on January 31, 1945 outside Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, France. A volley of 11 .30-06 bullets peppered his chest and somehow did not kill him immediately. He died after three minutes of asphyxiation and exsanguination. He had stated, “They’re not shooting me for deserting the United States Army . . . They’re shooting me for the bread and chewing gum I stole when I was 12 years old.” Family and supporters have petitioned every president since 1945 for Slovik’s exoneration, none of whom have granted it. -- http://listverse.com/

Slovik remains the only American soldier since the Civil War to be executed for cowardice and desertion. He was a petty criminal who had been paroled twice from prison. Most importantly, he was drafted into the Army against his wish, having just married. On October 8, 1944, he asked for permission to refuse front-line duty and was warned not to say such things.

Matud pang Paller, girekomendar sa municipal health officer nga ipaawtopsiya ang lawas ni Alaban aron makumpirmar ang resulta sa post-mortem exam.

Ang kapulisan sa Malabuyoc nangita na usab karon sa mga tawo nga mikulata sa maong suspek alang sa posibleng pagpasaka sa kasong pagpatay.

Si Alaban, kinsa bag-ohay lang naabot gikan sa Saudi Arabia, giingong adunay gipamati sa lawas dihang nahitabo ang krimen.

Matud pa sa hepe sa Malabuyoc Police Station nga si Chief Insp. Roseller Paller, ang resulta sa post-mortem examination nga gihimo sa municipal health officer sa Malabuyoc ngadto kang Alaban nagpakita nga namatay kini tungod sa “intracranial haemorrhage secondary to traumatic head injuries.”

“Makita nga ang pagpamun-og g’yud ang hinungdan namatay siya,” sigon pa ni Paller, ang post mortem examination dili susama ka kompleto sa awtopsiya.

Gikan sa Malabuyoc, si Paller mibiyahe paingon sa dakbayan sa Sugbo kagahapong adlawa bitbit ang letter request nga iya unyang ihatag sa PNP Crime Laboratory aron maawtopsiya pag-usab ang lawas ni Alaban.

MANILA, Philippines - LeBron James, the NBA’s reigning back-to-back MVP and regarded as the best player on the planet today, is coming to Manila on July 23.

Nike Philippines yesterday made the announcement as part of its “Leave a Message” campaign designed to inspire young Filipino athletes to strive for greatness and perhaps be like the Miami Heat superstar.

Water Safety Rules to Teach Every Child

Don’t go near water without an adult.

Never dunk another child.

Don’t run on the pool deck or boat dock.

Always jump in feet first.

This final note is an important reminder, mostly for me and my irrational fear:

Water should be a source of exploration and fun for children. Just make it a point to be alert and follow some basic water safety guidelines for children.

At the beach be observant of strong undertows and rip currents that can easily sweep children (and adults) underwater.

Be aware that small pools of water including landscaping (i.e. koi ponds) can be a source of danger. The arm’s length rule applies in yards as well.

Know the signs of drowning because they look nothing like the thrashing and screaming you see on TV or in the movies. The real warning signs are quiet and often missed.

As best you can, try to remove toys and other enticing play objects from around the pool. This is difficult for us because we have an older child and we’re always guests at someone else’s pool. We try to establish the rule that “toy” playing happens outside the pool area.

Consider swim lessons â€" which I need to do. This is not a guarantee against drowning but it can provide a foundation for water safety rules and proper swim etiquette. I read that the best programs follow the national YMCA guidelines for swim instruction which advise instructors not to submerge young children and encourage parents to participate in lessons.

Always drain tubs, kiddie pools, water buckets, or anything else after use.

Stay within arm’s length of children near water. I’m embracing my inner helicopter!
Always have your mobile phone nearby. The thought of not having a phone at all times sounds silly in today’s age. But I always check anyways â€" those few minutes could save a life.

Be sure home pools are completely enclosed by a fence. We don’t have one but we spend a lot of time at my brother’s pool. The bigger kids are always coming in and out of the gate to the pool area â€" usually squeezing by Owen and typically not securing it properly. My husband and I always stick right near him to lock the gate and prevent “the toddler chase” into the danger zone.

So, I’ve been gathering water safety advice and tips for my splash-loving toddler. Here they are:

Life vests are a must around pools, lakes and large water sources. There’s no flexibility on this one with Owen, unlike with his sister who would calmly let us hold her at this age. I read to be sure to get one that fits properly and not to substitute with inflatable options.

Take an infant/child CPR class. It’s been many years since I’ve taken it but definitely need to start looking into a local course. At the very least, it will make me more relaxed knowing I have the tools to save him if something unthinkable happens.

My toddler son loves water. I knew from his very first tubby that I had my work cut out for me. He splashed and giggled and splashed and wiggled and wiggled some more. Oh boy, I knew I was going to have to deploy children’s water safety tips if we both were going to survive to his teenage years.

There is a lot of goodness about his aquatic joy. I love that a simple bucket of water or a faucet can keep him amused for hours. But, as he becomes more adventuresome, his complete lack of fear around water scares me. A LOT. There are few things I have irrational fears about, but my child drowning is one of them. I try not to be a helicopter parent, but anytime Owen is near water, I am right on top of him.

And it’s a good thing because we’ve had some incidences. Like just this past weekend when he wiggled out of daddy’s arms and decided to run around the hotel pool. He had on his life vest but he was giving us his “C’mon and chase me” grin which is never a good sign.
