Don't be Controlled

Those who like to instigate social discord, are at work on social media (and the news media). Some of them are based in hostile foreign countries. Others, use the continuous fighting to gain power, without ever having to use logic. The continued dive into injustices of the past that none of us were originally here for, and that there are no great fixes for, seems less productive than if we focus on how we can unite and make things better in the present. If you and your best friend ONLY talk about the time that you wronged each other, you probably will not be best friends for very long. Stop allowing others to control you. All I need to do is look around, to see people of different races and backgrounds interacting with each other in positive ways. Some are friends, some are mixed race families, some are neighbors and some are just people being people. If you focus on the negative, you become a pawn of someone else's malevolence. If you choose to be positive and see the progress, you both strip the power of those who mean us harm, and you become a positive force.

Robert Nettles IV, SPRUCE Project Operations Manager at Oak Ridge National Laboratory . I went into the site fueled primarily by my lifetime of interest in the natural environment; as well as my interest from volunteering as a park ranger in the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. However, by the time I was done, my interest in technology, from over 10 years as an IT professional, was thoroughly peaked! Definitely off the "beaten path," in a spruce bog in Northern Minnesota, this site boasts an incredible array of scientific equipment that is supported by an amazing technological infrastructure! There are control sites and some of the chambers have added heat, carbon dioxide, or both. A lot of equipment and experimental testing goes on 24/7, 365 days per year. These guys know their stuff. The 10 chambers are connected ...

Measles Outbreak?

The people dying from measles are unvaccinated. This is preventable. Those who are pushing misinformation are participating in the cause of these deaths.
