LLNL - The True Story -

  https://ladailypost.com/former-los-alamos-national-laboratory-director-terry-wallace-retires/ Terry C. Wallace, Jr., Los Alamos National Laboratory’s former director, retired from the Laboratory on June 30. I have to say I have not heard many people say anything good about Terry Wallace. I sis heard him make some snide comments about Pete Nanos so at least he has something going for him.

https://ladailypost.com/nnsa-approves-critical-decision-1-for-savannah-river-plutonium-processing-facility/ WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) has announced the approval of the Critical Decision 1 (CD-1) milestone for the recommended approach to produce at least 50 plutonium pits per year for the Savannah River Plutonium Processing Facility (SRPPF) project at the Savannah River Site (SRS). So from what I hear LANL wants all the pit production. There is some talk that SRS cannot do it or will fail and all the money will have go toward LANL. The plan I think right now is to put every resource we can from LANL into pit work so when and if the time comes to chose between SRS and LANL (1) Either it all goes to LANL or (2) LANL will be abole to keep a good portion of the pit work for the foreseeable future. Right now the entire future of LANL rests on becoming a pit facility.

  When Anxiety Becomes a Disorder Some will claim they have an anxiety disorder, but they may end up having everyday anxiety. On the other hand, others may think their chronic anxiety is something normal. In this post, we will differentiate between regular and chronic anxiety. First, What is Anxiety? Anxiety is a normal human response to life’s dangers. When you feel anxious, your body may seem restless. You may sweat, feel nausea, or have other symptoms that make you fear off. Feeling anxious is a natural survival instinct. In modern times, it even has its uses. You may feel anxious for a first date or feel uneasy due to a speech. Some levels of anxiety can help you prepare for significant events. If you’re anxious about a first date, you may try harder to take care of yourself. If you feel anxious over a test, you may spend extra time studying. However, if you have excessive anxiety, it may lead to you having mental health issues. When Anxiety Affects You The anxiety issue is tha...

  This blog is very close to becoming useless and irrelevant to me, a 30 year employee and now retiree of the labs. I used to like seeing what was new and what was controversial at the labs, and who was in or out. Now it is just filled with political garbage and woke nonsense. Scooby has lost his mind and his previously pretty solid direction. So it goes. I'll check back in a few months to see if sanity has reestablished itself here, on a purportedly scientifically-focused blog. Carry on, as you will.

  Scientists are to blame. The public is starting to blame science itself for Covid. Could the labs be the next to be blamed? https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jon-stewart-coronavirus-wuhan-lab_n_60c835ace4b07e543bbd50fe Stewart began on Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show” on Monday night. “Science has in many ways helped ease the suffering of this pandemic ― which was more than likely caused by science.”

  For over a year, we have had to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. Although there does seem to be light at the end of this tunnel, it'll still be a while until things return to normal. It has been tough on our mental health, too. Life transitions can happen, but we have been in a world of constant struggle that never seems to end. It makes sense that some people may feel like their mind isn’t at the right place. You may be suffering from what’s now referred to as cognitive dulling. This post will look at cognitive dulling, its symptoms, and what you can do about it. What is Cognitive Dulling? Cognitive dulling is not a diagnosable condition but instead describing a series of mental health issues that have appeared since the COVID-19 pandemic. With COVID-19, many of us have been trapped at home, have feared getting the virus or spreading it to someone else, or haven't been able to see other people. The impact of the pandemic has lead to several mental health issues. Symptoms of...

  Not remembering colleague's name the next hate crime? The Cost of Being an ‘Interchangeable Asian’ https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/06/business/the-cost-of-being-an-interchangeable-asian.html White-collar professionals are preparing to return to the office after more than a year of working from home. It hasn’t been a year of just video calls and Zoom happy hours, though. In the aftermath of the police killing of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement that soon swept the nation, it’s been a year of reckoning over racial injustice in America. In the corporate world, that injustice manifests in unequal career opportunities for professionals of color. The country has also seen a rise in hate crimes against people of Asian descent, with victims who have been beaten, verbally assaulted and, at worst, killed. In response, many companies have begun “diversity, equity and inclusion” programs aimed at recalibrating their office cultures to be more supportive of minority workers. B...

  The Importance of Getting Some Sleep By Marie Miguel It’s been difficult for many of us to get sleep in the past year. From pandemic worries to financial problems, troubled sleep seems to affect us all. However, getting some sleep is essential if you want to take care of yourself. In this post, we’ll talk about the importance of sleep. How Much Sleep Do You Need? Everyone is different, but the ballpark is 7-8 hours. Some may need a little more; others need a little less. However, getting that ballpark certainly is an excellent place to start. Many of us don't get the sleep we need. There are only so many hours in the day, after all. We end up staying up late or having trouble falling asleep due to what's on our minds. Here are some reasons why you should consider getting more sleep. To Keep Your Weight in Check Poor sleep can make you gain weight, putting you at risk for diabetes and heart disease issues. The reason is that your body makes ghrelin, an appetite boosting hormo...

Generalized anxiety disorder is when one has frequent anxious episodes. OCD, ...
