World Futures: Distance Learning And Teaching – Part One

Submitted by Carol A. Clark on July 4, 2020 - 12:45 pm

By ANDY ANDREWS
Los Alamos World Futures Institute

In the fall of 1989, the Cognitive Systems Engineering Group in the Los Alamos Nation Laboratory held a distance learning conference at the Inn of the Mountain Gods in Mescalero, N.M.

At the time, the two dominant terms were distance education and distance training. Distance education was the dominant terminology used by the formal education system, led by the University of Wisconsin.

In contrast, distance training seemed primarily the purview of government instructional bodies, particularly the military, plus motivated private companies.

Home Country: We’re All In The Same Boat This 4th Of July

“Ain’t the same, is it?” asked Windy. He sipped some more coffee.

“Know what you mean,” Doc said. “Doesn’t seem right, somehow.”

“Guess we got to, howsomever.”

“Afraid so.” Doc sipped some coffee, too. “But you know, there isn’t a Fourth of July parade that’s worth your life.”

To be honest, the elder folks in our community prolonged the Fourth of July plans until the last minute. I think it’s a sign of our great trust in science, scientists, and our doctors that made us wait so long before shelving the parade this year.

But if you look at it from another angle, it actually brings

Letter To The Editor: Dear Grumpy Hiker…

By MIKE BROWNE
Los Alamos

Dear Grumpy Hiker (i.e. Bruce Warren),

I appreciate and concur with most of your observations and your citations for trail etiquette.

Simply stated, all trail users should follow “Share the Trail” guidelines and RESPECT other users. I too have observed a significant uptick in trail usage during the COVID-19 pandemic.

I am thrilled to see more folks using our trail resources to maintain happiness and sanity. However, respect other users is the core tenant.

I am not going to generalize like Bruce, but I have witnessed many “slower” trail users treating the trails as private

U.S. Small Business Administration

America’s founding fathers were regular people full of fire, fortitude, and determination.

They were seeking freedom and the opportunity to forge their own path and to create their own destiny. They were willing to sacrifice to make their dreams come true.

I see that same fire and passion in the faces of American entrepreneurs. Undeterred by the claws of COVID, many are holding on to save their American Dream.

This 4th of July, the U.S. Small Business Administration would like to not only celebrate our Independence,

Letter To The Editor: Why So Many Lawbreakers In Los Alamos?

Submitted by Carol A. Clark on July 3, 2020 - 7:25 pm

By GEORGE KYRALA
White Rock

In the last week or so I have been visiting the pond area in Los Alamos to enjoy the area while eating a takeout from our wonderful restaurants.

During that time, I have noticed that more than 70 percent of the people are not wearing masks, not counting those who are eating or drinking food. 

Too many people, with too many running and screaming kids, occupy that space and do not even socially distance by the too short six feet! 

In a town with so many educated people why are so many breaking or ignoring the law with little consequence to them? We, educated people, do believe in
