North Carolina, particularly the 8th District, has long played a key role in our Nation's military forces.
I have taken part in ceremonies with North American and Mexican shamans, as well as Brazilian ceremonies.
I need to be looking at what's important in North Carolina, and you better believe that's what I will do.
I randomly went to a casting session in my hometown in North Carolina, and the casting director introduced me to my manager. I really lucked into it!
If you look at the various strategies available for dealing with a new technology, sticking your head in the sand is not the most plausible strategy.
If we attempt to block the development of new technology, we effectively have ensured that the most responsible parties will not develop them.
We shouldn't build a technology to colour, or grey out, what people say. The media in general is balanced, although there are a lot of issues to be addressed that the media rightly pick up on.
The true God He has extension, and form, and dimensions. He occupies space; has a body, parts, and passions; can go from place to place. He can eat, drink, and talk.
God the Father and God the Son cannot be everywhere present; indeed they cannot be even in two places at the same instant: but God the Holy Spirit is omnipresent - it extends through all space, with all other matter.
We have learnt through experience that when an electrical ray strikes the surface of an atom, an electron, and in some circumstances a second and even a third electron, can be detached.
I feel, sometimes, as the renaissance man must have felt in finding new riches at every point and in the certainty that unexplored areas of knowledge and experience await at every turn.
I am a Protestant. I am a communicant at the Church of the Holy Family, an Episcopal church in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
Successful technologies often begin as hobbies. Jacques Cousteau invented scuba diving because he enjoyed exploring caves. The Wright brothers invented flying as a relief from the monotony of their normal business of selling and repairing bicycles.
The development of quantum mechanics early in the twentieth century obliged physicists to change radically the concepts they used to describe the world.
Once we started to urbanize, we put ourselves on this treadmill. We traded away stability for growth. And growth requires change.
Climate change is analogous to Lincoln and slavery or Churchill and Nazism: it's not the kind of thing where you can compromise.
People are seeing the impact of climate change around them in extraordinary patterns of floods and droughts, wildfires, heatwaves and powerful storms.
The removal of an electron from the surface of an atom - that is, the ionization of the atom - means a fundamental structural change in its surface layer.
It's easier to change what you do than people think it is. If you don't change, your field changes around you.
My father, who had previously been a civil engineer, died in the great influenza epidemic of 1918.
It's childish, but it still gives me great pleasure to see high-res pictures everyone told me would be impossible.
