“If a person remains tranquil within a verbal dispute, he or she can easily have the ability to come to a resolution in an argument and avoid physical altercations.”
Saaif Alam

Steven Magee
“As a manager in high altitude astronomy, if you report to the upper management team that their staff appear sick and that they are displaying behavioral problems, it was my experience that they respond by notifying you that your contract will not be renewed and that you will be terminated without notice if anyone complains about you! High altitude astronomy is a very shady industry that only functions by ignoring worker health and safety issues.”
