I used to live in the Ozarks, and been to this late several times, so stumbled upon this and thought it would be a good one for today. The below is from justfunfacts.com:
"Lake of the Ozarks is a lake in south-central Missouri.
It is situated in the scenic Ozark Mountains about 68 kilometers (42 miles) southwest of Jefferson City.
Lake of the Ozarks is one of the largest man-made lakes in the United States.
It has a surface area of 21,850 hectares (54,000 acres) and 1,850 kilometers (1,150 miles) of shoreline.
Lake of the Ozarks is at an elevation of 201 meters (659 feet). The lake rarely varies in surface elevation by more than 1.5 meters (1.5 meters).
The main channel of the Osage Arm stretches 148 km (92 miles) from end to end.
The lake was created by the construction of the 775-meter (2,543-foot) long Bagnell Dam by the Union Electric Company of St. Louis, Missouri.
Construction of the dam began August 8, 1929, was completed in April 1931 and reached spillway.
At the time of construction, the Lake of the Ozarks was the largest man-made lake in the United States and one of the largest in the world.
It was created to provide hydroelectric power for customers of Union Electric, but it quickly became a significant tourist destination.
Most of its shoreline is privately owned. There are over 70,000 homes along the lake, many of which are vacation homes. The lake is now a major resort area, and more than 5 million people visit annually.
The lake’s serpentine shape has earned it the nickname “Puff The Magic Dragon”, which has in turn inspired the names of local institutions such as The Magic Dragon Street Meet.
Ozarks is a toponym believed to be derived as an English-language adaptation of the French abbreviation aux Arcs – short for aux Arkansas, meaning “of/at Arkansas”. Originally, in the decades prior to the French and Indian War, aux Arkansas referred to the trading post at Arkansas Post, located in wooded Arkansas Delta lowland area above the confluence of the Arkansas River with the Mississippi River. “Arkansas” seems to be the French version of what the Illinois tribe (further up the Mississippi) called the Quapaw, who lived in eastern Arkansas in the area of the trading post. Eventually, the term came to refer to all Ozark Plateau drainage into the Arkansas and Missouri rivers.
The Lake of the Ozarks is one of Missouri’s premier vacation destinations.
Lake of the Ozarks State is home to Party Cove, a gathering spot that a New York Times writer called the “oldest established permanent floating bacchanal in the country.” The Missouri State Water Patrol has estimated that the cove attracts up to 3,000 boats during the Fourth of July weekend
AquaPolooza takes place each July. Attendees gather on rafts and inflatable tubes. Live music is usually played from noon to 5pm as boaters link up their boats to one another.
At the end of every summer, the Lake of the Ozarks holds an event called “The Shootout”. It is the biggest powerboat racing event of the year at the lake, and runs over a five-kilometers (three-mile) course.
One of the most popular things to do at Lake of the Ozarks is golfing at one of many golf courses.
Located on the National Register of Historic Places, Willmore Lodge is home to the Lake of the Ozarks Visitors Center. The facility also features a museum displaying the history behind nearby Bagnell Dam.
Lake of the Ozarks State Park is a beautifull park. It is the largest state park in the state and have over 2.5 million visitors per year."

I have lost a lot of faith with the Medical Community and the Governments over the last several years, but there are a few good things that can raise above the corruption and the pushing of drugs a new approach to heal people. The following is from www.gaia.com and written by Hunter Parsons that does not involve any drug or pushing an ineffective so called vaccine that the drug company is not held accountable in any way but they use sound! The use of sound can regrow bone tissue! Here is the story:
"The future of regenerative medicine could be found within sound healing by regrowing bone cells with sound waves.
The use of sound as a healing modality has an ancient tradition all over the world. The ancient Greeks used sound to cure mental disorders; Australian Aborigines reportedly use the didgeridoo to heal; and Tibetan or Himalayan singing bowls were, and still are, used for spiritual healing ceremonies.
Recently, a study showed an hour-long sound bowl meditation reduced anger, fatigue, anxiety, and ...
Not a fan of a Defense Agency studying Anti-Gravity and other Exotic Tech, but if the commercial world and make this technology cheap that will change our world yet again. The following is about three minute read and from www.gaia.com. The below was written by Hunter Parsons:
"Wormholes, invisibility cloaks, and anti-gravity — it’s not science fiction, it’s just some of the exotic things the U.S. government has been researching.
A massive document dump by the Defense Intelligence Agency shows some of the wild research projects the United States government was, at least, funding through the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program known as AATIP.
And another lesser-known entity called the Advanced Aerospace Weapons System Application Program or AAWSAP
The Defense Intelligence Agency has recently released a large number of documents to different news outlets and individuals who have filed Freedom of Information Act requests.
Of particular interest are some 1,600 pages released to Vice News, which ...
As our technology gets better we are discovering more about the history of mankind and pushing the timeline back further and further. The following article is from www.gaia.com and written by Michael Chary that discusses this new find that changes the historical timeline:
"Over the past decade, there have been a number of archeological revelations pushing back the timeline of human evolution and our ancient ancestors’ various diasporas. Initially, these discoveries elicit some resistance as archeologists bemoan the daunting prospect of rewriting the history books, though once enough evidence is presented to established institutions, a new chronology becomes accepted.
But this really only pertains to the era of human development that predates civilization — the epochs of our past in which we were merely hunter-gatherers and nomads roaming the savannahs. Try challenging the consensus timeline of human civilization and it’s likely you’ll be met with derision and rigidity.
Conversely, someone of an alternative...
Not sure if you have heard of a show on YouTube called "The Why Files". If not you should check it out it is interesting and has some humor with it on different subjects. Last weeks was on a different theory how the Universe works and how main stream Science is attempting to shut it down like is always seems to do if it goes aguest some special interest. Today it is akin to what happened to those who questioned the Earth was the Center of the Universe that main stream so called Science all believed during the Renaissance period, They called any theory that the Earth was not the Center of the Universe misinformation. Does this sound familiar today? People laughed and mocked people like Leonardo da Vinci, Nicolaus Copernicus, Georg Purbach as crack-pots, conspiracy theorists, nut-jobs and they were suppressed and even imprisoned for their radical thoughts and observations. Again it sounds like today in so many ways. In any event this is a good one to ponder and see even if a bad idea ...
Seemingly chaotic systems like the weather and the financial markets are governed by the laws of chaos theory.
We all have heard about chaos theory, but if you have not or have forgotten what chaos theory is well here you go from interestingengineering.com:
"Chaos theory deals with dynamic systems, which are highly sensitive to initial conditions, making it almost impossible to track the resulting unpredictable behavior. Chaos theory seeks to find patterns in systems that appear random, such as weather, fluid turbulence, and the stock market.
Since the smallest of changes can lead to vastly different outcomes, the long-term behavior of chaotic systems is difficult to predict despite their inherently deterministic nature.
As Edward Lorenz, who first proposed what became commonly known as the Butterfly Effect, eloquently said, "Chaos: When the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future.""
You may have heard the term about chaos theory as a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil,...
I for one have lost trust in Medical Doctors due to COVID and reflection that they seem to push pills for everything and untested so called vaccines that is using a unproven technology because the Government and the Medical Boards of the State told them to. There are a very few exceptions. Thus they do not address the key problem just prescribe more and more pills to keep you alive an sick longer for them and Big Phama to profit from you. Will AI do any better? Well that depends on what was used for the training of AI. If it also pushes pills and vaccines without question then you have the same problems noted above. However, if the AI Training includes all possible forms of treatment and they zero in on the right issues for the true problem then there is possibilities they would be way better than most of the current Medical Doctors today.
The following is from an article from interestingengineering.com and written by Paul Ratner:
"A new study looks at how accurately AI can diagnose patients. We interview the researcher, who weighs in on AI's role ...
