SpaceX launch of 60 Starlink satellites

On the night of June 8, 2020, SpaceX launched 60 more of its Starlink satellites. Starlink satellites are internet satellites that provide cheaper internet for people back on Earth. They launched from Falcon 9 Rocket in Florida. So far, SpaceX has launched 482 internet satellites into space. Elon Musk, the founder and owner of SpaceX, said that they plant to have at least 1000 satellites in orbit by the end of the year.

Some people might be concerned that all the satellites SpaceX is putting into space is going to cause light pollution. But these new Starlinks will have additional features, which will help decrease the visibility of the satellites from the ground. The installed visors called VisorSat work by preventing sunlight from reflecting off of the satellite. But there is still a problem. Scientists and others are complaining that the satellites are blocking their view of the stars and the sky. They also say that their telescopes on the ground aren’t working as well because of the satellites.

The reason Elon Musk is sending all of these Starlinks into space is to provide internet at a lower and more affordable cost. Eventually, internet will be available everywhere all over the globe. This provides a great opportunity for people who live in secluded or poorer areas to be able to access the internet. Soon, everyone will be able to search things up or connect with others through the internet.

Forced Social Isolation Causes Neural Craving Similar to Hunger

People need to connect with other people and maintain relationships. It is a fundamental necessity. But with the COVID-19 pandemic, everyone is forced to stay home, and are unable to meet others in real life. The effects of normal loneliness and forced isolation are different. A study on mice showed that when they were forced to isolate themselves from other mice, they started to want more social engagement. This connects to people, which supports the theory that being social is a basic need for humans.

In a study conducted by Livia Tomova and Rebecca Saxe, some subjects fasted for a full day, while others were in isolation for a full day. They found that people who were more lonely before forced isolation wanted to socially interact with others less than people who weren’t as lonely before. There is a “social homeostasis” hypothesis, which is that animals evolved to want to connect with others.

Personally, I don’t need much face to face interaction. Talking, chatting, or going on an online meeting is enough for me. When I chat online, I can think more about what I’m going to say and lower the chances of me messing a conversation up. Also, communicating online is more convenient, because I can go into a call anytime I have free time. I would like to see my friends in real life, but I don’t crave it a lot.

3 Tips for Better Sleep Habits

Sleep is a very important part of everyone’s lives. But not everybody knows exactly how much they should sleep. Each person actually has a different amount of time they should sleep. The number of hours someone should spend sleeping also changes between age groups. Infants and young children should get more sleep, while older people should get less sleep. It mostly depends on the person. Even though it might be hard to figure out your own sleep style, there are three tips that can help.

The first tip is that you might be trying too hard to get too much sleep. There’s a difference between being tired and being sleepy. Being sleepy means that your body needs to get sleep, but being tired means having low energy or being mentally exhausted. If you feel sleepy, then get sleep. If you can’t fall asleep, then use that time for something else.

The second tip is to get more sleep if you aren’t getting enough sleep at night. This can be caused by just generally not getting enough sleep. It can also be caused by a sleep disorder. If you have a sleep disorder, then you should go to a doctor, as sleep disorders can damage your health. Another reason could be that your sleep schedule is messed up. If this is the case, the next tip will help you the most.

The third and final tip is wake up at certain time consistently. It’s also important to have the amount of sleep you get be consistent. Sleeping for different amounts of time or waking up at different times can confuse your body, which can cause sleepiness or insomnia. The most important thing though, is to wake up at the same time or around the same time every day.

Everyone has a different body, and should get their own sleep schedule. It might be a little difficult to make the change and start sleeping consistently, but it will be worth it. Getting the right amount of sleep is important. It’s not healthy to get too little sleep, but it isn’t health to get too much sleep either. Find a balance, and you will feel better.

A good man is hard to find

The main character, the grandmother, is selfish. She only cares about herself and what happens to her. She doesn’t want anything bad to happen to her so she does whatever she can to get her way. She dwells on the past and thinks she knows about everything.

One reason the grandmother is selfish is because she doesn’t care about what others think, including her family. Her entire family wants to go to Florida, while she wants to go to Tennessee. She keeps protesting, even though everyone is against her idea. Even though she gives in, she still selfishly brings along her cat as an act of rebellion.

Another reason the grandmother is selfish is because she tricks the family into trying to find the plantation. She is the only one who wants to see the plantation, but nobody else wants to. So she tells the children that there is a mystery inside the house on the plantation. The children whine and throw a fit until their parents drive them to see the house. But the grandmother remembered incorrectly, and the plantation she was thinking of was in Tennessee, not in Florida.

The last reason the grandmother is selfish is when they meet The Misfit, a murderer/bandit, after a car accident. The car accident was the grandmother’s fault, because when she remembered that the plantation was actually in Tennessee, she kicked the cat that she brought along as a petty act of rebellion. The cat jumped onto Bailey, the grandmother’s son who was driving, and he swerved the car off the road. Then The Misfit and his friends show up. First, they kill Bailey, then his wife and children. At first, the grandmother is saying that The Misfit wouldn’t kill a lady, but when that doesn’t work, she switches over to saying that he’s a good man. Finally, as a desperate last attempt, she says that if he lets her go, he can redeem himself for his past crimes. The whole time, she is only trying to get herself out of this situation, and none of her family.

How COVID-19 deaths are counted

COVID-19 is a major problem that everyone in the world has to deal with. The coronavirus causes many problems to those who have it, such as difficulty breathing or being confused. It can even cause death. But dying from COVID-19 isn’t the same as dying with COVID-19. This sometimes causes false reports of the number of coronavirus cases in a region.

Everytime someone dies from COVID-19 in a hospital, the doctor who took care of them signs a death certificate. If a person dies from COVID-19 outside of a hospital, then the case would be given to an examiner. There is sometimes some confusion around what the real cause of death is for a patient with coronavirus, but if they didn’t have coronavirus, they probably wouldn’t have died.

Some people who die from COVID-19 have other ailments such as coronary artery disease or kidney disease. Because of this, in some rare cases it is hard to determine whether someone died from COVID-19 or just had COVID-19 when they died. But it usually isn’t difficult to confirm what killed them. Most deaths from COVID-19 are due to the reason that the virus causes lung problems in patients.

Coronavirus case counts aren’t always accurate. In fact, they rarely are. In the US, different states have different methods of confirming cases, which means the collected data isn’t always reliable. But even though the different states’ data might not be completely accurate, it is still important. Even just a rough estimate is good enough. This is important so the government can make decisions based of the evidence.
