Have you ever met or had a friend that daydreams and thinks their someone that their not. Come on, everyone does. You might be wondering no I have not seen anyone who’s daydreaming, or no I have never daydreamed before. However, it turned out that nearly everyone, daydreams on a regular basis, studies also indicate that as many as 96% of adults daydreams every day. But have you ever wondered why do I daydream or why don’t I know that I’m thinking daydreaming? It turned out that types of daydreams also affects how much you forget. according to Delaney and colleagues’ research. “When people working on a task were asked to daydream about their childhood home, the older subjects forgot more of the interrupted task than the younger subjects did.” Therefore this also showed that daydreams also depended on age and what you “dream” about. There are two reasons why that have happened.

Though some people may think of daydreaming as something they do unintentionally, research shows that people sometimes zone out on purpose. Research also showed that the people that have unintentionally daydream, have a different dream than someone that zone out “on purpose”.(according to findings published in March 2016 in the journal Psychological Science.) Researchers said they think that people intentionally let their minds wander during easy tasks, however, it only happens when the person knows that is an easy task or when then already know they will get a good outcome.

Moreover, people can still just wander off just because of constantly blinking and looking in one spot. They also have found that people that are doing a problem or just thanking during the moments when their minds wandered blinks more compared with the moments in which they were more focused on the task. Also ff you are stuck on a problem, letting your mind wander for a bit may help you get unstuck. this is what I call resetting the brain, it is a way of having a break from constantly thinking. It is also a way for your brain to refresh it’s thinking and review what it was doing.

In the end, daydreaming are not always bad and sometimes you need some od your own “brain space” to work things out.

Researchers at the Allen Institute for Brain Science, a Seattle nonprofit dedicated to neuroscience, have made a 3D map trace that can cover about 100 million brain cells. They hope the map will bring that understanding to a new level, the Allen Institute said. In doing so, neuroscientists will have a tool with which to develop new research programs and accelerate research already underway. They also did a lot better than the last time they tried.There are 2 reasons why they did it.

First of all, they got The result comprises an “average” of the brains of 1,675 laboratory mice, to make sure the map was as standard as possible. And Mice are common “model organisms” in neuroscience. Their brains have fairly similar structures to humans’, they can be trained, they breed easily, and researchers have already developed robust understandings of how their brains work. 

second, they traced connections between brain cells using thin slices of tissue that can be imaged and explored layer by layer. To build a comprehensive, three-dimensional map, the Allen Institute team instead broke the mouse brain into “voxels” — 3D pixels — and then mapped the cells and connections within each voxel.

After all, the two points that I said was why they succeeded. However, as time passes I think they can do better.

As some of you guys know, Elon Musk is set to launch a new batch of 60 Starlink satellites on Wednesday night. A huge amount of people has debated it on whether Elon Musk’s project well affect the sky, and some astronomers say it will block some of the Beauties in the night sky. They are going to have 1,000 satellites in orbit by the end of the year and has also been approved by the FCC to launch over 12,000 in total. Collectively they want to form a constellation of thousands of satellites, designed to provide low-cost broadband internet service from low-Earth orbit. There are some things that the satellites will help with.

First of all, Collectively they will form a constellation of thousands of satellites, designed to provide low-cost broadband internet service from low-Earth orbit. Meaning that they will be really useful and it will not cost as much. So, in general, it will be more useful and a lot more people will be able to access it.

Next, They have something called VisorSat, the new addition is said to keep the antennae on the satellites in the shade and prevents sunlight from reflecting off them by forming a barrier over the devices, making them less visible from the ground. Which will not block people’s views.

In general, I just felt like satellites that SpaceX sending satellites into space well have a more positive effect on the world. Plus a lot more people are going to be able to access them without having them blocking anyone’s vision.

Many things can happen in life, form well to bad. After bad things happen, there is not much that you can help it. when in situations like that happen, you have to be mentally strong. Therefore, there are many secrets to being mentally strong. There are three things that you will have to know. First of all thinking positively. second, only think to your self, don’t compare to others. Here are some actions that you can do to think differently.

First thing’s first, thinking positively. You can always think about things like how you can get better at something or helping someone. However, don’t overthink about your self. Such as I’m the best or nobody’s better than me. The reason for that is because when you do that you are lying to yourself. Then you will not be able to learn new things. So always think positively.

Next, don’t compare to others. When you compare to others, you start to magnifying your mistakes. Thinking to your self and doubting your self can make you feel like your the only one that’s having all the bad luck. Such as why I’m I the only person that has this, or why do they all have this but I don’t. When that happens you can always help others or learn from others, but you can’t do that if you are over there doubting your self.

In the end, always thinking positively and never compare to others can help you through your hardest times. Just remember to believe in your self and you well always got though hard times.

Coronavirus has swept through the United States and many schools had been shut down. Even when a pandemic like this is happening there are still many people who have been infected due to lack of testing. For example, to have an official count of coronavirus, they will have to test every one first. However, data shows that the cases in the United States are probably being undercounted rather than overcounted. There are three reasons why that has happened.

primarily, In “How are COVID-19 deaths counted?” by  Stephanie Pappas stats that. “Death certificates can be signed by a physician who was responsible for a patient who died in a hospital, which accounts for many COVID-19 deaths.” This means that the counts counted a great number of people that have died, died in a hospital. Therefore it means that a lot of people have not been counted because that did not get identified. Same with getting the vires.

following, the next reason that this has happened was that “Contributing factors such as heart disease, diabetes or high blood pressure would then be listed further down. This has led to some confusion by people arguing that the “real” cause of death was heart disease or diabetes, Aiken said, but that’s not the case.” says Stephanie Pappas. And this causes people to not count some of the cases that they knew. It also makes people believe that COVID-19 is not that dangerous.

The last reason that the counts for COVID-19 were undercounted was that the leader of a state or country sometimes does not tell the real count. The reason for that is so they will not make their country look bad. In my opinion, that was not a smart house because people need to have a consequential number, in this case, to get alerted. And understand how dangerous COVID-19 really is.

To draw things to a close, the numbers of COVID-19 counts need to be accurate to keep people alerted, so they can keep themselves safe.
