Falling Into Jupiter

Twenty-five years ago, an object roughly the size of an oven made space history when it plunged into the clouds of Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system. On Dec. 7, 1995, the 750-pound Galileo probe became the first probe to enter the gas giant. Traveling at a blistering speed of 106,000 miles per hour, the probe’s protective heat shield experienced temperatures as hot as the Sun’s surface generated by friction during entry. As the probe parachuted through Jupiter’s dense atmosphere, its science instruments made measurements of the planet’s chemical and physical makeup. The probe collected data for nearly an hour before its signal was lost. Its data was transmitted to Earth via the Galileo spacecraft, an orbiter that carried the probe to Jupiter and stayed within contact during the encounter. Learn more about the mission.

The Galileo probe was launched to space aboard space shuttle Atlantis in 1989

The probe consisted of a descent module and a protective deceleration module

The probe traveled to Jupiter attached to the Galileo spacecraft

The probe was released from the spacecraft in July 1995

The probe entered Jupiter’s atmosphere five months later on Dec. 7, 1995

Parachutes were deployed to slow the probe’s descent

The probe collected science data for 58 minutes as it fell into the planet’s atmosphere

The Galileo probe was managed by NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley.

Couldn’t find any themed workout for RWBY that I like, so I made my own!

If you’re going to try any of these out make sure you hydrate, take breaks, and do any modified versions of the exercises if it’s easier!

Drive w/ DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) Books

I thought I’d share some DBT books that I’ve found in case anyone finds them useful! Click here for a small Drive folder of 8 books (will add more if I can find more or if anyone has recommendations!)

If you don’t know what DBT is: DBT stands for dialectical behavior therapy and was initially developed to treat borderline personality disorder (BPD), but has also been used for other mental illnesses. Personally, I’ve used DBT for anorexia, generalized anxiety disorder, depression, and OCD with therapists, so I know it’s at least used for those disorders. DBT was first developed by Marsha M. Linehan, a psychologist who has BPD herself, which I think is interesting and important since in my experience, it can be difficult to find clinicians who can actually relate to the experience of having a mental illness. One of the best things about DBT in my opinion is that you can do it yourself! My personal experience in DBT has mostly been as a patient in formal hospitalization or partial hospitalization settings, but it’s very adaptable, so I think it’s great if you are unable to access therapy or other resources.

There are four basic modules of DBT: mindfulness, which is based on accepting one’s present situation without judgement; distress tolerance, which focuses on developing skills to get through intense emotions or crises without resorting to self-destructive behavior; emotional regulation, which emphasizes recognizing and adjusting emotions; and interpersonal effectiveness, which focuses on communication skills with others. Personally, I find distress tolerance and emotional regulation the most helpful, but everyone’s different!

Honorific verbs

These are special verbs to describe the actions of people you respect. Here i will write the verb table as:

Verb = honorific verb (with the irregular conjugation if needed)

行く・いる・来る＝いらっしゃる　(Irregular form= いらっしゃいます)

食べる・飲む＝召し上がる　ー　めしあがる

くれる＝くださる　（Irregular form= くださいます）

する＝なさる　（Irregular form= なさいます）

寝る＝お休みなる

みる＝ご覧になる　ー　ごらんになる

言う＝おっしゃる　（Irregular form= おっしゃいます）

ーている＝　ーていらっしゃる　（Irregular form= ーていらっしゃいます）

It’s important to note that this replacement applies to all compound verbs such as 勉強する＝勉強なさる

Because these are honorific verbs to show respect, you shouldn’t use them to describe yourself. Instead they may be used for a teacher or someone you do not know very well. 

Some activities do not have specific honorific verbs, so instead we use either:

1) Using ていらっしゃいます instead of ています if the sentence uses ている。

Example- 先生は電話で話していらっしゃいます= the professor is talking on the phone.

2) Using お+ verb stem +になる

先生はもうお帰りになりました= The professor has already gone home

The discovery of fossilized human footprints in White Sands New Mexico dating to 23,000 years ago is revolutionary for a lot of reasons and one really important one is that it thoroughly obliterates the settler colonial notion that the indigenous peoples of the America’s never had extensive contact with horses prior to the introduction of domesticated feral populations descended from the horses that came over with the Spanish in the 1400′s. It’s currently believed that horses went extinct in North America between 12,000 and 11,000 years ago which gives us an at least ten thousand year window where humans and horses coexisted in North America.
