The dosage and timing for pre-vaccination is EITHER: - 50mg diphenhydramine (Benadryl) OR 50mg promethazine (Phenergan) 15 minutes before the shot OR - 20mg cetirizine OR 20mg loratidine 2-3 hours before the shot Only take one of those (ie, don't take Benadryl AND cetirizine).

NASA recently tried to save the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory from re-entering the Earth's atmosphere (the orbit decayed due to Sun-Earth interactions). Unfortunately, they could not save it, so they turned this moment into a space physics modelling challenge. As Homer once said "crisitunity"☀️

Email to the CEDAR space physics community. The beginning reads: "Dear Community Members,

NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory was launched in 2004 to detect and monitor gamma-ray bursts. After 21 years of science operations, Swift’s low Earth orbit began to rapidly decay because of increased solar activity. Swift is expected to reenter later this year, around November. More information and news about Swift can be found at https://science.nasa.gov/mission/swift/.

Thermospheric density is the dominant source of uncertainty in the atmospheric drag and associated satellite orbit determination and reentry. Thermosphere models estimate neutral density, composition, and temperature based on the solar and geomagnetic drivers. To make advances in orbit computation and determination, accurate specification and forecasting of the thermosphere are required. The uncontrolled Swift reentry event provides a natural experiment opportunity to test community capabilities for thermosphere mass density forecasting, in particular, at VLEO below ~300 km untill it reaches ~100 km. The goal of this research modeling challenge is to evaluate the sources of error in orbit predictions, ranging from model inputs, solar and geomagnetic driver prediction, model accuracy, the debiasing/drag coefficient tuning process, and orbit propagation."

Here are a few more shots of Artemis, Pan and their friends. Corgis are very welcoming as long as the treats keep flowing.

Several dogs begging a human for treats.
Pan the corgi is other wise preoccupied

Many dogs begging the human for tweets. Pan and Artemis are all in.

Discworld QOTD, from The Wee Free Men

Witches are naturally nosy,” said Miss Tick, standing up. “Well, I must go. I hope we shall meet again. I will give you some free advice, though.”
“Will it cost me anything?”
“What? I just said it was free!” said Miss Tick.
“Yes, but my father said that free advice often turns out to be expensive,” said Tiffany.
Miss Tick sniffed. “You could say this advice is priceless,” she said, “Are you listening?”
“Yes,” said Tiffany.
“Good. Now...if you trust in yourself...”
“Yes?”
“...and believe in your dreams...”
“Yes?”
“...and follow your star...” Miss Tick went on.
“Yes?”
“...you’ll still be beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren’t so lazy. Goodbye.

An important thing we’ve been practicing for YEARS already with our 3 year old twin boys. “Can I give you a kiss?” And if they say “no” we don’t give them a damn kiss. They now ask us, too, and we practice that it’s okay to be disappointed and also FINE if we ever say no. This is about Cornell.

Happy national fox day 🦊 I didn't even know that was a thing until after I finished this design, ahah! #formline #indigenousart #telekitneticart #nationalfoxday

A formline design of a red fox. The background is a gradient dark teal, and the fox is a striking rust-orange, with gradienting darker umber on its snout and tail, and pale yellow chest/ear fluff and tail tip. It has it's tail wrapped around it's body, hiding its legs. It's head is angled to the left side.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.
