What do you usually do when you feel bad? Is there anything you can do to get over the feelings? Here are some steps you can follow.
1. Take deep breaths or count down numbers.
Accept your feelings first. Taking deep breaths or slowly counting to 10 will help you calm down in a short time.
2. Speak out how you feel and what you wish for.
Tell your true feelings and wishes. Just speak them out. People will know what you want then, which is important for solving problems together.
3. Ask for help.
It is okay to ask for help when you don’t feel that you can solve the problem alone. Ask your parents or teachers for advice to find better ways.
4. Take the time to calm down.
Sometimes you may still feel bad, even having tried each of the above steps. If so, it is better to walk away to do with those feelings. Several days later, you may not feel as strongly about what happened.
5. Look back before you look forward.
After getting over the feelings, you can learn something from it. Think about the reasons and the ways you use. Next time, when you have the bad feeling again, you’ll do better.

NASA is ready to send six little satellites into space, but it will take about three years to reach space. Those satellites can be able to help scientists keep a closer eye on heavy storms, and they develop a task called TROPICS to send the satellites to space. Importantly, the satellites will help us make a big difference in watching coming heavy storms.
At the moment, NASA’s weather satellites can only check in on a storm every four to six hours. “So we’re missing a lot of what’s happening in the storm,” Bill Blackwell, at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory, said. However, the new set of six satellites will allow researchers to check in on a storm about every hour.
After sending the satellites, scientists will put them in a perfect place to watch the areas where most storms are born, from the center of America to the south of Australia. Each satellite is just under 0. 3 meters long with a powerful machine that’s about as big as a cup
of coffee. The small machine can measure heat and light produced from O₂ and H₂O in the air, then the data will be sent to the Earth.
It will bring many advantages. First, the data measured by the TROPICS satellites will help researchers study better how a storm grows. They can even build a 3 D model of a storm developing with the help of satellites. Also, scientists will know when the storm will come and get people to safety as soon as possible. Just like last year, hundreds of people died because of Storm Ida coming overnight. It won’t happen anymore.
