GALTx eNews: The Dog Days Are Here!

According to the Farmers’ Almanac, the dog days of summer officially run from July 3 to August 11 each year. The expression doesn’t have as much to do with dogs as you might think. The Dog Days are the days during which the Sun occupies the same area of the sky as the star, Sirius. Except for the Sun, Sirius is the brightest star visible from Earth. It is part of the constellation Canis Major, which means “Greater Dog.” 

Sirius’s appearance near the Sun coincides with the hottest days of the year in the northern hemisphere. The Romans called this time "dies caniculares,” meaning "days of the dog star." They blamed the star for the heat and for the increased incidences of unrest, lethargy and disease that came with it. Ancient writings also mention increased dog attacks during the days of the dog star and suggest feeding dogs chicken manure as the solution. We do not recommend this approach. Egyptians, on the other hand, welcomed the appearance of Sirius near the Sun because it coincided with the flooding of the Nile and a time of plenty for them.

Eventually, we started referring to the days of the dog star as just the “dog days” of summer. For reasons that are not clear, some people formed a belief that, in addition to causing madness in dogs, liquids become poisonous such that bathing, swimming, and consuming water should be avoided during the dog days. Health advisors of the 16th century also advised against purging during the dog days. Fast forwarding several centuries, the pioneers of the American west believed bright, clear dog days brought a happy year end but that rainy dog days led to despair and heartache for the rest of the year. 

In 2009, a study intended to test old myths related to the Dog Days found a statistical increase in the number of infections during that time. Whatever your personal beliefs regarding the dog days, we think you’ll agree that Sidney Hall clearly understood the meaning of Canis Major when he chose a Greyhound for his illustration of the constellation (pictured) for his Urania’s Mirror, which was originally published in the early 1800s.

So far, four of Trumps co-defendants have pleaded guilty to committing election fraud in Georgia.

Jenna Ellis

Kenneth Chesebro

Sidney Powell

Scott Hall

Although their plea bargains have received penalties that are largely slaps on the wrist, they are sure to testify again Trump. Hopefully this will eventual lead to Trump finally paying for his crimes.

@tabswrites tagged me in this game and I'm gonna leave it as an open tag as I am lazy and these are not my best words.

As always, game beneath the cut, and this one is from NYTF per usual. (Spoiler alert for middle of book 1)

Dr. Panya looked up at Marlowe, the first time xe wasn’t looking at Lennox since xe had stepped in the room, “From where? Where did you come from?” Piers spoke up this time, “It’s an old church, just outside the Perimeter, where I’ve been sneaking out to. Lennox, they’re my friend-” Suddenly, something forcibly banged against the door to the hallway. Loud arguing soon ensued, at least three voices, one of which Piers recognized as Marcie. Dr. Panya sighed, smiling ever so slightly and fixing xir gaze on Piers. “Of course you’d manage to befriend him.” “What is that supposed to mean?” They asked. Dr. Panya responded with another question, “What has René told you?”
