Description:
On May 13, 1964, NASA launched the second abort test of the Apollo spacecraft.<br/><br/>This uncrewed mission would demonstrate that the launch escape system could safely eject the Apollo command module in case of an emergency. For the first test, the command module ejected just above the launchpad 15 seconds after liftoff. But the second time it stayed on top of the rocket for 44 seconds. It reached an altitude of almost 30,000 feet, which was six times higher than it went during the first test. By doing the test later in the flight, NASA was checking to see if the escape system worked well under high dynamic pressure. In other words, the rocket was under more mechanical stress because of the aerodynamics of its flight. It lifted off on a Little Joe II rocket from the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, and the abort test went mostly according to plan. The Command Module did bump in to the booster after they separated, and that damaged one of its parachutes. Thankfully it had two more parachutes, but the landing was still pretty rough.

_german-steamship-wreck-may-hold-looted-treasures-from-russian-palace.webp "The wreck of a German steamship sunk at the end of World War II found by divers, with the crates on board the submerged vessel holding the precious furnishings of the lost 18th century Amber Room, which German soldiers looted from a Russian royal palace.<br/><br/>The shipwreck was located north of the Polish seaside town of Ustka, at a depth of 290 feet (88 meters), after more than a year of searching for it on the floor of the Baltic Sea, said Tomasz Stachura, who led the discovery. Stachura is one of the founders of the Baltictech dive team. By a curious coincidence, the wrecked ship has the same name — Karlsruhe— as a WWII German warship found off Norway last month, which was sunk in 1940. Both ships were named after a city in Germany.")
_how-to-make-sure-you39re-getting-the-real-deal-with-botox-cosmetic.webp "Over the last two decades, BOTOX Cosmetic has become a household name--making it the number one selling product of its kind, the one approved to temporarily make moderate to severe forehead lines, crow's feet lines and frown lines look better in adults. But people may forget, it is a medical procedure. Many people are interested in learning more about getting treated and there is only one BOTOX Cosmetic, but how do you know you're getting the real BOTOX Cosmetic? This FDA approved one-of-a-kind formulation through its manufacturing process and scientific rigor can temporarily improve the look of three areas--moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet lines, and forehead lines in adults. Board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Michelle Henry teamed up with Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company-the makers of BOTOX Cosmetic, and the only authorized suppliers of BOTOX Cosmetic in the US-to show us how to ensure product safety, quality, and efficacy. What happens in many cases is people use the word 'Botox' ubiquitously, not specifically for BOTOX Cosmetic. The FDA has stated BOTOX Cosmetic is 'not interchangeable,' which means that its safety and effectiveness cannot be claimed by any other product. There are no substitutes for BOTOX Cosmetic. Potential flags to look out for: significantly discounted product may indicate it's not the real deal, supplier claims their product is 'equivalent to BOTOX Cosmetic' or 'approved in another country,' and lastly, if it feels too good to be true, it may be. It's extremely important to only go to medical professionals who are licensed and trained to provide aesthetic treatments both for safety and to help you achieve your desired outcomes.

Confused and surprised, Yori asks her friends for consultation, but they tease her by saying that she is experiencing love. Yori soon makes up her mind and tries to return Himari's feelings, but in a twist of events, she realizes that what Himari loved was not her, but her music! As Yori continues to pursue her love for Himari, she promises to make Himari fall for her. However, will this passionate love bloom or remain unrequited?")
_in-search-of-tigh-na-cailleach-with-alison-campsie.webp "After around ten miles on foot through Glen Lyon, the shrine to the powerful Celtic goddess of Cailleach came into view, at last. Amid a shock of May sunshine and a warm wind that blew me along the path by the loch, there it stood in powerful isolation.<br/><br/>To see it there, cradled by the mountains and decorated with recent offerings of fruits, nuts and flowers, was more than worth the walk, which I had daftly extended due to a mishap on the map. By the shrine, the clock on the long, hot day suddenly stopped as hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years of belief and respect for this mythological figure made their presence felt.<br/><br/>Tigh Na Cailleach, or House of the Old Woman, is where the giantess of Celtic folklore is remembered in the place she is said to have lived, bringing great prosperity.")
