The only thing you need to know is the date and time of the Moon's approach to a planet.

Adventure isn't something just for daredevils and skydivers. It's something for all of us who want to live well. Adventure makes us feel more fully awake, alive, and free. It feeds us with the energy and excitement of exploration, discovery, and surprise. It even comes with a physiological response, with norepinephrine (a neurotransmitter that increases alertness and arousal) and elevated respiratory and heart rates.

The Last Supper is Leonardo's visual interpretation of an event chronicled in all four Gospels. The evening before Christ was betrayed by one of his disciples, they all gathered together to eat, Jesus told them he knew what was coming and wash their feet (a gesture they were equal). As they ate and drank together, Christ gave the disciples instructions on how to eat and drink in the future in remembrance of him. It was the first celebration of the Eucharist, a ritual still performed.

Some of radio's greatest moments are when the actual event occurs live on the air or while a reporter is recording and the unexpected happens. The actual broadcast was broadcast the next day, using the reporter's tape recording, and my dad told me he heard it ''live'' on the radio, everyone assumed it was happening at the moment, not the previous day. Today, it would definitely be ''live'', but in 1937 things didn't happen so quickly.

There are many types of drawbridges that are either in use today or have been in the past. These range from floating pontoon bridges, bridges that lower themselves down into the water to allow boats to pass above and even a bridge with a single, narrow, hand removable plank that allows for only the masts of sailboats to pass through. But the most common types found today can be divided into three main categories. These are the Swing Bridges, the Bascule Bridges and the Vertical Lift Bridges.

Because of the crater's young age and the dry climate Meteor Crater is the best preserved impact crater on Earth. No humans were living in the region when the impact occurred. The asteroid was small in astronomical terms, just a 150 feet across. Traveling at around 8 miles per second the force of the asteroid impact on the ground was tremendous.

Known to some as the ''Freshwater Everest,'' if you want to explore this mountain, you don't go up, you go down. Discovered in 1929 in the middle of Lake Superior, sits the Superior Shoal, a mountain that's completely underwater.

Its peak wrests about 30 feet below the surface. Now, researchers are exploring it with underwater drones. copy text from graphic here and target URL below

The term 'fifth estate' refers to the newly developed power of influence that non-traditional media has developed within society. Proponents of the fifth estate suggest that it can be used to hold governments and corporations accountable. However, others argue that non-traditional media can also be used to spread misinformation.
The Fifth Estate is a socio-cultural reference to groupings of outlier viewpoints in contemporary society, and is most associated with bloggers, journalists publishing in non-mainstream media outlets, and the social media or ''social license''.

Because these insects are so tiny, they can get in through window screens. Once inside, they lay eggs on the skin of very ripe or fermenting fruit. They reproduce, and before you know it, you've got yourself a full-fledged fruit fly infestation.

Voters rightly expect prompt results after the democratic process of casting ballots. Voter confidence in election outcomes suffers when winners and losers are not promptly announced. If Americans do not have confidence in the results of our elections, our entire system of government is imperiled. Russian dictator Josef Stalin is often quoted as saying '' The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything'', but historians now say he never actually said it. copy text from graphic here and target URL below

Kamala Harris says one of the Biden team's biggest mistakes was holding her back and preventing her from realizing her full potential as vice president. Harris complained the White House refused to give her easy jobs that required no talent or effort. Kamala definitely was a DEI hire, with Biden folding under pressure to make his running mate a black woman, and while not an African American, her partial Jamaican heritage could pass for that. copy text from graphic here and target URL below

First dates are full of suspense. That’s what makes them so exciting and so miserable at the same time, that your next couple hours could exist literally anywhere on the spectrum of human enjoyment. You might feel immediately that you’ve met your better half, the person who completes you and you’ll spend the rest of your life with. On the flip side, you might still meet the person you’ll spend the rest of your life with — but only because you’ll be strung up in a refrigerated meat locker by daybreak.

People tend to think that they can change more than is realistic to expect. A study in which obese women participated in a 48-week weight loss program, before treatment, many of these women defined an ''acceptable weight'' as a 55-pound loss and a ''disappointed weight'' as a 37-pound loss. However, they ended up losing, on average, 35 pounds; 47% of the subjects did not even meet their 'disappointed weight.'' In this study, a significant change was defined by many of the women as a failure.

In the course of one year, Earth orbits around the sun. It does not complete this trip, however, with the North Pole at the top and the South Pole at the bottom because Earth is tilted. In fact, it's tilted just about 23.5 degrees. So at different times of the year, either the northern or the southern hemisphere is tilted toward and is therefore closer to the sun.

Battered Husbands of the World, Unite!
Joe Biden has found a new purpose in his post-presidential years, having formed a new support group for battered and abused world leaders with French President Emmanuel Macron. ''I am a battered world leader and I want to help other world leaders know that that's okay,'' Macron said. ''It's not your fault.'' The idea to put together a formal support group was born out of a phone conversation after Macron's humiliating beat-down by his wife Brigitte. Macron reportedly reached out to Biden, another abused politician, to gauge his interest. ''Hot dog, Macron! That's the most swell idea I've heard since that time that clean young negro boy Obama told me to run for President,'' Biden reportedly said during the phone call. ''We're going to help people. No, I'm serious. Not a joke, man. Think about it. My flimgizzdle has a chicken on the gribble, Jack.''
