➡️ Cambodia
➡️ Georgia
➡️ Jordan
➡️ Montenegro
➡️ Uzbekistan

✅#Artemis II update: Day 5, Orion is moving at 1536 km/h, 356 379 km from Earth and 89 967 km from the Moon. One last look at Earth before arriving at the Moon (pic: NASA). See nasa.gov/missions/artemis-ii…
ALT Looking through one of the four windows of the Orion spacecraft, a crescent Earth is illuminated against the blackness of space and grows smaller as the crew journeys closer to the Moon. This image was taken by an Artemis II crew member on the fifth day of the mission.

Over 30% of honey on store shelves is adulterated - cut with sugar syrups, hidden additives, or even fake altogether.
Real honey is made by bees, not labs. Support local beekeepers, read labels, and look for raw, unfiltered options.

Among the least likeable of human beings are bullies, and those who toady to them. Trump – Putin’s Poodle – manages to combine both: his arrogant bullying of Zelensky, in the service of his barfworthy toadying to the Russian bully.
