Takeoff had already been pushed back from the initial 9:34 p.m. time before the mission was officially ended."The vehicle is safe and we are proceeding with the offloading sequence," the launch director was heard saying moments after the abort was called.A second attempt at a launch is scheduled for Wednesday night on July 19."Keep in mind that the purpose of the countdown is to help us catch potential issues prior to flight and there are thousands of ways a launch can go wrong and only one way it can go right," said the launch host.

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 01:35:03 GMT
Cannabis legality is confusing enough in US states. However, the 2018 US Farm Bill has helped clarify DC’s stance on hemp-derived goods, especially CBD oils. While it’s clear CBD oil is federally legal in the 50 US states, there are many questions about how this policy applies in other US territories. For instance, is CBD legal in Puerto Rico?Whether you live in Puerto Rico or plan to visit, it’s crucial to review this island’s stance on hemp-extracted CBD products. People must also constantly review Puerto Rico’s ever-changing cannabis policies.So, Can People Legally Use CBD Oil In Puerto Rico?Unfortunately, CBD oil’s legal status in Puerto Rico isn’t simple to explain. PR officials have introduced many laws regulating medical marijuana, but they have yet to directly address recreational CBD oil. Also, Puerto Rico doesn’t use the same terminology to distinguish hemp, marijuana, and cannabis as in the 2018 US Farm Bill.However, it’s clear from PR’s Act No. 42-2017 that residents can...Ray Volpe Sings a Happy Song

Ray Volpe Sings a Happy Song: DJ and producer Ray Volpe got his start in electronic music back in 2010.“It’s been 13 years now, time flies, it’s so crazy to think about,” he says. “I was in 7th grade in North Carolina, just messing around making Call of Duty montage videos to the sounds of various electronic music. That’s how I found it and that’s how I fell in love with it. I was so enamored of the massive spectrum this overall umbrella of EDM really was. House music, dubstep, drum & bass, the list goes on with so many fusions and sub-genres. I was really into electro, electro house, and dubstep at first. Skrillex was a massive starting inspiration for me. I wanted to start making music like the songs I would use for those gaming edits, so I downloaded FL Studio and just gave it a shot. Honestly, I hated the user interface. It felt unnatural to me. I totally respect FL producers, and I think I could make it work now, but it just didn’t connect with me at...Half a deer carcass spotted on Los Gatos roadway

By Kristen Rogers | CNNIn the first research to look at constipation’s impact on the aging brain, scientists have found some concerning links.Being chronically constipated, defined by the authors as having a bowel movement only every three or more days, has been linked with a 73% higher risk of subjective cognitive decline, according to research presented Wednesday at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in Amsterdam.“Our study provided first-of-its-kind evidence that examined a wide spectrum of bowel movement frequency,” said Dr. Chaoran Ma, the research’s first author and assistant professor in the department of nutrition at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, via email. “We were surprised at how strong the associations were, especially for those with very infrequent bowel movements.”About 16% of the worldwide adult population experiences constipation, but it’s even more common among older adults due to age-related factors such as lack of exercise and dietary ...Only tickets — not driving tests — can curb dangerous driving, reader says: Roadshow

Q: DMV behind-the-wheel tests should be used only for first-time driver’s tests. For the rest of us, they are a waste of everyone’s time.The worst-performing drivers I see probably are the most skilled drivers when they want to be, or they would have wrecked their cars by now with all their speeding, tailgating, cutting people off, breaking the law, and changing lanes every few yards.The DMV Driver’s Handbook lists the most common causes of collisions as driver distractions, unsafe speed, improper turns, not following the right-of-way rules, not following stop signals and signs, driving on the wrong side of the road, and traveling faster or slower than the flow of traffic. No experienced driver would do these things during a behind-the-wheel test, but some drivers do these things all the time on the road.More enforcement is the only way we are going to stop bad drivers.Pete Williams, MoragaA: You raise a good point.
