RM2HJCJMP–Ham in his flight couch, after his flight. On January 31, 1961, a Mercury-Redstone launch from Cape Canaveral carried the chimpanzee, Ham, over 400 miles down range in an arching trajectory that reached a peak of 158 miles above the Earth. The mission was successful and Ham performed his lever-pulling task well in response to the flashing light.
RMT952WT–Signs for hunger, thirst, supplication, and so forth, among both Inuit Indian and ancient Egypt - as indeed many other peoples, both in the old world and the new, whose writing has not reached a purely phonetic state - have that correspondence to be expected when things common to all men are graphically represented. An ideogram or ideograph is a graphic symbol that represents an idea or concept, independent of any particular language, and specific words or phrases.

The Armada reached and anchored outside Gravelines, but, while awaiting communications from Parma's army, it was driven out by an English fire ship attack. In the ensuing battle, the Spanish fleet was forced to abandon its rendezvous.

RMT96MAA–Silk manufacture in China: two women working at a loom. Engraving published by Carington Bowles (1724-93). Silk fabric was first developed in ancient China, with some of the earliest examples found as early as 3500 BC. The silk trade reached as far as the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, Europe, and North Africa and was so extensive that the major set of trade routes between Europe and Asia came to be known as the Silk Road.The best-known type of silk is obtained from the cocoons of the larvae of the mulberry silkworm Bombyx mori reared in captivity.
