St Peter, the 'Rock'
Peter, who was also known as Simon Peter of Cephas, had humble beginnings and became one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus. Peter was a native of Bethsaida, near Lake Tiberias and was the son of Jonah. He and his brother Andrew were fishermen on Lake Genesareth. The Bible chronicles when the brothers met Jesus in Mark chapter 1, which reads: As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the sea—for they were fishermen. 17 And Jesus said to them, "Follow me and I will make you fish for people." 18 And immediately they left their nets and followed him.
Just like that, Peter followed Jesus and his life was changed forever. Though he was one of the first disciples called to follow Jesus and eventually became the spokesman for the group, Peter is known for his "little faith."
Another famous story is Peter's attempt to save Jesus from the soldiers who came to take Him to his doom. As described in John 18:10-12, "Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. Jesus said to Peter, 'Put your sword back in its scabbard; am I not to drink the cup that the Father has given me?' The cohort and its tribune and the Jewish guards seized Jesus and bound him."
Following the failed attempt to save Jesus, Peter was recorded denying Jesus, which The Saviour foretold during the Last Supper in Mark chapter 14: "Peter said, 'Even if all fall away, I will not.' And Jesus said to him, 'In truth I tell you, this day, this very night, before the cock crows twice, you will have disowned me three times.' But he repeated still more earnestly, 'If I have to die with you, I will never disown you.' And they all said the same."
Regardless of his claims, Peter did deny Christ three times. Following his resurrection, Christ came before his disciples several times. John:21:12-23 describes an instance when Peter is given three chances to admit his love for Jesus, and each time he says he does.
"Jesus said to them, 'Come and have breakfast.' None of the disciples was bold enough to ask, 'Who are you?' They knew quite well it was the Lord. Jesus then stepped forward, took the bread and gave it to them, and the same with the fish.
"This was the third time that Jesus revealed himself to the disciples after rising from the dead. When they had eaten, Jesus said to Simon Peter, 'Simon son of John, do you love me more than these others do?' He answered, 'Yes, Lord, you know I love you.' Jesus said to him, 'Feed my lambs.'
"A second time he said to him, 'Simon son of John, do you love me?' He replied, 'Yes, Lord, you know I love you.' Jesus said to him, 'Look after my sheep.' Then he said to him a third time, 'Simon son of John, do you love me?' Peter was hurt that he asked him a third time, 'Do you love me?' and said, 'Lord, you know everything; you know I love you.' Jesus said to him, 'Feed my sheep.
"In all truth I tell you, when you were young you put on your own belt and walked where you liked; but when you grow old you will stretch out your hands, and somebody else will put a belt round you and take you where you would rather not go. "In these words he indicated the kind of death by which Peter would give glory to God. After this he said, 'Follow me.' St Peter is a poignant reminder to all of us that even when we fail Jesus, his love is greater!

Улица Гран Виа ("Велики пут") је урбана улица у централном Мадриду, Шпанија. Води од Calle de Alcalá (Улица Алкала), близу трга Plaza de Cibeles, до Plaza de España (Шпански трг). Улица, која се понекад назива и "шпански Бродвеј", једно је од најважнијих градских трговачких подручја, са великим бројем хотела и биоскопа-позоришта; међутим, од краја 2000-их, многа од ових позоришта заменили су тржни центри.

Гран Виа служи као излог архитектуре препорода са почетка 20. века, са архитектонским стиловима који укључују стил Бечке сецесије, Плетерски стил, Нео-маварски стил, Арт Деко, између осталих.

Историја

Почетак
Средином 19. века мадридски урбанисти одлучили су да треба створити нову саобраћајницу која повезује Улицу Алкала са Шпанским тргом - слично Хаусмановој обнови Париза. Пројекат је захтевао рушење многих зграда у центру града, чиме је пројекат добио име "ударац секиром на мапу". Деценијама након што су откривени први планови, радови и градња су каснили због чега су медији исмевали пројекат, цинично га називајући "Гран Виа" или "Велики пут". Коначно је 1904. године одобрен, а градња започета 1910. године. Последњи део улице завршен је 1929. Крајем марта 2018. године, градско веће Мадрида започело је формирање пешачке траке у сваком смеру у плану да се продуже тротоари и преуреде неки тргови око улице. То је било повезано са увођењем зоне Мадрид Централ, приоритетног подручја становања, касније 2018. године.

Имена
Гран Виа у Мадриду имала је многа историјска имена, како званична, тако и незванична. Концепција је пут поделила на три дела. Први је изграђен између 1910. и 1917. године и звао се Calle del Conde de Peñalver ("Улица грофа од Пеналвера"). Други део пројекта започет је 1917. године, а завршен 1921. године. Назван је Calle de Pi y Margall по преминулом политичару. Изградња трећег и последњег дела пута започела је тек 1925. године и названа је Calle Eduardo Dato ("Улица Едуарда Датоа") по имену другог политичара.

Три месеца пре почетка шпанског грађанског рата, Друга шпанска република променила је нека имена улица под левичарским утицајем. Два прва дела авеније звала су се Avenida de la C.N.T. Када је започео грађански рат, авенија је преименована у Avenida de Rusia ("Авенија Русије") због подршке ове државе Шпанској републици, али ускоро ће њено име бити промењено у Avenida de la Unión Soviética ("Авенија Совјетског Савеза"). Међутим, авенија је популарно добила надимак Avenida de los obuses ("авенија хаубица") због континуалних бомбардовања од стране националистичких снага лојалних Франсиску Франку. Разлог за ове нападе на овом подручју био је тај што се "Edificio de Telefónica" (шпанска телефонска компанија) налази у овој улици, и због своје висине служила је авијацији као референтна тачка током гранатирања.

Непосредно по завршетку рата када су побуњеници ушли у Мадрид, пут су преименовали у Avenida de José Antonio ("Авенија Хосе Антонио") по једној од њихових највећих политичких личности, оснивачу фашистичке странке, Фаланге. Тек ће 1981. године, у време шпанске демократије, када је социјалистички градоначелник обновио имена 27 улица, авенија једноставно бити названа Гран Виа ("Велики пут").

Значајне грађевине

Нови пут створио је могућности за архитекте, који су имали прилику да направе велике зграде у најновијим архитектонским стиловима. Прва упечатљива зграда која  је међу најпознатијима је зграда Edificio Metrópolis или Метрополис. Изградили су је између 1907. и 1911. године отац и син архитекте Жил и Рејмонд Феврије. Оригинална статуа компаније замењена је 1975. статуом крилате богиње Викторије.

Нешто даље дуж Гран Виа, са леве стране, налази се још један оријентир, Edificio Grassy, још једна угаона зграда са малим торњем, изграђена 1917. године. Одавде је видљив торањ зграде Телефонике, првог европског небодера; изграђена је између 1926. и 1929. године за шпанску телекомуникациону компанију. 88 метара висока  зграда је била највиша у Мадриду, а пројектовао ју је Американац Луис С. Викс.

Тргови

Даље према Шпанском тргу, Гран Виа пресеца мали трг, Plaza del Callao, назван по бици код Калаоа. Овај трг је срце кинематографског Мадрида, са око шест биоскопа. Један од њих, Капитол, налази се у прелепој згради у стилу Арт Деко. Међутим, нове промене у правилима градње омогућиле су реформу позоришта у уносније тржне центре.

Последњи део улице Гран Виа, изграђен између 1925. и 1929. године, води до Шпанског трга, великог трга којим доминирају два небодера изграђена педесетих година, симетрични Edificio Grassy и Torre de Madrid (Мадридски торањ). Овде Гран Виа постаје Calle de la Princesa, водећи ка северу до Arco de la Victoria.

У медијима

 Ла Гран Виа (1886) је сатирична оперета у којој се  улице Мадрида у људском облику жале како ће град изгубити њиховим уништењем и заменом новим пројектом.
 У сцени научно-фантастичног/хорор филма из 1995. Дан звери, Сантијаго Сегура виси изнад Гран Вие са култне неонске рекламе за Швепс.
 У уводној сцени филма "Отвори очи " Алехандра Аменабара из 1997. године чувен је шокантан поглед на Гран Виа потпуно празну од возила и људи. Ово је снимљено рано ујутро током викенда у августу 1996. године, а улица је морала бити повремено затварена за саобраћај током шест сати да би се то постигло. Овај снимак је касније искоришћен за амерички римејк, Небо боје ваниле, на Тајмс Скверу у Њујорку.
 Гран Виа је такође наслов албума Мата Бјанца из 1995.
 Сунце се поново рађа Ернеста Хемингвеја завршава се у таксију на Гран Виа.
 На крају романа Жоржа Коншона из 1959. године "La Corrida de la victoire" главни јунак - бивши војник Шпанске републике, који је побегао из Шпаније након Франкове победе - донкихотовским и пркосним гестом  шета последњи пут улицом Гран Виа у августу 1939. године, под великим ризиком за свој живот, јер су у то време заробљени републиканци често били стрељани.

Former NASA astronaut Leland Melvin aims to help the next generation reach for the stars
By Chelsea Gohd published 12 December 21
"We made it 'mission possible' for those kids," Melvin said.

Former NASA astronaut Leland Melvin is working to help the next generation reach the same lofty heights that he did.
Melvin, a retired NASA astronaut, completed two space shuttle missions to the International Space Station during his tenure, one in 2008 and the other in 2009. But in the years since then, Melvin has been hard at work following in his parents' footsteps.
Looking to the example set by his parents, who were both educators, Melvin told Space.com, he's been connecting with youth around the world through a series of free online classes he teaches with the platform Varsity Tutors.
"I think the most rewarding thing that I have gotten from flying in space is, you know, coming back and empowering other people to believe that they can do this, too," Melvin said.
Melvin's next Varsity Tutors class, called "Your Astronaut Questions, Answered," will take place on Dec. 27.

"I'm just trying to honor her legacy, because she was a school teacher," Melvin said about his late mother. "I think about, you know, the kids that were trying to inspire the little girls … My mom's looking now; she's proud. She's happy that I'm trying to carry on her legacy."
Melvin shared that he moved back to his hometown of Lynchburg, Virginia, and "people seek me out in my hometown to tell me, not that, 'Hey, you're a great astronaut,' … they tell me that 'Your father taught me' or 'Your mother taught me.'"
He also shared the story of coming home from one of his spaceflights and attending a parade in Houston. Melvin shared that he was on a fire truck with former astronaut Robert Kirby in the parade, and "he taps me on the shoulder and points back to these two little boys, two little African American boys with their dad, and they both have on … orange pumpkin suits. And their dad points, taps them and says, 'Look right there,'" Melvin said.
Former NASA astronaut Leland Melvin reads to first and third grade students from the book "The Moon Over Star" at Ferebee-Hope Elementary School in Washington, D.C. while serving as NASA's associate administrator for education in 2011. Melvin retired from NASA in 2014. (Image credit: Carla Cioff/NASA)
"It was almost as though the father injected rocket fuel into their little bodies, because they just started spinning, they saw someone who looked like them. They had on their flight suits, we had on our flight suits. And it was instantly one of these moments where we locked eyes and we made it 'mission possible' for those kids," he said.
Melvin shared some more examples of times when he's seen the power of inspiration with his very eyes. He also revealed how impactful it has been that he's been able to share these stories of space and science with underrepresented communities and kids.

For example, he talked about a school group with which he was able to share a song beamed back from Mars.
"These kids," Melvin said, "they're black and brown kids that historically have been underserved, underrepresented, no access to opportunity and a lot of times no belief in themselves … We were able to instill that belief in them through that moment."
"Breaking down all those things that can help them see the pathway is so important. So important," Melvin said. "We want kids to dream. And in those dreams, they will solve the problems to saving our planet, to helping our climate, to bring us together."

These cat names all came out of a random cat name generator so don't judge. I'm sure they would be better names if they were for dogs.
You could argue that the while loop is a little easier to read than the for loop because it doesn't handle all of the logic of the loop in the head. Performance differences are all over the board.
The while loop tends to be faster in most current browsers, but there are plenty of instances where they are dead-even and even a couple of times when for measures marginally faster. However, if you're looking for a general rule, the while loop typically comes out ahead.
Obviously, this is the most clean and readable native way to loop over an array. The forEach method is a prototype of the Array, which makes it very simple to use. The main issue with forEach is browser support. Any versions of Internet Explorer before IE9 do not support it. If you are supporting IE8 and below, you can easily polyfill forEach, but that is another discussion for another time.
Depending on what perfs you look at, forEach typically comes out behind the for loop. I have seen instances where this is the opposite as well, so take that with a grain of salt.
According to the perfs, the underscore version is two or three times faster than the jQuery version. The lodash version, which looks exactly the same as the underscore version is about 4 times as fast as jQuery in most browsers.
My personal preference is not to use jQuery for utility methods. JQuery does a great job with traversing the DOM and normalizing browser interaction, but I personally prefer to leave lower-level utilities to something else, such as lodash that only focuses on providing utility fast methods. End of rant.
In the end, I would say that the native forEach and the lodash _.each method are the most readable. ForEach is problematic in the browser because of backwards compatibility. _.each is not quite as fast because it is not native and every level of abstraction inevitably gives you a performance hit.
In most smaller apps, _.each should be sufficient. If you are working on something with a ton of looping where performance is vital, the while loop is a pretty solid choice, although you may take a small maintainability hit with it. When I'm working on a server-side service, I usually go with forEach because it works everywhere and it is readable and pretty fast.
In the end, the main thing is consistency. All of these options have their pros and cons, but the last thing you want is to randomly select different choices throughout a project. When you use one of these methods, make sure you know why one is better than the others.
What do you think? How do you weigh the options when it comes to deciding between maintainability, performance and browser support?

Hands-on with the OnePlus 6
YOU GOT TECH - Abe Olandres - The Philippine Star
June 4, 2018 | 12:00am
Hello: The OnePlus 6 is predictably good – excellent in the hardware department, nicely designed with great build quality – making it the best value for your hard-earned money.
We have to hand it to OnePlus when it comes to pushing forward with their release cycle. Just a few months after releasing the OnePlus 5T, the company already announced a successor – the OnePlus 6.
OnePlus phones have always been labeled the flagship killer and that's really intentional. You get the latest mobile hardware and pack it in a nice design for almost half of what other brands offer and you certainly expect something different and exciting.
The OnePlus 6 sports a rather large 6.28-inch full HD+ AMOLED display, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 CPU and either 6GB or 8GB of RAM with storage options of up to 256GB.
This year is quite a big surprise as OnePlus decided to slightly revamp their usual design. It's still distinctly OnePlus at first glance but some placements and layout had to be moved around. Call it a polished version of the OnePlus 5T.
The simple yet elegant look, build quality and finish, as well as the subtle touches here and there make the OnePlus 6 a beautiful and solid device.
There were some sacrifices to cut costs, and these are intentional, of course – like the use of a full HD resolution instead of a quad HD or 4K screen. Frankly, we don't see any difference between a full HD or a quad HD on a six-inch display so we don't really feel shortchanged here. Huawei touted the same reason with their P20 Pro: The benefit of having a longer battery life is well worth it.
The other more obvious design treatment is the notch. OnePlus figured everyone is doing it so why not with the OnePlus 6. Good thing they added an option in the settings to hide this.
At first, there seems to be nothing special with the dual camera setup of the OnePlus 6. You get a 16MP main sensor paired with another 20MP shooter, which is limited to merely depth-sensing, a feature to allow portraits that come with those creamy bokeh images in the background.
Where the OnePlus 6 does very well is in video. The camera can shoot 4K at 60fps. That's with both optical image stabilization and electronic image stabilization for smooth shots and better low-light performance. There's also slow-mo but it can only do 480fps at 720p.
Photos and videos looked really great. Exposures are well-maintained, details are nicely preserved, and color reproduction and accuracy are just about right.
Running the software department is OnePlus' very own OxygenOS 5.1 layered on top of Android 8.1 Oreo. If you've been an avid user of OnePlus devices, then the operating system will feel right at home. Despite being a customized OS, the whole interface feels like vanilla Android. It has a very simple and straightforward interface, no bloatware, and is fluid and smooth to navigate.
Completing the hardware specs is a decent 3,330mAh battery, fast charging via USB Type-C, dual SIM LTE, NFC, Bluetooth 5.0, fingerprint sensor, and a face-unlock feature that's surprisingly fast and accurate.
Missing features include the lack of water resistance, no wireless charging and absence of a microSD card expansion slot. OnePlus makes up for it by offering a variant with 256GB storage.
The OnePlus 6 is predictably good – excellent in the hardware department although with the usual trade-offs, nicely designed with great build quality – all packaged at a price point that's way, way below any flagship handset around. That makes it a very compelling option and a great alternative to those looking for the best value for their hard-earned money.
The OnePlus 6 is now available at select Digital Walker stores nationwide. The base 6GB + 64GB variant is priced at P30,990 while the higher 8GB + 128GB variant has a price tag of P33,990.

Enhancing Pollination Services and Profitability: An Opportunity for U.S. Agriculture
A Report by the Native Pollinators in Agriculture Project
Over the past several years awareness and subsequent concern over declines in pollinator populations have been growing, as have calls for initiatives and programs designed to rebuild populations of native pollinators and enhance the pollinator services that they provide. Leadership for most of these efforts has come largely from within the pollination stakeholder community. To date, mainline agricultural organizations have played a limited role in building policy maker support for restoration and protection measures and initiatives.
In an effort to obtain an agricultural perspective on the challenges and opportunities around pollinator population declines, a pollinator protection project was initiated in 2006 by the FFA Foundation and now operates as a special project of the National Association of State Conservation Agencies. Through the project, which was guided by a national Steering Committee composed of agricultural and conservation leaders, production agriculture took a fresh look at pollination challenges and opportunities to enhance pollination services with native pollinators.
While this project was not the first examination of challenges associated with declining pollinator populations, what is unique is that its leadership team was composed primarily of individuals either directly involved in production agriculture or who provide support services to the sector. As such, the findings and recommendations that resulted from the project were developed by individuals who produce or support the production of food, feed, and fiber. This report summarizes what these leaders had to say about this important subject.

Press Center Web Exclusives 2014 The Long and Short of It
Karen Moltenbrey
Short films have been a theater staple for many decades, dating back to the early days of the theater, where audiences were treated to a programming package that included a feature or two, short films, a cartoon, and even a newsreel. More recently, studios ¬– particularly Disney/Pixar – have been releasing an animated short alongside a large animated feature.
For instance, Pixar's "The Blue Umbrella" was shown in theaters this summer with Disney/Pixar's Monsters University. Blue Sky, meanwhile, has created several animated shorts, too. The studio's "No Time for Nuts" premiered on the DD release of Ice Age: The Meltdown, rather than in theaters.
For both Pixar and Blue Sky, as well as many other studios, animated short films are part of a long-standing tradition. Sometimes a short film offers a feature-film team the chance to production-test technology. Sometimes it offers a creative outlet. And, sometimes it offers the chance to continue working with a favorite character.
Animated short films are not just for professionals. Many schools require students to produce an animated short film prior to graduation, and students put those projects on their reels to show prospective employers.
Sometimes animated shorts are a team effort; sometimes they are an individual project. But one thing's for sure, they are a labor of love.
This year, a number of animated short films are vying for an Oscar, including:
"Feral," directed by Daniel Sousa (US). This 13-minute film is about a wild boy who is found in the woods by a solitary hunter and brought back to civilization. Alienated by a strange new environment, the boy tries to adapt by using the same strategies that kept him safe in the forest.
"Get a Horse!," directed by Lauren MacMullan and produced by Dorothy McKim (US). Walt Disney Animation Studios' six-minute innovative new short "Get A Horse!" is a contemporary homage to the first animated shorts featuring Mickey Mouse, with all-new, black-and-white, hand-drawn animation that's paired with full-color, 3D, CG filmmaking-in the same frame. Mickey (voice of Walt Disney), his favorite gal pal Minnie Mouse and their friends Horace Horsecollar and Clarabelle Cow delight in a musical haywagon ride-until Peg-Leg Pete shows up and tries to run them off the road. This groundbreaking short takes a sharp turn when Mickey finds himself separated from Minnie and must use every trick up his sleeve to find his way back to her. "Get A Horse!" is in theaters in front of "Frozen."
"Mr. Hublot," directed and produced by Laurent Witz and co-directed by Alexandre Espigares (Luxembourg/France). In this 11-minute film, Mr. Hublot lives in a world where characters are made partially of mechanical parts, driving huge vehicles, rubbing shoulders with one another. It's a world where the giant scale of machines and the relentless use of salvaged materials reign supreme. Here, the withdrawn, idiosyncratic character with OCD Mr. Hublot is scared of change and the outside world. His solution: He doesn't step foot outside his apartment! The arrival of the dog Robot Pet will turn his life upside down, however. He has to share his home with this very invasive companion.
"Possessions," directed by Shuhei Morita (Japan). Known throughout Japan as "Tsukomo," the animated short film "Possessions" continues to capture the attention of audiences worldwide. "Possessions" is part of Katsuhiro Otomo's Short Peace omnibus project that brings together top creators at the leading edge of animation. The title of the 14-minute short refers to the folk legends that objects will possess souls after 100 years, often playing tricks on their owners as a result. In the film, a wanderer in Japan takes refuse in an abandoned house during the storm, but soon objects in the house come to life.
Room on the Broom, directed by Max Lang and Jan Lachauer, and produced by Michael Rose and Martin Pope (UK). A half-hour animated film (25 minutes) based on the children's picture book written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler, "Room on the Broom" is a magical tale about friendship and family from Magic Light Pictures, the producers of "The Gruffalo" and "The Gruffalo's Child." (See "Monster Movie"). The film tells the story about a kind witch who invites a surprising collection of animals to join her on her broom, much to the frustration of her cat. The gang ultimately saves the witch from a fearsome dragon, and in gratitude she rewards them with a magnificent new broom which has room for everyone.

Princess Paeosfu Story Home
The rebels who helped to recover the fallen and gathered the lonely yellow cores returned to the carrier. She avoided eye contact with them fearing they would see and feel how much she failed them as their princess and ally. Noticing Roskavna's form from the corner of her eye, Paeosfu lifted her head.
"This belongs to you. Thanks," the officer said, handing Paeosfu the yēoñogou. It had returned to a small size and the orbs were firmly attached to the center piece. "We couldn't find your original staff, and your bike was beyond repair. Cheer up, Princess. You have a new toy you can tinker with."
She gave Paeosfu a heavy pat on the shoulder before stepping onto the carrier herself. The vehicle rocked under her weight, but the hovering pads fired on high and quickly stabilized it. She signaled for them to move out.
Once they gained enough speed, Roskavna clapped her hands and pulled them apart to read the holographic report. She informed the rebels over the soft whirring of the motors, "Out of a hundred and nine rebels, forty-three have made it out alive. We've recovered fifty-one cores. I'll have a team return for a second recovery sweep. If you see your name, we leave base at my signal." A wave of moans and curses swept the vehicle as rebels saw their names appearing on the hologram.
Roskavna closed her hands into fists at the end of the report. She cleared her throat. "Heads up, T. We saved all the civilians. It was the dirty soldiers and their cheap tricks that took out our own."
The officer straightened up and slapped her shoulder with the palm of her hand. The rebels who could do the same repeated the motion. "The resistance is building. Soon we'll have more among our ranks. Those we saved would want to repay us with arms." She beamed. "Be happy, T. We've moved forward in the resistance against the Third and Fifth Rulers!"

Uganda police caught cutting seals of ballot boxes (watch)
A video is doing rounds online of Uganda police caught red handed cutting seals of ballot boxes ahead of the country's January 14 General election.
The video which is purely in vernacular shows a man bashing some officers he caught in the act as members of the fourth estate struggle to cover the happenings.
The forthcoming Presidential election has been termed by political pundits as one of a lifetime.
Uganda's Inspector General of Police
The country's Inspector General of police has already issued tough warnings to those planning to cause chaos on the material day.
Uganda's Inspector General of Police tough warnings ahead of 14th January poll (watch)
The country's force has been severally accused of being brutal to the citizens, more so on NUP Presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi popularly known as Bobi Wine.
A pop star-turned-politician, Bobi is seen by many as the new face of Uganda's politics and viewed as a major threat to Museveni who has been in power since 1986..
Kyagulanyi who joined politics five years ago after being elected in a by-election in Kyadondo East constituency, has tremendously grown his support base across the landlocked East African nation.
His rise hasn't been easy as his meetings have been marred by excessive brutality from the police wing.
Bobi has today taken to Twitter to display fears of planned rigging by Museveni's regime after some internet services were disrupted.
Four days to the election, the internet is already slowed down. Some services have already been disrupted. Most people cannot download our UVote App from Google play store. We're encouraging everyone to download VPN & download UVote from this link: https://t.co/UnYPsuvkbV. pic.twitter.com/EMbkfS1JGk

Genre: Philosophy
4.5 Score: 4.5 (From 258 Ratings)
Published in 1864, Notes from Underground is considered the author's first masterpiece - the book in which he "became" Dostoevsky - and is seen as the source of all his later works. Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, whose acclaimed translations of The Brothers Karamazov and Crime and Punishment have become the standard versions in English, now give us a superb new rendering of this early classic.

Looming above the CTA Blue Line L tracks in Wicker Park is an "I AM A MAN" mural inspired by a 1968 photograph from a Memphis memorial for the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

Black Lives Matter movement street art, murals see a surge in Chicago post-George Floyd
More have popped up since the killing in Minneapolis of the Black man by a white cop. One artist says the aim is 'using this as a time for change and doing that through art.'

SHARE Black Lives Matter movement street art, murals see a surge in Chicago post-George Floyd
Two months after Chicago and the nation erupted in protest of George Floyd's killing by a white police officer in Minneapolis, a growing number of signs of the Black Lives Matter movement can be found around Chicago in the form of murals and street art.
Chicago's murals and mosaics sidebar
Chicago's murals & mosaics
Part of a series on public art in the city and suburbs. More murals are added every week.
Some memorialize the movement on wooden boards outside closed stores. Others pay tribute more prominently, through expansive murals.
In Wicker Park, near the CTA Blue Line L tracks, there's a mural of a young Black man holding a sign reading "I AM A MAN." The painting, completed in late June, recreates a 1968 photo from a memorial for the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in Memphis. The slogan is from a two-month strike by sanitation workers in Memphis to demand proper treatment. King spent his final days with the striking workers before his assassination.

"We're having all of these heightened conversations about civil rights and humanitarian rights causes all over the world at the moment," says artist Darius Dennis, who headed the project. "It's an opportunity to paint really big paintings — and maybe these are the things that should have been included in history books."
Darius Dennis, 36, headed the "I AM A MAN" mural project in Wicker Park. He grew up in Chicago and now splits his time between Lake View and New York.
"I AM A MAN" was done by Dennis, 36, Robin Alcantara, 28, Ephraim Gebre, 21, and Jared Diaz, 25. The artists work together at a billboard company in Brooklyn.

Diaz, who lives in Queens and describes himself as a "Brown man," says that even a glance at the news or social media reminds him of social inequality and of threats to people of color. He says the Wicker Park mural challenges people to own their role in fighting injustice.
"It feels very empowering and healing," Diaz says. "To be able to replace some of that space with energy that says, 'It doesn't matter because we're going to do something better,' that's healing."

The artists envision a four-part "I AM" series of paintings to "bring cultural equity back to neighborhoods that need it," according to Dennis, a Chicago native who now divides his time between Lake View and New York. He says they're looking at Humboldt Park for one of the future murals in the series.
The exterior wall of a condo building at 1339 N. Wicker Park Ave. was the canvas for "I AM A MAN." Colleen Kendall, 36, and Connor Kendall, 35, have lived in the condo for five years. Connor Kendall was at Loyola Academy in Wilmette, and Dennis was at Lake View High School when they became friends. When Dennis asked to use the couple's building for the mural, they and residents of the three other condo units said yes.

"We hope the work serves as a reminder to the thousands of people taking the CTA every day of the problems still rampant today," Connor Kendall says. "As I turn the corner driving home each day, I have an immense amount of pride that we have some part of the messaging."
Recent protests also have inspired shorter-term street art across the city. As business owners put up wooden boards to protect their stores from looting and vandalism in the unrest that followed Floyd's death, the boards became artists' canvases.
On the walls of what used to be Leon's Bar-B-Q at 79th Street and Cornell Avenue is a "Black and Brown Unity" mural, calling for peace and cooperation between Black and Latino communities, according to Rahmaan Statik, 39, a South Loop street artist who worked on the project.
A group of street artists painted this "Black and Brown Unity" mural on the South Side after another unity mural in Pilsen was painted over within hours of being completed.
A street artist who goes by the name "Dred Ske" worked on the original "Black and Brown Unity" mural in Pilsen before it was covered over with white paint.
On boards outside Epoch Studio Salon in Wicker Park is a famous quote from the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., painted by the street artist who goes by the name "Nzyme," 22.
A street artist who goes by the name "Dred Ske" — who's 38 and lives near Marquette Park on the South Side and worked on the unity mural with Statik — also painted "Black Lives Matter" above images of colorful fists on wooden boards at Ashland and Chicago avenues in West Town.
Artist Dred Ske painted this "Black Lives Matter" mural on wooden boards at Ashland and Chicago avenues in West Town.
In the West Loop, artist Jenny Vyas, 44, partnered with Soul City Church to paint "Be the Bridge," inspired by a book about racial reconciliation the church community is reading.
Jenny Vyas painted this mural, titled "Be the Bridge," outside Soul City Church in the West Loop, inspired by a book by Latasha Morrison.
A street artist who goes by the name "Nick Apple," 30, from Logan Square, painted a portrait outside Papa Cenar in Wicker Park of Ahmaud Arbery, who was killed while jogging in Georgia in February. Apple also has done other images in the same area of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, who were killed by police, and Oluwatoyin Salau, killed in Florida.
The street art is inherently temporary — painted over, torn down or removed when businesses reopen and take down the wooden boards. Newly launched Sounding Boards Chicago, a mural initiative aiming to give the artwork a longer life, is working to collect the boards as businesses reopen. It plans to create an exhibit of Black Lives Matter street art to be "permanently appreciated by the public," according to Christina Brown, who cofounded Sounding Boards.
"It's amplifying the voices of minorities," says Brown, 35, of Avondale. "The message we're really trying to send is just coming together and having this unification in Chicago, using this as a time for change and doing that through art."
Street artist Damon Lamar Reed, 42, of Woodlawn, in front of his mural "If you don't break the chain, then who will?" outside Wayward in Wicker Park. In it, Reed portrays systemic racism as a chain on Black people.
A street artist who goes by the name "Nzyme" painted the phrase "Peace & Love" outside Smile Science Chicago in Wicker Park following the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer.

Over the last several months, The Simple Dollar has picked up a lot of readers, as you can all probably tell if you've been watching that subscriber number on the upper right corner of each page. Because of this, I thought it would be worthwhile to step back and give an overview of The Simple Dollar to those who are new to the site.
I've been reading a long time! This is boring! If you're a long time reader, please leave a comment about how you found the site and any posts on here you thought were particularly good and encouraged you to become a reader. In a few days, I intend to highlight this post on the site for new visitors to read so that they can find some great material to start with.
My name is Trent Hamm. I live in rural Iowa with my wife, my son (who is 21 months old as of August 2007), and soon, my daughter (who is due in September 2007).
Throughout my life, I made a lot of financial mistakes, which I illustrated in detail in my series Road to Financial Armageddon. In April 2006, I almost went bankrupt and was drowning in debt, but my infant son inspired me to start turning things around and learning about personal finance. In October 2006, I started The Simple Dollar to record many of the things I was learning and to put myself out there as an example of how to turn one's financial life around.
I think part of the appeal of The Simple Dollar is that I'm willing to put myself out there. If I make mistakes, I don't mind talking about them. If I make good moves, I don't mind talking about them, either. I share what I learn and I share my bad moves, too. If my readers think I made a mistake, I don't delete their comments – I leave them up there for everyone to read because anyone that might visit the article in the future might want to learn from it. I have a tendency to debate, though, and will often pop in in the middle of comments, particularly on controversial posts.
Almost always, I post four times each weekday, twice on Saturday, and three times on Sunday. Each weekday starts off with a Morning Roundup, a brief collection of interesting articles I found the previous day along with some commentary. I also generally review a personal finance book each Friday and lately I've also been reviewing a personal development or productivity book each Sunday evening (the "third" post on Sunday).
If you have a question, please don't hesitate to contact me. You're also strongly encouraged to leave a comment any time you have an opinion on a post, whether it be an agreement or a contrary perspective. Please do note that if your message doesn't ask a question of some sort, though, I may not respond – I get tons of messages each day and the best way I have for dealing with them is only responding when a response seems obvious, and sometimes it's difficult to even do that.
I'd probably start with Road to Financial Armageddon, which gives a brief outline of how I got where I am today. It's a pretty chilling tale and I think it's also familiar to many twenty- and thirtysomething Americans who are going through the same experiences. Another insightful post about my early financial experience is this one.
Another series well worth reading is 31 Days To Fix Your Finances, which is basically a month-long program to re-evaluate your financial situation.
I'd also check out the posts recommended by readers in the comments here.


Arthur Penhaligon is not supposed to be a hero. He is, in fact, supposed to die an early death. But then he is saved by a key shaped like the minute hand of a clock. Arthur is safe – but his world is not. Along with the key comes a plague brought by bizarre creatures from another realm. A stranger named Mister Monday, his avenging messengers with blood-stained wings, and an army of dog-faced Fetchers will stop at nothing to get the key back – even if it means destroying Arthur and everything around him.
The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl: The Artic Incident, read by the actor Gerry O'Brien.
Someone has been supplying Class-A illegal human power sources to the goblins. Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit is sure that her archenemy, 13-year-old Artemis Fowl, is responsible.
twists and turns, love it after reading it a fews years ago.
The boy wonder grows up a little, but with his trusted butler they battle the Russian's to get this xxxx back.
Really enjoyed the audio on this one, great narration. My only gripe with the story is that Eoin Colfer reuses a lot of the same figures of speech to describe certain aspects of the story. Otherwise, a great Artemis Fowl adventure.
It was a good story but more character voices could have been used. Overall 4 stars.
just as entertaining as the first one.
Eoin Colfer's humour keeps you chuckling all the way through, brought to life appropriately by the gentle Irish accent of Gerry O'Brien.
Sets me up with an appetite for the next to continue the saga of our dear young Artemis.
Brilliant concept with the technology savvy fairies and a young prodigy with criminal tendencies. Action from the get-go interlaced with wry remarks makes it a rather entertaining "read".
I had an audible credit leftover and I'd just finished the first Artemis Fowl book so I thought why the heck not? and bought The Arctic Incident. With the introduction of the new nemesis Opal Koboi and the dastardly goblin plot, The Arctic Incident was one of my favourites of the series. I particularly loved the new, more human side to Artemis Fowl.
The narration is, again, superb! A favourite childhood story brought to life.
I would recommend this to anyone with kids from 7 up, the story is well crafted and it is read brilliantly.
What other book might you compare Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident to, and why?
All the Artemis Fowl books so far have been excellent.
My two boys (aged 8 and 10) were on the edges of their seats with this one. The beauty of the Artemis Fowl books is that they are not obviously written for children, so the language and concepts feel adult.
Artemis explains "difficult" concepts to "stupid" adults in small words because he is, after all, a boy genius. This rather helps any confused 8 year olds in the back of the car keep up. The fact that there seems to be rather too many stupid adults in it is a small gripe. In fact the most intelligent people seem to be the fairies, but I suppose that's the whole point.
Personally I love all the cliff hangers ... you can almost hear the cinematic BA BA BAAA music as the action plays out. We have indeed sat in the car for a few minutes more, just to get to a suitable cliff hanger in order to turn it off before school. You never have to wait long.
as above really. a good series, you'll love this if you liked Harry Potter. an easy listen.
Easy to listen to and enjoyable book.

These local development documents set out the spatial strategy for Bedford Borough.
A 'spatial strategy' is one which takes into account social, economic and environmental factors such as health and housing, and which does not purely focus on the regulation and control of land.
Preparing local development documents is an ongoing process and each document can take years to get adopted.
The adopted policies in these documents form the basis for decision making when planning applications are submitted to the council.
The new Local Plan will set out how much growth there should be in the borough (housing, jobs and associated infrastructure) up to 2035 and where it should take place.
Sets out the spatial vision for the Bedford town centre.

Super Bowl commercials songs: EW's TV Jukebox
By Emily Rome
February 05, 2013 at 01:15 PM EST
When it comes to all the forms of entertainment in the Super Bowl telecast, music completes the package. No, we're not talking about Beyonce's halftime show. We're talking about the tunes in all those commercials.
The music in this year's Big Game ads was a mix of recent hits and decades-old classics. Appropriate for one of America's biggest partying days, the song choices were mostly upbeat and celebratory, but there were a few more emotional tracks as well.
Here EW presents to you a special edition of TV Jukebox with those Super Bowl commercials in the spotlight. Check out our picks and Spotify playlist below.
Wonderful Pistachios
The song: Psy, "Gangnam Style"
The hook: Anyone could have predicted that the biggest song of 2012 would find its way into a 2013 Super Bowl commercial, but not so predictable was which product would snatch up Psy and his ubiquitous song for the Big Game. Turns out the Korean pop star was tapped by Wonderful Pistachios. Millions of TV viewers have now been called to "crack it Gangnam Style" by Psy and a collection of giant dancing pistachios. This leaves one question: How do they crack nuts in Gangnam?
The song: The Rolling Stones, "Sympathy for the Devil"
The hook: Despite this commercial appearing to be aimed at a younger demographic, as if to say, "You can have a Mercedes too," the car company turned to a rock classic for the soundtrack of its Faustian tale. Because, really, what other song could be a better fit for an ad with Willem Dafoe as Satan than the Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil"?
Milk Mustache Campaign
The song: Sam and Dave, "Hold On, I'm Comin'"
The hook: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's town is going to pieces, but, backed by soul tune "Hold On, I'm Comin'," the macho man has to put his save-the-day duties on hold until he finds a carton of milk for him and the kids. With his calcium tank full, now he can go rescue that cat in a tree, woman trapped in a car topped by a lion and city under alien attack he passed by before.
The song: Stevie Wonder, "Superstition"
The hook: Bud Light's Super Bowl ad campaign is an ode to devoted sports fans and all the weird rituals they do in the name of some good luck for their team. Which song to accompany this tale of wild superstitions? "Superstition," of course. And who to play the ad's voodoo man? Stevie Wonder himself.
The song: Calvin Harris, "Drinking from the Bottle"
The hook: E*TRADE wants to save you the money you could be losing to hidden fees in your 401(k). E*TRADE Baby wants to tell you all the ways you could blow through that money if you so desired — which brings us to snapshots of E*TRADE Baby's hypothetical, very expensive vacation, backed by Calvin Harris' "Drinking from the Bottle," taking on a double meaning thanks to the infant at the center of this commercial.
The song: Meatloaf, "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)"
The hook: Red the M&M takes to the piano for this Meatloaf cover to tell Glee's Naya Rivera what he will and won't do for love. And there's a lot a piece of chocolate candy won't do for love, like hop in a piñata. Or top a yet-to-be-baked cake. Or get devoured by all of his sweetie's friends. Can't really blame the poor guy.
The song: Jimmy Cliff, "C'mon, Get Happy"
The hook: Volkswagen serves up some Jamaican optimism to battle the Monday blues with The Partridge Family theme song, "C'mon, Get Happy," a cover sung by a man who is really Jamaican, unlike the Minnesotan poser in this commercial.
The song: Fleetwood Mac, "Landslide"
The hook: Budweiser supplied a full dose of tear-jerker cuteness with its story about the parting — and the reunion — of a Budweiser Clydesdale and his trainer. What better music to accompany this bittersweet tale than the sad, sweet sounds of Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide"?
The song: Hans Zimmer, "Honor"
The hook: Jeep devoted its Super Bowl air time to its Operation S.A.F.E. Return fund with an emotional message of hope for America's troops to make it safely home to their families. Cue swelling music by Hans Zimmer — a fitting choice of his theme music for HBO Marine mini-series The Pacific.
The song: fun., "We Are Young" (Spanish version)
The hook: Taco Bell's contribution to Super Bowl 2013 revealed what residents of The Glencobrooke Retirement Home do after dark: They hit the town for a wild night of young-at-heart antics, backed by a Spanish reworking of fun.'s "We Are Young," before making a pit stop at Taco Bell.

Engaging Parents Fun With Kids Reviews by Us
Review: Bring Out The Word Winder Wizard In You

Have you played Word Winder? The phenomenal word game that has taken America by storm! Developed by the world's most syndicated wordgame creator, David L. Hoyt, Word Winder appeals to everyone over eight years old.
A game veteran with 15 years in the word game industry, Hoyt said that Word Winder caters to different levels and abilities, so you can even play with your pre-schoolers as long as they can spell 3-letter words.
"The beauty of Word Winder is that it appeals at every level, to the whole family from child to grandparent, while still being cool enough for teenagers to play against each other, or for adults who want to show off their word prowess," said Hoyt who was in Singapore to officially launch the game in Asia. Singapore is the first Asian country to launch Word Winder!
Word Winder is a game of winning words. It comes with 3 sets of colored 'chips' and 16 double-sided 4" x 4" letter grid boards that can be organized differently every time you play.
Lay down your chips to form lines of winding words. Players attempt to create a continuous winding line of words creating a path from one side of the game board to another. There are no restrictions on how you place your words. They can be placed in any direction on the board – left to right, top to bottom, diagonally or even in a winding pattern. Outrace your opponents and block their lines. Click here for more tips on how to play the game.
To win the game, the players need to complete an unbroken line of words from top to bottom or from side to side. They can outwit their opponents by blocking their path. It's a game that increases the confidence of your child's vocabulary and use of words. See pictures below of the elation felt by my 8-year-old son.
"It's certainly a game that will bring out your competitive streak while encouraging bonding time between families and friends," adds founder of the game.
A great Christmas gift, Word Winder is available at Toys R'Us and all major departmental stores in Singapore for SGD$29.90. For more information, visit: www.wordwinder.com and check out these videos on Word Winder.
And if you want to play Word Winder on the go, you can now download Word Winder Apps on your iPad or iPhone so you can play it anytime, anywhere.
Have you played this game before? What do you think? Share with Us in the comments below. We will also love for you to connect with Us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Cheshire Federation has several sub-committees which arrange events for members. They comprise a Chair and WI members from across the County.

Influential and well regarded, the WI has a very strong campaigning tradition. Soon after its beginnings the National Federation of WIs (NFWI) presented and voted upon its first resolution: school dinners (1926). Resolutions are researched and proposed by individual members or WIs, with the final resolution(s) chosen by a panel taken from the general membership. Prior to voting (one member one vote) members will have discussed the merits or otherwise of the resolution(s). If passed, each resolution then has a mandate and so becomes a campaign, with each campaign being followed through for several years. In addition, the WI is engaged in initiatives that usually involve other charities and public bodies, which are followed through for several years.
Federation Trustee Lyn Hand is our Denman Ambassador. Lyn is very happy to talk with slides about Denman. Contact her through WI House info@cheshirewi.org.uk. Denman College offers a wide variety of day and residential courses. Set in the picturesque village of Marcham, in Oxfordshire, the Georgian mansion and 17 acres of grounds, which has been modernised to include several blocks of bedrooms in the grounds as well as teaching rooms with specialised facilities for cookery, crafts and physical activities, provides the pitch perfect atmosphere for learning. Courses are advertised on the Denman website and in their brochure, which comes out 3 times a year and there is a Denman item in each edition of WI Life. As well as taking part in an excellent course you will meet WI members from around the country, enjoy good food and accommodation and the beautiful gardens of Denman. Burseries are available from Denman as well as gift vouchers while twice a year discounts are offered on some courses. A fund has been established for the maintenance of Denman.

Q: Autofilling a form with data from a previous form I have 3 forms in an accordion, one for personal details, billing info and delivery info. I want to autofill the form in the delivery info section if the 'yes' radio button is selected when being asked if their billing and delivery info are the same.
I've looked on the web and can't seem to find anything on filling in a form in an accordion or on the same page.
Here is the HTML:
Details
        <img class="editcheckoutbtn" src="<?php echo ROOT; ?>/Images/Buttons/rentals_84x25_edit.png">

          <form id="detailsform">

            <input type="email" name="email" />
            Contact Number*
            <input type="text" name="contactnumber"/>

Do you wish to be contacted by Interski with future promotions?

              <input type="radio" name="marketing" value="yes"/>Yes

              <input type="radio" name="marketing" value="no"/>No

              <input type="image" src="<?php echo ROOT; ?>/Images/Buttons/rentals_84x25_confirm.png">

            <input type="text" name="postcode" />
            Country*
            <select name="country">

          </form>

Delivery Address

        <img class="editcheckoutbtn" src="<?php echo ROOT; ?>/Images/Buttons/rentals_84x25_edit.png">

          <form id="deliveryform">
            1st line of Address*
            <input type="text" name="delfirstaddress" required/>
            2nd line of Address
            <input type="text" name="delsecondaddress"/>
            Town*
            <input type="text" name="deltown" />
            Postcode*
            <input type="text" name="delpostcode" />
            Country*
            <select name="delcountry">
              <option></option>
            </select>

              <input type="image" src="<?php echo ROOT; ?>/Images/Buttons/rentals_84x25_confirm.png">

              <input type="image" src="<?php echo ROOT; ?>/Images/Buttons/rentals_200x38_proceed_to_payment.png">

A: This is in complete assumption that as you mentioned its accordion,your page is not refreshed.
You can simply add an event listener on your Radio button to access the required fields and then use them to show wherever required.
Also give proper id's to your input fields
You can do it like this;
$("#deliveryyes").on('click',function(){
    var firstaddress = $("#firstaddress").val();
    ...
    // Use those values to populate other fields like
    $("#delfirstaddress").val(firstaddress );
    ...
});

This way you can achieve it.

Lincoln University is a private university in Oakland, California.

It enrolls over 500 students in undergraduate and graduate level programs in business administration, as well an English language program, certificate programs, and bachelor of science degrees.

History
Named to honor the life and work of President Abraham Lincoln, Lincoln University was founded and chartered under the laws of California in 1926. The first university officers were Benjamin Franklin Lickey, president, and Edward J. Silver, vice president and educational director. Lickey with his wife Susan had in 1919 founded a law study program in San Francisco for veterans returning after the First World War and other working adults which offered evening classes to part-time students while he was working as the western representative of the Law Department of the La Salle Extension University of Chicago which offered degrees through correspondence courses. The program developed into a tutorial center with a broader curriculum. One of its early slogans was "The Shortcut to Success" and it offered "reasonable terms" and a "money-back guarantee."

By 1927 Lincoln University was operating on the Arcade Floor of the Phelan Building on Market Street in San Francisco with Colleges of Law and Commerce and a Department of Special Courses and Coaching, offering both day and evening classes as a co-educational institution.

An advertisement of that year showed Lincoln University offering college courses in law, commerce, foreign trade, and business administration and special courses and coaching in bar examination preparation, advertising, journalism, and public speaking. It also maintained a junior college and high school program which operated a preparatory school and special preparation for College Board examinations. At this time Lickey served as president of Lincoln University while continuing as the agent of LaSalle Extension University.

Its nonprofit status was recognized by the Internal Revenue Service in 1950 and in 1961 a second campus was opened in San Jose. By 1987 the San Jose campus had become the location of the university's law school programs. It separated in 1993 to become the independent Lincoln Law School of San Jose. The university moved from San Francisco to Oakland in December 1999.

Lincoln University was featured in a March 2011 Chronicle of Higher Education article entitled "Little-Known Colleges Exploit Visa Loopholes to Make Millions Off Foreign Students."

Academics

Lincoln University offers the following degree programs:
Master of Business Administration
Master of Science
Bachelor of Arts
Bachelor of Science

Accreditation
Lincoln University is accredited by WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC).

Lincoln University has received accreditation for its graduate business programs through the International Accreditation Council for Business Education (IACBE). Membership Status: Accredited Member.

Lincoln University is accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) since 1990, to award master's and bachelor's degrees. Their accreditation status is listed as "Compliance Warning".

The California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education in accordance with the provisions of former California Education Code sections 94900 and/or 94915 approved Lincoln University to offer the Doctor of Business Administration,  Master of Business Administration, Master of Science in Finance Management, Master of Science in International Business, Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration, and Bachelor of Science in Diagnostic Imaging degrees.

It is on the U.S. Department of Education's Federal Student Aid (FSA) "List of Institutions on Heightened Cash Monitoring as of December 1, 2019." The U.S. Department of Education may place institutions on a Heightened Cash Monitoring (HCM) payment method to provide additional oversight of cash management. Heightened Cash Monitoring is a step that FSA can take with institutions to provide additional oversight for a number of financial or federal compliance issues, some of which may be serious and others that may be less troublesome. The list notes "severe findings" for Lincoln University.

Affiliation
Lincoln University is an institutional member of the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), CHEA International Quality Group (CIQG), the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO),  the National Association of Foreign Student Advisers (NAFSA), the Institute of International Education (IIE), the American Association for Higher Education (AAHE), and the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities (NAICU); it is affiliated also with the California Association of Private Postsecondary Schools (CAPPS).

So many urban legends to pick from, but I chose the notorious campfire story about the hookman and the couple on Lover's Lane. The whole story seems kind of 50s to me, so I put a classic 50s car in the drawing and populated it with a couple that seems to resemble 50s comics characters Archie Andrews and Veronica Lodge. It seems they have narrowly escaped the hook-hand killer, but have they? Stay tuned for tomorrow's thrilling conclusion!

Captain Kirk's Chair from Star Trek: The Original Series
The most expensive piece of Star Trek: The Original Series memorabilia ever sold at auction was Captain Kirk's famous chair from the Bridge set; which realized a final sales price of $304,750 (on a bid of $265,000) as Lot 175 in the historic Profiles In History Bob Justman Star Trek Auction held June 27th, 2002 in Los Angeles, CA.
The Profiles auction catalog description provided some interesting construction insights, exact dimensional information, and what were at-the-time previously unseen photos of its current condition. The significant technical portion of the essay, with accompanying photos, is reproduced below …
175. COMMAND CHAIR AND PLATFORM FROM THE "U.S.S. ENTERPRISE". The original Captain's Chair from the bridge of the legendary starship, U.S.S. Enterprise. Constructed at the Desilu Culver Studios in November of 1964, this world-renowned chair was first used by actor Jeffrey Hunter as Captain Christopher Pike in the first pilot, The Cage, and remained the focal point of the bridge throughout the entire series as Captain James T. Kirk's seat of command.
The original design for the bridge was the responsibility of Art Director Pato Guzman and Set Designer Walter "Matt" Jefferies (after the first pilot, Jefferies became the Art Director throughout the entire series). Although construction of the Enterprise sets was an orchestrated team effort, Special Effects Supervisor Jim Rugg and Matt Jefferies were the two primary people involved in its design and construction.
The outer block-frame of the chair is crafted from plywood and painted battleship grey in color. The wide-spaced armrests contain the controls and switches used by Capt. Kirk to engage various functions of the starship. Set within the frame is the original Naugahyde-covered seat with stained wooden armrests.
The chair is mounted on a wooden pedestal base that features a spring-loaded swivel which centered the chair after the Captain rose from it on either side. The rectangular base of the chair is covered in the original Ozite ® carpet which covered the entire floor of the Enterprise bridge.
The left arm control panel and switches remain as they appeared on the final episode, Turnabout Intruder. [More than once, the special effects crew changed the composition and layout of the control panels to adhere to script requirements.] On the right arm control panel, the owner reinstalled the original five white-button control unit.
Four ceramic, 25-watt light sockets, surrounded with tinfoil to protect the encircling wood from the heat, are mounted in a space beneath the control panel. The base of the chair holds a power cord wired to the sockets which, when powered, would illuminate the colored epoxy resin buttons and switches (one of the epoxy resin "lights" is missing).
The base of the chair is 42 in. wide x 35 in. deep, and stands 9 ¼ in. height. The chair itself is 39 in. wide (from arm to arm), with a 25 ¾ in. tall backrest. The seat of the chair rises 14 in. from the bottom of the base.
The late owner picked up the chair and accompanying set pieces (Lots. 176-183) in 1969 after he received a call from a friend at Paramount Pictures, who alerted him to the fact that the entire Star Trek set was being scrapped and that, if he was interested, he was welcome to get whatever items he wanted before they were thrown away. …
A true icon of entertainment history, the Captain's Chair is visible in literally every single episode of this beloved, legendary series and is, without question, one of the most important discoveries in the history of television memorabilia, and arguably the most recognizable chair in the world.
