Vilnius KGB Museum: Full of Tragedy
The KGB Museum, one of the most tragic places in Lithuanian history, was opened to visitors in 1992. This museum shows visitors the difficulties Lithuania faced on the road to freedom.
After the invasion of the Soviet regime, between 1941 and 1991, many people who resisted this regime had to meet these cells, which provided very harsh conditions here, like many cities under Soviet rule. Some of the people who refused to accept themselves were exiled to the far reaches of Siberia.
After the Soviet Union left Lithuania, the KGB opened it as a 3-story museum without making any changes so that everyone could hear this 50-year pain left by the KGB.
On the lower floor of the museum, there are rooms of KGB officers and prison cells. The lower floor of the KGB Museum, also known as the Jenosid Kurbanian Museum (Museum of the Victims of Genocide), is a place where hundreds of thousands of people were tortured, exiled and killed. A lot happened here. After 1958, the rooms, which were called interrogation rooms, were formerly known as NKGB – MGB – KGB prisons.
In these small rooms, arrested prisoners were stripped of their clothes and their bodies were searched. All buttons were cut off, belts and shoelaces were removed, photographs were taken of them with full frontal and lateral views and fingerprints were taken.
The next room is for the guards and guards. This room has the ability to activate the alarm system. At the same time, in 1975, a system was installed together with the alarm system, allowing them to communicate with other offices.
Below you can see a photo of a prisoner named Antanas Terleckas and his prisoner card.
Most of the documents kept during the Soviet regime were either burned, damaged or taken to Russia in 1988 – 1991 by KGB leaders in order to destroy their work. Several recovered criminal files and KGB documents are in Lithuania's private archives.
READ Artist from the Republic of Ordulu Uzupis
The tiny, unfurnished cell you see below held up to 20 prisoners, who had to sleep in their clothes in a room where the light was on 24 hours a day. Humidity was the main problem in each room.
Political prisoners in very small cells were allowed to bathe once a month during the war. Later, when they were allowed to bathe once a week, they had to bathe at the same time. It was a source of amusement for the staff to turn the water hot and cold. They were also allowed to go to the toilet once a day collectively.
The prisoners would fall into the water after enduring as long as they could on the iron ledge in the center of the cell, which was shaped like a pool with ice-cold water underneath. It is impossible to sleep in this cell. In Lithuania, which is already cold, the prisoner is taken out of these specially built rooms and tortured by being subjected to hot water.
People who want to be killed are subjected to unimaginable tortures. Some are killed with a press, some with an axe, and the rooms where people are staying are covered with pain.
Another cell with very good soundproofing. In this special room, which was built so that the cries and screams of the prisoners could not be heard, if the prisoner resisted the guards, they would make him wear the black colored straitjacket in the room to immobilize him.
On the upper floors there are texts describing in chronological order the periods of the Soviet regime's influence on Lithuania. Behind them, photographs and artifacts from the days of the Soviet regime's repression are on display.
READ National Museum of Lithuania
In general, the introduction proceeds in the form of photographs and narratives, and it is also possible to see cartoons about the repression of the regime at that time.
The KGB Museum, which has an excellent archive in terms of collection, coincides with an era of advanced communication technologies.
There are two monuments in the garden of the building. One of them is a monument erected in memory of the people deported to Siberia. The other is a monument created by stacking stones brought from various points in Lithuania.
The KGB Museum is a museum that must be seen and experienced. It makes you question your life again.

Keeper Of The Culture
Coco Zickos
on February 1, 2017 at 4:54 pm
Kauai Museum recently has undergone major renovations and continues to expand
Chucky Boy Chock is clearly in his element when he's surrounded by ancient Hawaiian artifacts, such as poi pounders made of chiseled rocks and wooden bowls meticulously carved from koa. He actually can't stop grinning or acknowledging how proud he is of Kauai Museum, the official safeguard of these treasures, where he currently is executive director. But, really, what he's most honored about is sharing the history of the Hawaiian culture, especially the story of Kauai and Niihau's last reigning king, Kaumuali'i.
"That is so important; that is our jewel," he says.
In fact, he lights up and becomes even more animated as he walks around the recently renovated and upgraded museum telling the story of King Kaumuali'i. He uses paintings, created by artist Evelyn Ritter, to help, each depicting an era of the ali'i's life. The extent of these carefully coordinated displays makes it nearly impossible to leave without gaining some kind of appreciation for the trials and tribulations of Kauai history.
The large collection of umeke (wooden bowls) at Kauai Museum even has the envy of entities as prominent as Bishop Museum
Sure, Bishop Museum might be what Chuck calls the "big papa" of Polynesian repositories, but Kauai has its own charm.
"We have our stories," he says.
One of the most prominent stories is about King Kaumuali'i's kidnapping in 1821 aboard a luxury yacht owned by King Kamehameha II (Liholiho), Ha'aheo o Hawaii
(Pride of Hawaii). It's on this very vessel that Kaumuali'i eventually met his demise after acquiring measles during a trip to Europe. When the ship returned to Hawaii in 1824, it ran aground in Hanalei Bay.
Chucky Boy Chock is proud to share the history of his culture with the rest of the world at Kauai Museum
"It's still there," says Chock, who adds that on clear days, from a helicopter, you actually might see some of its outline about 100 yards from the Waioli River mouth.
When he shares this information with keiki at schools around the island, which museum employees do on a regular basis to teach them about Kauai's history, they get excited.
"Now they all want to go look," he says with a chuckle.
But they're not likely to find anything. Excavators from the Smithsonian who extracted thousands of artifacts from the ship during the 1990s made sure to completely bury it.
Kauai Museum has a building predominantly dedicated to the many different cultures that have settled on Kauai throughout the decades
The artifacts, however, can be seen, and are now in Kauai Museum's possession, some of which are proudly on display in cases carefully lined with red velvet.
Zenon Wong, Kauai Museum historian, recounts his yearlong journey, about two- and-a-half years ago, taking inventory of the thousands of artifacts that arrived from the Smithsonian in seven hefty crates. He logged many hours learning about each of the pieces, such as the porcelain bowls from the Ming Dynasty and lead musket balls — all of which, he says, are invaluable.
"It's just fascinating, the history," he says.
Many of these pieces now are available for the public to ogle, along with hundreds of other ancient Hawaiian artifacts on display at Kauai Museum, including an
umeke (wooden bowl) once owned by Queen Deborah Kapule, King Kaumuali'i's favorite wife.
"All the artifacts are man-made wonders that tell great, beautiful stories. But the most important thing is they are priceless symbols of our culture and our heritage," says Chock, who is of Hawaiian descent.
The vast improvements made to the museum within the last year-and-a-half have even gained official nods from the likes of representatives from the Smithsonian, as well as Bishop Museum, who now consider it to be among their ranks — even if it's only a fraction of the size. And its updates are far from complete.
"It's never-ending," says Chock.
Plans for the museum's future include the continuation of tributes to Kauai's immigrants, as well as expansions that will host traveling exhibits. All of these things Chock continues to be responsible for, even though he wouldn't have predicted this new life-changing career 10 years ago.
"I never knew that would happen," says the musician, who originally started helping out at the museum by sharing his melodies with guests during special events. "I did what I could with whatever I was asked to do," he says. "But while I was doing that, I saw things I wanted to improve."
The rest, as they say, is history.
Kauai Museum, originally Lihue Library, was founded by Juliet Rice Wichman and Dora Jane Isenberg Cole in 1960, is something Kauaians can be proud of, thanks to Chock.
"It's time to go beyond and share our stories. People should hear these stories," he says.
It's no longer just a place visitors can embrace, but a place for kamaaina to learn more and celebrate the island's rich history. Chock is confident his team has done a good job improving the facilities, particularly when descendants of Kaumuali'i come to pay homage to their ancestor.
"They will stay here and they will just cry," he says. "It's for all Kauai and Niihau because he was our great king."

Born in Western Australia and now residing in Munich, Britton has developed an international reputation for her innovative practice as a contemporary artist working in the fields of jewellery, drawing and installation.
Britton meticulously constructs her work from metals, glass, precious stones and found components. Pieces can now be found in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, The National Gallery of Australia, the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, The Art Gallery of Western Australia, and many more galleries and museums around the world.
UWA Chief Cultural Officer, Professor Ted Snell said, Britton is herself in between, rooted in both Germany and Australia. Her work is a meditation on her own history as she engages with artefacts and environments that act as powerful triggers.
Germany's weight of history stabilizes, while Australia generates a sense of urgency and of making do. Australia's history can only be borrowed from those that have lived here for millennia; it is a place that requires re-forming and re-imagining to make it your own.
In Australia, Britton draws from the Western Australian coastal environment and its openness as a space for reflection and inspiration. Over the past two decades she has created a small series of private works on regular visits to Western Australia. Helen Britton: Interstices will be the first time they will all be shown together in the context of a new body of work that interprets this activity from the distance of her studio in Munich.

Career changers: Teach First New Zealand
By Education Gazette editors
Issue: Volume 96, Number 2
Reference #: 1H9d5x
Up to 30 driven and dedicated new teachers are being trained every year through the Teach First NZ pilot. Not only is the highly competitive programme changing the lives of its participants, it's also changing the lives of the students they teach.
After spending several years working for a marketing company, film and theatre graduate Jeremy Downing knew he wanted a more rewarding career. He'd always liked the idea of teaching and had taken a year off to complete the English papers he needed for a teaching degree.
"I didn't want to do another year at Teacher's College. I was ready to get back into work. Then someone from Teach First NZ came into our class with a flyer. It was too good to be true."
Teach First NZ is a charity set up to address educational inequality in New Zealand by attracting top graduates and career-changing professionals into teaching through hands-on training at lower-decile schools. It aims to create future leaders in the education system.
Launched in 2013 after successful similar programmes overseas, participants are employed full-time but only teach three classes a week. The rest of their time they're completing a postgraduate teaching diploma at the University of Auckland.
Jeremy was part of the 2015 cohort and did his placement at James Cook High School in Manurewa. Two years later the 30-year-old is still at the decile 1 college, now as a fully qualified drama teacher.
Jeremy says he feels so welcomed by the James Cook school community. "There's incredible warmth and kindness here."
Honing skills
The Teach First programme enabled him to quickly hone his teaching skills. "All the assignments are really tailored to what you do in the classroom. You have to learn to quickly adapt and problem solve."
During Jeremy's first drama class he realised there was a lot of bullying going on. "So I developed a two-lesson anti-bullying drama unit. Being able to use what you are learning immediately is really rewarding."
Spending two years together enables each cohort to develop a tight relationship, Jeremy says. "The supportive network is the best thing about the programme. The connection is amazing. Great friendships have formed."
Almost 400 people applied for the 30 places in this year's cohort. There was such high demand for the programme it was expanded from 20 places in previous years.
The fact it is so selective was one of the things that attracted Jeremy. "It's something to achieve."
He admits the two-year programme is tough. "Teaching for the first few years is, anyway. Once you're teaching you think, 'Holy hell, this is using all of my skills'."
Teach First NZ chief executive Jay Allnutt makes no apologies for having a high bar. "Learning to be an outstanding teacher is hard, so our participants must have high prior achievement and be ready for the challenge."
Trainees are only placed in decile 1–5 schools in Auckland and Northland but to-date 80 per cent have gone into decile 1–3 schools.
This year 60 per cent of the cohort is training to be much-needed science, technology and maths teachers. One-third are Māori or Pasifika, giving them invaluable cultural understanding and language skills for the schools they are going into.
One of the ways Teach First aims to reduce educational inequality is by giving lower-decile schools a choice of quality teachers, says Jay.
More teachers for low income schools
Professor Graeme Aitken, the University of Auckland's Education and Social Work Dean, agrees the programme has increased the pool of talented teacher candidates for lower decile schools.
Teach First's commitment to working with schools in low income communities aligned with his faculty's commitment to equity and social justice.
Partnering with Teach First offered the University of Auckland the chance to experiment with a new approach to preparing teachers.
"I was keen to open new pathways into secondary teaching and therefore to attract to teaching those who might otherwise not have considered teaching as an option. It is important for universities to be at the forefront of innovative programmes," says Graeme.
Demand for Teach First teachers has been so high that everyone has been placed, Jay says. "We've had fantastic feedback from schools. Every principal has said they would take more teachers because they're so energetic and enthusiastic."
Aorere College in Papatoetoe has taken an average of two Teach First trainees every year since 2015 – and all of them stayed on at the school after they qualified.
Principal Greg Pierce says Teach First teachers hit the ground running and are ready to go from day one.
"They're actively involved in co-curricular activities and that helps them build relationships with the students; it puts them in a different light. They are also always prepared to look at their practice and consider new strategies to improve their students' learning."
Another benefit of having Teach First participants at the school is they come with life experience, he says. "They haven't just gone straight to university and they're not judgemental.
They are empathetic to our students but still have high expectations of them."
One of the biggest challenges some of Aorere College's students face is housing and overcrowding.
"That's a constant issue. We give students homework to do at night but they might not have anywhere to do it or access to a computer. Some of them are transient and often have to shift."
Teach First teachers are more likely to remain teachers, Greg believes. "They were high-performing students themselves and could go into higher paying professions."
Jeremy says becoming a Teach First teacher was a turning point in his life.
Growing up in Nelson, he never really believed there was inequality and poverty in New Zealand. "The year I started the programme I'd boldly claimed that New Zealand doesn't have a class system. I had no idea."
Students at James Cook High School are 50 per cent Māori, 40 per cent Pasifika, 6 per cent 'other' (mainly African, Asian and Middle Eastern) and just 4 per cent Pākehā – a big change from the mainly Pākehā decile 6 Nayland College he went to.
"I'm the minority in the classroom. It decentralises my perspective of the world. I get to see so many other world views, cultural beliefs and definitions of success. How I saw that growing up is much different than my students."
Jeremy says he believes his students have taught him more than he has taught them. "But I know I've already made a difference in some of their lives."

San Diego County judge denies request to immediately halt San Diego Unified's COVID vaccination mandate
The San Diego District Judge rejected the group's request to immediately suspend the vaccination mandate against COVID-19 of the United School District of San Diego and instead said he would address the issue on Monday, December 20th.
The district's mandate has already been temporarily blocked by a panel of judges of the 9th U.S. District Court of Appeals in another lawsuit focusing on religious exemptions. However, district officials say they expect the order to be revoked soon because the district has removed a policy opposed by judges.
The December 2 decision by San Diego County High Court Judge John Meyer is the latest development in a lawsuit filed by Let Them Breathe, a North-based state group that fought school masks and vaccination mandates against COVID-19, including which San Diego Unified adopted in late September for staff and students 16 and older.
Under this policy, these students and staff members must receive a second dose of the vaccine by December 20th. The deadline for receiving the first dose was November 29.
The mandate states that if students do not meet the conditions, they will not be allowed to participate in personal learning or extracurricular activities and will have to learn from home through independent learning starting on Monday, January 24, when the second semester of classes begins.
District officials said implementing the vaccine would help reduce the spread of COVID-19 in the community and minimize learning disabilities because fewer students will have to be quarantined or isolated.

Let them breathe in their lawsuit claims that San Diego Unified does not have the authority to self-administer the vaccine and that such mandates violate students' right to personal education. The group also argues that exceptions to personal credentials must be allowed for any school vaccinations required.
A second lawsuit challenging the district's mandate was filed by a Scripps Ranch high school student who claims the district is discriminatory when it offers exceptions to vaccination conditions for secular reasons but not for religious reasons.
Unlike the Let Them Breathe lawsuit, which calls for the elimination of the entire mandate to vaccinate students against COVID in the county, the Scripps Ranch student lawsuit calls on San Diego Unified to stop granting exemptions for secular reasons unless they accept religious student exemptions.
The district said that it offers an exemption from the student mandate for medical reasons, which is in line with state policies on vaccination requirements.
San Diego Unified also offers vaccination deferrals for certain students, such as those who are pregnant, homeless, foster, or from military families. They do not have to receive the vaccine immediately, but they will have to in the end, the district said.
However, the district does not allow the exclusion of students due to personal beliefs or religious reasons. It offers religious exemptions for staff because federal law requires it, district officials said.
The state has announced it will implement a school vaccination mandate against COVID, and there are plans to allow exemptions based on personal conviction once it begins. It already allows medical exemptions from the 10 current school vaccines required by the state, such as smallpox and smallpox, but does not allow exemptions from personal belief.
On Nov. 28, District 9 judges temporarily suspended San Diego Unified's mandate to vaccinate students as long as the district continues to offer a postponement of vaccinations to pregnant students. The next day, San Diego Unified said it had removed the delay option for pregnant students and asked the 9th District to remove its mandate block.
The court has not yet announced whether it will lift the ban.
According to San Diego Unified officials, a judge in the Let Them Breathe case said there was no emergency requiring an urgent blockade of the county's mandate.
"This is obviously an important topic for many people for many reasons," Mark Bresee, a lawyer representing San Diego Unified, said in a statement. "We are pleased that Judge Meyer has taken steps to ensure that the matter is heard and decided soon, but with ample opportunity for the district and court to thoroughly consider legal requirements before making a decision."
According to Let Them Breathe Officials, Meyer has rejected their request for an immediate termination of the district's mandate because it will not affect unvaccinated students until January 24th.
"While recognizing the deep sense of urgency on behalf of families who feel compelled by SDUSD to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, the Let's Choose community is happy that we put SDUSD on record in court … stating that there are no consequences for unvaccinated students before January 24, "said Sharon McKeeman, founder of Let Them Breathe, in a statement. ◆
Is San Diego Unified School District a nonprofit?
The Interim Board of Directors met for the first time on February 6, 1956, and the Association for the Provision of Community Services to the United School District of San Diego (CSA) was established under California law as a nonprofit corporation.
What is the California Unified School District? A single school district (in Arizona, California, Kansas, and Oregon) or a single school district (in Illinois), in the United States, is a school district that generally includes and manages both elementary schools (kindergarten to high school or lower high school) and high schools (grades 9–12) …
Are charter schools part of San Diego Unified School District?

Blind students learning remotely encounter accessibility barriers
The shift to remote learning has been extremely challenging for blind students, with some still facing unresolved accessibility issues.
The National Federation of the Blind and other organizations have warned for months that colleges are failing to provide blind students with the timely accommodations and support to which they are legally entitled.
In some instances, blind students have had such a poor experience with remote learning that they decided to take time away from their studies rather than continue online, said Chris Danielsen, director of public relations at the NFB. This is a concerning trend, as research suggests students who take a pause from their education sometimes decide it's not worth coming back.
Many students have reported that the digital class materials colleges provided for remote learning are incompatible with screen readers, Danielsen said. Physical materials, including Braille and embossed diagrams, graphs and equations, sometimes arrive too late for the corresponding class.
Working Toward Digital Equity
This article draws on reporting conducted for a new Inside Higher Ed report, "The Digital Divide: Lessons From COVID-19." The special report examines how the digital divide is shifting and what solutions institutions and instructors can employ to improve digital equity for all students. The report is available to download at this link.
Getting accessible course materials in time for class has been a recurring problem for Salvador Villa, a kinesiology and health education student at Austin Community College. While the college's accessibility office is fairly quick at converting worksheets and notes into a format that he can read on his screen reader, some of his professors have been preparing lessons much later than they did before the pandemic. Some professors send class materials to the accessibility office just hours before class, meaning Villa doesn't receive them in time.
"Everything became more last-minute once we went virtual," Villa said. "I've learned that when it comes to getting the materials you need, you have to push. One of my professors has 700 students, and I know I'm not their No. 1 priority. I will talk to them during office hours and email them before and after class, but when everything's virtual, it's not like I can physically show up at their office and say, 'Hey, I need you to help out with this.'"
While some of his professors have gone above and beyond to ensure he has everything he needs to succeed, Villa said he doesn't hold any grudges against those that haven't helped him out. He knows they have a full plate at the moment. That said, a little more communication would go a long way.
"It would be helpful if professors could reach out and say, 'Let's have a little chat about how you work,' instead of assuming we'll figure it out as we go," he said. "Every blind student has a different way of working. Some are more tech-savvy, and some prefer Braille. It just depends on what they're comfortable with, what they like and what they know."
Some students have faced particular challenges studying STEM subjects, said Trisha Kulkarni, president of National Association of Blind Students, a division of the NFB. A computer science major at Stanford University, Kulkarni is currently living in Ohio and studying complex mathematics remotely. Graphs and equations are much easier for her to understand when they are embossed on physical paper, she said. Unfortunately, it can take weeks for these materials to arrive in the mail.
Synchronous lectures on videoconferencing platforms have been difficult to follow, too, Kulkarni said.
"Zoom and other platforms have done a lot to make the platform more accessible from a navigation standpoint, but they haven't really tackled how to get visual information off of someone's screen as they're sharing it," she said. "Recently a lot of my professors have relied on screen sharing to keep students engaged, so that's been pretty difficult for me to follow."
Like Villa, Kulkarni said the inability to drop by a professor's office and ask for help has been challenging.
"I didn't realize how often I map out on the table what I think a graphic looks like to confirm my understanding," she said. "That's tough in a virtual format."
Blind students have also faced significant challenges with online testing in the past year. Villa said he had to take several exams much closer together than his peers because he received accessible exam materials late, which was a stressful experience. College placement tests have also been problematic for some students in the past year. Danielsen discussed the issue with Inside Higher Ed for a recent special report, "The Digital Divide: Lessons From COVID-19."
The College Board, for example, moved its Advanced Placement examinations online in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The examination board initially failed to provide blind students with nonelectronic hard copies of the examinations, citing security concerns about blind students potentially cheating or leaking exam questions, but it has since changed its policy.
"There's only so much you can do with a screen reader. When you're studying something complex, sometimes you need a hard copy," Danielsen said. "Most Braille displays are one line, with between 14 and 40 cells across. You can't represent a complex graphic like a map or a graph like that. Mathematical equations are very problematic to display in that way as well."
The NFB and five blind students filed a complaint against the College Board with the United States Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights in early May 2020.
In a press release at the time, Mark Riccobono, president of the NFB, said the College Board was "propounding a false choice between equal access and security" and forcing a "one-size-fits-all accommodation" on students in violation of federal law.
The dispute was resolved later that month and the civil rights complaint withdrawn. Admitting no wrongdoing, the College Board agreed to provide approved students wishing to take or retake the test with hard-copy Braille tests and tactile graphics.

Sir James Paul McCartney (born 18 June 1942) is an English singer, songwriter and composer. He is internationally known as a singer and bassist of the Beatles. With singer and guitarist John Lennon, he contributed music and lyrics to a lot of the band's songs.

6 Discography
Paul was born at Walton Centre for Neurology and Neurosurgery (Past is Walton Hospital) in Walton, Liverpool, England, He was son of Jim and Mary McCartney, He had one brother is Michael McCertney and stepsister is called Ruth.
The Beatles (1962–1970)
McCartney with Lennon, Harrison and Starr, 1964
McCartney began writing songs before he was sixteen, and has written well over two hundred. His most famous song is "Yesterday", recorded by the Beatles in 1965. Since then around 2000 artists have recorded the song. Other songs written by McCartney for The Beatles include "Can't Buy Me Love", "Hey Jude", "Penny Lane", "Eleanor Rigby" and "Let It Be".
Often, Beatles songs would have "Lennon/McCartney" written on the record, and it would look like that they had written it together. In fact, most Lennon/McCartney songs were written by only one of them, or with one adding only small parts to the other's work. Each counted on the other to help make their songs better, so they agreed to share the credit equally.
Solo music
Since the Beatles had stopped working together in 1971, McCartney started a new band called Wings with his wife Linda. Wings also had many hit records, including "Band On The Run" and "Mull Of Kintyre". McCartney wrote "Live and Let Die", which became the theme song to a James Bond film with the same title. Wings disbanded in 1981.
Later McCartney recorded a single called "Ebony and Ivory" with Stevie Wonder, then "The Girl is Mine" and "Say, Say, Say" with Michael Jackson. A song with Jackson called "The Man" was released on McCartney's fifth solo album Pipes of Peace. He and Jackson became friends, but this ended after Jackson outbid McCartney for ownership of the publishing company which owned most of the Beatles's music.
McCartney had other hit songs, and also wrote and starred in the movie, Give My Regards to Broad Street, with Linda. The theme song from the movie, "No More Lonely Nights", was also a hit, but the movie did poorly,[2] and McCartney's popularity suffered. He had to work hard to prove his talent was still strong. He co-wrote new songs with Elvis Costello, and began touring more often than he had in years.
Along with popular music, McCartney also began composing classical music, including an oratorio about Liverpool. McCartney was knighted for his contributions to music and to British culture, and for his charity work. He bought John Lennon's former school, Quarry Bank, which he then turned into a performing arts school.
In 1990, the minor planet 4148 was named "McCartney" in his honour.[3] In 2010, he was honoured by President Barack Obama with the Gershwin Prize for his contributions to popular music.[4] He returned to the White House later that year as a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors.[5] In 2012, he became the last Beatle to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.[6]
McCartney married Linda Eastman, a photographer, in 1969. She had a daughter, Heather, whom he adopted. McCartney and Linda had three more children together, named Mary, Stella and James. Stella became a popular fashion designer after she grew up.
Linda died in 1998 of breast cancer (McCartney's mother also died from the same disease in 1956). He married model Heather Mills in 2002; the couple's daughter Beatrice was born in 2003. McCartney and Mills separated in 2006, and, after a long battle over a settlement, McCartney and Mills divorced in March 2008.
McCartney married New Yorker Nancy Shevell, 51, in a civil ceremony at Old Marylebone Town Hall, London, on 9 October 2011. The couple had been dating since November 2007.[7]

The probe affects two Dallas districts and the results of these races may not be known for days while authorities sort through the authenticity of 671 mail-in ballots.
Dallas Assistant District Attorney Andy Chatham told The Dallas Morning News that officials opened this investigation after an "off the charts" number of allegations, especially in the West Dallas race, surfaced.
"What matters to me is getting the ballots, looking at them, and finding evidence of wrongdoing, and finding out who's responsible for that," he said, noting it is not clear who is responsible for the purported voter irregularities but acknowledged something fraudulent occurred. In Texas, voting illegally is a second-degree felony.
The filed court documents revealed that on Saturday night Chatham asked a judge to sequester the questionable 671 mail-in ballots in races for District 2 and District 6. On Sunday, Dallas County Elections Administrator Toni Pippins-Poole told the Morning News two City Council races remained "in limbo" while officials scrutinized the authenticity of the 671 mail-in ballots, of which 426 were cast in the race for a West Dallas council seat in District 6, and 245 came from District 2.
Chatham said, in April, his office began receiving complaints from Dallas County residents who said they never requested mail-in ballots but received them. Mid-month this situation became known publicly once West Dallas-area pastor James Armstrong alerted local media and officials that some of his senior citizen congregants provided evidence they received absentee ballots although they never applied for them, as Breitbart Texas reported.
Subsequently, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings and State Representative Eric Johnson (D-Dallas) inked a letter in late April authorizing Pippins-Poole to "take whatever steps necessary to restore voter confidence in West Dallas," as Breitbart Texas reported. The letter underscored the Dallas officials' concerns of "possible voter fraud" in the district.
Democrat Monica Alonzo, the West Dallas favorite and the front-runner for the District 6 council seat must wait while elections authorities verify all those mail-in ballots.
"We are very excited to have the early voting results we want to make sure that everyone who voted has had the opportunity to have their voices heard," Alonzo told supporters Saturday night. She said wants to ensure officials address voter fraud allegations, KERA reported.
So far, officials threw out 40 suspicious mail-in ballots, according to the Dallas newspaper. Chatham said the 40 people whose names were on those ballots came to the polls to vote in person on Saturday and cast provisional ballots, which he said were counted.
Provisional ballots often allow individuals to vote often in the event of an administrative error; however, cast provisional ballots are kept separate from regular ballots and a voter's records will be reviewed by a board to determine if the ballot will be counted or rejected, says the Texas Secretary of State's office.
