WATCH LIVE | India lands its Chandrayaan-3 rover on the moon

NEW DELHI (AP) — India was counting down to landing a spacecraft near the moon’s south pole Wednesday — an unchartered territory that scientists believe could hold important reserves of frozen water and precious elements.A lander with a rover inside was orbiting before attempting to touch down on the lunar surface, creating an agonizing wait for India’s space scientists in the southern city of Bengaluru. India is making its second attempt in four years to join the United States, the Soviet Union and China in achieving the landmark. India unexpectedly got into a race with Russia, which had planned to land its Luna-25 spacecraft in the same lunar region on Monday.

Getting paid three times, of course.Americans who get paid biweekly on Fridays will see three paychecks hit their bank account during a few months that happen to have five Fridays.“So if you’re getting paid on the first, third and fifth Fridays, that means you have a bonus paycheck, which obviously you still earned, but is potentially outside of your regular budget and kind of like a mini windfall or a mini bonus,” Chanelle Bessette, banking specialist with NerdWallet, told Nexstar.Not every employee who gets biweekly checks will get an “extra” check during the same months, however.Workers who received their first check on Jan. 6 will see three-payment months fall on March and September, according to Alliant Credit Union. If you had to wait until Jan. 13 to get paid, your three-paycheck months will be June and December.So what’s behind the financial phenomenon?Dividing 52 weeks by two — since payments are biweekly — me...

It had two addresses. The archive worker told the couple that it looked like the family had left Germany because of the Nazis.How did he know?The residence card, the man answered, sported the letters “ISR,” indicating the family was Jewish. It also included a note. If the family left, the Nazis needed to be notified.“It was a super meaningful day for the both of us,” Malcolm, 35, said. “I was so excited that my boyfriend got to learn more about this part of his family history.”It’s this longing to reconstruct the circuitous path of people and culture during the Holocaust period that drove Malcolm to a certificate program at the University of Denver unlike any other in the country.The Nazi-Era Art Provenance Researc...
