Days after receiving USCG Approval for Cadet Deck and Engine Programs through July 2018, USMMA, is reportedly listed as number one in the dubious category of 25 US Universities with the Worst Professors.
According to the latest figures compiled by an education think-tank, many of the worst profs are apparently not doing a very good job teaching in Midwest and on the East Coast schools.
Since today is National Honesty Day - " I can not tell a lie" This phrase is attributed to the first US President, George Washington. Perhaps he had his fingers crossed. Some biographers claim he never said these words. Believe it, or not?
These are words to live by, especially today, which is National Honesty Day!
We should always be truthful and straightforward. But, particularly today. National Honesty Day, which began in the 1990s in response to April 1st, April Fools' Day.
Honestly... No kidding!
Mothers Day is almost here and City Island Images wants everyone to celebrate that special day, which is coming up very soon.
This is the one day out of the year when we remember all the things that makes mom so very special and a wonderful lady.
Whether she is your Mom, Step-Mom, Grandma, Great Grandma, or Mom...
Please send us your digital pix and we will gladly feature it on City Island Images.
This is a perfect way to share your own pictures and images and a delightful way to tell those special moms in your life how much they mean to you.
WE LOVE MOMS!!!
