Researchers say this new frog species is the world's smallest vertebrae. You can see just how small. It doesn't even take up half of that dime 1. Scientists discovered the frog in an island nation Papua New Guinea where lives in tropical forest. What's facscinationg is the researchers think these animals are born directly as frogs. They don't go through the tadpole 2 stage. Scientists think the frogs will be helpful in studying in extreme body size.
More than 13 million Americans are out of work. The question that you hear from a lot of young people is if they will be able to find a job when they graduate from the college. Puppie Hullow has report on one major where students are getting job offers before they even get a diploma.
Facebook founder 3 Mark Zuckerberg may have dropped out of college. But back on campus, computer science is hot. And students with the coding skills are burning out of the job markets. By graduation, how many companies reached out you about working for them? At the same, between 10 or 20 reached out to me just before graduating. How many job offers do you get? Uhm, Around 4 or 5. You haven't even graduated yet. How many comapanies have reached out to you? Between 10 and 20.
It's a common story for computer science majors. Most of my friends, also the CS students, do have the same similar feeling, they are not really worried about jobs. Just look at cap job postings to see the demand. At NYU that's translated into 94% placement rate for computer science graduates last spring. For the class of 2011, computer science majors did the best on the job hunt. 56% had a job offer before graduation, compared with 41% overall. What your firends tell you who aren't computer science majors about getting a job? They think I don't live in reality. An average starting salary of 66,000 bulks and job security maybe why the major is taking off. Within a enrollment 4 at NYU of 50% since 2007. Many students whether they are computer science majors or not are starting to understand coding is literacy of the future and they are wanting to get to that.
Tore and Dichare both participated in a summer programme offered by Hack 5 NY, founded by Aven and Columbia professor Chris Weagans to cultivate the talents of budding text stars. and show them their career choices are broader than just Google and Goman Sax. Result first and now. The hacking 6 community may speak a slightly different language. I mean you can present hatering Google out of..... I mean what? haha
But one thing is so clear. This is where their jobs are. I get email everyday, asking if I have a student who can build X or build Y. But isn't there a _ I mean are the jobs here today gone tomorrow? Is the Internet can be gone tomorrow? No I don't think the jobs will be gone tomorrow either. In New York, Puppie Hullow, CNN Money.
A lot of reports on an event are coming up on Monday. All are inspired by the same man. Doctor Martin Luther King Junior, the leader of the American civil rights movement in 1950s and 60s. His memorial on the National Mall in Washington was unveiled last year. The federal holiday hornouring Dr. King dates back 26 years. _ the third Monday on January because that's around the time of his birthday, January 15th. Even though we are off a day on Monday. Many businesses and schools will be closed. The Martin Luther King Junior Day of Service is described as a day on, not a day off. What does this mean is Americans are encouraged to get out to volunteer could be helping 7 at the nation conservancy, cleaning up a local park and sense the spirit of Dr. King to make the country a better place to live.
Using art to hornour MLK. The last impact of teachers, measuring VMI at schools and hip 8 up that helps kids. These are small samples at the stories right now on CNN's new education blog. It's called schools of God. It's awesome 9. It's about all things of education. Check it out today at CNNstudentnews.com.
And before we go. we can force to look at someone's vocation 10 pictures. We guarantee they didn't look like this. This is a time last video of one man's journey around the world. He quit his job, grabbed this camera and just took off. 17 countries, 25,000 miles. All of that are less than a year. He used more than 6,000 pictures to make this video but he actually snapped more than 10,000 time left shots and 15,000 pictures in videos on his trip. Spending now much time behind the camera can make you shotter. Although obviously lens of some incredible pictures. That is our journey for a day. We are off on Monday for Martin Luther King Day. Hope you enjoy the weekend. Hope to see you on Tuesday.
