In 1971, the Sloan Commission on Cable Communications likened the ongoing developments in cable television to the first uses of movable type and the invention of the telephone. Cable's proponents in the late 1960s and early 1970s hoped it would eventually remedy all the perceived ills of broadcast television, including lowest-common-denominator programming, inability to serve the needs of local audiences, and failure to recognize the needs of cultural minorities. Yet a quarter century after the "blue sky" era, cable television programming closely resembled, and indeed depended upon, broadcast television programming. Whatever happened to the Sloan Commission's "revolution now in sight"?

Report Cites Child Marriage For Girls As Major Problem
Bibi Roza, a 6-year-old girl from Pakistan's Swat Valley, whose family said tribal authorities are forcing them to marry off their daughter to resolve a family feud.
A new report using UN statistics estimates there are about 700 million girls around the world who were forced to get married before the age of 18.
The Save the Children report -- issued on October 11 to mark International Day Of The Girl Child -- said a girl under 15 is forced into marriage every seven seconds and that many girls only 10 years of age are being forced to marry.
Citing statistics from the UN children's agency UNICEF, the study says that by the year 2050 there could be some 1.2 billion underage girls forced into child marriage.
The report, titled Every Last Girl, says early marriage for girls usually prevents them from getting an education, from seeking work, and often continues a cycle of poverty.
"Early marriage starts a cycle of disadvantage that denies girls the most basic rights to learn, develop, and be children," said Susanna Krueger, CEO of Save the Children Germany, in a statement.
The study ranks 144 countries on its treatment of girls.
Afghanistan was 121st on the list, and Pakistan was 88th. Iran (70th), Azerbaijan (69th), Georgia (62nd), Kyrgyzstan (59th), and Tajikistan (57th) were also rather low in the rankings.
Serbia (20th), Belarus (24th), Macedonia (28th), and Kazakhstan (30th) placed high on the list.
Countries in Sub-Saharan Africa have the worst record for the mistreatment of girls, but the United States and Britain also have a disproportionately high rate of teenage pregnancies and child marriages were deemed to be "relatively common" in Germany.

Q: Keep Global Variables Constant in Postman? Background
I have a variable in postman and i randomly generate an uid for creating a userid for signup and login test.
Work Done in Postman
In signup Request, on the pre-request script
var uid="{{$randomInt}}"
postman.setGlobalVariable("IID",uid);`

In Login Request, body is set to :
  {"uid":"{{IID}}" }

Issue
The issue is everytime {{IID}} is executed,a new value is generated.
However,my motto is to create a userid randomly on signup and use it during
login,which fails as {{IID}} gives me a new uid ,instead of uid set
during Signup(using postman.setGlobalVariable("IID",uid);).
Query
Any ideas ,how to everytime randomly generate userid on start of flow and then use that userid in rest of flows in POSTMAN.
Flow is SignUp action followed by Login action.

A: Just use any library available in sandbox mode to generate random ID in pre-request script.
You can even make postman.setGlobalVariable("IID", Math.floor(Math.random() * 100)); or use lodash's _.random(min, max) for such purposes.
Everything else will work without changes(I mean "{{ID}}" in next requests' body/headers/URL)

The future of Truckee children's museum
Andrew Cristancho
Seth Lightcap/Sierra SunThe KidZone Museum features an interactive space exhibit donated by the Habitot Children's Museum of Berkeley. Tanner Mott, 16 months. and Ashlyn Sick, 21 months, above, take control of the Space Shuttle on Wednesday.
In the early 1990s, several Truckee parents saw a need for a new community facility where families with young children could come to play and learn together.
In 1992 the dream shared by Susan Ray and Judy Thomas gave life to the Sierra Nevada Children's Museum, a small space tucked between a convenience store and a restaurant in a Truckee retail center, where volunteers offered music and language classes, computer lessons and other hands-on learning projects for young children.
In the late 1990s The Community Collaborative of Tahoe-Truckee conducted a study showing that local kindergarten-aged children were trailing their peers elsewhere in their gross motor skills, said Phebe Bell of the Truckee Tahoe Community Foundation's Phebe Bell. The study concluded that the kids were living in relatively cramped homes with few physical outlets.
"For parents it is isolating experience to be stuck inside," Bell said.
It was then that the museum's supporters decided on a relatively fast fix, over an 18-month period purchasing the large white tent that in 2001 would become the new home of the KidZone museum.
They added a large indoor play structure and spaces for infants to crawl over soft vinyl cushions. The Truckee-Donner Recreation and Park District leases the museum location from the Tahoe Truckee Unified School District, and then charges the KidZone museum a nominal annual rent of $1, according to KidZone Director Carol Meagher.
"We are the only indoor play facility [in the area], and the only one where parents can play with their children," Meagher said.
Although no new study has been conducted, Meagher said she is confident the KidZone is addressing the needs of children to develop their gross- and fine-motor skills as well as their cognitive and social abilities. The KidZone Museum serves 17,000 visitors a year, Meagher added.
Families can buy either a day pass or join as members. All fees subsidize the museum's programs.
The KidZone takes in $30,000 to $40,000 in membership fees each year, while spending $30,000 per month to maintain facilities, pay staff and keep the lights on, according to Meagher. The museum makes up the deficit through grants and donations. Without the community assistance, Meagher said KidZone would be unable to afford the museum's exhibits and programs.
For instance, a new hands-on space exhibit had a retail price tag of $30,000. KidZone paid for about $10,000, but the rest was donated or loaned.
The Contractors Association of Truckee Tahoe installed electronics and donated other materials for the Space Zone, while the exhibit's rocket ship and an interactive mission control display was loaned at no charge by another children's museum, Habitot in Berkeley.
The space exhibit includes a magnetic wall and chalkboard hand-crafted by Mountain Forge. A fresh coat of paint was donated by Easterbrook Painting donated a fresh coat of paint and Real Graphic Source provided a huge globe to complete the exhibit. An anonymous donor furnished the museum $2,000 worth of costumes, Meagher said.
Six years operating in what amounts to a tent has some supporters wondering when Sierra Nevada Children's Museum can find a permanent structure for the KidZone. The museum's board has been searching for a permanent location for the better part of a decade, Bell said. During that time, the KidZone staff has expanded the museum's exhibits while also fundraising.
The existing KidZone site is by its nature temporary. The school district could give the museum a year to vacate the land at any time it chooses, Meagher said.
KidZone has now joined the Arts and Culture Council of Truckee-Tahoe in a search for a permanent home.
Meagher said officials with the North Lake Tahoe Resort association have promised $50,000 in seed money for a new museum. The children's museum has also applied to the Queen of Hearts philanthropic organization for a $20,000 grant.
"We are working together to have the KidZone be a part of a center of arts and culture," Meagher said.
The supporters' new dream is for a permanent structure that could house dance studios, a theater, rehearsal space for musicians and, of course, an expanded KidZone Museum.
Meagher said the Arts and Culture Council of Truckee-Tahoe must still conduct a feasibility study to find the best location for the proposed arts center. No timeline has been established yet.
Museum board member Jennifer Standteiner, the mother of two small children, said the KidZone definitely runs into space limitations. Many times, the museum has to remove exhibits rather than add them to its permanent displays. Meagher said the tent only holds 60 people.
"We often have to turn people away in the winter," she said.

Columbus, Ohio – The Ohio State track and field program will open up its 2017 indoor season on Friday, Jan. 6, at French Field House. Field events are slated to begin at 4 p.m., and track events will start at 4:30 p.m.
Karen Dennis, director of track & field and cross country, is entering her 15th year in Columbus, and this will be the first of eight meets for the Buckeyes before they head to Geneva, Ohio, for the Big Ten Championships (Feb. 24-25).
The Ohio State track and field program is excited to unveil a new Olympic banner at French Field House on Friday; Hartfield's ceremony will begin at 5:45 p.m. This summer, Hartfield represented the United States in Rio in the long jump. During his time at Ohio State, Hartfield captured five Big Ten individual titles, broke Jesse Owens' 77-year old school record in the long jump, was a four-time All-American and he was named the 2011 USTFCCCA Great Lakes Outdoor Field Athlete of the Year. All in all, Hartfield captured 19 individual titles between the long jump and triple jump as a Buckeye.
Fans are allowed to park for free in the north French Field House/St. John Arena lots or the south French Field House lot.
The men's team returns 38.5 of their 63.5 points scored at last year's Big Ten Championships where they placed fifth. Nick Gray, a two-time indoor All-American, will pace the Buckeyes' sprints unit. In 2016 as a freshman, Gray broke two Big Ten championship records: he won the 200m dash with a time of 20.71, which also ranks No. 2 in program history, and he was a member of the 4x400m relay team that captured gold with a time of 3:06.38, which is the third-fastest in program history.
Zack Bazile, Donovan Robertson and Jared Fleming are three upperclassmen who scored at the 2016 Big Ten Championships that will look to contribute in even more meaningful action. Bazile racked up 11 points for the Scarlet and Gray at the conference meet last February; he placed third in the long jump and fourth in the triple jump. Robertson is a two-time indoor All-American in the 60m hurdles with a seventh-place finish at the NCAA Championships as a freshman and 13th-place showing as a sophomore. Fleming stakes claim to the fourth-fastest 800m run time in program history and will look to improve upon his eighth-place showing at the 2016 Big Ten's.
The women return over 62 percent of their scoring at the Big Ten meet from a year ago headlined by senior Aaliyah Barnes and sophomore Karrington Winters, both whom scored in multiple events.
Barnes set the school record in the 200m dash with a time of 23.27 to take silver at Big Ten's, and she also earned points in the 60m dash with an eighth-place showing. Winters took fourth in the 600m run with a time of 1:30.28 and was a member of the 4x400m relay team that set a new program standard with a time of 3:32.88 to place second.
In addition to Barnes and Winters, Rachel Weber, Chantel Ray, Olivia Small and Maggie Barrie are four upperclassmen returning with Big Ten points. Weber, who ranks second in program history in the 800m run, placed eighth in that event in 2016. Ray (eighth place/60m hurdles), Barrie (eighth place/200m dash) and Small (eighth place/long jump) all will have a chance to score more points for the Buckeyes in 2017.
Mikaela Seibert and Sade Olatoye both made their presence felt as true freshmen. At Big Ten's, Seibert collected a fourth-place finish in the triple jump with a season-best bound of 12.59m (41-3.75), and Olatoye finished sixth in the weight throw with a heave of 19.92m (62-4.25).
The Buckeyes will be competing against Dayton (women only), Central State University, Ashland University, Forza Athletics, Indy's Racing Cheetahs and Metaphoric Speed International.


Politics aside, I think we can all breathe just a little easier knowing that the federal government is no longer in shutdown mode.
And on top of that, this morning, as I write, the IRS has begun accepting filed tax returns. Which means, well … it's about to get real.
Now, leaving aside the fact that the IRS will probably be dealing with the ramifications of the Trump shutdown for quite some time, we are all going to be busy around here at Team TriState Tax Resolution LLC.
I want you to play the tape forward: it's the day before tax day, April 14th, and other New York Metro taxpayers around you are scrambling. My phone will be going wild of course, and my email inbox will overheat … but I'll take pleasure knowing you're enjoying the space that our services provide for you — sipping on something delicious and enjoying the turn of Spring.
This is why we're here! To help you process tax season. Shutdown or not.
Every year, tax season brings us dozens of gifts in the form of great individuals like you. We get to use skills that we're passionate about to help you handle something you … might not be passionate about.
And that's exactly as it should be. We understand you have unique gifts and passions yourself, and need to be active in your community and business, doing things that drive you. That's why we love what we do: we get to free you up to be your best self.
Often, our New York Metro clients acknowledge the mutual benefit that comes from such a relationship, and year after year that verbal affirmation keeps us going, so we encourage you to keep it coming. If we've helped you in the past, thank you for your generous feedback! It really means the world to us.
B) Would you forward this note to anyone you think would benefit from help with their taxes? Especially if it's someone you think would prefer to file with a personable touch.
You can let him or her know we are willing to review their tax return to make sure that everything was done right for them. They can call us anytime at (718) 841-7317 and mention you referred them. We're excited to hear from some of your friends and family!
Fast forward to a month or two from now, when you can relax, knowing that TODAY you took the steps toward financial responsibility for the good of you or your family, that you saved a bunch of money on your taxes, and (perhaps even better) that you didn't have to deal with the dirty tax details. At the end of the day … that's our job.

Soccer is no game to John Klicpera. It is the 24-year-old homeless man's lifeline.
"It keeps me away from a lot of other negative things," he said.
A member of the Hesed House Infernos soccer team shakes off a missed goal during the team's last game of the season.
Klicpera abused drugs in his teenage years and eventually landed in prison. He did his time, went through drug treatment in Rockford and then returned to Aurora, a city that feels like an "old playground" to him.
So when the opportunity arose to join a newly formed homeless soccer team, Klicpera joined in part to keep out of harm's way.
He had never played soccer before. But Klicpera was in good company because neither had the coach.
"I've never touched a soccer ball in my life," said Jason Holmes, who started the team last fall after being inspired by a late night of TV watching.
Holmes, 32, of Aurora, said that after seeing "Kicking It," a documentary film that chronicles players in the 2006 Homeless World Cup in South Africa, he immediately began researching the local street soccer scene. He e-mailed Lawrence Cann, president and founder of Street Soccer USA, and found out that no homeless soccer teams existed in the Chicago area.
With Cann's long-distance support, Holmes took a self-guided crash course in the sport through library books and soon posted recruitment fliers throughout the Hesed House homeless shelter in Aurora, where he works as a program director.
The fliers drew a meager response, so Holmes grabbed a ball one day in October and staged a game across the street.
"Guys just came over to play," Holmes said.
Word of the team quickly spread. At the first official practice for team Inferno, more than a dozen came to play. The team since has an open-door policy and has had as many as 25 players on its roster at one time. Holmes said the "biggest indicator" of success is the number of people who continue to play.
Since its inception, the team has been a refuge for the players -- homeless men who sometimes must angle for a bed to sleep on at night.
"You've got to become a survivor," Klicpera said. "I'm 24; I don't believe I should be where I am. (Homelessness) is really hard -- the people, the times, going from here to there. ... (Soccer) is positive. It is something to look forward to."
In the past year, Juan Venecia went from using crack to being the Infernos' team manager. The 52-year-old deserted his home in Texas to escape a life that wasn't doing him any favors. "It was time for me to go," he said.
Venecia said the homeless shelter has been "rehab" for him. Soccer helps keep him in shape and keep his routine going, so days don't blend together.
Some of the men say the team has changed them for the better.
"(Soccer) brought (the guys) more together. We never talked to each other before," Klicpera said. "Soccer makes (each of) us a better person."
"I need to dig myself out of the hole I'm in and try to get on level ground," said Jeremy Sebek, 24, a team member who came to Aurora from Sandwich after he was kicked out of his mom's house..
The sentiment was shared among the players -- homelessness is temporary. Almost half of the players are living in homes now.
"Hopefully none of these guys will be homeless in July," Holmes said.

Since we're still waiting for spring to arrive here in Sweden, it's snowing today again, I'm having a coffee and looking over the schedule for this spring/summer.
It's a lot happening this spring, starting with TechDays 23/24:th of March. This event happens in Örebro and has a lot of good speakers lined up: Martin Lidholm, Björn Axell, Hasain Alshakarti, Anders Bengtsson, Daniel Bugday, Elisabeth Stjernstoft, Eva Fors and a lot more. I have a session on Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 with Live Migration and clustering.
Then in June, 7 – 10:th it's time for TechEd North America which this year takes place in New Orleans. I've been given my first "real" breakout session this time, after having had numerous product demonstrations. A PD takes place during lunch, so one might say that attendance has been "so so". Hope for some more people this time, and I'm looking forward to it!
As we're getting closer to TechEd in Berlin I'm actually prepared quite good this time. My presentation came out great and I turned it in on time. That doesn't happen every time, let me tell you.
There are a lot of Swedes presenting this time, I'm doing my best to cram them all into the schedule. I've found some other sessions I'll be visiting also. Looking forward to meeting some old friends too, and hopefully make some new ones. My friend Sander Berkouwer (more about him in the next post) will be there, and a lot of people from Sweden and USA that I usually just meet at gatherings like this.
Are you going? You could contact me through the form, by email, or call me when you get there!
Windows 7 Tour finished with its last date yesterday in Karlskrona. A very good audience, lots of questions and the best lunch on the whole tour. After a VERY long drive home and too little sleep I'm at least up and about. Chasing Microsoft, finishing off my PPT for TechEd in Berlin, answering questions both here and by mail.
In a few weeks time it's time to pack the bags again and head off to Berlin for TechEd 2009. I'm holding a product demonstration on how to build a Hyper-V cluster with Live Migration based on Hyper-V Server 2008 R2. My demo is tested, the PPT almost done so I feel confident. If you already now have any questions on the subject, comment here or send me an email!

Start the program (Backup.vbs), window pops up asking if you want a full or an incremental backup, after you choose 1 or 2 it copies all files from a folder to a backup folder for a full backup, for the incremental it should create a folder with the date of the copy day, copy all the files that have been modified since the last full backup and copy them in that folder.

CCC 710 The forgetting of the Law and the infidelity to the covenant end in death: it is the Exile, apparently the failure of the promises, which is in fact the mysterious fidelity of the Savior God and the beginning of a promised restoration, but according to the Spirit. The People of God had to suffer this purification.42 In God's plan, the Exile already stands in the shadow of the Cross, and the Remnant of the poor that returns from the Exile is one of the most transparent prefigurations of the Church.
CCC 2625 In the first place these are prayers that the faithful hear and read in the Scriptures, but also that they make their own – especially those of the Psalms, in view of their fulfillment in Christ.59 The Holy Spirit, who thus keeps the memory of Christ alive in his Church at prayer, also leads her toward the fullness of truth and inspires new formulations expressing the unfathomable mystery of Christ at work in his Church's life, sacraments, and mission. These formulations are developed in the great liturgical and spiritual traditions. The forms of prayer revealed in the apostolic and canonical Scriptures remain normative for Christian prayer.

Survivors describe rescue after boat accidents at Lake Mead
"We were just praying to God: We can't die like this," one survivor recalled.

Hours before dawn, stranded in Lake Mead with no rescue in sight, Jeanette Zaltierrez prayed for her young daughter.
The 22-year-old woman was just thrown from a boat with eight other people. Her daughter and her friend's toddler were being thrashed by waves. She didn't know if she would be able to keep her head afloat for long.
"We told ourselves we can't give up," Zaltierrez said. "We have to stay strong and hopefully someone would find us."
Eventually someone did. Early Sunday, National Park Service rangers rescued 17 people from the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Nine people — including Zaltierrez, her boyfriend and their daughter — were pulled from the water while the rest were stranded onshore with another boat.
The incident is prompting the National Weather Service and Lake Mead rangers to re-evaluate weather warnings, a Park Service spokeswoman said.
Rangers said an overfull boat and hazardous weather probably caused the accident. Alcohol was not a contributing factor, Park Service spokeswoman Christie Vanover said.
Vanover said the recreation area's weather stations showed wind speeds up to 30 mph, with gusts up to 38 mph, when the boat capsized in water, which was about 76 degrees.
At the time of the accident there was no wind warning for boaters. Vanover said the National Weather Service is going to meet with rangers to determine if anything could be done differently.
Although two children and an adult were taken to a hospital after the accident, everyone involved has recovered, Zaltierrez said.
The sinking boat
The group of friends wanted to share a fun afternoon barbecue at Lover's Cove, Zaltierrez said. But once they were ready to leave, the winds were at dangerous levels.
Brian Esparza, another person with the group, said some friends took his larger boat toward the marina to unload heavier items. They were supposed to come back for everyone else, including a 3-year-old and Zaltierrez's 1-year-old daughter.
Time passed, the waves ebbed and flowed, and the others didn't return. Zaltierrez didn't realize it, but the others had beached the boat and started walking around the lake to reach her group. But there was no cell service to communicate.
Esparza said he wanted to wait until sunlight to leave, but the children were tired. The group decided to try their luck with the wind and open water in his friend's smaller boat.
"Which was a bad mistake, but I didn't want to keep them out there with their babies," the 25-year-old said.
During the barbecue, the waves were only 3 to 4 feet, he said. Once the boat left the cove, the waves reached up to 6 feet. The boat began taking on water.
They tried to stay calm, but one wave was too much. The boat flipped. Zaltierrez, a stay-at-home mom, clung to her daughter.
"It felt like we were drowning ourselves just trying to pull her up so no water would hit her," she said. "We were just praying to God: We can't die like this."
Getting to shore
Esparza has been boating on Lake Mead since he was in diapers. He has had a few close calls but has never capsized a boat.
He also never learned how to swim.
Because of the weather, Esparza decided to wear a life jacket that night. When the boat flipped, he saw his friend trying to swim to shore with her toddler, who was wearing a floaty.
"Eventually she's going to get tired of swimming, and she's not going to be able to hold the baby up," he remembers thinking. "It must have took us about an hour and a half to swim from where the boat landed to shore. I want to say no more than an eighth of a mile away from shore, but it was just the waves were so big."
Meanwhile Esparza's friend was having trouble with the Jet Ski he was on, and it overturned. He threw his life jacket to Zaltierrez, with the Jet Ski key in its pocket.
When Esparza made it to shore, he found the Jet Ski, which had been carried there by the waves, but he couldn't start it.
"We swam back into the water to give them floaties just in case the boat sank," he said. "Once I got there, maybe 20 minutes after that, the rescue team showed up, so I grabbed one of the babies, and I swam over to the rescue boat and gave them the baby."
After leaving the cove at 12:30 a.m., Esparza said, they didn't make it to the marina with the rescuers until around 4 a.m.
Calling for help
While Esparza was dog paddling in his life jacket, Zaltierrez was still praying.
Her phone was at the bottom of the lake, but her friend's husband held onto his. He called 911 while grabbing the sinking boat. The Lake Mead Interagency Communication Center received the call at 1:55 a.m. but could hear only faint screams for help. The phone was still in the man's mouth.
Zaltierrez's friend also managed to notify other people, she said. All they could do was wait until help arrived at 3 a.m.
"I was so thankful, super, super thankful," she said. "It was like it was a scene off of Titanic, and the guys are flashing the lights trying to find someone. That's exactly what it felt like."
Zaltierrez said she isn't afraid of the water now, but she wants others to understand how dangerous the wind is and that life jackets can save lives.
Esparza returned to the water on Monday to retrieve his friend's sunken boat. He said the experience won't keep him away from the lake.
"For the people that are out there, never underestimate the wind out there," he said. "Never underestimate the water. You never know what could go wrong."

The National Park Service provided the following safety tips for lake visitors:
— Wear a life jacket.
— Don't drive or operate a vessel when drinking alcohol.
— Know the weather and know your limits.
— Keep an eye on children, the water and other boaters.

More than 70 years ago, the presidents of eight junior colleges for women in Missouri met to organize an honor society to recognize academic achievement among their students. The organization was patterned after Phi Beta Kappa, the honor society for universities. Organizers choose the Greek initial letters Phi Theta Kappa for the new fraternity, which stand for phrominmon, thuemos, and katharotes, meaning wisdom, aspiration and purity, all qualities of the Phi Theta Kappa scholar.
1926: First chapter outside Missouri.
1929: American Association of Community and Junior Colleges recognized PTK as their official honor society.
Today, some 75,000 students, male and female, are initiated annually by the 1,100 member chapters, located in all 50 states, U.S. territorial possessions and university extensions abroad. They come from all types of backgrounds and have various educational goals.
The local Beta Zeta Chapter was organized in 1932 and now has more than 400 members. The Beta Zeta Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa serves all three campuses. Each campus at Paris, Greenville and Sulphur Springs has its own officers, activities, initiation ceremonies and advisors, but all work closely to function as one unit. Members are welcome and encouraged to attend meetings and participate in activities at the campus of their choice throughout the year.
Membership is based on scholarship, but PTK is not merely an honorary society. PTK is based on four hallmarks: Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Fellowship. The programs of the society are designed to give their members opportunities for personal growth. As members develop, their chapters, their colleges, their communities and the national organization grow as well.
To be eligible for membership, a student must have completed one long-term semester at Paris Junior College; must have accumulated 12 semester hours (exclusive of developmental courses); and must have a grade point average of 3.5, and be within the upper scholastic 10 percent of the regularly enrolled student body.
To maintain active membership, a student must be regularly enrolled each semester and at the end of any given semester must have a grade point average of 3.0, which is a "B." Academic and vocational/technical students are eligible for participation in the local chapter.
Eligible students become pledges by signing an agreement to uphold the standards of Phi Theta Kappa, which include good moral character and citizenship, as well as academic achievement. In addition, all active members shall pay a one-time chapter dues fee of $80 ($60 national, $4 regional, $16 local chapter).
Scholarship information is available through the Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society's website. The Beta Zeta Chapter also has a page on the organization's website.

Lauren has taught intermediate reading in an English Language Institute, and she has her Master's degree in Linguistics.
In this lesson, you will learn about hornworts, a member of the group of plants known as bryophytes. We will look at types of hornworts as well as common characteristics and interesting facts.
A Classification Curiosity
You are probably familiar with the idea of scientific names for living creatures, but have you ever thought about how a species gets classified? The truth is that there can be a lot of debate surrounding species classification. A species might be moved to a new genus or family several times, and the classification may even be different depending on who you ask! This is the case for hornworts. Hornworts are one of three types of plants known as bryophytes, along with mosses and liverworts. They are non-vascular, which means they lack the xylem and phloem tissue that other types of plants have for moving water and nutrients. As a result, they grow very low to the ground.
Unlike mosses and liverworts, which have thousands of species, there are only about 100 to 150 species of hornworts. Despite the low number, classification is an ongoing source of debate among scientists, and the number of families and genera is not always agreed upon. The exact number of species is not even certain!
Hornworts have no vascular tissue.
Group Distinctions
Under one of the more widely accepted classification schemes, there are six different genera of hornworts: Anthoceros, Dendroceros, Folioceros, Megaceros, Notothylas and Phaeoceros. Members of these genera share a lot of the same characteristics, with a few notable exceptions.
The most significant differences can be seen in Notothylas. This genus tends to be yellowish instead of dark green. Their sporophytes, the stalks with their spores at the top, are different as well. In most hornworts sporophytes are tall and thin, resembling a long horn. In fact, that is where they get the name 'hornwort' ('wort' simply means 'small plant'). However, sporophytes in Notothylas are short, thick, and slightly curved, and the sporophytes do not grow continuously as they do in other species.
Other differences come from habitat. Members of Anthoceros typically grow on the banks of rivers or other bodies of water, while members of Dendroceros grow on the bark of trees or sometimes in swamps. Dendroceros also differs in shape, growing in ribbon-like 'branches' with wavy edges. Other species of hornworts often grow in a more curled and round shape.
Overall Characteristics
In general, hornworts share many characteristics, including the typically tall and thin sporophyte shape. One similarity is that most hornworts only have a single large chloroplast (the green organelle used to capture energy from sunlight) in each cell. By contrast, liverworts and mosses usually have several chloroplasts per cell. The ability of hornworts to store carbon dioxide (CO2) for later use in photosynthesis also sets them apart from liverworts.
Hornworts generally live in wet, humid places. Within this habitat requirement, they can be found on rocks, in soil, or on tree bark, but they do need the humidity to survive. This is because of their lack of vascular tissue as well as the fact that they have no true roots. Instead, they have small, hair-like rhizoids that keep them firmly attached and help with water absorption.
Hornwort sporophytes are usually tall and thin.
Hornworts are fascinating plants. For one, they all, regardless of genus, have a symbiotic relationship with a bacteria called Nostoc. The bacteria collects and grows in small pockets inside the hornwort and supplies the plant with nitrogen. In return, the hornwort provides the bacteria with carbohydrates.
Hornwort sporophytes are also an interesting feature. In most species, they can grow to be over 10 centimeters (4 inches) high! The sporophytes are growing continuously in all genera except Notothylas. The growth occurs at the base of the sporophyte stalk and pushes it upwards.
Hornworts are a type of bryophyte, along with mosses and liverworts. They are non-vascular, and there are only about 100 to 150 different species contained within six genera. Notothylas is notably different in color as well as the fact that its sporophytes are short and thick and do not grow continuously. Other differences between genera include habitat, although all hornworts prefer humid areas, typically near water. Hornworts are different from other bryophytes because they usually have only one large chloroplast per cell, and they are able to store carbon dioxide. Hornworts have rhizoids instead of true roots. Interestingly, they have a symbiotic relationship with a bacteria called Nostoc, and in most species, the sporophyte grows continuously from the base.

Berkeley provides a selection of level and certificate programs to help prepare pupils for some of today's many in-demand jobs. Years ago, numerous students could only desire taking courses at MIT, Cornell University, or Dartmouth College. This will be a knowledge you could be in a position to achieve buying college degree online on a campus, but it's most likely the internet business pupil will learn it better. Based on the College Board report How university Shapes everyday lives, 65 percent of bachelor's degree graduates last year had been offered retirement advantages, in comparison to 52 per cent of highschool graduates.
If you should be a moms and dad and you're already working full-time to aid your loved ones, there isn't any space within week for attending conventional class lectures. Education professionals are still debating on whether on line education has advantages or otherwise not, if it is a blessing or a curse. A large selection of courses to choose from – did you know you can earn college program credits for almost any program you can think of?
Between hectic work schedules , family members obligations, and community tasks , it could be tough to agree to a degree program that requires a structured, in-class schedule. Levels attained online have already been gaining acceptance among employers. Our on line programmes deliver programme content and opportunities to connect to other students in a number of methods.
Pupils will not have to fight traffic, find parking areas, keep work early to attend course, or miss crucial family members time. Like, an online master degree in forensic therapy will result in an entirely different career course than an online master degree in medical social work. Students use this exact same process to ignore distracting information while focusing on class room projects.
These examples indicate the variability among these programs, regarding institutional kind, discipline, and duration of study. Even with programs that produce extensive usage of message boards, forums and also video logs it cannot make up for the direct conversation of a class room. Since it's a primary good reason why everybody chooses online vs. campus degree programs.

Which means you will have to make a definite schedule concerning the times and hours you will spend in front of your computer, especially for the online program and/or distance level programme. The concrete advantage of not lacking university or work to wait a class coaching is exactly what online mentoring shall provide you with.

Oklahoma Senator Wants To Allow National Guard To Carry On Military Grounds
[BEGINNERS] Will You Fire Immediately If You Draw Your Gun? The Answer Is Clear, Right?
POLL: 74% Of Americans Want To Be Armed For Protection — Let's Talk About This…
Posted by G. Halek, December 30, 2015
A poll was taken on Twitter, asking respondents to answer if they would or would not arm themselves. The poll results were tallied by 44 Sinclair stations placed around the country. Out of the 5,000 respondents, 74% said they would arm themselves for protection according to News 4.
That's amazing. It's like asking 5,000 people, "if someone was about to punch you in the face, would you move out of the way of the fist?"
Apparently, 74% would. A remaining 26% would be like, "nah, I trust the police will arrive eventually. Plus, that dude is putting so much effort behind that punch… He must really want this."
The news source tied this article to other polls talking about how Americans want or don't want to get guns and protect themselves and then used that as a segue to talk about how President Obama wants to enact gun control legislation and, failing to do that, won't rule out taking unilateral tyrant-level action to make life even more complicated for law-abiding citizens looking to affordably and reliably protect themselves… You know, what people do when they can't afford a multi-billion dollar branch of the federal government to protect them individually.
via News 4
Attempting to quell the public's fear, President Barack Obama said in an interview this weekend that ISIS "is not an organization that can destroy the United States."
Obama validated the concerns of many Americans, saying he understand why people are worried, but he noted that the most damage ISIS can do "is if they start changing how we live and what our values are."
Like our values like not having our liquids and aerosols tossed in a big trash can for absolutely no reason whatsoever?
Let's keep this going for a bit. ISIS, the new flavor of the week in terms of threats, is now the impetus for us to have to reneg on more of our constitutional rights?
He expressed that part of his last year in office will be spent making sure Americans remember, "who we are and make sure that our resilience, our values, our unity are maintained."
"If we do that, then ISIL will be defeated."
How about not needing to do any of that and just leaving all our guns alone? How's that for a possibility? What are the chances you can just finish your term in office? Is that too much to ask?
Look, I'm not against Obama. Really. I have nothing against him as a human being. I just think the idea of "if we listen to me and do what I say, ISIL won't win."
That's not how America works.
ISIL hasn't won. They're not winning. Despite the publicity surrounding the attacks attributed to ISIL, they have yet to impact as significantly as the threat of legislation which will make it invariably harder to obtain and use firearms in the lawful protection of ourselves, our family, and our property — you know, what sort of makes us American in the first place.
Ever since this "War on Terror" has kicked off, it's been used as a giant umbrella to give us a mass-surveillance state where simple liberties like the right not to have our communications unlawfully intercepted (without a court-ordered warrant), our right to a fair and speedy trial, and a number of other rights have gone just straight out of the window. And the Second Amendment isn't immune! Now we've got amorphous "Terrorist Watchlists" which, as we've described in previous articles, can literally mean anyone for any reason.
So, let's bring this back to self-defense and the 74% of 5,000 respondents on Twitter who said they'd arm themselves for protection.
You know what will be even better than that?
I'd like to see us all take training a lot more seriously. I mean, seriously make this place one unsavory, hostile environment for people wishing to spread ill will and violence on innocent folks just trying to get through the day. Don't leave it up to G-Men or any unilateral executive order — make the people stronger first.
The second thing I'd like to see is more people being armed everyday.
And the third, obviously, is national reciprocity.
In the meantime, it's good to see people want to take arming themselves seriously. Now, how many will actually follow through?
What are your thoughts? Tell us in the comments section below.

LAPD Sources Claim There's Video Of 2021 Shooting Related To A$AP Rocky's Recent Arrest
Things seem to be up in the air for A$AP Rocky as the investigation into the alleged November 2021 shooting incident unfolds. Los Angeles Police Department sources told TMZ video footage of the alleged incident exists and is in their possession. It's unclear what exactly was captured in this alleged video. However, TMZ says the video is likely from a surveillance camera.
As previously reported, A$AP Rocky was arrested over a week ago for his alleged involvement in a shooting incident that began as a heated argument. The array was for assault with a deadly weapon. Police allege that A$AP Rocky shot at a man several times, ultimately only grazing the victim's hand. Rocky was released on bail shortly after the arrest.
During a search of the artist's home last week, police found several guns. Turns out, each weapon was "legally acquired" per #TMZ. Not only that, the guns do not match the shell casings found at the crime scene. This means none of the guns found match the gun used in the shooting.

Megan Thee Stallion Claims Tory Lanez Offered Her $1M in Hush Money Following 2020 Shooting [Video]
During an interview with Gayle King released Monday, Megan Thee Stallion discussed Tory Lanez offering her $1 million to stay silent after allegedly shooting her in the foot.
Megan reflected on the evening in question telling Gayle, "This was one of those times where things shouldn't have gone this insane."
She said, "He is standing up over the window, shooting. I didn't even want to move. I didn't want to move too quick. … I was really scared because I had never been shot at before."
Immediately after, she said Lanez apologized and made the $1 million offer.
"He's [like], `I'm so sorry. Please don't tell nobody. I'll give y'all a million dollars if y'all don't say nothing,"' she says Lanez said to her. "And I'm like, `What are you talking about?' Like, `Why are you offering me money right now?' Help me. Like, and if you're sorry, just help me!"
Meg claims that she was leaving a party at Kylie Jenner's house with her former friend, Kelsey Harris, Tory Lanez, and a driver/security team member during the night in question.
Allegedly, an argument ensued, prompting Megan to get out of the car, but she was then persuaded to get back in.
"The arguing in the car is getting worse, and I don't wanna be in this car no more because I see it's getting crazy," she said.
Meg also claimed Tory told her to "dance, b*tch" before fire off the rounds,
In light of the numerous reports of police brutality throughout the country, Megan was skeptical that the responding officers would not escalate the situation.
"The George Floyd incident had just happened," she said. "The police are definitely very much shot first; ask questions after. So I'm like, it's a hot gun in the car, I'm bleeding, I've been shot. They're about to kill somebody. Something bad is about to happen."
Megan added that she initially informed authorities that her injuries were caused by stepping on glass as a result of this. "I didn't want them to shoot or kill any of us," she explained.
Lanez reportedly entered a not guilty plea to the charges stemming from the shooting. Megan stated that he has been "trying to deflect from the fact that he committed a crime."
Gunshot residue was reported to have been found on Lanez's hands, as well as Kelsey's, at a previous preliminary hearing. According to the most recent information, a trial date has been set for September.

Rapper Megan Thee Stallion says fellow rapper Tory Lanez offered her $1 million to keep quiet about shooting her in the foot in a 2020 incident in the Hollywood Hills, according to an interview that aired Monday.
The Houston rapper told CBS' Gayle King that the shooting stemmed from an argument when she was ready to go home after a party at Kylie Jenner's house but the other three people with her in the car — including Lanez — were not.
"I don't want to be in this car no more. 'Cause I see it's getting crazy," she said in the interview, which aired on "CBS Mornings."
"So, I get out of the car, and it's like, everything happens so fast. And all I hear is this man screaming. And he said, `Dance, bitch.' And he started shooting. And I'm just like, `Oh, my God.' Like, he shot a couple of times. And I — I was so scared.

"He is standing up over the window shooting. And I didn't even want to move. I didn't want to move too quick. Like, 'cause I'm like, `Oh, my God. If I take the wrong step, I don't know if he's going to shoot something that's, like, super important. I don't know if he could shoot me and kill me."
" … I was really scared 'cause I had never been shot at before," she added.
Megan Thee Stallion was giving her first public interview about the July 12, 2020 incident, which took place at around 4:30 a.m.
Lanez, a 29-year-old Canadian rapper whose real name is Daystar Peterson, has pleaded not guilty to one count each of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle. The charges include allegations that he personally used a firearm and inflicted great bodily injury.
Lanez has been ordered by the judge in the case not to make any public mention of his fellow rapper. He was handcuffed in court and spent about five hours in custody earlier this month after his bail was increased by $100,000 for his alleged violation of the terms of a pre-trial protective order.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David Herriford agreed with the prosecutor's contention that some of Lanez's recent social media posts appeared to be messages directed at Megan Thee Stallion.
During a preliminary hearing last year, Los Angeles Police Department Detective Ryan Stogner testified that he spoke with Megan Thee Stallion and that she told him that she heard Lanez say, "Dance, bitch," before he fired at her as the bikini-clad woman got out of a Cadillac SUV for the second time that morning following an argument.
"No one heard, `Dance, bitch,' except for Megan?" defense attorney Shawn Holley asked on cross-examination.
"Correct," the detective responded.
Megan Thee Stallion described the injuries to her feet as "bleeding profusely" and said she fell to the ground and crawled to a nearby driveway, according to the detective. She said a female friend of hers who had been in the vehicle ran up to her afterward, along with Lanez, and that he "emphatically apologized for what he did" and offered to drive her home.
The vehicle was subsequently stopped by police officers responding to a call of a shooting, and she initially told officers and doctors that she had not been shot and that broken glass had caused the injuries to her feet, according to the detective.
Following his arrest, Lanez made a jailhouse phone call to the victim's female friend as she waited at the hospital and "he continued to apologize for the incident that occurred" and explained that he was basically drunk, the investigating officer testified.
In an outburst from the opposite side of the courtroom during the Dec. 14 hearing, Lanez questioned aloud how the detective could tell why he was apologizing during the call.
"Does he say anything in the jail call about shooting?" Holley asked the detective.

"No," Stogner responded.
The injured woman, who was bleeding, and Lanez were in the SUV that was stopped about a mile from the scene of where shots were reported, according to LAPD Officer Sandra Cabral.
A handgun that was "warm to the touch" was discovered inside the vehicle, and four spent casings were subsequently found at the scene, Cabral testified.
In a video posted on Instagram Live following the shooting, Megan Thee Stallion said, "Tory shot me. You shot me and you got your publicist and your people … lying … Stop lying."
She said police officers drove her to a hospital, where she underwent surgery, and added that she was "incredibly grateful to be alive."
In an op-ed published in the New York Times, she wrote that she was "recently the victim of an act of violence by a man" and that she was initially silent about what had happened "out of fear for myself and my friends."
"Even as a victim, I have been met with skepticism and judgment," she wrote. "The way people have publicly questioned and debated whether I played a role in my own violent assault proves that my fears about discussing what happened were, unfortunately, warranted."
The rapper, whose real name is Megan Pete, gained fame in part through freestyling videos shared widely on Instagram. Her song "Savage" went viral on TikTok and topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart in May 2020, while her provocative collaboration with Cardi B on "WAP" garnered her more attention.
Best Selling Hip-Hop Music
In a posting last year on Twitter, Lanez wrote, "I have all faith in God to show that … love to all my fans and people that have stayed true to me & know my heart … a charge is not a conviction."
Lanez released his fifth album "Daystar," using multiple tracks to address the accusations. In one song he raps, "How the f— you get shot in your foot … don't hit no bones or tendons?"
The trial is expected to begin in September.

The Blazers seized the momentum from that safety to cut UNT's lead to 21-19 after a Spencer Brown 3-yard touchdown run on their following possession.
Brown wasn't done. He found the endzone on UAB's very next possession - a 7-play, 67-yard drive - to give the Blazers a 26-21 lead with 14:16 remaining.
UNT failed to convert a 4th-and-1 at the UAB 39 on its next drive and then, a bit later in the fourth, Fine was stripped at the UAB 1.
Fine got the Mean Green on the board when he hooked up with Rico Bussey, Jr. for a 55-yard touchdown pass with 7:58 left in the first quarter. It was Bussey's team-leading ninth scoring reception of the season.
Jaelon Darden had receptions of 11 and 16 yards on the drive, which spanned 87 yards on six plays in 2:15.
A UAB field goal closed the gap just a bit before Fine widened it again with an 11-yard TD pass to Darden with 12:40 left in the second quarter. Darden hauled in a 13-yard pass on a 3rd-and-10 during the drive.
UAB (6-1, 4-0) returned the ensuing kickoff 61 yards and only needed two plays after that to tighten the game at 14-10 58 seconds after UNT's score. But Fine and Darden continued to be a problem and hooked up for a 24-yard touchdown with 3:32 left before half.
Fine completed 29-of-40 passes for 336 yards and three touchdowns. Darden had 10 receptions for 143 yards and those two scores.
