The number of high school girls in New York City taking the AP computer science test has increased six-fold in just two years.
According to Department of Education data (via the New York Post), 2,155 girls took the test in 2018, compared with just 379 who took it in 2016. But not only are more girls taking the exam, they’re doing well on it, too: In 2018, 1,266 girls passed the test, compared with 177 who passed in 2016.
This kind woman just earned herself a whole big bunch of good karma. Just reinforces my belief that there are actually many more good people in the world than bad.... despite what's in the media every day.
I happen to love those cute little 'Country Kitties', and glad to see this one being saved.
Siberian, Timofey Yuriev, who live in USA was rescued two dogs from ice water.

The average bystander might be reluctant to plunge into icy waters in order to save two distressed canines, but thankfully, Timofey Yuriev happened to be in the right place at the right time.
In addition to spending time in Canada, Yuriev grew up in Siberia – so needless to say, he is accustomed to the cold.
Additionally, the 45-year-old is an experienced swimmer and free diver.
His unique skillset then came in handy earlier this week when he and his wife were walking their dog Kira around the Irvington Reservoir in New York.
At first, Colin Haas and Kahlief Hill seemed an unlikely pair.
But then Colin asked if he could show Hill a card trick -- and a friendship quickly blossomed.
Colin has autism, his mom said, something Hill didn't realize initially. In a Facebook post of their encounter that's been shared thousands of times, Haas wrote, "He didn’t know that this little boy has autism. That learning and doing card tricks is a passion of his because it helps to quiet and focus his brain as well as keep his hands busy."
"He didn’t know that this little boy lost his dad a few years ago, has been on the waiting list for a ‘big brother’ for well over two years now, and lives with only his mom and sister, so very much misses interacting with male figures," she added.
