00:11.599 --> 00:13.920
Hello and rise up. I'm Ky Wire here with

00:13.920 --> 00:15.839
your 10 minutes of news on this your

00:15.839 --> 00:17.600
word Wednesday. One of you helped us

00:17.600 --> 00:19.760
write today's show with a vocab word you

00:19.760 --> 00:21.920
submitted on the socials. We had so many

00:21.920 --> 00:23.680
compelling words, tough to choose just

00:23.680 --> 00:26.320
one. I'd like to defenistrate myself

00:26.320 --> 00:27.840
from the position of picker. Shout out

00:27.840 --> 00:29.519
to Mr. Westbrook's class, Lakeidge

00:29.519 --> 00:31.359
Junior High in Oram, Utah. A little

00:31.359 --> 00:33.840
bonus word to start our day. Go

00:33.840 --> 00:36.000
Leopards. We begin with an update on

00:36.000 --> 00:38.399
some wicked weather that is battering

00:38.399 --> 00:41.040
much of the central US. The week of

00:41.040 --> 00:42.960
severe storms started on Monday with

00:42.960 --> 00:45.200
multiple tornadoes demolishing buildings

00:45.200 --> 00:48.079
in Kansas. Heavy rain stranding vehicles

00:48.079 --> 00:50.480
on flooded streets in Wisconsin and

00:50.480 --> 00:53.120
baseball-sized hail slamming into parts

00:53.120 --> 00:55.199
of three states. In total, at least a

00:55.199 --> 00:57.360
dozen tornadoes were reported across the

00:57.360 --> 00:59.440
central region of the country. Three of

00:59.440 --> 01:01.520
them touching down in Minnesota,

01:01.520 --> 01:03.520
including this one that was caught on

01:03.520 --> 01:05.439
video. Parts of the Midwest are dealing

01:05.439 --> 01:07.840
with severe flooding spurred by heavy

01:07.840 --> 01:09.200
rainfall.

01:09.200 --> 01:11.360
>> Our water treatment guy told us we had 4

01:11.360 --> 01:14.080
and 1/2 in in roughly 3 hours or

01:14.080 --> 01:14.799
something like that.

01:14.799 --> 01:16.159
>> Have you ever seen the water this high

01:16.159 --> 01:16.960
like this before?

01:16.960 --> 01:18.479
>> No. I've talked to people that have

01:18.479 --> 01:19.680
lived here their whole lives and we've

01:19.680 --> 01:21.200
never seen the water this high.

01:21.200 --> 01:23.280
Forecasters fear the worst could still

01:23.280 --> 01:25.280
be on the way with heavy rains, strong

01:25.280 --> 01:27.439
winds, hail, and flooding that could

01:27.439 --> 01:29.520
last through Friday. The storms could

01:29.520 --> 01:31.759
impact a huge area stretching from the

01:31.759 --> 01:34.479
Texas Mexico border to the Great Lakes

01:34.479 --> 01:36.240
region. So, make sure to listen to your

01:36.240 --> 01:38.320
local weather officials for the latest

01:38.320 --> 01:42.000
updates. Next up, the WNBA draft earlier

01:42.000 --> 01:44.320
this week was historic thanks to the new

01:44.320 --> 01:46.240
collective bargaining agreement between

01:46.240 --> 01:48.320
the league and the players. This draft

01:48.320 --> 01:50.560
class is cashing in. The top pick

01:50.560 --> 01:52.799
pulling in half a million dollars in

01:52.799 --> 01:55.040
year one alone. That's seven times what

01:55.040 --> 01:56.880
last year's number one pick, Paige

01:56.880 --> 01:58.960
Beckers earned. Same dream, same

01:58.960 --> 02:01.520
spotlight. Very different paycheck. A

02:01.520 --> 02:04.560
sign of progress. Ay Fud, Yukon's sharp

02:04.560 --> 02:06.719
shooter. Taken number one overall by the

02:06.719 --> 02:09.280
Dallas Wings. Fud reunited with her

02:09.280 --> 02:12.000
former Yukon teammate, last year's top

02:12.000 --> 02:14.959
pick, Paige Beckers in Dallas. Our time

02:14.959 --> 02:19.680
at Yukon felt like it I mean it was just

02:19.680 --> 02:21.440
full of injury, full of like either I

02:21.440 --> 02:22.480
was playing, she wasn't, she was

02:22.480 --> 02:24.000
playing, I wasn't. It wasn't until last

02:24.000 --> 02:26.879
year um that we really got a chance to

02:26.879 --> 02:28.319
actually play together. Just so much

02:28.319 --> 02:30.720
potential um with not just her, but the

02:30.720 --> 02:33.360
entire uh Dallas Wings roster. So, I I

02:33.360 --> 02:34.640
can't wait obviously to play with her

02:34.640 --> 02:36.640
again, but to play with every single one

02:36.640 --> 02:37.360
of them.

02:37.360 --> 02:40.720
>> Now, record books, a $2.2 $22 million

02:40.720 --> 02:43.920
deal, richest rookie contract in WNBA

02:43.920 --> 02:46.000
history. An update now for one of the

02:46.000 --> 02:47.920
most popular gaming platforms for

02:47.920 --> 02:50.480
youngsters, Roblox. After months of

02:50.480 --> 02:52.319
discussions and research, the app is

02:52.319 --> 02:54.879
changing how players access it. Starting

02:54.879 --> 02:57.680
in June, accounts will be divided by age

02:57.680 --> 03:00.319
using age check technology. To complete

03:00.319 --> 03:02.319
the process, users have to follow a

03:02.319 --> 03:04.800
series of onscreen instructions for

03:04.800 --> 03:07.760
facial verification. Kids ages 5 to

03:07.760 --> 03:10.000
eight will have chat turned off and

03:10.000 --> 03:11.840
access to games will be strictly limited

03:11.840 --> 03:14.720
by the contents rating. The company says

03:14.720 --> 03:16.640
older kids will have a bit more access,

03:16.640 --> 03:19.360
but they say safety controls will still

03:19.360 --> 03:22.159
be in place, allowing them only to chat

03:22.159 --> 03:24.800
with age checked users in similar age

03:24.800 --> 03:27.280
groups. Why? Roblox has faced pressure

03:27.280 --> 03:29.040
to better protect children from

03:29.040 --> 03:31.120
inappropriate content and prevent

03:31.120 --> 03:33.519
interactions with others that are not

03:33.519 --> 03:36.080
age appropriate. Now to a moment caught

03:36.080 --> 03:37.920
on camera that has conservationists

03:37.920 --> 03:39.920
saying, "Was it a cat I saw?" That

03:39.920 --> 03:41.680
phrase, by the way, is a palendrome.

03:41.680 --> 03:44.000
Camera traps photographed a rare cloud

03:44.000 --> 03:46.400
jaguar high up in the Marandon Mountain

03:46.400 --> 03:48.480
Range of Honduras. First time it's been

03:48.480 --> 03:50.720
detected there in a decade. A positive

03:50.720 --> 03:52.560
sign for the Central American nation

03:52.560 --> 03:54.879
attempting an environmental turnaround.

03:54.879 --> 03:56.799
The elusive feline is struggling to

03:56.799 --> 03:59.280
thrive due to poaching and habitat loss

03:59.280 --> 04:01.599
from deforestation and human

04:01.599 --> 04:03.920
development.

04:03.920 --> 04:06.319
Pop quiz hot shot. Which US state has

04:06.319 --> 04:08.319
the highest number of recorded fossil

04:08.319 --> 04:11.760
finds? Texas, California, Colorado, or

04:11.760 --> 04:14.760
Montana?

04:17.280 --> 04:19.120
If you said California, put your hands

04:19.120 --> 04:20.959
up and show those pits. Home to the

04:20.959 --> 04:23.280
Labraatar pits, California clocked the

04:23.280 --> 04:25.600
most fossils. Montana, though, shows the

04:25.600 --> 04:27.600
highest diversity of discoveries,

04:27.600 --> 04:29.919
including more T-Rex bones than any

04:29.919 --> 04:32.800
other state. A pair of snorkeling

04:32.800 --> 04:34.400
scientists found an underground

04:34.400 --> 04:36.240
fossil-filled cave leading to

04:36.240 --> 04:38.080
unprecedented paleontological

04:38.080 --> 04:40.639
discoveries in central Texas. According

04:40.639 --> 04:43.120
to the University of Texas at Austin,

04:43.120 --> 04:44.800
the scientists gained access to a

04:44.800 --> 04:46.880
previously unmapped cave on private

04:46.880 --> 04:48.639
property and snorkeled through

04:48.639 --> 04:50.880
underwater streams leading to an area

04:50.880 --> 04:53.520
brimming with undisturbed fossils. It

04:53.520 --> 04:55.120
was there, according to a study

04:55.120 --> 04:56.720
published in the journal Quadinary

04:56.720 --> 04:58.800
Research, that co-authors John Moretti

04:58.800 --> 05:00.800
and John Young discovered among dozens

05:00.800 --> 05:02.800
of fossils, the remains of a giant

05:02.800 --> 05:05.360
tortoise and a relative of the armadillo

05:05.360 --> 05:08.080
the size of a lion. The study says the

05:08.080 --> 05:10.160
remains of those ice age animals dating

05:10.160 --> 05:12.720
back some 100,000 years, had never

05:12.720 --> 05:14.479
previously been found in central Texas

05:14.479 --> 05:16.720
before, and have raised new questions

05:16.720 --> 05:18.400
about what is known about the region's

05:18.400 --> 05:22.000
geological and climatic past.

05:22.000 --> 05:24.080
Ever wish you could dinosaur back into

05:24.080 --> 05:26.240
time? Well, now we can. No time machine

05:26.240 --> 05:28.720
required. Actually, you do use a virtual

05:28.720 --> 05:30.800
time machine of sorts. A new VR

05:30.800 --> 05:33.360
experience called Age of Dinosaurs just

05:33.360 --> 05:36.000
launched, taking players 150 million

05:36.000 --> 05:38.240
years into the past. Created in

05:38.240 --> 05:39.919
partnership with the Natural History

05:39.919 --> 05:43.039
Museum London, dinosaur experts, and

05:43.039 --> 05:45.840
California-based Sandbox VR. It's not

05:45.840 --> 05:47.919
your average Jurassic Joyide. It's

05:47.919 --> 05:49.520
science meets cinema.

05:49.520 --> 05:51.759
>> It was wonderful. very educational, very

05:51.759 --> 05:53.919
cinematic. Um, I learned a lot and I've

05:53.919 --> 05:56.080
really enjoyed it. Um, dinosaurs are up

05:56.080 --> 05:57.600
in your face. They're all around you.

05:57.600 --> 05:58.960
It's not like you're just walking

05:58.960 --> 06:00.560
through some kind of static thing. It's,

06:00.560 --> 06:01.919
uh, yeah, very immersive, very

06:01.919 --> 06:03.039
educational, a lot of fun.

06:03.039 --> 06:05.440
>> We're talking razor sharp teeth,

06:05.440 --> 06:07.360
ultradetailed scales, even muscle

06:07.360 --> 06:09.600
movement under the skin, all vetted by

06:09.600 --> 06:12.479
real life dino experts. I get to work

06:12.479 --> 06:15.520
with the team at Sandbox and tell them

06:15.520 --> 06:17.520
um what I know about, you know, what we

06:17.520 --> 06:19.440
should uh make the animals look like,

06:19.440 --> 06:21.360
how they should behave, what kind of

06:21.360 --> 06:23.759
interesting ideas we can put into that

06:23.759 --> 06:25.199
animation. Are there are there

06:25.199 --> 06:27.280
particularly interesting pieces of

06:27.280 --> 06:29.280
behavior that could involve interaction

06:29.280 --> 06:31.919
with people that we might build in? Uh

06:31.919 --> 06:33.520
and not just the animals themselves, but

06:33.520 --> 06:35.600
we had to build the environment. We went

06:35.600 --> 06:38.479
to an awful lot of trouble to um

06:38.479 --> 06:40.639
reconstruct the plants and the

06:40.639 --> 06:42.800
environments quite accurately to build

06:42.800 --> 06:45.919
this completely immersive prehistoric

06:45.919 --> 06:46.639
world.

06:46.639 --> 06:49.120
>> With full body tracking and haptic

06:49.120 --> 06:51.520
vests, you won't just see a T-Rex, you

06:51.520 --> 06:54.000
might feel its footsteps.

06:54.000 --> 06:55.520
Those of us who have a bank account

06:55.520 --> 06:57.120
might know that sometimes it can be a

06:57.120 --> 06:59.120
pain in the kester to make time to go

06:59.120 --> 07:01.440
into the bank, wait in line. Well, what

07:01.440 --> 07:03.280
if you had a bank right there in your

07:03.280 --> 07:05.520
school for the students, run by the

07:05.520 --> 07:08.000
students, all while teaching them about

07:08.000 --> 07:09.919
managing finances? That's exactly what's

07:09.919 --> 07:11.680
happening at Blackman High School in

07:11.680 --> 07:15.520
Murphy'sboro, Tennessee. Check it out.

07:15.520 --> 07:17.759
>> Inside Blackman High School in

07:17.759 --> 07:18.880
Murphy'sboro.

07:18.880 --> 07:21.919
>> 70 90 110 130

07:21.919 --> 07:23.520
>> you will find.

07:23.520 --> 07:24.319
>> Thank you so much.

07:24.319 --> 07:25.039
>> Have a great day.

07:25.039 --> 07:27.840
>> A Redstone Federal Credit Union branch.

07:27.840 --> 07:30.160
It's a real bank in a real school

07:30.160 --> 07:32.560
>> run entirely by students.

07:32.560 --> 07:34.240
>> Like I'm actually handling people's

07:34.240 --> 07:34.880
money

07:34.880 --> 07:37.199
>> during lunch period. We have members

07:37.199 --> 07:39.360
here within the school, teachers and

07:39.360 --> 07:42.240
students. They can make deposits uh

07:42.240 --> 07:45.360
withdrawals, get change, uh pay certain

07:45.360 --> 07:48.800
loans if they have one through redstone.

07:48.800 --> 07:50.720
>> This is the first branch inside a

07:50.720 --> 07:52.639
Tennessee high school since the

07:52.639 --> 07:54.479
partnership between the school and the

07:54.479 --> 07:57.039
bank launched around 5 years ago. More

07:57.039 --> 07:59.120
than a hundred students have taken the

07:59.120 --> 08:00.479
capstone course.

08:00.479 --> 08:03.039
>> A really good quality job as a teenager

08:03.039 --> 08:05.039
and we're getting class credit for it.

08:05.039 --> 08:06.560
So, it's like a golden opportunity for

08:06.560 --> 08:07.360
us almost.

08:07.360 --> 08:10.240
>> Supervised by teachers. Students also

08:10.240 --> 08:13.680
train and work with real bank employees.

08:13.680 --> 08:16.319
>> The basic finances are really important.

08:16.319 --> 08:17.599
Like when you swipe your debit card,

08:17.599 --> 08:19.360
they come out of your checking account.

08:19.360 --> 08:21.199
And this is something they're learning.

08:21.199 --> 08:23.440
And then they get to help their peers

08:23.440 --> 08:25.440
>> building their resumes while learning

08:25.440 --> 08:28.160
personal finance at the same time.

08:28.160 --> 08:30.319
>> What does it look like for my own

08:30.319 --> 08:32.080
personal finance? What does it look like

08:32.080 --> 08:34.959
for my own banking decisions? Um, how

08:34.959 --> 08:37.200
does it look for me to interact with a

08:37.200 --> 08:39.360
business and a company? Um, and I just

08:39.360 --> 08:40.640
think those are the real world kind of

08:40.640 --> 08:41.919
experiences that we're want to make sure

08:41.919 --> 08:45.640
that our students have.

08:49.279 --> 08:51.360
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10.

08:51.360 --> 08:54.959
Water fight. Asia's largest water fight

08:54.959 --> 08:57.040
as crowds across Thailand celebrated

08:57.040 --> 08:59.920
Sran, the Thai New Year festival on

08:59.920 --> 09:01.839
Sunday. Also known as the water

09:01.839 --> 09:05.040
festival, Sran takes place every April

09:05.040 --> 09:07.519
with locals, tourists, young and old,

09:07.519 --> 09:09.040
flooding the neighborhood squares to

09:09.040 --> 09:10.959
splash each other with buckets, hoses,

09:10.959 --> 09:13.519
water balloons, and more. Why, you ask?

09:13.519 --> 09:15.600
to symbolize the washing away of bad

09:15.600 --> 09:17.600
luck and a fresh start for the year

09:17.600 --> 09:19.680
ahead. The word scrron comes from a

09:19.680 --> 09:21.920
Sanskrit term that roughly translates to

09:21.920 --> 09:24.399
astrological passage or movement

09:24.399 --> 09:26.399
symbolizing the sun moving into a new

09:26.399 --> 09:28.480
position in the zodiac. But for most

09:28.480 --> 09:32.399
folks clearly it also symbolizes fun.

09:32.399 --> 09:34.560
