Dogs can actually understand what you say.

A recent study by scientists at Emory University in Atlanta shows that dogs indeed know what their owner is saying. to test this they asked owners of 12 different dog breeds to train their dogs to identify 2 different toys such as, a stuffed animal and a ball. Once they learned the task they put them in a scanner and holding up toys they had been trained to recognize and saying meaningless words while holding up toys they had not seen before. The scans showed different brain patterns with toys they had seen and heard before than the ones they hadn’t. It isn’t enough to prove they picture their toy when they hear the word, but it shows recognition and scientists think this this is an important step to understanding how dogs process language.

Gymnastics is one of the hardest sports for young adults in their teens and 20’s. Imagine being 43 years old and is still competing! Oskana Chusovinita does just that. She won the USSR junior National championship at age 13 and she won the silver medal in the vault at the 2018 Asian games in Indonesia on August 23, 2018. “Over the last 30 years, the elite athlete has won a total of 32 medals, including 2 Olympic and 11 world championship medals.” (3). Oskana has five moves named after her. Two on vault, two on uneven bars, and one on floor exercise. She now focuses on the vault constantly trying to achieve more at age 43. At the 2016 olympics she attempted the “vault of death” a hard routine that involves a handspring followed by a double summersalt. She didn’t complete it but her effort was “reflective of the gift and competitive spirit Chusovitina has demonstrated through her distinguished gymnastics career.” (5). She’s not done yet. In the 2018 olympics a reporter asked her if it was her final tournament she responded “No! I want to go to Tokyo!” If she qualifies for the 2020 Olympics she will be the oldest Olympic gymnast in 100 years.

New Virual Reality Water Slide
The waterslide is located at Europe’s biggest water park Galaxy Erding in South Germany. It opened in February 2018, and riders have the choice of coasting through three different worlds. Snow, Sky, and Space.To ride the slide all you have to do is put on the VR headset and push off! While VR roller coasters aren’t new, VR water slides are because getting the delicate headset to be waterproof is a complicated task. The ride is 160 meters or 520 feet and last about 35. To make it even better the slide has two hills that you go up! That makes it more roller coaster-like.

Kind of like our original moon , the fake orb’s light will be taken from the sun and reflected to Earth by its mirror-like coating.but , since the mini moon will be only 300 miles above Chengdu, it will look eight-times brighter than the real moon. Chunfeng says,How much light is being reflected can be controlled from Earth and turned off, if needed.

Chengdu, a Chinese city, plans to create artificial moons to save their citizens money on lights each night. Wu Chunfeng, the chairmen of the Chengdu Aerospace Science and Technology Microelectronics System Reserch Institute, has recently announced that they will release an artificial moon to provide their city, and places in need of light when they don’t have any, light. Chunfeng says that the first moon-like orb will appear in the sky as soon as 2020. Wu Chungfeng made this announcement at the National Mass innovation and Enterpreneurship Conference, which was held in Chengdu started on October 9 and went to October 15, 2018.
The plan was for the “moon’s” light would come from the sun and then reflect onto the Earth because of it‘s special coating that acts as a mirror. The “moon” will appear eight times brighter than the actual moon due to the fact that the “moon” would only be a mere 300 miles above Chengdu. Luckily, the amount of light being reflected can be toggled on and off or would be able to change the amounts of light.
The Chengdu Aerospace estimate that using the artificial moon to like up 31 square miles of the night sky, would save the city about 1.2 billion yuan ($174 million). The “moon” also has the ability to move so that if there’s a disaster-struck city, they would be able to use the “moon” to provide light if they have lost power.
However, it is said that the moon will not be as big as people imagined, The artificial orb would simply be a bright star if sorts, but that doesn’t mean it’s less effective. It could still help places in need and that’s what matters.

On October 26, 2018 Simone Biles competed in the world championships in Doha, Qatar. The night before the competition Biles had to go to the hospital because of her kidney. Since she was competing there would be drug tests so Biles hardly took any pain relief so she would pass. At the championships she scored the highest individual scores on floor, vault, and beam. She did an amazing move on vault and was the only female gymnast to ever complete the trick. Now they will call the skill “the Biles”. That night Simone biles took home 6 medals the all around, vault, beam, floor, uneven bars and gold for the team finals. She now holds the record for most all around gold medals (4)!

A group of reasearchers at RMIT University on October 1, 2018 in Melbourne, Australia created a special font for studying called Sans Forgetica (ironically). It is supposed to help you remember words better because it is written so it is hard to read. The theory is that readers will take a second look at it so they will remember it. It is not to be used a lot because then you will easily be able to read it so won’t take a second glance. It is a really cool font😎👍👍

The Black Sea MAP (Maritime Archaeological Project) was established to survey the floor of the Black Sea to determine the impact of sea-level changes on early human settlements at the end of the last ice age. The search for answers has led to an unexpected bonus for historians – ancient shipwrecks which provide invaluableinformation about civilizations of the past. Since the project began three years ago, over 67 old vessels, most from the 14^th to 19^th centuries, have been found. On October 23, 2018, the team of international sailors and researchers, led by University of Southampton Professor Jon Adams, announced their most exciting find yet: an intact shipwreck that dates back over 2,400 years!

In the town of Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin there’s a troublemaking turkey named smoke. Smoke was discovered last spring and he is known for literally “controlling” traffic. He’s does this by sitting in the middle of the road. Another crazy thing that smoke does is chase children. He waits at bustops and when kids get off the bus he starts to chase them. He also goes up to strangers and starts gobbling at them. Despite the fact that smoke is a troublemaker, the people in the town love smoke and have even named the town mayor. Smoke can now be found on t-shirts
and on his Facebook page! The bad thing about Smoke is that since he’s so popular now if people see him while driveling it might be dangerous for them to take a picture while still paying attention to the road. A nearby animal sanctuary has been trying to capture smoke for months but claims he has “ninja like moves” that make him very difficult to catch

Happiness linked to longer life

Being happy doesn't just improve the quality of your life. According to a new study, it may increase the quantity of your life as well. More than 3,800 people selected to participate in a study that people at University College London are doing record their levels of happiness, anxiety, and other emotions at four specific times over the course of a single day. The participants, who were between the ages of 52 and 79 when the study began, were divided into three groups according to how happy and positive they felt. Five years later, 7% of people in the least happy group had died, compared with just 4% in the happiest group and 5% in the middle group. the happiest and medium-happy people were 35% and 20% less likely to have died, respectively, than their gloomier counterparts.

He became the first person to run a marathon in under 2 hours and 2 minuets. The Berlin Marathon is liked by record-seekers because of its mostly flat course and the last 6 marathon records have been set there. Besides this one Kipchoge has won 10 of the 11 marathons that he has run in and is also the reigning Olympic marathon champion.

Fiona, a hippo born at the Cincinnati zoo, was born six weeks premature.
Bibi, Fionas mom was due to have Fiona in late February to early March. Instead, Bibi had Fiona on January 24. Newborn hippos usually weigh from 50 to 120 pounds. Fiona was 29 pounds.
The caretakers were amazed she lived. Fiona was so weak, she couldn’t stand on her own. If she had been born in the wild, she would have died.
Fionas keepers knew they had a tough task ahead. There was no record of a premature hippo being born, let alone surviving.
Early on, the staff cared for her 24-7. Literally. They had to make sure she was getting the proper nourishment, and since she was too weak to drink from Bibi, the staff had to bottle feed her. And hippos eat a lot. Even if they are small. They also had to keep Fionas body temperature warm all the time, and keep her skin moist. It was a lot of work. But in the end, Fiona ended up surviving, and not only that, she was an online star too. Today Fiona is a happy hippo who can stand up and play with other hippos.

Daylight savings
Joanna Martinez says the main purpose of daylight savings time is to helps make better use of daylight. W o this by changing the clocks in the spring to move an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening. Even though a 2014 study said daylight savings time can put adults at risk for certain health problems, having more light in the evening does have health benefits . For one thing, it lets kids and grown ups be more active outside after school or work. This means they get more exercise. Daylight savings time also saves energy. With more daylight hours, we use less electricity. Lastly, daylight savings time is good for the economy. Longer evenings encourage people to do more shopping. I think we should keep daylight saving time.

The ship as at the bottom of the Black Sea where it’s harder to breath i, and the team does not have funding to return to the shipwreck to investigate, its contents may forever remain a mystery..

There is a toxic algae bloom, or red tide that has driven people away from beaches and killed thousands of animals off Florida’s Gulf Coast. A red tide happens when an algae that gives out toxins that can hurt people and marine life, grows out of control. The algae can also make the water look red or brown. This is the worst red tide Florida has had since 2006. Although red tides are common in Florida, they usually last only a few months. This red tide started in October and has already become very intense. It has killed 452 sea turtles, and nearly 100 manatees. It has also killed 11 dolphins and thousands of fish.

There is possible alien life or life forming on a planet called Kepler 1625b the planet has a moon and also is in the habitable zone. Habitable zones are zones where it’s not too hot or too cold, just right for life. Scientists, Alex Teachey and David Kipping have been looking for a planets with moons for about a decade and now think it all paid off. This mysterious planet is not yet verified by Hubble telescope, but even it might find the moon because it is very big. Soon after a lot of research the planet probably was just gas and couldn’t be landed on, but if Kepler 1625b’s moon is confirmed real, our perspective of our moon might change based on Kepler 1625b’s probably real moon.

So Amber filled her car with nessecities including clothes, food, important papers, and some personal items. The lava had eaten her home in fewer than 24 hours. Kilauea is one of the five volcanoes that form the Big Island located in Hawaii. “‘ The volcano was swelling with magma”’ (8) said Wendy Stovalla “...a geologist at the U.S. Geological Survey. ‘ The pressure of all the magma swelling broke open a new pathway for the magma to flow”’(8).

To people with colorblindness a mountain filled with fall colors would look dull and black. But thanks to new 2000$ viewfinders they now can see the color of fall leaves. Van Lew a 20 year old woman had never seen color until she looked through the viewfinder”Red was the biggest difference. I mean I can’t describe it”. How do you see like that all the time? she said. Imagine seeing fall for the first time, how amazing would that be if for 20 years you hadn’t seen it.

Spooky Death Comet will fly by Earth shortly after Halloween! The Death Rock is a space rock that is shaped like a skull. This is the second appearance of the Death Comet. On the first appearance, it was found by the University of Hawaii’s Pan-STARRS-1 telescope on October 10, 2015. On the first appearance, it came so close to Earth that it almost killed thousands of people. That’s where it got it’s name. The second appearance was discovered by NASA, but thankfully this appearance won’t be deadly, and it will be a safe 24 million miles away.

Seal on an airport runway

In Alaska I guess it is normal for polar bears to walk on to an airport runway. But a couple of days ago a seal was spotted on an airport runway in Alaska at Utqiagvik (pronounced(out-GHAR’-vik). Airport. The north slope animal control went to the airport to take the seal away by sled and return it back home. And not only that but the seal weighed 450 pounds so they needed a lot of people to pull that sled

Sports/Gymnastics:

There’s sudden confusion in the USA gymnastics world right now. Olympic committee team releases a second open letter to the gymnastics community, because of their recent action to take away USA gymnastics status as the National Governing Body of gymnastics. They react by saying “this is a situation in which there are no perfect solutions.”
But other people state that they are eager for the hearing panel to begin its work and for our board to come to a final determination.

For most climbers, professional or amateur, summiting Mount Everest — Earth’s highest mountain above sea level — once is a crowning achievement. However, don’t tell that to Kami Rita, who scaled the peak of the treacherous mountain for the 22^nd time on May 16, 2018 breaking the previous record of 21 successful ascents he shared with two fellow guides. And the veteran mountaineer is not done yet! Prior to embarking on the recent climb, the 48-year-old announced, “My goal is to reach the summit of Everest at least 25 times. I want to set a new record not just for myself but for my family, the Sherpa people and for my country, Nepal.”

In the shallow costal waters of the United States, Central America, and South America. Lives the Bonnethead shark, and with it, comes new information we’ve never heard before. On September 21, 2018, a group of researchers published their studies of shark in their natural habitat, and came back with some rather surprising news. The Bonnethead shark has been documented to eat the sea grass in its natural habitat, as well as the regular prey for sharks, such as squid and fish. They thought the shark had eaten the grass accidentally. A group of researchers from the University of California, discovered enzymes in the shark’s stomach that allows the shark to digest the sea grass in its natural habitat.

The Google home was set up to show how it could work for a family or with kids. You could ask it for your everyday needs, for example: the weather, the time, to play a video, call someone, alarm, and so much more. It has a human like voice and is great for playing with kids. You can ask Google Assistant to "read along" with a book it knows and it will play matching music and sound effects in the background. If you want it could control your household items, like turning on the lights or playing music. It could be incredibly convenient for a busy family. This investigation is amazing.

Did you know that eating your Halloween pumpkin is good for you? Not only is it good for you, it is also good for the planet. Scientists estimate that about 18,000 tons of edible pumpkin innards are thrown away each year! That is the equivalent of over 100,000 pumpkin pies. About 1.3 billion pumpkins are thrown away each year which is a shame because the seeds are delicious and if we didn’t throw them away, a lot more families probably would have food.

Have you ever wanted your toy to turn into a robot? Well you should hear about the new “robotic skins” which can instantly transform any object into a robot capable of performing basic tasks, like sprinting or climbing. Made using elastic polymer or fabric, the flexible robotic skins can be easily wrapped around objects of all shapes and sizes. They are equipped with sensors as well as air pouches that inflate when pumped with gas, and/or nickel-titanium coils which contract when heated by an electric current. When activated, they help manipulate the object the skins are wrapped around and bring it to “life.” short video below shows a stuffed horse toy wearing the skins.
