Calaruga Shark Media. A huge dinosaur footprint has turned up

2
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:13.359
on the beach in the uk Hi. I'm Johnny Mack

3
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:16.399
with five Good News Stories. Joe was walking down the

4
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:19.320
beach looking for fossils of dinosaur bones. He said, I've

5
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:21.120
been walked for an hour or two and then found anything.

6
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:22.640
So it was a bit down on the dumps. But

7
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:24.480
then I looked down I could see one of the

8
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:26.480
toes in the clay, thinking it could be a footprint.

9
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:29.359
I uncovered it and discovered a pretty big footprint of

10
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:32.600
an iguanadon. I've never heard of iguanadon. What a cool

11
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:34.960
sounding name. It's high up in the sequence, which means

12
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:36.880
it's a bit younger than the other footprints on the island.

13
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:40.439
Belonged to a really big animal. You see, Iguanadons were

14
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:43.320
large herbivores, measuring up to ten meters long and weighing

15
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:47.240
over four tons. Joe tells us iguanadons are pretty cool

16
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:49.560
and we're quite common, but to see a footprint so

17
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:52.119
well preserved in this area is great. Joe is a

18
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:55.439
guide for White Coast fossils and explains the Isle of

19
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:57.280
Wight it's one of the best places in Europe for

20
00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:01.439
finding dinosaur remains and footprints. Apparently, a free children's bookstore

21
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:04.000
has opened in Maryland to provide diverse reading options and

22
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:07.599
improve literacy rates. Nice job by our Kids Read. They

23
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:10.840
opened a free children's bookstore in a Baltimore area mall

24
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:14.400
the goal to promote proficient literacy among underserved children. They

25
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.640
offer thousands of donated books supported by the Baltimore and

26
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:21.079
Princeton communities, Scholastic and others, with a focus on literature

27
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:24.920
that showcases various cultures and backgrounds. The executive director wants

28
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:27.480
to instill a love and appreciation for reading in children,

29
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:30.120
just like he had. Here's a mope for the future.

30
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:34.000
Stanford University chemists say they've developed a practical, low cost

31
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:37.680
way to permanently remove atmospheric carbon dioxide that's the main

32
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:43.719
driver of global climate change. Matthew canaan Stanford professor of chemistry, explains,

33
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:46.280
the Earth has an inexhaustible supply of minerals that are

34
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:48.719
capable of removing CO two from the atmosphere, but they

35
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:51.040
just don't react fast enough on their own accounteract human

36
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:53.879
greenhouse gas emissions. Our work solves this problem in a

37
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.200
way that we think is uniquely scalable. In nature. Common

38
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.519
minerals called silicates react with water and atmospheric two to

39
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:05.159
form stable bicarbonate ions and solid carbonate minerals, process known

40
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:09.560
as weathering. Stanford postdoctoral scholar Euxan Chen developed a new

41
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:13.280
process for converting slow weathering silicates into much more reactive minerals.

42
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.120
The capture and store atmospheric carbon quickly. A lot of

43
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:18.280
science here in the rest of the article, but hopefully

44
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:21.800
they can figure that out. Meanwhile, tiny frogs are evading

45
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:25.199
extinction with human help. Conservationists are working with the tiny

46
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:28.960
Darwin's frog. They're celebrating the birth of thirty three frog

47
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:33.000
leats at the London Zoo. Darwin Frogs monitored populations dropped

48
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.919
by ninety percent within a year of a deadly fungus

49
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:38.319
infecting the forest where they live. In twenty twenty three,

50
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:40.840
more than fifty of the tiny frogs are brought to

51
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:42.639
London and the hope is that one day they can

52
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:46.120
return to the wild once the fungus is contained. Baby

53
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:48.960
name experts claim they know which names are going to

54
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:52.439
surge in popularity over the next ten years. Sophie Kim

55
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:54.840
is a baby name expert and has shared the baby

56
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:56.639
names that are going to rise the fastest over the

57
00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:58.919
next ten years. Are you ready for these names? Here

58
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.800

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:08.039
