00:00:11
well hello there I'm KY wire this is
00:00:13
cnn1 and it's Thursday September 12th
00:00:16
happy Friday Eve random thought for you
00:00:19
why is it that we park on a driveway but
00:00:21
drive on a Parkway and when we send
00:00:23
something by ship it's called cargo but
00:00:25
by car it's called shipment weird we've
00:00:27
got another action pack 10 minutes for
00:00:29
you today the best darn viewers in news
00:00:32
let's get to it we start out today on
00:00:35
the Gulf Coast of the US where Francine
00:00:37
officially became a hurricane and sped
00:00:39
up as it gathered power over warm Gulf
00:00:42
Waters hurricane Francine made landfall
00:00:45
last night in Louisiana while hurricane
00:00:47
Francine isn't forecast to reach major
00:00:50
hurricane status or get any stronger
00:00:52
than the category 2 it is still expected
00:00:55
to pack a punch storm surge along the
00:00:57
coast could reach 10 ft in the worst
00:01:00
areas and damaging winds could approach
00:01:02
100 mph near the eye officials and
00:01:05
residents have been preparing for the
00:01:07
storm's impact for days evacuation
00:01:10
orders expanded across the Louisiana
00:01:12
coast because of the storm surge threat
00:01:14
including parts of the greater New
00:01:16
Orleans area outside of the levy
00:01:19
protection system schools and public
00:01:21
offices in the region are closed
00:01:24
hurricane Francine is expected to unload
00:01:26
a whole lot of rain on parts of the Gulf
00:01:28
Coast especially over the the areas of
00:01:30
Louisiana and Mississippi where the
00:01:33
storm is forecast to travel rainfall
00:01:35
rates could reach up to a whopping 4
00:01:37
Ines per hour and some places could see
00:01:40
a foot of rain that has officials
00:01:42
preparing for flash flooding the good
00:01:44
news is the storm is expected to move
00:01:47
through the Gulf Coast pretty quickly if
00:01:49
you have pets at home it's probably not
00:01:51
a stretch to say that your fur baby
00:01:52
feels like a four-legged member of your
00:01:54
family but in China officials there feel
00:01:58
like some are taking the whole furb B
00:02:00
concept to a whole new level because
00:02:02
large numbers of folks are choosing pets
00:02:05
over having children pets are even on
00:02:07
track to outnumber kids in some cities
00:02:10
in China in several years China's
00:02:12
population has been declining for years
00:02:14
and some are pointing to pets as the
00:02:18
problem married for seven years Hansen
00:02:21
and his wife Momo May resemble China's
00:02:23
family of the future do you have any
00:02:26
children uh no not yet no are you
00:02:28
planning on having children not right
00:02:30
now not this period of Lifetime the only
00:02:32
parenting they're doing revolves around
00:02:34
their six
00:02:36
dogs yes they are all part of our family
00:02:39
we are one big
00:02:41
family it's like our children yes it's
00:02:43
like our daughters our sons a reflection
00:02:46
of the independent-minded younger
00:02:48
generation in China where having
00:02:50
children is no longer a priority
00:02:52
different Generations value things
00:02:54
different according to a recent study by
00:02:56
Goldman Sachs the number of pets in
00:02:58
urban China is expected to surpass the
00:03:00
number of children ages 0 to 4 by the
00:03:03
end of the year by 2030 there could be
00:03:06
nearly twice as many pets in urban China
00:03:09
than young children business opportunity
00:03:12
for this Doggy Daycare owner who is also
00:03:14
chosen not to have kids I feel like
00:03:17
people start to be more like this is
00:03:21
what I want or this is what I like for
00:03:23
my life rather than like oh this is what
00:03:26
the society taught me to do or this is
00:03:28
what my parents want me to do officials
00:03:31
reported a record low birth rate last
00:03:33
year as the population decreased for the
00:03:36
second year in a row a sharp dip partly
00:03:39
due to co lockdown while analysts expect
00:03:42
a rebound this year it is still a blow
00:03:44
to the world's second largest economy
00:03:47
one so worried about overpopulation it
00:03:49
limited most Urban couples to a single
00:03:52
child at a Women's Conference last year
00:03:54
China's strongman leader xiin ping
00:03:57
lectured delegates to foster a new type
00:03:59
of marriage and childbearing culture
00:04:02
this newfound pet popularity comes at a
00:04:05
time when the Chinese government is
00:04:07
offering things like Financial
00:04:09
incentives and time off from work all
00:04:11
with the goal of promoting
00:04:14
Parenthood yet for many young Chinese
00:04:17
none of this seems to matter I don't
00:04:19
think my choice for not having a kid
00:04:22
would make much of a difference for
00:04:24
China the country's leadership very much
00:04:27
begs to differ as they doggedly try to
00:04:30
boost China's birth rate and its
00:04:32
economic
00:04:34
strength a bag of Cheetos with world
00:04:37
changing implications it sounds a little
00:04:39
cheesy but officials are saying this
00:04:41
little bit of litter had a whole lot of
00:04:42
environmental effects it started with a
00:04:45
National Park's post about an open bag
00:04:46
of Cheetos found dropped inside New
00:04:48
Mexico's famous Carl's Bad Caverns where
00:04:51
only water is allowed and for good
00:04:53
reason the post said aside from the risk
00:04:55
of attracting animals the snacks
00:04:57
softened by the caves humidity formed a
00:04:59
perfect environment to quickly spread
00:05:01
mold and fungi via curious Critters like
00:05:04
insects Rangers reportedly spent 20
00:05:06
minutes removing resulting molds and
00:05:08
debris from inside the cavern to
00:05:10
mitigate the effects I mean I know
00:05:12
Cheetos claim to be dangerously cheesy
00:05:14
but who knew all kidding aside Rangers
00:05:17
say the spilled snack may seem trivial
00:05:19
but quote to life in the cave it can be
00:05:22
world
00:05:23
changing 10c trivia on a day we're
00:05:26
recognizing National literacy month a
00:05:28
sentence which contains all 26 letters
00:05:30
of the English alphabet is called a what
00:05:33
lexigram pangram idiogram
00:05:38
logogram put your hands up if you said
00:05:40
pangram also called a hollow alphabetic
00:05:43
sentence uses every letter of a given
00:05:46
alphabet at least once it's no secret
00:05:48
social media influencers are raking in
00:05:51
clicks and cash with their content and
00:05:54
makeup videos are some of the most
00:05:55
popular out there even when the creators
00:05:58
talk about something completely
00:05:59
different while they apply their look
00:06:01
well there's some surprising science
00:06:03
behind why it's so hard to scroll past
00:06:05
these videos and psychologists say there
00:06:08
are two Powers at work keeping some
00:06:10
people glued to their screens you don't
00:06:13
tell me you've never had this before cuz
00:06:14
I know you hended you've probably seen
00:06:17
them when I developed a chronic illness
00:06:20
I expected that it would be hard to say
00:06:22
no videos of people putting on makeup
00:06:25
while talking about something completely
00:06:27
unrelated but have you ever stopped and
00:06:29
wondered why we can't stop watching well
00:06:32
psychologists tell us there's more
00:06:34
happening in these videos than you
00:06:36
realize and it's all explained by
00:06:38
cognitive science it not only creates
00:06:41
that sort of authentic connection piece
00:06:43
but also gives somebody something to
00:06:46
look at something to observe while
00:06:47
they're listening to your story there
00:06:49
are two intriguing psychological Powers
00:06:52
working to keep you watching these
00:06:54
videos the first cognitive load Theory
00:06:57
explains why it can sometimes help to be
00:07:00
distracted when taking in information
00:07:02
your working memory Can Only Hold so
00:07:05
much new information so when you see a
00:07:08
common task like someone applying makeup
00:07:10
while being told something serious get
00:07:13
ready with me while I talk about things
00:07:15
I would avoid saying if my friend
00:07:17
developed a chronic illness the
00:07:19
familiarity of these motions reduces the
00:07:22
strain of processing all that
00:07:24
information a second power keeping you
00:07:27
engaged is your brain's proven love of
00:07:29
authenticity our brains are drawn to it
00:07:33
we tend to trust people who are likable
00:07:36
and people become likable when we know
00:07:38
them and creators can aim to monetize
00:07:41
this trust it's really difficult to
00:07:43
monetize straight away and people don't
00:07:46
know you they don't trust you they're
00:07:48
not going to buy from you and I try to I
00:07:50
try to mix and match because sometimes
00:07:52
I'd be making a coffee and then
00:07:54
sometimes I'd be putting makeup on it
00:07:56
makes you seem like a real human being
00:07:59
there's a but here it can be hard for
00:08:01
our brains to distinguish between
00:08:03
genuine advice and messaging that can be
00:08:06
misleading harmful or messaging that's
00:08:09
just meant to sell us something not all
00:08:12
content is deceptive though and knowing
00:08:14
the science behind them makes them all
00:08:17
the more
00:08:22
[Applause]
00:08:25
