Last week, the district 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.459 announced intentions to close middle school grades 00:04:48.459 --> 00:04:51.819 at four K -8 schools, citing low performance 00:04:51.819 --> 00:04:54.759 and graduation rates, which caught parents and 00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:58.839 staff off guard. Superintendent Fabiola Bagula 00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:01.839 acknowledged that while other schools may underperform, 00:05:02.339 --> 00:05:04.959 Bethune has demonstrated better success, leading 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:08.879 her to pause the closure decision.

The Wisconsin Underwater 00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:03.620 Archaeological Association announced that the 00:08:03.620 --> 00:08:07.620 FJ King, a ship missing since 1886, was found 00:08:07.620 --> 00:08:11.920 by a team led by Brendan Valot. Using a remotely 00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:14.699 operated vehicle and sonar, the team located 00:08:14.699 --> 00:08:19.199 the 144 -foot schooner off Bailey's Harbor, Wisconsin. 00:08:20.220 --> 00:08:23.279 Valot expressed disbelief at the swift discovery, 00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:27.480 noting it had been a long shot. The ship sank 00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:30.459 during a storm, and its crew was rescued by a 00:08:30.459 --> 00:08:35.340 passing vessel. In business news, In London, 00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:38.100 hundreds of high -end sport utility vehicles 00:08:38.100 --> 00:08:41.480 usually roll off Jaguar Land Rover's production 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:45.539 lines every day. This month, they have fallen 00:08:45.539 --> 00:08:49.480 silent due to a major cyber attack. The breach 00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:52.440 prompted the company to power down its operations, 00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:55.299 which could cost tens of millions of dollars 00:08:55.299 --> 00:08:59.779 and threaten numerous jobs. Jack Orland -Rover 00:08:59.779 --> 00:09:02.539 is now racing to restart its systems with the 00:09:02.539 --> 00:09:06.240 help of cybersecurity experts. The process will 00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:09.139 take time and has extended the shutdown to September 00:09:09.139 --> 00:09:13.220 24th. The hack has compromised some data, though 00:09:13.220 --> 00:09:16.220 initial reports indicated no stolen customer 00:09:16.220 --> 00:09:19.480 information. The company is working with the 00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:22.379 United Kingdom's National Cybersecurity Center 00:09:22.379 --> 00:09:26.100 to investigate the hack. Members of Parliament 00:09:26.100 --> 00:09:28.580 are urging the Treasury to support the supply 00:09:28.580 --> 00:09:32.000 chain. This situation arrives as the company 00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:35.299 faces challenges from increased tariffs and declining 00:09:35.299 --> 00:09:40.240 profits.

And now, back to the show. Let's talk 00:10:48.909 --> 00:10:52.639 science. This overlooked workout is key to aging 00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:56.639 better. Scientists say power, or your ability 00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:59.299 to move quickly, is one of the first fitness 00:10:59.299 --> 00:11:02.980 skills to fade with age. You might feel strong, 00:11:03.220 --> 00:11:05.379 but if everyday movements feel slower, there's 00:11:05.379 --> 00:11:09.440 a reason. As we age, we lose our ability to move 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:13.480 quickly. This aspect of health is called power, 00:11:13.820 --> 00:11:18.549 the capacity to generate force fast. Power training 00:11:18.549 --> 00:11:21.789 can protect your mobility, independence, and 00:11:21.789 --> 00:11:26.370 strength as you age. A 2007 study found high 00:11:26.370 --> 00:11:29.269 -velocity resistance training was more effective 00:11:29.269 --> 00:11:31.730 than traditional strength training for older 00:11:31.730 --> 00:11:35.490 adults. You do not need to be an athlete to train 00:11:35.490 --> 00:11:38.350 for power, as it can make daily activities feel 00:11:38.350 --> 00:11:46.759 easier. Ben Stiller will star in a new Apple 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:50.440 TV Plus limited series after stepping back from 00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:54.659 directing Severance. After the success of Severance, 00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:57.240 Stiller has signed on to act in a rare role. 00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:01.500 He will star alongside Jessica Chastain in an 00:12:01.500 --> 00:12:04.940 eight -part limited series called The Off Weeks. 00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:08.019 The series follows a writing professor, played 00:12:08.019 --> 00:12:10.740 by Stiller, going through a messy divorce while 00:12:10.740 --> 00:12:13.879 engaging in a romance with the mysterious Stella 00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.720 West, portrayed by Chastain. Chastain will premiere 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:21.940 her first Apple TV Plus project, The Savant, 00:12:22.179 --> 00:12:27.600 on September 26. Stiller has also created a documentary 00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:30.720 feature about his parents, titled Stiller and 00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:36.080 Mera, Nothing is Lost, arriving in October. Well, 00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:38.980 alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the 00:12:38.980 --> 00:12:43.080 day. And today, our quote comes from the American 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:47.240 historian and author, Barbara Touchman. And she 00:12:47.240 --> 00:13:03.279 said, And that's a wrap for this morning.
