The Wisconsin Underwater 00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:20.319 Archaeological Association announced that the 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:24.319 FJ King, a ship missing since 1886, was found 00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:28.620 by a team led by Brendan Valot. Using a remotely 00:08:28.620 --> 00:08:31.399 operated vehicle and sonar, the team located 00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.879 the 144 -foot schooner off Faley's Harbor, Wisconsin. 00:08:36.940 --> 00:08:40.000 Valot expressed disbelief at the swift discovery, 00:08:40.460 --> 00:08:44.200 noting it had been a long shot.

In business news, In London, 00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.779 hundreds of high -end sport utility vehicles 00:08:54.779 --> 00:08:58.179 usually roll off Jaguar Land Rover's production 00:08:58.179 --> 00:09:02.240 lines every day. This month, they have fallen 00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:06.179 silent due to a major cyber attack. The breach 00:09:06.179 --> 00:09:09.139 prompted the company to power down its operations, 00:09:09.539 --> 00:09:12.000 which could cost tens of millions of dollars 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:16.480 and threaten numerous jobs. Jack Orland Rover 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:19.259 is now racing to restart its systems with the 00:09:19.259 --> 00:09:22.940 help of cybersecurity experts. The process will 00:09:22.940 --> 00:09:25.860 take time and has extended the shutdown to September 00:09:25.860 --> 00:09:29.919 24th.

The company is working with the 00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:39.100 United Kingdom's National Cybersecurity Center 00:09:39.100 --> 00:09:42.830 to investigate the hack. Members of Parliament 00:09:42.830 --> 00:09:45.289 are urging the Treasury to support the supply 00:09:45.289 --> 00:09:48.710 chain. This situation arrives as the company 00:09:48.710 --> 00:09:52.009 faces challenges from increased tariffs and declining 00:09:52.009 --> 00:09:56.950 profits.

And now back to the show. Let's talk 00:11:05.610 --> 00:11:09.340 science. This overlooked workout is key to aging 00:11:09.340 --> 00:11:13.360 better. Scientists say power, or your ability 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.000 to move quickly, is one of the first fitness 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:19.700 skills to fade with age. You might feel strong, 00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:22.080 but if everyday movements feel slower, there's 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:26.159 a reason. As we age, we lose our ability to move 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:30.159 quickly. This aspect of health is called power, 00:11:30.539 --> 00:11:35.269 the capacity to generate force fast. Power training 00:11:35.269 --> 00:11:38.490 can protect your mobility, independence, and 00:11:38.490 --> 00:11:43.070 strength as you age. A 2007 study found high 00:11:43.070 --> 00:11:45.970 -velocity resistance training was more effective 00:11:45.970 --> 00:11:48.409 than traditional strength training for older 00:11:48.409 --> 00:11:52.190 adults. You do not need to be an athlete to train 00:11:52.190 --> 00:11:55.049 for power, as it can make daily activities feel 00:11:55.049 --> 00:12:03.480 easier. Ben Stiller will star in a new Apple 00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:07.159 TV Plus limited series after stepping back from 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:11.399 directing Severance. After the success of Severance, 00:12:11.779 --> 00:12:13.960 Stiller has signed on to act in a rare role. 00:12:15.019 --> 00:12:18.220 He will star alongside Jessica Chastain in an 00:12:18.220 --> 00:12:21.600 eight -part limited series called The Off Weeks. 00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:24.740 The series follows a writing professor, played 00:12:24.740 --> 00:12:27.440 by Stiller, going through a messy divorce while 00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:30.580 engaging in a romance with the mysterious Stella 00:12:30.580 --> 00:12:35.419 West, portrayed by Chastain. Chastain will premiere 00:12:35.419 --> 00:12:38.639 her first Apple TV Plus project, The Savant, 00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:44.320 on September 26. Stiller has also created a documentary 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:47.419 feature about his parents, titled Stiller and 00:12:47.419 --> 00:12:52.740 Mera, Nothing is Lost, arriving in October. Well, 00:12:52.740 --> 00:12:55.639 alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the 00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:59.759 day.
