In this classic fairytale from Hans Christian Andersen, two tricksters tell a vain emperor that they can weave him the most beautiful suit of clothes that will be invisible to fools and those who are unfit for their jobs. When the suit is finished and the Emperor parades through the town to show off his "invisible" suit, it is a little child who has the courage to speak up and tell the truth. A perfect tale to spark discussions on the importance of overcoming fear and vanity to speak the truth.  (Duration 10 minutes)  Ages 4-10...moreCopy Link

Good morning and welcome to KidNuz. I’m Tori. Today is Thursday, November 14th, 2019 and we begin with…. … An incredible case of lost and found in a forest. A tiny, silvery creature with the head of a mouse and the body of a deer has been spotted for the first time in a generation. It’s called the silver-backed Chevrotain and is native to South Vietnam. Local villagers found the odd-looking animal first and convinced zookeepers to come out and see for themselves. And that they did, with cameras in hand. Interestingly, the Chevrotain has both fangs.. and hooves…and soaking wet, probably only weighs about 10 pounds. Scientists know next to nothing about this rare species and had feared it was lost forever. Now that it’s been rediscovered, researchers are taking steps to protect it. Never stop believing in second chances. Quarterback Colin Kaepernick hasn’t played a down since 2016 but this weekend, he’ll take center stage at a private workout set up by the NFL. As a San Francisco 49er, Kaepernick ignited a national firestorm by kneeling during the National Anthem to bring awareness to social injustice. The Niners cut him loose and when no other team stepped up to sign him, he accused the league of collusion – or a secret plan – to keep him off the field and out of the headlines. This season, with several quarterbacks either injured or not playing well, there’s reportedly renewed interest in his skills. According to Kaepernick: he’s been “in shape and ready… for 3 years.” It’s a day off for the Impeachment hearings on Capitol Hill, but that doesn’t mean there’s no political news to report. Sometime today, yet another Democrat may throw his hat into the 2020 election. Former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick is expected to announce his candidacy by video or social media message. Although he’s missed the filing deadlines to appear on the primary ballot in two states, he thinks he could be the candidate who unites both liberal and moderate voters. If an airplane flight is in your holiday plans, you might want to keep your shoes.. on. “Gross”, “So dirty” and “disgusting” are just a few of the more than 1000 comments about a snapshot gone viral. Over the weekend, someone posted an anonymous photo of two grimy feet resting on a fellow passenger’s headrest –just inches above their face. Gross out factor and common courtesy aside, airplanes are known carriers of mold, yeast and the E. Coli bacteria, reason enough to keep your feet – and as many body parts as possible – covered. According to a consumer watchdog study done last year, the top 5 dirtiest places on a plane are, in order; seat belts, tray tables, washroom handles, seat pockets and headrests. Much of an Italian city famous for its waterways is underwater. More than 85% of the normally dry parts of Venice are flooded following an exceptionally high tide – or “acqua alta.” Officials are reporting up to six feet of standing water in some places, causing catastrophic damage to some businesses and museums – including St. Mark’s Basilica, the city’s most famous church and home to countless works of art. Schools remained closed yesterday as residents and tourists navigated city streets in thigh high rain boots. This is reportedly the worst flooding since 1966. The town’s mayor blames the unusual event on the effects of climate change. And that’s it for KidNuz. Now, our KidNuz quiz. The newly rediscovered silver-backed Chevrotain looks like a combination of what two animals? It has the head of a mouse and the body of a deer. Why does quarterback Colin Kaepernick believe he’s been kept out of the NFL for three years? Because he kneeled during the National Anthem to protest social injustice. What happened aboard an airplane that has thousands of people grossed out? A passenger dangled a pair of dirty feet on top of another passenger’s headrest. Which Italian city has been hit with the worst flooding in more than 50 years? Venice, Italy. In one for the road…Sixteen-year-old Greta Thunberg is on the move again. After 2 ½ months in the U.S., the now famous activist set sail yesterday to attend next month’s U.N. Climate conference in Europe. The meeting was supposed to take place in South America but was moved at the last minute to Spain. Vowing not to fly, the tenacious teen put a call out on social media to anyone with plans to sail across the Atlantic. An Australian family stepped up. Turns out they have a 48-foot catamaran, a baby, and a million subscribers following their #boatlife on YouTube. And for a few weeks, they’ll have the world’s most famous climate activist on board, too. Before we go.. our birthday shout outs today go to Madison in San Francisco, Lauren and Isaac in Bethesda, Maryland, Aaditya in Menlo Park, California, Maizie in Atherton, California and Eli in Hamilton, Bermuda. Thanks everyone for listening! And we hope you tune in for more KidNuz tomorrow morning.     The post 11.14.2019 appeared first on KidNuz....moreCopy Link

Ooooh yeah. I loved talking to Dan Elliott from Pointed Man Band about his music and specifically the brand new record ‘Amongst the Tall Trees’. You’ve got to hear the song ‘Go!’. It’s awesome. A blast of energy and fun that will make you want to get outside and play. It’s just an appetizer too. The whole album is awesome. Enjoy this convo with Dan!
