Good morning and welcome to KidNuz. I’m Tori. Today is Friday, October 18th, 2019 and we begin with… A dog of a different color and a bird of a very fine feather. In Colorado, a momma Great Dane just gave birth to nine puppies — and one of them arrived sporting deep green fur. It’s happened before but only a handful of times around the world. The headline-grabbing hue is due to a chemical in the body called biliverdin which is the green pigment found in liver fluid. Sometimes, as in this case, the biliverdin dyes the pup a shamrock shade while in the mom’s womb. It’s not dangerous, and although cool to look at, eventually fades over time. Two-thousand miles away, in Florida, it’s the blush of a bird making news. A teacher in Port St. Lucie found a cardinal in her backyard. Not the garden variety red one; a one-in-a-million yellow one. She’s photographed it and nicknamed it Sunny. Bird experts say they’ve only documented 12 in the entire United States. Sometime today, two astronauts are scheduled to take that much hyped, and long overdue, all-female walk in space. As we’ve reported here on KidNuz, NASA had to cancel it earlier this year when it realized it didn’t have two suits in the right size. Christina Koch and Jessica Meir will venture outside the International Space Station to replace a power controller that failed over the weekend. Ms. Koch is also on track to set a record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman. If she stays in orbit for 328 days, as planned, she will eclipse the former record of 288 days. Retired astronaut Scott Kelly is the overall leader. He spent 340 days in space. In International News this morning.. Don’t mess with Londoners on their way to work. Climate activists found that out the hard way when they stormed three stations and climbed on top of trains yesterday. Commuters didn’t take kindly to the protest and pulled many of them back to the platform by their legs. Dealing with demonstrators who glued themselves to the train doors was a bit stickier. For that, those headed to work had to wait for police to arrive and pry the protestors off the subway car. The group has been disrupting London planes, trains and roads for a week to demand faster action on climate change. While the National League champs get to rest up and relish their pennant win, it’s quite a different story in the American League. The Bomb cyclone weather system that descended on the northeast this week with wicked winds and heavy rains delayed game 4 to last night, and essentially condensed the rest of the schedule. That means, if the Yankees- Astros showdown goes to 7 games, they’ll play Friday in New York, Saturday and Sunday in Houston, and only have Monday off before the World Series starts on Tuesday. The Washington Nationals say.. they’re ready and waiting. One of the most popular tourist destinations on the planet will remain free to all. Earlier this year, there had been talk – and a lot of support – for requiring paid reservations to visit Lombard Street in San Francisco. Two million people a year show up to drive the so-called Crookedest Street in the World, creating massive traffic jams in the area and frustrating locals who call it home. A ‘toll’ of $10 per car made it all the way to the governor’s desk but this week, he said no. In issuing the veto, Governor Newsom said it simply wouldn’t be fair to those who want to visit the street, but can’t afford to do so. And that’s it for KidNuz. Now our KidNuz Quiz: What is expected to take place today, 220 miles above earth? The first all-female spacewalk. What unique colors showed up on two animals this week? A great Dane was born green, and a yellow cardinal showed up in Florida. When does the World Series start? Next Tuesday. What city is feeling the heat from climate activists? London, where protestors have targeted planes, trains and automobiles. In one for the road this morning: He could be driving a Ferrari or a Maserati, or pretty much any car he wanted. But the quarterback for the Saints says his preferred method of transit.. is green. For home games, Teddy Bridgewater – now filling in for the injured Drew Brees – pedals his beach cruiser to and from the stadium. He says doing so allows him to skip game day traffic .. and gives him some quiet time. Maybe not for much longer. Now that the cat is out of the bag, Bridgewater can expect company on his ride. In fact, he’s invited any interested New Orleans fans, known as Who Dat Nation, to join him. As we head in to the weekend, we want to give big KidNuz birthday shout-outs to Noah from Fort Worth, Texas and Seth from Charlotte, North Carolina who both celebrate tomorrow.. and Shane from North Olmstead, Ohio who welcomes a new year on Sunday. Thanks for listening and don’t forget to take our week in review quiz and we’ll see you back here for more KidNuz Monday morning. The post 10.18.2019 appeared first on KidNuz....moreCopy Link
