thank you
hello everyone hope your Thursday is off
to a fantastic start happy Friday Eve
I'm Coy wire here for you on CNN 10.
hurricane Ian a powerful storm that hit
Cuba earlier this week grew to a
category 4 storm before making landfall
on Florida's West Coast when we recorded
this show Ian was just shy of a category
5 hurricane this level of storm brings
Winds of over 150 miles per hour and can
cause catastrophic Storm surges creating
an abnormal rise of water levels the
scale for hurricanes as seen in this
animation is based on a one to five
rating dependent on A hurricane's
maximum sustained wind speed officials
warned it was too late to evacuate in
some places Ian already caused severe
flooding in the Florida Keys and
widespread power outages were expected
across the state boats in some areas are
ready to deliver supplies and make
rescues if necessary hurricane Ian is
one of the most powerful storms to
threaten the United States in decades
only two category five storms have ever
made landfall in the U.S in the last 30
years both in Florida millions of
residents are under evacuation orders or
advisories in parts of coastal Florida
we'll have reporters there for you all
week long to keep you updated on the
storm and Recovery efforts CNN
meteorologist Jennifer Gray now
explaining more about these powerful
forces of nature
tropical systems come in all shapes and
sizes you have tropical depressions
tropical storms and once it is strong
enough to become a hurricane you have
five categories of category five being
the strongest
foreign
most frequently hit by a hurricane
Florida Louisiana and Texas but as much
as we know about hurricanes forecasting
them is still a challenge just as we
name each storm each storm has its own
personality like Katrina in 2005 which
intensified rapidly overnight going from
a category 3 to a category five it
became the fourth most intense hurricane
on record as of that time in the
forecast track can change dramatically
like Erica in 2015 or a system that can
be viewed as relatively weak like a
tropical storm could end up like
tropical storm Allison in 2001 the
remnants of the storm stalled over
Southeast Texas dumping 35 inches of
rain over Houston in just five days the
storm became the first non-hurricane to
have its name retired
10 second trivia what C separates
Northern Africa and Europe North
Mediterranean Caspian or Baltic
the Mediterranean Sea is your correct
answer let's go there now where
researchers are rummaging through some
really cool stuff
we have a fish sauce we have
grapes or resins we don't know
olives different kinds of Olives dates
figs
all the Mediterranean diets stored and
well preserved
it's Unique because first because of its
size it is about 20 meters long and 5
meters beam which is the largest
shipwreck we've ever excavated and also
because of its dating it's dated between
the 7th and the 8th Century CE which is
the shift between the Byzantine and
Islamic rule in the area
if we look at the history books they
usually tell us that in this shift
after the decline of the Byzantine rule
in this area and the rise of the Islamic
rule then Commerce
almost stopped
in the emerging field of bioacoustics
scientists are looking at how to protect
and conserve our planet by listening to
it today the call to Earth series is
headed to a biodiversity hot spot in
India where a local researcher has
developed a device to alleviate the
growing issue of human elephant conflict

lakhandwala stands in the field of a
neighboring Village scanning the edge of
the forest for one of her favorite
animals
I went to Nepal as a very young kid
along with my uncle on and saw elephants
for the first time interacted with them
saw them that itself fascinated me that
there is this huge intelligent animal
and that we know very little about
I started watching documentaries and
what fascinated me about elephants is
just the way they communicate that
childhood passion never went away and
now as a conservation scientist she's
less interested in getting closer to the
animal as she isn't keeping them away
human elephant conflict is a big issue
in India
India has the largest population of wild
Asian elephants around twenty six
thousand they are an endangered species
and each year approximately 500 people
and 80 to 100 elephants die in the
ongoing struggle to coexist
here in assault deforestation has led to
a staggering loss of habitat driving the
elephants out of the forest more often
just looking for a meal
eighty percent of the people in this
area have agriculture as their primary
occupations and because of this there is
a lot of human elephant conflicts
determine to find a solution for people
and pachyderms to live in harmony SEMA
founded the elephant Acoustics project
the idea is to understand the Asian
elephant Communications they're capable
of high frequency records and use
Acoustics as a medium to mitigate human
elephant conflict
her team of like-minded Engineers are
currently developing the elephant call
detector
what is the frequency that you know
about these microphones using a
combination of Hardware a vocalization
database artificial intelligence and
local cell networks the device is
designed to detect an elephant sound
alert local officials of its presence
and then make the right kind of noise to
hopefully send the animal in a different
direction we're trying to use a
combination of all the natural sounds
that are occurring in the elephant
landscape we are trying to use B sounds
tiger calls and leopard calls which the
elephants don't like and we will try to
do it in a round robin fashion that so
that the elephants don't get adapted to
these sounds in Assam there are about
229 human deaths that happen in last
three years because of some reason
related to elephants so we are trying to
reduce this death
he's conducted an estimated 500
interviews and finds that the majority
of people are eager for a solution
like the elephant call detector I have
been working in the kaziranga kabyang
long landscape since 2015 and with any
technology most of the people are a
little apprehensive in the beginning but
then they started working with the
community understanding their language
speaking in the language I think they've
been very very accepting of new ideas
and how they can implement it

today's 10 out of 10 it's like Halloween
come early in the French Alps no treats
just tricks hang gliders paragliders and
all kinds of High Flyers went soaring
through the air for a wide range of
prizes thousands of people gathering for
La cupeca free flying Festival Pilots
try to outdo each other by wearing the
wackiest costumes they can one
contestant said though the goal isn't to
win we're just trying to make a
beautiful structure make the kids laugh

Talawanda High School you get our shout
out for the day and you bring us our fun
fact for the day did you know Ohio is
sometimes called the mother of modern

seven U.S presidents Ohio we hope you
and everyone watching around the world
have a wonderful one I'm Coy wire thanks
for watching CNN 10.
