  crisis. Wood emphasized the need for a framework
• 4:06

  residential neighborhoods. Predics worry that
• 4:13
  upward development could dampen Boston's historic
• 4:16
  charm, with City Councilor Ed Flynn noting, Boston
• 4:20
  is a unique city. Supporters argue that if there
• 4:24
  can be no height in downtown, where can there
• 4:27
  be height? The Planning Department Board of Directors
• 4:30
  will meet Thursday at 3 .30 in the afternoon.

• 7:41
  Jaguar Land Rover's production lines every day.
• 7:46
  This month, they have fallen silent due to a
• 7:49
  major cyber attack. The breach prompted the company
• 7:52
  to power down its operations, which could cost
• 7:55
  tens of millions of dollars and threaten numerous
• 7:59
  jobs. Jack Orland Rover is now racing to restart
• 8:03
  its systems with the help of cybersecurity experts.
• 8:07
  The process will take time and has extended the
• 8:10
  shutdown to September 24th. The hack has compromised
• 8:14
  some data, though initial reports indicated no
• 8:17
  stolen customer information. The company is working
• 8:21
  with the United Kingdom's National Cyber Security
• 8:24
  Center to investigate the hack. Members of Parliament
• 8:28
  are urging the Treasury to support the supply
• 8:30

• 9:44
  back to the show. Let's talk science. This overlooked
• 9:49
  workout is key to aging better. Scientists say
• 9:53
  power, or your ability to move quickly, is one
• 9:56
  of the first fitness skills to fade with age.
• 10:00
  You might feel strong, but if everyday movements
• 10:02
  feel slower, there's a reason. As we age, we
• 10:06
  lose our ability to move quickly. This aspect
• 10:10
  of health is called power, the capacity to generate
• 10:14
  force fast. Power training can protect your mobility,
• 10:19
  independence, and strength as you age. A 2007
• 10:23
  study found high -velocity resistance training
• 10:26
  was more effective than traditional strength
• 10:29
  training for older adults. You do not need to
• 10:32
  be an athlete to train for power, as it can make
• 10:35
  daily activities feel easier. Ben Stiller will

  the mysterious Stella West, portrayed by Chastain.
• 11:16
  Chastain will premiere her first Apple TV Plus
• 11:18
  project, The Savant, on September 26. Stiller

• 11:27
  his parents, titled Stiller and Mera, Nothing
• 11:30
  is Lost, arriving in October. Well, alrighty
• 11:35
  folks, it's time for the quote of the day. And
