  But first, you'll be interested to know.

  It is National Macaroon Day.
• 0:29
  The uniquely American cookie is often confused with the French macaroon.
• 0:35
  Both confections share origins and key ingredients like sugar and egg whites, but diverge in
• 0:42
  texture and base ingredients.
• 0:46
  Macarons use almond flour, while macaroons utilize shredded coconut.
• 0:51
  Mrs. Esther Levy popularized macaroons in her 1871 first Jewish-American cookbook, highlighting
• 1:00
  their cake-like texture.
• 1:03
  Macaroons originally adapted when Florida's coconut palms began bearing fruit, exemplify
• 1:09
  early locavore practices.
• 1:12

  rebuild trust and quality following an FAA-mandated plan after a 737 MAX mid-air incident in January.

  better employee training, and increased oversight of suppliers.

• 7:16
  the model.

  to bring you some free classes, so listen up.

  Let's talk science.
• 8:35
  Thousands of NHS patients in England will join trials for personalized cancer vaccines,
• 8:41
  aiming to provide a permanent cure by targeting individual tumors.
• 8:47
  This groundbreaking initiative, part of the Cancer Vaccine Launchpad, is hailed as a
• 8:52
  game changer and will initially focus on colorectal, skin, lung, bladder, pancreatic, and kidney
• 9:00
  cancers.
• 9:02
  The vaccines, developed by companies like BioNTech, use mRNA technology to help the
• 9:08
  immune system identify and destroy cancer cells, reducing the risk of recurrence.
• 9:15
  This marks a significant advancement in cancer treatment.
• 9:18
  And in entertainment news, director John Turteltab has confirmed that a script for National Treasure
• 9:28
  3 is currently being written with hopes of Nicolas Cage and the original cast returning.

  Director Jerry Bruckheimer expressed optimism about the project earlier this year.
• 9:41
  Turteltab emphasized the importance of adapting to cultural changes and maintaining relevance.
• 9:48
  Nicolas Cage also voiced his surprise that Disney hasn't greenlit the sequel yet, highlighting
• 9:54
  the family-friendly and educational nature of the films.
• 9:59
  More updates on the movie are expected in the future.
• 10:02
  Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
• 10:08
  And today, I'd like to send some thoughts and prayers to my Uncle Danny, who's in the
• 10:13
  hospital recovering from open-heart surgery.
