Welcome to teen kids news. Im mwanzaa. And im siena. Well start with our top story. Its easy to forget that right now, all around the world, men and women in the u. S. Armed forces are putting their lives on the line to protect us. Its also easy to forget that many of those in uniform are moms and dads. Thats why this next story is so important. Katie tells us about camp corral. They might look like typical summer campers, but each shares a special bond, a special burden. Each has a parent who was injured or gave their life while serving in our military. And here, they can talk with others who have the same Life Experiences with their military members in their family. I like coming to camp corral because its a good way to get away from all the chaos and stuff from family and whatever problems that youre able to get away from, you can. Its called camp corral for a good reason. Its supported by the restaurant chain golden corral. Money raised through donations enable hundreds of kids to spend a wonderful week just having fun. The summer camp is free. The only cost is travel to and from the camp. We feel really, really good about what we see when we come to personally visit and see these kids having the week of a lifetime. All you have to do is be here at camp corral, hear the childrens stories, and you know were doing the right thing. The first year, there was just one camp corral. Now there are camps in nine states. Ive met a bunch of new friends this year, and i had a bunch of ones i met last year. To learn more about camp corral, theres a link on our website. Theres also info on how to apply for next summer. Its been a blessing to me to be able to come here. It definitely is the week of a lifetime. Its not just the people in uniform who are making sacrifices for our freedom its their families, too. We have a lot more to tell you about. So stay with us. On july 4, 1776, the 13 colonies, then under british rule, declared independence. It was the day that not only formed america but gave birth to modern democracy. Independence day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, and picnics, but it is in celebration of this document the foundation of our independence. The Continental Congress adopted the declaration of independence in philadelphia, pennsylvania. The historic document was drafted by Thomas Jefferson and signed by the likes of john hancock, john adams, and benjamin franklin. To disseminate news of freedom, congress ordered printed copies to be sent by courier to the armies in the field, to the newly independent colonies, to the committees of public safety, and commanders of continental troops. 26 official copies are known to exist. If you think about the declaration, how news spread no tv, no messenger, no twitter, texting so it really was by word of mouth locally and then by printed documents, like broadsides single printed pages or these newspapers. In a remarkable coincidence, both john adams and Thomas Jefferson, the only signers of the declaration of independence later to serve as president s of the united states, died on the same day july 4, 1826 which was the 50th anniversary of the declaration. The historic day marked the beginning of the journey of the 13 former british colonies towards a Lasting Union of independent, sovereign states. Since then, millions have left their homeland to come to america, the land of the free and the home of the brave, seeking to live the american dream. For teen kids news, im david lee miller, Fox News Channel in the classroom. Heres another report in our series on first aid basics. Attila the hun, jazz musician tommy dorsey, and the man who wrote the play streetcar named desire, Tennessee Williams they all had one thing in common. They choked to death. Choking is very common, and with the proper training, you can learn how to help someone who might be choking. What is choking . Choking occurs when something gets stuck in your throat. How do you know if someones choking . If they cant make any noise, they cant cough, speak, breathe, then theyre choking. They might even be making the universal choking sign, but its important to know that if somebodys coughing or making any sort of squeaking sound, theyre not actually choking. Its just the body trying to get the object out. So, what do we do . Ive brought my friend cami here. Shes gonna help us learn what to do if somebody is conscious and choking. So, first, i need to make sure shes choking. Shes not making any sound. Are you choking, cami . She might nod or make a big face at me. Im gonna tell someone else to call 911, cause i want to make sure help is on the way. And i am gonna place one of my arms across her chest and have her bend forward, all the way, at the waist. And then im gonna find a spot right in between her shoulder blades and give five really forceful back blows right in between the shoulder blades. Im not actually giving cami back blows, cause shes not actually choking, but in real life it would be really forceful. If that doesnt work, im gonna have her stand up. Im gonna ask her, can you show me your belly button . Just point to it. Perfect. Im gonna make a fist. Thumb side of my fist goes right above her belly button. Grab my fist with the other hand, and im gonna give five abdominal thrusts to force air underneath the object. Its like a j or a scooping motion when youre actually giving the abdominal thrust. If that doesnt work, i would go back and forth, back and forth between the back blows and abdominal thrusts to try and get the object out till the ambulance arrives. Want to give it a shot . Yeah. Sure. Come on over. Okay. So weve confirmed shes choking. Weve sent someone to call 911. Take one of your arms all the way across and have her do what . Bend over for me, please. Great. And between the shoulder blades. Right up here. Great. And it would be one, two, three, four, five. Great. And that didnt work, so stand her up. What do we need to find . Her belly button. Great. Yes. Beautiful. Good. And how many . Five. Okay. So one, two, three, four, five. Great. And hopefully that works. If it doesnt, you keep going till the emts get there. And how are you feeling now, cami . [ laughs ] a lot better. Choking is no joke. You need to act fast. Its literally a matter of life and breath. For tkn, im alexa. You can find out more first aid tips on our website. Just follow the link. This report is brought to you by intel. Even though summers just beginning, its never too early to get some great advice on musthaves for back to school. Annie wang is a cofounder of the popular website hercampus. Com. She started the site when she was a student at harvard. Hi, annie. Hi. I understand you were recently invited to test out some new intelinspired devices. How cool was that . It was really awesome. I got to try out some of the latest intelinspired touchcapable 2in1 ultrabooks and tablets. When you say 2in1, what does that mean . Sure. So, intel has actually inspired a whole new category of ultrabooks and tablets that give you more than one way of using them. So, for example, this lenovo yoga is currently in tent mode, and youll see that here. So, like, say you want to just relax and watch a movie, you can do that in this mode, but it will also convert into a number of different modes for example, back into clamshell mode, like a traditional laptop, and then you can have all the productivity you need. What a great idea, but is it a budgetbreaker . So, these devices are actually great news for a highschool backtoschool budget. Being able to wring every last cent of that student budget by getting just one device that serves two needs and is also powerful and stylish to boot is a gamechanger. Okay. Say we plan on doing a lot of traveling. What do you recommend . So, i actually travel quite a bit myself, and my pick is this asus vivotab. Its light, powerful, and super portable just fits right into my carryon purse. So, if i want to, you know, work on a spreadsheet or change the layout of a web page in flight, i can do that in this mode. Or, if i want to, you know, relax and just watch a movie, i can actually detach the screen right here and just go into this mode right here. I like that a lot. All right, whats next . Yeah, so, this is the asus taichi. At first, it just looks like a slim and stylish laptop. But, wait. Actually, it packs a Second Screen here on the lid, and that will allow you to just collaborate in class, you know, even work on something on this screen while your roommate checks her email on the other. Impressive. I see that you have one more device. Whats special about that one . Yeah, so, this dell xps actually has a screen that flips, so if you actually just go like this. It will flip, and then you can use it in tablet mode very easily. And what do these devices cost . These devices are available at Retail Stores like best buy, starting at 500 and up through 1,000plus. Great information, annie. Thanks for joining us. Thank you so much for having me. If youve been unable to decide between a laptop and a tablet, a 2in1 device may be the perfect answer. For more information, you can check out intel. Com. One of the leading causes of car crashes is driver distraction. If you take your eyes off the road for even a few seconds, by the time you look up again, it might be too late. Carina got a chance to see how ford tests a new device that could be a true lifesaver for teen drivers. Were at the test track called the Dearborn Development center. And were on the steering and handling route, which is a twolane road that well be driving on to do our test today. These engineers are getting ready to test fords new forward collision Warning System. Say you were going 50 miles an hour, and the car in front of you is going 30 miles an hour and youre distracted for whatever reason. The system monitors the driver to see whether or not theyve done anything, like apply the brakes or steer out of the way, and if the system sees you have not done anything to avoid the collision, it will warn you with an authoritative beep. [ beeping ]. And a headsup display that flashes in the windshield. I want to show you something. This may not look like much, but its a key part of the rig. Thats because its actually a heavyduty balloon, sort of in the shape of a car. Thats why ford calls this test the balloon car bump. The balloon car bump is a way to test two vehicles as theyre about to collide with one another, but the target vehicle is actually a balloon. So when you get close and actually impact that balloon, nobody gets hurt, no cars get hurt, and we can run that test several times. So how exactly does this Warning System work . It uses a technique borrowed from bats you know, the furry, flying kind. Theres a radar behind this bumper right here, and it shoots out radio waves, and it can track a car in front of you. And it can tell how fast that car is going and whether or not youre about to collide with it. Wow. Thats really cool. Yeah, i think so. Once the balloon car is attached to the boom, were ready to put the pedal to the metal. Dale here is gonna drive the ballooncar rig, and you and i are gonna drive the Ford Explorer impact vehicle. So, you ready to try this out . Yeah. Lets go okay. Well put you in the passenger seat, and ill drive the first one. All right. So, carina, what were gonna do first is we have the forward collision Warning System turned off, and were going to simulate a crash with the balloon car. And as we get closer and closer, youll see that well get no warning. So, you ready to give it a whirl . Yep. All right. Here we go. Go ahead, dale. Here goes nothing. [ engine revs ] everythings just fine. Everythings fine. Oh, my god [ laughs ] so that is a simulated collision with a vehicle. That was fun. And we got no warning, as you saw. And that wouldve been about a 25mileanhour collision. The car would have been totaled. Then it was my turn. I get a chance to see what its like to be a test engineer, when teen kids news continues. Were back at the test track in dearborn, michigan. Ford engineers are resetting their balloon car so it hangs underneath that long metal boom. And in order to have that balloon car move, weve attached it to this boom vehicle here, which allows the boom car to move, the test car to move, and then we can have several collisions a day. Basically, the balloon car allows engineers to study accidents without anyone getting hurt. Mike is showing me how fords new forward collision Warning System works. And hes letting me experience it firsthand. So now weve switched seats, and youre in the drivers seat. Weve turned the system off, so you can experience hitting the balloon car. So what im gonna do is im gonna have dale go ahead, and then well go right into him and see how it works. You ready . Yep. Okay, dale. Go ahead. Pull up a little bit. Get up to about, oh, right around 40 miles an hour, give or take. Perfect. Well stay right in the center of the lane. And youre gonna be aiming straight center. Keep your foot into it. Foot right into it. Aah [ laughs ] good very good. It wasnt so bad. [ chuckles ] well make a test engineer out of you yet. Supposing that was a real vehicle, what would have happened . I would have totaled this car. Right. And it would have been quite a collision. So thats what were here to try and prevent. So then lets turn the system on and try it again. Okay. So now go ahead and turn the system on. Okay. [ beeping ] and it gives you an indication that its on. Now were going to go ahead and do the same simulated collision. But when the system warns you, go ahead and apply the brake. Okay. Okay, dale. Go ahead. Well be in the same lane as dale. And now its simulating. The radar is tracking the vehicle right in front of us. [ beeping ] much better. Wow. Thats a great safety device. Much better result. I think your parents would be much happier after that than without the system. Definitely. Do you think that this test can help save lives . Carina, thats a great question. Im so glad you asked it. I have young sons who will be driving soon, and i get up in the morning to come to work at the Ford Motor Company to make safe cars even safer. And this system allows me to test the forward collision Warning System and make it just as effective as it can be, so i completely believe it can help save lives. [ beeping ] thank you so much for everything. I learned a lot. Great. Thank you. Thanks for visiting Ford Motor Company and seeing what we do. Car accidents are the numberone killer of teens. A lot of drivers may avoid becoming part of that statistic thanks to this funnylooking contraption. For tkn, im carina. In speak of the week, its your turn to tell us what you think.

Aubrey has another great recipe from the Culinary Institute of america. Remember earlier how we mentioned we were going to be making a toad in a frog . Thats because were going to be using an avocado instead of a piece of bread. Were going to take an avocado, and were going to be using a knife. Be careful. Be gentle. Just place the knife in the avocado, and well roll along the seed until you get to the other side. Remove the knife, place the avocado in your hands, twist a little bit, and then open it up. Now were going to be removing the seed from the avocado. If youve never done this before, dont be afraid. You can ask someone to help you. Its very easy, and ill show you exactly how you can do it in a very safe way. The way i do it, i like to have a towel to put the avocado on so i have a little bit of stability for the avocado. Place the part with the seed onto the towel and gently place the knife over the seed and then give it a little bit of a whack. Now take the seed with the avocado and the knife, and twist it just a little bit. See . Very easy. Now that we have the seed attached to the knife, well take that same towel, place it over the seed, and gently move the knife out of the seed. [ applause ] now were going to fix the avocado so they dont wobble around as they bake by just slicing off a little bit from the edge of the avocado. Perfect. Well do the same thing to the other half. Now come the eggs. [ chicken clucking ] well put the avocados onto a sheet tray and separate the eggs. Take one bowl for the whites and another for the yolk. The easiest way to separate an egg is to use your fingers. Let the white run between your fingers, and put the yolk into the smaller bowl. Repeat. And now were going to put the yolk into our frog. Well sprinkle the avocado with salt, place it into a 375degree oven for about eight minutes, and itll be ready for us to eat. Use a spatula. Place it right onto a plate. I use a spoon so i can scoop out the avocado. Youll see that the egg yolk creates a sauce for the avocado. Mmm. Creamy, smooth, and delicious. I recommend having a little piece of toast to dip into the avocado as well. For tkn, my name is aubrey from the Culinary Institute of america. Have a great day. Yum.
