00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.119
Kalaroga Shark Media. Hey am Johnnie Mack with five Goodus stories.

2
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:16.239
Twenty five cows operating through several neighborhoods in Pennsylvania's Bucks

3
00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:19.239
County after they escaped from a farm.

4
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:21.879
Well where else would they escape from? Right, Seohn, that's right.

5
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:25.760
Annette is one of the owners of the Curly Hill Farm,

6
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:27.879
and she said a call from a neighbor led to

7
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:31.960
the discovery that twenty five cows had escaped. She told

8
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:34.759
CBS they got spooed from the storm. They ran past

9
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:37.039
two electric fences and they hit it with such force

10
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:39.399
they ripped a fence post out of the ground. Then

11
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:42.439
the herd split into two groups. One headed into the woods,

12
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:47.079
the other the suburbs. Ten cows were found outside B

13
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:50.920
and B Beverages in Doylestown. Zach owns the place and said,

14
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:52.560
there were a bunch of farmers here trying to wrangle

15
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.439
them out. Definitely never something I expected to happen selling beer.

16
00:00:56.159 --> 00:01:00.520
All of the cows were eventually recaptured. Gracie was the

17
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:04.640
winner of Cow survivor. Gracie had faded pursuers for a

18
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:07.519
few hours, longer than the others, but was also safely

19
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:10.840
returned to the farm two brothers who were walking along

20
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:12.680
the coast in the Bahamas. They found a message in

21
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:14.640
a bottle that had been written by a fourteen year

22
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:18.280
old in nineteen seventy six. Clint said, I hear my

23
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:20.400
walkie talkie crackle life, and my brother says something like

24
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:22.280
You're not going to believe what I just found. It

25
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:25.000
was a pepsi bottle with a note written by Peter,

26
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:28.920
who was fourteen in Massachusetts in nineteen seventy six. Peter

27
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:32.079
was taking an oceanography class at the time. The note

28
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:33.799
said the bottle would be tossed into the ocean by

29
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:36.760
the coast guard. The brothers were able to find Peter,

30
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:39.959
who says he doesn't remember writing the message, but you

31
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:43.519
remember the class. Paris is adding some names of women's

32
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:46.480
scientists to the Eiffel Tower, joining the seventy two men

33
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:50.319
already celebrated on the Eiffel Tower. The Mayor of Paris

34
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:52.799
has announced the formation of a scientific committee to study

35
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:55.280
ways of adding the names of women's scientists while respecting

36
00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:58.519
the monument's heritage integrity. The initiative is part of a

37
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:01.159
wider drive to promote equality and celebrate the diversity of

38
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:04.280
talent that has shaped our world. Good job by scientists

39
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.560
in the UK. They have a quote game changing breast

40
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:12.199
cancer pill. Trials showed that this drug, this is a

41
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:14.199
complicated name and if you're interested in the story, let

42
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:15.639
me just spell it for you so we get it right.

43
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:20.639
C ap I v as e r TIB. That drug

44
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:23.599
increased the time before breast cancer got worse by about

45
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:26.639
four point two months. The drug is also known as

46
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:31.520
true Gap tru qap and made by Astroseneca, blocks at

47
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:35.479
abnormal protein molecule AKT that drives cancer cells to multiply,

48
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:38.080
helping to slow or stop the spread of the disease.

49
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:41.159
Claire Brownie is, the chief executive of the charity Breast

50
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:44.039
Cancer Now, said the initial reaction of the pill had

51
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.599
led to treatment delays and says this happens too often.

52
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:48.840
Urgent action must be taken to ensure the quick approval

53
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:51.439
of breast cancer drugs so they can be made available

54
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:53.759
promptly to those who need them. So that all sounds

55
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:56.120
pretty cool again, I'm just a guy in the basement

56
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:59.479
reading some stories. This is not a medical show. Please

57
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:05.240
consult proper medical advice. And good news out of Florida

58
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:08.039
a very Florida story. A Florida man had to leave

59
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:11.520
dinner on Easter so he could help wrangle an alligator.

60
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:15.240
Animal trapper Mike, who's known as the Blue Collar Brawler,

61
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:17.199
said he was at Easter dinner with his family a

62
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:20.199
call came in a Jacksonville woman had spotted an alligator

63
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:22.879
in her yard. There's a video in it we get

64
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:25.759
in all the Florida stereotypes. There is Mike, the blue

65
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:28.319
Collar Brawler. He's wearing shorts at tank top and no

66
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:30.919
shoes and he used as a trash can to contain

67
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:33.400
the alligator. The alligator estimated to be seven or eight

68
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:36.680
feet long, the blue Collar Brawler posted on social media.

69
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:40.719
Thankfully no animals or people were injured. The theory is

70
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:43.680
that the alligator had climbed a fence into the woman's yard.

71
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.240
Those are five good news stories for today. You have

72
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:46.840
a great day.
