00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:09.240
The Shark Deck Johnny Mack with five
good news stories. There was a bald
2
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:13.679
eagle who had gone viral for trying
to hatch a rock. Well, good
3
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:17.960
news for Murphy, the thirty one
year old eagle. He's now taken care
4
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:22.359
of an orphaned eaglet at a Missouri
bird sanctuary. So back in March,
5
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:25.719
the sanctuary explained that building a nest
and nurturing a rock as if it's an
6
00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:29.760
egg is a hormonal response to spring. They clarified, Murphy is not hurt,
7
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:32.280
sick, or otherwise in distress.
He's built a nest on the ground
8
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.679
and is very carefully incubating a rock. We wish him the best of luck.
9
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:40.200
Then in April, the sanctuary received
a bruised and battered orphaned eaglet.
10
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:43.920
His nest had been blown down in
a storm. The sanctuary needed to introduce
11
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:47.799
the chick to an adult eagle for
fostering. They decided they'd give Murphy a
12
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.159
chance. Murphy's dad instincts were already
in high gear, but at thirty one
13
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.439
years old, he had never raised
a chick before. It's definitely a gamble,
14
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:58.280
but was the chick's best chance.
Baby rock was removed and the chick
15
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:03.600
was introduced. The eaglets has been
bonding beautifully with Murphy. Congratulations to Dylan
16
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:07.920
and Garrett. They have designed the
world's best paper airplane. They are actually
17
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:12.480
bowing engineers. It took them twenty
minutes to fold the airplane, which eventually
18
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:17.400
flew two hundred and ninety feet,
a Guinness World record. It wasn't a
19
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:21.200
classic paper airplane design. They used
their knowledge of aeronautics and origami to design
20
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:23.920
something with the same characteristics as a
supersonic aircraft. They said, we try
21
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.959
to mimic the design of various hypersonic
vehicles with travel at speeds over MAC five,
22
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:33.760
so we decided to call our plane
MAC five. They selected the A
23
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:38.359
four, which is European size paper
with the maximum weight of one hundred grams
24
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.840
per square meter. Reasoning the heavier
the airplane, farther one could throw it.
25
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:46.040
We found the optimal angles about forty
degrees off the ground. Once you're
26
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:48.840
aiming at that high, you throw
it as hard as possible. That gave
27
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:52.159
us our best distance. It took
simulations to figure that out. I didn't
28
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.079
think we could get useful data from
a simulation on a paper airplane. It
29
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:59.200
turns out we could meanwhile in your
car, if you're like annoyed with all
30
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:01.480
the screens, can we just have
some buttons and knobs like we used to?
31
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:06.079
Well, good news, they're coming
back. The head of Hunday Design
32
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:08.520
said, we've used physical buttons quite
significantly the last few years. We will
33
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:13.280
continue to have physical dials. I
agree, Just give me a radio button.
34
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.000
It gets a little hard punching around
on everything, you know, I
35
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.639
just want to hit ac blast.
I don't want to go through a screen.
36
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:22.400
Good news from Melissa and Mark.
They saved twenty five thousand dollars by
37
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.719
salvaging items from their own scrapyard for
their wedding. After they got engaged,
38
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:30.159
they decided to build their wedding by
using some of the hundreds of thousands of
39
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:34.599
items brought into their scrapyard. They
eventually found tables, chairs, decorations,
40
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:38.240
even their engagement rings. Melissa said, to have a wedding that was different
41
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:39.319
was always my aim. I love
to stand out from the crowd. I
42
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:43.560
felt it was my challenge to make
our wedding from things we could reuse and
43
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.439
recycle. Melissa said, I'm so
passionate about saving things from landfill, so
44
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:50.120
with my wedding, I wanted it
to be as vintage as possible. I
45
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.240
love the salage with things with the
history, I wouldn't dream of buying something
46
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.719
too modern. With a bit of
TLC, you can make something completely new
47
00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:06.599
and totally unique. I am Patty
Callahan Henry, I am Mary Kay Andrews,
48

00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:47.919
our new releases, as we reveal
the stories behind the stories, offer writing
57
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:53.120
tips, and talk about the creation
of novels, memoirs, and nonfiction titles.
58

So if you love books and you're
curious about the writing world, you

61
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:15.959
pub crawl dressed as Gandalf from Lord
of the Rings, you just might run
62
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:20.959
into sir Ian McKillen Ben Coyles was
celebrating his twenty second birthday. He was
63
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:25.319
all dressed up. They walked into
the next bar and there's sir Ian.
64
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.639
His friend Felix said, we had
no idea it'd be there. We were
65
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.000
on our penultimate pub when someone comes
up and asked we we'd like our Gandalf
66
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:33.439
to meet the real Gandalf. So
I turned around. I assume it's gonna
67
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.759
be somebody pulling my leg. I'd
turned around. It's sir Ian McKillen ben
68
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:40.959
said. He asked me how old
I was and said, happy birthday.
