Harry Potter and the Profitable Misprint

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.640
Callaroga Shark Media. Hi. I'm
Johnny Mack with five good news stories.

2
00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:16.280
Good news if you've got a misspelled
proof copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's

3
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:21.120
Stone, because it might go for
a lot. One that costs just seventeen

4
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:26.359
cents sold for more than seventeen thousand
dollars. What's the mistake? It misspells

5
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:31.839
JK. Rowling's name as Ja Ralling
on the inside cover and uses the author's

6
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:35.799
full name, Joanne. This book
was bought at a second hand bookshop in

7
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:40.000
nineteen ninety seven as a throw in
with a couple other novels. Apparently the

8
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:43.200
book got passed around a lot,
went around the world and then landed on

9
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:48.240
a bedroom shelf. The uncorrected proof
copy was one of only two hundred printed

10
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:52.439
by Bloomsbury nineteen ninety seven, and
Mark the started the Harry Potter phenomenon.

11
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:56.719
The seller was living in Bologna,
Italy, and said in ninety seven,

12
00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:59.000
when I was twenty six, I
had just gotten back to the UK and

13
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:02.159
was living in Crystal Paler I didn't
have much money, but I would like

14
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:04.920
to treat myself to a browse at
a second hand bookshop on Saturday Morning.

15
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:08.920
It's nice profit there. Nice job
by Christian Bell, who just broke ground

16
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:14.079
on a housing project designed for siblings
and foster care. For the past sixteen

17
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:17.840
years, Christian Bale has been using
his celebrity for good and working on his

18
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:21.879
vision for a housing project designed and
built specifically for siblings aging out of the

19
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:26.280
foster care system. It's called Together, California. It'll eventually include a dozen

20
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.640
homes and a community center, all
to keep siblings in the foster care system

21
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:34.359
Together. That's awesome. Bell's inspired
to build a community after he learned about

22
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:38.239
a number of foster children in the
county and how siblings had to be separated.

23
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:42.599
There's a seventy five percent chance that
foster children will be separated from their

24
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:46.719
siblings. Wow, good job,
Christian Baale. There. Colorado is home

25
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:52.200
to the newest national park, The
newly established A Mache National Historic Site is

26
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:57.599
a former incarceration site that unjustly detained
Japanese Americans during the nineteen forties. Is

27
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:01.359
also known as the Granada Relafe Location
Center, is one of ten such sites

28
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:06.519
created during World War Two. More
than ten thousand people were incarcerated there or

29
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.919
between nineteen forty two and nineteen forty
five. The site is meant to confront

30
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:15.240
the painful chapter of American history,
and because of this designation as a National

31
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:19.039
Park, it will be permanently protected. The original buildings were demolished when it

32
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:23.319
closed, but the foundations and road
networks are still visible. National Park Service

33
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:27.039
Director Chuck Sam said, to heal
and grows a nation, we need to

34
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.639
reflect on past mistakes, make amends, and strive to form a more perfect

35
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:35.000
union. A couple has converted a
forty foot school bus into a home.

36
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.560
Josh and Emily. They're in their
twenties, their engineers. They do remote

37
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:43.159
work. They bought a school bus
with the intention of turning it into a

38
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:47.039
mobile homes. School buses are cheaper
than actual mobile homes and provided more space

39
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:52.479
for the couple, who each needed
their own office working on weekends and evenings.

40
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.840
It took eighteen months to transfer the
bus into what they call a schoolie,

41
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.400
a term that apparently means a school
bus that's been renovated as something new.

42
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:05.000
Oh yeah, that's catching on.
One schoollye is a bus turned into

43
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:08.520
a hostel, or another schoolie is
an airbnb. This particular bus is now

44
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:14.719
called Aura. The adventure bus.
It has maplewood ceilings, a shower,

45
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:19.439
a full service kitchen, solar panels, and satellite internet. The conversion ended

46
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:23.159
up costing them eighty thousand dollars,
but they say, we don't have to

47
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.240
pay for plane tickets or hotels,
so we can experience more for our money.

48
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:29.800
Our expenses depend on where we park
and the amenities we find. The

49
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:32.000
southwestern US has a lot of land
available for public use. We like to

50
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:35.919
use that kind of land versus going
to campgrounds, which saves us a lot

51
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.400
of money. Some reviews came in
on Apple Podcasts, much appreciated. One

52
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.280
came in and said feel good tidbits, saying the review as I look forward

53
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:44.840
to the host cheerful demeanor, the
brief stories, and most of all,

54
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.240
reminding us of the positive and worthy
things happening in this world. It's like

55
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:52.919
a few minutes of newsysand every day, thank you for listening. And yeah,

56
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:54.439
the goal here is just, you
know, a couple of fluff stories

57
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:58.960
or not a couple five Hopefully they
make you smile, you feel good,

58
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.280
a couple laugh ones. I'm glad
people are digging it. Thank you so

59
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.960
much for listening. All right,
our fifth story Today. Another one of

60
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:12.639
these stories with weird stuff and a
passenger's luggage today on the plane mummified monkeys.

61
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:15.919
Told you the other day about the
snakes in the pants. Well,

62
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:19.600
Customs and Border Protection, they're at
it again. A traveler was returning from

63
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:25.639
Africa. He told the customs people
the luggage contained dried fish. Again,

64
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:30.600
stop transporting fish on planes. What
are you people doing? But an inspection

65
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:34.360
at Logan Airport revealed this is not
funny, but funny not funny, revealed

66
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:40.040
dead and dehydrated bodies of four monkeys. The traveler said he brought the monkeys

67
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:44.839
into the US for his own consumption. Some people refer to such things as

68
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:48.800
bush meat. A representative of Customs
and Border Protection said the potential dangers posed

69
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:53.000
by bringing bush meat in the United
States. A real bush meat can carry

70
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:57.639
germs that can cause illness, including
the Ebola virus. No charges were filed,

71
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.399
but all the luggage was seized and
the nearly nine pounds of bush meat

72
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:04.879
were marked for destruction by the US
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Hi.

73
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:09.879
That's your five good news stories for
today. If you enjoy the program,

74
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:12.480
tell a friend about it. They
bite like it too, and you

75
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.120
can share this on social media.
That helps grow the show and then more

76
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.120
people can find out about it.
Leave a review on Apple Podcasts. That's

77
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:20.519
always great. And if you're not
already a follower on Apple podcast there's a

78
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:24.160
plus button up on the I think
it's up on the top right on the

79
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:26.480
app. There once you push that
so you don't miss an episode. I'm

80
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.199
here Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
You have an awesome day.
